Granada CF - Celta Vigo preview - Granada seek response to Real rout

Posted Wednesday, April 08, 2015 by PA

Granada coach Abel Resino is determined to see his side bounce back from Sunday's 9-1 defeat to Real Madrid when they take on Celta Vigo on Wednesday.

Both the Primera Division strugglers and their midweek opponents go into the fixture in poor form, having won just one of their last five league matches.

The hosts, who sit three points from safety in La Liga, will be hoping to secure a victory as they continue to battle against relegation.

And Resino says his players must wipe the demolition in Madrid from their minds and move on from the thrashing.

He told Granada's official website: "For me it has ended, I already explained it in the press conference in Madrid.

"Part of the blame is mine. I do not want to speak any more of Madrid because for me it is gone."

El Grana have only won one of their previous eight La Liga games and Resino knows they need to start picking up points if they are to beat the drop.

He said: "The dressing room is aware the next two matches are vital.

"After the drubbing we've had we need a victory tomorrow to continue believing in what we are doing."

Despite their recent poor form Celta remain in mid-table, 10 points above the relegation zone and just two points away from the top 10.

Last time out they were narrowly defeated 1-0 by league leaders Barcelona.

They will be without striker Fabian Orellana, who is suspended after one of the most bizzare incidents of the season, with the striker sent off against Barca for throwing a lump of grass at Sergio Busquets.
