Carles Pérez, since leaving FC Barcelona in 2020 in search of more playing opportunities, has not managed to establish himself in First Division football. In his current team, Celta, after a successful first season, his outstanding performances have been conspicuous by his absence in this new campaign

Carles Pérez, after contesting 13 parties with two goals and three assistances, left to the FC Barcelona in 2020. Since, had a brief stage in the Rome and finally was yielded to the Celtic of Vigo in 2022, where had a campaign stood out with five targets and six passes to goal in 38 clashes, what carried to the Galicians to decide by his traspaso definite.

The 'Celestial' paid 5,2 million euros for tackling his services, turning it into one of the costliest incorporations of this season for the vigueses, only by behind Anastasios Douvikas the one who cost 12 'kilos'. It expected that Pérez was one of the visible faces of the project of Rafa Benítez, but his presence in the team has gone dispelling along the days, because of two factors: a muscular injury to the beginning of this period and the change in the tactical diagram that the Madrilenian technician decided to implement in his combined.

The change of diagram of the Celtic of Vigo 'prejudiced' to Carles Pérez

Initially, Rafa Benítez opted by a diagram 4-4-2, that favoured to Carles Pérez, the one who to the equal that Jonathan Bamba, could split from the centre of the field and offer like an offensive option by the sides. However, after the rugged debut against Osasuna, in which the native of Granollers was headline and the Galician cast lost 0-2, the plans changed drastically.

In the third clash by LaLiga, the trainer of the Celtic modified the diagram to a line of five defenders, renouncing to a midfield player. When deleting this position in the midfield, Carles Pérez remained without place, since Jonathan Bamba, Luca Of the Tower and Fran Beltrán seem to be very established in this zone.

Carles Pérez sees every time less action in the Celtic

In spite of having recovered of his injury, the ex of the Barça has not had minutes of game neither against the Mallorca neither against his exequipo, the FC Barcelona. Up to now, only it has played 34 minutes in the last four duels in which it has been part of the plantel Galician, in which no has seen him engaged in the defensive appearance, what also has limited his opportunities to play in the diagram of Rafa Benítez.

In front of this situation, the possibilities of Carles Pérez in the Celtic of Vigo seem increasingly remote, since it does not seem that the Madrilenian technician go to change his training 4-4-2, that has succeeded. Besides, the fault of rhythm of game do to foresee that the stage that the one of Granollers in Galicia does not go by good way, unless it occur a significant change in the events.
