A player who lived at Celta de Vigo, what it means to be separated for not accepting a renewal offer is Jonny Otto. The youth squad had to live part of the preseason of his departure without being able to train with the rest of his teammates. That year the same thing happened to Daniel Wass, Sergi Gómez and Nemanja Radoja. An uncomfortable situation that was repeated this January with David Costas and Jorge Sáenz. On this fact the defender of Wolverhampton pointed in Radio Vigo that “I see it understandable by them but I do not share it“Something that does not prevent him from confessing that he would like to return to Celta although he does not know when.
Jonny recalled that the situation faced by David Costas and Jorge Sáenz, separated by the club to force their exit in this winter market, had already been experienced by him before signing for Atlético de Madrid. The youth squad had not renewed his contract and Celta decided not to let him train with the rest of his teammates: “I lived it, we lived it Wass, Sergi and Radoja, which in the end stayed the whole year. Now they have lived it … “.
“It is a custom that Celta has had since that year, it is something acceptable on their part as well. I see it understandable on their part but I do not share it. Since that year with four or five players the club scored a ‘no more ‘and he’s doing it. I do not share it, especially with home players like Costas. Sáenz who is on loan is not to blame for anything“.
Jonny, who has had to stay out for six months due to an injury to the ligaments in his right knee, said “he feels good” and “eager” after “starting training with the group.” “Happy with the evolution. I feel strong and that’s what’s important, “added the Celta youth squad in Be Sporty. The Wolverhampton Wanderers player pointed out that “I still have a little left” to return to the pitch since “it is a complicated injury and the longer it passes the better”.

The man from Vigo confessed that “from the first moment” he adapted to his new life in England. “Reaching a squad that was not English helped me a lot. You come to an English club but half of the members are Portuguese, the coach is also Portuguese and that helped me. All the people around the team are very friendly and close. They welcomed me as one of them. The truth is that we are very settled “.
“I always said that I would like to be able to try in the Premier and the truth is I am very happy to be here,” he said. Regarding a possible return to Celta, the youth squad replied: “Would I like to return? Yes. I don’t know when, now we are here very happy and content“. The youth squad continues to maintain contact with some Celta teammates such as Rubén Blanco and Denis.
Quiet for Celta
Asked how he is seeing Celta, Jonny said that “I see them well, it is true that since I left they have suffered a lot but I see the team well, I see a happy squad and that is the important thing.” “It started a bit hesitant but with the change of training it was an incredible December, it has not been a great January but the situation is not worrying. They are in a comfortable situation. If they win one or two games they can get into the fight for the positions above, “he added.

De Aspas assured that “I am not surprised because we know him. The numbers are incredible, he is in an incredible moment. The years go by and he seems to rejuvenate like wine. He is very well, helping the team a lot, he is the soul of the team” . “He feels the colors like nobody else and he shows it, not only with goals and assists” said Jonny who highlighted “everything he creates in the game with his mobility, his dribbling, his vision”.
