Celta Vigo boss Luis Enrique has insisted that his side can overcome their different start to the season.

Despite dominating for large periods against Levante on Monday evening, a late strike from Pape Diop secured all the points for the away side, leaving Celta second bottom of the table.

"If it is based only on the results, there is no cause for optimism. If it is based on what the team has shown, you can see the glass as half full or half empty. I see it as half full," he told reporters at a press conference.

"I have two options - to think that we are going to turn this around, which is what I think, or to begin to give up. My team did everything to win the game. This is a sport that only rewards those who put the ball in the net and, in this case, in an isolated play, Levante have taken the three points.

"Unfortunately it is a movie that I already know. We did not win and the reality is that we have to deal with the situation in the table."

Celta have won just once in the league this season.
