Eduardo Berizzo: 'Survival is still the goal'

Celta Vigo boss Eduardo Berizzo claims that staying in La Liga is his team's main goal for this season.

Celta Vigo boss Eduardo Berizzo has claimed that staying in La Liga is his team's main goal this season, despite an impressive start.

Berizzo has led his team to four wins and two draws from their first six games of the season, with that run including a 4-1 victory over Barcelona last week.

Celta have also won at Sevilla this season, but Berizzo has refused to get carried away with his side's strong start to the campaign.

"We'd be naive or foolish if we allowed the front pages to make us dizzy. We had a very good game against Barcelona and half at Sevilla, and those two alone should give us confidence," Berizzo told reporters.

"Nothing should distract us from our idea of humility, with which we played [in those two games]. The objective of every coach is to find the philosophy that the fans demand from their team.

"I think the team are responding to the fans' wishes of a team who attack, play as a team and with lots of effort. Our objective for the season is to earn as many points as possible in order to stay in La Liga."

Only Villarreal and Barcelona have more La Liga points than Celta at this stage of the season.
