Uruguayan defender Sebastián Cáceres directly compared Liga MX and LaLiga during his official presentation as a new Celta Vigo player. The former América player stated that Mexican football is 'more disorderly' and produces more goals due to its quick transitions, while in Spain the game is more tactical and organized.
Sebastián Cáceres did not hesitate to point out the differences he perceives between both competitions. The centre-back, who spent over six years at América, explained that in Liga MX there is 'quite a bit more disorder' and many more transitions in play. 'Over there, there are many goals due to disorder, quick transitions,' the player stated. In contrast, he described LaLiga as a tournament with more tactical matches, where defensive lines are harder to break and results tend to be tighter. His focus now, he insisted, is on adapting as quickly as possible to Celta's style.
Cáceres's decision to sign for the Galician club until 2030 was influenced by several factors. The player mentioned the team's playing philosophy and received positive advice from close contacts familiar with the project. Among them, he highlighted his former América teammate, Álvaro Fidalgo, with whom he shared a dressing room in Coapa. Cáceres valued the information they gave him about the club and the city, which ultimately convinced him to begin this new stage in his career. The defender is still awaiting his official debut in the sky-blue shirt.
The arrival of Cáceres strengthens a defence that has shown some inconsistency at the start of the season. The team, managed by Claudio Giráldez, currently occupies fourteenth place in the LaLiga standings after the opening matches. The Uruguayan competes for a spot in the centre of defence with players like Carl Starfelt, Joseph Aidoo, and Unai Núñez. His experience and physical profile could add solidity to a unit seeking stability. Fans can check the full squad composition on our site.
Celta's immediate schedule is demanding. After the international break, the team will face Real Betis at the Balaídos stadium next weekend. This match represents an important opportunity to add points in the fight to avoid relegation. The team will then visit Valencia at Mestalla. Sebastián Cáceres signed a contract with Celta Vigo that ties him to the club until June 2030.
