Although Emilio Izaguirre feels the winger needs to put in more effort to contend for a spot in the first squad, he should be concerned.
According to fellow Honduran and former Hoops player Emilio Izaguirre, Luis Palma must be “missing something” and should be afraid at Celtic because of the extraordinary lengths he went to at Parkhead.
This season, the winger has had trouble finding the field and has faced criticism for his play in the Premier Sports Cup triumph against Falkirk last Saturday. Palma left Greek team Aris FC to join Celtic last summer for a fee of £3.5 million.
Izaguirre, who previously climbed mountains to prepare himself for the challenge of fending off competition for his left back spot, has now questioned Palma’s efforts while telling him that only the toughest survive at Celtic. Izaguirre spent eight years with the Scottish Premiership champions in two separate spells.
The 38-year-old, who has made 111 appearances for his nation, stated to Futbol Centro America that “you have to be 1,000 percent if you are a 200 percent professional.” You will encounter colleagues that are more professional than you where you compete internally, so you have to learn to eat, sleep, and exercise at 2,000 percent.
Like their supporters, Celtic are a very demanding team. They don’t exclude anything, so if he isn’t in the starting lineup, something is wrong. There are cameras to record everything that is done, including during training.
“Something must be going on, and he should be worried because they do not spare anyone there. He is a great boy and player. Hopefully, this season, he will return to the starting lineup.
“That’s the mentality that every athlete should have; you have to improve with hard work.” “You can’t get sick, get injured. When I got injured, they hired two left-backs. I trained and climbed a mountain to test myself. It’s a mental thing.” “I returned and took over the position.”
