There is no disputing the hard facts, even though the Swede was unfairly criticised by the Scottish media and regretted by certain members of the Celtic faithful for some of his performances.
In two seasons, Celtic would not have won five out of six trophies without the 28-year-old defender. It doesn’t matter what people think. I mean, can you tell I like him?
That being said, he has since moved on and is currently playing in the Spanish first division for Rafa Benitez’s Celt Vigo. The renowned Spanish manager has elevated Starfelt within the squad despite the team’s inability to produce success.
Something appeals to Rafa Benitez, the former Celtic defender.
Speaking with the Spanish press, Starfelt discussed being included in Celtic Vigo’s captains pool.
Though it wasn’t what I had anticipated, Starfelt told [La Voz de Galicia] that it was enjoyable. I’ve immediately gained confidence to play and have adapted nicely.
“Thereafter, Benitez asked me to assume an additional duty inside the captain’s team. That makes a statement.”I try to pitch in when I can, but my main goal is to lead by example and give the team my all.”
