Bordalás affirms that: “We have played five games but we have played six”
The Getafe coach has ‘shot’ at the arbitrations he is receiving
The Getafe coach, José Bordalás, has defended himself against criticism of his team’s game and has joked about the data that reflects that His team is the fifth with the most fouls and the first in yellow cards. Getafe has committed so far, in five games, 84 fouls. The Madrid team is surpassed by Cadiz (98), Real society (92), Vallecano Ray (90) and Majorca (88), while 24 yellow cards receivedfollowed by Cádiz and Rayo Vallecano with 15.
“These data are always talked about when Getafe is fifth in fouls and first in yellow cards. The same offense is not punished in the same way.. I’m not going to get into controversy. You have to focus on the work and what the team does well. To win it is not enough to make fouls. Real Sociedad, our next rival, makes many fouls but also does many things well and I have not heard that they have been accused of that. Neither to them nor to others. Yes to us. We left it there,” Bordalás explained at a press conference.
The truth is that in five days has disputed 86 minutes addeda true madness that Bordalás does not understand: “We have been through five games and Getafe has played six because they have deducted 86 minutes from usthat is extreme to say the least. We will have to lengthen the training sessions so that the players get used to it because it is not very normal,” said the Madrid coach.
On the first day of La Liga EA Sports, FC Barcelona visited Getafe, which provoked criticism from the Barcelona team’s coach, Xavi Hernández, regarding the continuous waste of time caused by Bordalás’ team. The one from Terrassa, stated: “It’s normal that people don’t want to watch football. This wasn’t a game, today’s product is a shame”.
The ‘blue’ coach was full of praise for Real Sociedad: “We have to play a great game to get a good result. They are a vertical team, with great individualities, at a defensive level they work very well, they are intense, winners in disputes and they have no problem in making a tactical foul to abort the rival team’s transitions.”
Getafe has as main objective salvation in La Liga EA Sports and does not want to stray from this objective: “We have to keep our feet on the ground. A player told me before that at Villarreal, when they get the points of salvation, Fernando Roig arrives, opens a bottle of champagne and they celebrate the first goal, that of continuing in the First Division. I find it a tremendously interesting action. That has to be our goal, without forgetting that Getafe in the last three seasons was saved on the last and penultimate matchday, that’s why we have to be cautious in comments from Europe because then comes disappointment. I am a very ambitious coach but The reality of the competition will set our objective“There’s a lot left.”
