Bordalás Does Not Bite His Tongue When Talking About His Team: “It Is A Very Poor Background”

José Bordalás, Getafe coach, restated euphoria to the improvement of his team in the last games, he recalled this Friday at a press conference that the azulón team barely has won a match after the first ten games played in LaLiga EA Sports and said that those statistics are “a very poor baggage“for his club.

A little more than 48 hours after facing the Valenciathe team he coached in the 2021/22 season, analyzed the crisis experienced by the ‘ché’ team, bottom of the classification, and focused on the work that he and his players have done so far in the first section of the course .

“Optimism I don’t think there is. There is a latent reality. We have not been in the championship for three days, we have been in ten days, 27 percent and we have won only one game. It is very poor background and it is reality. We have to score points, you don’t live by sensations. We played a great game in San Mamés, in Barcelona we lost by the minimum and we were able to tie. We tied last Sunday at Villarreal’s home, which is a very difficult field,” he said.

“We have played great games at home, but we have not won. The team needs to define offensively and we are not doing it. We have had a deficit and the team needs wins to score points,” he said.

“We haven’t had that success. We have had very good home games where we have taken the initiative and we have not won. Right now we are in an important situation. We face a rival like Valencia who has a high level and has been hurt in the standings. That’s going to give them an extra and it’s going to be doubly difficult. We are prepared and psyched up. We have prepared thoroughly for the match and we are focused exclusively on Sunday’s match. “Whatever comes will come, we only think about Sunday’s game,” he added.

About the complicated situation of ValenciaBordalás was confident that at the end of the season he will not be in danger of losing the category because, in his opinion, he has a great squad that can reverse his bad situation so as not to end up in the Second Division.

“The truth is that it catches our attention because it is a great club with a great fan base. It may not be going through its best moment, but there is not a big difference in the classification. In this last round they have had to be at the bottom, but I am confident and have no doubt that at the end of the season that team will not be there. But our wish is that it won’t be this Sunday, but knowing the squad, the club and the fans, I’m sure that Valencia will climb positions and won’t be in that position,” he commented.

“At the moment I am not in Valencia and I cannot give an opinion. I do not know the reasons why they are in a different situation than that which that club deserves by history, by level, by city and fans. If I gave an opinion, possibly I was going to be wrong. They are situations that are not pleasant, they are not comfortable, they are difficult and surely everyone is working to reverse the situation. but surely in the end they will get out of the situation they are in,” he stressed.

For Bordalás, the match that Getafe tied 1-1 last day against Villarreal homeis part of history despite the fact that its players achieved “a point of great merit” despite a great team and in a difficult stadium like La Cerámica.

“I agree with the players that we have to make a good point by adding a victory against the Valencia. It’s not going to be an easy game. They are a great team, they have a squad with many alternatives. Despite the classification, it is going to be a difficult and complicated match,” he said.

“Valencia is only three points behind us and we are one point above the relegation cut-off. Maximum respect for the Valenciawe have to focus on ourselves, we have to achieve victories despite our limitations. The feelings and commitment of our players invite optimism. But we need points, we don’t have the ones I think we deserved,” he added.

Bordalás reported that he has his entire squad available with the exception of Borja Mayoral, who already missed the match against Villarreal due to some physical discomfort and that it will be a doubt until the last minute to face Valencia.

“We won’t know if we can count on him (with Foreman). He came from a long-term injury. We have introduced him little by little. We knew we had to be patient, have peace of mind. “He knows that we need him because he is a very important player and he also knows that he has to be one hundred percent to help us,” he said.

He also spoke about the Uruguayan Mauro Arambarri, who seems to have fully recovered from his injuries and is Getafe’s top scorer this season with three goals, the last against Villarreal in La Cerámica: “We said it when we still couldn’t count on him, that he was a very important player. Now that we can count on his help, he is showing the level he can give. I even think that he is still not at his best level. But surely On a day-to-day basis and in competition he will surely feel better. We are very happy and I hope that the injuries will be forgotten and we will be able to see the best version of Mauro Arambarri.”

Uruguayan striker Álvaro Rodríguez, also injured at the beginning of the season and already with minutes, did not rule out that he could play against Valencia at the point of attack alongside the Turk Bertug Yildirim: “It is a possibility that we have. Álvaro is a boy who has been injured for a while. That prevented him from having a good preseason, from reaching that optimal level. Little by little he is coming in, last weekend he had more minutes. “It is a possibility, the boy is very eager, but we have to analyze many variants and possibilities. That is one of them.”

Regarding the rumors that place Christantus Uche at Chelsea, he made it clear that he does not pay attention to this type of news and acknowledged that no offer has come to Getafe for the Nigerian midfielder: “When a club is interested in a player, they get in touch and no one has contacted I contacted my club and they are rumors. The player has to be focused, he has just landed in professional football. He has to improve a lot, he cannot be distracted from reality, if he is distracted, he and the club will lose. “continue to grow as a player, continue to improve and help us. Your start has been very good and you have to improve in many aspects of the game and day to day.”

Regarding the importance of Allan Nyom at the azulón club, highlighted that Getafe’s latest signing, just a couple of weeks ago, has great importance both on and off the field of play due to his involvement in many aspects of day-to-day life: “I encourage many young people to learn of him. He is the first to arrive, the first to be in the gym for many hours, he makes a complete professional life. He works phenomenally and is going to help us on and off the pitch.”
