MADRID, 5 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Athletic Club visits Getafe this Monday (9:00 p.m.) at the close of matchday 16 of LaLiga Santander, in low hours the Basques even though they are in a much more comfortable position than the Azulones, who occupy the relegation zone but with better sensations .
Those of Marcelino García Toral are in a crisis of important results, with six games without winning, which has made them lose rhythm in the fight for European places with 20 points. The lack of aim is condemning the ‘lions’, as on Wednesday against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu (1-0).
The duel that they had pending of the ninth day left an Athletic better than the leader but that did not take advantage of their good chances. Marcelino continues to turn the screw in search of goals, without neglecting the rear as happened against Granada in the previous game (2-2).
“The dressing room is fine because when you are aware of a job well done you have to have a clear conscience,” said the Asturian coach in the preview. The Coliseum is presented as a harsh scenario to reverse the streak, with Getafe that has become strong behind with Quique Sánchez Flores and is in a clear upward trend since the Madrid coach arrived in October.
Now, those from the south of Madrid, who had seven defeats in the first seven games, have 7 of the last 12 points at stake and, although they are still in relegation places, they are on the lookout for someone from above to fail to have the option to leave. from the well. Quique recovers the injured Jakub Jankto and has Jaime Mata, scorer in the Copa del Rey against Mollerussa, in shape.
