Bordalás

José Bordalás, Getafe coach, asked by Marcelino: “We have not spoken, it is indifferent to me.” He admitted that the 5-1 against Athletic Club in San Mamés was “a very hard defeat” that “did not fit into the script” of a game in which the defensive errors of his team “penalized a lot” to the azulón team.

“I do not want to detract from Athletic, but on a defensive level we have been very vulnerable, very soft. All the lateral centers have finished them off and they have scored us all five goals in that way. We have been very deficient on a defensive level,” lamented the coach Alicante.

Bordalás added that, after making “a good first half” in which they took the lead at 18 seconds of play with Marc Cucurella's goal, the penalty that Unai Simón stopped Jaime Mata shortly before half an hour, already with 1-1 on the scoreboard, “maybe the script would have changed.”

“But it was not like that. We went 1-1 at halftime and in the second half we were not well. It is not something usual and all the errors have been collected in the same game. It was a forceful and painful defeat and we have to improve in those actions because they have penalized us a lot, “insisted Bordalás.
