Jaime Mata, Getafe forward, assured this Thursday at a press conference that his team has to score points and not lose to Real Madrid to alleviate their situation in the LaLiga classification.
The Madrid team looks askance at the relegation places and must face two complicated days in a row with clashes against Real Madrid and Barcelona. The first of the two matches, in front of the Madrid team, it will be this Sunday and Mata wants to get some point.
“It would be very positive to add. We are at a time when we need to add, be it three or one. It is important not to lose. Every point can be decisive ”, he explained.
“Once the bad drink of the last game was over, we started the week with our sights set on the next one with great enthusiasm, desire and motivation to move forward. Adding against the greats is always positive. They are the best, they want to win and adding is very important for us ”, he added.
He also acknowledged that the statistics are clear against Getafe in terms of the number of goals he has scored this season. In total, it accumulates 22 and is, together with Eibar, the team that has scored the least.
“In previous seasons lThe scoring numbers have been better in terms of group and individual level and it is a fact. It is a deficit that we have, we are aware. It is not a matter of generating, it is a matter of hitting the mark. We are conscious starting with me as a forward ”, he pointed out.
“The main responsibility is ours (of the forwards), we are the ones who play closest to the goal. Right now we need to add all of them. Standing ball, a direct foul, any action that makes us add ”, he pointed out.
He also spoke about the three key games that Getafe played against Elche, Osasuna and Cádiz: “The feeling has remained that we were able to achieve victory in all three games. We had very good times. I stay with the thorn of Cádiz, because it was a defeat and the least was a point, “he said.
Finally, he acknowledged that Getafe will probably have to fight to the end to get salvation:
“I wish I could say that it will be achieved sooner. After the last loss at home, everything will be very even until the end. I hope we get the permanence sooner, but until the end everything will be very even. It is a situation that nobody likes. We all want not to suffer, to be calm and now we have a situation that touches us after very good years. You have to be positive, “he concluded.
