Míchel: “I don't know how to live with defeat”

What is there to change in the team after the defeat against Elche?

Every week we try to shore up things that we have to improve and be aware of the rival who has his virtues. What we really failed to do the other day is that we didn't react after receiving the goal. That is not normal for this team, which despite the circumstances has always been brave and determined. In this beginning of the League, any adverse circumstance touches us. I hope that changes.

How did you personally take the beeps from the audience towards you?

When you do not win, people are disappointed and look responsible. Those of us in football accept it. What we cannot do is stop either for the whistles or for the applause. My responsibility is ahead of that of the players. The people of Getafe want their coach to be right because they want their team to win.

Arambarri is the one who has finished the most. What happens to the forwards?

This week I have spoken to the players about this. We are the team that plays the most in the opposite field, the one that hits the most centers and shoots the most with less success. The ball does not obey us to enter the goal. From the beginning we are clear about what we want to do. We are not going to change the philosophy. The rival does not arrive so much and hits much more. It will have to be redirected. I don't know how to live with defeat or playing well.

El Rayo is fine and now Falcao arrives.

Before Falcao they already were and they played very well the first games. They have a very defined structure. The key is in the zone that we allow them to play. If it is in our field we will have problems. The additions have been good.

Will the band play be key between these two teams?

Even if you want to contain the virtues of the Ray, it will have to work very well. They have not changed anything from last year. They take the ball from behind with Catena, Trejo and Comesaña have very good abilities. The Ray has quality.

How is the lack of goal solved?

It is something that worries us. Last year we only scored 28 goals. We have signed Sandro and Macías. Sandro has had discontinuity due to injuries. Both Ünal and Mata who were already there are going to give us a lot and will exceed their figures from last year. We have to get our midfielders to also arrive and score.

Did you see Cuenca well in the starting eleven?

We are not looking for anything else in the market to wait for you. He is a player with a great future and present. He is a very good player who is going to have a very high progression in Spanish football. He has quality to get the ball, size and agility. You will improve defensively over time.

He already lived a similar situation in his first stage with nine games without winning. Can it serve you now?

That happened in the middle of the season and this happened to us at the beginning. I did not expect to be in this situation and we have not made merits for this. You have to assume it. That streak passed. In my first stage that we arrived at UEFA, we broke a bad streak with their corresponding rumors, winning 1-3 at Sevilla. I don't notice any mistrust of the players, neither towards me nor towards what they do. I am convinced that this is going to change.

Who will replace Arambarri?

The Rayo coach will be listening to me. The alternatives are Timor and Florentino. There is one more possibility, but I'm not going to say it.
