Getafe concluded their stage in La Manga beating the Greek Atromitos, closing his third game in Murcia in the same way as the previous two, with victory. Ibiza, Stade Rennais Y Atromites They are left behind and the eyes go to the next friendlies against Fuenlabrada, Rayo Vallecano, Zaragoza and Brighton. Up to seven rivals will put the Madrid team to the test before jumping to Mestalla on August 13 (9:00 p.m.) to start their 38-game journey in the Santander League. Míchel's second career has started on the right foot and although it is still too early to get excited, the results and feelings of the first tests invite optimism.
Back to style
In the three games the team has shown a friendlier face with the ball, depositing the keys to its game in the Pressure, Recovery Y transition. Without the ball, rigor, intensity and aggressiveness were mixed to deny spaces and press when the rival exceeded midfield. After recovering, the possession is not chewed excessively, but sought to Alena to build and combine, to Miranda to energize the space or to sides to deepen and create superiority. Míchel has opted mainly for the 4-4-2, although in the first half against Atromitos the team deployed a 4-2-3-1 that brought fluidity to the game from the Aleñá-Vitolo society and the importance of the bands.
Bet on the quarry
Míchel took La Manga to Sabit, Miranda, Koffi, Alex Rodríguez, Miguel Ángel, Mamor, Finn and Churches (in the dynamics of the first team with Bordalás in the last stretch of the season), to examine them and determine their future. Three have stolen the lights. Churches has left a good taste in the mouth, opposing the right back occupied by Damián Suárez.
Sabit He has suffered the most bitter side of football when he was living one of the most beautiful. While breaking into the double pivot and exposing his skills (good positional reading, anticipation in pressure and physical deployment) he broke the cruciate ligament in his right knee, which will take him away from the pitch for about eight months. Miranda He has embodied daring to face, overflow to dribble and breadth to stretch. On a second step, Koffi, which climbs rungs in his learning every minute he spends in the green.
Míchel has shown confidence in the homegrown players, giving them opportunities to justify their presence in the first team calls. Promises waste vitality and daring, two fundamental virtues for a project where impudence has proven to have a place.
Transfers, from less to more
His set-up was slowly forging, but three games later, the 4 + 1 signings have entered the team dynamics. AlenaAlthough he was part of the team for the second half of last year, he has signed his commitment to the entity in the form of a transfer, which by condition makes him an incorporation. Midfielder He has played in all positions in the center of the field, but it has been as a playmaker where he has had the most impact. “Míchel threw me to come, his style fits me” said Aleñá in his presentation as a azulón before checking how effectively his new coach has managed to find the space in which he can deploy his football.
Vitolo It has been the name of the summer for Getafe. His arrival established a state of grace in the Coliseum, knowing the type of footballer they had enlisted in their ranks. Míchel asked for patience with him, using time as a vaccine against his mistrust. The canary was intoning and against Atromitos he was already seen as the charming footballer who dazzled in Seville and the Islands. An assistance and an air of reunion with himself takes the end of La Manga. Far from that point, somewhat out of tune, undergoing acclimatization to the new continent, is Macias. The Mexican has left sparkles, but he still has to face the European rhythm and style to print his mobility, associative capacity and goal in the azulones, although in his case his main guarantee is the faith of Míchel.
Diego Conde has not had in scenarios where it could be shown and Mitrovic He dispelled the small doubts he left against Ibiza by presenting himself as a useful center-back against skilled and fast forwards like those of Stade Rennais.
