Nine years, a month and 25 days, or what is the same, 1,718 minutes spread over 18 official meetings, is the time that the Getafe accumulates without scoring a single goal Atlético de Madrid in a statistical series that borders on a surrealism perhaps never seen in The league.
Since Diego Castro scored a penalty 82 minutes from a Getafe–Athletic disputed in the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez On November 6, 2011, the Madrid team failed to score a single goal against an opponent who choked to an almost blushing point.
That meeting ended with the last known victory of the Getafe before him Athletic. The 3-2 against a team that led Gregory
Apple tree it is the last great result of a club that seems to suffer an insurmountable traffic jam with the passage of time. And, part of the blame, it is Diego
Simeone.
That same season, 2011/12, the Argentine coach began his career at the helm of the Atlético de Madrid and with him began the abusive series before him Getafe lasting almost a decade. In that course, on matchday 37, he made his debut with a resounding 3-0 and since then he has not stopped reaping points against his neighbors in the south of Madrid.
The numbers are scandalous: 16 matches of League, 2 of Copa del Rey corresponding to the last 16 of the 2012/13 academic year with 34 goals in favor and none against. In total, 14 wins and two goalless draws (one in Cup and another in The league). Always with Simeone on the bench.
This Wednesday, Bordalás He suffered another disappointment in his flesh. He has not escaped another defeat. It is the fruit that he has always gathered every time he has faced Atlético since he signed for him Getafe in September 2016.
Although his team did battle in the Metropolitan Wanda, to Athletic practically a couple of occasions were enough for him to win again at Getafe. First, Thomas lemar crashed into the post in the first half and after, Luis Suarez, with a great header, he scored the winning goal.
Without complexes and despite not having several key players in his scheme, the Getafe He tried the manhood of beating a team that he can't get his hands on. He could do it Angel with a shot and Xabier Etxeita with a shot from inside the area. He was out of luck. Both times were in the first half. In the second, just a shot of James
Bush disturbed Jan Oblak.
That was all the offensive baggage of the men of Bordalás. They did not play badly, but, as always, they sinned shyly before him Athletic, who once again got away with it against a rival who fell to the knee again.
In the end, in a not very showy game, the Athletic he added another three points to stay in the lead. It was enough an appearance of Luis Suarez and the Getafe it ended as usual, with defeat. The traffic jam is monumental and eye-catching. No one can explain what happens to the team José
Bordalás, which adds up to 1,718 minutes of an inexhaustible curse.
