Bordalás renews push to fix Getafe's defensive woes

Bordalás acknowledged defensive frailties after recent heavy defeats and vowed to restore Getafe's traditional solidity ahead of Sunday's match against Sevilla.

former Getafe manager José Bordalás held a press conference to address his team's recent defensive struggles, expressing concern about the number of goals conceded in recent matches. He emphasized the need to "correct this bleeding as soon as possible" and restore the defensive strength that has always characterized his teams.

Bordalás explained that defensive errors have been recurring in recent encounters and that his coaching staff has worked with players to prevent them from happening again. He acknowledged the squad's limitations, noting they lack depth in certain positions while competing in three competitions. He compared Getafe's resources unfavorably to Sevilla's, pointing out that Sevilla has five high-level wingers while Getafe has none.

After a 4-0 loss to Athletic and a narrow Copa del Rey win over Lebrijana (2-3), Bordalás insisted there are no excuses and the team must go out to win and compete against Sevilla. He also called for improved finishing and more contributions from key players in attack. On the injury front, Zaid Romero remains sidelined after suffering a setback, while Orel Mangala is available after returning in the Copa del Rey.
