“We know Girona, but you have to get in the ring and fight”

Quique Sanchez Florescoach of Getafeinsisted this Saturday in a press conference that teams that have just risen in the category should be taken into account and clarified that they should “remove their popularity as new” because they know how to compete “very well.”

Exactly, one of those clubs, Girona, will face Getafe this Monday. Quique’s side, after losing 0-3 to Atlético de Madrid on their debut, will be hoping for a good result at Montilivi to score their first points. However, the Getafe coach warned of the difficulty of the rivalry.

“The new promotions have to remove the fame they have as new in the category. Among things, because they are teams that compete very well and know how to compete in the First Division. They are teams that have risen thanks to the important collective behavior and group,” he declared.

“We will look for that, with a team that changes systems. They play with a defense of five and have dangerous players in the last line. Two forwards in front, one known, Stuani and the other Castellano, who fights on the ball well up front. And they have good taste with the ball, they play from behind and take risks. We know them, it’s good that you saw them, but then you have to get into the ring and fight,” he added.

For Quique, Getafe need to make the most of their virtues and repeat all the things they did well against Atlético de Madrid. Despite losing 0-3, he had many clear opportunities that he failed to convert and at some stages of the game he completely dominated the rojiblanco team.

“We are very aware of the League we are playing, we are very aware of the preseason we are coming from, we are very aware of what our options are and we have to rescue the positive part of that game. We have seen the negative and analyzed it it’s ours”, he pointed out.

“I hope that those studies will always make things that we understand better and apply. We believe that against Atlético de Madrid we did a lot of good. In fact, we played our best game since the start the preseason. Therefore, from there, repeat the things we did well, which were not easy, and be competitive”, he pointed out.

Asked about the reinforcements that Getafe needed, he revealed that he did not want to speak “publicly” about these issues because he was not “in a bazaar”. However, he acknowledged that “inside” Getafe they are evaluating which signings the club needs for each position.

“We have identified the positions that give us competition and make sure that if there are injuries we are calm. It will be a difficult year, a very difficult year. All the teams are made and we will compete with what our What we have, we will put it one hundred percent and we will try to get the most out of each player. If from here to the end of the market all the bibs are completed, up to 25, incredible. And if they are not completed, we have to press less but press equally,” Indian.

“On the bench the other day we had six men and they probably had to repeat the call because we had thirteen players and we couldn’t think of a possible eleven. Our Praetorian Guard today is thirteen players plus three goalkeepers. And with that, go in front. If we can go in front with that and get a good result, it will give us a lot of energy for the next game,” he said.

Kudos to Angileri and Juan Iglesias

Finally, he spoke about two players, his full-backs against Atlético de Madrid, Argentinian Fabrizio Angileri and Juan Iglesias. In the second he said he was “fantastic”, he declared that he needed a “vertical player with power and strength” and added that if he could find competition on the right wing, it would be one of the “best news” for Getafe.

In Angileri, he explained that he was still missing “almost everything” after “ten months without playing.” However, he praised the Argentine left, who he sees as having the qualities to succeed in Europe.

“Here they play at a different pace, they play at a different rhythm. There’s a tactical wealth that’s lacking in the league where it comes from. They’ve got something different. They’ve got the paddock, they’ve got the wisdom, they’ve got the roguery that maybe doesn’t exist here we are. It’s a different kind of football.”

“He is making some very big steps forward to adapt to what we need from him. He is a diamond in the rough, we are clear on that. And if we are able to get the best out of him, he will be a very important player for Getafe”, concluded.
