Iraola: "I find this Getafe very hard to beat"

Andoni Iraola, coach of Rayo Vallecano, he is confident of continuing to maintain the “competitiveness” of the last days to win at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez against Getafe, a rival he considers “very hard to beat”.

The Basque coach, hoping to mathematically prove his permanence in the First Division today, reviewed the azulón team, which needs victory to fight for safety.

“I see Getafe as a difficult team to beat and more in their stadium. If you look at the number of goals received and chances, they are among the best in the category. They didn’t get off to a good start and have changed the situation.In the winter market they made significant efforts and the squad level has improved drastically with players who are now very important, such as Borja Mayoral, Óscar Rodríguez or Gonzalo Villar ”, said Iraolaat a press conference.

“It’s not going to be easy because of the importance of the match for Getafe and I would say even for the four games we have left. In that sense we haven’t had much luck on the calendar, because Getafe, Villarreal, Mallorca and could be counting Levante on points against us, because they don’t have an easy schedule. We need to be alert and be extremely competitivebecause that’s what a fight needs at this stage of the season ”, he admits.

After adding seven points in the last three days, Rayo aims to move on “stay competitive” at the Coliseum.

“That’s fundamental. We also talked about it before the game at Real Sociedad. You won two games in a row, one against Barcelona, ​​it looks like you were saved somehow and it’s true that it’s hard to start the game,” he said. niya.

“Like we did at Real, I think we have to defend very well, because they concede very little and you’re not going to score three or four goals, because no one scored on them. It’s a team that provides very few spaces, they play very closely and with much help between them. They have strikers who are very good, but we have to defend them very well, ”he said.

Eventually, Iraola spoke about Colombian striker Radamel Falcao, on that final day he showed up again with goal after two months out due to injury and in the first leg against Getafe he also debuted with goal.

“Radamel in this area it always has what it has and that is worth a lot. Football goals can be paid and we are lucky to have Radamel. He is already putting together more training sessions and to see if in this last stage, in the beginning or in the second half, he can continue to contribute ”, he concludes.
