Jose Bordalas He spoke in the press room this Friday ahead of next Sunday’s game Against “Atletico” Madrid. With great respect and awareness of the difficulties involved MetropolitanAzulonians will look far for their first win of the season Colosseum continue to rally out of slumps.
A quiet week. “We are calm about the need to collect points, the mood always changes after a victory, we were able to work calmly and look forward to the next game.”
Victims: “Berokal is pretty good, Alenya too. We’ll wait, we have one more session, we’ll see if we get those guys back.” Borja may take a little longer. “Mauro’s suspension due to sanction and the rest is available”.
Message to staff. “At the end, I mentioned it at the last press conference, I was not talking about anyone in particular. It was necessary to improve, in that sense I am happy, the boys are giving everything, the feelings are good. We should be optimistic in that regard. “The season is very demanding”
Atletico. “We’re facing Atlético at a great moment, they’re getting great results and it’s quite a challenge, and even more so at the Metropolitano. It shows great strength as a local.” The team is good, I am a winning person and I am not satisfied with the sensations we gave, as happened in Barcelona at the Bernabeu. We just didn’t get good results, and it’s an important moment, it’s not easy. “Atletico” strengthened well in the market, Cholo was able to present those pieces. It’s an interesting challenge.”
Win in the Metropolitan. “We have to play a perfect game, not make mistakes easily, they have one of the most competitive squads in the league. He can fight for any title. It’s going to be tough, we hope to play well before we start.”
Koba violation. “Koba is a young guy, he appeared in the team, we gave him a chance to debut. Everything has its own process, it has to be adapted to professional football, and it is very demanding. There are many things to consider. Details, preparation, day by day…. “We can’t give him the responsibility to be at a high level every game.”
Red and white moment. “I see a great moment for him, we know it’s a long shot, but he can fight in any competition. They have a great squad, we could see that against Sevilla. Sevilla were having a great game, and Cholo introduced five changes to five players who could be in the starting line-up, that’s where we see the potential of Atletico Madrid.”
Alvaro Rodriguez. “The striker lives with goals, it gives him confidence, it is clear that we are satisfied with the boy. “Maybe he’s been at a club where he’s been mostly at professional level, but he’s also a player with little experience and needs time. I hope he’ll adapt and reach the First Division level.”
Substitute for Aramambari. “You know I don’t usually tip, I’ve never done it out of respect for the guys. It’s usually at the last minute unless I tip the player. We have Yellu and Nabil alternatives. We’ll see what we decide.”
Defensive strength. “We know it’s not easy, we are one of the best teams in La Liga. We know that it is not easy for a team like Getafe. We are talking about one of the best leagues in the world, which is not simple at all, it has great merits. “It won’t be easy, the demands are very high, we will face a team like Atlético with very high potential.”
To her husband. “It is important to know that they are there less than the competition. They will be encouraging as always, and that is very important. “They know that, and that’s why they’re with the team.”
Beat Cholo. “They are clichés, we have to understand that the difference between the team and the potential, the structure and the club is huge. It does not mean that we do not take the game with the utmost interest and respect for all the coaches. Cholo, of course, too. We do not attach much importance to it. There have been games where we’ve been close, but it’s too difficult.”
