Meeting HighlightsGetafe
Winning this match would be our third win in a row and the continuation of our good form. It will be difficult for both teams. Getafe are a tough opponent and are playing well despite having only scored points at home. We expect a challenging and complex encounter. We are optimistic that we can win. We want to consolidate our position in the league and continue to adding points.
Team Status
The truth is, we're doing well overall. Defense is not separate from offense. If you defend well, you attack well and vice versa. When we had to defend with the team a little further back, we were solid and doing well. We must also acknowledge the good form of Unai Simón, he made some good saves.

We know that it is an extremely difficult stadium and team. The team is working well, we cannot limit ourselves to the results of home matches. We know it will be very difficult, but we are looking forward to a good result.
Defense Problems
The other day's match was unexpected in terms of the number of goals. It was not our intention for this type of match to take place and it is not a scenario that any player or coach likes to play in. I think we need to correct those mistakes, especially at the defensive level. When you concede so many goals it is difficult to gain points, this is something we need to fix and improve.
