Getafe suffered a heavy defeat by conceding 5 goals against Lugano in the UEFA Conference League, a result that immediately triggered José Bordalás' reaction in the post-match press conference.
The Alicante coach expressed feeling deceived by the board's failure to fulfill promises regarding the team's composition, stating that the current group lacks the necessary structure to compete in multiple simultaneous tournaments.
José Bordalás' anger after Getafe's performance against Lugano
The Madrid coach criticized the fragility displayed on the field during the first half, where the team conceded 2 goals in just 6 minutes. Given the performance of less regular players, the coach was forced to make 4 changes at halftime to bring in the starters to avoid a more lopsided score.
"I take nothing positive from this; I am very angry. It has been demonstrated that the squad is unbalanced and not even enough for one competition," the coach stated in the official appearance.
Getafe's transfer demands to the board for the winter market
The dissatisfaction expressed by the coaching staff renews the urgency to enter the January 2027 transfer market to reinforce the defense and midfield. Forward Iván Azón supported his coach's words by acknowledging that the team cannot afford such errors at the international level. The blue team must quickly move on to visit San Mamés this Sunday at 14:00 hours against Athletic Club in the domestic tournament.
The board of the Madrid entity will hold planning meetings during November 2026 to define the budget for signings. If the president does not ensure the arrival of at least 3 signings in the January transfer window, José Bordalás's continuity on the bench could be affected for the crucial phase of the season.
