Bordalas on signings, Enes Unal, Mojica, Mayoral, Uche, the system ...

Getafe CF

Preseason: "It has been atypical; many players have left. To carry out quality training sessions, we have brought in players from the B team. The squad is improving".

Enes Unal and Mojica: "They can help us an awful lot. Enes is a player known to Getafe fans, even though he has had my previous spell. He is a lad who wanted to come to the club ever since he left; he has missed us. He is going to help us an awful lot, not only on the pitch but day to day. Mojica is a player with a lot of experience, one of the best in his position; he will give us a great deal. He arrives with huge enthusiasm. He wanted to come from the start".

First matchday: "It is still that first game of each season. There are certain concerns, certain doubts. Deportivo Alaves know us; their coach has been here in two spells. They know the club, they know the team; they have coaches who have been here recently. We know each other well. We are going to try to put on a great performance; we know it will not be easy. Deportivo Alaves are always a tough opponent at home. We are going to come up against a very combative team that takes you into duels and competes at a very high level. We have the excitement of the start".

Transfer market: "The squad is not closed; we are all in very good harmony. I have spoken with the president every day. From here, I want to thank him for the effort he is making, with the construction of the stadium; there are many things to take into account. I thank him very much for that. We are all in perfect harmony; we know the needs and the positions to fill. Let us see if we get lucky and that capacity".

New refereeing rules: "We are professionals; we have to adapt to any change. There will be no problem. In refereeing, there are excellent professionals. All the changes; the goal is always to improve football and make it more dynamic and more entertaining for fans every day".

Start: "It is a very exciting preseason, where we will be in three competitions. This week we have the Conference preliminary, that will come. We are focused on the game against Alaves. We cannot set the targets; they have to be in day-to-day work, working with maximum enthusiasm and approaching each match with that enthusiasm, and being able to bring it onto the pitch".

Borja Mayoral: "We do not think about that possibility; we are always optimistic. Borja is one more member of the squad; he has worked well throughout preseason. There is competition, and that is a good thing. He is aware of it. I hope he reaches his best level and can help Getafe achieve the objectives".

Luis Milla and Arambarri: "Some players have to come in there. We need reinforcements. They are players everyone knows what they have given to Getafe CF. They are two players who have given a lot to the squad".

Uche: "It was very sad for everyone. Unfortunately, I wanted to be optimistic. After seeing the entry, I feared the worst, which was later confirmed. Unfortunately, it happened. It is very sad because that kind of challenge could have been avoided. The most important thing is that he comes back, not as soon as possible but in perfect condition, and that he recovers his best level. It is a hugely important loss for the club and for the lad. He is very young and I am sure he will get through such a serious injury. I think you have to punish it when there is intent".

System: "We have worked during preseason. You will see it from tomorrow. I am not closed to using a single system or formation; football is much more complex. There are moments and moments depending on the squad you have and the opponent, so you consider what can give you more performance. That is not what worries me most. What worries me most is keeping the enthusiasm".

New season: "It is very exciting; enthusiasm has to give us the energy to face it to the fullest. For a team like Getafe, everyone knows how difficult it is to be in Europe. The difficult part is getting through the preliminary; it will be difficult because Partizan are a great team. We are focused on Vitoria; nothing should distract us straight away. That is our goal. Day to day and working at maximum; making the most of a season that could be beautiful is the objective for everyone".

Attack: "If anything has characterized my career, it is that my teams are bold, daring. A team has to have balance. Just because you have more strikers, you are not going to score more goals. We have been able to see the last World Cup in Spain; without having a specific striker, we were world champions. We need to complete the squad; work is being done on that. Let us see if we can have a balanced squad. My teams have to have an attacking mentality; to win matches, you have to attack well".

Positions to strengthen: "In principle, we are working and agreeing on everything; we will see what is possible. A great effort is being made. It will depend on what is available and what the market offers us. They are positions that we agree are needed".
