Getafe CF faces officiating criticism and squad transitions
Getafe CF manager José Bordalás expressed frustration following a 3-0 defeat against Alavés, claiming his team is not treated equally by officials. Bordalás noted that the red card shown to Kiko Femenía significantly impacted the match and suggested that the frequency of early bookings for his players indicates a lack of consistency in officiating.
Despite the loss, the club is shifting its focus toward the UEFA Conference League. Bordalás emphasized the importance of preparing for upcoming European competition after the squad underwent several changes due to the departures of key players like Luis Milla and Mauro Arambarri.
Midfielder Mario Martín has stepped up to fill the void left by these departures. Martín expressed his readiness to take on a leadership role in the center of the pitch, stating he feels the responsibility to drive the team forward during both the LaLiga campaign and their European pursuits.
