Getafe, a Two-Faced Opponent
Atlético de Madrid faces Getafe this Tuesday, February 4th, at the Metropolitano in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals. While Getafe’s public discourse has been pessimistic, with José Bordalás highlighting Atlético’s superiority, the truth is that Getafe’s players are confident in their ability to knock out Atlético.
With a solid defense that has not conceded any goals in the Copa del Rey and only 17 goals received in La Liga, Getafe is in good form. Additionally, Bordalás aims to create a false sense of defeatism to surprise Atlético, whom they already troubled in the December league match. Getafe’s players feel they have a chance to win and prove they are a more dangerous opponent than they appear.
