Unal excited Getafe and screwed Celta

With almost the same training sessions as the matches (three and two respectively), José Bordalás, after losing to Espanyol (1-0) in his first match, decided to walk away from any possible experimentation and He chose a line-up that would be perfectly readable in 2021.when he finished his first spell in Getafe five years later.

Nine of the beginners were part of the team that brought him many successes over the years. In fact, he hasn’t hesitated to add almost new players such as Mauro Arambarri and Jaime Mata to the roster this season. After his injury relapse for the past two months, the Uruguayan is back to be part of the midfield alongside his partner in thousands of battles, Nemanja Maksimovic. The latter sat outside of the alignments with Quique. mayor of borja.

Only Stefan Mitrovic and Gastón Álvarez were completely unknown to Bordalás, who saw how Iago Aspas turned to face Celta in search of victory, in which he virtually sealed salvation.

Bordalás’ old guard trick was effective from the get-go and it took Getafe a few minutes to clear the score. The protagonist was Enes Ünal, who later inflicted a penalty, which he turned indefinitely. The Turkish striker finished his six-game winning streak goalless and the Colosseum exploded.

Getafe needed nothing more to take the lead on the scoreboard at halftime. The trademark registered by Bordalás was perfectly registered and very well implemented by his followers. Almost nothing was played in 45 minutes. Even Getafe delegate Mejuto González was warned twice by referee Guillermo Cuadra Fernández after the ball-boys continued to disappear.

Getafe played by disallowing the game and avoided Celta’s arrival, who only found Franco Cervi’s innocent off-court shot at 45 minutes, and even managed to score the second goal with Celta’s header. Jaime Mata running over the crossbar.

Celta and especially their coach Carlos Carvalhal went to the dressing rooms in desperation. The Portuguese player did not stop lamenting for being on the sidelines for so long and tried to change the bad dynamics of his team with the introduction of Haris Seferovic and Luca de la Torre.

It didn’t work either. At least in the reboot, where Getafe not only didn’t hit the intensity brake, but also managed to boost revenues with a clear opportunity from Jaime Mata, who jumped and was interrupted by Iván Villar. The ball, which reached Ünal from Mitrovic, came to the feet of the Madrid striker.

This game was the clearest example of the Bordalás style, demanding only power and direct play without the possibility of boasting at this time of the course. His disciples obeyed, and Mata’s attempt came with a steal and three hits. Nothing else. However, it was enough for Getafe.

But there was still half an hour. A world without penalties, and even more so against a team like Celta that has tremendous quality players who can turn things upside down. And gradually Getafe began to feel cornered. Iago Aspas started working between lines and Carles Pérez was very persistent on the wing. They caused great anxiety in the Coliseum spectators, who were terrified by the narrowly missed first shot between the two.

Then came the deportation of Joseph Aidoo. Enes Ünal, who struggled with the Ghanaian throughout the match, got his second yellow card by hitting the edge of the penalty area.. And with one shortcoming, and with Getafe, whose players were thoroughly indoctrinated by Bordalás, Celta had little to do but try a miracle.

Despite this, Celta made arrests in the final leg of the duel and occasionally managed to hang out in David Soria’s territory. Getafe was able to put an end to his agony with Münir El Haddadi’s shot on the crossbar, and Ünal’s one-on-one shot.

Finally, Carvalhal’s crew died in despair. He couldn’t do it with a frustrating and uncomfortable team. It was nothing ostentatious, but the Bordalás seal was already conspicuous. Alicante’s coach and former bodyguard drew three key points for Getafe’s future in the First Division.
