Getafe manager Bordalás recently expressed frustration with his squad's lack of depth during a post-match press conference following the game against Celta.

Bordalás stated that the team had many young players and that when playing with a numerical disadvantage, he needed more experienced players.

Bordalás said: "Our squad depth is still insufficient, with many young players coming from lower divisions. When we were down to 10 men, I expected more experienced players to take command, but our squad is very young. Although the president has publicly stated he is satisfied with the squad, that's just words. Deep down, he knows our squad level is not adequate, and the club's work in the summer wasn't good."

Responding to Bordalás's criticism, Getafe president Ángel Torres addressed him in an interview, stating that Bordalás said this mainly because the severe injury to his favorite player Uche has affected him deeply. Uche is Bordalás's preferred player, and this summer, at Bordalás's request, Getafe chose not to sell Uche. However, Uche suffered a serious right knee injury that ended his season following a reckless challenge from Monaco player Maripán during a pre-season friendly against Monaco.

On Soria

"Soria set a La Liga record and has begun writing his own legacy. It will be very difficult for future generations to break Soria's record. Unfortunately, in Spain, managers have changed many times over the years, but no manager has ever called up Soria. Soria has signed a long-term contract extension with us, and his goal is to play for Getafe until retirement."

Bordalás says the club underperformed in the transfer market

"We have 24 players registered in the first team, which is not a small squad, but two of them are sidelined with long-term injuries, which is likely the reason for Bordalás's complaints. Bordalás's demands are very high, but I still believe we shouldn't complain. Uche's injury has affected Bordalás greatly. Throughout the summer he asked the club not to sell Uche, and we honored his request, but who could have foreseen that Uche would suffer such a serious injury that would end his season? We made several signings afterward to strengthen the squad, but Bordalás said this anyway. I still think we have sufficient personnel, but of course, if we feel the need to continue reinforcing after playing more matches, we will buy in the January transfer window."
