Deportivo La Coruña manager Antonio Hidalgo has detailed the suffering involved in facing José Bordalás's Getafe. His side took a point from the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez in a 1-1 draw, a result that leaves Getafe 14th in LaLiga with five points from five games.
The Galician coach was frank in his assessment of the opponent. "Bordalás's teams stress you out a huge amount, you have to be alert for the full 90 minutes," Hidalgo said in the press conference. He acknowledged the difficulty of the match but also his team's moments. "We were able to push Getafe into their own half at the end of the first period, we were very focused and this is all about accumulating points," he added.
The match, from the fifth matchday, finished with goals from Ramón Terrats for the hosts in the 66th minute and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for the visitors twelve minutes later. This draw is part of an inconsistent run for the Madrid side, who have one win, two draws and two losses in their last five fixtures across league and Conference League.
Squad situation
Hidalgo also addressed the absence of Yeremay Hernández, who provided the assist for Deportivo's goal and is suffering from a pubic injury. The manager called it a complicated issue requiring patience, though he expects to see the best version of the player soon. For Getafe, the team heads into the next match with several key defensive absences, including Abdel Abqar and Kiko Femenía, according to the club's latest medical report.
