“Right now his objective is different and he has the option to apply for European positions, that makes him more dangerous right now. 

“To beat them we need to be the best Getafe.

“It will be different for the better, because their goal was to stay a few dates ago and they have changed their goal. 

“Right now they have the possibility of fighting to be higher. “
