Getafe boss José Bordalàs responds to Frenkie de Jong criticism

Los Azulones are currently sitting third in La Liga having finished last season in fifth spot – missing out on the final Champions League spot to Valencia on the final day of the campaign.

Bordalas’s side are also into the last 16 of the Europa League having defeated Dutch side Ajax – De Jong’s former club – in the Round of 32.

Dutch international de Jong joined the Blaugrana in a €75m deal from the Amsterdam club last summer and was critical of Getafe’s style of play.

As highlighted by Diario AS, the central midfielder said: “Getafe does not play to entertain the fans, it bothers me to watch them play”.
