Zaragoza vs Getafe preview - Jimenez bemoans luck

Posted Saturday, October 06, 2012 by PA

Real Zaragoza manager Manolo Jimenez believes his side's performances have deserved more points than they have delivered so far this season and is calling on his players to be more clinical.

The Aragonese side slipped to their fourth defeat in six games at Valencia last weekend but Jimenez is expected to name the same side which started at the Mestalla after being pleased with the overall display.

He told Marca: "In almost all the games the team has left good sensations. The only thing we lack is to be more decisive in the two areas.

"Getafe have incredible players, but we want to win and we hope to boss the game so that the three points remain here at La Romareda."

The visitors meanwhile come into the game on a high after collecting just their second win of the season against Mallorca on Monday night.

Getafe were again grateful to the creative talents of Abdel Barrada as he teed up Diego Castro for the only goal and manager Luis Garcia has been quick to praise the development of the Moroccan this season.

He told AS: "We are speaking about a fantastic player. His performances this year are of an exceptional level and if he gives a little more he will be tremendous. He needs to continue demanding of himself and with the same desire to learn, grow and improve."

Alexis is still suspended but Garcia could recall Alberto Lopo to the defence after he missed out on Monday through injury, whilst Alvaro Vasquez seems set to continue in the lone striker role.
