Bordalás is staying. And I'll say it plainly: it's the best thing that's happened to Getafe in years.

Let's get to the point. Getafe competes at the top with far less than those at the top. And here, a coach is measured by one thing only: how much he gets out of what he has. And when it comes to making the most of little, Bordalás has no rival. Having him isn't luck. It's a privilege.

And I say this as a season-ticket holder. What he has with Getafe is something else: it's that they're alike. Getafe is working people — honest, straight, handed nothing and asking for nothing. People who know that what's theirs is earned with sweat, and who hold their heads high because they've earned it. This team doesn't play to be liked by outsiders. It plays for its own. Well, that's Bordalás's Getafe, to a tee.

We already know what it's like not to have him, and he was missed. Without pointing fingers at anyone: with him, the team is another thing altogether. You feel it when he's here.

Then there's the same old refrain — this, that and the other. Nonsense. Getafe gets criticized because it galls people not to be able to beat us. This team wins through football, through intensity, and because Bordalás is almost always smarter than the man in the other dugout. And isn't that exactly what a good coach is meant to do? Well then.

That's why his renewal is a blessing. We're not just signing someone who wins. We're signing a coach who is just like us. And a club that resembles its people never stops growing.
