Ilaix Moriba Aims for Redemption at Getafe Under the Direction of José Bordalás

Ilaix Moriba, midfielder Getafeassured this Thursday at a press conference that, after committing some ‘mistakes‘ in his career, he wants ‘the world’ to observe him as ‘to the player who saw’ when he performed at a good level in the 2021/22 and 2022/23 seasons in the ranks of Valencia.

Precisely, in the 2021/22 academic year it coincided with José Bordalás, who then directed the Ché team. It was his first year on loan from Leipzig after being transferred by Barcelona and will now reunite with Bordalás at Getafe after arriving at the azulón club on loan in the winter market.

During his official presentation, Ilaix Moriba he praised his coach and declared that he really wanted to recover his best version after half a season without minutes at Leipzig.

“I think that one is neither very good yesterday nor very bad today. I have had mistakes and that is what life is about, learn what one has done. I have a great love for the club of my life, Barcelona. I had mistakes and now I’m at a point where I want everyone to see the player they saw,” he said.

“I am with want to start playing here, That everyone starts respecting me like they did. A correct decision was made or not (leaving Barcelona in 2021). The truth is that I’m happy to be here now and I want to show that I am still the same and I want to work for it,” he commented.

Moriba acknowledged that one of the main reasons for choosing Getafe was the presence of Bordalás on the bench.

“He’s someone I have to thank you very much. Despite the bad time I went through, she knew how to bring out the best in me and motivate me. There were times when I lost confidence in myself and I hope that now we will do it again. He is one of the best or the best coach I have ever had. “I come with desire to give everything for him because they have trusted me,” he said.

“I didn’t want to hear more things because I know Bordalás. I know what he asks for and I can give it to him. I want to start enjoying football every week and that what is said is bad about me. People don’t know me, I have never spoken, I don’t have to explain to people what they talk about me. I only want be like any child who starts playing now“I just want to enjoy football,” he added.

Furthermore, he made it clear that he deeply ‘loves’ football, a sport and a very important profession for him and his family. Ilaix Moriba stated that what other people said about him came to hurt and affect him. However, he stressed that he knew how to be ‘calm’ to face the situation.

“It’s the best thing I’ve done, not speaking and not giving statements because everything I say is going to be taken badly and I prefer to be focused on football. I wasn’t playing in Germany. I had the Africa Cup with my country and I knew Bordalás. He told me that he wanted me to come to Getafe and I didn’t want to listen to any more offers. “I need to play, get my minutes back and show what I’m capable of,” he said.

Regarding Getafe, he stated that it is ‘a big family and a humble team’ that wants to go further. Therefore, the entire team, he assured, has to have extra motivation to think big.

Asked about the Getafe players who have impressed him the most, he cited three: “I knew Alderete, I played with him at Valencia. Also to Greenwood, who doesn’t know him. The League is lucky to have him here and we have to take care of him. Borja Mayoral He has had an incredible year, he deserves to go to the national team. This Milla also. “There are good footballers and we have to believe that we are good and go for more.”

He was with Guinea in the Africa Cup, but he had to return early due to a small injury: “I’m at it, working and little by little I will be able toat the mister’s disposal, when he says. I want to return as soon as possible. I’m the first one who wants to play, but it has to be done with head and without forcing. Almost the entire second round remains. It is better to take it slowly but without pause. Recover well and be at my best. “I come to help the team,” he concluded.
