José Alberto: If we think we're going to Getafe for a Greco-Roman wrestling match, we're mistaken.

Ahead of the upcoming match on Sunday, Real Racing Club coach José Alberto López warned his squad against mischaracterizing their visit to Getafe as a Greco-Roman wrestling match rather than a football game. Speaking in Santander on August 21, the manager cautioned that the Madrid-based opponent should not be underestimated, emphasizing that the opposing side also plays football.

The statement addresses potential misconceptions surrounding the physical nature of the fixture. By rejecting the comparison to a wrestling match, López sought to focus his team's preparation on Getafe's sporting capabilities rather than anticipating an overly combative or non-footballing confrontation on the pitch.
