The photo that marked Bordalás returns to his office… and connects with UruguayIn José Bordalás's office, a photograph of several Uruguayan children fiercely contesting a ball occupies a prominent place. He displays it proudly as an inspiring example of what he always demands of his players, and it has generated a buzz among Uruguayan fans and journalists who declare themselves admirers of the Getafe manager.It was a Uruguayan player from Getafe, Mauro Arambarri, who in early 2025 pointed out the respect his coach has for players from his country and revealed the image his coach keeps in his office:>"He loves them (Uruguayan players), because of that competitive spirit that runs in our blood. In his office, he has a picture of two Uruguayan children with the ball in the air, both going in agressively. That mentality is ingrained from the age of five: you have to put your foot in wherever you are, you have to fight for it. He feels the same way about football, with that passion and that fighting spirit."Bordalás also spoke about the origin of the now-famous image: >"Regarding that photo, I've had it in my office for a long time. It's a photo that really caught my attention because it reflects a thought I've always had as a coach. And even as a child, I've seen young players in Uruguay compete very well.">"It's a photo that resonates with me. When the players see it, it also catches their attention. It's very beautiful. It just so happens that they are Uruguayan children, and that says a lot about a country, considering its population and the number of footballers it produces who are playing all over the world."

Nobody want Bordalas because his salary is like 2 millions and the only thing he did at 60 years old was his Getafe tenure
