Leverkusen’s, a key match
“A key game because we play to pass and we would also have many options to be first in the group, with what that implies, so a very, very important game.”
A victory would give morale for the derby
“It is important, but we would like to focus mainly on this game, then what has to come will come, which is a derby, a very important game, but this game tomorrow is key for Betis’ interests in European competition.”
With the ambition to win
“Betis has to always go to win, play with whoever they play and whatever they play. We have that ambition and the team spirit is to win. I think we are going to go in this dynamic that we have been having lately.”
An accident about the Wanda
“No accident, in the end what happened can happen, we are talking about Atlético de Madrid, which is a great team, they did better, they won and these things are going to happen in football. I don’t think the effort has diminished at all , the ambition of the team. These are things that happen and you have to accept them that way. “
Is tomorrow’s game more important than the derby?
“I would not talk about the degree of importance, the two games are very important. Tomorrow’s, because we play to continue in European competition and almost the leadership of the group, and the next one because of what it represents, because it is an important game and because of the three points, we want to be up this year and it is key to add three at a time “.
Less rest than Sevilla for the derby
“Well, it has something to do with it, but it doesn’t worry me. These games are games in which we are going with great enthusiasm and we are going to make up for that less preparation time with what that game means for us.”
Would you like Betis and Sevilla to coincide in the Europa League?
“What I would like is for Betis to continue passing rounds and what other teams do I don’t care.”
Will Lainez be seen tomorrow?
“As you understand, the management of the squad corresponds to the coach, we trust him and he is the one who has to know who is playing at all times. We will see who he is betting on.”
Degree of satisfaction with the team
“High, very high, I think we are having a good year. If we look at it as a calendar year, an excellent year, and it is reasonable, we are where we want to be.”
How is fekir
“Fekir is a decisive player because of the quality he has, he is very important for the team and is available to the coach and he will do well. The team is managed by the coach, he knows when and how the team has to play and we trust at your discretion. “
Greater union between fans and team
“I don’t know, the fans are always there, but it is true that when the team gives what they are giving, the fans feel in a much more evident way, it is a very beautiful moment, it is the way we have to follow” .
Economic difference if they are first in the group
“I could not say the exact amount but it can mean between four or five million. But not only the economic amount but what it means to go through rounds and the load of matches that takes away from you, it is very important to be first.”
