Ángel Haro, president of Betis, reviewed the news of the Verdiblanco team before taking on United. “We are going to one of the best stages in Europe, the Theater of Dreams, a difficult rival, but with the illusion that the team is going to compete. The favorites are them, due to budget, economic potential, but we are going to compete and why not win. Let’s go with that wish. They are all very engaged. When you go to this type of displacement, not losing is winning. We are facing a level team and I would like to bring the tie open, to reach Villamarín with options. The team always competes despite the odds. With significant casualties, everyone has taken a step forward. Against Madrid we were even able to win, we had clearer chances than them, ”he said.
The president also spoke about the great win they suffered against Liverpool: “It’s an accident between two teams with an important rivalry. We just need to see Manchester United’s career in the last twenty games, I think they’ve won 18. It’s a important and difficult rival. Betis is never alone, it has its infantry, almost 4,000 Betis. We are all going to support the team”.
Without a doubt, one of the statements that caught the most attention was when they asked him about Isco. “It is impossible for anyone to come at 99%. Isco? They are names that are there, logically he is a good player. He offers himself as more players offer, but being respectful of any player, I think we have a great squad and it is the group that it has brought us here”, he said. The man from Malaga has been without a team since he parted ways with Sevilla after his problems with Monchi.
Despite the fact that the former Real Madrid player had a closed agreement with Unión Berlin, the negotiation finally broke down at the last minute due to extra-sports issues. The midfielder is at a time when he doesn’t have any entity where he can play at a high level and, for the moment, he is taking some time off.
