Movistar +.
Regarding the goal play, in which he had time to think about how to beat the rival goalkeeper, he admitted that “those are the worst, when you have so much time to think. I saw that the goalkeeper was bailing me out and I decided to make the dive, which the defender also touched. A striker lives for goals and this is going to give me confidence«. In this sense, he admits to feeling »very happy. I have always said it, the love I have received here is something that I try to give back to people with work and goals«. Of course, before they found the net, the game could have been complicated for Betis as Celje almost scored the second goal. »In football everything is very competitive. They have had a couple of chances when they have scored, but the team has rebuilt itself a bit,” considered the man from Malaga, who commented on the team’s general performance that “we are at a level that, If you lower the intensity a little, any equipment will hurt you. You have to compete one hundred percent because no rival makes it easy.”

That first aside has cost us, it is true that they have not created a single opportunity for us and we have had some. In the second you go with that adjusted score. You get ahead and, when you don’t expect it, they score 1-1. We tried as best we could and I think winning was the fairest thing. I am left with the fact that, without being completely fine, we have won«. He also went through a mixed zone Adrian San Miguelwho understood the final whistle of the green and white fans: «I understand the frustration of the fans. It is demanding and so are we..

We have to give it a spin, we all have to go up a little more. Even without playing our best game, we took the three points.”
