Giovanni Lo Celsusplayer of the Real Betisspoke about different issues in the run-up to the duel against Mlada Boleslav corresponding to the fourth day of the Conference League. The Argentine was questioned about Isco’s return, which will occur in a few weeks. «I’m happy to see him training with the team. Obviously as a teammate you get happy when you see someone else happy. Having a player from his hierarchy in the group dynamic is something nice. As the coach said, we still don’t know the deadlines, hopefully it will be as soon as possible because we know the quality of player he is and what he can contribute to us. Happy to have him with the team and step by step that the team is waiting for him with open arms,” he stated.
«As the coach says, good players understand each other on the field. It is a phrase that goes well for football. Seeing a player of his hierarchy within the team is something beautiful. We’ll see something later. We must focus on the objectives we have. They are not easy. Tough games are coming. I went from facing Isco several times to having him as a teammate and it is something very nice to have players of his hierarchy in the team,” the Argentine continued.
Regarding his physical condition, Lo Celso pointed out that “I feel good. Luckily I’m recovered now. The last FIFA break of the year has passed and I am happy to be here. We know that we have a very important game for what is coming. We have to win and the objective between now and the end of the year is to add game by game and we’ll see what we’re up to. Obviously it won’t be easy. You have to be aware that it will be difficult. Already in the team dynamic I feel good. I’m focused on what tomorrow’s game will be like. In Europe there is no easy game. You have to be fully focused to come back with the three points, which is the goal. VI left with an injury from the national team but I recovered well. The deadlines were what we imagined. If you give me the choice, I would have liked to have beaten Celta and tied. There were many trips and games in a short time and we turned the page. “I’m happy to be in the team dynamic.”
Lo Celso has been playing a little further back due to the problems in the midfield and the Argentine stated that “anyone where he has to play will give his best. I feel comfortable playing in any position as long as it is best for the team. In my career I have played more up or down and I have no problem playing where I have to.”
«Whatever competition it is, it is important. The demands are increasingly higher and the club is growing, welcome. It is a beautiful competition played by great teams and obviously with high demands. The last home game was not what we expected but we won. It was a very nice relief at the end and against Mlada with everything we have on us we know what game it is going to be. The last one away in Europe was a learning experience for us, that everyone gives a plus to try to win. We must go out with maximum concentration and try to win the points,” he continued.
And about his stay at Betis, Lo Celso was firm: «I feel very happy. I always enjoy every day. I am in the place I want. Very grateful to my teammates, coaching staff and fans for how they welcomed me from day one and for trying to return that trust on the field. The club is in constant growth and that was largely done and continues to be done by the coach with several years in a row in Europe. It is the 100th match in Europe and most of them were in recent years. Things are being done well from above and we have to help it continue to grow. Several years passed and everything I noticed was for the better. The demand is high and that is important for a player.”
