He Real Betis comes from having one of the most complete games to date this season. It was precisely against Atlético de Madrid, a match in which Manuel Pellegrini’s team managed to win 1-0. However, the lack of aim meant that the score was not larger. In the 90 minutes of the match, the green and white team attempted it up to 24 times, a number that far exceeds the average number of shots this campaign.
The Betic player Assane He gave an interview in the club’s official media in which he told how they faced the league clashes against Osasuna and the Atlético de Madrid after the poor results in the Conference League. Let us remember that the green and white team has only added one point out of the possible six in continental competition. «I think it is important that when you receive a blow like those two, to be able to go to the next game and show your face as we have done in Osasuna and against Atlético de Madrid. That “It shows what a group there is and what we have in the locker room.”explains about it.
During the interview, the striker had an impact on the clash against Simeone’s team. A match in which the Betic team was very good both defensively and in attack. In fact, his own Pellegrini acknowledged in the press conference after the meeting that it had been the best first half he had seen from his players since he joined the entity five seasons ago. «Both the players and the fans are very happy with the match. We connected from minute one and that was noticeable during the 90 minutes. The work we did has merit, the team knew maintain the intensity and it was rewarded with the victory we won,” added the attacker.

A club that currently plays in the First Regional Extremaduran League and that comes to this match as first in the group. Although they are going to play against an opponent who in principle has a lower level, Assane insists that “You can never lower the piston because it can surprise you”. The striker believes that the motivation with which the Extremaduran team is going to arrive to play against a First Division team can be vital in the result. «In football motivation can do a lot, which is why I believe that the team has to play a 100% game and those who play, then press,” he says.
