Angel Haropresident of Betishas attended the media this morning in the executive terminal of the Sao Paulo Airport of Seville, a few minutes before the green and white expedition sets course for Romewhere tomorrow he will face the team he leads Jose Mourinho on the third day of the group stage of the UEFA Europa League.
An exciting European trip
“Yes, it’s an important day in the group stage. It’s also an exciting match. In a setting like the Rome Olympics, with two great teams, two great coaches, dedicated fans… One of those nights European cities where everyone wants to be”.
To Italy as group leaders
“Yes, I think it’s important that we’re up there. It’s a match that may not be definitive, but it is decisive for the future of the group. A very important match”.
The importance of being first in the group
“Yes, apart from what it means to win, being first saves you a confrontation, a double game that coincides with you there in the middle of everything. I think it’s important not to have it”.
a magical night
“Practically any trip that Betis makes is a party, but in this case we are talking about a city that accompanies, a beautiful city, I think we are going to have almost 4,000 Betis supporting the team and we are going to experience something similar to what we live four years ago in Milan”.
The importance of winning the group
“Well, you never know. In football, sometimes the theory says that when you have a very busy schedule, being able to eliminate games is important, but you never know, it’s football, maybe in the end you don’t have that tie and you have another one and they eliminate you anyway It is difficult to predict, but a priori yes, the fewer games you have on such a tight schedule, the better”.
Satisfaction with the results
“We are very satisfied with the start of the season that we are having, it is exciting, the team is dedicated and committed. As for the Vigo game, I want to stay with the reaction we had, that with ten we had chances to win, we came in a bit weak, It cost us with an expulsion and playing ten against eleven is complicated, but the team was there”.
The atmosphere at the Olympic
“It seems fantastic to me, everything that is a great atmosphere and that the Betis enjoy seems fine to me. But I already said, it is not a definitive match, but it is important and I want us to bring victory”.
