Dani Ceballos has valued this Sunday from London the imminent derby that will face Sevilla FC and Real Betis at Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. The utrerano has reiterated that the team of his loves “is Betis”, has analyzed Lopetegui and Rubi and has harangued the Betis ensuring that “it is time to claim” and “go to Sevilla's house to win” .
“Accustomed to always playing with the public and facing your biggest rival without his people will be very different from what we know. The emotional aspect is going to do a lot in this derby, but I hope that when they put on the green-white they think that they will face a team that in recent years has hurt you a lot. It is time to vindicate yourself, to stand up for yours and to get that courage to say that Betis is back in Seville and wants to go to Sevilla's house to win, “said Dani Ceballos, in an interview with ' The Great Play ', by Canal Sur Radio.
“When you play a derby, the fans are a very important incentive to win the game. The other day I saw a statistic that said that visitors are now gaining more, but a derby is always special, with or without an audience. I think whoever scores the first goal will have a lot to gain. The two teams are going to arrive with almost no competition rhythm after being unemployed for three months and the one who scores first will have a lot of advantage, ”added Ceballos, who has practically not missed a Betis match since he left almost three years ago: “I have seen all the Betis games this year. When you have been in a club for so many years and it gives you the opportunity to be a professional it is no wonder, I have to always support you, wherever you are ”.
The utrerano, currently at Arsenal, on loan from Real Madrid, appreciated the moment of the verdiblancos: “Betis came in a good dynamic, it beat the leader and that gives you energy and positivity. Anyway, I think this break has been good for everyone, because the coaches have had a lot of time to think about new systems and ways to attack. I think the derby will be a very nice game to watch. “
Dani Ceballos returned to assure that Betis is the team of his loves – last summer there were rumors of a possible interest from Sevilla – and spoke of his departure to Real Madrid. “My team is Betis, the team of my loves, the one that has made me grow as a footballer and professionally. The feeling I have is different from the rest I have been through. I have never spoken about my departure. The ways in which I left … I leave a Betis that fights every year for the descent, it was never close to the European positions. An offer from Real Madrid arrives, it was a good time to take a step forward in my sports career and go to the best team in the world. Realistically, Betis now have a team to be in the top ten, they have internationals in every position, they have to fight year after year to be in Europe. In these last two years it is in that dynamic, “he explained.
“Rubi's Betis started regular, it was improving little by little, but it has always been against the clock, it has not been able to take that positive dynamic to be close to Europe. I think he still has a team for that and now he has the opportunity to win the derby and gain confidence to continue climbing positions. Sevilla have Lopetegui who is a great coach, I had him at Real Madrid and I know he has 23 players plugged in. It is a very compact team and, although sometimes they call it defensive and put the team behind when the score is favorable, as long as they keep adding up, everything is forgotten ”, Dani Ceballos said.
