Joel robles He has passed this Thursday through the club's media, where he has analyzed the bad memories that he left to everyone last season and vows to achieve better results in which he will start in just over two weeks. Joel knows he will have stiff competition because the Betis is going to sign another goalkeeper: “The minutes they give me I will contribute the most of myself”
Pellegrini looks for a goalkeeper and there will be more competition
“We have spoken, almost upon arrival. If a goalkeeper arrives or Dani leaves, I won't go in, they are club decisions, but personally I am very committed to this club. I am at your service, the minutes that you give me I will contribute the most of myself. The rest I can't control. When I hit the field I will go to death and I will not think of anything else.
The talk with the coach
“Yes, it is appreciated that the coach tells you things clearly, that he shows you his confidence at the beginning is important, but now I have to prove it on the field. Those who take off or put ourselves in the goal are us. I am positive, everything that is happening to me in the Betis… I am very happy here. What happened to me last season, certain moments were not good, but I work to the maximum day by day, I can be better or worse, but the commitment will not be lacking ”.
New season
“We are very excited about this new challenge this season, with the new coach, who is going to bring us many things. We are very excited, we are having good feelings. It is being an atypical preseason. It will be short, but we have to be prepared for the start of League on the 12th “.
The ideas that Pellegrini brings
“He has made clear what he wants from the team. We know that he is a coach who wants the ball, but with an important defensive balance. It is very important to be a complete team in attack and also in defense. When you get a lot of goals, we are the goalkeeper and the defenders, you have to assume it, but try not to make it happen again. You have to think positively and for sure everything will work out. The arrival of a new coach changes everyone's mentality a lot. We started from scratch, we have to compete to be in the starting eleven, and a change is always good for everyone ”.
The highlights of the new coach
“The serenity he shows, but he's very sincere. The message he sends is clear, he has no problems and it doesn't matter which player you are. And his philosophy of the game, he has given his four or five basic things, the change he wants is the most important thing. We are in a process. It goes faster than it should because the beginning is almost here. But for sure it will turn out well because we trust it ”.
Match by match
“Of course we want to win, of course, but we have to transmit it later on the field. The commitment cannot be absent, we all want to win, and more so here with a clear objective. But there are tough rivals. We have to think about ourselves, on each matchday, on day 12 to get the first three points, which is what will give us a lot in the game. Match by match is the way, there is no use wasting energy thinking about beyond. Focus on the 12th ”.
Hurt by what happened last year
“We are in a club that lives with a lot of passion and where defeats hurt a lot. We all want to win, we want the best for the club and achieve goals. Last year was painful and you don't enjoy your day to day the same. But we are clear that this year it will change with the new coach, the arrival of new teammates and with our desire to improve ”.
He left a clean sheet against Cádiz
“That is the mentality, it is very important. Teams gain confidence from a clean sheet. We have great defenders, an intense team, who have the ball … Those small mistakes will surely be corrected by the coach, I have confidence in everyone and this is a year to take a step forward ”.
Market stopped and with few signings
“We are what we are. Has arrived Montoya whom we already know. I was with him in the national team, Marc and Tello at Barça… We have a good squad. Now we just need to get into a good dynamic that makes the season a little easier. Let it be clear that no one is going to give us anything. We have rivals who want to achieve their goals and it won't be easy, but we have to look at ourselves, not make mistakes and trust ”.
