The Betis attacker Juanmi wants a place in Manuel Pellegrini's plans next season after suffering a course full of physical difficulties as soon as he arrived in Heliópolis. In an interview with the official media, he reviewed some of the keys to this preseason and his intentions after the arrival of a new coach: “I have not had time to enjoy myself, to be able to show what I can give and that is what I want. I have that gift of goal, I am opportunistic. I'm hard-working and fast, with those qualities I can help the team. “
The attacker already coincided with Pellegrini in Malaga and will try to gain his trust from the new contact in the Marbella stage: “We met again after a long time, I was just beginning. The work he did is there, he is a great coach. Hopefully here I can do things well and have a great year. If the results do not accompany you, things change, but if he has that trajectory, it is that he does things well. “It was clear when assessing the Chilean's style of play:” He wants to have the ball, that it be a balanced team, that it does not split and that it has options to go out with the ball. An attractive team on the field that seeks victory and score goals. “

Juanmi tries to draw new challenges on an individual level and thus forget last season, in which he hardly had any options due to injuries: “I have my goals, but what I focus on is working, earning my job in eleven and hopefully we can grow together. I want to have continuity, to enjoy having minutes each week and from there to get as many goals as possible. I do not usually mark figures, but a scorer and a forward want to score. I'm looking forward to winning the position. “He wants the same challenge for the team:” I hope I have a good year and enjoy it. Maybe we didn't work as a team at all, we weren't regular. Hopefully together we can do things well again and have a great year, the team deserves it. “
