Marc Bartra: “Luis Enrique keeps us all motivated”

Marc Bartra has been training for a few weeks with Betis, after three months off due to tendon problems and, at the same time, in the gallbladder. The Catalan defender wants to return to the pitch as soon as possible and stated on Radio Sevilla that he feels “more than ready” to play. “I'm more than prepared, I've been training everything with the team for weeks, feeling good. In the elite there is nothing easy, the coach does not marry anyone and relies on what he sees in training. That is what I focus on, to be at the highest possible level and to see that I'm in a good moment and that I can help the team whenever I need it. “

“The heel is what made me spend more time out, it was an injury that long ago had discomfort but controlled them very well. I like to work a lot and take care of myself and suddenly it got out of control until in several games it went to more and there came a time that I could not continue to help the team, “added Bartra.

“If the colic hadn't happened, the injury would surely have been a little less time, but that made me lose a week of recovery. The most important thing is that I have both one thing and the other under control, and I am very grateful to the doctors and physios who are helping me, “said the central defender.

Bartra only thinks about the present: “I hope the team can reach the positions for which we are fighting. We all look at each other and we know what happens through Elche, we are going to win it and so on one after another.” Finally, he would like to return to the National Team: “First you have to see what I do at Betis, but it is true that Luis Enrique does not marry anyone, he calls people according to their performance and thus has us all motivated “.
