Joaquin is the idol of beticismo. He is the captain of the team, he feels the colors to the core and has managed to put the team of his life into the King’s Cup Final. Angel Haropresident of the club, attended Movistar + to talk about the situation of the team and the possible continuity of Joaquín in the group Pellegrini.
Joaquin’s continuity
to their 40 years, Joaquín is still important at Betis. It is true that he is not a starter in every game but he still has a remarkable role as a revulsive. This season he has played 22 matches in which he accumulates 773 minutes. The Andalusian disputes about 35 minutes per game.
Haro spoke of the joaquin makeover, which seemed discarded a few months ago. However, he leaves the option of continuing at Betis in the hands of the player himself: “With him there is an absolute harmony and a constant dialogue. When the season is over, we will sit down and, in a minute, we will reach an agreement. If he wants to continue, he will continue. He is very Betic and, if he sees himself strong and eager, let him say so“.
Joaquin was one of the surprises in the eleven of Betis against Atléticoreplacing the sanctioned Sergio Canales and thus obtaining the award for his great performance in the final minutes of the Cup semifinal against Rayo Vallecano. After coming out with the 0-1 against, he leaked a tremendous pass into space for Canales that would end with Borja Iglesias’ goal to seal the pass to the final.
The final stretch of the season
The president also spoke about the situation of the team: Cup finalist, fifth in LaLiga with 46 points and in the round of 16 of the Europa League after beating Zenit. A final stretch of the season more than moved. “We must park the joy of being Cup finalists for a month and a half. It’s time to focus on the two competitions with immediate challenges: get the maximum points to stay up in LaLiga and, on Wednesday, beat Eintracht in the Europa League”, declared the president.
For this, he considers it key that Pellegrini continues to trust all his players: “He must continue giving opportunities to the whole team. That’s the key, the team. The one who goes out, does it well“, he concluded.
