“I understand the fans’ frustration”

Adrian San Miguel reappears on Saturday defending Real Betis’ goal in a Liga match almost twelve years after doing so for the last time, as the previous occasion was in May 2013 against Zaragoza, also at Benito Villamarín. After the departure of Rui Silva and the cup win agreed at Montjuïc against Barcelona (5-1), Manuel Pellegrini decided to give him ownership in LaLiga Adrian San Miguel -which until now has only played in the Conference- at the expense of Fran Vieites in a 1-3 loss against Alavés that caused a crisis.

“My goal from the moment I arrived at the club was to help, to contribute, to show that experience inside the locker room as well as on the field when I was given the opportunity. And well, the coach is giving me the opportunity to that. so far in Europe and last Saturday in the League,” he commented Adrián in an interview with Canal Sur Radio.

Adrian reviewed the bad moment that Betis is experiencing and the criticism from the fans: “I am the first to understand that disappointment, the disappointment of the fans with these bad results. It is true that we are not at any time asking for anything, because we are which has to contribute more than what is being contributed, but that union necessarily sends that that union must return, because in the end it doesn’t help anyone.”

The goal of Betic spoke about his experience at Liverpoolwhere he experienced great successes and also faced difficult times: “It’s a very big club, but it’s a very competitive club. lost one; yes We remember when we won the Premier League, last season it was a point that the distance we are in this growth process obviously involves moments of decline and those moments of decline are perhaps the reason why you step forward and help you. And Jurgen always says it, we can’t live from the past or last year we were just one point away from winning the Premier. No one will assure you that this year we will fight for it, you have to live in the present. And maybe at that moment we are also in Betis. Looking at it from afar in the eleven years I’ve been away, Betis has grown a lot, but you can’t live, obviously, from the past. We are also going crazy, sorry to the fans and because of that discomfort, but we are the first to want to change all this.

Betis is one of those teams he misses more scoring chances and his center forward is Vitor Roque, who has already had some: “You have to give him peace of mind. The forward clearly lives in goals, but at his age he has shown that he has many qualities. It is true that the last chances he has is he has. a little late in defining or lingering or ultimately not defining with the certainty a striker needs, but here we are, We don’t just rely on Vitor Roque. “You have to take a little pressure off him too, let him flow, let him trust himself.”
