“It took many months of suffering to feel like a football player again.”

Dani Perez He returned to play for the first team Betis after a serious injury. In October 2023, the youth team player suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and had to undergo surgery. An unforeseen event that kept the green and white off the field for most of last season.

Manuel Pellegrini He trusted him again in the match against Legia.. A match in which the white-green team was very tightly positioned in front of the goal and did not find their best option: “It was difficult to give the last pass because there were so many players crowded inside. “We shot very little on goal, so it’s difficult to score a goal.” However, he tried to find the positive side: “There is still a lot left and This should be a turning point for the team.. There is still a lot of competition and we can qualify,” explained Dani Perez to club media. Betis still have five games ahead to qualify for the next stage. Actually, three of them will be held at the Benito Villamarin stadium. This can be considered a plus as the best results in this campaign are achieved when playing at home.

Although his return was not as expected due to the team’s results, the midfielder is very happy with his return. The player spoke to the club media after the match and recalled the difficult times he had to endure: “A lot of time has passed, many months of suffering to feel like a football player again in a match like this, and that’s why I’m very happy, although the result makes the taste bitter. “We must continue.”

Now it’s time to put what happened in Warsaw behind us and focus on the derby this Sunday. “We need to change and think about the derby, one of the most important games of the season.. “We have to think about this game now and not think about what happened anymore,” the youth team concluded.
