We have come to conclusions about the game and are now full of energy, passion and dreams for this game. The most important thing is that this Saturday at 5pm, the players bring their best skills and qualities to the game, they have those skills and I look forward to seeing them”.
He continued on this theme. “I like to see the team always has the desire to get up and go on and they do it with all their heart. We need to concentrate on our game and give one hundred percent. I believe this will be a great game for the fans”.
“In 90 minutes, we will show we have options to win the three points”, continued Juan Carlos Mandía, who also added that, “We will go on holiday with a triumph against Betis this will give us all a smile this christmas”.
