Adrian: Isco is a leader on and off the field, Betis is Anthony’s ideal home

Real Betis goalkeeper Adrian's career has been marked by various serendipities that have seen him guard Liverpool's gates at the iconic Anfield, and have also brought him back to the green and white club under Manuel Pellegrini, the Chilean coach who previously coached him at West Ham United. No one knows better than him that goalkeepers see football in a different light, dress differently and celebrate in their own way.

A few days ago, in a long interview with the "Andalucia Post", Adrian reviewed all these experiences, and also talked about some of his personal situations, as well as several heavyweights in the Betis team, such as Isco and Anthony. According to the Sevilla goalkeeper, the two players now wearing green and white jerseys are also the product of "a coincidence".

Q: Isco's joining and Anthony's return (he put pressure on and came to Betis from Manchester United again), are these coincidences?

Adrian said: "Yes. Indeed, the arrival of Isco is also crucial. The moment he came here was the time in his career when he needed to prove himself again from certain stages in the past, and he was very clear about it. He made the choice, the club also made the choice, and things went smoothly. He has proven and is still proving that every time he puts on the green and white jersey , He is a leader on and off the court."

"As for Anthony, he is another person who is attracted here, sees the atmosphere, understands the situation, experiences the daily life, and feels the care of the fans. At the end of the day, in our profession, everyone works for the salary and professional joy, but sometimes money cannot buy something, and Anthony knows that very well this summer. He has definitely received sky-high offers, but he only has one goal in mind: to return here, return to Betis, continue to enjoy his career, and at the same time make demands on himself. Because playing at this level every week, I think it will allow him to reach higher heights. Of course, it also includes entering the national team as soon as possible. After all, these are important goals and challenges. This is the ideal place for him."

"It is very rare for a player to do what he does. He is willing to wait and give up any offer, even if the financial conditions are very good, which speaks volumes about his quality as a player. I believe he will be a huge help to us this season.source:vn7
