Benat: Betis match ‘very special’

Benat Etxebarria has admitted that Athletic Bilbao’s game against Real Betis will be ‘very special’.

Los Leones face the Verdiblancos on Thursday, and the attacker, who moved to Bilbao from the Seville outfit in the summer, has conceded it will be a great occasion for him personally.

“Playing against a former team is going to make the game special for me,” he told terra.

“Betis gave me the opportunity to make a name for myself in the League, and for that I am extremely grateful.

“Will I celebrate a goal? No I will not.

“Physically I feel great and I’m happy with how things are going this season.

“We have started well but we’re all aware that the League is very long. The fans still have the memory of the two finals that we played two seasons ago, and the good football that we played under Bielsa.

“But we are stepping up our performances, with everyone moving in the same direction.”
