- "No goddamn chance to talk to Mourinho".
Fran García has made a huge impression in these first days as a Real Betis player, bringing verticality and speed to the left wing in the friendlies in which he took part and in which he shone with his own light, especially in the last match against Olympique Lyon, which ended with a heavy 4-0 victory. The left-handed player gave an interview to La Pizarra de Quintana, exclusively, to analyze his first days in bético. "I'm very happy to have arrived here. It's an interesting project. I was really struck by the closeness, the group that's there, the people who are around the team. It's something incredible and it makes you very happy", declared Fran García, who also explained how he made his move to Betis: "I already knew Manu (Fajardo) from my time at Rayo, on a few occasions he got in touch with us and yes it's true that now, given the situation in the left side of the team Real Madrid, we saw with good eyes a possible exit. We already knew of their interest in previous markets and I think it is a very good decision, especially given the growth that Betis has had in recent years and the very interesting project they have." Fran García did not have the opportunity to speak to José Mourinho, but he had clear ideas about the fact that, with the arrival of Cucurella and with four left backs in the squad, the situation would have been very complicated for him: "In Madrid I realized my dream. From Canterano being able to play so many games in the first team, to have trophies... Given that the situation was true that we were four side players and for me football is pure fun, it is being able to compete, and what better way to do it than coming to Betis to be able to do it achieve there. The opportunity to speak with Mourinho did not arise. I was on holiday and had no contact of any kind." Fran García had other offers, especially from abroad: "I had options to go abroad, but my first option was to come here. I continued to stay in Spain, which for me is important to have my people close to me, was a priority, and Manu was in contact with me at all times. I knew that they would make a serious bet on me. It is true that I had things outside that attracted me, but at all times I was frank with Manu (Fajardo) and told him that if they did that effort I would have done too. I am enormously grateful to him for his trust." On the left wing he will coincide with Ez Abde: "I am very lucky to have been able to share with players of their calibre. My purpose and my objective on a personal level is to bring out my best version at all times so that both on an individual and collective level I can bring the best. With Abde now we are sharing less because he is finishing recovering from his injury, and instead now I am sharing more with Riquelme. And from each position it doesn't matter who it is, we all have to give our best. There is an incredible group."
What happens now
With his enthusiasm and good initial impressions, Fran García is expected to continue integrating into the Real Betis group. His previous experience and connection with other players could facilitate his adaptability as the club prepares to face the challenges of the season and aim for ambitious goals in football.
