Giovani Lo Celso has fallen on his feet in the Real Betis and in his fourth game – third as a starter – he scored his fourth goal, which equals what he scored in the last two campaigns in the Premier and LaLiga with Tottenham and Villarreal (two goals in 22 games with each).
The Argentine, who was once again the MVP of the match, was hurt by the tie: “To be protagonists, we have to look for three points on all fields. That’s why we leave with a bitter taste because we wanted to win. We tried until the end against a team in need that plays good football. We tried, we had chances and it wasn’t possible,” Lo Celso pointed out.
The Argentine valued that they “found themselves with an early goal. Then we had chances that didn’t go in. “We tied at the right time, in the second half we had chances to win.”
Questioned about the lack of wins in the last two league matches, against Mallorca and Las Palmas, the Argentine indicated that “we are lacking that amount of luck in the last third to convert. Today the Bakambu suit, the other day the Abde… These are details. I’ll take the effort, it’s time to turn the page because on Sunday we have another important game against our people.”
Regarding his goal and the assist from Assane Diao, he commented that “for a striker to touch it in that phase of the area is difficult, but he had the calmness to give it to me. The goal is his. I appreciate the effort, although we wanted to win. On Sunday we need to win to continue up”.
