miguel, thanks for joining us.
Miguel Ángel Nadal: It’s a pleasure to be here.Always good to talk about Betis!
It’s been a tough stretch for Betis without Roca. Any thoughts on how his absence has affected the team?
Miguel Ángel Nadal: Undoubtedly, Roca’s absence has been a big blow for Betis. He’s a fantastic player, technically gifted, tactically astute, and an crucial cog in Pellegrini’s midfield system. They’ve missed his vision, his passing range, and his ability to control the tempo of the game.While players like Altimira and Mateo have stepped up, they can’t quite replicate what Roca brings to the table.
The news about the stem cell treatment is encouraging. What are your thoughts on this innovative approach to injury recovery?
Miguel Ángel Nadal: It’s certainly exciting to see clubs embracing these new technologies. Stem cell therapy is showing promise in accelerating healing and tissue regeneration. Hopefully, it allows Roca to make a full recovery and return to his best.
Pellegrini expressed hope that Roca would be back in training after the Christmas break. How important is his return for betis’s aspirations this season?
Miguel Ángel Nadal: Crucial. Betis are still in the hunt for European qualification, and Roca’s return would be a massive boost. He adds a level of composure and experience that’s invaluable in those tight games. His presence would definitely make Betis a more formidable opponent.
Do you think Roca can seamlessly slot back into the starting lineup, or will it take him some time to regain his match sharpness?
Miguel Ángel Nadal: It’s always tough to say after a long layoff. He’ll need time to regain full fitness and match sharpness. Pellegrini is a smart manager, though, and I’m sure he’ll manage Roca’s reintegration carefully. It might be gradual, starting with short appearances off the bench, before he reclaims his starting spot.
Thanks for your insights,Miguel.
Miguel Ángel Nadal: My pleasure. I’m excited to see Roca back on the pitch and contributing to Betis’s campaign. It’ll be a great sigh of relief for the fans and a important boost for the team.
