Rafa Mir was one of the clear protagonists of Sevilla-Elche with which the Four Day of LaLiga Ea Sports opened. The Murcian striker scored the one who momentarily was the 1-2 direct foul and celebrated with euphoria and anger the goal even pointing his name to the stands of the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. Mir, who is ceded in Elche by Sevilla, angered the local fans, although after the match he said he respects the nervous club.

«It is a new celebration that was doing these games, it is nothing special or any way of anything. Happy to continue adding and returning confidence to this team. This is the line and we go with a point that you have to do good next week, ”he told Dazn to later recognize that it is not the first time he is whistled in Nervión since” I had once been pidded here. ” «I have a huge love and respect for this hobby that is not going to celebrate a goal. Only now defending another shirt and that is what it touches, ”he said.

«I want to always mark. Yes, it is true that today was a special day, a return home in which I have been able to live many things, to make goals, win a Europa League … I have a very big affection for this hobby, but now I defend this shirt and do it to death, ”he also commented by subtracting importance as much as he catalogs it as” one more goal. ” «For me it is important to mark and return confidence also having respect for a team from which I come and I am ceded. Esroy very happy to have been able to return and play. The last time here was not easy and a bit joins. The celebrations must be made, it is difficult to make a goal and you have to do them, ”he added in words to Movistar LaLiga.

Rafa Mir adds three goals in four games with Elche and considers that the key to having reached this performance is “trust and minutes”, something that suggests that he lacked in Sevilla. «I didn’t have that luck of being able to have. The first year I was at a high level, in the second not so much and in the third it was as it was for someone who is no longer here. You have to take it naturally. Super grateful to Sevilla and also Elche for this opportunity, ”he concluded.
