He told Marca: "Many things have happened to me to be able to get here. They love Chimy Avila for being sincere and not for lying, I prefer to be hated for being sincere than for being a liar.
"I had many things on the table and with Osasuna we believed that it was time to separate our paths because it was good for both of us.

I thank the other clubs for their interest and I did whatever was necessary to go to Betis."
He added: Maybe I ask the fans (to give me support) because I know they can give me something. It gives me an energy that sometimes I can't stop, that's why the cards come On the one hand I am calm because I have made a change in my life and in sports, change of mobile number, name on the shirt backwards."
