"From Las Palmas yes, they called me too, but it was not the time. I was very happy here. When you are not playing things get difficult, but I am working to improve.
"I am always calm, I don't like controversies."
He also said of Betis coach Manuel Pellegrini: "I talk to him a lot because he is a coach who is like a father. Everyone plays for him.
"Like all players we have good and bad moments. I didn't start well, the players need to play to have confidence and now that I am playing the goals are coming naturally."
