Juankar on MCFTV: “It’s an Andalucían derby, a special match”

Málaga - Betis will be a special match for Juankar Pérez. The Madrid-born player was part of the Sevilla team’s youth ranks during 2012/13 and 2013/14, however he didn’t coincide with current ‘Malaguista’ and former Betis player, Roque Santa Cruz.

Statements: Juankar - MCFTV

MCF - Betis

“It’s a good game, an Andalucían derby, but for me it’ll be special as I was at Betis for two years.  It’ll be an important match for me on Saturday.  I had a good year there, when we qualified for Europe, but in the second year, we were relegated so it was difficult for all of us.”

Santa Cruz and Juankar – ex Betis players

“Roque and I think the same about Betis and the city.  We had a great time and were liked by the fans.  We only have good memories.”

Good personal moment

“I’ve adapted quickly to the team, everyone here made it very easy.  I’m extremely pleased here and hope to be here for a long time.  If you’re happy outside of the sporting arena, then you’ll always be happy inside.”
