He Cucho Hernandez He is the top scorer of the Real Betis in the League, with five goals – the same ones he achieved in the second round of last season -, four from Antony and three from Abde, with whom he forms a high-level offensive trident in the green and white team, which will soon recover Isco, who was the team’s top scorer last season, with nine goals, to eight from Lo Celso.
The Colombian, who underwent surgery on his nasal conchae ten days ago, which is why he has not been with his national team during this break, is already training without a protective mask and will have no problems playing on Sunday against Girona. “I came with some discomfort and now I feel quite good, quite fresh and almost recovered from the operation. It was mild. Obviously you take precautions so that there are no problems in the future, but I think a week of rest was enough.”
Cucho, in an interview with RTV Betis, highlights that “it is very difficult not to be happy here”, because Betis “is a special club” and that “when you are here you feel what this club is”. “It is true that personally I would like to score a little more goals, but I think that apart from that I have been able to contribute many more things to the team – comments the Colombian striker -. Many things that perhaps are not seen, but that, with a simple break in space or with a movement, you open the way for your teammates so that they can score goals. I consider myself a ‘9’ who helps, I don’t only think about myself. If the reward of the goal always comes, I welcome it, but I don’t stress much about it. I focus on Do the job well and try to get what you have, put them in.”

Regarding whether the team is motivated to do something important in Europe or in the Copa del Rey, even by reaching the Champions League, he said the following: “I think it is something that the team has within it, but it is something that we do not talk about much. It is something that the entire team has in mind and knows that it can be achieved. We work every day, we go out to play each game as if it were the last, because we know that competing the way we compete, working together with the quality we have, with the team we have, it is very difficult for this Betis to lose. and we have shown it so far. As long as the team is together, knows what it can achieve and works with humility, I believe something important can be achieved this season. And that is the idea.
