Isco: I want to stay in good shape and retain the chance to go to the World Cup. Betis and I both hope to renew our contract

Betis player Isco and his wife attended the press conference of the documentary "In Silence" at the Seville Film Festival on Thursday. He talks about filming, recovering from injury, the upcoming derby and his contract extension with Betis.

Isco, how was this filming experience for you?

"It was a very good experience for me. I decided that she would tell the story because we lived together and she had access to things that no one else had access to. Because I trusted her enough to say 'yes' or 'no' to her, and that's demonstrated in the film. She was always there. Supporting me in good times and bad."

What message does this documentary want to convey to the audience?

"The message we are trying to convey is that many times you work hard and you pay, but things don't go as you wanted or as you planned. That's our idea, trying to bring inspiration to those who are going through difficulties. You have to look forward, persevere, and see how to face life."

Will the Derby be a new beginning?

"It's too early to say. I'm still focused on recovering from injury, but we don't rule out the possibility of a second installment. Hopefully everything goes well and we have a story to tell. It would be a wonderful story to win a title with Betis."

When will you return?

"You all know what Girona means to our city and to our fans. This is an important moment. We still have time to continue to adjust and work on the other side. There are still two weeks to keep up with our teammates and face that derby with an all-out, winning attitude and bring joy to our fans."

About Isco's contract extension

"Now it's her turn Pick up the camera and make another film... But no joke, the renewal is on the table and it will be easy because Betis and I both want to extend our path together. I want to play in the new stadium and see if they can reach an agreement soon, otherwise I will not be able to play there. "

Have you overcome the fear of injuries?

"Fear doesn't go away. Just because of past experiences and history. Just today, during my second training session, I got hit again and I freaked out. Luckily, nothing happened. It's about living with that fear and treating it like a Adapt like everything. When you get injured, when you have to start from scratch... it's another lesson. As for the World Cup, my job is to work hard and be ready if the opportunity arises, to reach the level I should be."

Will he retire at Betis?

"I want to live in the moment. I think something very special has been created between Betis and myself, for which I will always be grateful. When you are not going through your best moments and they make a bet for you, it stays in your heart. I try to repay that by giving everything I have on the pitch. . We have a wonderful relationship and I, for my part, will try to extend it. I am taking care of myself like never before to try to play in the new stadium. It will always be an important and wonderful challenge for us to live together for many years.”
