Joaquin: Fekir is a different player LaLiga Excited to see him in green and white

Joaquin Sanchez is always Real Betis' main man, but Nabil Fekir's arrival at the Estadio Benito Villamarin could change that, not that it's preventing the veteran from being excited to play alongside the new arrival.

Fekir will add a lot to Betis' squad, and his captain expects him to be an enjoyable watch.

"He's a different player," he said of the Frenchman in an interview with LaLiga World.

"You see it in his touches of the ball. He's technically excellent with important qualities.

"I hope we can enjoy him a lot."

Betis have always been an important part of Joaquin's life, as he has theirs.

"It's my life," he said when asked what the club meant to him.

"I've always been tied here since I first set foot in the door.

"Everything I've experienced has been through Betis."

Always the joker, Joaquin is as known for his character as his footballing ability.

"You have to be true to who you are," he said.

"Be yourself. I like to be happy and if people laugh; if you make them smile, they appreciate it.

"When I leave a pitch anywhere, people applaud and show me affection. It's difficult to take but it's the love that I've been able to find through my way of being and playing."
