Joan Jordán highlighted the work of the team to add another three points in the opening home match of 2022. "We knew that it would be very difficult because they were playing very well after having won at Madrid. It was the first home match of the year and we wanted to give joy and a little bit more. We competed when we had to compete and now we rest before continuing." The Catalan also spoke about the defensive solidity of the team, "When we have been our usual selves we have always kept and a clean sheet and won a lot." In this aspect, for us it is very important to be solid and that everybody defends and attacks. We know that then we have talented players and that we are going to score goals. We don't do things defensively we are more vulnerable but now we are fine. 

Of course, he recognised that sometimes discipline was lacking: "In the second half we lost a bit of clarity and I think that with a bit more patience we would have made it 2-0. Although they didn't cause us much damage and we were solid at the back." Also, he praised the fans "It seemed like the stadium was full. I wish that they could all be with us but in the moments that the team needs it they are always there. We have unique and special supporters and when they push us on in this way they are very important." And now to Betis: "We come into the game in good form. competing well and with a week ahead of us to recover and rest. We are playing many minutes and it will be good to have a clean week. It will be great but difficult and different to La Liga."

Rafa Mir also spoke, who began by referring to his goal as "important, nice and the best thing is that is led to the win. It was very important to get these three wins for confidence and to continue in the fight. The fans are always with us and supporting us. They don't know how important they are. The wins are what give us the energy to continue working and we have to continue." But it can not stop here. "We will celebrate today and relax and then from tomorrow, we are thinking about Beits. We will go there to show what team we are and to get the win." Lastly, he commented on the disallowed goals: "It is a shame that they have disallowed four or five goals. I have already said to the referee that it couldn't be but I continue helping my teammates and if I can, to score more goals."

Lastly, Montiel spoke: "We were able to win against a team that worked well, but we did well throughout the team and that's why we took all three points. In La Liga all the matches are very difficult, no one gives anything but we knew how to do our things. I train every day to keep developing and help the team. We have the week to prepare for the match and it's going to be a very tough opponent, but we'll work to get over and be as good as possible."
