Real Betis defender Miranda happy for Gavi: My little brother at Barcelona | OneFootball

Real Betis defender Juan Miranda says he's feeling settled in Seville.

Miranda signed permanently with Betis from Barcelona and faces his old club this weekend.

He told Mundo Deportivo: "I'm already more settled after last year's loan. The first season is different because I had been in the academy but never in the first team. The team is very good, winning, forming a team both on and off the field. And it shows because afterwards it moves onto the field.

"We have entered Europe and that demands more of you. We have a good and deep squad and the coach is rotating. We are all at a great level. And collectively it shows."

On former Barca teammate Gavi, Miranda continued: "He was like my little brother. He came in two years after I was there. He was from Seville, with a Betico past, so I was very aware of him. I spoke with him in the national team, because we coincide in Las Rozas. He is enjoying himself and he still does not believe it. I'm happy for him because he's a 10 as a player and as a person."
