Real Betis chairman, Juan Carlos Ollero, and Sports Director, Eduardo Macià, joined Joaquín during his presentation. Ollero highlighted the happiness that all Betis fans feel with the return of the player. “Today we are presenting someone who has always been Real Betis player, no matter where he was. Joaquín is coming home and he does it so as the best player we have found in Europe to play in that position. It’s what we expect from him, for him to be happy and make Betis people happy”, expressed Ollero.

Eduardo Macià analysed the huge impact that Joaquín’s arrival will have in the squad during the 2015-2016 season: “We have to thank ACF Fiorentina for understanding Joaquín’s desire. They understood that people have to make dreams come true. Joaquín never left Betis. He has not come back because he never left. He has been the best ambassador that Betis has had in Europe. Everywhere he went, Betis could be felt. Every time he went into a dressing room, people understood what Real Betis is. There’s nothing better that bring together body and soul, Real Betis being the body. The dream of Real Betis fans has come true”, stated.
