Mark Bartra had to get out of Real Betis Balompie last summer, practically against his will since he wanted to stay longer in the Verdiblanco team and under the orders of Manuel Pellegrini. The Catalan soccer player was a key player in the Chilean coach’s scheme, he was the leader of the defense and one of the strong men in the locker room, unfortunately the club’s financial problems made him pack his bags.
In an interview given to the daily ACE, the Catalan footballer has acknowledged that under no circumstances did he think of leaving Betis last summer, in fact, he was sure to continue much longer at the club, however, the board personally asked him to accept the offer from Turkish Trabzonspor since that way they could alleviate the economic crisis that they were facing, they could not register players or sign more reinforcements. Bartra had to accept for the good of the club and ended up leaving for the Ottoman team, yes, at no time did he want to leave since he was very comfortable and happy at the club.
