Fabian: I hope to return to Betis one day and retire, and dream of participating in the World Cup with Spain

November 18th, at 3:45 a.m. tonight, in the sixth round of Group E of the European Group Stage of the World Cup, Spain will face Turkey at home. Before the game, Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Fabian Ruiz attended the press conference as a representative of the Spanish team.

■ Fabian Ruiz still maintains the record of "the team never loses as long as he plays". His current personal unbeaten streak reaches 40 games.

Fabian Ruiz said: "We all know that everyone is in good condition now. If we don't lose tomorrow, the team will reach 32 games unbeaten, and I personally will reach 41 games. I am happy for this record, which means a lot to the team and me personally. I hope the team and I can continue to maintain it."

■ Back to the current Betis home game

Fabian Ruiz said: "I am extremely happy to return to my hometown of Sevilla. I hope there will be many fans to support us tomorrow. We also want to lock in the World Cup qualification as soon as possible. I am very happy to see the Betis team logo often in this stadium. I do not shy away, I am Betis Fans, I also hope to come back here one day and end my career here, I just don’t know when it will happen.”

■On Betis and Pellegrini

“I try to watch every game and I’m still a member of the club and I’m happy for all the good things that happen to them. There have been good seasons, the team has many good players and the style of beautiful football is largely due to Pellegrini. He has brought a lot of joy to us Betis fans. It is not up to me to renew the contract, but I hope that he will continue to coach. "

■ He has no difficulty in adapting to the national team.

"It seems that no matter who is playing, we are performing very well. Spain keeps winning and maintaining style, which shows that it is very difficult to enter the national team. This also allows us to maintain higher competitiveness and force everyone to perform at their best."

■Failed to be shortlisted for the best player award Pick

"Individual awards don't depend on me, but on the people who vote. I will fight tooth and nail to get shortlisted, but being mentioned is a good thing, even if it doesn't get a vote in the end. I hope there will be more nominations in the future, just like last season."

■ What if he picks 23 people?

"It is very difficult for De La Fuente to select only 23 players from so many excellent Spanish players. Fortunately, our national team has a lot of talent, and many people who did not come are actually eligible for selection. The competition is very fierce, and I hope we will continue to prove that we are one of the best teams in the world."

■World Cup revenge?

"I'm really looking forward to playing here because my family and friends will be here. If you want to go to the World Cup, you have to win tomorrow. I hope De La Fuente can take me, that will be a dream come true. I didn't get to participate in the last one, and I hope it will be successful in 2026."

■What will change without Pedri?

"We still maintain the same ideas and style. Everyone knows Pedri's ability, he is incredible, and we are very lucky to have him. But he is absent due to injury now, and I think other players can also complete the task well. We have many good players."

■ Are you freer in the national team than in Paris?

"Whether it is Luis Enrique or De La Fuente, they have given me a lot of freedom. I feel equally comfortable on the court. It is a blessing to meet two coaches whose styles are so suitable for me."

■What do you think of the Turkish team?

"It will be a tough game against Turkey. They have a lot of good players and they will come to win. We have to focus, the victory tomorrow is very important."

■About Lakatoha Stadium.

"Every time we come to Seville, the fans give us full support. I invite everyone who has not yet bought a ticket to buy it as soon as possible. Tomorrow will be a big event and we hope that the stadium will be full."
