Real Betis midfielder Fornals: Big difference between LaLiga and Premier League

Real Betis midfielder Pablo Fornals admits there's a huge difference between the LaLiga and the Premier League.

Fornals left West Ham for Betis in January.

He told AS: “Yes, there is a lot of difference. In Spain we prioritise the ball, reaching the rival area playing beautiful football. There, when the centre-back recovers the ball, the fans ask you to send the ball up and attack. Recover and attack again.

"It worked for West Ham, maybe that way of playing doesn't appeal to people here. We say that if Bordalás' Getafe... It's what they ask of you, it's a way to win games."

On West Ham, Fornals said: “You adapt, it was different, I had a playmaker role. It wasn't that fast. I have enjoyed it a lot, I have even played there as a left winger and that makes you learn and enjoy."
