Real Betis coach Rubi insists he is not thinking about walking away.

A derby defeat to Sevilla last week was followed up by yesterday's draw with Granada.

Under pressure Rubi, however, says: "I feel strong and want to continue working. I came to reach nice heights and it is costing us a lot this year.

"We have to grit our teeth and continue, it is a difficult season for everyone because we want to do better.

"I think the team was very close to victory and now we will look for it in the next round."

He added: "Missing the public is a shame because we are the ones who have an advantage with our public, hopefully that will change quickly."
