Betis take on Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium tomorrow and Rangel says that it will provide the perfect test for their Premier League debut which is now little over a week away.<\/p>\n
Rangel – who scored the first goal in Wednesday's 2-0 win over Celtic – told the Western Mail “They are a team I have always liked. <\/p>\n
“Historically they are a good club and try to play football in the same way as us.<\/p>\n
“It will be another step up from the Celtic match, but every game is getting harder and that’s what we need to be ready for Manchester City.<\/p>\n
“They were champions of Segunda last season and played some lovely football and scored a lot of goals.<\/p>\n
“Last season they beat Barcelona in the cup and played some good football in that game. It will be a very good test for us.<\/p>\n
“He is a very good goalscorer and definitely a player we will have to keep quiet.<\/p>\n
“The most important thing for us is to keep our fitness levels high and improve with every game.<\/p>\n
“I still like to watch as much Spanish football as I can, even the Segunda, because I like to see what teams are doing well back home. So I know a few of their key players.<\/p>\n
“I was very pleased to get the goal against Celtic and, more importantly, the right result.<\/p>\n
“We need to work hard and get fitness levels up ready for the first game of the season.<\/p>\n
“In the first half they did very well at keeping the ball, but in the second half we had a lot more possession.<\/p>\n
“With the way we play we want to make things difficult for other teams.<\/p>\n
“I know it is going to be very difficult, but we have to make sure we take maximum points in our home games.<\/p>\n
“Away from home it is tough because we are talking about the most competitive league in the world.<\/p>\n
“David Silva and Ashley Young are among the best wingers around so we have to be respectful but believe in ourselves. It’s a great motivation to play against the best players but we will keep our feet on the floor.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
