Hefter Betancor is making headlines worldwide since last night. He scored the winning goal for Albacete, knocking the ‘Queen’ out of the Spanish Cup. His team won 3-2 against the Spanish giants…
This comes just days after Xabi Alonso’s departure, with interim coach Arbeloa starting off on a rough note.
At 32 years old, Betancor was loaned to Albacete by Olympiacos Piraeus last summer. His current team plays in the Segunda Division and is sitting in 17th place.
The Iberian footballer has been in high demand for interviews since last night. In one chat, he shared that nine years ago, he almost quit football. He took a break for six months. “I played football with my friends during this time, working as an electrician.”
He got support from a psychologist and his family, which helped him stay in football.
For six months, he played on Cypriot fields. He was with Pafos FC from the summer of 2023 until January 2024.
Last summer, AEL’s technical staff showed interest in him. He got an offer but turned it down.
