Danish defender Riza Durmisi said here that he didn't hesitate "for even a second" when he received an offer to join Spanish football outfit Real Betis, a "great club, with a very grand culture and fans with so much passion".
The 22-year-old Durmisi on Friday said that he jumped at the opportunity when Betis sporting director Miguel Torrecilla telephoned him two weeks ago about a move from Brondby to the La Liga side, reports Efe.
"I know this is a great club, with supporters with a lot of passion, like those of Brondby. I like that type of atmosphere," Durmisi told reporters after signing a five-year contract with the Spanish club.
