One of the most positive news that Betis de Almendralejo brought out, beyond the resounding cup win against Gévora (1-6), was that of allowing two new youth players to defend the first team’s shirt in an official match. Were Jesus Rodriguez and Guiraofootballers from Betis Deportivo, who put in a good performance at the Francisco de la Hera despite the fact that the rival was clearly inferior.
In fact, the Alcalá winger was in charge of attending Vitor Roque in the fifth green and white goal, and Guirao showed solidity in the midfield core during the minutes that Pellegrini gave him. Jesús Rodríguez left incursions and dribbles that at times recalled the legend Joaquin Sanchez.
Both he and Guirao were congratulated by their teammates after replacing Assane Diao and Mateo Floresalso young people from the Heliopolitan factory, who unlike the first ones were part of the starting team. Precisely Assane clarified that “these types of matches are important for those of us who are not having many minutes, but we focus on the victory, which is what is important. Happy to contribute with a goal, but I want more. I hope to continue like this in LaLiga,” he indicated.
For his part, Mateo Flores left his mark in the team’s play generation zone, with a great presence alongside Altimira and connecting excellent passes with the green and white attackers.
They are already 15 Betis youth players who have debuted under the orders of Manuel Pellegrini. Calderón, Rodri, Fran Delgado, Kike Hermoso, Akoukou, Sorroche, Pablo Busto, Félix Garreta, Dani Pérez, Fran Vieites, Visus and Juan Cruz did it previously.
