He Betis has been one of the most active clubs in recent years when it comes to recruiting emerging talent from Brazilone of the most important quarries in the world. The green and white club incorporated players with a profile of evolution in Europe such as Luiz Henrique, Abner and Johnny Cardosowhich have offered either good performance or interesting capital gains, which motivates the Heliópolis entity to reinforce its commitment to this market. Joao Gabriel Fersura, a promising winger who is in the process of adaptation, also arrived at the reserve team.

In this sense, Betis will continue looking for talent in Brazil and its technical secretary, Alvaro Ladrón de Guevarahas moved around this country and other nearby countries, strengthening ties and following specific players. In this way, the Betic manager intervened in the official presentation to the media of a collaboration agreement with the Novorizontino Guild of Sao Paulo. “The purpose of the visit was not only to learn about the structure of Tigre, but also to create proximity between the clubs for future business from grassroots to professional level,” the club itself stated.

At the signing of this agreement, a Real Betis myth was present: Luis Eduardo Schmidtknown as Ed. He now works as an agent in the company NG Soccer that he runs with fellow former soccer player Fabio Aurelio. Edu has always had a very close relationship with Betis and now sponsors this collaboration agreement that can lead to good performance for the Verdiblancos. Edu played 155 official matches as a Betic footballer between the 2004-05 and 2008-09 seasons, scoring 39 goals and giving nine assists. He was champion of the Copa del Rey and had a saving role with his double in Santander in the 2007-2008 campaign. Currently it specializes in young Brazilian talents who are joining Serie A or professional ranks.
