Ez Abde for football, Abdessamad (“Servant of the Most High”) Ezzalzouli in his Moroccan birthplace of Beni Mellal and in his denei as a Spanish citizen, was only six years ago a youth with no aspirations of becoming a professional in his neighborhood team, the Carrús de Elche (postal code 03206), which in statistics appears as the one with the lowest gross income in Spain, a euphemism that masks what it is, the poorest. Today, fifty percent green-and-white, the same as Barça, is the offensive support of a Real Betis plagued by injuries to its most creative players. Nobody has given him anything, he has earned everything by hand. Curiously, one of his life mottos has red-and-white reminiscences: “He never gives up.” The rivals already know it. Manuel Pellegrini, after a Guadianesque campaign in the Betis first team, had a conversation with the winger in the preseason. The Chilean molds good football clay like few others and in the face of the opinion of some who advocated the departure of the Moroccan due to his irregularity, he remained firm in his commitment to him. If I wanted to. “It’s up to you to accept the aspects in which you must mature,” he came to tell him. It entered Abde through one ear and did not come out through the other, it was recorded in his mind and he believes that this season the evolution of his maturity is being seen. With some outbreak of adolescent recklessness, like the one against Español, which cost him a reprimand from the coach, when he took a penalty that was Lo Celso’s responsibility. It is often said that no one is essential in life and that cemeteries are full of those who are considered as such, but the truth is that there are in football. With his ability to overflow, his speed and his defensive sacrifice, Abde has that consideration today. Like Isco was or Lo Celso has been. While waiting for Vitor Roque or Jesús Rodriguez to gel, the weight of the green and white attack is supported by his back. His discoverer, Javier Portillo, now a coach at Rayo, defines it precisely: “He’s not going to score 20 goals, but he’s going to generate chances like few others in Spanish football.” It is up to others to take advantage of it.
