Many were surprised when in the summer of 2018 the Betis announced the hiring of Nabil Fekir. A player who a summer before was nowhere from being transferred by the Olympique Lyonnais to Liverpool in exchange for 60 million euros. The differences with the one who was then his agent and also with the powerful Jean-Michel Aulas, president of the French club, broke that operation. But it was exposed that everything was ruined by Fekir’s knee problems. The player, outraged, has struggled to tell his truth. And his football has shown that his articulation is not only perfect, but that his market value is back at that point. Now he plays everything with Betis, one of the animators of this LaLiga and visitor this afternoon of Wanda Metropolitano.
Fekir was called to lead Betis, but in his first season few things went well in a club that was wrong with the incorporation of Rubi. Manuel Pellegrini In the following two years he has shown how things have to be done so that Benito Villamarín enjoys a competitive team that looks to the upper zone. He did so in 2020-21 (sixth and fourth-finalist in the Cup) and in these days of 2021-22, already installed in the European zone. And the leader of the team is Fekir, who is considered a magician at Betis. He has participated directly (as an assistant, scoring) or indirectly (by unchecking, by a foul committed on him) in almost all Betic goals this season. Pellegrini is clear that he is indisputable and it is not in vain that he has lined up as a starter in all the matches of the course both in LaLiga Santander and in the Europa League.
Fekir and ten more, they say in Heliópolis when the line-ups are raised in this intense rotation that Pellegrini has marked. Under his command, 29 footballers have already acted, of which 26 have been starters. Heavyweights such as Bravo, Guido Rodríguez or Canales, but not so Fekir, who wants to play everything.
His presence before the athletic also activates another issue that does concern Betis. And is that Fekir has accumulated four yellow cards. He has actually been in this circumstance for a month, as he saw the fourth warning against Villarreal on October 3. The determining factor is that Betis’ next game will be the derby against Sevilla, one of the duels of the season. But Pellegrini trusts Fekir, in his experience and in his ability to control this situation, not in vain in the 2020-21 campaign he already experienced this situation. Noticed from the fourteenth day, he lasted 18 games without seeing the fifth yellow. Whatever happens, Pellegrini is clear: Fekir and ten more.
