Marc bartra came like a star to Betis 3 1/2 years ago and the 20/21 season ended as one of the worst years of his career. In fact, in terms of number of matches, it was, since The Catalan center-back only played 19 games, while in his first half year at Villamarín he played 16 games. A year later he played 46 and in 19/20, 33.
Of course, Bartra's bad season has an explanation. Or, rather, two: his complicated Achilles tendon injury and gallbladder problems that kept him off the lawn for more than three months. However, the performance of the canterano culé had already been declining previously, something that he himself recognized.
Now, with the physical problems overcome and with the possibility of doing a regular preseason, Bartra is faced with the challenge of recovering his best version. And at Betis, of course, they are still waiting for the resurgence of those who arrived as a star.
