Fekir signs up for ‘everything’

Betis looks squarely at its duels against Real Sociedad and Elche in the League. They are his appointments prior to a Copa de Rey final that must also be taken into account by Manuel Pellegrini when making his plan for the imminent future. In its usual context of rotations, there is a piece that dodges philosophy more frequently. Usually. Nabil Fekir is not into breaks. He wants everything in the remainder of the campaign and therefore he intends to be in the game in these duels that remain without fatigue being a determining focus. Pellegrini has already admitted it on several occasions: the Frenchman manages the sum of games well and it is not always necessary for a player to rotate in that dynamic of changes.

3,255 minutes. It is the playing time signed by Nabil Fekir so far in the campaign. Pellegrini relieved him by technical decision against Atlético de Madrid in the first round clash and at the gates of a hellish schedule. But not even that intentional move turned out to be meaningful to the player in what followed. No other player on the squad adds more minutes than him. He also dodges those rotations of the Chilean in a remarkable way since the technician landed in Heliopolis. And on the pitch, the maximum exponent of the trust that his coach places on the player: he has a free hand to move around the flank of the attack in his system and also to go to the reception and make football from afar.

The sights to the future generate minimal questions in the verdiblanco club regarding the figure of Fekir. He was recently linked to the interest of some clubs, including Barcelona, ​​but in Heliópolis they trust that his recent renewal, his clause of one hundred million and the player’s desire to seek higher goals at Betis are enough. The illusion is shared. Fekir hopes that this end of the course will provide more incentives to the entity and knows that it is a fully guaranteed resource for Pellegrini, one of his greatest allies to continue in the Verdiblanco club.
