Juanmi destroys the expectation

Foreshadowing is almost impossible in football. And Juanmi’s example is a good proof of this. The Betis striker broke expectations until he became Betis’s most incisive scoring trick at this stage of the season. He scored eleven goals in LaLiga. He signed so many in the last five days. Scored nine in the last nine appointments. And he is the pursuer of Karim Benzema (13) in that scorers table that perhaps did not have him a few months ago. Juanmi lived a summer full of hopes and also of unknowns. He did not have a fixed place in the eleven of this Betis despite the fact that Pellegrini, who knew him from his time at Malaga, always trusted in his abilities. Time gave reason to both and Beticismo smiles at the more efficient irruption of the brilliant course signed by the Verdiblancos.

Not only the eleven goals reflect the good moment of Malaga. Their position on the pitch is lethal to the enemy and also a creditable factor in their quest to conquer more numbers.. He starts from the left zone of the attack but leaves that flank to advance in the area and join the nine of the Pellegrini system on many occasions. He learned to associate with Fekir and Canales to perfection. Also with his ally Willian José. Against Athletic, he again found his way to the goal after appearing in the area before a quick irruption of Álex Moreno. His eleventh goal was of little use in his team’s defeat, but Pellegrini knows he has a reliable path to efficiency in him.

The scoring career in LaLiga is more open than ever this season. Also that fight turned into a dream of being able to count on Luis Enrique’s plans for future calls. It is a personal challenge from a player who suffered an ordeal in the form of injuries during his first year and a half with Betis. Now, as the top Spanish scorer in the league championship, he does not want to miss the opportunity to give consistency to his best moment. He already sees his best historical figures and wants Betis to rely on it to achieve their precious goals.
