Juanmi-Willian José, the couple with the ten goals in the League

Juanmi and Willian José have a special connection and against Elche they once again executed their scoring efficiency. Each of them adds five goals in this League. A dozen goals between the two that add up to almost half of those scored by Betis in this league championship (22). The Malaga striker finally exploded in Heliópolis after two years conditioned by injuries and the Brazilian tries to find the regularity that he only glimpsed in Real Sociedad at times. The union of the two already found outstanding numbers in the San Sebastian club: they signed 29 in the 2016-2017 campaign and 30 in the 2017-2018.

Juanmi opened the can against Elche in the return to the triumphal habit of his team after the three falls prior to the break. He scored after a recovery by Álex Moreno and caused the penalty that Willian José would score shortly after. Between them they left sentenced an appointment that Fekir would culminate moments later. “The key was to keep working, we came from a good dynamic. We had not been very successful but here are the results. I am happy on an individual level, living a fantastic moment and I hope it continues like this. “

It is also a confidence boost for Willian José, who alternates starts with Borja Iglesias but willingly accepts that philosophy distribution of minutes imposed by Manuel Pellegrini. In this context, he intends to recover his best version, which was reflected against Elche in a remarkable first half in which he also helped his team with a brilliant association capacity in each ball out. Pellegrini celebrates that his attackers go through a moment of light and is now considering how to stretch those states of form to transfer them to the marathon of matches in the coming weeks.
