The Betis youth team reappears at the key moment

Betis added its third consecutive project of great dimensions in the economic and a pillar is repeated in this campaign: the youth factor continues to save mistakes in planning. Under Rubi, the unexpected appearance of Loren, who has become the maximum exponent of the green and white efficiency with eleven goals, dilutes the hitherto poor performance of Borja Iglesias, arrived in summer after a risky bet of 30 million euros that has so far not met expectations.

The Marbella striker is not the only trick that minimized problems: the youth squad Edgar also took on an unpredictable role as the pivot of this team after a summer planning that had only had William Carvalho in that role and after Guido Rodríguez, the great winter bet, did not get a fixed place either.

This context seems repetitive in recent campaigns. When Quique Setien landed at Heliopolis, The green and white sports management opted to disburse around fifteen million euros in midfielders such as Ryad Boudebouz and Víctor Camarasa. The first was far from marking the differences before returning to Ligue 1 and the second barely had prominence and left again on loan in his third year at Heliópolis. It was Fabián, another brilliant youth squad, who took over the controls of that Baetic core before being signed by Napoli in exchange for 30 million euros. Quite an appearance that was not in the club's plans before he signed a remarkable alliance with Setien. A season earlier, Real Madrid had removed from the club Dani Ceballos, star in times of complications and constant changes of coach.

If in the summer of 2018 it was Fabián who would end up leaving a large number of millions in the Baetian coffers, a year later it was Junior, the last jewel of the Baetic quarry that generated high income when leaving for Barcelona. His brilliance last season kept in the shade the great deficiency left by the club on the left side after a planning that relied too much on the versatility of after pieces.

Now, the club rebalances its roster thanks to the good level of its youth team. Barcelona has already knocked on Loren's doors in the winter market and the take-off of the Baetic battering ram seems like the new attraction for the upcoming end of the season.
