Willian José meets again with Getafe seven months later

Willian José hopes to have a place in Manuel Pellegrini’s plan for next Monday against Getafe. Betis faces the first of its five League finals to cling to the dream of the Champions League and the Brazilian is reunited with his best victim since arriving in Heliopolis: he scored a brace in the first round clash against the Madrid side in a 2-0 that left the project led by Míchel touched and sunk. Later the brilliant awakening of Getafe would come under the direction of Quique Sánchez Flores. For Willian, there is a challenge present: recover that lethal version that he showed at the start of the campaign and that now seems absent.

The irruption of the best Borja Iglesias left Willian José in the shade for a few weeks. Despite this, he continued to enjoy titles at the hands of Pellegrini, who maintained a methodical system of rotations at the point of his attack. But the numbers reflect that his ten goals are far from the 18 scored by the Galician striker. Of course, in the League the distance between the two is much smaller. The competition as nine gave Pellegrini letters of improvement and the Chilean is satisfied with the work of his two forwards. Both leave with many ballots to continue being part of the project for the next course. Borja Iglesias with his recent renewal in hand and Willian José with the possibility that Betis and Real Sociedad close what started out as a loan in the form of a definitive transfer.

Willian José clings to this end of the league season to show his best performance and thus convince Pellegrini that his figure is suitable for his plan. Beyond figures, the coach understands that what the Brazilian brings to his team’s game is vital when he is on stage. The player, yes, pretends multiply your numbers so that he is also incisive in that untouchable parameter of translating his work into goals. Against Getafe, he wants to remember his most magical night since he landed in the green and white entity.
