“Containment of expenses, search for assets destined for sales that generate capital gains and, above all, a lot of quarry; a very strong commitment to quarry”, those are the three main slogans that the Real Betis he remarked this Friday, in a meeting with the press to detail the figures that the board of directors will present at the Shareholders’ Meeting on December 17. The club remembers that it has invested a lot of money in the new Rafael Gordillo Sports City as proof of its intentions and feels supported by the evidence: Betis Deportivo is the new leader of Group 2 of the Primera RFEF and, while that happens, Manuel Pellegrini does not stop recruiting young talent in the house. The last of them, taking advantage of the international diaspora during the league break: Masked Oscar.
It is a promising 17 year old right back (he turns 18 on January 15) who has started the season with signs in the Juvenile A Division of Honor and that these days are taken advantage of Ángel Ortiz’s injury and Pablo Busto’s concentration for the league match that the reserve team must play this Friday against Atlético Sanluqueño. Óscar Masqué has been one of the home players who is being called by Manuel Pellegrini to alleviate the shortcomings he has on the right side between the injury of Héctor Bellerín and the progressive reinstatement of Aitor Ruibal, but it is not the first time that he has been exercise with the ‘elders’.
Masqué already trained with Betis the previous weekwhen the now convalescent Angel Ortiz (grade 2 myofascial injury in the semitendinosus muscle of his left leg) ended up being chosen to enter the squad against NK Celje, on the third day of the Group Stage of the UEFA Conference League, and Pablo Busto He was summoned for the last league match against RC Celta de Vigo, since he was not available in the interweekly match due to having to play with Juvenil in the Youth League. Finally, Youssouf Sabaly completed both games and neither of them had minutes, although Busto did play in two LaLiga 23/24 games. Last weekend he played with the Juvenil team, scored, won and this week he was called up again by Pellegrini.
“The great message we want to convey is that we have made a very strong investment in the youth team (about 30 million euros in the new sports city) and it is already giving us very good results.in the first team and in the reserve team, which we already see how it is (leader of Group 2 of the First RFEF. It is the base: proven players who are already in the squad, with additions of active young people who can generate income with sales and a important role of the youth players to balance numbers and continue aspiring to stay in Europe,” explained Ramón Alarcón, CEO of the entity, today, pointing to the lower ranks when asked about the January market or Johnny Cardoso’s injury.
Of course, you can’t tell Manuel Pellegrini not to make the most of emerging talent (there are already 19 promotions in four and a half years). Gone is the prominence he gave to players like Rodri, Edgar, Paul, Rober or Aitor Ruibal, today captain of a squad in which they have made a stable place Fran Vieites y Assane Diaowhile debutants continue to join. Nobel Mendy, Matthew Flowers, Jesus Rodriguez and Carlos Guirao They are the four who have had the alternative, but it has also returned Dani Pérez after his long knee injury and others such as Lucas Alcázar, Manu González, Germán García and the aforementioned Ángel Ortiz y Pablo Busto.
