The quarry has a great weight in Real Betis’ strategic plan. There is a strong commitment to this plot with the double objective of feeding players to the first team, thereby reducing the need to invest in signings, and at the same time being able to generate economic income with future transfers. So, One of the footballers who raises the most hope is Pablo García, who already completed the preseason last summer under the orders of Manuel Pellegrini.even scoring two goals in the first friendly against Austria Salzburg, although Its future is currently up in the air. After scoring 45 goals in 43 official matches last season with Juvenil A, with whom this season He continues playing in the Youth League and has three goals in two games, It was decided that it was time to promote it definitively to the Betis Deportivowith which he already debuted last season. At present, he did not start as a starter, but he has been gaining more prominence and this past weekend he scored his first goal against Antequera, after a break in which He made his debut with the Spanish under 19 team and scored against Austria.
At only 18 years old, all this has put him in the showcase, so the La Palmera club He is working to renew his contract, which ends next June. But for now, beyond his intentions to continue wearing green and white, there is no agreement in sight, as confirmed by the director of youth football, Miguel Calzado, who is optimistic but does not take its continuity for granted either.
“He what What he tells us a little is that he wants to stay with us. We are trying to make him stay, to make him feel comfortable.. I think they are betting on him. In the end he is the only youth player, a bit with Oreiro, but Oreiro is still going up and down. He is already fixed at Betis Deportivo and Let’s hope they reach an agreement soon and close it. That we didn’t arrive, well, this is football“he explained in an interview in Relief.
In this way, the Heliópolis entity wants to make their representatives see that the commitment to Pablo García is undoubted, although there are economic differences that stop the agreement. At the same time, he is also warned that he is still young and in the process of training, so he is urged to keep working to earn a place and make the jump to the first team.
No “guarantees” can be given.
“I think that more signs that have been given to him that he can have a career here… as a youth, he is in the reserve team, he has done preseason with the first team. Football guarantees do not exist. You have to earn it day by day and if you fall asleep someone else comes from behind and passes you. There have been players here who have anticipated the process and are currently playing in the Tercera RFEF, and other players who have gone step by step and are still here and have made their debut in the First Division. It’s like the case of Mateo, for example. The other day I don’t know if you saw an interview by Marc Casado that referred to that. I was in cadets, they passed it and such. Nobody can have guarantees because this is football and you have to earn it every day. Do you have the conditions to continue progressing? Sure“If not, we would not have taken the step or steps we are taking with him,” said Calzado.
