Real Betis travels this Wednesday to Zagreb to face GNK Dinamo tomorrow Thursday, in the match of the sixth day of the championship phase of the Europa League at the Old Maksimir in the Croatian capital from 6:45 p.m. … In the baggage of the Betis first team is the intention to try to achieve a positive result, a draw or a victory, which brings the green and white team closer to access to the round of 16 of the European competition directly to the round of 16, trying to avoid the uncomfortable crossing of the play-offs to reach the round of 16 between February 19 and 26.
A new young player leaves for the Balkan countries with “the old ones”. Carlos de Roa, left back of the Youth Division of Honor team who has already made his debut with Betis Deportivo this season, was asked by Manuel Pellegrini to complete the call-up due to the absence of Ricardo due to suspension and Junior due to injury. The smile and enthusiasm could be seen on the Dos Hermanas-born footballer’s face as he got off the Betis bus before entering the executive terminal of Seville’s San Pablo Airport.
De Roa was one of the most important players for Dani Fragoso in the first green and white youth team that won the Champions Cup last season and last summer he had the opportunity to participate in the first part of the 25-26 pre-season under the management of Manuel Pellegrini, even playing a few minutes.
He has already played with the youth team this season in the UEFA Youth League, a competition in which he even scored a goal and, after making his debut with the Primera RFEF reserve team and recently signing his extension until 2030, he has become a regular in Javi Medina’s teams.
The anecdote of Betis’ departure for Zagreb was interpreted by Ez Abde. The Moroccan international was not present with the rest of his teammates and the alert sounded. False alarm. He fell asleep and went straight to the airport to join the expedition on the official plane.
