There are divided opinions among the fans of the Verdiblanco team about the performance of the Olivarian team, which is why some are calling for his renewal while others want him to leave.
After the war, everyone is a general and in Betis’ recent exit from the Conference League, Juan Miranda was one of those named in Abner’s absence. The player from Olivar has been experiencing one of his worst performance phases for some time. Everyone points out that the reason may be that the player has his mind in Italy and not in Spain.
It must be remembered that AC Milan still have the full-back on their agenda and have hinted that they will opt for him in this year’s summer market. Of course, Juan Miranda must fulfill a requirement, have the freedom letter, that is, he is not allowed to extend with Betis. The fact is that some of the green and white fans want the winger out while others, more objective, ask to stay.
With Abner injured and Miranda at a low level, Betis’ left-back is exposed
Currently, the Sevillian team has two troops in its left lane, namely the Brazilian and the former Barcelona player. The first of them is in the hospital ward due to an ankle sprain he suffered in the game against Getafe CF. According to the medical report, the player will not be ready until early March. Although he is already showing progress and has already done work with the ball.
The other option, we are talking about Miranda here, is that she is not having her best moment in terms of level and performance. This is a cause for concern among both fans and the coaching staff. But Pellegrini knows what he has and he has to use it. At least until Abner is 100% recovered. The main problem is that the Sevillian will not be able to play against Athletic next Sunday.
Without Abner and Miranda, Betis will face Athletic
Manuel PellegrinI have one more challenge before the game against the Bilbao team the possibility of using an improvised left-back. With Carioca in the hospital and the former Schalke 04 player penalized for accumulating yellow cards, the Chilean has few options to build his defense. The first real option is a switch to Senegalese Youssouf Sabaly, although he lacks rhythm (calf injury).
Then there is Aitor Ruibal, who plays as a right winger but also plays as an inside and winger. The disadvantage is that their strength is on the right side and the need is on the left. There are less than 20 hours until the game, which will be played at the Benito Villamarín, where Betis will try to bounce back from their international defeat.
