Isco Alarcón's Outstanding Performance Against Villarreal and the Betis Dressing Room's Reactions
The man from Malaga once again showed what a good player he is when he’s plugged in. The only one who did not surprise was Pellegrini, who was clear that he should be in the starting eleven
If he was surprised to see him in the first Real Betis league eleven, he was even more surprised when the ball began to roll. Isco Alarcón is back to stay. For this purpose, he signed with the Betic team, to show that his talent is still intact. And in the first official meeting that he has had, nine months after leaving through the back door at Sevilla FC, he has won the MVP trophy of the match in the ranks of the eternal rival.

He was the best player in the Pellegrini team until strength allowed him. With and without the ball, he collapsed. He was seen wanting and did not disappoint anyone. The béticos did not remember Canales and, best of all, the pairing with Fekir may be to rub their hands together.
At the end of the match, Movistar Plus interviewed him and the man from Malaga was happy, above all, for having left behind a very tough stage for him: “Very happy to play after a long time, happy for the debut, for the victory and not you can start better.”
Regarding the level shown, the former Sevilla player acknowledged having worked hard during all this time that he has been inactive, where his environment has been key: “Behind this there is a lot of preparation. I’ve had bad times, but I’ve come out ahead, thank my family, to my wife… What I like the most is playing football and when I can’t I don’t feel good. I’m happy to leave that stage behind, happy with how the dressing room, the club have received me…”.
Of course, the midfielder acknowledged having found himself “better than I expected”, while highlighting this first victory: “It is very important, it is key to start well, it is a difficult field, a direct rival and next week we have another rival direct and it was important to start winning”.
Lastly, and regarding the MVP award, the Verdiblanco player downplayed it: “That’s not important, what I want is to help the team.”
Pellegrini and Marc Roca praise Isco
It has been his great personal bet this summer and as soon as he has been able to, he has thanked him. Manuel Pellegrini has been the great architect of the transfer of the man from Malaga to Betis. He was the one who convinced the Verdiblancos leaders that he could bring out his talent again, just as he did at Malaga. And today, in the league premiere, the midfielder has agreed with him.
And the ‘Engineer’ was so happy in Movistar Plus for the role of ’22’ against Villarreal: “The credit for Isco being at Betis belongs to him. It’s not my thing, as soon as I spoke to him I already I knew that he was whole and that he wanted the challenge. And on the economic issue he made an effort because he wanted to show that he is current. For me what he has done today is not a surprise, because I was watching him train every day and he is a player of other level”.
Back in the locker room, everyone congratulated Isco on his extraordinary return to competition. And when Marc Roca appeared before the Movistar Plus microphones, he couldn’t help but praise the man from Malaga: “We need him, he’s a great player and it’s a pride and an honor to have him as a teammate. We have to take advantage of his qualities.”
