Ez Abde's evolution at Real Betis under Manuel Pellegrini has been remarkable. This start to the season shows a completely transformed player, capable of making the difference on the pitch. Gil Marín, Atlético de Madrid's CEO, should seriously consider bringing Abde into the team.
A season of consolidation
Since joining Betis in 2023, Abde has gone from being a promising player to becoming a key figure in Betis' attack. His recent performance has been impressive, especially in the match against Leganés, where he not only opened the scoring, but also participated in the build-up to the second goal. His speed, ability to dribble and determination in individual duels have made him stand out and have earned him the recognition of the fans.
The difference between his first season and this one is palpable. In his debut year, Abde faced criticism after making a mistake from the penalty spot against Real Sociedad. However, during the summer, he dedicated himself to working hard, even returning to training earlier. The departure of Ayoze Perez from the club has provided him with more opportunities and Abde has made the most of them.
Pellegrini's role
Pellegrini has played a crucial role in the Moroccan extrem's rebirth. The Chilean coach has managed to integrate Abde into Betis' collective system effectively. Recognising his potential, he has been able to adapt him to the team's needs, which has allowed the player to show more maturity and confidence on the pitch.
The possible arrival of Abde to Atlético de Madrid would be a very beneficial strategic move. With Simeone constantly looking for new talents to reinforce his squad, Abde would fit perfectly into the team's style of play. His ability to break through and create opportunities in attack would be a great complement to Atlético's forward line. In addition, his youth and ambition make him an attractive signing who could contribute for several seasons.
Not interested, but a candidate
Atlético de Madrid have not shown any interest in Abde at the moment, but if he continues at this level, he is a candidate to leave for a big club. The red-and-whites are keeping a close eye on what is happening in Spain and are sure to keep a close eye on the Moroccan. In today's football it is difficult to find players of his profile, so taking him into account is an obligation.
