Betis defeated Real Sociedad, and the Ass wrote that Betis' Moroccan winger Abd became the protagonist of the whole game, and the limelight overshadowed Anthony.
After returning to the starting lineup, Abde's performance on Betis' left was decisive, with dribbling, crossing and shooting the team the highest number. Head coach Pellegrini encouraged him to show his decisive performance, and he did so.
The article said that Abud's performance completely overshadowed Anthony's return in this game, proving that he is a key member of Pellegrini's tactical system.
This summer is not easy for Abud. He was injured in the Europa League final in May and then went through a long recovery period and missed the entire preseason as a result. He made a comeback against Levante a week ago and regained the left winger's main position from Rodrigo Riquelme with his outstanding performance in the game.
This game is also the 23-year-old Abude's 100th appearance in La Liga. The report pointed out that he still hopes to gain a foothold in the top league and proves to Barcelona that it might have been a mistake to let him go. Pellegrini is working to stimulate his full potential, trying to make him one of the most offensive players in La Liga.
