ANDhe Betis has just made it official through an original video posted on its social network profiles in which its captain participates Joaquin the renewal of Claudio Bravo for one more season. The Chilean goalkeeper, whose contract expired on June 30, will continue in the Verdiblanca discipline until at least 2023, within the plan launched by the club last December to ensure the continuity of the most important players in its squad.
Claudio Bravo landed on the Benito Villamarin the summer of 2020 with the letter of freedom after completing four campaigns in the premier leaguedefending the goal of the Manchester City. He thus began his second stage in The leagueafter eight seasons in the Real society and three in the Barcelona. As a Betis, he has accumulated 39 official matches, all of them as a starter, in which he has conceded 50 goals leaving his clean sheet 12 times.
Total confidence of Pellegrini and Cordón in Claudio Bravo
The renewal of the Chilean goalkeeper, despite the fact that he will turn 39 next week, has to do as much with the good performance he has offered since his arrival at the club, endorsed by his coach, Manuel Pellegrinias with the decision of the sports management commanded by Antonio Cordon to have experienced footballers in the locker room who serve as an example for the younger players and the new signings.
“With veterans, sometimes people tell you that they don’t give more of themselves and they may be right in that they don’t give an enormous sporting level, but the contribution they make on a mental level, adding to the group and giving values of effort and identity of the club invites those who have been there for less time to do a mix. Betis we have found that key until now, we have done the fundamental thing, make a group and create a positive environment”, he said a few days ago Cord on Radio BRAND.
He will not be able to play the World Cup in Qatar
One of the goals of Claudio Bravo in his day accepting the offer of the Betis and prolonging his professional career in Europe was to continue competing in the elite to have the opportunity to compete in the Qatar World Cup of the end of the year. However, his team has failed to qualify, so he will be able to enjoy his last season at the club (at least for the time being) without international commitments.
In this way, and after this renovation, the Betis It already has two goalkeepers with a valid contract for the next course: Claudio Bravo and the Portuguese Rui Silva, with whom he alternates in goal since the season began. The third goalkeeper Joel Roblesfulfills his contract on June 30 and has offers to leave next summer, although his future is not yet defined.
