Lto season of Cristian Tello in it Betis it is going from more to less. Protagonist in the first days, with four goals in eight games and a good number of starts, he has been losing prominence in the team little by little and reducing his participation to the usual role of revulsive that he ended up having with his previous coaches in the Verdiblanco team. A situation that hopes to change in the 10 days of League that remain starting on Sunday against a rival with a special meaning in his career.
The Elche It was the team that Tello he scored for the last time this season, on November 1 of last year. With two goals, the Catalan winger gave his team all three points in the match on day 8, before a very negative series, with three consecutive defeats, ended up ‘taking him out of the starting eleven Pellegrini. It was the second and to date the last double of Christian in First division throughout his career. The first he had achieved in The Romareda, in April 2013 in front of the Saragossa, defending the colors of the Barça -In Second Division, the Copa del Rey, the Champions League and Serie A he did some more and a couple of hat-tricks-.

Back in the group and after several high-level training sessions, the fast winger looks for a place in the starting lineup on Sunday, taking advantage of possible rotations of Manuel Pellegrini -with whom he had a talk this week- with some of the internationals who return after their national team matches and the great performance he offered against him in the first round, becoming a nightmare for the French-green defense.
