“From junior to debuting with the first team,” reads the congratulatory message published by Betis.
The triumph of Real Betis before him health had several proper names, among them, Mateo Flores. The green and white team arrived at the tenth matchday of the championship with absences in the center of the field and the Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini decided to include the youth squad player from 20 years old who, in addition, had the opportunity to experience his first minutes in the top category.
It was in the 68th minute, with the score at 1-1, when Mateo Flores and Iker Losada replaced Sergi Altimira and Aitor. Just five minutes later came the final 1-2 score scored by Chimy Ávila. Betis won again and a new youth player had the opportunity to debut in the first team. Mateo Flores had already been called up for the Betis-Mallorca match on September 23 at the Benito Villamarín, although he did not have minutes in the match that day.
This Saturday, shortly after finishing the game in El Sadar, congratulations came for the midfielder. “What a nice day to debut,” can be read in a message published by Real Betis in which they congratulate the youth player for his first minutes in the green and white team.
At the start of this 24-25 season, Mateo Flores has been a regular in the lineups of the Verdiblanco reserve team. In fact, he has been a starter in seven of the nine matches that Betis Deportivo de Arzu has faced in Group II of Primera RFEF.
