Betis fans on Guido Rodríguez signing, Valencia could profit if he hits former level | OneFootball

Valencia view Guido Rodríguez as a major hope for the second half of the season, a proven pivot expected to make a difference. Betis supporters say he could raise the level at Mestalla if he reproduces the standards he showed in Seville.

According to Superdeporte, Betis fans at La Cartuja during the weekend match against Real Betis offered their verdict on the Argentine’s arrival. They recall he excelled in the Betis midfield before leaving for England on a free after failing to agree a new deal, a departure that stung.

One supporter felt that, if he reaches that previous level, he could improve Valencia’s build-up, win plenty of ball and become a pillar for a side that needs it. He was also praised for his grit.

Another highlighted his reading of the game, calling him important defensively and clear about his role. With the ball, the fan said, he is the sort of midfielder any team would want.

A third supporter said Rodríguez left a top memory at Betis and could add on and off the ball for Valencia. They pointed to incisive passing, quality under pressure and reliable recovery work without the ball.
