Finally! After weeks of speculations, and in general a spate of bad news, the focus has finally returned to purely what happens on the field and in that regards, Betis’s 3-0 win over Cordoba is as resounding as it can be under the prevailing circumstances.

One of the main problems that Betis faced last season was the fact that the team was one dimensional and probably lacked a real playmaker who can control the tempo of the game as well as direct his teammates on the field.
