In an unexpected move, Chimy Ávila returned to the starting eleven of Real Betis Balompié against Ludogorets, rescued by Manuel Pellegrini from the obscurity that seemed to consume him.

Chimy Ávila: from silence to exception

The Argentinian had not played since August 31, when he barely entered for a few minutes against Athletic. During September, he was a shadow: not a minute in LaLiga, Conference, or Europe. Pellegrini decided to sideline him as a last offensive resort. However, with the transfer window closed, all exit doors were sealed for Chimy until January.

Pellegrini opts for rotation and rescues Chimy

To avoid overlooking part of the squad and give Antony a rest, Pellegrini decided to start Chimy against Ludogorets. The rotations paid off: Betis won 0-2, controlled the match under adverse conditions, and earned 4 points in Europe. Chimy formed an offensive trio with Bakambu and Riquelme, a clear bet towards his recovery.

An investment with an expiration date

Betis has already paid part of the agreed bonus with Chimy and is about to pay another €350,000 if he plays two more matches; against Ludogorets, he reached number 42. Therefore, Pellegrini will need to calculate the use of the forward not only based on sportive needs but also considering additional costs.

Betis and Pellegrini: management with a view to three fronts

With simultaneous competitions (LaLiga, Copa, and Europe), the Chilean coach knows that he will need to resort to more offensive alternatives for the remainder of the year. Although Chimy currently holds one of the lower positions in Pellegrini's scale, his inclusion in Razgrad suggests that he will get more minutes over time. Betis also needs to manage the expenses related to the Argentine's contract, now obligated to meet deadlines.

Who controls Chimy's future?

During the summer transfer window, the Mexican option was tangible: Betis finalized an agreement with Pumas, but the player himself raised his demands and ruled it out, as reported by EstadioDeportivo. Exotic leagues were still open (Qatar, Greece, Emirates), but all possibilities faded without movement. Today, Ávila remains at Betis until January. This stay requires a new chapter: convincing Pellegrini on the pitch to aim for more playing time.

At a club with continental ambitions, every resource matters. Reviving Chimy Ávila is, at least for now, an act of defensive and offensive conviction by Betis and Manuel Pellegrini, looking towards the summer and the second half of the season, where his name regains value.
