The forward who is making Real Betis

Real Betis is preparing for an important tactical change that could have a big impact on its squad. Assane Diao, the 19-year-old promising player, will switch from playing as a winger to taking a more central role in the Verdiblanco attack. This decision has been made by Manuel Pellegrini, who sees the Senegalese footballer's potential to become a key striker for the team.

Pellegrini sees him as the new star forward of Betis

Although there were initial speculations about his move to Feyenoord on the last day of the transfer market, Diao has ultimately stayed at Betis, and now the club has high expectations for him in his new role. Pellegrini, after giving him minutes as a forward in the recent match against Leganés, made it clear that his intention is to establish him as an offensive reference. As reported by EstadioDeportivo, the Chilean coach believes that Diao has the right characteristics to perform this role and didn't hesitate to give him the opportunity to showcase himself in a position that had been occupied by Aitor Ruibal until now.

With the arrival of Vitor Roque to the team, Diao will face competition, but Pellegrini is confident that the young Senegalese talent will seize this opportunity and adapt quickly. The coach views his development as crucial for the team's future and is convinced that Assane will shine again, just as he did when he first burst onto the scene. Diao's positional switch could make him the new attacking star of Betis.
