A fracture rules Diego Llorente out for 61 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Betis will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Adrián keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Betis may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Words exchanged at Betis
Antony and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Antony runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 22. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Valentín Gómez has his eye on Europe
It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Betis can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

A row about effort at Betis
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Álvaro Valles was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

No hiding place for Álvaro Valles
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Álvaro Valles, and the manager let it.

Real Sociedad take the points off Betis
Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

The month belongs to Troy Parrott
The award is a small thing with a heavy meaning: for four weeks nobody in this division did his job better. Betis have the trophy on a shelf and the player in the side.
