In the recent 3-0 victory against Oviedo, the midfielder didn&#8217;t see any action, once again left out of Manuel Pellegrini&#8217;s plans. Over the last six league matches, Fidalgo has barely clocked 45 minutes, all of which came in the clash against Real Madrid. The lack of opportunities no longer seems to be a matter of rotation but rather a question of trust.<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles_paragraph__k2T4g\">Pellegrini has opted for other players in the midfield, leaving Fidalgo in the shadows. In the match against Oviedo, the Chilean coach preferred players like Amrabat, Fornals, and Lo Celso, among others. This decision clearly indicates that Fidalgo is not in the immediate plans of the coach, complicating his situation as the season draws to a close and his potential participation in the World Cup hangs in the balance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles_paragraph__k2T4g\">Fidalgo&#8217;s future at Betis is uncertain. At the start of the season, injuries to key players gave him the chance to shine, but with their return, his role has drastically diminished. Pellegrini seems to have condemned him to the sidelines, and without minutes on the field, his game rhythm is affected. This could be a problem for Javier Aguirre, who must decide if Fidalgo has a place in the Mexican national team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles_paragraph__k2T4g\">With only four matches left in the league, Fidalgo needs a change of course to secure his future. The lack of minutes not only affects his present but also his prospects for the next season. The midfielder hoped to have a more prominent role, but the reality is that his current situation leaves him in the background, both at Betis and in the national team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles_paragraph__k2T4g\">Time is ticking, and Fidalgo must find a solution. Whether by earning Pellegrini&#8217;s trust or seeking new horizons, the midfielder needs minutes to prove his worth. Betis fans and the Mexican national team supporters hope Fidalgo can turn this situation around and return to being the decisive player everyone knows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The situation for \u00c1lvaro Fidalgo at Real Betis is becoming increasingly worrisome.
