Javier Aguirre is still preparing for the upcoming World Cup. The Mexican manager had included in his plans the possibility of Alvaro Fidalgo playing in Mexico after becoming a naturalized player. The Spanish-Mexican played at a high level on his debut in friendlies against Portugal and Belgium, revealing that he is a hugely talented footballer and a major contributor to the midfield.
At Betis, Fidalgo was almost a no-brainer for Pellegrini when Aguirre called him up, and he played a lot of minutes and played a key role for the Verdiblancos. But now everything has changed and Fidalgo has lost his prominent presence in the La Liga team. The midfielder played in the Europa League match against Braga, although he didn’t play every game, but has instead been absent from the league, with Betis battling for fifth place, which would qualify them for the Champions League.

At Betis, the level of competition has increased significantly due to the return of several injured midfielders, which could obviously be damaging for Fidalgo. This will cause a huge controversy and affect Javier Aguirre, who is currently at a crossroads.
delicate decision
The key to everything is whether the manager should include Fidalgo in his World Cup squad if the Betis player barely plays between now and the end of the season. It all depends on what Aguirre thinks. If he understands that he will be an important piece of the national team, then he should be called up, but if everything depends on what the player has done in the last two months at the club, then the situation becomes very complicated. The situation becomes very complicated, especially when compared to other players in similar situations.
That’s why coach Aguirre will need to keep a close eye on Fidalgo’s situation. Because he unwittingly embarrasses the manager, who may not have expected this footballer’s loss of fame at this stage of the season.
