Abde decided to leave Barcelona for Real Betis last summer. But the 22-year-old forward continues to watch his former club’s performances from afar. And he believes it is unreasonable for Xavi to be the target of harsh criticism for the Azulgrana’s failures this season.
‘I don’t understand the criticism. I think they have a very good year in La Liga. They are up there and in the Champions League. They reached the quarter-finals. Which they haven’t done in many years. I think they’re unlucky. I’m sure next season will continue.’ Abde said of his former team’s performance.
In recent weeks, Abde has been linked with a possible move away from Real Betis at the end of the season. With AC Milan and a Saudi club also interested in signing the forward. The 22-year-old attacker will receive 50 percent of the transfer fee from Barcelona if a transfer occurs. But the Moroccan is keen to continue being a part of Betigo’s side next season.
‘I will be successful at Betis, I want that. And may next year be the best season of my life.’ Abde said.
