Description:

Last season has been awful for Betis. Verdiblancos have been relegated to Segunda Division and there were hardly any positives. One such positive, however, might be some youth stars from the academy entering the frame of the first team football. Some names include Ignacio Albeledo or Dani Ceballos. Ceballos joined Sevilla FC’s youth system in 2004, aged eight, but was released in 2009 due to a chronic bronchus problem. He subsequently played for hometown’s CD Utrera, and signed for Real Betis in 2011. He made his professional debut without even appearing for the B-side on 26 April 2014 in a league match against Real Sociedad, where he came on for the last 9 minutes. It was a reward for his great games in the youth teams. On 21 December he scored his first professional goal, netting the first of a 2–0 home win against Racing de Santander for the Segunda División championship. Everybody in the green part of Seville hopes that he follows in the footsteps of other great Betis-made players, like Joaquin, Diego Tristan or Capi.
