Nation’s media in awe of ‘clever’ Leeds star’s ‘remarkable’ display for loan club on Saturday
As of right now, the Spaniard has started each of Betis’ four games. Andoni Iraola’s new team, which had performed admirably in its first three games, welcomed Rayo Vallecano to Betis on Saturday. They triumphed by a score of 1.
Willian Jose, who had previously been on loan at Wolves, scored the winning goal. But once more in midfield, Roca was impressive. With Guido Rodriguez and Isco together, Betis is currently ranked eighth. Media in Spain hailed Roca.
He received a 7/10 rating from Estadio Deportivo, who noted that he “paid attention to the interior corridor to steal balls and cause superiority.Well-positioned, initially switching places with Guido, then Guardado in the second half.
He was skilled at committing fouls and was issued a warning in the last seconds of the game, according to ED. He was deemed “Remarkable” by ABC. He is more comfortable with Pellegrini’s team. He was the conduit via which every pass to Isco was made.
Spanish media rave about Leeds star Roca after Saturday win
Two things come to mind in light of Roca’s improved form. Where were this self-assurance and fluid play while he was donning a Leeds jersey? But perhaps the second point—that he is fit for Spain—answers the first.
Roca struggled in his two years at Bayern since he had left Espanyol, where he had established himself as a star and started his career. At Leeds, more game time did not make things better. He is obviously a fit for Spanish football.

With the strong start he has had at Betis, Roca will be overjoyed. Pellegrini has given him the trust he needs to thrive, and after just four games, the Chilean manager is already starting to see results.
Together with Isco and Guido Rodriguez, Roca appears to be laying the groundwork for a fantastic season in his own country. He is displaying the shape that Leeds hoped he would display.
He still has a record at Elland Road, of course. However, it’s likely that Roca has played his final match for Leeds. Though it may result in a permanent expulsion, his remarkable form at Betis is a positive omen.
Along with Rodrigo and Joel Robles, who joined Robbie Fowler’s Al-Qadsiah, Roca is one of several Spanish players that left Leeds in the summer. Robles left a four-word comment on a post.
