Indeed, it is a revival. Isco, born in 1992 and the same age as Son Heung-min, was once called a genius midfielder. It emerged as a comet in Malaga and gained attention when it joined Real Madrid. It was utilized as a tactical key in the team. As a substitute for two terms, Isco perfectly played the role of assistant to Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo. He played in 32 matches in the first season and had eight goals and seven assists, and in 34 matches, he had four goals and nine assists. In the 2016-17 season, he scored 10 goals and eight assists in 30 matches, achieving double-digit goals for the first time in his career in the league.

He left a strong impression at Real Madrid. He had good teamwork with Zinedine Zidane. Under Zidane's leadership, Isco was evaluated as a world class midfielder and solidified his foothold in the Spanish national team. He was at the center when Real won various championships including the UEFA Champions League.

Then, Isco gradually decreased his playing time. The injury was the cause and after his return, he was pushed out because his form did not rise. Alternative resources such as Vinicius Junior and Federico Valverde grew and took a hit.

He became an absent player from Real Madrid. Even if he played, he was replaced at the end of the second half. Isco, which turned into a surplus resource, said goodbye to Real at the end of the 2021-22 season. After leaving Real, Isco went to Sevilla. He played in the first half of the season but had no presence. Coach Julen Lopetegui was replaced, his position was in jeopardy, and eventually his contract was terminated. Isco could not find a new team to the extent that even rumors of retirement were raised, but Betis reached out.

Isco has returned to normal. At Betis, Isco played 17 La Liga matches, scoring two goals and making two assists. Based on the soccer statistics magazine "Huscoord dotcom," Isco ranked 10th in average rating. Spain's Mundo Deportivo ranked Isco ninth among the best players in the first half of the year. It was higher than Ante Budimir. Betis highly rated Isco, who had signed a contract until this season, and he wants to stay with him for three more years.
