Van der Vaart, so the great fiasco ...

The Dutch international midfielder Rafael van der Vaart has ended with his departure the Danish Midtjylland one of the great fiascos of Real Betis in recent seasons after arriving in praise of crowds like star signing and he has spent a season almost blank.

Dutch international of Spanish origin, 33, came to Betis from the German Hamburg after a successful career that began at Ajax Amsterdam and led to European clubs like Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspurs English before joining the bético team last summer.

Van der Vaart was the star signing of the new Betis sporting director, Eduardo Macia, and finally became the disgrace of its management by its zero performance and high operation, estimated at a total of seven million euros for the three years contract it signed.

It soon became clear that the Dutch came out of shape and not put too much effort to recover it to enter the dynamics of a newly promoted team that went from enthusiasm for the arrival of this international disappointment over their lack of participation and lack of commitment.

Numbers Rafael van der Vaart in the Betis are eloquent, and he has played seven games, two starts, and was replaced on many other occasions, which, coupled with the knowledge of the fans of the high cost of the operation, caused very soon the rejection of the verdiblanca stands.

This glut became apparent this summer during the presentation of T-shirts Betis, in which a substantial part of the audience began to chant the slogan "Take van der Vaart, check to Van der Vaart", commissioned to President Betis, Angel Haro.
