Troy Parrott, ahead of his first derby: no middle ground in Seville
The Irish striker, a finalist for two Irish FA awards, hopes to make his derby debut on Saturday 21 November at the Sánchez-Pizjuán.
Irish striker Troy Parrott, who joined Real Betis in August, hopes to make his debut in the derby against Sevilla on Saturday 21 November at the Sánchez-Pizjuán. According to Mundo Deportivo, he has already felt the city's passion: speaking to RTÉ Sport during the Irish national team camp, he said that in Seville you are either a Betis or a Sevilla fan, with no middle ground, and admitted he is eager to experience it.
Cucho Hernández's doubt opens the door for Parrott to start his first derby. The former AZ Alkmaar forward says he wants to play every minute of every match.
He is also up for three Irish FA awards: he is a finalist for best senior international and best young international, and has two nominations for goal of the year, his second goal against Portugal and the third of his hat-trick against Hungary.
