But this achievement fills Beticismo with satisfaction and a club that found the path to its goals for the second consecutive year. To the European ticket he added a Copa del Rey title that he had not tasted for 17 years. The magical green and white campaign points directly to the figure of Manuel Pellegriniwho knew how to impose his differential rigor to consume the team until its priority goals.

We must start from scratch and do things the same way we did this year,” warned Pellegrini, aware of the difficulties that will come when trying to find higher goals. He will ask the market to give him a wink at the same time that he wants his main strengths in the squad to remain on the scene.
