Another marathon for Pellegrini: eight games in just 28 days

The Betis accept a new challenge after this break, which he reached in his first crisis of the season. The defeats against Atlético, Leverkusen and Sevilla, without goals in favor and with nine against, now deliver to Manuel Pellegrini a new ticket starting point to measure the real aspirations of your project. Will be eight gamesat least in just 28 days. All this with the Copa del Rey on stage since this month of November and the possibility of certifying the pass to the next round of the Europa League. Under this scenario, the Chilean coach hopes that his squad will be able to remain in that privilege zone of the league classification.

The route will start in Elche and it will end in Bilbao before the Christmas break. He will receive Levante and Real Sociedad in the League, while he will also visit the Barcelona. His European appointments, against Ferencvaros at Villamarín and against him Celtic en Glasgow, they should confirm their staging in the Europa League. Today he will meet his first rival in the Copa del Rey ahead of an appointment scheduled for the first day of December, while there would be another hypothetical cup clash on day 15 if it achieves the classification. Such a match marathon similar to the one at the beginning of the course and in which he responded in a remarkable way before that unexpected downturn in his last games.

Pellegrini will pull the same recipe that ran so far: their rotations. Wait players like Victor Ruiz or Diego Wool, that many duels were lost due to injury, regain their best form to be protagonists in that almost mandatory rest wheel. Not only will the possible aspirations of his second project in charge of Betis be measured, but also the marked needs for him upcoming winter market. Pellegrini has many challenges on the table and this almost endless month will answer many of the unknowns.
