The chaos experienced against Villarreal once again lights the alarms in Heliópolis. It happens because a threat of demand settled in Betis since the arrival of Manuel Pellegrini and this latest defeat opens another chapter of uncertainty destined to find solutions with a view to a future full of challenges on the Chilean table. Neither defensive reliability nor regularity in the game was installed continuously in the team, although for qualifying purposes there is a context of hope both in the League and in the Europa League. Pellegrini wants to re-execute his plan after this break, as he already did after the defeat against Real Madrid a month ago.
Betis goes to the stoppage again under symptoms of wear in its squad and renewed needs. If then it was the market that solved deficiencies, now the spotlights are pointing to Pellegrini so that he can redraw a panorama of possibilities. The team is in a position in its Europa League group in the absence of starting a tough challenge against Bayer Leverkusen twice while in LaLiga it clings to that area close to that considered privileged.

The trip to Villarreal meant a fall into hell from heaven. From the best Betis of the course he went to a gray one who never found the identity that he had reflected in previous appointments. How far can this second Pellegrini project go? Coach and players have the answer and intend to extend hope as long as possible. The Chilean knew how to manage that first stoppage of selections with success and his team took a significant boost. Now, try to find the keys again so that the expectations launched do not come to nothing. And the baton of Pellegrini is perhaps the best ally of the club on the verge of another vertigo calendar from next week.
