Do not lose: an insufficient way for Pellegrini's goal

The Betis added one more tie to his collection of the last few weeks. There are positive balances in this scenario and also negative, although Manuel Pellegrini trust that the League closure can leave on the table a joy in form of classification for the Europa League. The tables signed against Eibar left a sweet and sour taste in the green-and-white dressing room, knowing that he missed a golden opportunity to establish himself in the privileged zone and even reach fifth place. At the moment he holds the sixth under a reality: sum nine days without losing in the League, something that he had not achieved consecutively since 2007.

But not losing doesn't seem like a enough reality for him Pellegrini's target. This almost historical figure contrasts with the glue shortage shown by the team in recent weeks and its inability to close the games with the score in favor. Mathematics is rarely mentioned by Pellegrini, but the technician knows that the priority it is tie one of the squares that give the right to Europa League and for this he will need to add the three points in this final stretch of the League. Already look at Huesca, who will visit Villamarín this Sunday, before the Celta Vigo close the list of stakes with the dream of Europe as a background.

If the victory against Granada was decisive to reach the Castellón, now the spotlights are placed on that date before a needy Huesca. Pellegrini will regain freshness of some pieces keys that rested against Eibar as Channels and he already draws up a plan so that this streak without losing can have a triumphant end.
