Opportunities for all: Pellegrini's repeated plan

Pellegrini has already used 23 players from his squad in the first three days of this league championship. This is a high figure that reflects the Betis coach's intentions from minute 1: he wants to have his entire squad plugged in with a view to a campaign in which the demands will be multiplied by participation in the Europa League. With players who arrived at the last minute and have not yet made their debut, Pellegrini hopes that the competition of his group will serve to raise individual performances as he already achieved last year.

It is no mystery that Pellegrini tries to stage more struggle between his players when it comes to winning a place in the team. In fact, from the moment the market was closed, one of his most difficult tasks was convincing secondary pieces that their role in the team can be important. Beyond having been assets of possible outings in the summer, the coach wants the whole group to be willing to gain a place in his starting team, either for LaLiga or for the Copa del Rey and Europa League appointments.

The Verdiblanco coach is aware of the difficulty of fighting on three fronts if he does not achieve the involvement of many more players. One of the focuses is placed on William Carvalho, who was out of his plans for a long time and who finally decided not to leave Heliopolis in the last market window. Pellegrini does not want him to be an exceptional guest at the party, but to turn his situation around and try to show his best level to regain a hole in the eleven and have more avenues for the future in the next markets, including the option of once again have a specific weight in the Portuguese team.
