Betis coach, Chilean Manuel Pellegrini, showed this Sunday his “double joy for having beaten” Huesca (1-0) and for “qualifying” for a continental tournament, but has warned that “the season is not over” because “there are three points to be achieved in Vigo”.
The Betic coach knows that “playing in the 'Europa League' or the 'Conference League'” remains to be elucidated, although regardless, he gave “congratulations to the squad for achieving an unplanned goal at the beginning”, since it is in continental competition after “fighting with more powerful institutions in the economic sphere,” he said.
Pellegrini stated that he cannot “comment on the penalty” that the scoreboard has chosen “because he has not” seen it “and preferred to focus on the” merits in the absence of a match “, since after” of 32 goals conceded in the first round it has gone to 14 or 15 in the second, 17 goals less ”.
“That is why we have become more competitive. I will make the rest of the evaluations after the match against Celta ”, added the Santiago coach.
Pellegrini admitted that Betis has “lost freshness in attack against locked teams” in recent days, something that he does not attribute to “pressure for the goal”, but to “it is having a hard time reaching the opposing goal. That is why we must value not having fit in and having achieved the three points today, ”he insisted.
