The Betis of 50 points

Betis has 50 points in its League locker. All a reflection of the great work of Manuel Pellegrini as leader of a project called to break many records of green and white history. At the moment, at this point in the championship, they have the best numbers since 1997. These figures are the best possible guarantee for a team that does not want to give up in its desire to improve itself as the weeks go by. Beyond a physical downturn that conditioned the campus in the last month. Beyond seeing how Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona emerged from nowhere to reach that zone of privilege which is a dream in Heliopolis. Pellegrini still believes in the Champions League and will not hesitate to go all out in the remaining nine games.

The sensations in Heliópolis continue to be positive, although the main support of the illusion is heading to the Copa del Rey and to a final that could mean the return of a title and a direct passport to the Europa League. But Pellegrini does not want the team’s gaze to escape from the league path that he has traced so well so far. The rotations, significant so far, will have less continuity in a context of fewer games, while one of the great objectives is that the main figures soon find their best version on the grass. The Chilean coach insists that he does not see signs of fatigue reflected in his squad, so his plan will be in accordance with what has been executed so far.

The calendar shows four league games before the Cup final. Pellegrini hopes that his team comes out of the break with the necessary mentality to aspire to add as many points as possible in those appointments against Osasuna, Cádiz, Real Sociedad and Elche. There are arguments for hope in the Verdiblanco coach. Members such as Guardado, Álex Moreno, Rui Silva or Tello joined his last training session, while he supports his confidence in having achieved that practically his entire squad is plugged in to achieve the objectives.
