The Real Betis coach, Chilean Manuel Pellegrini, confirmed the casualties for the match that his team plays on Tuesday in Getafe of his compatriot Claudio Bravo, explaining that it is difficult for the national goalkeeper to be at the start of the Qualifiers.
“Unfortunately he had a knee strain before the game against Real Madrid that was not given importance, but the next day he woke up swollen,” he said.
“The player was not 100% sure of being able to act, the doctor evaluated him and did not consider that it was necessary to risk it,” he added.
“I think that Claudio, I can’t say it today, but it is going to cost him to get to Saturday against Valencia. I do not think he is for the Qualifiers with Chile, but it is an opinion that must be evaluated every 24 hours according to how he evolves from his injury “, closed Pellegrini.
The coach again referred to what happened against Real Madrid (defeat by 1-2) and assured that he is not afraid that his criticism of the referee’s performance will lead to a sanction and reiterated “the VAR in England: it is a tool that gives more justice” although he disagrees “on how it is used and when”.
“I’m very calm, I didn’t say anything. It would be strange if he was sanctioned without blaming anyone. I said it was very difficult. I do not believe that it is necessary to give so much importance to the declarations after the parties “, added the trainer in this regard.
Manuel Pellegrini considers Betis’ leadership anecdotal, since “only three dates have been played”, and incomplete because “not all teams have played all three games”, but he was willing to “defend that position” by repeating the “half hour brilliant “played in the first half against Real Madrid.
