The coach of Real Betis, the Chilean Manuel Pellegrini, said after the Andalusian derby that the 1-1 draw against Seville left him with a “feeling of bitterness”, considering that his team was superior and had more chances than the rival.
“I’m not happy with the draw, but I’m proud of the losses, for being against a Champions rival who has spent 80 million on signings “ this season.
The coach praised his captain, the midfielder Sergio Canales, fresh out of an injury and that “He had to play 45 minutes and then he stretched those minutes to 70”, reason for which he pointed out that the second penalty “It was up to (Nabil) Fekir to throw it away”, because the Cantabrian “was very tired” and the French “is a good kicker”.
In addition, this day Claudio Bravo returned to the court after an absence due to injury.
“I don’t think this game will change our dynamics. We already played well against Real Madrid. It shows that there is a large team that believes in an idea. As long as I’m here, Betis will always go out to win. We seek regularity, we recover it in some moments, “insisted the coach from Verdiblanco.
Pellegrini justified his choices in attack by stating that “If Lainez and Loren played it is because during the week they won it” and indicated that the Mexican winger “has advanced in taking a step forward and making the right decision in the field,” while the striker Marbellí “holds the ball a lot, that’s why he played.”
The Chilean coach wants to activate his players for the second Cup tie that Betis will play on Wednesday in Mutilva (Navarra), since it is “a competition in which the club has many hopes.”
