Manuel Pellegrini did not hide his concern about Real Betis’ lack of goal against Atlético de Madrid, as they dominated possession of the ball and had clear chances to open the scoring. However, they ended up losing.
“I don’t know if two faces are so opposite. I was very satisfied with what we did in the first half. We lacked precision to finish the number of arrivals to the area and have more chances. In this match it was very important to score first and Atleti found the goal at 20 seconds (of the second half) ”, said the Betis coach at a press conference.
Along the same lines, he complemented that “It was essential to try to score before, we went out to do it all the first half, the team played a very good first half, but missed the goal ”.

“A team like Betis, with those 45 minutes, with the number of chances we generate, we have to be a little more calm to finish the last pass or the definition with precision“He added about how difficult it was for the team to equalize the score.
On the level of the team, he pointed out that “we are in a stage of operation where it takes a while to have a regularity, but to the extent that we are showing that we can play as equals to any team we are progressing ”.
“We have to keep what we did in 45 minutes to the full game”Said the Chilean coach, who did not dramatize more than necessary for adding a second loss in a row for the Spanish league.
