Manuel Pellegrinicoach of Real Betisspoke to the media in advance of the first round match of the Copa del Rey in which the green and white team will visit the modest Gévora in Almendralejo. The green and white coach analyzed several issues and confirmed that Fran Vieites He is chosen to be the goalkeeper in this competition, ahead of Rui Silva (starter in LaLiga) and Adrián (goalkeeper for the Conference).
«It is Fran Vieites’ opportunity to start playing in the Cup. He will play in full. Unfortunately, we could not register it due to bureaucratic issues at the Conference. He has the option to demonstrate his qualities in the Cup, which are many,” said the Betis coach.
Pellegrini added that “the team faces the match with enthusiasm“Just as we do in all the competitions we have to play, we have to play seriously to win and for it to be a match that requires individual performance.”
The youth players Mateo, Jesús Rodríguez and Guirao will be in the squad, as Pellegrini himself announced while warning that only four players with a reserve team record (these plus Assane and Mendy) could coincide on the pitch. «In each of the competitions we play, of course, we always have the mission of winning them. You have to go in with that mentality and you have to try to demonstrate it after the entire playing field. When one goes away, it may be because the rival was truly superior. In the Copa del Rey we had a very painful elimination against Bilbao, against Athletic a few years ago, in the last 120 minutes, with a header. So, luckily, the following year we were able to win it. It was a very important achievement. We were able to win it with all the Betis fans. He really enjoyed it, too, with the final being here in Seville. AND I wish this year we could give you some important joy as well.«.
Meanwhile, he talked about the recovery of Lo Celso and the footballer’s plans to return to Betis – Celta. «This last stage is very important, it is your recovery. That can be said more by the medical team than by my opinion. I am more or less on the estimated date according to what the doctors told me. The latest evolution is always very important when work loads increase. So I couldn’t give you an answer at this time,” he said.
Finally, Pellegrini spoke again about the speed in attack and the chances generated last Sunday against Atlético at home. «We have already talked about it before. It is a characteristic due to the quality of the players we have. They are fast players who will surely improve their aim. It is difficult to create so many chances and they generate so few for us,” he said.
