Pellegrini: “It was very important to get out of that pair of defeats and the team responded”

The Betis very needy to Majorca and took three points of great value for the adverse conditions that it presented mainly at the level of injured. I also understood Manuel Pellegrini In the wheel of Son Moix stadium At the end of the game. «It was very important to get out of that pair of defeats but also because we had nine injured and many players of the subsidiary. But I always say it, internally and externally: the important thing is those who are, and if they have to show that they can play on the first squad or why they are part of Betis. The team replied. It was a even matchthey had more danger in the first half with several approaches, but in the second it was upside down and they barely arrived. We return the blow of the first roundwhen we lost in the discount, ”recalled the engineer, referring to 1-2 from Mallorca in Heliopolis with the final both visitors in the extension time.

The play that changes the game is the expulsion of Mascarell because from there the Mallorca stays with a man less and Betis sees the possibility of launching with more determination for the victory. Pellegrini was asked about that play and in case he considered the result of the deserves of one team and another. «I cannot say it because I have not seen it, what I do see is the consequence with the injury of Jesús Rodríguez, which is strong The Chilean said. My opinion about this is always the same. I think the referee always has to review those things, but in this almost his came and saw it … as for the result, I think that in Villamarín we deserved to win and we lost. Today we would not have left bitter with a draw, but we were strong defensively and we turned a good goal ».

Somewhat that allows Betis to approach Europe, where the Bermellón team also wants to be. «I think Mallorca, like all teams, is going through a downturn period. When it is very long it is difficult to achieve the objectives. But if it is cut in a prudent time, it has already demonstrated in the first 20 days why it is in European positions, ”said the Betic coach regarding his rival.
