Real Betis will play three very important points tomorrow, Thursday, starting at 9 p.m. at the Benito Villamarín against the NK Celje Slovenian in the match on the third day of the Conference Leagueand Manuel Pellegrini has spoken about the moment in which the green and white team arrives at the match, after seven out of nine in the league and having added only one point out of six in the first two matches of the continental competition. But he has also been asked about the state of Giovani Lo Celsoafter the one from Rosario has returned to exercise under his command in training yesterday, Tuesday and today, Wednesday.
«It has already started to move more, surely he will continue training these days with the group. Then comes a break and there are FIFA regulations that must be complied with and that marks everything. We would have liked it to have stayed herebut he has to go. Let’s see how he evolves and if he can have some minutes against Celta on Sunday,” said the Chilean coach about the playmaker. Furthermore, he did not want to discuss the call with Argentina to play against Paraguay and Peru on the next FIFA date in November: «Everyone knows that he is not there to play two games. There is a permanent contact among the technicians of the Argentine national team and our doctorsso they will assess how much it is for. It is integrating and between Friday and Saturday we will see if it can be summoned against Celta to play a few minutes«he warned.
Regarding the match against Celje and what Betis is starting to play in the continental tournament, Pellegrini commented that «getting one out of six was not what we had thoughtwe wanted to start tying up the pass in this competition as soon as possible. If we want to continue in this competition we must start winning in threes from tomorrow. The rival? For me, the most complicated is always the next one. They have a coach from here, who is Albert Riera, who knows Spanish football perfectly. They are teams that are used to going out to win in their leagues. We have to play a very complete game, not only with the ball, but also without it. Outwardly, it is thought that they are easy rivals, but the coaches know that There is no rival in Europe that is inferior if the maximum is not given.”.
Questioned about whether both he and his coaching staff and also the team feel a special pressure to start adding three by three Since the match against Celje, Pellegrini replied that “we are not sorry for the results, we have to feel it because we want to continue in this competition. We have additional pressure, perhaps, because you can’t keep losing points and we have the importance of qualifying.”
In addition, Manuel Pellegrini responded to these other questions:
The youth squad Ángel Ortiz, due to Bellerín’s blow – «He is a player we know, he has trained with us many times. He is in the reserve team alternating with Busto, who today played in the Youth League. Given the losses of Bellerín and Aitor, it is most likely that he will be called up tomorrow.
The evolution of Marc Roca – «It has not been as we expected and it is still painful. After Sunday comes another fifteen days and I hope I can be there for the return. But it’s difficult to give a deadline, it still hurts.”
After 7 out of 9 in LaLiga, is it the best moment of the season? – «If we go to the numbers, seven out of nine and playing away against Osasuna and Athletic and at home against Atlético, the performance is very high and very good. So that’s where I’m happy. The start was bad, we lost a lot of points. They are different moments of the season that happen for many reasons. As a coach, you always want to have the majority of players available. We have had significant casualties in the same area of the field and it is up to the coach to assess the alternatives, whether it be a change of system with two forwards or making three changes at half-time. Then there is the execution of the orders by the players, because the idea is there, the idea is easy.
His relationship with Sergio Canales – «We talked a lot with him the years we met here, also since the captaincy he had. He spoke to me and told me that he understood that his stage was complete and the club also understood it that way. “I am very happy for him, because he has tried a new competition, he is playing very well and with a great coach like Martín Demichelis.”
