Manuel Pellegrini appeared before the media to analyze how Betis arrives at the return of the competition, in which Elche will be visited at the Martínez Valero this Sunday. His statements were as follows:
Equipment status: “I see the team well. It has been two weeks in which we have been able to work calmly after a long time, so that, everything is calm.”
Nursing: “Rodri could not play with the National Team because he had problems and for this week he will not be available. Guarded is suitable.”
Losing streak: “Internally there is no type of drama. Externally I cannot analyze it. The team is aware of what it did well and badly. For any Betis fan to see their team fifth after a third of the season … if they tell them at the beginning of the season I think it’s to be happy. “
Derby: “The derby has a very clear reading. Eleven against eleven we had the chances and Bravo did not make a stop. With one less the analysis is over. If you play with ten you cannot press in the opposite field, you have to be intelligent. We tried to hold on to have some backlash but they found a great goal. For me, an eleven-against-ten game has no analysis. “
Reasons for the downturn: “You have to draw conclusions from all the games. The conclusion of a week cannot be different from that of three months. Football is present, it is analyzed and the next game is something completely different. I am not guided by the past” .
Sabaly: “Seeing its evolution and the need to get ready, I think that in January it will be in conditions. Before I see it difficult.”
Joaquin: “What happens at the end of the season we will analyze. Now it is premature. Joaquín is important to us, he has played the entire Europa League and is very useful for us. Everything that is next year, not just Joaquín, It will be analyzed at the appropriate time. Now we are focused on trying to beat Elche. “
Need to win: “All games have to be won regardless of what has been done before. You have to have the coolness to analyze the championship within a total context. We cannot think that no one would ever win against us.”
Fekir: “He is aware of what he did. It was difficult to know how many games were going to fall to him. We have to accept it and now it is time to show in Europe that there is a squad here and not just proper names.”
Cup: “We face it the same as last season. It is another alternative to reach Europe, to play a final, to be able to play a Super Cup … We are going to take it with the same seriousness as the rest of the competitions.”
Problems without the ball: “One feels comfortable when one surpasses the rival. We measure ourselves to Champions teams and the important thing is that the team is within the expectations that the club and the fan need.”
Transfers: “The team has already shown that it is competitive in what it can do. This team finished on the 15th, arrived in Europe and today it continues in these positions. This team has my full support.”
Elche: “We will see what is the best way to replace Guido. Elche, like all the teams in the League, have very good players. They are the most difficult opponents because it is the game that we have to play.”
