It’s been four months since Verdiblanco’s side last added three for Benito Villamarín, so the Engineer celebrated the result against Real Valladolid. Moreover, the strategist assured that they suffered more than necessary for not taking advantage of the opportunities generated.
Real Betis celebrates. In a tight match, the Verdiblanco team, which featured bravo claudio as owner, beat Real Valladolid 2-1 . The pucelanos, coming from three games unbeaten in La Liga, presented themselves as a difficult stumbling block at the Benito Villamarín but failed to score.
After the match, Manuel Pellegrini appreciated his team’s victory against a complex rival: “It’s football. We were facing a team that was on a good run. We had chances to score and we suffered for the score, more than for the chances ”, affirmed the Chilean, who assured that he was “happy” with the opportunities generated.
“We got three very important points for us. . We won at home but It’s a misleading result because we had a lot of chances, we didn’t score them and we ended up with them putting balls in the box, but we defended well “, completed the national strategist.
The win is a relief for Betis, who failed to win at home four months ago. The last victory in the Sevillian room playing for the Hispanic competition dates back to October 16. “It was important to win at home and we are happy with the three points. We must not lose objectivity, we are in fifth place, one point behind fourth, but We can’t pretend to win all the remaining matches, that’s not the reality of football. the season is good », underlined the Engineer.
The national coach praised the work of his students, both in offensive and defensive tasks: “There is no easy rival. Against Celta we had three or four chances to score. We are generating good chances, but we need to improve finishing. Until three games ago he was one of the best defenders in the league. Today I didn’t see Bravo making excessive save chances and I can’t fault the defensive work we did. ”.
Pellegrini spoke of the constant failures they had against the rival goal: “What killed us, with so many counters we had, was speed. If we had ten or twelve chances, what we lack is precision and tranquility ”.
Finally, he lowered the profile of the possibility of qualifying for the Champions League and assured that it is more important to watch game by game:The only thing we have to think about is beating Elche and when we get to June we’ll see where we are. You have to win week after week and add up the highest number of points to be as high as possible ”.
