As he prepares to face the classic against Sevilla, the Engineer delivers the keys to give to take command of the Team of all.
Manuel Pellegrini’s Real Betis are preparing the final details to face Sevilla in the derby on another day in the Spanish League. Despite this, the Engineer takes the time comment on the conditions he needs in case he is offered to take command of La Roja .
“In a globalization of improving Chilean football, there must be a job in time that allows us to qualify for the World Cups through a job, and not a face or a seal in the qualifiers . So yes, I would like to participate before I finish my degree. But as things go, it is very difficult for Chile to thrive in their football “, he explained in dialogue with Kenotrotamundos.
“There must be a program with concession and financing allowing the activity to progress “, he completed.
He also took the time to comment on his personal situation in Spain. “I feel very fulfilled, firstly because after being a player I made a difficult decision: to be a coach while being an engineer and to have a construction company that was more or less functioning. I wanted to continue in what I liked and it allowed me to have a career of almost 35 years, of which 24 continuously abroad “, he assessed.
Seville derby
This Sunday from 3:00 p.m., Betis will visit the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán stadium in a new classic for the city. The white and red team arrive with the highest morale despite their position in the Hispanic tournament table after reaching the Europa League final in midweek.
“We already know the importance of this game, even more so when it takes both of us to reach European positions . Sevilla still have a chance to achieve a place via the League and not rely solely on the Europa League to be in Europe next year. He competes well on both fronts,” admitted Pellegrini in the pre-match press conference.
He also ruled out having an advantage due to Verdiblancos’ bigger rest. “Many times playing on Thursday it takes its toll on Sunday but being the derby I’m sure we’ll find a competitive Sevilla ”.
Asked later for failing to register any wins in the league classic, Pellegrini said: “I personally don’t focus on any game. Last year we knocked them out of the Cup and we won it. In La Liga we drew, we lost, with expelled… but my concern is that Betis have the most points at the end of the season . If in these points we beat the eternal rival, it’s even better, but it would be very poor to win the derby and finish 14 or 15 in the standings. In this framework, of course, we know how important it is to win against Sevilla and we always try in each of the matches. ”.
Finally, he pointed out one of the keys he must take into account to avoid surprises. “The expulsions were decisive in having fewer points than we would have had under normal conditions. In the first leg we had two dismissals with 1-0 which allowed Sevilla to equalise. In derbies, there are always more possibilities than that, because the external environment is intense. You have to play it with a warm heart and a cool head so as not to have this kind of error ”.
