The powerful reflection of Manuel Pellegrini after the case of racism suffered by Vinicius Junior

Manuel Pellegrini’s Real Betis continue their fight to secure European participation next season. In preview of the shock against Getafe this Thursday, the Chilean coach took the opportunity to reflect on what happened with Vinicius Junior who accused racism in the middle of the match between Valencia and Real Madrid .

During the conference, the Engineer maintained that “it is a subject that there will be experts to analyze and evaluate. We have to be careful what we say and what we do because if a minority shouts nonsense, that does not mean that a country is racist. . To qualify a stadium or a country by few or many people is not fair. I don’t think Valencia or Spain are racist ”.

A sentence that contrasts with what Carlo Ancelotti, coach of the meringues, said after the match ended on Sunday. On this occasion he said that “I spoke with him during the match. The atmosphere was very hot, very bad. I asked him if he wanted to continue playing because the atmosphere was racist, it does not seem fair to me . I never thought of removing a player for racism. It never happened to me, not like that. The Spanish League has a problem, which is not Vinicus”.

The Italian DT added: “I am very sad. We have to end it because we are in 2023, racism should not exist. Now it’s true that there is a protocol, the referee explained that you have to warn people first and if they do it again, go home ”.

Already focused on what will be the next game in the Hispanic league, Pellegrini’s side have the chance to secure European qualification for the third consecutive season. In this regard, the engineer said that “We wanted to seal the game with Sevilla, we didn’t manage to do that, we added a good draw and we kept our distance. Now we have to try it at home, with our fans to give us the joy of supporting us all year ”.

Of course, if this goal is confirmed, the Chilean has warned that he will go further. “When the almost, almost ends, we will see how I celebrate it. Let’s wait for the realization. Win tomorrow we will go again after trying to climb as high as possible in the last two days . If you asked me if I would have liked to be like this at the start of the League, I would say yes; There have been better and worse times, as in the previous ones”.

Still about Getafe, he pointed out that they are a “complicated team, because Getafe’s situation for salvation is difficult. There were two points left (Elche) and a closed game, hopefully. You have to be focused for 90 minutes because they have very good attackers “, he launched.

Finally, he spoke about Miranda’s expulsion in the derby against Sevilla, one of the situations that the Verdiblancos had to avoid, as he had indicated when approaching said match.

“Juan himself apologized, he realized the important mistake, he did not know how to control himself. It was not a hot derby, he made a mistake, apologized and is awaiting a sanction. The important thing is that Jesus was not hurt “, he concluded.
