The Sevillian club missed the opportunity to closely monitor the teams fighting for a place in the next Champions League by losing 0-1 against Elche.
Manuel Pellegrini’s Real Betis haven’t had a good time this Tuesday. The Sevilla side ended up losing 0-1 to Elche in a key game to continue fighting for the next Champions League spots.
This was reflected in the Spanish press. Diario de Sevilla reported that “Betis squandered a good chance to give authority in the fight for the Champions League places, falling beaten against Elche who had a good game ”.
“The Betis team lacked lucidity and a little more clarity of ideas in attack , missing the best version of Canales and Fekir to generate much more in attack. In general, a very low-key game for those in Heliopolis,” they added.
In turn, ABC Sevilla said that “it could not be. Betis fell beaten from the minimum by Elche at the gates of the big day. And that Betis jumped in with the desire to show that they have enough energy to wait for the Cup by competing in La Liga. Therefore, Pellegrini opted for several starting players despite the fact that one of the most important games in the history of the Verdiblanco club was near. ”.
Estadio Deportivo, meanwhile, wrote that “Real Betis were beaten at Benito Villamarín in a match where they did everything to win and ended up losing . Betis had the best chances, especially with shots from the edge of the box from Sergio Canales.”
“The Chilean coach made up to six changes ahead of the Copa del Rey final, although he left important players such as Canales, Juanmi and Fekir on the pitch. even if in the second part he had to shoot the titular theorists, ”they added.
Finally, El Desmarque barely rated Pellegrini with a rating of 4 for his proposition against Elche. “It won’t be because he didn’t try. FHe was brave with the XI, betting on many starters and with the changes, but the team lacked clear-sightedness, mental freshness and something more biting in the three-quarter area. . Goodbye to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” they stressed.
