The Iberian media do not forgive the Engineer that his casting continues without obtaining good results at the international level.
Real Betis did not go beyond a draw against Copenhagen in the Conference League. The 1-1 score signed this Thursday complicates Manuel Pellegrini’s team, which in its debut lost by the minimum score against Legia Warszawa. On this occasion, Abdessamad Ezzalzouli opened the account, but Kevin Diks finally equalized. The score caused the annoyance of the Spanish media, who did not hesitate to criticize the Engineer.
“It looked like his team settled for a 1-0 and ended up paying dearly for it. The coach will also be responsible for this. Before the match he said he was prioritizing La Liga, maybe it would infect the team. He misread the changes. His Betis continues to be nobody in Europe. This is what the figures bear out. they wrote in The uncheck.
For its part, the newspaper Seville Journal made an in-depth analysis of the Betic moment. “New disappointment for Betis Manuel Pellegrini on his European face. The Engineer commented that the defeats against Legia and Sevilla had things that were not appreciated at all, but ended up being decided by specific actions such as corners or penalties. Today, it was again a maximum penalty which deprived the Betic team of three points. But it goes further. There is no European cachet to anyone in the entity and disappointing nights tend to be the usual” they pointed out.
Meanwhile, from the capital, the newspaper Brand He also believes that Pellegrini’s men disappointed. “More than 47,000 people went to Benito Villamarín this Thursday with the hope that their team would join the Conference after the disappointment of the first in Warsaw. However, they encountered a Bétis which either does not want to, or, what would perhaps be more worrying, cannot do so in Europe. Not even a lead on the scoreboard was enough for Pellegrini’s team to add their first three points in the competition against Copenhagen. His conservative, contemplative and unambitious football ended up being punished by a rival who, with very little, snatched a draw that set off all the alarms in Heliópolis,” they point out.
