Manuel Pellegrini I was very happy with the excellent group stage that Real Betis performed in the Europa League, where they were the best team among the 32 participants. · I’m happy with this balance in the group stage. It is not easy to make 16 points out of 18 in a difficult group. I’m glad we got through this stage, win the group and go straight to the round of 16″, pointed out the Chilean, before commenting on the derby that “this is the next game and we have to give it importance after coming out victorious today without thinking that others. I am satisfied with the attitude the team has to play with”.
Pellegrini launched a message to those who think Real Betis are a clear favorite against the eternal rivals. “The worst, believing that the table indicates the favorite team. The derbies are different. We are going to have a good time, but that does not mean anything. Sevilla went through a bad time, but their squad value is the same as when they achieved fourth place last year. You have to play a complete game in attack and defense against a Champions team, Sevilla is not normal. We will certainly find ourselves a very difficult rival”, he warned Pellegrini in the press conference after the victory against HJK.
Pellegrini returned to hand possession to Rui Silvafor the derby he can play Claudio Bravowho has been warned of a Europa League suspension, having already seen two yellow cards, as Pezzella and Paul: “Decisions are focused on this game. We thought it would be better for Rui to play before Claudio for various reasons.”
