Manuel Pellegrini was satisfied with the performance of Real Betis players against modest CD Ibiza Pitusas Islands, de Segunda RFEF, against which they had to work hard to overcome the round of 16 tie in Copa del Rey “First of all, happy to qualify. They are always complicated games because of the motivation of the rivals. They played a good game, they gave everything. They took the lead, but we kept calm because we knew that playing at the right speed and with intensity we will have spaces to turn the score and pass”.
Real Betis is the current champion of the Cup and had to play in a multi-sports field, with ancient stands for almost 1,000 spectators -many others were eventually located in extra stands-, something that was complained about of the Betis coach about: “I was surprised “It turned out to be a better show, with more people and avoided the press conference in a cafeteria. They would have had their reasons but it would have been a better show”.

Pellegrini did not want to highlight any player in particular and praised the performance of the whole team: “I liked the collective performance of the team. Before the goals we had three or four chances. The fact of having a loss makes us more mature as a team, not to lose hope or play fast on a field that is difficult to play, because it has some imperfections. I am happy for the performance of the whole team”
In the round of 16 there could be a new cup derby against Sevilla FC, which they eliminated from this tournament a year ago, something that does not concern the Chilean: “Neither one thing nor the other. It should not be avoided or will do. I like it or dislike it. What touch the draw will be hit, we are in the round of 16 and there is only a little team left. The draw seems fair to me. What is that keeping the Second Division in their field seems logical to me. , but it’s also difficult for anyone to touch ” , Pellegrini said about it.
