Manuel Pellegrinitechnician of Real Betis, was left somewhat upset by the goalless draw his team achieved against the Real societywhich he believed dominated the field of play despite the fact that the San Sebastian men dominated the early stages.
“I am very disappointed. Maybe we did a first half with a lack of creativity, without coming. They didn’t create chances either. But in the second half we were absolute dominators, created clear chances on goal . I think their first shot was in the 91st minute. But they are taking a very important point that we need”, said the Chilean after the match.
“In the first half we had little mobility. Against a team that pushes like Real Sociedad, you have to have mobility to find space. In the second half we improved, in defense we were good in whole game,” said Pellegrini, for whom the key was in the lack of intent his team once again showed. “The goal is missing, against these teams you have to score them,” he commented.
When asked if Real Betis’ chances of getting into the top four were complicated by this tie, Pellegrini’s answer was as follows: “I don’t know what’s complicated. We’re fifth and we’re fighting for in the Europa League. Everything else is wishful thinking, hopefully “Let’s maintain the level of the second half for the rest of the season. As long as there are mathematical chances to achieve it (the Champions League), we have to fight for it. Then let’s see if we can achieve it or not.”
