The Chilean coach of Real Betis, Manuel Pellegrinithat after slovak Fernando Daucík (488), Welsh john toshack (480) and French Marcel Domingo (455) the foreign coach with the most games in charge in the history of the Spanish First Division (he has 443), was asked this Tuesday in the press conference before the clash against him Getafe by the controversy provoked last Sunday in the Mestalla by racist shouts at Vinicius.
“I think there are people in charge of studying it and you have to be careful what you say. But it’s clear to me that just because a minority shouts stupid things doesn’t mean this country is racist. I don’t think so Spain be a racist country. It doesn’t seem to me to qualify a stadium as racist, as Mestalla, a city, like Valenciaor a country by a minority shouting stupid things”, insisted the coach of Legs.
Confirm Carvalho’s loss
The coach confirmed the loss of William Carvalho for this Wednesday’s clash against Getafe (10pm) and the presence of Abner Viniciuswhich ended in some discomfort last Sunday’s derby against Sevilla FCwhere Juan Miranda was sent off, so the Brazilian had to repeat on the left side.
Manuel Pellegrini He indicated this Tuesday in a press conference that “William Carvalho He is still in trouble and will not be on the squad list for tomorrow, although it is too early to rule him out for Sunday in Girona, as it is not a major injury. Abner has no major problems, he should be in good condition. Youssouf (Sabaly) plays on both flanks, but Abner should be without problems”.
He also wants to negotiate pellegrini the controversy over the expulsion of Miranda from the derby: “It’s a closed issue, Juan himself apologized. He does not know how to control himself, he is a ball without problems. These are the things that are happening and now we have to wait for the sanction for that play. What is important is that Jesus did not have any problems despite the beating he received.
He expects that the game this Wednesday will be “complicated in the situation in which he is Getafe, They will continue to fight for survival until the last game. It will be a closed game, knowing how the Bordalás teams defend. We have to focus for 90 minutes because they have very good strikers”.
pellegrini He assured that Betis “reached the final stage of the season”, with European qualification close to being certified three days from the end. “If we look at the last season finale and this one, the numbers are very similar. Maybe this year we scored less goals but we improved the goals conceded. If you asked me at the start of the season if I wanted to be here three rounds away from qualifying for Europe, I would have said yes,” he said, assessing the team’s achievements this season.
