Betis coach, Manuel Pellegrini, acknowledged after the 2-1 victory over Celta, which snapped a four-game losing streak, that his team had not been successful in the first half, but emphasized that in the second they have the “maturity to change” the sign of the fight and take “a very important victory.
“The first half was very balanced and we couldn’t let go. We didn’t do anything offensively, but then we had a very complete second half, with clear scoring opportunities,” assessed the Chilean coach after against.
The coach of Santiago indicated that “in the last minutes” they knew that if a rival like Celta “gives them space, they can do a lot of damage,” adding that the Vigo team “forced them” in the final stage, although Betis knows how to maintain its advantage and “keep the result.”
“I’m very happy with the second half. We made self-criticism after the first, in which we tried to get there by spreading out on the flanks, but we don’t have any opportunities. In the second half we changed and then that we are, which is something more characteristic of what he does this team,” insisted Pellegrini.
