The Betis coach, the Chilean Manuel Pellegrininoted after the 1-1 draw that ended the derby played at the Benito Villamarín stadium against Sevilla this Sunday that the result “leaves him with little satisfaction.”
“We had the clearest chance, as in Bakambu it was torn -in that play and had to be replaced-, that of Abde, the one from Cardoso”said the coach of the green and white team after the match.
Pellegrini He emphasized that they knew that “Sevilla are strong in the air” and insisted on regretting that they did not convert “chances” into goals, although he also admitted that “it was a fair match”.
Asked about the penalty given by the Murcian referee José María Sánchez Martínez in favor of Betis at 1-1 but later corrected his decision after consulting VAR, saying he did not want to focus “on the result of the match because of a particular game.”
“VAR is never wrong. He (the referee) thought it was a foul, but they called him. Last week Juan Miranda They did the same game with him, with a slap in the face and they took it in our favor,” recalled the Betis coach.
Pellegrini, who indicated that the Congolese striker’s injury Cédric Bakambu may be out for a few weeks and that it may be difficult for him to return for the five remaining days of LaLiga, he also referred to the substitutions of Isco Alarcón and Ayoze Pérez moroccan Ez Abde and Rodri Sánchez.
“The idea was to refresh the team. They made a lot of effort (Isco and Ayoze), lThe two entered the game well and gave it their all,” he argued.
