Real Betis achieved a memorable 2-1 victory over Real Madrid on Saturday, and they stimulated their European qualification superficials. They moved to the sixth with that result, and if they end there, a place in the Europa League of UEFA Conference League would be their next season.
It was a fantastic version of Betis against the defending champion, and according to Diario AS, head coach Manuel Pellegrini was full of praise for his side.
“I am very happy, but not only because of the victory, but because the team was faithful to his peculiarities. We went out for the game, we had more opportunities and I am very happy with the personality and the performance of the team. The first 15 minutes we reduced the spaces, but we did not attack the ball, we lost it very quickly. From that moment the game was ours. '
Pellegrini was also asked about Isco, who scored the winning goal against his former club, while he also won the MVP prize from La Liga.
“I think individual versions are always important. Isco has a great level and infects the team with its quality and physical dedication. I will take the number of opportunities and the few times that Real Madrid came. “
Betis has now won three in a row in La Liga, and although this turnaround has been impressive, Pellegrini does not believe that much has changed earlier.
“The fundamental is not to change anything. Against Celta we have lost with many scoring opportunities, you must have the ambition to know what the team should be like. Not changing helped us to win these three games in a row. “
Pellegrini was also asked about the early replacement for Kylian Mbappe, which Carlo Ancelotti also spoke about during his own press conference after the game.
“I can't put myself in Carlo's head. What I saw was a betis with the personality to go for the game, not for the result. '
