Real Betis was matched against Vitoria de Guimaraes during Frida's UEFA Conference League Draw, which avoided Chelsea during the process. Those associated with Los Verblancos could sigh of this, although the Portuguese side will still offer a very strict test, since they ended in second in the rankings of the competition phase.
The outcome of Friday's procedure now means that Betis cannot be confronted with Chelsea until the final, because they are on either side of the draw. This possibility would be a dream for Manuel Pellegrini, as he told the media during his press conference before the trip before the trip from Sunday to Getafe, according to relevant,. He hopes for a reunion with Enzo Maresca, who was his assistant at West Ham United.
“I sent him a message that we would see you in the final. I didn't care who the opponent was. I wish it had not been Chelsea no more than anything because of the friendship I have with Enzo Maresca.
“If we meet in the final, the better. Both opponents were just as complicated, they first arrived in the group zone. It will not be easy in any way. We are aimed at Getafe and Real Madrid, and then we will try to get the qualification that would be very important to everyone. “
Pellegrini also spoke about how he sees the rest of the season.
“There are still 42 points left and we have to play every game as if it were a final. Getafe is not only admitted to the top, there are six or seven teams in a fairly narrow point difference. We have 14 games and we have to try, as much as we can, to show it on the field to be back in Europe. We play in the conference and we have to work with the team with two games a week with calm and trust. “
