Nabil Fekir One more season is the player who receives the most fouls from LaLiga. In the first 21 days of the championship, the French midfielder has suffered 60 infractions, more than any other player in First division. A situation that begins to bother and a lot in the Betis, as confirmed this afternoon by his technician, Manuel Pellegrini.
Questioned by the lack of a goal by the world champion, who only adds a penalty in LaLiga This season, the Chilean coach has alluded to the difficulties he is encountering Fekir due to the hard play of their rivals, which rarely finds an answer in arbitrations, recalling the last case, last Thursday in the match of Cup in front of Athletic Club.
“I think he is a player who gives everything. He wants to score himself. He has not been able to do it in play, he has done it from a penalty. It is difficult for him to score also because he is the player who must receive the most fouls in all LaLiga. The match against him Athletic it was a shame, I think there were at least 10 or 12 kicks that he was hit during the whole game. Kicks that were of expulsion “, has claimed Pilgrims.
The Betis asked for the second yellow for Yeray up to two times during the game, the first, due to a hard kick from behind in the center of the back and without the option of fighting for the ball precisely at Fekir. The referee of the quarterfinal match of the Cup, Hernandez Hernandez, did not see it that way and decided not to expel the central defender from the Basque team.
“And Fekir He does not have the protection of the referees, every time he receives the ball he goes to the ground, that is why it is very difficult for him to progress. But he does not surrender, he continues to fight, it is very important for the team both in passing and in the importance it has in our game, “he insisted Pilgrims.
“Hopefully I can score, but I think the issue of skillful players, the way they stop Nabil It is not correct, far from it. The rivals know not to let them approach their own goal. Hopefully from here he continues to improve that aspect and be able to score because he also finds it necessary, “concluded the Chilean coach, very vindictive with the situation.
