Many things are missing from this Betis chronically mediocre but this year there is one that surely not: coach. Has a plan Manuel Pellegrini, to which they continue to penalize the deficiencies of their staff. Very tired many of the players, also mentally exhausted after the painful elimination cup against him Athletic on Thursday, the Chilean decided to temporize with his best pieces, went ahead with intelligence and kept the game alive until the end, even with all the cracks of the Barcelona over the field. Pride does not feed, but at least it deserves to be reviewed, because it can be built on.
What will Betis give this unbalanced squad and serious financial problems for? For now, to at least live in the eaves, make the rubber with the positions above. To go next weekend to play a good part of his options to enter Europe, if not all, in The ceramic before him Villarreal. You can’t ask for more from a coach whose team was hardly reinforced last summer (not to say that it was not reinforced) and who also this winter has lost the striker who had used the most, Tonny Sanabria. A handful of homegrown players that hardly counted, the best Channels, a more practical version of Fekir and the recovery of footballers like Borja Iglesias The Juanmi at least they keep the illusion alive.
