Manuel Pellegrini He appeared before the media this Wednesday, at the press conference prior to the duel against Athletic Club. Betis is playing the pass to the Copa del Rey semifinals, with a squad that mixes young people and experienced players.
“The squad is made up of young, experienced players. This allows Rodri, Paul and Aitor to soak up more experienced players and increase their performance. It has been useful that they have worked with us and to me as a technician it gives me options to look for alternatives. In that I think there is a mixed squad and that is very important, “said Pellegrini.
Claudio Bravo still has to wait: “He started working on the court with Doblas. He had been making the last stage of recovery and by next week he should be in a position to enter a list.”

Market analysis: “I said that Betis was not going to bring any player. I was not in the economic conditions to do so. I am very satisfied with the squad, one as a coach always wants to have more resources but there is an institutional and sporting reality. The squad has responded within the Expectations. Sanabria’s departure weakened a position and we raised Yassin who is coming to replace Camarasa. Now he has the opportunity and we hope to finish the year as well as possible. “
Yassin Fekir, one more alternative for Betis
Pellegrini values the virtues of Yassin Fekir: “Now he has a chance to play in the first team. Before he didn’t have but he has been training from the beginning. He is a midfielder who replaces Camrarasa a bit, he is technical and very skilled. For my taste he is a technically very good midfielder of creation” .
Borja Iglesias, starter in Cup: “I try to make the best formation to start in each of the games. Then, through changes and actions, one can have variants. We have said from the beginning that the only way to continue is to use the entire squad. We have done it Perhaps one is tempted to leave only one eleven but you have to share minutes “
