The Betis coach, Manuel Pellegrini, declared that one of the keys to winning (1-2) in Pamplona It was the “pressure” put on Osasuna when the rojillos scored.
“I have a positive assessment. We get three points on a pitch where it is easy for us to do so. We played an intermittent game, with better and worse moments. The first 30 minutes were very good,” Pellegrini analyzed about what he saw in El Sadar.
The Chilean highlighted his team’s effort despite the absences: “Despite the defeats, we did not dwell on those who were missing, but rather on those who were there. “They knew how to react in a very difficult phase.”
“He’s a player who delivers a lot all over the field. and he knows he has to concentrate more on the game. This goal will be very good for his confidence,” he said of Argentina’s Chimy Ávila’s goal that gave his team victory.
“The key was to put pressure on them from the start. We recover a lot of balls in the opposite field. Normally he plays long and now he tried it from behind,” he concluded.
