No, they didn’t like those words at all. Manual Pellegrini has Jose Bordalas. The Chilean, at the end of the Betis – Getafe which ended with a victory for the Greens and Whites (2-1), highlighted once again the way the Blues play, alluding to the loss of time and interruptions that make the spectacle of football difficult, which was interpreted by the Spaniard as hypocritical because part of Pellegrinito which he did not hesitate to respond this Friday in preview of a new day of The League, Getafe-Leganes.
It was a very demanding match, which was decided with two goals from Giovanni Lo Celso and who was encouraged in the final straight with the objective of Mauro Arambarrieven though the Azulones did not have more time to add in the final stages.
“I don’t want to talk about this match alone, we already know Getafe’s style of play,” he said. Pellegrini after the end of this match, making disparaging references to the game of Getafe and making a general criticism about it: “The technicians, the players and the referees, all of us, have to give much more to respect the show. In Spain, they play the best football, but the sense of spectacle does not exist. A lot of time is wasted, players throw themselves to the ground, there are simulations, the game is shortened… I am happy that in the extra minutes we dedicated ourselves to playing and not cheating. “We all have the obligation to improve the sense of spectacle.”
The words of PellegriniA few days later, they receive a direct response from Jose Bordalaswho asks for respect and specifies that he considered that the statements of the Chilean constituted an offense to him and to the Getafe: “It’s not the first time he says it, I continue to stick to the same statements as the previous one. I have the greatest respect for coaches who respect others. For those who don’t, I don’t have to. It’s a very difficult job. “It doesn’t seem right to me that there is an attempt to condition or justify.”
But the words of Bordalaswho followed and gave a lesson to Pellegrinireflecting Chile’s double standard: “What I should have done Manual Pellegrini“If he loves football as much as he says, it is because he caught the attention of his players when they were winning and they were behind or the balls did not appear and when the referee had to warn Rui Silva because he had not served since goal.”
“It’s part of football but we have to be respectful of our teammates if we want healthier football and not try to condition ourselves,” he concluded. Jose Bordalaswho extended his criticism to Manuel Pellegrini to others with a similar speech against the Getafe and his style of play, more physical and fierce: “Imagine if I came into the press room and said I’m afraid I don’t know what team we’re going to face and I asked the referees to do their job well. And some coaches do that. “They’re not respectful to their teammates or to the referees who should be allowed to do their job.”
