Pellegrini wants to win against Real Madrid
The Betis coach, Manuel Pellegrini, tried to assess the importance of the clash against Real Madrid and analyzed the current situation of his team at the gates of a high-flying calendar: “Madrid always goes for everything, even if it comes from a game in which he did not win. He plays soccer very well and shows it in all the championships. That does not mean that we also have opportunities to win. He is without a doubt the most difficult opponent in the League”.
Injuries in the team
Fekir’s injury: “The most important thing is that Nabil is fine, we will wait for the deadlines. He is a very important player for us. We have also said that there is a team and he always knew how to respond until now. Hopefully it’s like that now too.” Absence for the game: “Sergio is recovering, he is getting better every time. He’s not on the list, we’ll see if he makes it to Thursday to play against United. But he has practically recovered”.
Composition of the eleven: “We always look for variants in training, we also change position players. Rodri or Joaquín can play in all those positions”. Prepared squad: “You have to choose an eleven and the five changes are always important. The key is the team spirit to overcome the challenges. Everyone feels important.”
