Pellegrini: Fighting to qualify for the Europa League, Isco’s recovery is faster than expected, but caution is still needed

In the 11th round of La Liga, Real Betis defeated Mallorca 3-0 at home. At the post-match press conference, Betis coach Pellegrini praised the team's comprehensive performance and that they even had the opportunity to gain a greater score advantage.

Pellegrini said: "I think we were very accurate when shooting. The opponent barely threatened us, and we missed four or five completely unguarded goal opportunities that could have expanded the score."

On how to respond when facing a dense schedule. How to manage the lineup, he said: "I always focus on the next game. The lineup against Mallorca is the best choice. Next we will work hard to form an important team to win in the Europa League and qualify." Betis will face Lyon on Thursday night local time.

Pellegrini emphasized: "We must win Mallorca at home, especially after losing to Atletico Madrid (0-2) in the last round. We have to keep our place in the European competition."

When asked about Isco's return time after fractured fibula, he said: "It is difficult to know when he will be back. There is still a week before the international break, and then two weeks will come. The club will observe Isco's recovery during these 21 days. Although his recovery may be faster than expected, it still needs to be treated with caution."

Talking about having to play at the La Cartuha Stadium due to the construction of the club's stadium, Pellegrini said: "The Villamarin Stadium will always be missed, but La Cartuha can also meet the demand."source:7m ty so truc tuyen
