He Real Betis Tomorrow he will say goodbye to 2025 in his match against Getafe, alive and well in the three competitions in which he participates. In the Cup and the European League, he awaits a rival in the national tournament and certifies the diploma between … the first eight (which is no small feat to save two play-off matches in February) of the continental competition; in the League, in the base camp of sixth place to face the rise to higher levels. Nothing to ask peremptorily of the Three Kings. Manuel PellegriniInstead, he winked at Santa Claus at the end of the match in Murcia, in case he could spur the reindeer on and arrive in time to give him something tomorrow.
“The three points against Getafe,” he suggested. The coach knows their importance well, because if in other competitions his pace is firm, in the championship the team stumbles more than it should. Without ever falling, that’s true, but sufficiently unbalanced not to move forward as he should. It’s not something subjective. You have to go down to the tenth qualifying step, occupied by tomorrow’s rival, the Getafeto find a team with fewer point returns in its last five games. Six out of fifteen.
Nothing worrying in the absence of twenty-one days still to play, especially when after the Christmas holidays you will be able to count on fundamental pieces, in confinement and creativity, which support the viability of the realization of your objectives, different in those who dream them, present in the Council, and in those who, being awake, face the requirement to give them solidity.
We published yesterday that Pellegrini became the coach with the most victories in the Cup, Europe and League after turning another page at Murcia, surpassing himself Lorenzo Serra Ferrer. I’m sure the Mallorcan will be happy. And he would do it even more if he saw “his” Betis in the Champions League again, a cherry on the cake that he managed to achieve. The Chilean too, but in other clubs. And it would not be about breaking another record, nor feeding his vanity by achieving it with Betis, but for his well-demonstrated love of the thirteen bars.
