Betis builds its plan to achieve its goal of going to Europe for the fourth consecutive season. It has Manuel Pellegrini in charge of operations and in the near future an express revalidation of only one month is proposed: four games that can vary its current negative dynamic, the last of them being the derby against Sevilla on April 28 at the Benito Villamarin. A month in which Pellegrini wants to correct the recent past after signing its worst streak of results in three years. The Chilean has much more in his hands than getting to the expected derby well. He also knows that a large part of his hopes of closing the continental ticket are found in this coming period that will measure his real aspirations.
Girona, Celta, Valencia and Seville. A road of trials until reaching the long-awaited Sevillian derby, the same one that still raises numerous pending issues with Pellegrini. He doesn’t believe too much in thorns in the side, but he knows that the clash against the Nervionenses can also mark his team’s campaign to a certain extent, both due to the weight of the match and the need to score points in that particular battle to reach the places. Europeans for next season. The need for a turning point It is clear today: the green and white team has suffered three consecutive defeats in the League, has lost some defensive consistency and has still not found the offensive reliability that it did seem to outline during its previous projects.
There are numbers that invite optimism in Heliópolis despite the fact that the sensations are not the best. In his last three campaigns as Betic coach, Pellegrini added a notable amount of points to certify European qualification, although in none of them did he find himself with this disadvantage with nine games remaining. With Villarreal, he also became an expert in signing notable League closings in more than one campaign. And he landed in Malaga in the middle of a problematic season to end it with five wins in its last seven games. In Heliópolis they are crossing their fingers that the month of April opens the way to a recovery that seems obligatory if you want to dream of the derby and Europe.
