Manuel Pellegrini (Realu Betis trender): We expected more from our attitude. That we will play faster in this match. Legia played very well in defense. The hosts’ action after the corner kick turned out to be crucial for the fate of the match. Probably if we played one more match, we would see the football we expect from us.

Today, three key players were not with us, including Lo Celso, which prevented us from effectively threatening our rivals. As a result, we did not have the solutions we wanted. There was no balance, no magic, no creativity that these players give. We didn’t get the result we wanted. However, there are a few games left and I hope they will be better in our performance.

I don’t think today’s result was the result of the fact that we are playing the Seville derby on Sunday. You could say that if Lo Celso had been there, something would have changed. We performed well in the central zone and in defense. There would be no change in the result of the match. Whether we win or not, Betis will be the same on Sunday.

Did Legia surprise us with anything? We expected that the quality of Legia players is high. When they play at home, they have a lot of support from the fans and we saw that for 90 minutes. Ultimately, Legia took three points and we will see how the situation will develop in the context of the final classification.

Fans? It is important what the atmosphere in the stands is like, because it can help the team. We knew it would be challenging for us. We saw a team that defended well and didn’t make any major mistakes. What’s more, he committed fewer crimes than us.
