The head coach of “green and white” Manuel Pellegrini shared his expectations from the future decisive confrontation.

“We enjoy this moment. This is the result of all the work we have done this season. This is the first European final for Betis, but we are very sure that we will be able to give our fans a reason to celebrate.

To win, we have to remain the same team as they were before. I said many times: you need to be able to manage emotions, because one big mistake can solve the result. The physical condition of the team? We have some doubts about the physical readiness of several players, let’s see if we will be able to solve it by tomorrow, and then we will determine who will be included in the main staff.

Thanks to all the rotations we conducted, we were able to qualify the European Cups before the league was completed. Chelsea was the same. But tomorrow is another story. We have a good rest, this is the last match of the season, and we will try to exhibit the strongest composition to win the tournament. Chelsea’s readiness? I am sure that Chelsea has already recovered after what happened on Sunday.

As for my relationship with Enzo Maresska, I He sent him a short message at the group stage: “See you in the final in Poland.” And when we really got there, I called him and said how glad to play the finale against him.

Anthony’s progress? When he went to us, he wanted to revenge! We would like to leave it here, but it’s not easy when it comes to a player who was paid 100 million. He is a very good player and I’m sure now a wonderful time for him to continue developing his career in Betis, “Pellegrini quotes words UEFA official website.

Real Betis – Chelsea will take place on Wednesday, May 28, at 22:00 Kyiv time.
