“The dart of Manuel Pellegrini”. This is how the Spanish sports press defined the “Engineer’s” response to Jorge Sampaoli after the 1-1 draw between Betis and Sevilla.
The Chilean coach reacted at a press conference after being asked about the statements made by the trans-Andean coach, who stated that during the game “we were superior in all facets of what happened on the court and we deserved to win the game. They were very close behind and it was difficult for us to enter.”

¿ What did Pellegrini answer?
“I check it again and I don’t remember any save by Claudio Bravo before the goal. It is logical that they are happy with the draw. They are in a bad position in the table and the point serves them“, he stated, pointing out that Sampaoli’s team appears in 17th position in LaLiga.
“I don’t remember a chance for Sevilla to score in the first half , I know who deserved to win the match 11 against 11. With fatigue, we were more sheltered behind and Bravo’s two saves came”, he added.
Pellegrini, considering that he suffered two expulsions and the rival one, concluded that “the point isn’t bad, but the way the game went, we could have won the three points“.
L he statements were confronted in the Spanish sports program, El Chiringuito, who reacted after the “Engineer” said: Are they happy? That team is small.”
