“I am very happy, but not just because of the victory, but because the team was loyal to his peculiarities. We went out for the game, we had more chances and I am very satisfied with the personality and performance of the team. We reduced the rooms in the first 15 minutes, but we didn't attack the ball, we lost it very quickly. From then on the game was ours. “

Pellegrini was also asked for Isco, who achieved the winner goal against his former club, while at the same time receiving the MVP Prize from La Liga.

“I think individual achievements are always important. Isco has a large level and infects the team with its quality and physical commitment. I will take the number of chances and the few times in which Real Madrid came. “

Betis has now won three in La Liga, and although this turn was impressive, Pellegrini does not believe that a lot has changed before.

“The basic one was not to change anything. We lost many chances against Celta. You must have the ambition to know what the team should look like. Didn't change us to win these three games in a row. “

Pellegrini was asked about Kylian Mbappe's early substitution, about which Carlo Ancelotti also spoke after the game during his own press conference.

“I can't put myself in Carlos. What I saw was a Betis with the personality to go for the game, not for the result. “
