Pellegrini
maintains the illusion of beticismo with a new victory, also deserved, with a precise, concise and exciting game.
A two to zero without nuances against an indolent Valladolid.
Six points and to follow.
Things soon went wrong for Valladolid in a stadium, Benito Villamarín, which had been given fetén in the last two seasons.
Betis came out focused and fine from the whistle.
Stepping on the opposite field by mandate.
Not even ten minutes had passed when a past
Emerson
center
, which
Álex Moreno
redirected as best he could, reached the vicinity of
Óscar Plano
.
The midfielder tried to clear, but did not connect with the ball, which continued on its way and hit his right arm, extended like a wing.
Jaime Latre
consulted the VAR and decreed a penalty.
Fekir, without a run, threw powerful and at mid-range to
Roberto's
left
, who threw himself wisely, but did not get to pat the whiplash.
When the locals were still celebrating the goal,
Moyano
showed the bench his inability to continue on the field.
He retired within minutes injured.
It was all bad news for
Sergio González's
Valladolid
.
Betis was comfortable.
He played quickly, in the hot zones, very covered in the back, with a double pivot that suits him perfect, like the Ramones' leather jacket.
In the 18th minute, a vertical play by the Verdiblancos led to a Canales shot well blocked by the Pucelana defense.
The ball rebounded, but
William Carvalho
, without letting it touch the grass, only in the section of the area, destroyed it against the rival goal.
A goal that would have set the bleachers on fire, today empty, and that had to be content with pushing the sofas at home and stirring the hearts of the teammates on the bench.
Valladolid did not react and wandered the field throughout the first half.
Only
Sergi Guardiola
, fighting in the middle of the desert, without any ball to quench his thirst, put some ferocity on a squashed and knocked out team after the magical start of the premises.
Three new players left the dressing room in the Blanquivioleta eleven.
Kike Pérez, Pablo Hervías and Shon Weissman
sought to regain the pulse of their squad, without tension, light or hope in a choking match.
The shock was balanced in the first minutes of the resumption, with more intrepid and deep visitors, stalking the border of
Claudio Bravo
.
But the thrust did not turn into glossy occasions.
Barely flares fading poorly between fingers.
Pellegrini answered by taking Fekir off the field and giving Tello minutes;
more speed up, with the intention of ending the shock in a counterattack when Sergio González's men burned their ships forced by the clock.
Joaquín
, dry, and
Borja Iglesias
, somewhat cold, left their place for
Sanabria
and
Juanmi
.
There were still twenty minutes to go, but the game was going through a wasteland.
Pellegrini was calm and Valladolid definitely off.
William Carvalho and
Guido Rodríguez
gave meaning to the game of the Andalusians in the core.
They frightened the rival imagination.
They tightened, they temporized, they managed to keep Betis wise, firm and protected.
The minutes passed with calm for the guests and silent frustration for the visitors.
Neither
Orellana
, nor Guardiola, nor
Míchel
, could display their talent.
They fell into the Pellegrini funnel and from there, without points, back home.
