He Real Betis has decided to wait until the last minute before traveling to the Czech Republic and has exercised this Wednesday morning at the Luis del Sol Sports City, in the third and final preparatory session before traveling this afternoon to the Bohemia region to face FK Mladá Boleslav this Thursday on matchday four of the Group Stage of the UEFA Conference League. The Verdiblanco coach, Manuel Pellegrini, will have to make do with bobbins, because he barely has enough personnel among the seven who are injured, those who are not registered (either in List A or B, for youth players) and those who are found among cotton. In this last sense, Ez Abde has been the last to set off alarms with his absence in today’s morning session and becomes the umpteenth casualty.
A message to the board: “We need a squad sufficient for three competitions”
Pellegrini spoke about all this at the end of training, when he went through the press room in the company of Giovani Lo Celso to analyze the preview of the clash against Czech team Mladá Boleslav, which is in 33rd place out of 36 teams, with zero points. in their locker after losing in the first three days of the Conference. Real Betis, for its part, has four points out of nine after beating the Slovenian NK Celje (2-1) after drawing against the Danish FK Copenhagen (1-1) and losing in the debut against the Polish Legia Warsaw (1- 0). “The team always wants to go out with maximum intensity. To maintain the intensity while also playing during the week, you must have a sufficient squad to be able to compete in the three tournaments.. We have many casualties and many injuries, but the team has to try to show its face and go as far as possible. The only game that didn’t leave me satisfied was the one in Poland, where we didn’t have any intensity. The rest were balanced, we have been adding points and we are confident of being able to be in the next round.”
Ez Abde, last minute loss at Betis; Fornals, good news
“Go away He woke up the other day with a fever, he has a viral illness and his throat is very sore.so he is not fit to play and will not be included in the squad list. We don’t know exactly what it is, the doctor has to check him between today and tomorrow to determine it, but he won’t be able to be in this game.” In this way, the Moroccan became the bad news of the day; the good news was the presence of Pablo Fornals exercising partially after missing the visit to Mestalla. Defenders Nobel Mendy and Héctor Bellerín are still out for physical reasons, as well as midfielders Johnny Cardoso, Marc Roca, William Carvalho and Isco Alarcón. Likewise, Iker Losada and Fran Vieites are not registered for the Conferene and are not traveling either.
A puzzle in the center of the green and white field
He will not be able to count on Carlos Guirao this time either.a midfielder who debuted in the Copa del Rey against CD Gévora and who made his first league start in Valencia, but who is not on List B for Europe. Thus, Pellegrini will have to continue composing a puzzle in the midfield, with a foreseeable turn for Mateo Flores: “Regarding the casualties, I have already said that I am not going to comment further.. Every year there are injuries. On the other hand, we have to have a squad large enough to be able to rotate in the three competitions. Playing from Sunday to Sunday is not the same as doing it on Thursday night, to return on Friday, travel on a Saturday, play again… A person who can play can play everything for one or two weeks. “To maintain performance, play our football and carry out the games as we want, we have to rotate.”
The deadlines for the return of Isco Alarcón
“It is still very difficult to know When is Isco going to return?. He has had a very good recovery in this second phase – he had to undergo surgery again in the middle of a fibula fracture that has already been out for six months – he has no pain and can gradually increase the physical demands. He is starting to warm up with the group, but he is not fully training yet. I always said that we expected him in December, I hope he can be there before the Christmas break; But everything will depend on how your evolution progresses as your work intensity increases.. “I still can’t say when he will be able to play.”
