From the club the possibility is filtered that He will not be signed in the winter window despite the losseswhich does not mean that the sports management is in Active search for a midfielder in case a feasible opportunity presents itself to reinforce a position tremendously diminished by injuries.
As it could not be otherwise, Manuel Pellegrini was asked in today’s press conference if he considers it advisable to go to the market to reinforce the team in the month of January. His response was somewhat surprising.as he aligned himself with the entity’s position and was not too enthusiastic about this possibility.
“I’ve always said it, I don’t think we need new names. If the economic conditions are not there to bring in an important player, I don’t think that will be a reinforcement. We have to see what the best solution is, calmly, seeing what the resources are, seeing what the needs are,” said the green and white coach, who stated that he has more important things to think about right now.
“It is not a topic that, at least, I have in mind at this moment. We are focused on these last nine games that we have to play in a month, in less than a month. Afterwards we will outline the situation, to see what is needed. “We are with this team and we will continue like this,” Pellegrini pointed out bluntly, who obviously also referred to the match against Valencia, with very special connotations and to which Baraja’s team are leaving after a month without competing as a result of DANA.
“You lose the rhythm of competition, on the other hand, it allows you to recover injured people. If we think we are going to win because they haven’t competed for a month, we won’t do it. We are going to play an intense match against an opponent who has a non-football motivation. We know what has happened, we are all very worried and I hope people’s problems are solved soon,” said the Betis coach, who does not see Betis as a favorite.
“Football is the most popular activity in the world, because you don’t know what can happen in the next game. All the games are different, the performances and the circumstances, too. Osasuna had just beaten Barcelona by four goals and we went there and We won. That’s why football is what it is. We have to try to overcome a difficult rival and show greater demands,” said the ‘Engineer’.
