The Verdiblanco coach has thrown a dart at ‘The Special One’
Manuel Pellegrini He has given a lot to talk about in the preview of the duel against AS Rome of Jose Mourinho, where the controversy has ignited. Both squads will compete on the third day of UEFA Europa Leaguewhere the Italian team needs a victory to continue fighting for the leadership of the group.
Let us remember that as for those of the Benito Villamarinaccumulate a perfect score, with two key victories that leave them as owners of group C. In addition, this match becomes quite spicy because of the two coaches, since they have had clashes in the past, which have repercussions now.
Pellegrini does not save anything against Mourinho before Roma – Betis
This is how Manuel Pellegrini has kept nothing to himself with Mourinho and has thrown a dart at him before the game. He has remembered the words of the Portuguese on that occasion where he succeeded him in charge of Real Madrid. “The step that Mourinho has taken going to Roma was taken by me ten years ago going to Málaga”. It was the strongest sentence.
It should be noted that The Special One said at the time, when he arrived at Real Madrid, that he would never train a team like Málaga CF. On that occasion, this phrase became viral, but then the Chilean was able to take revenge. He has taken advantage of the fact that the Portuguese has taken a step to a club with challenges and not one of the greats.
The ‘Engineer’ has spoken about his time at Málaga CF
“I think that a bit of the same thing has happened to Mourinho: he was in the elite of football and now he also lives from challenges.” It is another of the phrases that Pellegrini has launched at a Mourinho who has had to lower his cache to recover his reputation. And it is that in Tottenham and Manchester United he has left through the back door.
We will have to wait then for what may happen with this meeting. For now, there will be some controversy in his preview and it is expected to be an electrifying duel. Neither will want to lose, since there is a lot at stake and it will be decisive to get the three points. For now, the Betis coach gets a thorn from the past with the Portuguese.
