Pellegrini acknowledged that his team had a poor first half, possibly due to overconfidence. He noted that even though Valladolid was struggling, any team can cause problems if they lower their intensity.

However, Betis turned things around in the second half and secured a crucial win that keeps them in the running for the Champions League places. Pellegrini hopes his team can maintain this form until the end of the season.

Pellegrini also discussed the top four race, saying that as long as the math works in their favor, they should believe they can achieve their goal. He emphasized the importance of not making mistakes and staying focused on the next match.

Betis is currently six points behind Athletic Club, but Pellegrini is optimistic about their chances. He believes that by staying calm, enthusiastic, and ambitious, his team can achieve their goals.
