«He is a player who is very important for us. [...] He gives us good football, he gives us attacking momentum», he said.

DLPellegrini defended the performance of Cucho Hernández, who was again important after coming on from the bench.
The coach recalled that the Colombian had already been involved in decisive goals in recent matchdays and made it clear that the substitutes have as much responsibility as the starters.
He also mentioned the rotation with Troy, who started the match, leaving the door open to competition for the striker spot.
Ángel Ortiz gains prominence

DFThe coach highlighted the contribution of Ángel Ortiz, a player who has struggled to find consistency due to injuries.
Pellegrini said the academy player is part of the options he usually has and positively valued that he makes the most of his opportunities.
Rotations assured in the coming matchdays
One of the main fantasy takeaways is that Pellegrini will keep making plenty of rotations between LaLiga and the Champions League.
«It is impossible to play eight matches with one starting XI in 28 days», he explained.
The coach acknowledged that it is difficult to talk about a fixed starting XI and stressed that he can change five or six players without the collective performance suffering.
Therefore, players like Abde, Cucho, Marc Roca or Ángel Ortiz will keep competing for their minutes in a Betis side facing a very demanding schedule.
