Manuel Pellegrini outlines Roma’s strengths ahead of Europa League clash

Real Betis boss Manuel Pellegrini spoke to the media after his team touched down in Italy earlier today.

The experienced technician touched upon a number of topics, clarifying that his relationship with Mourinho is cordial, the two having buried the hatchet a long time ago.


“Mourinho and I have mutual respect for each other,” he said.

“Fekir will be available tomorrow,” Pellegrini added. “We’re doing well, and have had three full days to recover and prepare for this match.”

“Dybala is one of the many quality players Roma have at their disposal. Roma made a huge investment by signing him.”

“We will give 100% effort tomorrow night, it will be a pleasure to perform in front of our travelling fans whom we always rely on.”
