«I don’t see any finished cycle»

Benjamín Zarandonaformer Betis player, attended this week the event organized by the Verdiblanco club Foundation to present the Report with the activities they carried out last season. One of the initiatives on which the Heliópolis team has focused its attention is the creation of football academies in different countries. Indeed, Benjamín is working on this initiative in his native country, Equatorial Guinea. The former footballer was linked to the thirteen bars team for eight seasons and after his departure he has always boasted about this club.

At the event, Benjamín spoke to 101 TV and did not hesitate for a second to support the role of the Chilean coach. «Pellegrini can be at Betis as long as he wants because he has proven it. “He has never complained about anything, he has done what he counted on, taking the club to European competition,” he said, making it clear that he has no doubt that he is one of the key pieces of this team.

The truth is that since he signed for Betis in 2020, he has managed to qualify the team for European competitions four consecutive years and has won the Copa del Rey. Benjamin recognizes that “I don’t see any finished cycle” and the coach has contributed «stability to the club». Furthermore, he states that he does not remember a coach who has been linked to the Betic team for so many years in a row and on top of that “has renewed.”

The Heliópolis team does not have an excessively high budget, which means that many of the players who shine at the club end up receiving more ostentatious offers. A handicap that the coach faces in each transfer market and still maintains good results. «Also, with a small budget, with few signings, with good signings who, on top of that, get injured, when one stands out they transfer him… it is a miracle. “He’s doing phenomenal.”Benjamín has sentenced.
