Justice was done: Spanish media praised Pellegrini’s visit to Madrid and criticized the press for mistreatment | Soccer

–

The Spanish media Mundo Deportivo recalled this Friday the outstanding performance presented by the Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini with Real Madrid in the 2009-2010 season, despite not winning the Spanish league.

In addition, the publication came out to defend the passage of the ‘Engineer’ in the merengue store and regretted the ruthless criticism of a sector of the press, mainly the Marca newspaper in Madrid.

“The coach with the highest percentage of victories in the ‘Florentino era’ is not Zidane, it is the Chilean Manuel Pellegrini, who won 75% of the matches he led (36 wins in 48 duels), ”he wrote.

Pellegrini’s Madrid fought the league to the end with a practically unbeatable FC Barcelona. The team led by Josep Guardiola almost reached 100 points in the campaign and won the tournament with a difference of only three units.

The black stain of the Chilean strategist in his time at the White House was the 4-0 setback against the humble Alcorcón in the Copa del Rey, in a fact called the ‘Alcorconazo’.

“The mistreatment of Pellegrini during his time on the Real Madrid bench was as unfair as it was constant”, indicated Mundo Deportivo, who remembers some covers against the former DT of Villarreal, Málaga and Manchester City.

“He was the victim of sensational covers. ‘You’re fired, Manolo’, ‘Pellegrini, go now!’, Or ‘Goodbye Champions, Goodbye Pellegrini. OUTSIDE. Colorín, colorado … Pellegrini’s Chinese tale is over, “he said.

“It was a campaign of harassment and demolition against a man who was accused of being useless and incapable, without aptitudes to take a team to the top. Overall, he was only ‘only’ able to add 96 points with Real Madrid in LaLiga, some champion numbers if it had not been because Pep Guardiola’s Barça left until 99, “he said.
