After Real Betis defeated Getafe 1-0 at home in Round 6 of La Liga, Pellegrini spoke to the media.

On his team's victory, Pellegrini said: "It's not easy to get 15 points out of a maximum 18, especially after beating the Ligue 1 leaders away in the Champions League. This is a very encouraging start, and it also comes with high demands. We must continue to work hard to achieve the highest position possible."

Speaking about the match against Getafe, Pellegrini said: "Getafe is a difficult opponent; they defend with great determination and are very strong physically. Fortunately, we scored that goal. We had three or four other good chances to extend our lead. Defensively, we were excellent, and the opponent barely threatened our goal. If we couldn't score a second goal, we must learn to keep a clean sheet while controlling the match in the opponent's half and continue to look for goals."

On Abde scoring after a difficult spell, Pellegrini said: "He hadn't played regularly for a long time, nearly four months. So we limited him to a maximum of 70 minutes. Now he has to rejoin the Morocco national team. Abde is a very important player with strong attacking ability and can make a difference for the team."

On Dos Santos's form, Pellegrini said: "I'm very happy he stayed. He's an important player, perhaps not yet mature enough in his first season in Europe to show his full ability. He's a different kind of player, very willing to accept criticism and can adapt to multiple positions. As long as he maintains this form, I personally want him to stay because he needs time to adapt as a new arrival at the club. During preseason, he also played as a center forward and can help the team greatly."

On whether Abde touched the ball with his hand before the goal, Pellegrini said: "I didn't see it, and frankly, I didn't watch the goal replay, so I can't answer. But even if that goal didn't count, we had other shots that hit the post. Real Betis deserved the victory; Getafe defended well and is a difficult team, but they barely really threatened our goal."

On the team's unbeaten record at La Cartuja, Pellegrini said: "This is very valuable; playing away from home is always difficult. Although La Cartuja has welcomed us warmly, Benito Villamarín is our true home, closer to where we're from. The team has adapted to this place, and the fans always support us with great enthusiasm. Statistics always tell a story, and I hope we can continue this form in front of our home supporters."

Pellegrini said: "I want the team to be consistent, not just perform well in one particular phase of the season. When we work together as a unit, even with seven player rotations, we can still maintain the same level. We believe in what we're doing. We've lost matches and come back from behind, always trying to get three points. Getting 15 points from six matches is not easy; only Barcelona has done that. Furthermore, we also got three points in the Champions League, which will help a lot. We must avoid complacency, especially given the team's current form. We lost to Levante, but that helped us recover before Real Madrid. The team knows how to criticize itself, and the goal must be to aim for the championship, but based on the quality of our play and our work."

On the situation with D. Llorente, Pellegrini said: "We have four players in this position, two right-footed and two left-footed, and Nabil can easily adapt to the other side. Bartra is 35 years old, and it's good to reduce his midweek load. We're managing this situation. The international break is coming up soon, and I hope D. Llorente can return to full training with the team this week."

On Valles potentially being called up to the Spain national team, Pellegrini said: "I'm very happy for Álvaro Valles; he has performed very well this season. We have Diego injured, and Manu is coming back from behind; he has also done well, and I hope he can maintain consistency. It's difficult to be a national team coach; everyone knows Luis de la Fuente is capable of choosing the best players, and it's not my job to decide who gets called up."

On Ceballos's return to La Cartuja, Pellegrini said: "Of course that's very important. He's a player who came through our academy and then played for Real Madrid for eight full years, and it's not easy to stay there that long. He came back with great enthusiasm, and there were other options during that time, but he waited until the final moment because he wanted to come back here, to come home. Now he's become a very important addition to the team."
