Real coach Pellegrini feels heat

Posted byadmin October 28, 2009

<div>Pellegrini is under the spotlight after his side’s disastrous Copa del Rey defeat.</div> <p>” /><br /><b>Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini is under intense pressure after his side’s humiliating 4-0 defeat to third-flight minnows Alcorcon in the Spanish Cup.</b></p> <p>Real have struggled without the Portuguese star, but fielded a strong side at Alcorcon including strikers Karim Benzema and Raul. Defensive frailties again cost them dear and they were behind after 16 minutes when Francisco Borja scored. Alvaro Arbeloa scored a disastrous 22nd own goal to put the home side 2-0 ahead and in the 40th the unmarked Ernesto Gomez tapped home a third. Borja scored his second and Alcorcon’s fourth early in the second half and they comfortably held out against the assorted Real stars. “The truth is that it feels like a dream,” Borja said. But defeat for Real was a nightmare for Pellegrini, who reportedly was involved with a halftime argument with midfield favorite Guti. They trail arch-rivals Barcelona by three points going into Saturday’s match against Getafe and with Pellegrini’s job on the line.</p></p> <div class='yarpp yarpp-related yarpp-related-website yarpp-template-list'> <!-- YARPP List --> <p>Related posts:</p><ol> <li><a href=N.
