Manuel Pellegrini brands La Liga as a 'DISGRACE' as it has 'the most time-wasting, the most dives'

Real Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini has branded LaLiga a 'disgrace' as it's constant time-wasting and diving makes it 'the slowest league in Europe'.

The former Manchester City and West Ham manager has endured a difficult start to the season with the Spanish club, drawing their first two matches of the season against Mallorca and Cadiz 1-1.

Betis played Friday night's stalemate with Cadiz in front of 23,000 fans at their Benito Villamarin Stadium but Pellegrini claims the Spanish teams owe it to the fans to improve their ways as players are spending too much time on the floor.
