107 Total War!
The 13th round of the Spanish Second Division will start this weekend, and the storm center of this round of Spanish Second Division will undoubtedly be transferred to Seville, the capital of the Andalusian region!
Because what is going to be held here is the highly anticipated Sevilla city derby, and it is also the "Fight of the King of Heaven" between the top two in the Spanish Second Division! []
In the Spanish Second Division standings, Betis ranked first with an unbeaten record of nine wins and three draws.
Sevilla followed closely with a record of 8 wins, three draws and one loss!
Therefore, Sevilla only needs to win this game to tie Betis in the standings.
In fact, the so-called Spanish Second Division championship does not have much meaning. For most Spanish Second Division teams, it is enough to be able to enter the top three to ensure an upgrade.
But the situation this year is different. For the top two teams, Sevilla and Betis, they are unwilling to be under the mortal enemy in the city!
Sevilla coach Capalos publicly expressed his determination to win the game in an interview before the game: "Since the beginning of the season, we have been behind Betis. This is very unacceptable for the club and the fans. Therefore, we have been waiting for the arrival of the Sevilla city derby. Because in this derby, we can get the chance to defeat Betis and complete the catching up with them!"
When asked if he had the confidence to break Betis' unbeaten golden body this season, Caparos replied confidently: "Why not? I believe that the unbeaten record will always end, and this derby battle is when Betis' unbeaten record ends!"
In addition, Sevilla's captain, central defender Jose Miguel Pilt, also showed his determination to win this game in an interview!
"We can't forget the tragic strength of last season. Fortunately, Betis was also relegated to Class B with us. This gave us a chance to revenge immediately! Although this time it was a away game, it would not affect our confidence in winning!" Pilt said confidently.
Sevilla's central and frontcourt core, Uruguay international Oliveira also accepted an interview with the media: "Through the study of Betis, we found that their defense line was not outstanding. Therefore, we will have many goals in this game. We only need to grasp a few of them, and the victory will belong to us!"
His Uruguayan compatriot, center Salayetta, also agreed with his statement: "That's right! We will have many opportunities in this game. I will seize these opportunities to break through Betis' goal!"
Also attracting attention is Sevilla's golden boy Reyes, the 17-year-old young winger has become a hot supernova in the Spanish arena. He is also called Sevilla's Joaquin!
Reyes expressed his dissatisfaction with this title: "No, no, no, I am not Sevilla Joaquin, I am me, Reyes. I am the left winger, and he is the right winger! Our styles are also very different. I believe you can feel this in the derby game!"
...
Faced with the provocation of the Sevilla, Betis did not give in at all.
Tang Feng was asked by the media about his views on Sevilla coach Capalos's statement.
"Yes, I don't think there will be a general on the football field! I also believe that our team's undefeated record will always end one day. But I can be sure that this scene will never happen this weekend! Because, the winner of the Seville City Derby will only be one team, that is Real Betis!" Tang Feng said with a little arrogant tone. He knew very well that in the Seville City Derby, which is like a war, he did not need to be polite to the other party. He would just say his thoughts directly to get the response from the fans!
"I haven't forgotten my promise at the early season meeting... I've returned to La Liga as the champion of the SSE 2nd! My team and I are walking step by step on such a road, and we will not allow others to stop our progress!" At the end of the interview, Tang Feng said firmly. This sentence has a bit of domineering aura of "whoever follows me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish"!
Tang Feng's words also received responses from the players!
This season, due to physical fitness and condition issues, the old captain Alexis, who has gradually faded out of the team's starting lineup, publicly expressed his support for Tang Feng: "I believe in Tang! Although he is very young, he is a very outstanding coach! There is no doubt about this! In this weekend's Sevilla derby, no matter whether I can start or not, I believe the team will laugh to the end!"
The Betis defenders who were despised by Oliveira and Salayeta of Sevilla, also stood up to express their opinions.
As a famous Spanish iron-blooded central defender, Pablo Alfaro has always been famous for his bad temper. The opponent's attacker actually blatantly despised his defense line, which made him feel greatly insulted: "At Lopela Stadium, I will let those Uruguayans taste our defense! I will use my shoe studs to tell them that at Lopela Stadium... it's not their turn to go wild!"
Similarly, Adriano on the front line is also a key figure in the game. He said in an interview: "Yes, I've been feeling great lately. I will keep this form until the weekend's Sevilla derby! I enjoyed the feeling of scoring at Lopela Stadium. I believe I will experience this feeling this weekend!"
Betis's Golden Boy Joaquin is also inevitably compared with Reyes, and he also expressed his opinion on this: "He is a very talented young man. But I think Vicente in our team is more threatening than him. Vicente is Spain's future left-wing king!"
...
The players and coaches of the two teams started a war of words off the court before the game started, which is the favorite scene of the media.
After their reports of the piping, the fans of Sevilla's two heroes have already prepared the fighting spirit in advance, and they are just waiting to fully explode in the weekend game!
...
On the evening of November 18th, Luis Lopela Stadium!
The stands of the Lopela Stadium, which can accommodate 55,000 fans, were decorated in red and green colors by fans of Betis and Sevilla.
In this derby, Betis Club only gave Sevilla Club 5,000 tickets, which means that the number of Sevilla fans in this stadium is only one-tenth of Betis fans!
Sevilla fans wearing dark red jerseys were squeezed into a corner of the Lopela Stadium!
However, their enthusiasm did not restrain itself due to the disadvantage of numbers. They had already sang their team song before the game began...
"Sevilla, Sevilla, Sevilla, a team that brings together blood and courage!"
"Sevilla, Sevilla, Sevilla, this is a burst of red and white shout!"
"Sevilla, Sevilla, Sevilla, that's the call of the players from Pisjuan Stadium!"
Seeing that Sevilla fans were actually acting wild on their territory, Betis fans were also angry. Nearly 50,000 fans at the scene also sang Betis's team songs together.
Soon, the song "Betis! Betis! Betis!" overshadowed the song "Sevilla! Sevilla! Sevilla!".
It can be said that before the game began, the battle started between the fans of the two teams!
In fact, today, not only in the Lopera Stadium, but almost the entire city of Sevilla was filled with red and green colors!
As the game approached, the streets in downtown Seville began to become empty, and crowds rushed into the bar, or came to the square in groups, waiting for the start of the game!
As the game started, the air in the city of Seville seemed to be stagnant!
...
"The competition is about to begin! Although both Sevilla players fell into Class B this year, their direct dialogue is still one of the most popular games in Spain! Judging from the atmosphere in the stands today, the popularity of Sevilla's city derby has not decreased at all due to the relegation of the two teams. Even as the championship rivals in the Class B League, the competitive atmosphere between them has become stronger..."
As a commentator of Spanish state television, Jessus also appeared in the commentary seat at Lopera Stadium.
The Sevilla Derby is known as the Spanish National Derby, the Catalonia Derby and the Madrid Derby.
So, even though Sevilla and Betis are both in the Spanish Second Division, the derby between them has become the choice for national television broadcasting!
...
"Ohhh! We have a magical Don! Ohhhh! He is the youngest coach in Spain! Ohhhh! He can always create all kinds of miracles! Ohhhh! He leads us invincible!"
In the stands at the Lopela Stadium, after Betis fans suppressed the voices of Seville fans with their team songs, they sang another fan song that has gradually spread among Betis fans recently... "The Song of Magical Tang"!
The lyrics are very simple and the tune is catchy. Therefore, almost many fans can join the chorus after listening to it on the spot!
Flora, who was in the stands, was humming the song with the fans.
Through this song, she could feel the fans' love for Tang Feng. For some reason, she also felt a little proud in her heart. Perhaps because he is his own... little brother?
...
The "magic Tang" in the minds of Betis fans, and the "little brother" Tang Feng, the boss's wife, is making the final preparations in the locker room!
"Great Betis warriors, are you all ready for battle?" Tang Feng suddenly said in a powerful voice after the players warmed up and returned to the locker room.
Warriors?
The players were very curious about this fresh title, but they still replied with great momentum: "Prepare!"
"Maybe you are curious about why I call you that! The reason is very simple, because the Seville Derby is no longer just a simple football game, but a complete war! And you, as the representatives of the team, will become the warriors who rushed to the forefront of the war! Don't think I'm exaggerating! In fact, the Seville Derby will never be spent in peace! If anyone among you is not ready to join the war, you can tell me now that it's still time!" Tang Feng said with a serious face as if he had turned into the marshal of the army at this moment.
"How is that possible! We have been preparing for this battle for several months!"
"Yes! No one would want to miss this battle!"
"We are warriors! brave warriors! How can we miss this battle?"
...
After Tang Feng's passionate speech, the players also felt the blood in their bodies boiling.
Which man has never dreamed of becoming a soldier, a soldier, and making achievements for the country?
At this moment, Tang Feng successfully aroused the dreams in the hearts of the players!
Hearing the players' answers, Tang Feng nodded with satisfaction!
"Since you are all ready, then go to the battlefield! Use your fighting spirit to defeat the enemy and tell them that this is our territory... they cannot be violated!" Tang Feng said passionately, then waved his hand!
Chapter completed!
