Five to one, Betis washed the Riasso Stadium with a terrifying score!

This not only created the biggest score in the second leg of the Cup 8thfinals, but also the biggest "unpopularity" in this Cup of REE so far! []

You know, before the game, almost no one thought that Betis could complete a comeback at Riyaso Stadium with a draw in the first leg and given the opponent three away goals!

But the fact is that the Betis not only did it, but also did it beautifully!

Of course, some media do not agree that Betis' victory is a "unpopularity".

Lucas, editor-in-chief of Daily Sports, wrote in his column: If in the second round of the Cup of del Rey, when Betis eliminated La Liga third Mallorca, some people thought they were just lucky. After Betis swept La Coruna five-to-one at the famous Devil's home court, this voice should have disappeared. A victory may be luck, but successive victory should be a reflection of strength!

In the league, we can see that this young Betis team is definitely considered to be of super strength. It has almost become unsurprising that they return to La Liga as the first in the league this season. The successive victory in the collision with La Liga teams in the King's Cup also indicates that after they return to La Liga next season, they may set off a youth storm in La Liga!

If someone praises it, then someone will naturally be pessimistic.

The sports editor-in-chief of "Seville City" Terman is as firm as ever, and continues to be Black Betis and Black Tang Feng.

In his post-match column, he believed that Betis' victory was not glorious. He believed that the turning point of the game was the sending out of the La Coruna team De Jaminha. He wrote in the article that this was a conspiracy against De Jaminha planned by Tang Feng. He also listed the performance of Cascro's anger at De Jaminha again and again in the game. He called "this is a very unprofessional behavior" and said that this was a "immoral tactic" arranged by Tang Feng!

However, Terman's argument did not receive much response after the game.

Even La Coruna did not express his support.

In an interview after the game, Iruetta did not criticize Cascro's approach. He just expressed helplessness at Dejaminha's hot temper: "If he (Dejaminha) can control the number of red cards to two or three in one season, then he will become the World Footballer!"

However, when asked about this question, Dejaminha seemed a little disdainful, and his response was: "Fuck the World Footballer!"

Dejamingha's swear words once again reflect his rebelliousness.

Tang Feng was also inevitably asked this question after the game, and his answer was very clever: "Dojaminha caused us a lot of trouble in the game. So, I just told Cascrolo that he must focus on taking care of Dejaminha in this game. Although I do not advocate rough defense, sometimes, when facing a player like Dejaminha who is difficult to guard against, defensive players are always inevitably forced to use some unconventional means. Of course, maybe some of Cascrolo's actions are a bit too much. But no matter what, hitting people on the football field is ultimately awful. Fortunately, my players were not injured!"

Tang Feng's reply also won him the reputation of "protecting his calf".

Tang Feng didn't care about this. In his opinion, as a coach, he should have done his best to protect his players. Especially for players like Cascro, who follow his own arrangements and earnestly complete the tasks assigned to him, Tang Feng naturally could not let him be under heavy pressure. Therefore, he would rather take all the pressure on himself!

This "moral theory" did not last long. Because soon, La Liga and Spanish Second League rekindled the war.

In the 23rd round of the game, Betis played a rotational lineup against the league's mid- and downstream team Elche at home, but was unexpectedly tied by the opponent 1-1.

However, with the huge league lead, people don't care too much about this draw.

After this round of league, the draw results for the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey also came out.

This time, Betis's luck can only be said to be neither good nor bad.

In the quarterfinals, Betis also has three Spanish Second Division teams and five Spanish La Liga teams.

Betis once again drew a La Liga team, but avoided the strong team and only drew the relegation team of Real Sociedad this season.

After continuously eliminating Mallorca and La Coruna, Betis fans generally do not think that Real Sociedad can stop Betis from entering the semi-finals.

In addition, this game is also the game where the Betis team's absolute main player in the midfield now faces the old master.

As early as the winter transfer, news that Real Sociedad wanted to buy Xavi Alonso back was spreading all over Spain.

At that time, Betis fans were very worried that the young midfielder would not choose to return to the parent team.

Fortunately, the final result was that Harvey Alonso stayed with Betis. Moreover, in the second half of the season, he had appeared in the game as a captain several times. Betis fans knew very well that if there was no accident, he would most likely become Betis' next captain!

After the lottery results came out, Xavi Alonso also accepted an interview with local media in Seville.

When asked how I felt against my old club, Xavi Alonso also expressed his true feelings: "Real Sociedad is my home, and now it is. My father and my brother are playing football there. However, now I have become a member of Betis. And I enjoy playing football here. Facing my old club in the game always makes people feel a complicated mood that is difficult to explain. However, I am a professional player, and in the game, all I can do is help my team win!"

Harvey Alonso's brother, Mikel Alonso, also accepted an interview: "Rejecting Real Sociedad's call and staying with Betis is Harvey's own choice. Now it's very clear whether this decision is correct or not. But our family respects his decision. In this game, I don't know if there is a chance to play. If I can fight him on the court, it will be very interesting!"

Although Mikel Alonso was also promoted to the first team, his situation in the team was more embarrassing than that of Xavi Alonso before leaving the team. At that time, at least he had nearly ten starters or substitutes in a season. However, Mikel Alonso had only three appearances after halfway through the season.

However, it is worth mentioning that Mikel Alonso has been in the Copa del Rey twice in these three appearances.

While Real Sociedad League is struggling to relegate, it is not entirely impossible for Mikel Alonso, who is a substitute, to appear against Betis.

Therefore, when the media were hyping up the topic of Xavi Alonso facing the old master, they did not forget to exaggerate the dialogue between the Alonso brothers.

...

Tang Feng was quite satisfied with the draw of Real Sociedad.

Although Real Sociedad's performance in the second half of the season improved compared to the first half of the season, they still did not completely get out of the relegation zone.

Therefore, when they are striving for the league, they will definitely not dare to invest too much energy in the Cup of REE.

In this way, Betis' hope of winning will undoubtedly be greater.

Although he is confident in the team's strength, Tang Feng does not think that the team can defeat Mallorca and La Coruna, and he will definitely defeat Real Sociedad!

Before the game, Tang Feng was still working hard to prepare for this game.

In just three days of preparation, Tang Feng watched almost half of the video of Real Sociedad's game this season.

Especially in some games in the second half of the season, through these games, Tang Feng also basically understood Toshak's tactical style.

Toshak was a striker when he was a player, so after becoming a coach, his team also paid more attention to offense. Moreover, as a Welshman, his tactical style also has a strong British football flavor.

In fact, the style of playing British football is indeed more suitable for a Basque team like Real Sociedad with a tough style.

Real Sociedad's player composition is somewhat different from another Basque team, Athletic Bilbao.

The local players in Real Sociedad also have Basque blood, but in order to ensure the team's strength, they have activated several foreign players.

Lithuanian center Jankoskas, Turkish forward Aliver, Russian midfielder Korkhrov and others are all international players of their respective countries. This has a strong complement to their strength.

Among them, Jan Koscas, who is 1.91 meters tall, is Real Sociedad's most threatening attacker this season. He has scored 11 goals for Real Sociedad in the league and the Cup of Rey this season, making him the best scorer in the team!

After gaining a comprehensive understanding of Real Sociedad's tactics, Tang Feng also made targeted arrangements.

In the team, although Tang Feng still did not make his ambition public, the players obviously had hope for the Copa del Rey.

The league upgrade is basically guaranteed, and the King's Cup has reached the quarterfinals again. It seems that the whole team of Betis can't find a reason not to continue fighting in the King's Cup!

With this feeling, the entire Betis team rushed to Basque and was preparing to participate in the quarterfinals of the first round with Real Sociedad!

...

On the first night in February, Betis and Real Sociedad's first leg match officially kicked off at Real Sociedad's home court Arnoetta Stadium!

In this game, Tang Feng discharged a four-four-two formation!

Villa and Adriano started together again. In the midfield, Tang Feng once again tried Xavi Alonso as a single midfielder. Arteta, who is also a Basque man, also got the opportunity to face his hometown team today.

Xavi Alonso and Arteta were good playmates as children. The two who also loved football chose two different paths.

Arteta was discovered by Barcelona at the age of fifteen and recruited into the Lamacia youth training camp, while Xavi Alonso stayed in his hometown and entered Real Sociedad in his father's footsteps back then.

However, after a while, the good guys completed the reunion in Betis.

Now, as two of Betis's midfield cores, they must have a different feeling when facing the hometown team together, right?

In Real Sociedad, this game did not send out the main players. The forward line was the partner of young forwards Lorent and Jan Coscas.

This is extremely impactful to the forward combination and will pose a great threat to Betis' air defense capabilities.

In the midfield, Mikel Alonso appeared in the starting lineup, which made many reporters shine.

...

Standing in front of the coach's seat, Tang Feng could feel the fanaticism of Basque fans.

Although Arnoetta Stadium can only accommodate more than 30,000 people, the atmosphere created by Real Sociedad fans is not worse than the atmosphere of more than 50,000 people in Lopela Stadium.

Of course, this atmosphere is for Real Sociedad. For the visiting Betis, this place is definitely a region!

Especially Xavi Alonso, who returned to this stadium as a "rebel"!

Xavi Alonso has always been a young genius who is more favored by Real Sociedad. When he was sold, many Real Sociedad fans felt sorry for him.

However, the reality that the coach at that time was not interested in Xavi Alonso made them understand Xavi Alonso's departure. However, after the new coach Toshak took office, he publicly expressed his trust in Xavi Alonso, and also said that if the club could buy Xavi Alonso back, he would be willing to let Xavi Alonso become the team's captain.

This also allowed Real Sociedad fans to see hope for the return of this talented player!

However, what angered them was that Harvey Alonso rejected Real Sociedad's sincere invitation!

For a Spanish Second Division team, it refused the call of the old club of the La Liga team, which is unacceptable to the tough Basque fans!

Therefore, Xavi Alonso inevitably brought the title of "Judas".

In today's stands, some posters of Xavi Alonso, who were painted as pig's heads or demons by Basque fans.

Moreover, when Xavi Alonso appeared, there were neat boos from the audience.

After the boo, some fans even used their own songs to satirize Xavi Alonso's approach of "abandoning the light and turning to the dark".

As the father of Harvey Alonso and Mikel Alonso, Peric Alonso also appeared in the stands today.

Originally, as a father, it should be a happy thing to see his two sons competing on the same stage.

However, when he saw the treatment he suffered by his youngest son, he was undoubtedly very worried about Harvey Alonso.

He was worried that Xavi Alonso would perform abnormally under such tremendous pressure.

As a Real Sociedad, he is happy to see the opponent's main midfielder's performance incorrectly. However, as a father, he does not want to see his son perform poorly. This makes him feel very contradictory!

Compared to Peric Alonso, who was a little nervous in the stands, Tang Feng on the sidelines was full of confidence in Xavi Alonso.

He had high hopes for Harvey Alonso, and he also had a steely heart, a young Basque man.
