171 We will make Spanish football history!

The farewell of the old captain Alexis adds a bit of sadness to the Betis' home finale this season.

In fact, such sadness is happening around Europe and around the world.

Green Field is like a bus that never stops. Every season, people will board the bus and get off.

After the end of this season, there are absolutely countless players like Alexis who have retired gloriously.

Among them, there may be some world superstars who once shined in the Green Field, and some ordinary players who have devoted themselves to the Green Field for more than a dozen years.

Their fame and honor may vary greatly during their players' time, but at this moment of retirement, their treatment is the same.

They will all receive applause from the hearts of the fans, and will also burn their heroic posture on the green field in the minds of those fans who support them!

...

In the first weekend of June, Betis ushered in the last round of the league in the Spanish Second Division this season. The opponent is Garn, who is ranked mid-level.

Considering that this is the last official game before the King's Cup final, Tang Feng also ranked the strongest lineup in this game.

As a result, the most powerful Betis team also showed strong strength, sweeping Garn with a clean and 4-0 game, giving a wonderful end to this season's Spanish Second Division.

Similarly, after this weekend, the last round of La Liga in the Spanish Second Division was settled.

In the Spanish Second Division, Betis has become the Spanish Second Division champion with 34 wins and 8 draws this season!

Sevilla ranked second by 17 points and returned to La Liga!

The third place competition continued to the final round.

Although Atletico Madrid won a three-to-zero victory in the final round, after Tenerife achieved a reversal in the last round, they still ranked fourth by one point and missed the opportunity to upgrade!

In this way, Betis, Sevilla and Tenerife will appear in La Liga next season, and the highly-watched Atletico Madrid has to continue to sink into the Spanish Second Division for a year!

In terms of the relegation zone, the dust has settled. The four teams of Lerida, Getafe, Elche and Ferro Athletics fell into the Division C!

La Liga rankings are also scheduled, with Real Madrid, which invested heavily last summer, regaining the league championship with an absolute advantage.

However, in the Champions League, they were eliminated by Bayern Munich in the semi-finals and missed the final.

La Coruña, Mallorca and Barcelona are second to fourth, qualifying for the Champions League next season.

Valencia and Celta have been qualified for the UEFA Cup.

Real Ovedo, Santander Athletic and Numancia, three competitors who were relegated to Betis last season, were tragically relegated to Class B this season.

At this point, the leagues of all levels in Spain have come to an end, and the final of the Copa del Rey has become the last important game in the Spanish region this season!

As Betis' opponent in the finals, Zaragoza successfully relegated with one point in the last round of the league. The last few relegation battles undoubtedly consumed a lot of their energy.

For Betis, this was obviously a great result.

You know, since he locked the Spanish Second Division championship five rounds ahead of schedule, Tang Feng has been constantly letting players take turns to rest, and they can be said to be absolutely waiting for their work.

Moreover, the two teams have different mentalities.

Zaragoza has maintained huge psychological pressure in the last few rounds of the game.

The Betis team can welcome this game with a completely relaxed attitude.

Betis also has a huge advantage in preparing for the game. They started observing the situation in Zaragoza almost a month earlier.

As an assistant coach in charge of intelligence collection, Boas brings back the latest Zaragoza videos and the latest situation of their team to Tang Feng almost every week.

After Zaragoza successfully relegated, Boas also brought back the video of Zaragoza's last game before the Copa del Rey final.

The video of this game was watched by Tang Feng and the entire coaching staff!

"Marcelona is such a lunatic! He dared to line up a three, four, and three formation in the last important relegation battle." Looking at Zaragoza's formation in this game, Tang Feng couldn't help but sigh.

"Zarragoza basically uses this formation most of the time this season. Their attack power is indeed good in La Liga. They scored the most goals among the teams in the lower half of the standings. However, their defense is very bad because their conceded goals are the bottom of the league!" Boas analyzed based on his understanding of this team.

"I really hope they will fight us like this in the final!" Tang Feng couldn't help but sigh.

"I've learned that in the previous King's Cup, they have always used this formation. And it was through crazy attacks that they reached the finals!" Boas gave his own reply.

"Then let's see who has stronger attack power in the finals!" Tang Feng said excitedly. His favorite is the team that dares to play against his team!

"Don, although Zaragoza has performed poorly in the league this season, we cannot underestimate them!" reminded the old coach Jose Noggs on the side.

"Well, I understand, Jose. I have seen their historical honors. I find that they have always been a veritable cup team. Their team has not won the league championship once in history! But they have won the King's Cup four times, more than us! In addition, they have also won the European Cup Winners and the UEFA Cup. From this point of view, they have a rich cup competition tradition!" Tang Feng nodded and said that he understood what Jose Noggs meant.

"Yes! They performed very well in the League Cup this year. Many people also said that if they hadn't been squeezed out by Real Madrid, they might have achieved some results in the Champions League!" Boas said with a smile.

"Well, I looked at it. There are no famous stars in this Zaragoza team. But there are many powerful players. Among them, Paraguay international Akuna is undoubtedly the most threatening. As a midfielder, he can basically contribute more than five goals per season. In addition, their center Moises is also worth noting. Although he is nearly thirty years old, his impact is still very strong..." Tang Feng took the list of Zaragoza players compiled by Boas for him and analyzed them one by one.

...

Such a tactical discussion class will basically be held before every important game.

Tang Feng and his assistants basically used this tactical discussion class to get the formation and tactics of the next game.

This time was no exception. After the meeting was late at night, they finally determined the formation and tactics of the finals!

In the last few days of preparation, Tang Feng also practiced this tactic quickly.

...

Over the days, media reports about the King's Cup final have never stopped.

Like ordinary important finals, the media always compares the strength of the two teams.

However, such comparisons are different, wise, and each has its own ideas.

Unlike previous games, in this final, many media and fans were optimistic that Betis won the championship as a second-level team.

It seems that Betis has won the trust of many fans and the media after eliminating last season's European champion Real Madrid, last season's league champion La Coruna, and Mallorca, the biggest dark horse in La Liga this season!

Of course, there are still some more conservative people who choose to be optimistic about Zaragoza from La Liga.

What they saw was naturally the brilliant record of Zaragoza in the Copa del Rey.

After all, on the football field, sometimes it is impossible to believe in historical records.

The players and coaches of the two teams undoubtedly became the focus of everyone before this game!

Betis players showed enough confidence in the interview.

"Yes, we eliminated strong teams like Real Madrid and La Coruna and entered the finals. Our goal is to win!" As the top scorer of this year's Cup REE, Adriano said confidently.

"I know the finals are accidental. But we are fully prepared. We will try to keep the game in our rhythm as much as possible. I also believe that we will laugh to the end of this game, just like the previous games!" Xavi Alonso was more stable than Adriano, but his words did not hide his confidence in the championship.

The most popular one is the magical Tang. As early as the day he took office, Tang Feng, who threatened to lead Betis to be the first in the Segunda Division, left people with a rebellious image. They all looked forward to Tang Feng making another bold statement before this final!

Tang Feng did not disappoint them either. He said in an interview: "No one entered the finals just to win the runner-up! So, our goal is to win the championship! I know that Spain did not have the experience of a second-level team winning the Copa del Rey before this. But in my opinion, isn't history just for creation? We will create the history of Spanish football!"

Tang Feng's statement immediately made the media very excited.

Before the game, the news about Tang Feng threatening to win the championship also appeared in reports from major media after being fueled by the media.

However, Zaragoza did show a low-key performance against Betis's almost provocative confidence.

When asked about the finals, their coach Marcelino said in a low-key manner: "We are still immersed in the joy of relegation. As for this King's Cup final, we can only do our best. Everyone knows that in the previous games, Real Madrid and La Coruña were unable to escape the fate of being eliminated by Betis. It can be seen that Betis is very strong! Of course, we will not give up this game because of this. If we can win a championship after successful relegation, it will undoubtedly be excellent news for the Zaragoza fans!"

Zaragoza's players also expressed their fear of despising Betis.
