Chapter 18 Translation and Assistant Coach ()

In fact, when discussing tactics, although Tang Feng would come up with some novel ideas from time to time, he still exposed some basic skills deficiencies.

Speaking of which, Tang Feng has some forward-looking vision, and the international football coach certificate obtained by the former owner of this body also gives him a certain theoretical knowledge, but he lacks practical work experience after all.

However, for Hiddink, with Tang Feng's addition, it is a good addition to his coaching staff.

Several of his assistants were able to do the basic work well. What he needed was Tang Feng providing him with some "fresh" ideas.

After "upgrading" to become an assistant coach, Tang Feng's position in the team was slightly improved.

The players' attitude towards him has also changed a bit.

Of course, some of these players have changed their attitude because of Tang Feng’s performance over the past two weeks. Some have to change their attitude because of the changes in Tang Feng’s position.

Alfonso and Finidi George belong to the latter.

In the past, Tang Feng was just a small translator and a small employee of a club, so they had almost no respect for Tang Feng. During training, Tang Feng often ordered him to do that.

Now, Tang Feng is still an assistant coach after all. Naturally, they dare not yell at Tang Feng.

In the last round of the game, Betis won a draw. Their relegation opponents performed well and badly.

Atletico Madrid, ranked third from the bottom, suffered another defeat, which reduced their advantage over Betis to two points.

Numancia, ranked seventeenth in the league and fourth from the bottom, once again won a draw in this round, continuing to maintain the gap between Betis and six points.

Real Ovido, the 16th place in the league, lost to Mallorca, who ranked in the middle, in this round, only one point ahead of Numancia and seven points ahead of Betis.

These two teams are only four and five points away from Atletico Madrid, which has the highest points in the relegation zone.

In addition, teams with a 10-tenth gap with Betis include Real Sociedad, Athletic Santander and Espanyol.

Among these teams, Ovido, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, Real Sociedad and Espanyol will all directly fight with Betis in the last few rounds.

It can be said that as long as Betis can win these direct conversations with their relegation opponents, they still have certain hopes of relegation.

April 1, April Fool's Day in the West.

Betis ushered in the 31st round of the league this season. In this game, Betis will lose to Real Ovido away.

This is also a "royal derby".

Among the many teams that have been named "Royal" in La Liga, Real Ovido is relatively small in fame.

At least in Tang Feng's impression, it is difficult to see this team in the later La Liga. It is probably because it is going to be in the low-level league.

In fact, the team has the title of "Royal" in front of it, which does not represent the so-called "Royal Destiny". This is just a title given by the Spanish King in the early years to promote the development of the team.

To this day, except for the most famous Real Madrid that maintains a "noble bloodline", other "Real" teams are basically civilian teams.

Real Oviedo is a typical civilian team. They have not won the league and the Copa del Rey since they were established. The best result is only the third in the league and the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.

Relatively speaking, Real Betis won at least one league championship and one Cup of del Rey.

This season, Oviedo's performance was actually very bad.

They didn't score many goals, they just reached one goal per game, and conceded two goals per game.

These data are similar to those of Betis, but their goals are obviously used at critical moments. So, they have two more wins and one draw than Betis, leading Betis seven points.

Before the game, Hiddink and assistants including Tang Feng both had a detailed understanding of Oviedo.

The most threatening player in Oviedo is Panama scorer Julio Valdez, who alone scored almost one-third of the team's goals this season.

This center forward, known as the "field beast", is tall and has excellent impact, just like a beast. However, now thirty-three years old, his impact has decreased.

For such a high center forward, Betis, who has two high Eastern European central defenders, will not be as afraid as other La Liga teams.

In this game, Betis' two tall central defenders did indeed defend against Valdes.

Unfortunately, the Betis itself has not made much achievements in offense.

During most of the game, the score on the field was still 0-0.

Tang Feng was actually very helpless about such a situation.

The Betis' offensive lineup looks quite luxurious, but their cooperation with each other is very limited.

Especially Denilson, he is almost completely out of the team's offensive system.

Even Hiddink came, it could not solve this problem.

As the game entered the last twenty minutes, the team still did not break the deadlock on the court.

Tang Feng simply suggested Hiddink to let Denilson take the ball and attack Oviedo's defense line.

Judging from his performance against Barcelona in the past, Denilsen is in good condition. I believe his personal ability may have good returns.

After hearing Tang Feng's words, Hiddink was still a little hesitant. You should know that Dutch football has always focused on the overall situation. Let him encourage a player to fight alone, which is inconsistent with his coaching philosophy for so many years.

However, as time passed a few more minutes, when Betis' offense was still difficult to cause trouble for Oviedo. Hiddink also decided to take a gamble.

After getting Hiddink's affirmative answer, Tang Feng also came to the sideline excitedly and waved to Denilson who passed by near the sideline.

Denilson walked over in confusion.

"If you have a chance to get the ball later, don't go down the bottom. Cut more inwards and break into the middle, and shoot when you have the chance. Do you know? Of course, if your teammates have a better chance, you must pass the ball in time!" Tang Feng whispered to Denilson.

Of course, Tang Feng knew that his second half of the reminder probably wouldn't work for Denilson.

Indeed, when Denilson heard Tang Feng encourage him to fight alone, his eyes lit up. At the same time, he also selectively ignored the second half of Tang Feng's sentence.

After coming to Betis, Denilson experienced many coaches.

The most they say to themselves is "pass the ball, pass more, man!" "Damn it, I asked you to pass the ball, didn't you hear it?"

This made De Nielsen confused. He played this way in the Brazilian league before he transferred to Betis. Even he played this way in the Brazilian national team.

Since he doesn't let him play like this, why spend such a big price to buy himself?

Therefore, Denilson still does his own way. Anyway, as the world's number one value, no one is willing to put him on the bench.

Today, this young Chinese actually told me not to go down the bottom, but to shoot more inwardly. Did I really hear this wrong? Did this sentence be agreed by the head coach?

Looking at Denilson's slightly puzzled expression, Tang Feng continued, "Don't worry, Mr. Hiddink was convinced by me. Just kick as I said!"

After hearing Tang Feng's words, Denilson finally showed a long-lost smile on his face.

Tang Feng felt that even Denilson won two dollars alone in the last game, the smile on his face was not as bright as today's!

After receiving Tang Feng's instructions, Denilson began a gorgeous dribble performance.

Perhaps because of excessive excitement, Denilson's movements were a bit too fancy and not practical enough during the previous few times of getting the ball. Therefore, his incisive breakthrough did not pose a substantial threat to Oviedo.

Therefore, Denilson's performance does not seem to be high expectations by the head coach, but more like he was in a hurry and did it hard.

After several consecutive breakthroughs failed and even conceded the ball, his teammates were a little angry. Alfonso and others expressed their dissatisfaction to Denilson in various ways.

Denilson seemed to realize that he had performed a little earlier.

When he got the ball again in the 78th minute of the game, although he still cut inside with the ball, his movements seemed much more concise.

After stepping on two bikes on the side, he dribbled the ball horizontally and forced his way inside to cut into the front of the penalty area.

After getting rid of the defensive player and swaying another midfielder who was making up for defense, Denilson directly swung his right foot and made a powerful shot!
