Chapter 20 Great Victory

Chapter 20 Great Victory ()

Hiddink on the sidelines hugged Tang Feng again.

In the eyes of the Dutch coach, he seemed to be embracing victory while embracing Tang Feng!

In the next game, Betis was still attacking continuously. They seemed to be venting all the aggrievances of this season on their opponents.

Although the score has not been rewritten again, the attacks have brought waves of climaxes in the stands of Lopela Stadium.

However, such a match that should have been extremely happy had a scene of beauty at the last moment.

After playing Santander Athletics right-back Tayce with an extremely fancy move, Denilson was knocked down by the furious Uruguayan.

Although this action won a yellow card for Teis, it also caused DeNilson to fall to the ground with a painful leg and had to be carried out on a stretcher for treatment.

Afterwards, Hiddink had a sad face and directly replaced DeNilson, who was treated on the sidelines with a substitute left forward Benjamin.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score was locked at 3-0, and Betis laughed to the end.

However, while happy, Betis fans were also concerned about Denilson's injury when they left Lopela Stadium.

Sweeping Santander Athletics three-to-zero, Betis won the most exciting victory of the season, and also completed an extremely critical two-game winning streak on the road to relegation.

However, compared to this victory, people seemed to pay more attention to Denilson who was injured in the last moment of the game after the game.

As we all know, in the past three rounds of games, Betis's form suddenly recovered, winning two wins and one draw, which can be said to be half of the credit to this once the Brazilian, who was the first to be worth in the world football world.

Just when Betis scored seven points in three consecutive games, narrowing the gap with the team outside the relegation circle and the relegation situation became better and better, he fell down as a hero. His injury undoubtedly touched the hearts of many fans and media.

Especially Betis fans. Once upon a time, they were somewhat resistant to this Brazilian who had been buying the team by Chairman Lopela for a lot of money but had never been able to play. Because in their opinion, more than 30 million US dollars may be enough for the team to buy a few powerful players to supplement the team's strength, rather than buying such a guy who is not good at playing football.

Recently, they finally saw Denilson performing in a state, accepting him, and putting his hopes on him. At this time, God played a joke with them. Fans can only hope that Denilson has a minor injury and will not affect the next game of the season.

Finally, on the afternoon of the next day after Betis played against Santander Athletics, Betis Club announced the results of DeNelson's inspection.

Betis Club spokesman Castano said with regret at the press conference: "About Denilson's injury, after a detailed diagnosis by the team doctor, we have confirmed that Denilson's thigh muscle was severely strained. It is expected to be out for at least one month. This is undoubtedly regrettable news. During this period, the club will fully assist Denilson in resuming treatment and strive to get him to catch up with the final key battle of the league."

For the reporters on the scene, what Castano said later is no longer important. They have already obtained the information they need, that is: Denilson is absent for at least one month!

After reaching this conclusion, people quickly took out their phones to check the calendar above, comparing with the next schedule of this season.

It is now April 9th, and the final round of the La Liga this season will end on May 20th.

There are less than a month and a half left, and Betis still has six rounds of games. Although there is no situation of a one-week double game, one game a week also means that he misses at least four to five games.

If he missed five rounds of the game, DeNilson would have to catch up with the last round of the league against Real Madrid. But in fact, the last game against Real Madrid was not the goal of Betis scored points. Moreover, even if DeNilson caught up with that game, he might not be able to lead Betis to defeat the powerful Real Madrid.

In this way, DeNilson will most likely miss the last and most important score-grabbing schedule of Betis this season.

Once this news was announced, a pessimistic shadow was shrouded in most of the city of Seville.

The situation in Betis is not much better.

As the head coach, Hiddink's tone was full of helplessness in his later interview: "There is no doubt that Denilson is the most important member of the team. He is regaining his peak form and helping the team keep moving forward. But at this time, he was injured by a meaningless malicious foul by the opponent. This hit the team too heavy. But at this point, we can only find his replacement from the team and strive to achieve good results in the last six rounds of games!"

As Hiddink said, Denilson is already injured. It is useless to be pessimistic here. The most urgent task is to find a replacement for Denilson. And make tactical adjustments to let the team find another way to win.

Once upon a time, whenever people mentioned De Nelson's position in Betis, they might use "small ribs" or similar words to describe him. Staying in the team is not very useful, but it is a pity to sell him cheaply. After all, Lopera spent more than 30 million US dollars to buy De Nelson. Now, which sucker would be willing to spend so much money to buy him?

However, when Hiddink and Tang Feng found the right way to use DeNelson, his contribution to the team suddenly seemed to have become irreplaceable.

Indeed, in about two thousand years, pure wingers have become more popular in European football. Generally speaking, players and coaches are used to play on the left side and right side. Inward-cut wing players like Denilson are not easy to find.

What's more, it's not the transfer period now, Hiddink can only tap potential internally.

Now, bettis has another left frontman in addition to Denilson, that is, the young local player Benjamin.

However, he is a traditional wing player, so it is not a big problem to ask him to cross from the bottom. But it is unrealistic to let him cut in the wing like Denilson.

In addition to Benjamin, the team's substitute forward Cuera can also play a guest appearance as a left forward. He is a technical forward and has good speed, so there is no big problem with playing on the wing. Unfortunately, he is a pure left-footed player. His left foot can make a wonderful shot, but his right foot cannot even pass a little further away. Such a player makes him cut in the inward tactic on the left side.

In the end, Hiddink chose to pull the front midfielder Pablonino to the left and let him play a guest appearance as a fake winger.

Pablo's foot skills are also very good. As a front midfielder, he has also not bad long shots outside the penalty area.

The only regret is that his speed is a little slower, and if he puts him on the side, he may be negligible to be able to go down the bottom.

However, this is Hiddink's best choice for the team.

Tang Feng also did not object to Hiddink's approach.

According to his understanding, there are many ways to play in the Premier League where technical attack midfielders are placed on the wingers or wingers.

For example, Joe Cole, who was called England's most outstanding technical genius in ten years when he debuted, was actually the midfielder when he was in the West Ham youth team. But after transferring to Chelsea, including later joining the national team, he was placed on the wing.

Of course, this is also because the environment in the Premier League at that time was not suitable for the survival of technical front-middles. "Central-forward" like Scholes, Gerrard and Lampard are the most suitable players to play in the Premier League. Therefore, in order to gain a position, these technical front-middles could only accept the reality of playing on the wing.

Of course, with the later advancement of the Premier League and the popularity of Spanish style, technical midfielders like Silva have also begun to become popular in the Premier League. But this is a later story.

As for the failure of the technical front-middle to play the wing, Tang Feng couldn't say it.

He can only watch the effect on the court.

On April 15, Betis ushered in the 33rd round of the league.

In this round of league, Betis will challenge Real Sociedad away.

After the last round of the league, Betis, who won, has surpassed Atletico Madrid, which won the draw, and climbed to the bottom.

However, Oviedo, which was originally ranked fourth from the bottom, also won, so the points gap between the two teams is still four points.

However, the fifth-placed Numancia suffered a defeat and returned to the fourth-placed position. At the same time, the gap in points leading Betis also turned into three points.

In other words, Betis actually only needs one goal to escape from the relegation zone!

In this round of the game, Betis' opponent Real Sociedad still has the possibility of relegation. They only lead Betis' team six points.

At the Arnoeta Stadium in Real Sociedad, Hiddink tried a new tactic, which was the way to play Pablonino on the left.

However, the performance during the game proved that Hiddink's "broken copying" was a failure.
Chapter completed!
