"Shocked!!! Chairman Betis is suspected of economic crime and is under investigation!!!"

Tang Feng had just returned to Sevilla, and the team had just reassembled and was preparing to welcome the arrival of the second half of the season, this report appeared on the front page of "Sevilla City"!

The author of this article is the firm "Overturning Tang faction", a loyal Sevilla fan, and the sports editor-in-chief of "Sevilla City"!

Terman wrote in this article: According to reliable information, Betis Chairman Ruiz Lopera is suspected of economic crimes and is under investigation by the Sevilla Procuratorate!

The reason is that after Ruiz Lopela took office as chairman of Betis Club, he had a number of "impaired" financial actions, and had a series of illegal acts such as embezzling club funds and embezzling club assets!

Even in the deal that made Lopela and Betis famous in the world football world, signing Denilson at the first place in the world, Lopela was suspected of embezzling some of the transfer fees...

...

Finally come!

After seeing this report, Tang Feng thought with a wry smile!

Although judging from the content of Terman's report, it has a bit of "hearse-written" meaning, and a lot of the content is his subjective imagination. But judging from his performance in reporting this news on the front page headlines, he must have received the news that Lopela is under investigation!

This news was first revealed by Terman, and Tang Feng could be said to be not surprised at all.

Someone once said that more friends and caring about you are your enemies!

Terman may be the most hostile journalist on the planet to the Betis Club, so he can be said to be paying close attention to the Betis team's situation at all times to find a chance to attack Betis as soon as possible!

The Sevilla Procuratorate has been investigating Lopela for some time, so it is not uncommon to be found out by Terman.

Tang Feng knew that with this report in the newspaper, what Lopela is under investigation will soon become the focus of football in the entire Spanish and European world!

You should know that Betis is the team with the best performance in Spain in the first half of the season and one of the most watched teams!

Some people appreciate the outstanding performance of the young guards of Betis, and some must be envious, jealous and hateful!

Now, there is something wrong with Betis, and the club chairman has something wrong with it, so naturally many people are happy to watch the fun!

Sure enough, the next day, the news spread throughout Spain.

This news was reported by well-known Spanish media including Marca, Asce and World Sports.

Moreover, the details of this matter have been dug up more and more thoroughly!

Under pressure, Betis Club had to hold a press conference to "clearize". At this press conference, the person involved, Lopela, did not show up.

Attend the press conference were club vice chairman Martin and manager Leon.

When facing media questions, the two said that Lopela "is just cooperating with the procuratorate to conduct a routine investigation", and some "facts" about Lopela's economic crimes in the media are not true!

Such an official reply obviously cannot satisfy the curiosity of the media.

The media found that the Sevilla Procuratorate hoped to understand the truth of the incident. However, the procuratorate refused the media interview on the grounds that the case is conducting a secret investigation and is temporarily unsuitable.

As for Lopera himself, he completely disappeared from the public's sight!

However, this obviously cannot extinguish the enthusiasm of the media. The more they cannot understand the truth, the more they are concerned about this matter.

Therefore, until this matter is truly made public, the media’s reports on this matter will never be reduced!

In order not to further expand this topic, the club also issued a ban order to players and coaches.

During this period, Tang Feng and the players were not allowed to express their opinions on this matter!

This closure undoubtedly made the already tense atmosphere inside the team even more weird.

Players will also have various concerns.

Chairman economic crimes? Will the club be punished?

Will the club's finances be affected?

Can we get our salary on time?

Is this club still a future?

...

The players all have such messy ideas, and as coaches, Tang Feng undoubtedly bears greater pressure!

He must try his best to resolve the concerns in the players' hearts and adjust the team's condition so that everyone's performance on the court will not be affected.

At the same time, he himself had to keep a close eye on the situation on Lopela in order to acquire the club at the right time.

"I hope everyone understands that we don't need to be too concerned about Mr. Lopela's investigation. We are a modern club. The operation of the club and the team should not be affected by this matter. To put it bluntly, even if something happened to Mr. Lopela, we don't need to worry about the future of the club at all! As long as we can maintain such excellent results as we are now, the club will definitely find a good next home! Therefore, what we have to do now is to play well on the court and continue the outstanding record of the first half of the season..." Tang Feng said to the players before preparing for the first game after the winter break.

Tang Feng analyzed it well, but it is unknown whether the players listened to it!

After the winter break, Betis's first game was a strong enemy, that is the league's championship rival, the Bat Legion Valencia!

This season, under the leadership of the new coach Benitez, Valencia's performance can be said to be very outstanding. They beat Real Madrid and Barcelona in the standings, and firmly tied to Betis and La Coruna, ranking third in the league!

The gap between them and Betis is only four points. Such a direct conversation is undoubtedly a great opportunity for them to shorten the gap with Betis!

Before the game, Betis revealed that the chairman was investigated for economic crimes, which was even better for Valencia.

The media also believe that Valencia, who performed extremely stably this season, is likely to seize this opportunity and end Betis' unbeaten record in the league for more than a year!

In addition, Vicente's first return to Lopela Stadium after transferring to Valencia last summer was also a focus of media attention!

This season, Vicente is still the best left winger in Spain.

It was his outstanding performance that helped Valencia to keep biting Betis and La Coruna ahead while the performance of several forwards was average!

Although Valencia has famous players such as Karu, Mista and Salva this season, the goals scored by several forwards are very pitiful. The total number of goals scored by the three forwards in the first half of the season is less than ten goals, which is even worse than Adriano's own goal!

However, behind the strikers Vicente, Angulo, Aimal, Rufit, Kili Gonzalez and other attackers dispersed the goal mission well.

Of course, this is also related to the tactics arranged by Benitez. This season's Valencia tactics are similar to the strikeless tactics that Tang Feng once used, so the goal data of several forwards is average, but the overall goal in the midfield and frontcourt can be scored.

In addition, to achieve their current results, more importantly, they have the best defense line in La Liga this season!

In the 18 rounds of the league before the winter break, they only scored 25 goals, with the fewest goals among the top five teams, and they were even worse than Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla in the middle and upper reaches!

But they only conceded 13 goals, with an average of 0.72 goals per game ahead of La Liga!

Interestingly, Betis is the team with the most goals in La Liga this season.

Therefore, this is also a direct conversation between the sharpest spear and the hardest shield!

...

In this game, Tang Feng lined up the team's main lineup.

The goalkeeper is veteran Van der Sar. Evra, Pablo Alfaro, Carvalho and Barrela lined up on the defense line. The double midfielders are Xavi Alonso and Cascro, the front midfielder Kaka, Robben and Joaquin respectively. Adriano on the front line performed very consciously this winter break. When he returned to the team, he fully met the standard in weight, so he also won the starting position without permission!

In Valencia, Benitez also arranged a four-two-three-one formation.

The goalkeeper is the old Spanish goalkeeper Caniseres, with Caboni, Ayala, Pellegrino and Angeloma lined up in the back line. The double midfielder is the combination of the national teams of Baraja and Alberda. The front midfielder is the clown Aimar, Rufit and Vicente are separated on both sides, and the local striker Mista on the front line!

After the game began, Tang Feng could see that the team was working hard to get rid of the shadow brought to the team by Lopela's investigation incident.

However, perhaps it is because of the desire to get rid of this shadow that the players are a little anxious.

Although he almost beat Valencia on the court, he only bloomed but did not bear fruit.

On the contrary, Valencia's several counterattacks were very threatening. If Mista hadn't been in poor form, they would have led Betis by at least two goals in the first half.

You should know that only Betis always beats others to fight back. How could Betis be so embarrassed by the opponent's counterattack?

During the halftime break, Tang Feng asked the players to stabilize the rhythm in the second half and not to pounce too hard when attacking!

After the second half of the game began, Betis did stabilize the rhythm and did not give Valencia any chance to counterattack.

However, facing Valencia's excellent defense line, Betis has no choice but to be in poor condition.

In the end, this highly-watched conflict ended in a zero-to-zero defence!

Valencia failed to seize the opportunity of Betis being deeply involved in the "Chairman's Gate" incident and broke Betis' unbeaten golden body, and Betis failed to use a victory to get rid of the shadow of the "Chairman's Gate"!

After the game, Tang Feng went to shake hands with Benitez and said, "The timing of this game is wrong. I look forward to the second round of the fight!"

Benitez nodded, and replied, "I think so too!"

Although he has maintained his unbeaten golden body, Tang Feng knows that before the "Chairman's Gate" incident is resolved, the team's condition may be affected...
