Betis' three-game winning streak undoubtedly surprised those who think they will be beaten back to their original form in the second half of the season!

In the standings, Betis also successfully narrowed the gap with the second-place team La Coruna.

However, Valencia, who rose to the top of the league in the second half of the season, performed extremely stably. During the three consecutive wins of Betis, they also made three consecutive victories, firmly occupying the top spot!

After playing against Alaves, Tang Feng's eyes temporarily pulled away from the league and turned to the UEFA Cup!

This week, the UEFA Cup will rekindle the war, and Betis will also usher in the first leg of the League Cup 18th final against Leeds United in the mid-week!

Long before the winter break, after the draw ceremony of the UEFA Cup 8th-finals came out, Betis's game against Leeds United became the most popular showdown in the 8th-finals of the League Cup!

Although Betis and Leeds United are not considered traditional European giants, their duels are full of highlights.

Leeds United led by O'Reilly is the most famous young guard in European football!

Since becoming the head coach of Leeds United in 1998, O'Reilly has been implementing youth reforms to the team. Young talents such as Woodgate and Alan Smith were promoted from the youth team by O'Reilly.

Coupled with the team's young people such as Cowell, Ian Hart, Bowyer and Robbie Keane who later joined, Leeds United can definitely be said to be youthful.

It is precisely because of the courage to fight and fight that Leeds United ranked in the top four in the league for several consecutive seasons under the leadership of O'Reilly, and reached the semi-finals of the League Cup and the Champions League in two seasons, becoming the young guards who everyone in European football is terrified!

However, this season, Leeds United clubs have already experienced a series of financial problems. The practice of buying Leo Ferdinand at high prices and poaching stars such as Robbie Fowler at high salaries has caused Leeds United clubs to bear huge debts.

Moreover, in the past two seasons, some young players in Leeds United have also shown their immature side and have successively broken scandals. The most famous of them is the incident in which Woodgate and Bower beat Asian students in January 2000.

The lawsuit lasted for two years. In the end, Bowyer was acquitted, while Woodgate was sentenced to engage in community labor due to being accused of fighting. During this period, frequent exchanges between the court and the stadium obviously affected the state of these two young players who were originally Leeds United's absolute main players. Woodgate was even more injured during this period of unstable state and was injured.

In terms of record, the club has no longer the crazy thing he had in previous seasons!

With half of the Premier League, they are only ranked sixth in the league and their idea of ​​making it to the Champions League next season and thus resolving the club's financial crisis is likely to be shattered!

It can be said that Leeds United is a young guard who is gradually declining!

Also known as the Youth Guards, Betis's players are a little younger than Leeds United players.

Even their coach Tang Feng is a teenager younger than O'Reilly!

Moreover, the formation of the young guards of the Betis team has only been one and a half seasons.

Their performance in the past two seasons is like Leeds United in the previous two seasons, with great momentum and a big victory in the league and European courts!

Another point is that Betis is the same as Leeds United, that is, Betis has not been in good condition recently, because the unrest among the club's senior management and the club's change of ownership have caused Betis to experience an embarrassing seven unbeaten games in the league and the King's Cup.

However, after a three-game winning streak, Betis adjusted his condition in time before facing Leeds United.

Such a direct showdown between the old and new young guards is naturally attracting much attention.

Before the game, the media also exaggerated the game!

Especially the British media, although they often like to find out the problems of these problematic young men in Leeds United at home, they still stand firmly behind Leeds United in the international arena.

In their opinion, Leeds United is the authentic young guards. The nickname of the Betis team's youth guards should be added with the "Spain" prefix or the "second generation" suffix!

At the same time, based on Leeds United's outstanding performance in the European arena for two consecutive seasons, British media are also generally optimistic about Leeds United's elimination of Betis!

At this time, the bad guys who have always been targeted by British media have become the targets of interviews by British media.

Bower, Mills, Ferdinand and others were interviewed by the media.

They did not disappoint the media, and they expressed their determination to win without any restraint!

"The Spanish team's football style is so soft, it's like a group of girls playing football. In this game, I will let them know what men's football is!" Bad boy Bower said disdainfully in an interview.

"I heard that their offense was crazy in La Liga? That's because the defense of La Liga is too loose! I will let them taste the English-style defense! Dutch Pan? He can't fly in front of me!" Leeds United's right-back Mills is also famous for his chills. He is famous for his fierce defense and a bad temper. He directly provoked Robben, who was against him!

"Betis's Brazilian striker seems to be very popular recently? That's because he plays in La Liga, and the defenders of La Liga are simply a bunch of soft balls. I dare say that in these two games, under my defense, this Brazilian is definitely silent!" Ferdinand during the Leeds United period was not a good bird, and he was also famous for his words. He declared war on Adriano!

The bad guys, evil guys and big mouths in Leeds United fired fire at the Betis people, which really made the British media excited. They exaggerated these remarks and created a confident atmosphere for Leeds United.

Although these young geniuses in Betis' team are all honest under Tang Feng's training, it does not mean that they have no temper!

People all provoked and said that they were coming up on their heads, how could they bear it!

"Haha, man? Two professional players joined forces to beat a thin Asian student. This is really a man's approach! Is bullying the less and bullying the weak is the British definition of 'man'?" As Betis' captain, Harvey Alonso fired back first. He sarcastically mocked Leeds United for the incident of Bower and Woodgate beating Asian students.

Adriano also expressed his anger at Ferdinand's contempt: "I can score not because of the league I scored, but because... I can score! Of course, I am more willing to prove this with actions than using my mouth! Will I be silent? The answer will be revealed in the game!"

Robben, who was also provoked, also expressed his dissatisfaction: "I think it is up to me to decide whether he can fly on the field, not to listen to others! I hope that what he said about Premier League defense is not to hit people... Of course, I am not afraid if I really fight!"

The retaliation of several young Betis players really made the Spanish media excited.

They also willingly acted as a platform for war of words, and they all expressed the remarks of several young players of the Betis team as a counterattack to the British.

In this way, the young people in the two young guards fought a war of words through the British and Spanish media.

As coaches, O'Reilly and Tang Feng were both very tacitly aware of this war of words and did not interfere with this war of words.

They all knew very well that these young people should not let them hold them too hard, otherwise they would be out of control if they exploded.

Such a verbal battle not only vents their emotions, but also indirectly motivates them to perform well in the game so as not to be slapped in the face after the game!

Why not do this?

In a slutty, the Betis came to Leeds one day early.

Here, they were greeted by the insults and booings of Leeds fans, and this treatment Betis began to enjoy almost the moment he got off the plane.

The popular personality of British fans is well known throughout Europe and even the world, and football hooligans are their iconic products.

The fans of Leeds United are also the same style as their team, with a strong momentum and no matter what happens when they get up.

Over the past few seasons, Leeds United fans have been working with fans of other teams in England and even in Europe.

Last season's UEFA Cup, Leeds United fans had a big fight with Turkish fans with the same hot personality. In the end, they paid the heavy price of two fans being stabbed to death by Turkish fans.

Unfortunately, Leeds United fans did not restrain their temperament due to the death of their two companions. Whenever they fought at home, they always greeted their opponents with booing and insults.

Taking into account the characteristics of Leeds United fans, before going to England, Tang Feng also called on Betis fans to pay attention to safety when watching the game away and try not to mess with Leeds fans!

In Tang Feng's opinion, even if you hear less cheers on the away game, it is much better than the fans being hurt to cheer for the team in order to go away!

Betis fans listened carefully to Tang Feng's advice. In this away game, almost 3,000 Betis fans still came to Leeds City, but they performed very low-key before the game and did not deliberately provoke Leeds United fans.

Although Leeds United fans are popular, they are not violent. With the low-key performance of Betis fans, they did not do anything out of the ordinary except showing off their power.

Regarding the power of Leeds United fans, Betis fans chose to put their anger in their hearts. They firmly believe that in the game, Shenqi Tang and his team will give them a chance to vent their emotions!

In fact, in addition to the Betis fans, Tang Feng and Betis players also really breathed a sigh of relief.

Because on this day in Leeds, they almost never escaped the harassment of Leeds United fans.

Whether in hotels or when adapting to the venue, Leeds United fans always do their best to interfere and prevent Betis from gaining a moment of peace!

Leeds United Club turned a blind eye to the fans' actions...

Let’s make a noise! ​​After the game begins, there will be a time for you to be quiet!

Tang Feng, who was so annoyed by the fans downstairs in the hotel at night that he couldn't sleep, gritted his teeth and thought to himself hatefully!
