Tang Feng and Milan Sports reporter De Ross' bet became the hottest news in European football in just one day. Almost anyone who pays attention to football knows that the two are making a bet.

However, it is generally believed that Tang Feng was at the disadvantage in this bet, because the probability of his attempt to win this bet seemed to be lower.

Even Tang Sen, who had never been very concerned about the team's situation, found Tang Feng as soon as he learned the news.

"Xiaofeng, I always think that although you are young, you are still relatively steady and very sensible. How could you get the reporter's provocation this time?" Tang Sen asked straight to the point after seeing Tang Feng. Obviously, he still thought that Tang Feng had got the reporter's provocation. Otherwise, with Tang Feng's intelligence, it would be impossible for him to accept such a completely unequal bet!

"No, cousin. I agreed to this bet with a very calm attitude. I was not inspired by that guy." Tang Feng said calmly.

"Calm down? Then I can't understand even more. Don't you see how difficult it is to win this bet?" Tang Sen asked with a frown.

"That's right, after I promised this bet, I, including the team, will undoubtedly bear a lot of pressure next. But is it just us who are under pressure?" Tang Feng replied calmly.

Listening to Tang Feng's words, Tang Sen's mind quickly started to work. He was a smart person, otherwise he would not have been able to create his own career in a foreign country. So he soon understood Tang Feng's idea.

"You mean, you're using this bet to create pressure on Benitez and Valencia to make mistakes?" He said his analysis.

"Yes, this is what I think! Valencia's League Cup and King's Cup have been eliminated, with only the league left, and the last five rounds of the league will be one game a week, which is undoubtedly too comfortable for them. If they don't put some pressure on them, it will be very difficult to make them make mistakes!" Tang Feng said helplessly with his hands spreading out.

Tang Sen nodded, indicating that he understood Tang Feng’s idea, and then he continued to ask: “I originally thought you had given up on the league…”

"When I reached this critical moment, how could I give up so easily? I never had the idea of ​​giving up the league championship. I just rotated the lineup based on the strength of the opponent. Our substitute lineup was also good before, how did I know that they would be tied by Osasuna?" Tang Feng shook his head helplessly and said.

"If you want to win the league championship, the last two rounds of the match against La Coruna and Valencia will be extremely important. There is another League Cup final between these two games. If you play three games in a week, do you feel so confident? If... I say that if the team fails to withstand the pressure, we will lose all our efforts!" Tang Sen said with some concern.

"That's right, playing three games like this in a week is simply trying to kill us, so you have to come forward!" Tang Feng said to Tang Sen with a smile.

"I'll come forward? Are you... asking me to negotiate with the football team to change the schedule?" Tang Sen quickly guessed Tang Feng's idea again.

"Yes, we reached the League Cup final. Although the League Cup is not as good as the Champions League, it is still a European event at least. This is a matter of having a good face for La Liga. Shouldn't the Football Association let us participate in this final without worries and win a European championship for La Liga? Then, let them adjust the schedule, isn't it too much?" Tang Feng nodded with a smile and then analyzed.

"This... I'll try it, and I don't know if the Football Association will agree. How do you say you should adjust it?" Tang Sen gave a positive answer, but he didn't have much confidence. After all, he has only been the chairman of the Betis Club for less than half a season. He is not good at public relations activities like this.

"When you go to negotiate with the Football Association, you can consider bringing Flora with her. She is a great character!" Tang Feng suggested, and he also proposed a plan to modify the schedule: "The match against La Coruña will be advanced to the middle of the week, so that we will have a week to prepare for the finals after playing La Coruña. Then, if you can, it is best to postpone the last round of Valencia for half a week or even a week. If we successfully narrowed the points gap to within three-pointers or three-pointers in the previous four rounds, then the last round of the league will be equivalent to the 'finals'. This game is the highlight. I believe the Football Association does not want us to participate in such a game that should have been exciting in the form of a tired army, right?"

"Well, a good suggestion. Flora is indeed a powerful character. She has managed the marketing department in an orderly manner after only a few months in the club. Moreover, because of some marketing strategies she has formulated, the sales of the club's peripheral products have doubled in just two months. This market, which was not originally large, has been completely developed by her. I heard that she is still preparing to open up overseas markets." When it comes to Flora, Tang Sen also praised it.

Tang Feng could see that when my cousin talked about Flora, he did not have the look of other men with a little color. It seemed that he had a pure appreciation of Flora at work.

For some reason, when Tang Feng felt proud when he heard his cousin praise Flora.

This feeling is like... After taking your girlfriend to meet her parents, you will hear that your parents affirm their girlfriend.

"Well, cousin, please hurry up and operate. Once this matter is successfully operated and made public, the pressure on Valencia will definitely be a little more. So, the sooner it is resolved, the greater the pressure on them, and our pressure can be appropriately reduced." Tang Feng put aside the messy thoughts in his mind and concluded to his cousin.

"Okay, I'll go to the meeting and prepare to apply to the Football Association. You should also pay attention to the players' stress relief work when you are on the team!" Tang Sen's personality is the same as Tang Feng, and he is also the kind of person who just says it. Before leaving, he did not forget to remind Tang Fengdao.

"No problem, let me leave the team here!" Tang Feng replied affirmatively.

...

After playing against Inter Milan, Tang Feng gave the team a day off.

When the team gathered to train again, it was only two days before the 34th round of the league match, which was a away game against Tenerife.

I just flew back from Milan, Italy and had to run to the island of Canary, which is closer to West Africa. Not to mention the consumption of the game, the consumption during the journey alone is already a difficult problem for the players.

What makes Tang Feng even more troubled is that Tenerife is another relegation team!

They are now ranked second to last in the league, only four points away from the relegation zone. With five rounds left in the league, they still have the theoretical hope of relegation.

Therefore, they will not miss any chance to grab points in the last five rounds of the game.

After two years of being in the coaching position, Tang Feng understood that the more difficult it would be to these seemingly weak relegation teams at the end of the season.

He had suffered losses in Villarreal and Osasuna before. This time he didn't want the tragedy to happen again.

Of course, considering that I had just experienced a fierce battle with Inter Milan three days ago, the rotation of the lineup in this game is still inevitable.

Before this, Tang Feng had to lower the pressure on the team.

On the training ground!

The players had already assembled. Tang Feng stood opposite them, with his hands behind his back, his eyes swept over the players one by one, and then said, "I think everyone should know the bet between me and the Milan Sports Daily, right?"

"Of course I know, boss. The whole streets and alleys of Seville have been discussing this matter these two days. I bet that even my puppy has heard of it!" Hua Jin, who was standing in the middle of the team and faced with Tang Feng, said intersecting.

As soon as he said something, a burst of laughter broke out in the team.

Tang Feng couldn't help laughing. The atmosphere that was brewing at the beginning was destroyed by this brat.

However, Tang Feng did not scold Joaquin. Joaquin, as a producer of Betis youth training camp, has a relatively high status in the team. However, this kid usually has no airs, but he often makes funny things. It can be said that he is a pistachio in the locker room.

In Tang Feng's view, such a player is essential to a team.

"You all know, I want to hear what everyone thinks!" Tang Feng continued to ask after everyone calmed down.

This time, the situation was a little bit unsuccessful because no one in the team answered.

At this time, as the captain, Harvey Alonso took the initiative to stand up. Compared to Joaquin's funny character, Harvey Alonso has a more steady personality. Perhaps because of his appearance of becoming more mature, he not only grew a beard, but also deliberately kept a cool look, giving people a sense of being serious. His answer was also very pragmatic: "We will stand firmly on your side, strive for the league championship, and help you win this bet!"

Although Harvey Alonso's words sounded like flattery, Tang Feng, who knew Harvey Alonso's personality, understood that he was all talking in his heart. Hearing this, Tang Feng was immediately moved.

Because in his opinion, as a coach, the happiest thing is to win the support of fans and players besides winning the championship and honor.

If a CCTV reporter appears on the training ground at this time, he asks him: "Are you happy?"

He will definitely give a positive answer!

but……

This is not the answer Tang Feng wants, because through the answer from Xavi Alonso, he could feel the players carrying an invisible layer of pressure.

"No, Harvey, I think you've made a mistake! I hope everyone can figure it out that the reason I promised this bet is not to act voluntarily, but to use this action to tell everyone that we have not given up the league championship yet! Therefore, your idea should not be to help me win a so-called bet, but to strive for a league championship for yourself!"

"League championship! For some players of giant teams, it may be easy to win. But for some small team players, they may never be able to get involved in their lives. We, Betis, have not won this championship for almost seventy years! This season, there is an opportunity in front of us, why should we give up? What is that bet? If I really lose, I will just report and apologize and lose some face. I will not get a point in the club. I also believe that you will never stop obeying my command just because I lost such a bet, right?"

"So, you should try your best in the next five rounds of games, not for a bullshit, but for the championship, to create a miracle of winning the league championship as a new team! In order to prevent yourself from regretting when you think of it when you get old, 'There was a chance to create a miracle, damn, why didn't I seize it?"

"Yes, there is still a five-point gap between us and Valencia now. With only five rounds left in the league, this gap is not small. However, opportunities have always been reserved for those who are prepared. If we give up now, the championship will not fly into our hands. And if we keep working hard, then as long as Valencia makes a mistake, we have the hope of regaining the championship! I want to know, are you willing to fight for this championship and a miracle?"

Tang Feng was like an orator, saying a long line of words in succession, with his voice bigger than each other, and his emotions more excitedly. In the end, Tang Feng almost shouted out by roaring.

Such speeches were undoubtedly very inflammatory, and the players opposite him became excited one by one.

Yes, the league champion is something countless players have never had a chance to win in their lifetime. Now, the opportunity is in front of them, what reason do they have to give up?

Most young players on the team have no experience in winning the league and now have the opportunity to win the championship early in their careers. How can they not desire it?

What is more eager to win the championship are some of the middle-aged and veterans in the team who have played for the small team before.

Pablo Alfaro, Xavi Navarro, Cascro, Senna, Otero, Antonio Platz, etc.

Except for Xavi Navarro who is a strong team like Valencia, these players have basically been in small teams for a long time. League championships can be said to be something they dare not dream of. Xavi Navarro, as a Valencia non-staff member, has not been able to win the league championship due to years of injuries.

But...who is there a player who plays football to be the foil for the championship?

Which player doesn’t hope that he can win various honors like those giants when he is young and hard to train?

"Life is like a ruthless carving knife, which changes our appearance. Will it wither before it blooms? I have dreams!"

The popular "Old Boy" in the future can replace their mood very well!

They all have great ideals of winning the championship and making achievements.

But as time goes by, they are drifting away from their dreams!

Now, the opportunity to realize the dream is in front of them. What reason do they have to let it go?

Even stars like Van der Sar and Guardiola who are from wealthy clubs can't help but be moved by Tang Feng's words!

Was they chosen to come to Betis because they saw the vitality and hope of this team and thought that this team could allow them to climb to the top again?

A soldier who doesn’t want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a player who doesn’t want to win a championship must be a good player!

Fortunately, Tang Feng is now full of good players, and they are full of desire for the championship!

"Will!!!" More than twenty big men shouted at the top of their throats and floated on the empty training ground.

Tang Feng was very satisfied with the performance of the players!

First of all, he believes that he has successfully removed the heavy pressure on the players, but at the same time, it makes them full of fighting spirit and maintains full desire for victory and championship!

It can be said that in his mental state, he has adjusted his team to the best. Now it depends on the competitive performance on the football field!

...

The first test is the fifth-last league round against Tenerife!

When the team flew to Canary Island, even Tang Feng, who did not need to do any physical activities, felt deeply tired, let alone trained players who had two to three games a week every day!

Considering the players' physical fitness, Tang Feng even canceled the first adaptive training after arriving in Tenerife, but instead allowed the players to have a good rest in the hotel.

In fact, he seized the opportunity to have a good sleep in the hotel and adjusted his mental state. He didn't want to appear in front of the coach's seat tomorrow to look tired.

After the afternoon break, Tang Feng convened the coaching team to study the lineup and playing style of the next day in the evening.

Combined with the test results of physical fitness coach Andres Ricardo, he selected a lineup with the best physical fitness.

Then, a set of tactics was tailored for this lineup.

It can be said that the coaching staff has made the most comprehensive preparations for this game, and the next thing we will see is the players' performance in the next day's game.

...

On the evening of April 16, Betis and Tenerife will be played at Tenerife's home court Rodriguez-Lopez Stadium.

Just as the media were paying attention to the first game of the Magic Tang Bet, the Spanish Football Association released a message that morning!

At the regular press conference of the Football Association, the Football Association announced that after careful consideration and analysis, the Football Association agreed to Betis' application for adjusting the schedule. The Football Association will advance the 37th round of the league, Betis' home match against La Coruña to the mid-week three days ago, and the 38th round of the league, Betis' away challenge to Valencia will be postponed for three days!

As soon as this news was announced, it immediately attracted enthusiastic attention from the media!

Because everyone is keenly aware that this news is definitely very helpful to Tang Feng’s bet!

With such adjustments to the schedule, the impact of Betis' League Cup final on the league and the tension of the season-end schedule seems to have been greatly reduced...
