Chapter 35: Derby Win

Meeting the future "Hawkeye Manager" Meng Qi in a bar made Tang Feng feel much better.

The two guys who were not doing well in their respective clubs were very good. The two drank and chatted until late at night under the "watching" of many Sevilla fans in the bar.

Since I learned about Mengqi's information before traveling through time, Tang Feng easily found a common topic with him.

At the same time, as a time traveler, some of the soccer knowledge he had learned very ordinary in the future also made Meng Qi amazed Tang Feng.

In short, Tang Feng fully seized this hard-won opportunity to communicate with Mengqi and strived to leave an indelible impression in his mind.

Although Monkey did not agree to Tang Feng's bet, Tang Feng still decided to work hard to perform, and try to become a head coach before Monkey made a difference in Seville Club, and then poached him to help him.

Of course, even if Mengqi cannot be dug up, Tang Feng hopes that he can become the team coach as soon as possible.

After all, being a time traveler, wasting time is equivalent to wasting his prophet advantage.

On the team, after experiencing the pain of two consecutive losses, they gradually adjusted. Although many players' minds are no longer on the team, this week, the players are still preparing for the game. The reason is very simple. This weekend they will usher in a Sevilla city derby!

Perhaps most of the players in Betis will leave the team after the season ends. But as a member of Betis, they still attach great importance to the same-city derby.

Like most of the mortal enemies in the city, the hatred between Betis and Sevilla is almost irreconcilable.

For Sevilla and Betis fans, it is even happier to see their arch-rivals in the city being hit harder, even more so than to win.

In the 19961997 season, Betis lost to Sporting Gijon, who needed to grab the score and relegation in the 1997 season, and this result directly led to Sevilla's early relegation.

And this season, the Sevilla also took revenge on Betis.

After most of the season, they still ranked at the bottom of the points without any improvement. They were either tied or lost against Betis' relegation rivals Atletico Madrid, Real Ovido and Numancia. Especially Ovido and Numancia, two teams outside the relegation zone. In the second half of the season, they easily scored three points from Sevilla.

They all acted so tit-for-tat on the field, let alone the situation where the two teams competed in the same field. There is no doubt that every Sevilla derby battle is also full of Mars!

Even, in the eyes of many Sevilla and Betis fans, the Sevilla derby is the real Spanish national derby!

After this season, both teams may be relegated to Class B, and there will be no hot Sevilla derby in the La Liga next year!

Therefore, both players and fans of both sides attach great importance to this derby battle that is still participating as a La Liga team!

Sevilla media are also very concerned about this derby war.

Although Betis and Sevilla performed very badly this season, for local media, they are their own children after all, and they still have to hurt when it should be hurt!

Therefore, before the game began, the local media in Seville still conducted a comprehensive report on the game.

As the largest sports newspaper in Andalusia, the Daily Sports newspaper, made a comprehensive comparison of the Seville two heroes.

In fact, they had already made some analysis as early as the first leg of the season in the Sevilla derby.

However, they concluded at that time that Sevilla, which has the Uruguayan Gang, is slightly stronger.

However, another half a season has passed.

Although Betis is only ranked last, their points ahead of Sevilla are more than ten.

Therefore, in this analysis, Lucas, editor-in-chief of Daily Sports, overturned the conclusion of the last time. He believed that Betis was ahead of Sevilla in terms of strength, from coach to players.

Especially in terms of the strength of the two sides in the frontcourt, Lucas even believed that Betis had beaten Sevilla in all respects.

Before this game, news from Betis that Denilson had already begun to participate in the off-ball training. Although Denilson will not be able to participate in the Sevilla derby, it is very likely to catch up with the next round of the game against Alaves.

Except for Denilson, neither side has any injuries or suspension. It can be said that in this same-city derby, both sides can do their best!

At 9 p.m. on May 6, the Sevilla derby battle will start Ruiz Lopela Stadium!

Before the game started, the stands of the Lopela Stadium were divided into two pieces, among which the green and white belonging to Betis undoubtedly occupied most of the country, while Sevilla fans were squeezed into a corner of the stadium.

Although the team has basically confirmed to be relegated, Betis fans are still very enthusiastic today.

In their opinion, even after the game is over, the team will be relegated two rounds ahead of schedule. They will also have to kill Sevilla before this, and then suffer.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, the referee on duty blew the whistle to start the game!

The Lopera Stadium ushered in its first climax!

Standing in front of the coach's seat, feeling the hot derby atmosphere in the stands. Tang Feng felt the blood in his body burning.

He could not wait to imagine how hot the atmosphere would be when the team broke through the Sevilla goal!

Like Betis fans, Tang Feng temporarily forgot about the concern that Betis may be relegated early after the game. Instead, he is ready to enjoy this derby feast with all his heart!

Before the game, Tang Feng had seen Sevilla's starting lineup. Among their starting lineup, Tang Feng only found two familiar names. One was Uruguayan striker Salayeta who played for Juventus in the future. The other was midfielder Oliveira, who also came from Uruguay.

However, what he didn't know was that this Oliveira was not the Uruguayan midfielder Oliveira who also played for Juventus in the future. It was just that these two Oliveira had the same surname, came from the same country and played in the same position.

From this point of view, the strength of this Sevilla team is indeed very ordinary.

After the game started, Betis completely suppressed Sevilla amid the cheers of fans all over the court.

After more than twenty minutes of bombing, Betis finally opened the door of Sevilla!

This is an attack launched by Joaquin on the left.

After receiving a pass from Alexis, he advanced along the left sideline.

After dribbing the ball to the position flush with the penalty area line, he suddenly pushed the ball into the middle and cut it directly!

After continuously dribbling the ball horizontally to the middle of the penalty area, Hua Jin made a move to the goal, but in fact he sent a straight pass!

The ball penetrated the Sevilla defenders who were rushing up and came to Sevilla's penalty area.

Alfonso inserted into the penalty area at high speed, received a pass from Joaquin, and then easily pushed and shot!

As the ball entered the net, most of the Lopela Stadium erupted like a boiling volcano!

"goal! Alfonso! Alfonso! Alfonso!" The commentator on the scene almost roared this sentence.

Side-side!

Tang Feng also put aside his personal grudges with Alfonso, rushed to the edge excitedly, and celebrated frantically!

I don’t know when it started, but the Chinese translator Tang Feng has become an alternative landscape in front of the Betis coach’s seat.

For home fans, they have become accustomed to Tang Feng's exaggerated celebrations.

In addition to Tang Feng, the substitutes and other coaches on the bench were also celebrating excitedly.

After the season ends, many of them may leave the team, but at this moment, as a member of Betis, everyone cannot help but be excited about the team's lead in the derby!

On the field!

Alfonso, who scored the goal, also rushed to the stands and enjoyed the crazy cheers of the home fans.

As a Spanish international, it will be no surprise that Alfonso will leave the team after Betis is relegated. Moreover, he does not have to worry about buyers.

But he has been playing for Betis for five years. As one of the most appealing stars at Lopela Stadium, he also enjoys the feeling of playing here.

Once Betis is relegated, then separation will be inevitable. So, he is also seizing the opportunity to present his performance to these lovely fans!

The game starts again after the Betis people celebrate!

The Sevilla team, who was behind in the score, also launched a crazy counterattack.

For them who have determined the relegation quota early, this Sevilla game is their last important game of the season. Therefore, they don’t need to have any scruples or reservations.

The "Uruguayan Gang" created by Sevilla are all young people, and Salayta and Oliveira are both in their early twenties. Therefore, what they lack the least is motivation.

Before, their momentum was wiped out by the team's poor record.

But in this derby, their enthusiasm was completely mobilized.

Salayeta is 1.88 meters tall and has a very strong impact. And as a South American player, his feet are also good.

He was also very active in Betis' penalty area and created several threats in a row.

Before the end of the first half, his forced turn and shot after receiving the ball in the penalty area really shocked the Betis fans' sweat.

Fortunately, Antonio Platz was very focused in front of the goal, and he flew to the side and kept the ball out.

In the end, Betis entered the halftime break with a 1-0 lead!

After returning to the locker room, many Betis players began to inquire about the situation on the other two venues.

Since they are seven points away from the two teams outside the relegation zone, Numancia and Real Ovido, as long as both teams win this round, no matter what the result of Betis's game is, they will be relegated two rounds ahead of schedule.

However, none of the players who asked about the situation got the answer because Hiddink blocked the news of two other courts in the locker room.

Although he also knows that the team's hope of relegation is almost zero, he still hopes that the players can play this city derby wholeheartedly, which can also end his Betis career with a relatively better end.

After Hiddink explained his ideas, he also received support from the players.

Everyone also decided to ignore the situation of the other two courts for the time being, and then play this derby battle first.

The two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half. At the beginning of the game, Sevilla launched a fierce attack.

Obviously, they also want to leave a relatively exciting mark for this bad season with a win in a derby game.

The Sevilla performance was hard, but God did not seem to be on their side today.

They got several chances of winning in a row, but they missed the goal.

On the contrary, Betis seized the opportunity of Sevilla's attack and launched a counterattack!

Vidakovic pushed Sevilla's cross out of the penalty area. After Alexis took the ball outside the penalty area, he turned around and sent a long pass directly to the left of the frontcourt!
