393 Treat them as Real Madrid(1/2)
Tang Feng on the sidelines couldn't help but secretly applauding in his heart for the wonderful volleyball shot of Xavi Alonso. However, he did not show it from his face.
He still sat in his position with a blank expression.
On the field!
Xavi Alonso, who scored the goal, did not celebrate too much, but directly called his teammates to take the ball out of the goal, and walked towards his own half and shouted: "One goal is not enough! We need more goals!"
Betis' players also agreed with the captain's words, so everyone ran towards their half without too much celebration.
The Betis did not celebrate and the game was soon able to restart.
For the remaining ten minutes of the first half, Betis almost formed a siege against Real Sociedad's goal.
For a moment, Real Sociedad's goal was in a panic.
Betis's repeated threatening attacks caused the home fans in the stands to keep exclaiming.
Faced with this situation, Real Sociedad also began to shrink its formation under the instructions of their coach Denue, striving to maintain the lead in the first half.
In fact, they did this.
Although they played in a mess during these ten minutes, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, they entered the locker room with a 2-1 lead!
...
As usual, Tang Feng was the last one to come in after the players returned to the locker room.
Seeing Tang Feng come in, the players in the locker room were somewhat nervous.
Because they remembered Tang Feng's expressionless look after Xavi Alonso scored.
Tang Feng's expression shows that he is still very dissatisfied with the one-to-two score, so the players are worried that Tang Feng will get angry in the locker room.
However, to the players' surprise, Tang Feng's face was still very calm when he walked into the locker room.
After getting to his position, Tang Feng did not speak immediately, but gave the players a rest before speaking: "I told you before the game that Real Sociedad's lineup this season is very good, especially in the midfield and frontcourt, with excellent attack power. Their performance in the previous few games also proved this point. But obviously, you didn't seem to listen to my words. Our goal was broken twice by the opponent after only twenty minutes of the game. This was not only because the opponent's attack power was excellent, but also because we were not focused enough!"
"Yes, we all had the advantage in the previous few encounters with Real Sociedad. But I hope you understand one thing, that is, our opponents are not static. They will all make progress, and they may even be completely different in two seasons! In my opinion, Real Sociedad is such a team! Although they were only ranked in the middle and lower reaches last season, this season, their record will definitely improve significantly. According to their current lineup, let alone entering the League Cup, I would not be surprised if I hit the Champions League qualification!"
Hearing Tang Feng's comments, the players in the locker room took a breath.
Because they never expected that Tang Feng would have such a high evaluation of his opponent.
To hit the Champions League?
You should know that the competition in La Liga in these seasons is very fierce. In the first two seasons, Real Madrid and Barcelona ranked fifth one after another. Real Madrid won the Champions League championship that year and then "negotiated" through the Football Association and the fourth-place league Zaragoza, before they caught the last train of the Champions League that followed. As for Barcelona, this season, they can only play hard to play the League Cup.
Even Real Madrid and Barcelona cannot guarantee that they will be qualified for the top four leagues. The boss actually said that Real Sociedad is expected to compete for the Champions League qualification?
The most surprising one is Harvey Alonso, who was born in the Real Sociedad youth training camp.
Although he had completely regarded himself as a Betis after returning to Betis, he would inevitably pay more attention to his parent team.
Judging from the results, Real Sociedad is a powerful team in Spain.
Because, Real Sociedad has two La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey titles and one Spanish Super Cup title. This result is better than Betis before Tang Feng took over.
In addition, Real Sociedad has maintained a record of unbeaten in La Liga in 38 consecutive games!
However, in recent seasons, Real Sociedad has completely become a team of losers. In the past four or five seasons, their record has been hovering in the middle and lower reaches, giving people the feeling of a team that has no desires and no enterprising spirit.
Therefore, Xavi Alonso could not imagine that this team could be expected to compete for the Champions League qualification as Tang Feng commented!
Seeing the players' surprise performance, Tang Feng chuckled. He also knew that his words would inevitably give people an alarmist feeling in the eyes of this.
But as a veteran, he knows how crazy Real Sociedad's performance this season is.
"I know you may not believe me, but I think you have already felt the strength of this Real Sociedad team in the first half. In the second half, I hope you can cheer me up with a spirit of 200%, just like you will hit them when you play Real Madrid!" Tang Feng continued.
Play Real Sociedad like playing Real Madrid?
Tang Feng's words surprised the players again, but obviously no player would give a negative answer.
...
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, neither team made any personnel adjustments.
After the rest of the midfield, after the second half, Real Sociedad began to fight against Betis as he did at the beginning of the first half.
Obviously, Denue knew very well that it would be very difficult for them to defend the lead by one goal by simply defending. Therefore, he still planned to rely on offenses that the team is better at.
After Tang Feng’s midfielder reminded him, the Betis players performed much more positively in the second half.
Even so, Real Sociedad still creates some threats from time to time.
Of course, Betis' offense is not inferior to Real Sociedad.
This game seemed to have become a stage for the attackers of the two teams to show off their offensive talents!
The fast pace on the court made the fans in the stands and in front of the TV a little breathless, but they couldn't help but feel excited about the exciting attacks on the court.
In the 61st minute, Drogba's active press in the frontcourt caused Real Sociedad central defender Jauregi to clear the ball out of the sideline.
Barrera, who had just assisted to return to defense, saw this and ran to the sidelines to pick up the ball.
At this time, Huajin, who was originally running back, quickly inserted it.
Barrera saw Joaquin's running route and threw the ball out of bounds and sent it to Joaquin.
The ball was thrown very comfortably, and Joaquin took the ball forward and controlled the ball.
Betis was about to send a ball outside the border and caught Real Sociedad off guard, and their defense was not enough to make a defense.
Hua Jin also saw this opportunity and accelerated directly, dribbling the ball to the right side of the penalty area!
Seeing Joaquin enter the hinterland of the penalty area, Real Sociedad's defensive players woke up as if they were dreaming. Several nearby defensive players rushed towards Joaquin almost at the same time, forming an encirclement of him.
At this time, Joaquin did not continue to stick to the ball, but instead pushed the ball directly into the goal before he was surrounded.
Because Joaquin attracted a large number of defensive forces, Drogba in front of the goal was empty at this time.
Facing Joaquin's comfortable pass, Drogba had to do very simple, that is, run to the ball and push the ball into the goal!
Drogba did not miss such an opportunity that even a child could seize. He calmly pushed the ball into the lower left corner of the goal!
The entire Arnoetta Stadium suddenly fell into silence!
Until more than 2,000 Betis fans burst into excited cheers!
On the field!
Drogba, who scored the goal, did not celebrate, but walked towards the midfield with the ball in his arms.
This action surprised the Real Sociedad people on the scene.
Oh my God, they didn't celebrate when they fell behind from zero to two-2? Isn't this a look down on people? Do they really think that we Real Sociedad is so easy to deal with?
So, the booed the home fans in the stands. Real Sociedad players also seemed very angry.
Side-side!
Tang Feng's smile flashed across his face when he saw the team tie the score.
He hopes that the players will continue to score goals and strive to overtake the score, so he knows that he cannot show a satisfied expression at this time.
...
The game started over soon.
Betis, who chased two goals in a row, had a strong morale and wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue. The angry Real Sociedad also burst out with its own combat power, and the confrontation on the field became more intense.
These intensity is not only reflected in the offense between the two sides, but also in defense and confrontation.
Near the midfield, there were several consecutive situations where players were overturned.
The referee on duty had to take out four yellow cards in a row before he controlled the scene of collapse.
After several midfield defenders were all sucked by cards, the defensive movements of both sides of the midfield became relatively gentle, and the offense became hot again.
Among them, Betis, who played away, created relatively more threats than the home team Real Sociedad.
Among them, in the 71st minute, Villa cut in the left and shot a curved ball, and even hit the outside of the post and bounced out of the bottom line, which really scared the people of Real Sociedad sweat.
Seeing the team's outstanding performance, Tang Feng stood up again, looking forward to the team's goal to overtake.
However, just as the Betis team was united and waiting for the team's third goal, their backyard caught fire!
In the 76th minute, Russian veteran Kalping received a pass from his teammate near the penalty area line on the right and faced Evra.
Evra took his position, blocked Calping's passing route, and was ready to welcome Calping's breakthrough at any time.
After Carpin's body shaking slightly, it broke through to the bottom line.
Although Evra responded quickly, he was passive after all, so his activation was a little slower than half a beat.
This half beat made Calping shake a fleeting gap, and Calping chose to cross without hesitation.
Seeing this situation, Evra immediately stretched out her legs to block Carpin's cross.
Soon, Evra felt that his right leg was hit by a ball, which made him happy, thinking that he had successfully blocked Carpin's cross.
However, this joyful mood lasted only 0.1 second!
Because soon, he felt his arm touching the ball.
