Chapter 44: One-on-one match against Real Madrid's entire team

With DeNilson's final half-time win, the relegated team Betis, who was not favored before the game and was completely at a disadvantage in the game, actually entered the locker room at the halftime with the advantage of leading Real Madrid 2-0.

I'm afraid even the most optimistic Betis fans did not expect this result before the game.

At the end of the first half, when Tang Feng returned to the locker room from the player's passage, he had already heard the praise from Betis fans in the stands.

"Tang, beautifully done!"

"You are awesome, Chinese Tang!"

"Let us take away Real Madrid, Don!"

...

Even Tang Feng heard some fans shouting the slogan "Let us return to La Liga next season, Tang!"

These calls made Tang Feng feel very accomplished, and at the same time he began to think about a question, that is, will the club be moved by his performance in this game and then give himself a chance to become the team coach?

No matter what, let’s play this game first!

...

When he returned to the locker room, Tang Feng could feel that the players were in a very good mood and were not as dead as the time after the team confirmed the relegation.

At the same time, Tang Feng could also feel that the players' attitude towards him had also undergone subtle changes.

At least, when he entered the locker room, most players' eyes revealed no longer doubt, but affirmation or even... worship.

You should know that when Tang Feng was practicing this defensive counterattack tactic in preparation for the game, most of the players were resistant.

Although Betis's record this season is not good, the team's tactics continue Betis's offensive style. Therefore, they are naturally unhappy to let the players huddle and play football like this.

However, after playing this nearly perfect first half, this resistance basically disappeared.

Because they found that Tang Feng's tactics were leading the team to move forward smoothly towards the goal of defeating the powerful Real Madrid.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Tang Feng knew what he should say: "Gentlemen, I think I have to congratulate you on playing a very efficient first half. I feel extremely proud of your performance!"

Tang Feng gave his own praise to the team's performance as soon as he started. This was not to please the players, but to be proud of the team's performance from the bottom of his heart.

Hearing Tang Feng's praise, the players also smiled happily and applauded.

These applauses were given to Tang Feng and also to himself!

No one doesn't like to hear performances, whether it's elementary school students or these professional players.

"I know that many players expressed doubts about my tactics before the game. Even in the first half of the first half, our tactics also made the fans feel dissatisfied. In all the data in the first half, we were almost far inferior to our opponent Real Madrid. However, in the most important data, we, Real Betis, led Real Madrid by 2-0. And this data directly determines the score that directly determines the result of the game!"

"After the game, people don't think they won the game because Real Madrid is several times our shooting number and nearly twice our possession rate. There is no doubt that as long as we maintain the lead in the score, we can be the winners of this game! After a failed season, we need such an important victory to tell the fans not to despair with us, because we Real Betis... will be back!"

After using his hands to press down and signal the players to be quiet, Tang Feng made this passionate speech.

After hearing Tang Feng's words, the players' fighting spirit was a little stronger than before. Perhaps after this game, they would go their separate ways and leave Betis for other teams or even other leagues. But at this time, they were still part of Betis. No one would like to fail, let alone them as participants in competitive competitions!

After losing for a whole season, they also hope to use a victory as a farewell!

Tang Feng was very satisfied with the players' performance. After motivating the fighting spirit, he began a more substantial speech: "Of course, in the first half, our performance was still some shortcomings. For example, before the game, I emphasized that when defending, we should pay attention to our feet, not easily foul at the front of the penalty area, and not give them free kick opportunities in dangerous areas. But we still gave them a few such opportunities. I think Carlos's free kick also made you realize his threat..."

Tang Feng's words made the players nodded because they did feel the terribleness of Carlos' free kick.

Miroslav Korhan, who used a foul to give Real Madrid that free kick opportunity, lowered his head embarrassedly.

"In the first half, after we completed two sneak attacks from Real Madrid, we must be very dissatisfied. Therefore, they should continue to strengthen their offense in the second half, and even replace several main attackers. In this way, the pressure on our defensive players will become even greater in the second half. I hope everyone can maintain the fighting spirit of the first half. You don't need to worry about physical fitness. Anyone who can't hold on can tell me that we have three substitutions!"

"In addition, although we have already led two goals, our goal in the second half is not to blindly defend. While doing a good job of defense, we must also maintain the efficiency of counterattacks as in the first half. I hope you can remember the saying: our contraction of defense is to accumulate strength and thus make a fatal punch! If we can score another goal in the second half and expand the score to 3-0, I think even if Real Madrid sends all the main lineups, it will be powerless to make the day!"

...

Tang Fengzai carefully made arrangements for the second half, and even meticulously dealt with some details.

This obviously makes it easier for players to understand some of the team's shortcomings in the first half and how to do it in the second half.

After setting up the tactics, Tang Feng walked to Denilson, the team's biggest hero in the first half.

"Dney, you did a very good job in the first half. I think just through forty-five minutes of the first half, you can get the guys who question you to shut their stinky mouths. Of course, you still have half time to prove to people: you, Denilson, are still the top player in the world! Do you know what to do?" Tang Feng said to Denilson.

Denilson didn't talk much, but it didn't mean he had no temper. After being encouraged by Tang Feng, he had already clenched his fists when he recalled the doubts and sarcasm he had received since joining Betis at a sky-high price.

Yes, over the past two years, he has been looking forward to proving to people one thing at a time that he deserves every dollar Lopela put out for him, and he, Denilson, is worth the price!

Unfortunately, when the route he chose was wrong, no matter how hard he tried, it would be difficult to reach people's expected heights.

However, the arrival of Tang Feng, a Chinese translator, was an accidental guide to him to find the right way to play football and also to find the right direction of his efforts!

So, he had a terrifying outbreak at the end of the season. However, the damn injury made him miss the most important month.

The Brazilians did not complain about the world. In the past two years, he persisted in the worst situation. Now that he has found the opportunity to return to the top, how could he give up easily?

"I understand what to do, Don!" Denilson nodded heavily and said firmly in his tone.

"Dney, you are the best!" Tang Feng patted Denielsen's shoulder and encouraged him, and then came to Joaquin not far away.

"Jaojin, how did you feel when you fight Carlos in the first half?" Unlike Denilson, Joaojin is a genius "explored" by Tang Feng himself. Therefore, Tang Feng's attitude towards Joaojin is a bit like the feeling of treating a junior, even if the age gap between the two is less than six years old.

"He is very strong and fast!" Hua Jin gave his own evaluation honestly.

"That's right. This Brazilian is the number one left-back in the world football world today! However, he is not impeccable. I think you have noticed that he likes to intervene in assists. Even if he is very fast and has excellent physical fitness. But when he attacks, it always takes time to return to defense. This period of time is your best opportunity, just like the situation when you assisted Deni in the first half. Do you know?" Tang Feng patiently pointed out.

After hearing Tang Feng's words, Hua Jin started to think seriously. Although he contributed an assist today, he could not take any advantage in the positional battle. Therefore, he basically did not perform much in other times.

According to Tang Feng's words, it is difficult for him to gain an advantage in one-on-one with Carlos. Once Carlos gets an assist and the team gets a chance to counterattack, that is the time for him to perform.

"I think I understand what you mean, Tang!" Hua Jin quickly gave a positive answer.

...

Not long after Tang Feng personally trained the two most important pieces in the counterattack of the team, Denilson and Joaquin, the stadium staff came to urge Betis players to appear.

"Okay, this is the last forty-five minutes of this season. Perhaps it is also the last forty-five minutes of some of you in the team. Don't think too much, let go of your hands and feet and fight! We are already leading two goals, so what reason is there to let the Madrids steal our victory?" Before leaving the locker room, Tang Feng mobilized the team's morale again.

"Victory belongs to Betis, no one can take it away!"

"Yes, we're going to win this game and let Real Madrid go hell!"

"2-0 is not enough, we have to win a bigger score!"

...

After being "picked and funny" by Tang Feng, the players were all like they were injected with chicken blood and became energetic!

"Then come on the stage, gentlemen, defend your victory!" Tang Feng waved his hand and said with a strong look of a general.

...

Before the start of the second half, as Tang Feng guessed, Boske seemed a little dissatisfied with the team being sneaked up by Betis and scored two goals, resulting in two goals falling behind. He used the team's top scorer Raul to replace the young French scorer Anelka who was mediocre in the first half. He obviously wanted to strengthen the offensive.

After the substitution is completed, the second half of the game officially begins!

Betis kicked off the ball in the middle circle, and Galves nudged the ball to Denilson who was standing in the middle circle with him.

Real Madrid players subconsciously pressed forward and prepared to go to the frontcourt to press.

However, they did not see Betis passing the ball back as usual... Denilson, who took the ball, accelerated and drove the ball directly towards Real Madrid's hinterland!

"Oh my God, what is DeNilson doing? Are he going to fight against the entire Real Madrid team alone?" commentator Jessus exclaimed in confusion.

The Betis fans in the stands were surprised that the team suddenly took the initiative to attack in the second half, so they also burst into a huge cheer!

On the sidelines, Tang Feng, who was about to return to the coaching seat, was really shocked by the reaction of the fans in the stands. He turned around and found that Denilson had rushed to Real Madrid's half with the ball.

I'm going, this guy is too arrogant, right?

But... I like it!

This attack tactic was not arranged by Tang Feng, and it was Denilson's own initiative. However, Tang Feng was not only not dissatisfied, but was instead happy for Denilson's independent changes.

Of course, if Denilson's attack could turn into a goal this time, Tang Feng would be even more happy!

Real Madrid players obviously did not expect Denilson to do this, so almost all the midfielders failed to make decent interceptions, and Denilson easily dangled past them.

When Real Madrid players came to their senses, Denilson had already directly faced Elgra, who was the team's midfielder.

Denilson's performance angered Elgra.

Although Elgra failed to get any advantage from De Nielsen in the previous conversations, he decided to give the Brazilian a little color.

Elgra rushed towards Denilson with a fierce look on his face.

Unfortunately, Denilson obviously would not be intimidated by Elgra's apparent aura.

This Brazilian dribbling master began his iconic cycling role.

This provocative action naturally made Elgra even more angry.

Therefore, Elgra gave up his steady defense method, but directly looked at the ball and made a flying tackle!

This tackle was very fierce. Whether Elgra hit the ball or the shovel, Denilson would not feel good.

However, Denilson seemed to have expected Elgra's approach.

He just raised his left foot, which was about to pass the ball, changed his track in a flash, and tweaked the ball to the left. Denilson was like an elf, dexterously avoiding the butcher-like flying shovel of Elgrana.

Wonderful!
