Stand by the last line of defense

Chapter 82 Pre-match Strategy

The last time they lost to Zaragoza by 1 goal, Real Betis was very unconvinced.

However, since then, Real Betis's performance has been getting better and better, firmly occupying the No.1 league, which has changed the mentality of Real Betis drastically.

The whole team is full of confidence, and they intend to win the La Liga championship in one fell swoop this season, and then fill up La Liga in one breath.

This home game against Zaragoza is not only a revenge battle, but more importantly, Zaragoza is their main opponent in the league.

As long as they can beat Zaragoza, they will secure their number one position in the league and beat their opponents.

At present, this game is about who is the number one in the La Liga. More than 6 home tickets are all sold out.

This is indeed very bad news for Zaragoza fans.

Because there are only five or six thousand tickets allocated to them.

All others were purchased by Real Betis fans.Zaragoza fans were very dissatisfied that their favorite team actually wanted to fight under the intimidation of their opponents.

Even if many fans do not have tickets, they all go to Seville together.They are ready to play shoulder to shoulder with the team off the court.

On the morning of the game, Zaragoza's players arrived in Seville.In the afternoon, the players performed routine adaptation training on the field.

Popovich was interviewed by the media on the sidelines of the court.

"Zaragoza's goal was clear from the beginning, that is, to get No.1 in the Second Division and rush to La Liga. If you don't make it to La Liga this season, it will be a failure."

"Real Betis is very strong, and they have a very good record at home. G. Calderon is a very experienced coach, Zaragoza can achieve such results this season is not unrelated to him."

After complimenting Real Betis, Popovich changed the subject.

"However, we are unbeaten this season. In the fourth round of the league, we beat them. So I think this game will be very fierce. But the victory will belong to us!"

This event is related to the top position in the league, and no player will admit before the game that he is not as good as his opponent.

It is all about showing strong confidence and combat effectiveness.

Zheng Long said in an interview with "Aragon Daily News": "Zaragoza and Real Betis have performed very well in the Second Division. Both teams have achieved results through their own strength."

"Real Betis will be Zaragoza's strongest opponent, but we must win in the end!"

……

The content of such an interview must have spread quickly to Real Betis.

It made Real Betis angry from top to bottom.

Before the game even started, you threatened to win.This is clearly looking down on our Real Betis.

As the captain, Castro immediately shouted in an interview.

"That Huaxia player was just a fluke, this time we will conquer the gate of his handle!"

"Our Real Betis has gone through the running-in period, and now we are strong and have a tacit cooperation. We will definitely not waste opportunities like the beginning of the league!"

"Victory is ours!"

It's different from the players who have a heavy tone, but they have to maintain a decent face anyway.

Netizens are not so easy to talk about.

As Real Betis fans left messages on Zaragoza's official website, forums and other places, they left a lot of ugly words.

It caused Zaragoza to fight back.

The game has not yet been played, and the fans took the lead in launching a big battle...

……

The game is about to lead, and the Spanish media have also made predictions about the game.

"Marca": La Liga No.1 battle?Zaragoza has the strongest shield, Zheng Long, who guards Zaragoza and has maintained an unbeaten record in the league so far.But their performance was unstable, with great ups and downs.

Real Betis has come a long way from a tumultuous start to the season.But facing the interceptor Zheng Long, can they conquer the door that Zheng Long handles?Perhaps a draw would be the result of such a match.

Catalonia's "Daily Sport" has always been at odds with "Marca".

In many cases, what "Marca" agrees with, "Daily Sports" will oppose.

However, in the face of this round of competition, it is rare for "Daily Sports Daily" and "Marca" to have the same point of view.

"Daily Sports Daily": According to the odds offered by William Hill, this round of competition is likely to start with a draw.

All major European bookmakers and lottery companies have offered Zaragoza a tie for this round of competition.

They all feel that this round of match between Zaragoza and Real Betis will most likely end in a draw.

……

Lopera Stadium, a sea of ​​olive green.

As the game time is approaching, at this time, players from both sides of Zaragoza and Real Betis have already started to line up and walk out of the stadium.

The stadium was full of cheers from Real Betis, and the rolling olive green waves rose one after another.

For the away team's Zaragoza players, the noise here will be accompanied by their 90 minutes at all times.

But for these customary noises of away games, it's nothing to them.

When captain Pedro led the Zaragoza players into the field, the Real Betis fans were just a routine provocation.

But when Zheng Long played, all Real Betis fans roared at him.

Zheng Long enjoyed the "cheers" like "you're a donkey" and "get off".

The highlight of this round of West Second Division, Searle Radio sports program ruled out their mainstay Manolo to match his old partner Pepe.

Seeing Royal Besty play all kinds of mocking cards against Zheng Long, Manolo shouted.

"It seems that Real Betis fans are very 'enthusiastic' to Zheng Long. Even if I sit here, I can clearly hear all kinds of greetings from Real Betis' Zheng Long."

Pepe agreed. "Of course, if Real Betis wants to beat Zaragoza, they must first defeat Zheng Long. If they can't break through the gate controlled by Zheng Long, Real Betis has no possibility of winning. Of course they will try their best Put pressure on Zheng Long!"

cried Manolo. "But it seems that the interceptor has not received any impact. Also, if even this pressure can't stand it. How can he help Zaragoza remain unbeaten in the league so far. Break the longest clean sheet in the Spanish league ? Oh, now I've got the starting rosters for both teams!"

"It's no surprise that Zaragoza is still the main attacking 343 lineup."

"However, to our surprise, Real Betis, this time they set up a 433 lineup. Judging from the lineups of the two teams, this game will probably be an offensive battle!"

"G. Calderon seems not to want to show weakness at home, he plans to beat Zaragoza at home!"

"Before the season, everyone predicted that this game would end in a draw. It seems that it is unlikely to happen!"

Popovich breathed a sigh of relief after getting Real Betis' starting roster from the assistant.

It appears that the pre-season provocative strategy has paid off.

For the current Zaragoza, he is not afraid of the opponent's attack, and this time will bring more space to Zaragoza's frontcourt players.

The fear is that the opponent has chosen a conservative defensive strategy.

In this case, Zaragoza will be difficult to fight.

Now being provoked, Real Betis, the number one in the league, is not easy to show weakness.Otherwise, they will not be able to deal with the fans, and it will also bring a major blow to the morale of their own players.

Popovich is happy with his strategy.

Now that I have done what I should do, it depends on Zheng Long's performance!
　Explain. There will be an exam on September 9th, after the exam, more updates will begin!
