Chapter 378: A team born from civilians—Real Betis
Baptisto, who was born in the youth training of Rayo Vallecano, played on loan at Villarreal last season. His scoring efficiency has been average in recent years. However, in the five warm-up training games that just ended, Baptisto Scoring 3 goals shows excellent condition and adaptability.

Ecuadorian international Caicedo (8 goals), who was the main force last season, will partner with Baptisto on the front line in the new season, while substitute forward Gerard Mo, who was more efficient last year (7 goals and 3 assists), Renault is not without a chance.

In addition, there is Rufus Ellaïs from the B team on the reserve list. His good position is the second forward.

The most famous historical player of the Espanyol team is undoubtedly the legendary goalkeeper Zamora. Zamora, who was active in his career at the beginning of this century, won the silver medal in the 1920 Olympic Games and the title of best goalkeeper in the 1934 World Cup with the national team. At the same time, he He won the title of best goalkeeper while playing for Espanyol in 1928-1929 (the first season of La Liga), and in the same year led Espanyol to win the first national championship - the Copa del Rey.

The current best goalkeeper in La Liga is named after him. Zamora also played for city rival Barcelona, ​​and won the best goalkeeper and league championship twice while playing for Real Madrid from 1931 to 1933. After retiring, Zamora coached the Spanish team three times, but the results were not satisfactory.

Of course, the Spanish stars that domestic fans are most familiar with are from modern times, such as "Little Buddha" De La Pena, who was transferred from Barcelona, ​​and Tamudo, who holds the record for appearances and goals in team history (340 goals in 129 games). partner David Garcia, and then-captain Dani Jarque who passed away in 09 (the name written on the vest that Iniesta wore to celebrate his World Cup goal in 10).

Espanyol ranks seventh in La Liga's all-time list, 7 points behind sixth-placed Sevilla, but they have participated in nine more seasons of La Liga games than Sevilla.

The Spaniards did not win the La Liga championship. They have entered the top 16 of the La Liga season 6 times in history, but their best result was only 3rd in the league. They suffered in the four seasons of 61-62, 69-70, 88-89 and 92-93. Relegated, but will return to La Liga the following year. It has currently played in La Liga for 24 consecutive seasons (a total of 81 seasons).

此外，西班牙人队还保持这一个尴尬的纪录-西甲第一支输掉1000场比赛的球队（第1000场为2011-2012赛季客场1-2不敌巴伦西亚），第二名毕尔巴鄂竞技（负907场）距离他们（1058场）还有100余场。西班牙人队在西甲获胜场次为933场，战平597场。

The Espanyol team has won the Copa del Rey four times, except for Zamora's victory in 4.

It has entered the Europa League for two consecutive seasons and reached the semi-finals last season.

Next, Marcelino achieved success in his first season with Santander (6th in the league) and Zaragoza (promoted to La Liga), and because of his success in Zaragoza His performance won the 2008-2009 La Liga Best Coach Award.

In 2007, they drew 120-2 with the then defending champion Sevilla in 2 minutes. Luis Garcia, Dominguez, and Torrejon missed in the penalty shootout and lost 1-3.

However, facing the return to the Champions League in the new season (which still needs to go through a round of play-offs), the Copa del Rey, and the third-line competition in the league, the submarine's bench depth still relies on internal tapping of potential.

In response, Villarreal loaned Andres Fernandez, who played the main role in Granada last season, on loan from Porto.

But after switching to Huelva, he led the team to La Liga in the first season. Later, because of the team's outstanding performance in La Liga, he and Juande Ramos (Sevilla's then coach) won the Miguel Munoz Award for "Best Coach in La Liga".

The current best goalkeeper in La Liga is named after him. Zamora also played for city rival Barcelona, ​​and won the best goalkeeper and league championship twice while playing for Real Madrid from 1931 to 1933. After retiring, Zamora coached the Spanish team three times, but the results were not satisfactory.

In the 2011-2012 season, Submarine, as a participating team in the Champions League that season, was suddenly relegated to the second division. Unlike the first season in La Liga (1998-1999), the team's overall strength is no longer the same.

Starting from the 2013rd round of La Liga in 23, he started coaching Villarreal after being idle for about a year. In the remaining games, he achieved 13 wins, 6 draws and 2 losses, rising from 10th to 2nd place. , successfully returned to La Liga.

But with the failure of his second season in Zaragoza, Marcelino could hardly say he was successful whether he returned to Santander or Sevilla.

Fortunately, the team recovered its vitality in the following year. Marcelino, who was elected the best coach in both La Liga and La Liga, took over the team midway through the La Liga season. Since then, in addition to completing the upgrade, he has played at least 100 games in La Liga every season. After finishing the season in the top six, the Submarines have returned to the ranks of strong teams. But now, it is still difficult to challenge the top order of Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Real Madrid, but at least Villarreal has the ability to self-generate. Already at the forefront of La Liga.

Although he was a member of the Spanish National Youth Team and the National Olympic Team during the team period, Marcelino chose to retire before the age of 30 due to injuries.

The Spaniard participated in the Europa League (and the predecessor UEFA Cup) 7 times, reaching the finals twice and losing in penalty kicks.

This team was a low-level league team before the 80s. After entering the La Liga stage at the end of the last century (1998), it only experienced two relegations (1998-1999 and 2011-2012), and also won the trophy 1 league runner-up (2007-2008), 9 times in the top 6 of the league (European competition area), the best result in the European competition reached the semi-finals (2005-2006 Champions League, 2015-2016 Europa League), and more importantly The formation of Villarea's youth training system is the cornerstone of the team's true foothold in La Liga.

还有1940年（决赛加时赛3-2击败皇马），2000年（半决赛击败皇马，决赛2-1击败马竞），2006年（决赛4-1大胜皇家萨拉戈萨）的三次折桂。

However, if former Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Asenjo can stay healthy, he is still very likely to compete for a main position.

Although the owner Fernando Roig is a billionaire, since he took over Villarreal (then in the fourth tier) in 1996, the team has never burned money in order to achieve quick results, but has built steadily and step by step. .

Of course, the Spanish stars that domestic fans are most familiar with are from modern times, such as "Little Buddha" De La Pena, who was transferred from Barcelona, ​​and Tamudo, who holds the record for appearances and goals in team history (340 goals in 129 games). partner David Garcia, and then-captain Dani Jarque who passed away in 09 (the name written on the vest that Iniesta wore to celebrate his World Cup goal in 10).

1988年两回合3-3战平勒沃库森，点球2-3失利。

The main goalkeeper last season, the young French goalkeeper Areola, who was on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, was recalled by his home team for the new season.

He picked up the coach three years later. Born in Sporting de Gijon, he spent five seasons in the B team of his home team and got the opportunity to lead the first team, but he failed to lead the team to La Liga.

As for the third goalkeeper Argentinian Barbosa, it is estimated that he will not get too many playing opportunities.

The defender sold Ivory Coast's young center back Bailly for 3800 million. Although the net income was more than 3000 million (introduced from Espanyol for 570 million euros a year ago), Villarreal's center back has also begun to become Somewhat weak.

Fortunately, AC Milan's transfer has not yet been decided. Musacchio, who has already negotiated a good deal with Milan City, may not leave because of insufficient transfer fees. Otherwise, the Submarine's center back partner in the new season will only be Victor Rui. Si and Italian veteran Bonera.

Moreover, in the summer window, Villarreal sent Pantic (on loan to Alaves) and Inigoues (on loan to Rayo Vallecano), who had returned from loan, out for training. It can be said that last season Musacchio, who is gradually losing his main position, can choose to stay on the team, making the team less stretched at this position.

Adrian Marin, who competed with Jaume Costa for the main left back last season, was loaned to newly promoted La Liga team Leganes in the summer window. Jaume Costa may temporarily settle into the starting lineup. Bojan Jokic, who returned on loan from Nottingham Forest, and Jose Angel, who was on loan from Porto, both need to perform better. Jose Angel's form plummeted after moving from Real Sociedad to Porto two years ago. .

In terms of right back, Villarreal's own youth training player Gaspar will definitely continue to occupy the main position. The 32-year-old Serbian veteran Rukavina will have opportunities when he fights on multiple lines.

Bruno Soriano and Terry Gross (*belonged to Barcelona and Murcia during their youth team period, but spent the entire youth team period in the C and B teams of Submarine), two Villarreal youth players A player with a training background, he became the best defensive partner in the midfield last season. Compared with this pair, Jonathan Dos Santos still has fewer playing opportunities.

In the new season, midfielder Ndiaye (800 million euros) and Italian Roberto Soriano (1500 million euros) have been transferred to Villarreal. The joining of two high-priced central midfielders, although for The "original" barrier and the placement of little Dos Santos are a bit of a shock.

But the Submarines will play in the Champions League next season, so it is necessary to strengthen the depth and thickness of position candidates. Also able to play this position is Team B's "reserve" Rodri Fernandez, who is 190cm tall.

As for Thomas Bina (27 of 8 appearances last season as a substitute) and Sergio Marcos (loaned to Lugo last season), who are no longer in the plan for the new season, they were transferred to Brugge in Belgium. (300 million euros) and Real Valladolid of La Liga (free transfer).

The return of main player Denis Suarez to Barcelona and the transfer of substitute Samu Garcia to Rubin Kazan in the Russian Super League have dealt a big blow to Villarreal's wing attack. As a supplement, the team has successively acquired young Argentine players in the summer window. Christian Espinoza (€720 million) and Cheryshev (€700 million) who signed back with Real Madrid.

Among the remaining players, Castillejo has gradually emerged last season. Considering that Cheryshev will not fully recover from injury until September, Castillejo may compete for a main position on the wing in the new season.

In the case of other full-backs or wingers leaving the team, Alfonso Pedraza, who was promoted from Team B, was loaned to Lugo for training, and two players who returned from loan, Javier Espinoza (returned from Elche) and Moi Gomez (returning from Getafe) moved to Levante and Sporting Gijon on free transfers respectively.

Although it was once rumored that the Chinese Super League team was interested in Villarreal's Congolese forward Bakambu, but as the summer window of the Chinese Super League closed, the rumors finally became rumors.

The combination of Bakambu (scoring 22 goals and assisting 4 goals) and veteran Soldado (scoring 8 goals and assisting 15 goals) complemented each other last season.

Although the two substitutes Adrian Lopez (returned to Porto on loan) and Leon Baptisto (returned to Atletico Madrid on loan and then loaned to Espanyol) left the team respectively in the summer window, they are looking forward to returning to the European arena. The joining of Pato, the Brazilian veteran who has proven himself, still makes people not to underestimate Villarreal's forward strength. As for the other new player, the first Qatari player to play in La Liga, he is only a 19-year-old genius. Afef, Villarreal first loaned him to Sporting Gijon for training to see if he can adapt to the rhythm of the European arena.

Bruno Soriano (393 games) surpassed Senna (387 games) last season to become the player with the most appearances in Villarreal's history, and he will continue to refresh his record in the new season.

He is also the current player with the most goals for Villarreal (26 goals). The most goals in team history are Italy's Giuseppe Rossi (93 goals), but in the new season forward Bakambu (22 goals) It will definitely surpass Soriano’s goal record.

Villarreal's four historical records are related to Real Madrid: the largest home and away defeat.

以及第一场西甲比赛和第一个西甲进球：07-08赛季第二轮主场0-5负于皇马，09-10赛季第23轮客场6-2负于皇马，98-99赛季第一轮1-4负于皇马，卡拉伊奥贝阿奴第三分钟为比利亚雷亚尔打进西甲的首个进球。

Retired Uruguayan star Diego Forlan was the top scorer in La Liga during the 04-05 season while playing for Villarreal, which was the only La Liga individual honor that Submarine won.

此外弗兰还保持着球队最多连续进球的纪录-04-05赛季第15-19轮，连续5轮打进7球。

Won the league championship before the Spanish Civil War (1934-1935), and won the King's Cup before Franco stepped down (1976-1977). If it had not won the King's Cup for the second time in 2005, Real Betis's honor room could be said to be worthy of mention. It is a portrayal of the process of Spanish modern history.

Although the best season in recent years was also eliminated by city rival Sevilla in the Europa League, and although it returned to La Liga again last year, Real Betis' dignity and heritage as a veteran team are still very deep. , it is worth looking forward to whether they can break away from the relegation group as soon as possible in the new season.

Well, compared to Sevilla, Real Betis's life is indeed a little shabby, as their fans claim, "We are a civilian team."

Uruguayan Poyet seems to be well-known in the Premier League, but he is no stranger to La Liga. He spent the peak period of his player career in Zaragoza. His contract with Betis has been extended until 2018. In the new season, the team The signings cost 2000 million euros, and Poyet wanted to ensure that the new club would no longer be at the bottom of the list.

Betis' goalkeeper position has not changed in the new season. Adan, who was born in Real Madrid, will continue to play his fourth season in the team as the main player. The substitute positions include veteran Danny Jimenez and B team youngster Pedro- Lopez.

On the back line, Betis let go of Molinero (moved to Getafe), Westermann (moved to Ajax), Barrera (moved to Oviedo) and the players on loan from Barcelona. Montoya (returning from loan), four players who rotated last season.

The only signing was the signing of their central defender Mandy from Ligue 400 Reims (a Ligue team last season but was relegated) for million euros.

Among the remaining players, Argentine Pezzea and Bruno Gonzalez may compete for the main center back position.

As Peruvian veteran Vargas is getting older, Betis has gradually become younger this season and has also made adjustments to the full-backs. Danish international Dulmic came from Brondby for 200 million euros and Alex Martin returned from loan. Ness.

Betis's number of candidates who can play left back has suddenly increased to three, and on the right there are only Italian teenager Picini and the teenager Rafa Navado who was promoted by Team B.

Betis's biggest loss in the summer window was last season's main midfielder Senegal international Ndiaye who was transferred to Villarreal for 800 million euros.

Correspondingly, Betis bought Chilean international Felipe Gutierrez from Eredivisie Twente for 350 million euros and Jonas Martin from French Ligue 300 Montpellier for million euros, both of which are Mesozoic. potential stocks.

In fact, Betis's midfielder position is still sufficient, even a little bloated.

Among the remaining players, Argentine Pezzea and Bruno Gonzalez may compete for the main center back position.

Brazilian Petrus and Dani Ceballos, a young player from his own youth training, both performed well last season and have a chance to compete for the main position. Xavi Torres is also a good substitute.

Betis have retained all of their wide attackers from last season and have also signed Matías on loan from Villarreal.

The players who remain on the team are led by the 35-year-old veteran Joaquín, the pride of Betis, as well as Cejudo, who can play the entire right wing, Malaga youth training product Francisco Portilu, and Algeria fringe international Kadir As well as Belgian youngster Musonda who has renewed his lease for another year.

The forward line was the most painful position for Betis last season. Although Ruben Castro was immortal (scored 19 goals), his long-term partner Molina (only scored 1 goal in the last round) and a number of introductions The new forwards are all in a state of misfire.

Real Betis had to almost rebuild its forward line for the new season.
