Chapter 11: Meet Xu Genbao

Just before Yan Feng could wait for the notice to go to the first team, before he knew it, two weeks after he came to Laranada had passed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The good news from the first team did not come as expected, but Yan Feng's change in the reserve team was quite gratifying. After two weeks of hard work, Yan Feng can initially keep up with the rhythm of the team.

And when Yan Feng began to adapt, when he was training in normal times, the people in the reserve team really realized that the person who could win the title of Asian Footballer was by no means in vain.

When he didn't adapt to the rhythm of the team, Yan Feng always seemed a little out of touch in the team cooperation in addition to his single defensive ability. And after gradually adapting to such a rhythm, Yan Feng's contribution in defense became more and more amazing.

Just think about it. A man who is stronger than the average centre-back, as fast as a gust of wind, has good physical fitness, strong willpower, and is sometimes cunning in defence. When such a player defends, whoever touches him wants to vomit blood. Not to mention a group of players who are only about 20 years old on average in the reserve team?

Yan Feng's recognition in the reserve team is getting more and more day by day. This is known from the fact that he has already joined the main team in training.

And during this period, the foul-mouthed Mohard was very unhappy, because after Yan Feng entered the main group, it was Mohard who was squeezed into the same position. Although Mohd can actually play a central defender or a forward position, it is clear that manager Lopez does not want to give him a chance at the moment.

Having lost his position, the unwilling Mohd certainly had to find a way to get it back. At first, he still had the idea that Chinese can't play football, but soon he began to wonder if he was the one who couldn't play football. The more he tried to find his place on Yan Feng, the more he failed. As Yan Feng became more and more adaptable to the team, Mohhard set Yan Feng more and more.

With the improvement of his status in the team, in the next game to be faced, Yan Feng became the starter as a matter of course.

Yan Feng's second game after arriving in Spain, and his first start, was against Lorca from the Autonomous Region of Murcia.

After following the team to Murcia, Yan Feng learned that the Lorca team turned out to be a team invested by Chinese. And the boss of the Lorka team is the famous Xu Genbao Xu.

At this time, Yan Feng suddenly discovered that many owners in the good Spanish team were Chinese or Chinese. For example, the Jumilia team, which is also in La B B, is also owned by Chinese. And there are also some teams in La Liga that are controlled by Chinese owners. For example, the owner of the Valencia team is Singaporean-Chinese.

Knowing that there are many Chinese involved in Spanish football, Yan Feng feels as if he is not so lonely and strange.

On the day of the game, in Lorca's home stadium, Yan Feng met Xu Genbao, who can be called the conscience of the industry in the Chinese football industry, before the game.

"Yan Feng. We finally met. After Old Man Xu saw Yan Feng, he stepped forward to greet him very warmly.

"Hello, Director Xu. It's a pleasure to meet you in a foreign country. "Yan Feng met Xu Genbao for the first time. I didn't expect Xu Genbao, who I had never seen before, to be so enthusiastic. It made him feel happy.

"I'm also very happy to see you in Spain. In the 16 years of Chinese football, you are the brightest star. I'm glad that China can produce a player like you. Xu Genbao laughed loudly.

"Director Xu, you've won the prize!" Yan Feng replied with some modesty.

"Nope. No. It's not a prize at all. I've seen you play, not only in the Super League, but also in the AFC Champions League. My so-called proud disciples. If only I could have half of you, I'd be happy. Xu Genbao waved his hand and said.

"Xu guided. You are exaggerating. I'm just lucky. Yan Feng hurriedly shook his hand and said. Xu Genbao is just a titan of Chinese football and a famous figure all over the world. Several of the main players in the national team were taught by him.

"Nope. No. Let's take Wu Lei, who I used to be the most proud of, for example. Don't look at what kind of ball king he is said to be. But if he comes to Spain. In my team, he couldn't get the main team. And you, in the last game against Castilla, directly froze the talented player Odegaard. The performance is really outstanding!" Xu Genbao continued to boast.

Yan Feng was praised by Xu Genbao, and he was a little embarrassed. I don't know how to answer.

"I heard that two days ago, your first team changed managers. I also heard about the Hermez before, and I don't seem to like our Chinese players very much. Well, now I believe you can play in La Liga. Xu Genbao continued.

"Well, hopefully. Saying this, Yan Feng was a little depressed. But now, in addition to being yourself, you can only wait patiently.

"Young man, don't be in a hurry. I know your boss Xiao Jiang. He brought you to Spain and he won't let you go to waste. Xu Genbao comforted. Seeing Yan Feng today, of course his old man could understand what the situation was.

"Hmm. I know. Yan Feng nodded.

"If you want to get ahead, you must first endure loneliness. I'm optimistic about you. Asian Footballer of the Year is not something that everyone can get. Xu Genbao smiled and encouraged.

"Hmm. Of course. Hehe. Yan Feng still has this confidence.

"Alright. The game is about to start. After the game, let's get together with everyone. I've got a lot of young men here waiting for you to sign it. Xu Genbao said at the end, turned and pointed to a place in the stands.

"Good. Yan Feng looked up and saw a row of young-looking Chinese faces sitting on it. Thinking of seeing so many compatriots, Yan Feng was also very happy.

The two continued to talk for a while, and then separated.

Because today is the 'Chinese Derby' (Chinese Capital Derby) in La B, there are still domestic media in Spain who have come to pay attention to this game today. There is no live video, but there are still live broadcasts of text and pictures.

Without Yan Feng's knowledge, before the conversation between him and Xu Genbao ended, there was already news about them on the Chinese sports network.

"I saw Yan Feng. He also had a very happy conversation with Xu Genbao. You could tell he was in a good mood. I didn't get depressed because I was put in reserve. ”

"I'm going, it's not that Yan Feng is transferred to La Liga, which is from Granada. Why did you run away to play in La B? No wonder there has been no news of him for a while now. ”

"Is it possible that he will be abandoned as soon as he goes to Europe? The double MVP of the Chinese Super League and Asia, can't even stay in La Liga?"

"Didn't you say that Granada replaced that annoying Hermes?

"Is this the sorrow of Chinese football? China's strongest player at present can only play in La B B? Is it really as Xu Genbao said, Chinese Super League players may not have a place in La B B?"

"Sure enough, the Chinese are still not used to playing football. Even if he won the AFC Champions League, he was just entertaining himself in the lower leagues. ”

"False prosperity in the Super League. The essence is just hype. Look, the best players in the Chinese Super League can only play in La B to know. ”

"So it's right that Super League players don't go abroad. If you stay in China, you can at least play a main force in the Chinese Super League, and when you go out, you can only stay in the reserve team. If you stay for a long time, you will be wasted. ”

"Sad! another sales midfielder. Or another water-delivery player. ”

As soon as the news that Yan Feng and Xu Genbao met and talked came out, the Internet immediately exploded. Fans who hadn't heard Yan Feng's news for a while expressed pessimism about his situation. Some people even began to mourn Yan Feng's misfortune and became angry.

And Yan Feng didn't know that the domestic side had already scolded him. After he finished heating up in earnest, he started the game against Lorca with his teammates.

After the game began, Yan Feng was stunned to find that there was not even a single Chinese player in the Lorca team.

Didn't you say that Xu Genbao was training in Spain this time? Didn't you hear that he had sent many young players to his team for training? Why don't you have a single Chinese player on the field now?

What Yan Feng doesn't know is that it doesn't mean that you buy a Chinese player, and then you can stuff as many Chinese players into the team as you want. Although Spain does not have a player access system like England. But it's not like you can get a random player to come and register in Spain. Among the young players sent by Xu Genbao, they can't participate in official competitions at all. Instead, you can only stay in Spain and practice on a student visa.

"The Chinese players I just saw seemed to be in the stands, not on the sidelines. Aren't they going to participate in the competition? It's strange, it seems that after the competition, they will have to ask Coach Xu what is going on. Yan Feng was a little disappointed that there were no Chinese players on the field, but at the same time he was curious about what was going on.

After putting this doubt aside, Yan Feng devoted himself wholeheartedly to the game.

In other words, the Granada reserves are not bad in the first place. plus Yan Feng, who has gradually adapted to and integrated into the team. All of a sudden, it feels like a strong team in West B B. At least the defense turned into a lot. And hard enough.

And the Lorka team, although Xu Genbao's strong investment and put forward the slogan of rushing A (La B A), but the background of small local players like the Lorka team is still a little worse. They are not too well staffed, and there is still a gap between them and the Granada reserves in terms of strength.

And the gap is reflected in the scene. From the start of the game, Lorca did not have much of a threat to the Granada reserves. The Lorca team, which is not good in attack, is completely at a disadvantage.

Especially under Yan Feng's efficient and tough sweep, it was difficult for Lorca to even attack the midfield. The entire Granada backline looks impregnable and has nowhere to put its mouth shut. In this unfavorable situation, the first half ended with Lorca falling behind by one goal.

"Granada's defense feels a notch higher than what you see in the video. In this game, we guess it's out of play. After watching the first half, Xu Genbao said so pessimistically.

And the second half was indeed as Xu Genbao predicted. Even though Lorca made personnel changes after the half-time break, they were helpless against Granada's reserves.

In the end, Lorca lost 3-0 at home to the visiting Granada team.

As head coach, Lopez is happy with the victory. Especially happy with a defense that has become tough enough and solid enough. As for Yan Feng's performance, he was quite satisfied. However, when it came to scoring, he only gave Yan Feng a score of 7.

This is an upper-medium rating. It's not bad, but it shows that Lopez is still not satisfied.

And what he was not satisfied with was actually Yan Feng's passing. It's not that Yan Feng made a lot of passing mistakes. In fact, Yan Feng's pass success rate is quite good. He is not afraid of pressing, and his success rate in short passes is still very high.

Is it not that he didn't make a threatening pass to the deadly ball? No, he was mainly defending the midfielder today, and Lopez didn't need him to pass the fatal ball.

Which is the dissatisfaction with the pass?

In fact, it is a long pass. If you pay attention to Yan Feng's football for a long time, you will find that he rarely makes long passes. Yan Feng is more of a short pass or a low flat ball, a long pass in the air, he doesn't play at all.

"Yan, your passing is still slow. You don't play long passes at all. As a midfielder, you still apply too little in this aspect. You're quite flawed in this area. I hope you can work on your long passes more in the future. In the locker room after the game, Lopez took the data sheet and said directly to Yan Feng.

"Long passes? this~ Indeed. I'll be more active in this area. After Yan Feng listened, he also realized this problem after thinking about it.

In fact, in his concept, kicking long passes and rushing is a backward style of play. For example, the Chinese team, once the long pass is played too much, it means that the team is behind, and there is nothing to do with the opponent's defense, so it has to use such a non-method.

I believe that in many people's minds, long balls are England's savage and backward style of play. However, as a midfielder, the ability to pass the ball long is also a very important indicator of ability.

Especially in the high-pressure style of play, after the back midfielder grabs the ball, the best and most direct and threatening treatment is to make a long pass. At this time, the long ball will directly break the opponent's entire defense, and the striker who can get the ball will face the least defensive force and can create the greatest threat.

In the past, when Yan Feng was in China, he always had teammates with excellent free kick ability around him. Plus R&F is a player who likes to play ground penetration. So this makes Yan Feng's long passing ability not too important. It did not expose the weakness of the lack of long passing.

And when he arrived in Granada, Lopez demanded faster ball handling and more direct long-distance transfers. This time, Yan Feng's lack of long passing ability was immediately exposed.

Lopez's words made Yan Feng Daigo empowered. Looking back on the situation in the game, Yan Feng also knew that it was time for him to strengthen his long passing ability. (To be continued.) )
