Chapter 5 Preparatory Period

After this warm-up match with Levante, Costa was silent for a few days. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but soon he was scrappy again. Although it has been reined in, there are still signs of wanting to challenge Yan Feng's position as captain.

Regarding Costa's situation, Yan Feng only looked at Sandel and the others and smiled when he saw it. In professional sports, competition and challenges are everywhere. Compared with the competition on the field, the competition between the people around you has time and is even more cruel. However, Yan Feng is confident that he will face any challenge. It doesn't matter if it's from an opponent or a teammate.

Granada's coaching staff began to know about the situation, but they didn't stop Costa from thinking about it. In Alcaraz's words: "Where is the vitality of the team without competition from teammates?"

It is true that there is competition to be dynamic. The new arrivals have all turned out to be quite competitive, which has made the veterans who have relaxed too much during the vacation have raised their energy. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I'll let others snatch my place.

In this competition, the team's competitive level has been constantly restored in preparation, and it has gradually begun to surpass last season.

A week later, Granada played another warm-up match. This warm-up opponent is much stronger, Chelsea from the Premier League.

Chelsea won the Premier League title in the 16/17 season. The strength is not comparable to a team like Levante who has just returned from La Liga.

As it was a warm-up game, the Chelsea side basically sent out a submersible supplement. Absolute mainstays like Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas are basically sitting on the bench and laughing and talking.

Although the Chelsea team did not send a main team, the quality of the underwriters was still very strong. In the face of such a Chelsea team, the Granada side did not dare to be careless. In the first half, the main force was basically fielded.

The Granada team, which is almost the main lineup, can still occupy some advantages against most of the submersible lineup in the first half.

The first half was a close game and the scene was much more intense than the previous game against Levante.

This time, Yan Feng also played more devotedly. Facing a championship team, although most of them are hidden supplements, he is still aroused to win.

The people who are more involved in this warm-up game are not only Yan Feng, but the entire Granada team is basically quite devoted. In this way, the level of performance of the Granada team is a notch higher than the previous game.

Costa was a little surprised to feel the difference in the team, but soon became more excited.

If you are invested enough, you will have higher performance and combat effectiveness. Over time, Granada gradually gained the upper hand on the pitch and began to threaten the Chelsea goal.

Seeing that the team had the advantage, Costa, who started this game, also began to move. The idea of scoring goals and showing himself began to take over his head. This made him start to become a bit of a lone wolf.

Football is played by eleven people. It's not something that can be solved by one person. As strong as Messi, he also relies on the help of his teammates to lead the team to continuous victory. Without the right system and the support of his teammates, no matter how good Messi is, he often loses in various national team competitions.

Costa is not Messi, and it is even more impossible for him to solve the battle on his own. If he had been Diego Costa sitting on the sidelines in the opposition team, he could have scored on his own. After all, the latter is currently the hottest super striker in the world.

It's a pity that Costa, he's David Costa, not Diego Costa. Although they are both Brazilians and have the same surname Costa, their strength is much worse. And the location is also different.

As a result, Costa began to squander Granada's attacking opportunities. Even often stealing the work of the strikers, so that the striker Kravitz began to complain that there were too few opportunities to hit the goal.

With Costa's profligacy, Granada repeatedly missed opportunities. In the end, Yan Feng really couldn't stand it anymore. Keeping Costa behind, he himself began to devote himself more to the attack.

Costa was unhappy that he was being asked to stay behind. But soon, this dissatisfaction turned into depression and jealousy.

After Yan Feng participated in the attack, the offensive of the Granada team began to be sharper and more concise. If he has the opportunity, Yan Feng will show his strong long-range shooting ability. No, he began to show the passing ability that he had strengthened during his vacation.

Compared to Costa's gorgeous flowers, any of Yan Feng's movements are simple and fast. Although it may not look pretty, this simplicity and directness are more effective.

Granada's threat to the Chelsea goal began to skyrocket, and Kravitz's chances on goal began to increase. Kravitz is satisfied, but unfortunately his condition is relatively average, and he has been a little worse several times.

Granada dominated but couldn't convert into goals. In the end, it was Yan Feng who pierced the goal with his trademark violent long-range shot. Yan Feng's goal not only gave Granada the lead, but also caused a burst of exclamations from the Chelsea team.

"This guy's long-range shot is so strong! it's even better than I thought. I didn't expect a Chinese player to be so strong. ”

The likes of Eden Hazard and Diego Costa are all sideways for Yan Feng's long-range shooting ability.

The opponent's exclamation made Costa, who was asked to participate in the defense more, very disappointed. Such an exclamation was exactly what he longed for, but unfortunately it was not for him.

When Granada took the lead, Chelsea reacted immediately. After manager Antonio Conte made a change, the entire Chelsea squad erupted into a strong counter-attack.

The Chelsea team are starting to get more aggressive. Not only did he fight back, but he also became fierce in the scramble. In particular, the young players in it have become almost red-eyed and play hard, and their movements have become a lot rougher.

The Chelsea team's strong counterattack, with the efforts of Yan Feng and others, successfully defended. With little time left in the first half, the first half ended with Chelsea leading by one goal.

By the time of the second half, both teams had made adjustments.

It's a warm-up game, and you don't have to win. So, Yan Feng was replaced by Alcaraz to rest. Yan Feng is now the team's anchor, and Alcaraz is not willing to let him suffer an injury in an inconsequential game.

Granada, for their part, made some substitutions of key players, while the backward Chelsea team began to make constant changes to their main players. As Premier League champions, they have their pride. If it is a loss to a team like Real Madrid and Barcelona, it is acceptable. Defeat to Granada, even if they are already fifth in La Liga.

After Yan Feng went down. The midfielder becomes Costa. Costa, who refused to admit defeat, felt that what Yan Feng could do, he could also do. But after the adjustment, the Chelsea team began to teach him how to behave. He failed to lead the way like Yan Feng in the first half, but was pressed by the Chelsea team so that he could only defend with all his might.

There is a gap in the strength of the two teams. After Chelsea fielded their main force and launched a powerful attack, Granada were defeated and ended up at a huge disadvantage.

By the time the game had just over 60 minutes, Chelsea had equalised. After the equaliser, Chelsea continued to attack again. Although the Granada team was also a remnant of the transfer, they were eventually overtaken by the Chelsea team.

In the end, the score became 1:3 at the end of the match, and Granada was beaten by Chelsea in a reversal.

After this game, Costa, who was entrusted with the heavy responsibility in the second half, looked helpless and unwilling in the face of defeat.

"It's not that I don't work hard, it's that the opponent is too strong. It's not that I didn't stand up, it's that my teammates didn't give up. ”

was reversed, and Costa finally felt that Yan Feng, who was replaced at half time, was too lucky. And he was really unlucky to bear the burden of failure.

It's just a warm-up game. Losing to a team like Chelsea is really nothing. Aside from the coaching staff trying to figure out how to fix the problems that came to light in this game, everyone quickly put it behind them.

After the game, Yan Feng returned home.

But it didn't take long for the doorbell to ring.

"Who?" Yan Feng opened the door, and then the people he saw were shocked.

"Xue'er, why are you here again?" Yan Feng was surprised and delighted in his heart.

"I miss you. Li Xue'er, who was standing at the door, said affectionately.

"Xue'er!" A simple sentence completely shattered Yan Feng's mental defense that he had built up with great difficulty.

To go to Tamad's single-mindedness, to go to Tamad must choose one of the two.

Yan Feng no longer paid attention to the previous decision to let go of Li Xue'er, and he hugged Li Xue'er tightly. Then kiss her affectionately.

After an affectionate long kiss, Yan Feng took Li Xue'er's hand with one hand and brought her luggage into the house with the other.
