Chapter 29: The Need for Change

A few days later, Granada played Valencia away. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Mestalla Stadium.

"Valencia will win!"

"Kill these Granadas. ”

"Granada is nothing, we are the masters of the Mestalla and we will win. ”

"Just look at that yellow-skinned monkey and they'll be nothing. ”

The stadium, which seats more than 50,000 people, was crowded and the fans were chanting slogans excitedly. In the stadium, you should never expect civilization, there are serious slogans, and naturally there are cordial greetings to the away players.

Looking at the excitement of the home fans, those who don't know will think that the team they support is pressing the opponent on the attack. But the reality is not, after the opening, the two teams actually played relatively closely.

Fighting at home, there is no need to talk about various advantages. As for the away team, those who often watch the game must know it.

The biggest advantage of the Valencia team playing at home is actually that he has plenty of physical energy. Last season, Valencia finished twelfth in La Liga and didn't need to travel abroad to play in the Europa League like Granada. In professional sports, don't look at just one less game, but a lot of the time is only one game away, and the impact on both sides is very different.

Due to the rest of several main players in the last game, this time, the Granada team has recovered to a certain extent physically. Compared to the previous round, today's Granada team should be said to be better in physical fitness and competitive condition.

Even so, the physical problems caused by the intensive schedule were not solved so easily. In this game, Alcaraz still had to rest several key players.

The main players have to take turns to rest, but there is no Yan Feng in the list. Whoever called him too good in physical fitness, he was famous in the team and couldn't die. His teammates can take a break between them, but he can only continue to start and play.

Yan Feng, who was in his heyday of physical fitness, could run a distance of more than 15,000 meters. Now there are only 70% left, and there are 10,000 meters, which is still enough in Alcaraz's opinion.

And due to the change in the team's tactics and strategies, Yan Feng will step forward less often, and he doesn't have to run up and down desperately, which still alleviates his physical condition.

Today, Yan Feng's main task is to defend. Defensively, that's his job. I don't know why, he seems to have been used to running back and forth in the two penalty areas, and he feels that it is boring to stay in a defensive position all the time.

That's right, it's just boring.

How can a professional game be boring? Even a defender, no, no one on the field except the goalkeeper dares to say that it is boring.

However, Yan Feng just really felt bored. The reason is that Valencia, the opponent of this game.

"Ni Mei, you're the home team! This is your home field, can you be more active? Isn't it too much to play defensive counterattacks on your home field?"

"Please show some home momentum! Don't shrink to the sidelines, okay? Come on, we're not Real Madrid, we're not Barcelona. ”

For himself who only often wandered around the middle circle, Yan Feng couldn't help but complain about the Valencia team in his heart.

It's not that the Valencia team has no chance to counterattack, but every time they counterattack, they take the side, which makes Yan Feng can only retreat in order to protect the middle. If you defend it, move forward.

Valencia used a counter-attacking tactic, which made the counter-attack, which Alcaraz had also set before the game, impossible to implement.

Although the Granada team can also stick to the tactics of defending and counter-attacking with the home team, at best, the game has become strange and ugly. But now the Granada team has the feeling of a strong team, and the opponent retreats, of course, they will not let go of the opportunity to take the initiative to attack.

Unfortunately, the Granada team could not create any chances in the face of Valencia's dense space and layered defensive lines.

To be honest, the change in Granada's initiative was unexpected by Valencia, and it did make them a little uncomfortable at the beginning of the season.

Unfortunately, the Granada team's offensive was not sharp and fast enough, often allowing the Valencia team to use enough troops to compress the space to play. With the gorgeous and numerous ground penetration, there needs to be enough space, and when you meet the Valencia team with a compact formation, you can't use it. As a result, it will be very difficult to create opportunities.

On the contrary, it was Valencia's counterattack that played well. They make full use of both sides, bypassing the middle with Yan Feng sitting in the middle, often passing from the bottom to the middle, and then the center outflanks and grabs the point. Every now and then pose a threat to the Granada goal.

Although this style of play with two wings does not seem complicated, the Valencia team, which has Portugal international Nani, has implemented it very effectively.

One might think that Nani is very strong and has good speed. However, no matter how strong his impact on the wing is, it is impossible to compare with Bale. Even Bale's side was made difficult to play by Hui Yan Feng's co-defense, let alone Nani?

In the face of Real Madrid, the Granada team played a defensive counterattack. When defending, the Granada team will have enough troops, Yan Feng will go to the side to assist in the defense, and there will be his midfield partner in the middle.

But today it was against Valencia, and Granada was the main attacker. Moreover, after Costa stepped forward to participate in the attack, he did not have the speed and physical strength of Yan Feng to quickly rush back to defend. In this case, Yan Feng didn't dare to leave his defense zone in the middle lane at all. can only watch Nani wreak havoc on the flank, and then cross again and again to outflank the middle and grab points.

Based on these circumstances, regardless of the field, it seems that the Granada team is more offensive, but in fact, the Valencia team creates a greater threat. That's why the home fans are so confident and excited.

In order to change this situation, when there was a counterattack, Yan Feng moved forward decisively. He's going to be involved in the offense.

Alcaraz, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help frowning after seeing Yan Feng's position move forward a lot more than before. But he didn't say anything more.

Costa saw Yan Feng step forward to participate in the attack, and under the habit of the previous rounds of games, he had to stay to make up for the gap. Yan Feng was like this, Costa was a little unhappy in his heart, but when he turned his head and saw that the head coach on the sidelines didn't say anything, he could only admit it.

Yan Feng's tacit understanding with offensive players such as Samper and Pereira is still there, and after he rushes up, the others respond and cooperate as before.

From the attack launched, the rapid advance to the offensive third zone. Then the implementation of the inverted triangle tactic began.

I used to be able to do it often
