Chapter Ninety-Six: Fighting to the End
Yan Feng brought a set-piece opportunity for the Granada team. This is their chance. Nowadays, in order to increase their attacking ability, set-piece tactics are often practiced by them.
On the side of Atletico Madrid, especially Niguez, after arguing with the referee for a long time, they reluctantly accepted this fact. However, there was no shortage of resentment towards Yan Feng in his heart. When he turned around and stood in the forbidden area, he glared at Yan Feng viciously.
For Negus like this, Yan Feng didn't care. And I feel very cool in the bottom of my heart. Nimad let you pit me, now let's taste this too.
The opportunity to shoot the penalty was given to Lin Fan, who had a more outstanding ability to play the ball, and Yan Feng himself squeezed into the penalty area, ready to compete for the top.
After entering the forbidden area, the road was narrow, and Negus happened to be next to Yan Feng. This time, it was Yan Feng who turned his head and smiled at the Negus with an unkind face.
"Hey, guy, you got a yellow card too, how does that feel? Isn't it cool?"
After hearing this, Negus's face became darker and colder, and his gaze staring at Yan Feng was about to kill.
"Huh. Don't do that. You can't blame anyone else for that. There is a saying in China that we use our teeth to fight back against other people's teeth. I don't understand, which means that you have to do unto others as they would do to you. Let others have a taste of what they did in the first place. Yan Feng taught with a smile on his face.
"ENOUGH OF YOU? Negus replied angrily.
"Huh. Yan Feng smiled lightly and turned his head to look at Lin Fan, who was about to make a free throw.
Yan Feng saw that Lin Fan was almost ready, and he was about to make a free throw. First he squeezed past Niguez, then turned his head sharply and rushed towards the goal from the other side.
Just when Yan Feng turned around and rushed towards the goal, Lin Fan also saw Yan Feng, and then trotted a few steps to prepare for this direction and kicked the inside of his foot on the ball.
Lin Fan, who is good at taking free kicks, is naturally very good. It's easier to take a set-piece and go straight to goal. And Lin Fan also kicked the ball to the top of Yan Feng's head very accurately this time.
Yan Feng stared at the direction of the ball while running, and after judging the landing point, his whole body suddenly took off. Yan Feng threw his whole person out. His strong explosiveness allows him to jump higher and farther than those who take off at the same time. He got ahead of everyone and hit the ball with a fish leap.
After the ball hit the top of Yan Feng's head, it was unexpectedly refracted into the goal.
The ball went into the goal! Yan Fengren saw this extremely happy scene before he completely landed.
"Wow!" Yan Feng had just fallen to the ground and suddenly bounced up again. He roared with excitement.
"I entered. We equalised. Ha ha. Yan Feng shouted excitedly, ready to celebrate passionately.
But soon, his face fell. Because he saw the referee making a move that made him puzzled and angry.
"The effect of the goal? What the hell?" Yan Feng didn't dare to look at the referee with a lethal expression, and after rushing over, he asked angrily.
"Offside?" Yan Feng thought he had misheard. "Where am I offside? Referee, are you watching with your eyes?"
"SHIT! Why is the goal invalid?" "This ball can also be blown off?" Naturally, the other Granada players also gathered around, bewildering and demanding an explanation from the referee.
No matter what everyone said, in the end, the referee insisted that the goal was invalid and ruled that Yan Feng was offside.
Made, such a good ball can be blown off. Yan Feng's happiness when he saw the ball fly into the goal was long gone, and he was replaced with anger and unwillingness.
"Referee, I wasn't offside at all. I was still with that Negus when the ball was kicked out. How can this be offside?"
The referee shook his head. "Trust your own judgment!"
"Oh!" Yan Feng was really speechless. He really wanted to just open his mouth and scold the referee for being blind or opening his eyes to say nonsense. But think about yourself and have a yellow card on your back. He had no choice but to shut up.
But when he thought that the yellow card on his body was also cheated, Yan Feng was even more depressed.
"Forget it. Don't overthink it. The game is like that, there are always misjudgments of one kind or another. There is always such an irritating home whistle. In the end, Yan Feng could only comfort himself like this. That's the way it is, and he can't accept it. Unless he wants to be kicked out with a red card.
A good ball was blown off, and everyone in the Granada team was naturally disappointed and unwilling, but they could only be forced to accept it.
And Atletico Madrid, which was smashed into the goal, was naturally greatly relieved. They really can't say whether this ball is really offside first, but as long as it is beneficial to them, they naturally have to accept it happily.
In addition to this, what makes them even happier is this idea. The referee is on our side.
With this in mind, it seems that the people of Atletico Madrid have a great psychological advantage.
"It seems that we have won this game. Now, let's continue to teach these Granadians a lesson. β
Atletico Madrid's morale is good, and they have decided to continue their efforts and try to extend their lead early.
Then, the Atletico Madrid team that kicked off launched a strong offensive against the Granada team. And this time, the attack was resolute.
The lame Granada team is naturally reluctant to let Atletico Madrid succeed. They tried their best to intercept Atletico Madrid. This made it difficult for Atletico Madrid to advance. The ball can only be a back and forth guide near the midfield.
Granada defended well this time, keeping the ball tight near midfield, leaving Griezmann and Torres waiting for their chances near the back line.
And such an opportunity is not easy to wait for. Under the defense of Yan Feng and others, the midfielders of Atletico Madrid chose to fight behind the defenders of the Granada team in desperation.
Lumban, who had been guarding against this move for a long time, suddenly ran forward and created an offside trap for Griezmann, who was about to receive the ball.
The offside trap created by Lumban and others was relatively successful, at least they themselves thought so. But after they raised their hands and shouted offside for a while, they didn't hear the referee blow the whistle.
βSHIT!ββ "The referee didn't seem to think Griezmann was offside. This made Yan Feng and the others couldn't help but burst into foul language, and then began to chase back.
Griezmann didn't seem to expect his anti-offside success this time, and was stunned for a moment before rushing forward with joy. This is a big opportunity. It's a single knife!
"This ball is here!"
The home fans who saw this scene were naturally overjoyed and ready to celebrate the goal.
Griezmann is a hot super scorer in recent years, and is even one of the favorites for the Ballon d'Or after Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. gave him a chance to go single, and it was nine out of ten.
Griezmann himself is very confident. He also thinks his goal is a sure thing. He pushed quickly into the box, but this time Granada's goalkeeper Ochoa was also quick to strike.
Ochoa struck quickly and quickly to the perimeter of the penalty, which prevented Griezmann from striking the first shot.
However, this is not a problem for Griezmann. He adjusted the slam dunk in the run, and he directly passed Ochoa who came out of the pounce. Next, he just needs to catch up with the ball and hit an empty goal.
Since Griezmann is a high-speed smash, it will take time to catch up with the fast-rolling ball. Griezmann strode the meteor, took a few strides before catching up with the ball and then lifted his foot to hit an empty goal.
But at this moment, a foot suddenly slipped out of his side and back, and slammed into the ball before him. Griezmann's short shot was ruined by someone else.
"Oh! no!!"
The home fans, who had been cheering for themselves, exclaimed unwillingly.
Griezmann kicked himself in the air and brought himself down.
Who? Who ruined his chances of getting in? Griezmann was shocked and furious, desperate to know which bastard had done the good thing.
"It's you, why are you Chinese?" Soon, Griezmann saw that the person who destroyed his must-score goal was Yan Feng.
"I'm sorry. No one wants to put the ball in our goal easily. Yan Feng got up and said.
"You~ I remember you. Ahh
"Well done, strict. "You're amazing. "You've saved the team again. Ochoa excitedly came over and hugged Yan Feng, and other teammates also came over to give Yan Feng a thumbs up.
"It's dangerous. This time. I didn't expect to catch up myself. Fortunately, Ochoa made a timely attack and delayed him. Yan Feng exhaled and said.
"It's really dangerous. Ochoa nodded.
"Well, the danger isn't over yet. Get ready to start defending corners. Yan Feng beckoned everyone to prepare to defend the opponent's corner kick opportunities.
Yan Feng and his teammates all took positions and stared at their guards. Soon, the corner kick was driven out, and Ingarsen grabbed the first point and headed the ball out of the box.
Yan Feng and the others quickly rushed out of the penalty area and expanded the defensive line. With the efforts of Yan Feng and others, although the ball pushed out of the penalty area by Ingason was picked up by the people of Atletico Madrid, they were soon pushed back and gradually retreated to the midfield.
A threat that was missed by the referee for offside has been resolved.
may be hit by the blow of this must score but did not score, and the next offensive of Atletico Madrid has slowed down a lot.
Inspired by this, the morale of the Granada team is also good. So, then, they all played well. Until the end of the first half, Atletico Madrid did not give such a good chance. On the contrary, it also created a lot of danger in front of the Atletico Madrid team.
The first half was over. Granada trailed by 1 goal.
Although they were still one goal behind, there was not much frustration on the faces of the Granada players at half-time.
After all, they didn't have no chances in the first half. It's just that the goal scored was blown off by the referee. This makes them still have good confidence in this game.
"In the first half, everybody did a good job. β
"Falling behind by a goal, there's luck and refereeing in it. It's not everyone's factor. β
'We played well in the first half and I'm sure in the second half we will score. β
Back in the office, Pirlo applauded everyone.
As Andrea Pirlo said, the Granada starters were really good. Falling behind, the problem is not with them. And with their performance in the second half, there is still a good chance to win back.
Everyone in the Granada team has that confidence. Because of this confidence, Pirlo did not change his strategy at half-time. He just gave the players a little bit of guidance on some of the details and let everyone rest.
After a fifteen-minute break, everyone left the locker room and returned to the pitch.
As both sides were happy with their performances in the first half, neither side made any adjustments at the start of the second half. It's still the lineup and tactics of the first half.
At the start of the second half, the scene was still as intense as the first. The two sides fought very fiercely back and forth.
In evenly matched games, it is often difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser. The second half was played for a full ten minutes, and it was still difficult to separate. Although both sides had a number of chances on goal, neither side got on the scoresheet.
"One more, one more. ~~~" The home fans weren't content to be just one goal ahead. Looking at the inextricable state on the field, they felt that it was not safe to score only one goal.
Naturally, the Atletico Madrid players, cheered on by the fans, also wanted to score goals to ensure the win. But the tenacious Granada team did not give them such a chance. Even if the referee is biased, they still can't go any further.
The fierce battle between the two sides on the field continued. Although Atletico Madrid took advantage of the home whistle to get more chances. But luck like that in the first half wasn't always there.
The game on the pitch went on and the clock was ticking. And as time passed, the physical fitness of the players on both sides gradually declined.
