Chapter 67: Counterattack
This is the difference in strength! Being scored, this is a long-standing awareness. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Although Yan Feng was a little frustrated, he did not lose his fighting spirit because of this. The rest of Granada did not lose their morale as a result. Conceding a goal in the first half is not too bad against a team like Real Madrid.
For Real Madrid, that's not good enough. This goal is like a clarion call for the Real Madrid players on the field. Especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who almost scored again but turned into a helper, he is more eager to score.
As the boss of the team, the soul of the team, he needs his performance to always be the best. Especially so far, Ronaldo's current ranking in the scorer list is only 3rd, but the first place happens to be his biggest opponent Messi. And the second place is still Barcelona's Suya.
You must know that Ronaldo's current goal count is not only 6 behind Messi. And he had as many as seven penalties in his goal. With such results, no matter how you look at it, it is a little bit worse than Messi's appearance.
"Score! I have to score! And the more the better!" Ronaldo looked at the Granada team as they prepared to kick off the game, and his heart was full of desire to score. In his opinion, the Granada team, which was finally breached, was a good time for him to brush up his scoring statistics.
How can such an opportunity be missed? So, hitting the goal, hitting the goal, and hitting the goal again became the most things Ronaldo did in the next game.
"Bang!" Ronaldo strikes the door.
"Bang!" Ronaldo scores from distance.
"Bang!" Ronaldo nodded the ball into the goal.
At every opportunity, Ronaldo will definitely hit the goal. His strong desire to attack put a lot of pressure on Granada's backline. He tried all kinds of ways to try to score, but today he seemed to go out and forgot to bring his shooting boots, and all kinds of shots just didn't score. Granada managed to survive the first half at the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo before falling behind more goals.
"Whew, I finally made it through the first half. Cristiano Ronaldo's desire to score is scary. Yan Feng, who slowly walked towards the locker room, exhaled deeply. I can finally rest for ten minutes.
"Haha, yes. But we didn't let him score, did we? We only conceded a goal and maybe we had a chance in the second half. Lomban said with a smile.
"Hmm. That's right. No matter how strong they are, they can't never make mistakes. If they make a mistake, we might be able to seize the opportunity. I don't dare to say that I will win the goal, and it is still possible to keep the draw. Yan Feng also got into his arms. Compared to the last time we conceded four goals in the first half, we only conceded one goal in the first half today, which is definitely much better.
Back in the dressing room, head coach Alcaraz didn't look discouraged or unhappy because his team was behind. Instead, he said to the group in a good mood: "Boys, you did a good job in the first half of the warm-up game. Although I still conceded a goal in the end, I am very satisfied with the result compared to the last meeting. β
"Before the game, our coaching staff had anticipated this possibility. Seriously, conceding only one goal is half less than I expected. β
"Compared to the previous game against Barcelona and the last time against Real Madrid, it shows that everyone has improved a lot. So I even see hope for today's game. β
"Hope?" the players all looked up at Alcaraz.
"That's right, it's hope. And there is the hope that it is possible to win. Alcaraz's face grew even more confident when he saw the pensive expressions on his players' faces.
'We've beaten so many teams before. Real Madrid today is stronger, but it doesn't look much stronger. In the second half, as long as we can withstand 30 minutes, then it's time for us to counterattack. β
Resist first, then counterattack. This is the unity of Alcaraz's thoughts on the players at half-time.
Resist. It's about defending, but it's not about sticking to it. Football is never something that can be defended by defending alone. According to Alcaraz's request, after the start of the second half, Granada's players will immediately turn to attack as soon as they get the ball while compressing the space at the back.
The Real Madrid team, which returned to the stadium in the second half, actually attacked more ferociously than in the first half. This put a lot of pressure on the Granada goal. Yan Feng had to go all out to participate in the defense, and had no spare strength to participate in the attack.
Yan Feng spared no effort to run, rushed everywhere to make amends, and his teammates also defended desperately, which made the Real Madrid team's many powerful attacks in vain.
In the first ten minutes of the second half, under Real Madrid's suppressive attack, the Granada team could not even play a decent counterattack. Being able to withstand not being scored is something that has cost a lot to hold on.
This price is three yellow cards in ten minutes, one of which was obtained by Yan Feng.
The price was heavy, but it finally withstood the most ferocious offensive. It wasn't until Zidane replaced Bale with Ronaldo that Granada took a breather.
Regarding Bell's fate, Yan Feng was not happy, but he also had some regrets. Today, apart from that first-half match, Bale didn't force an overtaking break. In addition to the changeable direction of Real Madrid's attack, there is also the fact that Bale was injured for three months before this year, and he did not dare to force it for the time being.
From Belle to Cristiano Ronaldo, the pressure on the left side of Granada has been relieved. It's not that Ronaldo's strength is not good, but his style is different from Bale, and he doesn't have to worry about being eaten as before.
Ronaldo's passing and organisation were better, and as a result, Real Madrid began to increase the attacking pressure on the middle.
With such an arrangement, I have to say that Zidane made a mistake this time. Before, he saw that Bale's wing attack had lost its original power under Yan Feng's assistance, so he ignored that Yan Feng was actually stronger in frontal defense, especially in the middle of the sweep.
Real Madrid's penetration through the middle of Granada's backfield made a mistake in tight spaces. Yan Feng teamed up with Uche to intercept Ronaldo's pass.
After Yan Feng got the ball, he only looked up at the front, and then kicked the ball forward.
What Yan Feng is looking for is Sandel who has always been at the forefront. It's a pity that Yan Feng's long pass accuracy can't be compared with Kroos, J Ronaldo and others in the opponent. The ball didn't get to Sundel accurately. As a result, Sandel had to fight Pepe, who was defending him, in a tough battle.
Sandel, who has too little experience in La Liga, can appeal for more defeats and fewer wins in the matchup with Pepe. I've suffered a lot of losses before. And Sandel, who rose to the challenge, actually snatched the ball from the confrontation with Pepe, who was a little careless.
Sundel, who had managed to get his hands on the ball, stumbled to protect it. Pepe desperately wanted to snatch the ball away, but this time Sandel was very clever with turning and back, so Pepe couldn't find his focus.
"Well done, Sandel. Seeing Sandel holding the ball in front, Yan Feng was very happy. was about to rush up to answer it, but saw Uche, who was also in the back, also rushing forward. Yan Feng hurriedly stopped his desire to step forward. He needs to protect from the back now, and the attacking business can only be expected from his team-mates. "Come on!"
This time, thanks to Sundel's strong defence against Pepe, he managed to combine a chance to hit the goal.
Although the goal was not scored, it was confiscated by the goalkeeper. But it also made Real Madrid's defenders realize that the Granada team is not without the ability to fight back. In the attack, he didn't dare to be so presumptuous.
In many cases, once everything is started, it will follow one after another. After this attack, Granada defended steadily, and then played a counterattack from time to time.
In this way, Granada really survived the second half for 30 minutes without conceding a goal. It was a tough time, but it started to give the players hope.
The Real Madrid team, which has been unable to attack for a long time and cannot expand the score, not only has the physical strength of the players decreased significantly, but also the mentality has changed slightly. They started to get impatient. Watching Real Madrid's impatience and gradually simplifying their style of play, those who don't know will think that it is Real Madrid that is behind, not Granada.
Are you in a hurry?
Yes, because they are Real Madrid. They are at the top of La Liga and they are one of the best teams in La Liga. And their sworn enemies, Barcelona, swept the Granada team in front of them before. And they have only scored one goal so far, which is very shameful.
Goals, more goals!Real Madrid replaced the less fit-for-fit Luka Modric with Ikos.
When Ikos, who is as graceful as a dancer, came up, he certainly wanted to show more. He was in a hurry to perform, and he dribbled a little too much. It's a pity that he met Yan Feng, who was like a barbarian. His elegance will only turn into all kinds of stumbles under Yan Feng's confrontation.
The team is eager to score more goals, and the boss Cristiano Ronaldo who wants to score more goals is of course dissatisfied with this. At Ronaldo's request, the main direction of attack began to change to the right flank of Granada.
In order to make up for Facowill's speed disadvantage, without the threat of Bell, Yan Feng switched with Uche.
Ronaldo's defensive zone has been strengthened, but he is not aware of it. Just know, he won't care. As one of the best offensive players in the world, he doesn't care who defends him.
After Ronaldo passed the ball to Casemiro in the middle near midfield, he shook off Pereira and rushed forward. Although Casemiro is a more well-rounded midfielder, he is mainly stronger defensively.
Casemiro tried to attack in the middle, but against Yan Feng, who was not inferior to him at all, he was no more advantageous than other flexible players.
"Hey, Casemiro!" Seeing that his teammate's attack was blocked, Ronaldo stepped up.
Casemiro, who was trying to protect the ball with his back against Yan Feng, didn't have to think much about it to distribute the ball to the boss on the side.
Seeing Casemiro give the ball to Ronaldo's feet, Yan Feng looked to the left and saw that Uche was approaching this side, so he hurriedly closed his momentum and moved to the side.
Seeing that Ronaldo had the intention of attacking his own defense with the ball, Ficowell couldn't help but feel nervous. He swept to the side a little nervously, and when he saw Yan Feng moving towards him, a feeling of relief rose in his heart.
"Cristiano Ronaldo, attack Federwill again. Poor Ficowill, which Tabanu in the first half was just as unlucky. β
In the words of the host who commented the game, Ronaldo approached Ficowell, who was waiting in a tight formation. On a bicycle, Ronaldo has always pedaled very slippery. Although he has used it a lot less in recent years, he can still use it at any time when he needs it.
I saw Ronaldo's two thighs slung like a flywheel, and then the right-footed plucked ball from Facowill's left hand side and flew quickly.
"Beautiful! Cristiano Ronaldo passed his opponent with ease. β
was successfully broken by Ronaldo again, and Fikovwill was not too frustrated except for a little upset. He was mentally prepared to be passed like this. In fact, he made up his mind from the beginning that he must look at the place close to the sideline and not let Ronaldo go to the bottom. And now that Ronaldo is heading down the middle from the other side, he doesn't need to worry too much because his team-mates are waiting there.
After Ronaldo passed Casemiro, he walked to the middle and happened to meet Yan Feng who was waiting there.
"No. 44, Yan?" Ronaldo's mind flashed through the scene of Bale's failure to overtake in the first half. He did not dare to despise this opponent. He was hesitating to pass the ball, but when he looked up, Benzema was surrounded by two defenders. So, he instantly decided to continue to lead forward.
I'm Cristiano Ronaldo, no one can stop me alone!
Cristiano Ronaldo flicked the ball with his right foot again and wanted to cut inside and go to the middle. As long as the inside cut is successful, and the chance of scoring is very high.
But Yan Feng will not give Ronaldo such a chance. Yan Feng had long been guarding against his in-cut. Now Ronaldo's choice is right in his hands.
Yan Feng poked out his right foot with great speed after Ronaldo made an outside dial. Almost in an instant, before Ronaldo could react, the ball was stabbed away, and the person had already hit Yan Feng's shoulder.
collided with Yan Feng, Ronaldo's chest was enough to choke. Ronaldo's first reaction was to raise his hand and scream, but he soon realized that his opponent had stabbed the ball first. By the time Ronaldo wanted to turn around and get stuck in the position, it was too late.
Yan Feng took the lead in squeezing past Ronaldo and got the ball. When he got the ball, Yan Feng felt that the whole person was excited. It feels really cool to steal from the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the best players in the world!
It's time to fight back!
Yan Feng began to rush forward, but immediately encountered a strong enemy, Casemiro, who came up to intercept him. Yan Feng didn't come hard, but nudged with his right foot and gave the ball to Uche. Then he walked forward with all his strength and crossed Casemiro.
Casemiro hurriedly turned around and wanted to stick to Yan Feng, but Yan Feng's speed was too fast, making him desperately chase but still being thrown out of the way.
Not long after Yan Feng crossed Casemiro, he got the ball that Uche bumped into. A successful two-by-one hit the wall.
Yan Feng strode forward with two feet, but the Caromero who was chasing closely behind him brought him a lot of pressure. Therefore, when approaching the opponent's new defender, he passed the ball to Sundel, who was diagonally forward and with his back to respond.
Without the drag of the ball, Yan Feng's speed became faster. This not only widened the distance between Casemiro who was chasing behind, but also crossed Nacho Fernandez, who came up to intercept him.
On the other side, when Xander was running forward at Yan Feng's acceleration, he was struggling to carry Pepe behind him with his back. But under Pepe's top defense, Sandel couldn't even stand on his feet. In this case, Sandel still tried to pass the ball in front of Yan Feng. After passing the ball, a stumbling Sandel fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Sandel fell to the ground with joy, because he saw that the ball he passed was just behind the opposing defender, but Yan Feng also appeared in front of the ball in time.
Single Knife!
Yan Feng, who was running rapidly, was excited and nervous. This goal must be scored!
But when it touched the ball, it made it bigger. Yan Feng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly chased after him.
Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas was quick to attack. This made Yan Feng catch up with the ball again, but he lost the angle of shooting. In front of Yan Feng, all of them were Navas spreading his hands like a net.
Yan Feng didn't want to think about it, he could only choose to pass the goalkeeper first. Yan Feng hurriedly buckled, although he dodged Navas's attack, but he also buckled a little hard.
Yan Feng hurriedly chased the ball, but at this time, Pepe also chased after the ball. Yan Feng threw his whole body out and stabbed him with his foot at the ball. And at about the same time, Pepe was also a sliding tackle to the ball.
"Ahh Then the two of them collided hard.
βGOAL!!!!!!!!β
"Yan !! Yan !! Yan scored a goal!!!"
