"We weren't active in the first half, guys, give all your passion and fighting spirit. We need to get our firepower back. ~~~”

In the visitors' dressing room, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said excitedly that he was clearly not happy with the performance of his disciples in the first half.

"We were so silent. Although the opponent's defense is really good, I believe that you are invincible. With your stormy attack, they are absolutely powerless to resist. ”

"In the second half, we had to change the direction of attack, from here, from here''''

On the other side, in the dressing room of the home team Granada. Pirlo smiled, and his eyes, which were always half-asleep, were full of light, which gave him a sense of confidence.

"Benkovic, you played well in the first half. It looks like you've stood up to the test of the Champions League. I'm sure you'll definitely be better in the second half. Are you confident?" Pirlo was the first to call Benkovic's name.

Benkovich was still a little apprehensive in his heart, but when he heard Pirlo's words, his face instantly lit up. "Uh-huh, uh-huh, I~ I have confidence. ”

"Modric, it looks like you've been targeted again. ”

"Hmm. Modric nodded. In the first half, he didn't play well, which made him unhappy.

"You've got to get used to it sooner. This is not the treatment of ordinary people. I used to hate this the most when I played football. But I believe that these are not enough to tie your feet. Pirlo said with a smile.

"I see. Modric looked up at Pirlo and nodded heavily.

Over the years, especially in Real Madrid's time, although he has been a very important part of the midfield organization. But he's not the main core. The main attention of the opponent is not on him. But now in Granada it is different, he is the absolute heart of the team's attack, which naturally makes him a key target for opponents.

These were the things he had to overcome. Otherwise, he won't be able to lead the team to the level he has been striving for.

Pirlo is a similar type of player to him, so he can learn a lot from Pirlo.

Seeing that Modric was no longer depressed, Pirlo's smile looked more confident.

Pirlo's gaze shifted to Yan Feng, and after staring at Yan Feng for a while, he nodded, and Yan Feng also nodded with a firm look.

Pirlo looked away from the others.

"Lin, keep your running going, that's what the team needs. ”

'Anthony Martial, you're going to have to cross more'''''

"Mahrez, increase the cooperation with the middle'''"

After "''''''" named a number of others, Pirlo briefly commented on it and then turned to the tactical set-up for the second half. "Now, let's talk about the second half. We need some changes'''"

~~~~~~

At half-time, both sides returned to the pitch.

Back on the pitch, there were a substitution for the Chelsea side. Pedro was substituted and Willian was brought in. Conte, it seems, was not very happy with his team's attacking performance in the first half.

On the Granada side, although Andrea Pirlo said at half-time that he would make changes, there were no changes in personnel. Judging from the position where everyone is standing, it seems that there is no difference from the first half.

Soon the game began.

The Chelsea team, who made the substitutions, stepped up their attack. The new William seems to be very active and impactful. This put Lin Fan under even more pressure.

And William and Hazard seem to be very calling, and the cooperation between the two is very tacit and effective. After the cooperation of these two individuals is played, it is extremely threatening. Yan Feng and Lin Fan had to increase their defensive strength together.

At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea's adjustments looked to be working. The attacking momentum was significantly strengthened, which gave Chelsea a lot of confidence and made their momentum start to rise.

"That's right. That's it, hold on. Keep putting pressure on them. They quickly became overwhelmed. Seeing that his adjustments were working, Conte shouted a little excitedly on the sidelines.

'As long as the floodgates are opened, no one can stop us from winning. 'Winning is something Conte hasn't doubted since pre-game. Now there is no doubt about it.

"Pirlo's command is not bad, but unfortunately he is too young. If you want to compete with me, you'll have to accumulate more command experience. ”

Compared to Conte's confidence, Pirlo seems a little calm. Sitting on the bench, he looked half-asleep and couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"Sure enough, it's pretty much the same as the coach said. Brothers, don't be in a hurry. Resist first. When the time comes, it is we who will bulldoze them. Seeing that the opponent was high-spirited and the threat in the attack was rising, Yan Feng began to fulfill his duties as the captain.

"Lin Fan, you are optimistic about him. Magic Flute, you take a step back. Interfere with their organization'''"

Under the leadership of Yan Feng, the defense of the Granada team is very calm and steady. Not much of a flaw was revealed at Chelsea.

Benovich, who was still the main weakness of the Chelsea team in the first half, has become more and more comfortable on the field after the praise of midfielder Andrea Pirlo, coupled with the training in the first half. This gave Benkovic a big improvement from the first half.

When self-confidence came, Benkovich's excellent physical fitness began to be fully displayed. At the beginning of the second half, Yan Feng was still worried that Benkovic would not be able to hold on. And after Benkovic did a few times when defending Morata, Yan Feng also began to have enough confidence in Benkovic.

Seeing that Benkovic's performance was getting better and better, and he was becoming more and more confident, Yan Feng's defensive burden was much lighter.

Granada's defense is still so solid that the opponent is always difficult to break through. With Yan Feng on the field, it seems that there is no need to worry about anything.

"Our team is really solid defensively. It was clear to the eye that Chelsea had stepped up their attack. See, even so, they still can't do anything about our defense. It's reassuring!"

Originally, fans were worried about Chelsea's increased attack. After all, the 6-0 massacre of Qarabagh by Chelsea in the last game was still amazing. Anyone can't help but worry about their team ending up in the same way.

And now, the fans find themselves feeling at ease. This makes them feel happy, but also a little proud.

'Chelsea are so strong in attack and we can defend it well. Defensively, it looks like we're very strong. ”

"Defensively done. But if you want to go further in the Champions League, it's not enough. The offense needs to improve. ”

There was no need to worry at the back, and fans were starting to care about Granada's attack. After all, everyone prefers to win, especially at their home stadium.

In basketball, there is a famous saying that you have to defend to win a championship. But in football, it's the offense that wins. A team that doesn't attack will never want to win the title.

"Modric. Hurry up and let us see your assists. Come on!"

When it comes to offense, especially when it matters most. Last season, fans would definitely set their eyes on Yan Feng. But now, everyone will invariably focus on Modric.

Luka Modric is now the attacking engine of the Granada team, the heart of the playmaker, the team's assist king, and the key to winning.

So far this season, almost every goal has been linked to Modric. It wasn't him who assisted, he initiated it.

Even fans know that Modric is the key to Granada's attack, so Chelsea know it as well as Spiegel.

Therefore, in the second half, Luka Modric remained the focus of the Chelsea team. And it's the kind of service that has the ball and doesn't have the ball.

Aren't you the engine? That makes it difficult for you to even catch the ball, but you start it for me?

That's how Conte set up for Modric in this game.

Being cared for by anyone can be extremely uncomfortable. And Modric is even more so. When it comes to physical talent, Modric is not outstanding, and there are even many weaknesses. What he relies on on to survive on the field is his excellent technique and a very high ball quotient. His physical emaciation makes it difficult for him to face the close attention of strong confrontation.

If Yan Feng encounters these, it will be much easier. Yan Feng has extremely strong confrontation, super fast speed, extremely strong running ability and extremely excellent physical fitness. He can wear his opponent to death.

It's a pity that Modric is not Yan Feng. This is destined to be more difficult for him when facing teams in the Premier League, and his performance will be greatly limited.

Modric was naturally not willing to be restricted. He's trying to get out of his opponent's grip. Borrowing his agility, borrowing more aggressive running, it is difficult for those who are watching him to get close. This allows him to have more chances to catch the ball. Only when he receives the ball can he use his talent.

Modric's hard work paid off. He started receiving passes from his team-mates and he started to have more opportunities to play his part.

Luka Modric used his runs and movement to get possession of the ball and use it to have a positive impact on the attack of the Gleda team. Conte immediately waved his hand, compressed the midfield and backfield, and added one more person to close to the encirclement in addition to the single close marking.

Modric got into trouble again, but thanks to his efforts, he was quickly able to get out of it. It's just impossible to play at full strength.

Seeing this, Conte did not continue to increase the number of personnel. After all, there are so many people on the field, if you add one. If you lock up Modric, then the others will let go of their hands and feet. This is a no-no. However, it is enough for him to stifle Modric's play at a certain cost. Without Modric's organisation, the Grenda team would have been left alone in a squandered effort.

In fact, Modric is not the only one who can organize in the Granada team, before Modric came, Lin Fan was the core of the team's organization.

It's just that in this game, the Chelsea team's strong attacking ability forced Lin Fan to put more energy into defense, so that there was not much spare energy to organize the attack. Moreover, Lin Fan's organizational heat is obviously not as good as Modric.

After seeing that Modric was limited again, Lin Fan had the heart to take over the responsibility of the organization. However, he was soon under intense scrutiny. It seems that Conte has studied Chelsea's attack thoroughly and is well prepared for it.

As a result, after a battle of wits and courage, the two sides once again fell into the dilemma that the attack could not break the defense and could only fight with the midfield.

Chelsea's attack has reached its strongest, with the best attacking players on top. They can't swap three strikers for four, can they?

With such an attack, Conte has no better way than to constantly and passionately command the team to attack hard. One can only hope to win the midfield and use more attacking chances to score goals. After all, there is no such thing as a defense that never makes mistakes.

The battle on the field became more and more intense, but the balance of power in the midfield was formed. Seeing this, Pirlo first looked down at his watch, and then stood up. Coming to the sidelines, Pirlo held out three fingers to the players on the field. "Now on, execute Tactic No. 3!"

It was during a dead ball that Yan Feng noticed Pirlo's gesture. His eyes lit up, then he turned his head and shouted. "Tactic No. 3, brothers, can start executing Tactic No. 3. ”

"Okay, Tactic 3. Changed formations, changed formations. The others responded.

"It's a matter of success or failure, and hopefully the No. 3 tactic will succeed. Yan Feng said secretly in his heart. At the same time, I was also excited.

With Andrea Pirlo under the battle, many of the players on the field of Granada have changed their positions.

Modric began to step back and came to Yan Feng's right, and Yan Feng also came to the middle position. Sundell at the front pulled back and Anthony Martial and Riyad Mahrez moved up slightly. The 4231 array changed back to the 433 array.

"The Granada team seems to be changing formations. Becoming a 433 formation, this is a signal to attack with all their might?"

That's right, Granada is signaling an all-out attack. This is their home stadium and they are going to compete with Real Madrid and Barcelona for the La Liga title. A home draw was never an option for them.

After nearly 70 minutes of attrition and drag on the Chelsea team, that's when the opponents' momentum starts to drop and that's when they start to pull out.

The Granada team's change of formation, the Chelsea team was really a little uncomfortable for a while. In particular, N'Golo Kante, who was originally responsible for keeping an eye on Modric, was in a difficult situation. Modric ran to the side, should he go with him?

Kante hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help but look inquiringly at Conte on the sidelines. Conte motioned for him not to follow.

In fact, this change of formation of the Granada team also put Conte in a dilemma. Because this is not the usual formation of the Granada team, after Modric retreated and pulled to the wing, the starting point of the Granada team was no longer just him. Instead, it became the two initiation points of Modric and Lin Fan. As a result, Chelsea were unable to tell for a moment which side was the focus of the attack, or maybe both.

The Granada team's change of formation really worked. The attack from either Lin Fan or Luka Modric prevented Chelsea from focusing on defending in advance. As a result, Granada's attacking efficiency began to increase, and the threat it posed naturally increased.

After playing for a while, feeling that the Granada team was on the rise, Conte made a decisive substitution. N'Golo Kante was replaced by the more defensive, Tiemoue Bakayoko.
