Christmas is the most important holiday of the year for Westerners. And La Liga, because of the lack of talks with the labor union, does not have a Christmas game like the Premier League.

Christmas is just a dispensable holiday for Yan Feng. In previous years, when Zhou Yun was by his side, he would still feel a bit of a festive atmosphere. Now, except for being able to take a vacation, there is no point.

Europeans naturally attach different importance to Christmas than Yan Feng, and Christmas is no less important than Chinese celebrating Chinese New Year's Eve. Before such an important holiday, a meaningful game will be the biggest gift for the fans.

And the Granada team's gift to the fans before Christmas this time was presented together with the Barcelona team.

Before Christmas, there will be a world-watched battle for the top of the table in La Liga - Granada vs Barcelona.

Earlier, Granada's match against Real Madrid was hailed as one of the La Liga classics of the season. Now it's Granada's turn to play Barcelona, and naturally the world is watching. And such a big battle before such a show, the attention and popularity it has received are incomparable. And ahead of the match day, the sports media around the world are building momentum for this match. The same is true in China.

With Barcelona flying to Granada, the momentum of the game reached its climax.

"Barcelona is coming. How you will be in the mood for Christmas depends on the game in a few days. ”

"It's to defend the Granada fans who have a good Christmas. ”

"It's going to be a huge juncture in whether we can win the title this season. The closer the dream will be. "At home, it's another big game, and the whole Granada team started preparing for the game before Barcelona arrived. After their arrival, Yan Feng and Pirlo began to cheer their teammates on constantly.

The last game against Real Madrid brought enough confidence to the Granada team. However, after all, Barcelona are a different team, and Granada have not had a good record in previous meetings. Probably because of the style, Granada always had a harder time playing Barcelona than Real Madrid.

Originally, after leaving Neymar, everyone thought that the Barcelona team would gradually decline, but their performance from the beginning of the season to the present is very impressive. Even Yan Feng was extremely surprised by this.

"Maybe this is the heritage of the century. Yan Feng remembered the dominance of Dream Three, and the core Messi was still there at that time. As long as Messi is around, Barcelona will still be the team that can beat anyone.

Yan Feng thought of playing against the Barcelona team, in addition to feeling excited, he couldn't help but think about whether he could defeat them. Compared with the Real Madrid team that has been defeated in previous seasons, the Barcelona team is an opponent that Yan Feng has not won since he came to La Liga.

The Barcelona team can be said to be the opponent that Yan Feng is most eager to defeat today. The win over Barcelona was a testament to Granada's real rise. Yan Feng thought so.

Having withstood the test of Real Madrid, whether or not they can withstand the test of Barcelona is the last hurdle for Granada to prove themselves.

The importance of this game cannot be overstated.

In such a situation of great anticipation and great importance, the Granada team finally faced the current leader of La Liga Barcelona in the Granada team.

After the entrance ceremony, the competition began under the watchful eye of the public.

This is the first time that Yan Feng and the Granada team have faced a Barcelona team without Neymar.

Without Neymar, the trident is only left with Messi and Suarez. For this reason, the Barcelona team in this game is no longer the 433 team that Yan Feng is familiar with, but the 442 team that he has never encountered with the Barcelona team.

Messi and Suarez were at the front, with Rakitic, Sergio Busquets, Alcacer and Andres Iniesta in the middle. In the rear, Roberto, Pique, Umutiti and Alba were in the rear, while the goalkeeper was Schgent.

The people were basically the ones Yan Feng was familiar with, but now their position made Yan Feng feel unfamiliar. As for whether he still has the fighting power he once had, this needs to be experienced in the next game.

The Granada team faced the Barcelona team with 442 formations, and did not put on other professional formations, which were still the 4231 formations they were most familiar with. Pirlo believes that the formation he is most familiar with is the one who can best bring out his full strength.

Dominated by themselves, this is the strategy of the Granada team against Barcelona.

After the start of the game, after Messi of the Barcelona team returned to the front, Yan Feng still felt their strong offensive ability.

Today's Barcelona team is not in a hurry, and it is not like Real Madrid who are attacking with all their might. Instead, they tried to do so before they waited for an opportunity to attack.

Although they have not attacked in a big way, their good record so far this season has made them look confident even on the road.

On their home turf, Granada are more confident in attack. Under Luka Modric's organization, Granada's attack flowed towards Barcelona's back. The increasingly tacit cooperation and enough self-confidence made Granada's attack put a lot of pressure on Barcelona's defence.

In the first five minutes, Granada created two dangerous shots on goal.

Although he didn't score, he also fully aroused the confidence of the Granada team. Next, the Granada team launched a more aggressive attack.

In this case, the Barcelona team can only defend first. The Barcelona team was on the defensive, which made Yan Feng feel that their strength was not as strong as the results reflected. Although it is still strong, it is certain, but that kind of power has lost the dominance it once had.

'Old White' Iniesta is really a little old, and Yan Feng feels that his physical function is not as good as the previous two seasons. Even Pique also made Yan Feng feel old. Especially in the face of the impact of young Sandell, Martial and others, Yan Feng also felt that Pique had also passed his peak.

Seeing that Sandel could carry Pique and express himself confidently, and then seeing Anthony Martial confidently constantly impacting the Barcelona team's defense, and then turning his head to look at Messi, who was also actively joining the defense, Yan Feng suddenly had an idea in his heart. "Barcelona are old. ”

Compared with the emergence of young players such as Asensio in recent years, young players such as Samper can only be loaned out, and the Barcelona team that relies on Andres Iniesta and Busquets does not seem to be ready to deal with succession.

After ten minutes, although Barcelona were not suppressed by Granada, they looked less aggressive than Real Madrid.

This is Yan Feng's opinion on the Barcelona team after playing for 10 minutes.
