What went wrong on the Atletico Madrid side was not particularly important to Yan Feng. After all, after this game, we won't meet again this season. However, if Atletico Madrid sinks, Granada will have one less competitor behind them.

Having won against a strong opponent, the spirit of the Granada team has returned. For a while, Modric, who seemed to be in a bad mood, returned to his face with confidence and a calm smile.

In other words, Modric was the biggest contributor to winning this game against Atletico Madrid. Because the three goals are all related to him, one goal was planned by him, and two goals were directly assisted by him.

With such a good performance, Yan Feng believed that the strategizing offensive commander was back. Granada will once again show that flashy attack in the next game.

Thinking that the team would be full of firepower next, Yan Feng was very happy.

It's just that this kind of firepower is in full swing, but he is going to be absent. Because he needs to return to China and lead the Chinese team to the quadrennial Asian Cup. Although there is an international break during this period, it is inevitable that some Granada games will be missed. You must know that the goal of the Chinese team in this Asian Cup is to win the championship, and if it is really practical, it will miss more club games.

Fortunately, before Yan Feng finishes the Asian Cup, the Granada team will not meet Real Madrid or Barcelona. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"The team is up to you. The Magic Flute. Yan Feng handed over the captain's armband to Modric before leaving the team.

"Don't worry. When you come back, we'll still be a championship contender. Modric said confidently.

Yan Feng returned to China with peace of mind. Modric's calmness, Yan Feng believes that he will not disappoint him. In fact, Yan Feng felt that if he left the team temporarily, Modric would definitely be more excited. He has always felt that Modric wants to take a team that belongs to him completely to play and win the championship. His prestige in the Granada team is still something that Modric can't grab in many ways.

Yan Feng returned to China to participate in the Asian Cup, and Lin Fan also had to return to China to play. Without these two midfielders, Granada still have a few good replacements, but this is bound to make the team's title race even more difficult.

The road to the championship of the Granada team is not smooth, and the road of the Chinese team to the Asian Cup championship is also the same.

As the Asian seeded team, the Chinese team will not encounter strong opponents such as Japan, South Korea, Australia and Iran in the group stage. But once you enter the knockout stage, you will definitely have a hard battle.

Yan Feng and Lin Fan's return to China was naturally warmly welcomed by the fans. With the current fame of the two of them, these situations have long been expected, and there is nothing special.

Due to the tight schedule, Yan Feng didn't have much time to go to Shenzhen to greet a group of acquaintances this time. He went straight to the national team to report.

Since the Asian Cup is held in China, Yan Feng has to run a lot less.

The game was held in China, and with the current popularity of Chinese football, it goes without saying how enthusiastic the fans were there. It is destined to be a great success.

The group stage will be played in 10 days. As a host, playing three games in 10 days is always a little less expensive than other teams. This is the more advantageous aspect.

It is precisely because the Asian Cup is held in China that domestic fans are bound to win the championship. Today's fans no longer accept results other than championships.

Since participating in so many Asian cups, the Chinese team has never won a championship. This will be the best time since 2004 to win the title.

You have to win on your home turf. This has become the biggest goal of the Chinese team, and naturally it has become the biggest pressure.

This time, it was the old man Lippi who led the team. It's just that compared to the team that participated in the World Cup last year, many old faces no longer appear. This is an extremely young Chinese team.

Because of the team's youth, the team's ability to withstand pressure is somewhat inferior to other teams. And veterans such as Yan Feng and Feng Xiaoting have become important candidates to stabilize the morale of the army.

As the captain of the 28-year-old Yan Feng, he naturally took on the burden of a 'veteran' without hesitation. In the game, he was a father and a mother to support the rear of the young generations without worries.

Yan Feng and Feng Xiaoting sat in the middle of the midfield, allowing the young Chinese team to unleash their youthful and frivolous talents.

Three opponents in the group stage: North Korea, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia. None of the three teams are particularly strong, and none of them are weak.

In the three games of the group stage, the Chinese team did not perform very consistently. Nor did they slaughter all their opponents as unstoppably as the fans had hoped. In every game, the Chinese team played a little stumbling. None of them were clean sheets. The process of the game is also full of ups and downs, and sometimes even in a backward situation. Fortunately, in the end, all three games were won.

The North Korean team is tough and tough, dares to fight, and is not easy to admit defeat. The Chinese team played against the North Korean team for most of the half, and Lin Fan scored the winning goal in the second half.

The Saudi team has a good strength, and the individual ability of the players is also outstanding. This caused a lot of problems for the young Chinese team. In the end, it was the Chinese team that killed the opponent in the second half with a header from a corner kick by Feng Xiaoting.

The UAE team, on the other hand, was the team that caused the most trouble to the Chinese team in the three group games. The Chinese team even lagged behind the UAE team at one point. However, in the latter part of the second half, the Chinese team rose to the occasion, and the young Liu Ruofan scored the equalizing goal, and finally Lin Fan killed the game with a free kick.

From backwardness to victory, it can be said that the process is quite thrilling. However, such an experience has worn out the Chinese team. It can be seen from the fact that the team is playing more and more stable, and the young players dare to score goals, it can be seen that the Chinese team is getting better and better.

In these three games of the group stage, Yan Feng actually took on the responsibility of a nanny. As soon as the team is not in danger of failing, he will give the stage to the young players to perform. But when the performance of the Chinese team in the outside world is up and down, he is actually the most stress-free one.

These three games are of little significance to Yan Feng. However, the final match against the United Arab Emirates caused him some feelings. Because he has met an old opponent again. Omar, who was, and is still Gulf Messi, was and is still the Gulf Messi.

Omar was still as light as an elf, and he was doing very well. The goal behind the Chinese team was a free kick he scored.

Yan Feng's feeling is not that Omar is still so strong, but that he is still at the level when he went to Europe.

Pity!

This is Yan Feng's biggest evaluation of Omar after this game. After the game, the two also exchanged jerseys. After Yan Feng exchanged jerseys, he saw an extremely complicated feeling in Omar's eyes.

Envy, unwillingness, helplessness, regret, and even other emotions. Yan Feng felt that these emotions converged to the end, and there was only one sigh left.

This made Yan Feng feel that he had left R&F back then. If he didn't come out back then, but stayed in R&F, maybe he would have won a lot of championships and won the Asian Footballer of the Year many times. But in the end, he must have this kind of look!

I'm glad that I came out with all my heart back then!

Disperse these emotions. Eyes back to the Chinese team.

Although three games and three wins in the group stage have also honed the team well. But there is still bad news for the Chinese team. In fact, in the second game with Saudi Arabia, the number one striker of the Chinese team, Wu Qiuwang, retired from the game with an injury. After inspection, he was unable to contribute to the Asian Cup match later.

The road to the championship will really not be smooth, and the difficulties will become more and more difficult. The next knockout rounds will require the dedication of a new generation of players.
