Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Boring Days of Being Banned
It's definitely an uphill battle. How can a game that requires 12 opponents, including the referee, not be bitter?
The video replay after the game showed that Yan Feng and Sandel's goals were absolutely good goals. They were blown away by the referee to lose a victory.
Unwilling, helpless!
The game is over. The result that has been frozen is that there is no way to change it. Yan Feng and his teammates could only bear this result helplessly and unwillingly.
"Anyone with a discerning eye knows that one of our victories was stolen. We deserved to win this game. Now, because of some very incomprehensible penalties and such an ending, we have no choice but to accept it. Let's just say that we are not strong enough that no one can steal victory. ”
After the game, Yan Feng, who was extremely unwilling, angrily told the media in an interview.
Usually, Yan Feng is reluctant to be interviewed. Even when he was interviewed, he often said some polite words, but this time he really couldn't help it.
Yan Feng said these words, in addition to expressing anger and dissatisfaction, he did not directly name anyone. Having said it and venting it, he quickly put these things in the back of his mind.
However, what he didn't expect was that it was precisely because of what he said that he would be punished.
The Spanish Football Association actually issued a fine to Yan Feng on the grounds that he wantonly satirized the referee. A three-match ban and a fine of 3,000 euros.
"I'm super, I'm super, I'm super. After Yan Feng heard the news, he directly scolded three of them in a row. "Nima's, why don't you just ban four games, so that after that, I'll end the whole season and don't have to play. ”
Yan Feng really felt a sense of depression like a dog. He vented his dissatisfaction with the media after the game, but he didn't expect to be punished so seriously by the Western Football Association.
"Nima's, is this the Spanish Football Association or the Chinese Football Association?"
In the face of such a punishment, Yan Feng really didn't know what to say. However, the obvious fact is that Granada will be hit hard as a result.
Yan Feng is the captain of the Granada team, the core of the midfield, and the spiritual leader of the team. His ban was a predictable blow to the Granada team.
And, with only four rounds left in La Liga, it's really terrible for this Granada team to fight for a Champions League spot.
As a result of Granada's draw with Atletico Madrid in this round, they are still one point behind Atletico Madrid in the standings, thus temporarily relegating to fourth place in La Liga.
In the next game, there are still many chances for the Granada team to overtake Atletico Madrid. But now, Yan Feng's ban is likely to ruin their hopes of grabbing the Champions League tickets.
If you don't do well, you can also make the Granada team fall out of the top few directly, and you won't even qualify for the Europa League.
The Granada club immediately appealed against Yan Feng's punishment. But in the end, Yan Feng's fine could not be canceled. Not even a reduction in a ban.
There was no way to apply, and Yan Feng could only reluctantly accept such a bitter fruit. For this reason, he decided that it would be better to talk as little as possible in the media in the future.
What is said in the media is really too much to say and more wrong. He doesn't always be able to say something sensible, like this time, there are always times when he can't help but vent his frustration.
Yan Feng couldn't avoid being punished, and his teammates in the Granada team felt aggrieved for him. But everyone didn't dare to say anything in public. If you make some remarks in support of Yan Feng on Facebook and the like, if you accidentally don't do it well, you will also be punished.
In public, the rest of the Granada team refused to talk about Yan Feng's punishment. However, in private, everyone came to comfort Yan Feng.
For example, Lin Fan, Sandel and the others directly called Yan Feng out to eat on the night the news came out.
Originally, in the case of Yan Feng, the most appropriate thing was to go out and find a bar to drink. However, they are all self-disciplined professional players, and such a thing as alcohol is naturally more indispensable at this critical time.
The place where the few of them went was still the café that Yan Feng, Sundell and the others frequented.
"Come, Yan, have a cup of coffee and dissipate your anger. This was the first time Gomez raised his glass to Yan Feng.
"Good. Yan Feng raised the coffee and signaled, took a sip, put it down and said. "Anyway, brothers. When I encounter such a depressing thing, it seems that it is more appropriate to go drinking, right?"
"We know that Yan doesn't like to drink. This place is more suitable for you. Sandel said with a smile. "A hundred years ago, football people loved to discuss football in cafes, and that gave birth to modern football. ”
"That's right. Yan Feng nodded.
"Be happy, Brother Feng. You should think so, but fortunately you're not in the country right now. If it is in China, it is said that those who dare to sarcastically mock the referee in front of the public now start from eight games. Lin Fan interjected and said in Chinese.
"Domestic? When I think about it, I should be glad to be on the contrary. Hehe. After Yan Feng listened to Lin Fan's words, he thought about it, it was really true. As far as the virtue of the domestic football association is concerned, a lot of inexplicable fines can punish you for being stupid. Yan Feng's situation is really likely to start in eight games.
Seeing that Yan Feng's face was no longer so depressed, Sandel took a sip of coffee and said, "It's good to drink coffee here." It is said that a hundred years ago, the favorite place for football people to discuss football was not a bar, but a café. A lot of modern tactics and systems are discussed over coffee. ”
"Oh. It seems that we came here to drink coffee, and we really drank it right. When you say that, I feel more cultured. Yan Feng said with a smile. This is already the case, everyone comes out to get together, then be happy. It's useless not to think about it.
"Here, for coffee and football, everyone, cheers!" Gomez smiled and raised the coffee in his hand.
"Okay, cheers!"
Everyone raised their coffee and touched each other. This represents the elegance and culture of the coffee, which gives these people the feeling of a bar.
"Next, we didn't have a good game. Without strictness, it will have too much impact on us. After everyone had drunk coffee, Sandel thought of this and said with a frown.
"yes. Without Brother Feng, the team is like having no backbone. The next few games are so important, and this time the ticket is really terrible. Lin Fan also said worriedly.
"It's all like this, and there's no way around it. Don't worry, without me, won't there still be you?" Yan Feng was also very worried about the next schedule. But at this point, Yan Feng was useless no matter how unwilling he was. I can only pin my hopes on my teammates.
Sundell didn't speak, and although he was now the team's main striker, he knew he wasn't the one to end the game. Gomez didn't speak either, he is a reserve player, so naturally he can't affect the first team.
However, after Lin Fan heard this, he first groaned, and then patted his chest with a firm face and said, "Brother Feng, don't worry." I'm going to try to help the team. I'm going to do my best to help the team through this." Hopefully, we'll be able to hold out until you get back from the ban. ”
"Hmm. There's only one last game left after I've lifted the ban, and it's up to you to play the first game. Yan Feng nodded. But soon, he thought about the last game he could play, and the opponent was Barcelona.
"However, it seems that our last opponent was Barcelona. I'm afraid I'll be too late by then. ”
"Don't worry. Yan, we will definitely hold out until the day you come out to challenge the Barcelona team. I'm also eager to show myself on the big stage of the Champions League next season. Sandel said. Having experienced the Europa League, he is now looking forward to the Champions League even more.
"Good. I'll leave it to you before then. When I come back, we'll challenge Barcelona together. For the Champions League, come on!" Yan Feng said loudly.
"For the Champions League, come on!" several people shouted.
And when they shouted loudly, everyone around them turned their heads to look at them, which made them feel embarrassed.
"Uh~ I almost forgot that this is a café. Be careful, everyone. Yan Feng said embarrassedly. I usually like to motivate everyone loudly, and I'm used to shouting loudly.
Realizing that it was a few guys from the café, they didn't dare to make such a loud noise. If you accidentally happen to be photographed by the media. Tomorrow there will be news of rude players making a big fuss in the café.
No matter when it started, the café had become a place where Yan Feng and a few friends often met and chatted. Although compared to other players, they like to go to the bar, they are a bit weird. However, they prefer this kind of quiet place.
Yan Feng is also used to drinking coffee now. At home he likes to drink tea, and when he is out with his teammates, he drinks coffee. However, his teammates did not accompany him every time. There aren't many times we drink coffee together like this.
This time, Yan Feng stopped three games as soon as he stopped. He's going to have a pretty long break.
His team-mates have to prepare and play intensely and he can't play, which is really torture for him.
Moreover, in order to have better results in the three rounds of games without Yan Feng, Yan Feng also had to leave the main lineup during training. The game couldn't be played, and he had to give in even when he was training and preparing for the game, which really made Yan Feng very unaccustomed.
I can't help it if I'm not used to it. It is a reluctant move by the team to compete for a Champions League place. In this regard, Yan Feng naturally supports it.
It's just that watching his teammates work hard for the team, he can only be an outsider. It also made him feel down.
It seemed that seeing that Yan Feng was depressed, Pirlo simply often asked Yan Feng to discuss the strategy for the next confrontation with the enemy. At this moment, Yan Feng seemed to see that he was no longer an outsider, and his mood also recovered.
Next, Yan Feng and Pirlo continued to discuss the team's main lineup. From time to time, he also put forward some of his own opinions on the coordination and tactics of the main lineup.
When it was time for the game, although Yan Feng couldn't play, he cheered for his teammates every time. Even if it's away, he'll go with him.
During the game, he was unavailable. At half-time, he went straight into the dressing room. Then do everything you can to cheer on your teammates on the pitch. Of course, there will also be a discussion of strategy with Pirlo.
