Chapter 80: Facing a Powerful Enemy

In the Champions League group stage, the Granada team can be said to be red across the board, and the situation is very good. This naturally kept the morale and morale of the Granada team very high.

That's a great thing. Especially for Granada, who are back in the league and will face strong opponents right away, it's really beneficial.

This time the opponents are real strong opponents, and they are more dangerous opponents than Tottenham. It is the direct rival of the Granada team that wants to look at the La Liga title at any time - the Barcelona team.

Last season, Granada and Barcelona were in a close battle for the La Liga title. In the end, Granada only took the title by one point.

was only snatched away by the Granada team by one point, and it is conceivable how unwilling and dissatisfied the Barcelona team was. In addition, the difference of one point is still generated in the direct exchange between the two sides. Therefore, for the reunion of the new season, everyone in the Barcelona team, including those who are holding their breath for revenge.

"Last season we lost the title because we lost the game in the second direct conversation. This time, we're going to have to be ashamed no matter what!"

"Where you fall, you have to get up!"

"The lost honor must be taken back with your own hands!"

Whether it is the fans, the players, or even the coaches, they are all clamoring for revenge on the Granada team. For the great Barcelona team, for so many years, they have only one real opponent, and that is the old rivals Real Madrid.

And since Messi, in the competition against Real Madrid, they actually have a big upper hand. Last season, Jing Ran lost the championship by losing a direct head-to-head match. This is even more unacceptable to them than losing to a weak team.

As for the Granada team, because Mourinho is a new owner, although there have been a series of victories in the front, many supporters still have no bottom in their hearts.

"When Jose Mourinho met Barcelona when he was at Real Madrid, he often fell into disadvantage. This time, I really can't guarantee that I will be able to get out of it. ”

"Barcelona's revenge is so strong, and it's to Camp Nou again, I really don't have confidence. ”

Because this game is the away game of the Granada team, and the Camp Nou is the same again, the fans of the Granada team have expressed similar concerns.

Granada vs Barcelona.

Now it's the absolute focus of the battle. Not only has it attracted worldwide attention, but the significance is really huge.

There have been so many encounters in the past, and seriously speaking, the Granada team has been fighting Barcelona with the situation of the underdog. This was true even last season.

And back at Camp Nou, after snatching the La Liga title, the mentality of the Granada team is a little different.

In the past, there was no way out, and I had to fight. And now, the mentality is a little subtle. He is confident that he has the strength to outperform his opponents, but at the same time he is very worried that he will lose to Camp Nou.

This subtle psychology brings more pressure than the last time we met.

Jose Mourinho is also a human being, and he easily spotted this through his pre-match training and conversations with his players.

Knowing the psychological pressure of the players, as an old driver, his way to deal with it was very simple, that is, to drive the bus out.

A 541 formation, coupled with Modric on the bench, replaced by a more defensive midfielder, directly made a group of Camp Nou fans scold.

"Guy who can't afford to lose. Shameless. ”

"Coward, coward!"

"This is the Camp Nou, do you think it's useful to defend blindly?"

~~~~~~

To be honest, Yan Feng still has opinions about Mourinho's arrangement. In his opinion, in the face of a strong enemy, retreating means being inferior. Today's Granada team still needs to fight for a breath.

Mourinho is not Pirlo, and he will not ask Yan Feng's opinion. Yan Feng could only keep his reservations in his heart.

Mourinho never cares about other people's voices, he always cares about the result.

Actively compress the space and give up the initiative, although this makes the Granada team less impressive. But this point is very good to restrain the Barcelona team.

BARCELONA, WHO HAVE A KITI-KATA TRADITION, IS STILL DOMINATED BY PASSING, EVEN UNDER VERVERDE. Passing the ball requires a certain amount of space, and it is often difficult to break through the defense when facing positional battles, especially when the opponent cannot hold on.

The Barcelona team was depressed. From last season to the present, Coutinho has fully integrated into the team. After some old men were cleared, Barcelona can be said to have stepped into an excellent situation.

As long as there is enough space, or the opponent dares to bomb, the Barcelona team is 100% confident that the opponent will be knocked down first. Now facing the shameless Granada team, there is no way to start.

The Granada team was under a lot of pressure at the beginning, and the momentum was far inferior to the home team. But after steadily locking up the offensive routine of the Barcelona team, it gradually stabilized.

After keeping Barcelona scoreless in the first half, Mourinho sent in Luka Modric to intensify his attack in the second half.

The introduction of Modric has accelerated the transition between attack and defense of the Granada team, and also strengthened their offensive firepower.

Of course, these are just appearances, Modric is on the pitch, and the Granada team is still focusing on defensive counter-attacks. More energy is still mainly focused on defending without losing.

This made the Barcelona team happy for nothing. Messi was helpless and wanted to rely on his breakthrough to create opportunities for the team. However, now he is no longer young. In front of the young and strong Granada team's defense, it is no longer possible to regain the majesty of the past.

Led by Messi, the Barcelona team attacked fiercely. However, after almost being saved by Sandel on a counter-attack, and then almost by a free-kick by Luka Modric, Barcelona had to slow down.

This slowdown, like discouragement, has greatly reduced the momentum of the Barcelona team. When Messi's face was helpless, the game lost its suspense.

Granada drew 0-0 away at Barcelona.

Granada didn't win again, it's not perfect. But the Barcelona team wanted to take revenge at Camp Nou, and they were really depressed.

After the game, Barcelona lost all kinds of Granada team's persistence.

"In the face of an iron turtle, no matter how good the teeth are, people can't bite them open!"

In the face of the opponent's helplessness and ridicule, Mourinho said lightly: "Take a point away from the opponent's home stadium, and this point is likely to become a key factor in determining the outcome of the whole season in the end." This is still a good result. ”
