Chapter 19: Everyone's Doing
When Yan Feng returned to Granada and anxiously went to report to the team's coaching staff, Alcaraz first congratulated Yan Feng on leading the Chinese team to the World Cup. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info said that Yan Feng should be very tired now, there is no need to worry about the team's affairs, what is needed is to rest and adjust his body.
For the team to only win two consecutive draws, Yan Feng was very anxious. But looking at Alcaraz's appearance, he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
What Yan Feng didn't know was that, in his opinion, the Granada team had lost four points. Rather, in Alcaraz's view, one win and two draws in the first three rounds of the new season, which is a three-game unbeaten run, is a completely acceptable thing.
After taking over halfway through last season, Alcaraz led the team to a fifth-place finish in the league. To be honest, it was completely beyond his imagination. When he took over, his idea was really to lead Granada to relegation.
The fifth place was a complete surprise!
In the new season, although the overall strength of the Granada team has improved, Alcaraz does not dare to expect to achieve the same results as last season. His pre-season goal was to keep Granada in the middle of the pack this season. The other is to strive for the Europa League, and the results are not too bad.
Under this goal, one win, two draws, and five points in three rounds, Alcaraz is very satisfied. And for the opening game to win Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, Alcaraz felt quite lucky in his heart.
Alcaraz meant to give Yan Feng an extra day off and take advantage of the jet lag. In the next fourth round, whether you want to play or not depends on the situation. And he also used a reason that Yan Feng couldn't refute: the league is a season with a long time span, and it should be considered more long-term.
But on the second day, Yan Feng, who was used to getting up early, finally decided to go to the team's training base to participate in training.
When Yan Feng came to the gate of the base with his special football, he happened to meet Sandel, who also came to train.
Without waiting for Yan Feng to speak, Sandel opened his mouth first to say hello: "Hey, morning." Strict. ”
"Good morning! Yan Feng replied with a smile.
"Congratulations, Yan. Congratulations to China on reaching the World Cup. Sandel smiled and congratulated.
"Thank you. Yan Feng replied happily. To be honest, he genuinely likes the feeling of being celebrated for reaching the World Cup. Unconsciously, reaching the World Cup has become the glory of his career so far.
After greeting each other, the two of them walked to the training ground while talking.
"I envy you. Strict. Not only can you participate in the World Cup in Russia next year, but you are also a rookie who will score with the national team. I think you're a hero of your country right now, right? If only I were part of the national team. The more Sandel spoke, the more envious he became, and even his eyes had a hint of adoration.
"You're young. You can definitely do it in the future. And, with your current performance, maybe the Spanish team will be able to recruit them next year. Yan Feng could only comfort.
It's not that Sandel isn't good enough, it's that there are too many geniuses in Spain. Judging from the fact that Sandel has just played in La Liga, it is too early to enter the Spanish team with many talents.
If Sandel is Chinese, Yan Feng believes he is already the number one striker of the Chinese team. He will definitely be the main striker in next year's World Cup. Compared with Sandel, Gao Aircraft, Wuqiu Wang and others still have a lot of gaps in potential and strength.
I really envy the Spanish team. Even a player as good as Sandell can only be regarded as an ordinary player who is not well-known. If the national team has such teammates, I am satisfied.
"I'm still far from those geniuses. I know that I can't be recruited into the national team anyway. "Sandell is quite clear about whether he can make it to the Spanish national team. He knows very well how many pounds and taels he has.
"You have this kind of wisdom, and the future Spanish team will definitely not be without you. Yan Feng patted the other party's shoulder and said seriously.
"Hmm. You are my role model. I'll learn from you. Sandel said seriously.
"Oh. Yan Feng was quite surprised that Sandel actually regarded himself as a role model.
"Yan, you're an amazing person. When I learned about your origins and past, I have to say that I was stunned. You've been able to get to this point with extraordinary effort. I'm sure I'll learn a lot from your side. So that I can get to the way I dreamed of becoming. Sandel said as if he were a fan.
"Huh. I just give it my all in every game. You're no worse than me at all. Yan Feng said modestly.
"No, I know how big it is with you. Granada can do without me, but they can't do without you. Sandel said with all seriousness.
"It's not that exaggerated. I'm not here during this time, and you're not lazy. ”
"Nope. When you're not in these two games, I always feel like we're missing something. That's right, it's like there are two people missing, and there is less confidence to be ahead. ”
"Oh. I listened to your tone, what's the matter? These two games were played very poorly? I have been focusing all my energy on the national team during this time, and I haven't had time to pay attention to the club's games" Yan Feng heard the dissatisfaction in Sandel's words.
"Hmm~ How do you say that?" it happened that both of them had already walked to the training ground. After stopping and thinking for a while, Sundell asked, "Yan, do you feel that way?" It's just these games, we don't seem to be as good as last season. I always felt like something was wrong. There's a kind of saying called bottleneck, you say, are we experiencing this bottleneck now?"
"Bottleneck?" Sandel's words weren't the word, of course, but that was what they meant. Yan Feng listened and fell into thought.
To be honest, he only played one game in the new season. It's just the one against Real Madrid. But just that time, Yan Feng already had a similar feeling.
He just has that feeling, and the team shouldn't be like that. It should be something else.
"Well, I feel that way too. Yan Feng nodded when he thought of this.
"It's weird. This season, after adjusting some people in our team, the strength should have improved. Sandell's expression was puzzled.
"That's right. The quality of our team has improved, and that's obvious to all. Yan Feng agreed with Sandel's statement.
"But why, in these games, after playing, I don't feel this kind of improvement? Xander said with a frown.
"Maybe it's the newcomers Costa and the others, who don't have enough tacit understanding with everyone. After some time, after everyone's tacit understanding is fully cultivated, it should not be like this. Yan Feng thought for a moment and said.
"Hmm~ Maybe it's just a tacit understanding. I don't think of anything else at the moment. Sandel said he thought the same way.
"So, the most important thing for us now is to train harder. Then everyone should cooperate more and communicate more. Strive to make everyone more tacit with each other as soon as possible. Yan Feng said with a smile.
"Hmm. That's right. Now let's get to the practice. Sandel said.
"Good. Yan Feng nodded, and then began to warm up before training.
Since they were warming up, the two continued to chat.
"By the way, Gomez, how are you doing in the reserve team now?" Yan Feng remembered Gomez's words, he hadn't heard him babble for a while, and he missed it a lot.
"Him. I heard that in these games, he was arranged to start by Coach Lopez. And it's not bad. Sandel said. He and Gomez were good friends when they were in the reserves, and the contact between the two of them was much more frequent than Yan Feng. And Yan Feng was busy with the national team during this time, so he didn't have much time to contact Gomez.
"Oh, then it's time to congratulate him. It seems that he is now the main force of the reserves. Yan Feng also felt happy when he heard this.
Professional football is brutal, and not everyone who has practiced since childhood has become a professional player. After more than ten years of football, in the end there are only more people who can only find a poor job, and there will always be more people than people who play professionally.
Now Gomez has become the main player of the development team, although he only plays in La B League, but it is also a regular league. Compared to his previous situation of being swept away at any time, it is definitely many times better.
Don't look at Gomez's usual chattering appearance, in fact, people who talk a lot often have a good IQ and EQ. In Yan Feng's opinion, Gomez is definitely a player with a lot of brains. It's just that Gomez is a tall and thin defender who doesn't have the ability to fight, which makes him struggle when defending against the forward. To be reused by reserve coach Lopez now shows that he has come a long way.
"Hmm. He's overjoyed now. Often, when I have free time, I catch me and say a lot of things. Before I could finish talking, I felt like I was listening to a chant in a church that was several times faster. Oh! God. That's going to kill you!" Speaking of this, Sandel showed a palpitation.
"Haha! Looks like I've been avoiding him lately. If he comes to me in the evening, then I will definitely say that I am not available. Yan Feng smiled happily. He could imagine Gomez chanting. It's reciting Buddhist scriptures, but not reading the Bible. The appearance of the European Tang monk is definitely very cola.
The friends are improving. This is something to be happy about.
This also made Yan Feng inevitably think of Lin Fan, who was still in China. In the two national team games that entered the World Cup this time, although Lin Fan did not start, he achieved very good results in the limited playing time. Looking at Lippi's meaning, there is already the meaning of letting him sit in the main midfield of the national team.
The only regret is that Lin Fan was forced to stay in China. I couldn't come to Granada to fight side by side with Yan Feng again.
Because, this year's Chinese Football Association is very engaged. At one time, we will engage in the National Olympic Games to play in the Chinese Super League, and at the other time, we will have as many U23 domestic players as we ask for reinforcements, and at the other time, we will have to engage in other U23 leagues that have conflicts with the preparatory league. Yan Feng felt that the domestic football league was tossed down like this, and it was estimated that it would be another pill.
After the Chinese team successfully entered the World Cup, it is said that the Football Association now has a goal of qualifying for the National Olympic Games. And for this goal, a lot of things need to give way.
Yan Feng is very glad that he came to La Liga, instead of continuing to stay in the Chinese Super League where he doesn't know what will happen at any time.
It's not that Yan Feng looks down on the Chinese Super League, but that the country is always messing around like this, doing things that don't follow the laws of football development, and sooner or later the current booming Super League will be turned into the previous garbage league.
As soon as he thought of these messy things in the country, Yan Feng's good mood weakened a lot. So, I decided not to think about it.
Don't look at it, Yan Feng thinks a lot. In fact, there was silence for a while. After all, this kind of thing has been in my heart for a long time.
Next, Yan Feng and Sandel didn't continue to talk about anything. After the warm-up, the two began various exercises.
After practicing for a short period of time, other teammates also came to the training ground one after another. Many familiar teammates celebrated Yan Feng for leading the Chinese team to the World Cup as soon as they met.
And one of the most interesting about this is Longban.
"Haha, Yan, you are also a member of the World Cup, the highest temple of football. It's exciting. ”
"By the time it comes, next year, you'll be the only member of our squad to play in the World Cup. ”
"At next year's World Cup, I will definitely go to Moscow to cheer you on. You are my good brother, and your Chinese team is my team. I'm going to cheer for the Chinese team. ”
"I'm sure you'll shine at next year's World Cup. When the time comes, I will be able to tell others. Look, this big star, it's my teammate. We're still good brothers. Ha ha. ”
"If, then, your Chinese team can win the championship, it will be even more amazing. ”
Listening to the various beautiful fantasies that kept spewing out of Longban's mouth, Yan Feng was speechless while being happy. Looking at this posture, it is already comparable to Gomez's chatter.
Yan Feng knew that Longban was happy for himself. This is Lumpan's best wishes to himself.
"What about the championship? It is a great achievement for our Chinese team to qualify from the group. Although Lomban has good intentions, he really can't think of such a thing as a World Cup winner. The Chinese team is a few pounds and a few taels, he knows it very well.
"How is it possible? Only you are here, nothing is impossible. Longban said with a straight face.
"Hehe, I say, my good brother, you have more faith than myself. You can't let the reporter hear this, otherwise, tomorrow I will have to talk to a guy who doesn't know the sky. Yan Feng said with a smile.
"Haha. Rest assured. What I just said was just to cheer you up. Lumban said with a laugh.
"Haha'''"
The two chatted for a while. Soon, the coaching staff and others came.
Alcaraz could only smile helplessly and appreciatively and shake his head at Yan Feng's decision to give up his vacation and insist on coming to training.
Next, Yan Feng followed his teammates to participate in the team's training.
Not to mention, after all, I played two national team games, and I flew long distances everywhere in between. Yan Feng's body and state are still inevitably affected. It's just that Yan Feng is confident and quickly adjusts his body.
