Chapter Seventy-Five: This Is a Different Team from Granada
On the bench of the Sevilla team on the sidelines, Sampaoli, who was sitting in his seat, picked up a water bottle and prepared to take two sips to suppress the anger in his heart. But after just two sips, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't help but smash the water bottle on the ground.
“SHIT!”
The good times are gone. The revenge that was about to succeed is now in vain. Granada, who equalised, will definitely take the opportunity to achieve a comeback.
"Nasri, bastard, I shouldn't have sent him up. "Sampaoli is starting to regret bringing on Nasri. Nasri, who has a somewhat unruly personality, has been put on the bench by him for disobedience to discipline before.
Regardless of Sampaoli's current views on Nasri, things have already been done and he can only accept it. Now all he has to do is make the team able to withstand the next attack.
Sampaoli was furious, but by the time he got up and walked back to the sidelines, it was hard to see much anger on his face.
"Steady. Now it's just a matter of getting back to the same starting line. Be optimistic about your position and the position of your teammates. Defend first. We won't lose this game. Sampaoli made a gesture of pressing down with both hands, and then shouted loudly to the players on the field. What he has to do now is to calm the team's morale first. He can't let the players on the pitch be chaotic.
Under Sampaoli's reassuring shouts, the Sevilla players gradually calmed down from their lost distractions.
Under Sampaoli's tutelage, the Sevilla team, which can occupy the top few places in the La Liga standings for a long time, naturally has a strong enough ability to resist pressure. The rejuvenated Sevilla FC players quickly returned to their positions and then kicked off to replay the game.
Because the score between the two sides is now tied, the Sevilla team after the restart does not have the same idea of wasting time as before. You know, before the game, they kept shouting for revenge and winning. Therefore, after being tied by the Sevilla team players, many people's minds have returned to the idea of wanting to attack.
The Sevilla players wanted to re-attack in their hearts, but the Granada team, playing at home, was unwilling to give them a chance. was passively beaten for a long time, which finally equalized the score, and the momentum also overtook it, if you don't take this opportunity to make persistent efforts, it will be stupid.
Sevilla had just kicked off at half-time when the Granada players burst into action with a roar. With high morale and the excitement of wanting to win, the Granada players launched an even more frantic press in front of the court than before.
The Granada players in the excitement were doping, running fast and seemingly unaffected by the physical decline that comes with playing most of the half.
Under the frantic pressing of the Granada team, the Sevilla team looked nervous, and after being forced to pass a few times, there were helpless mistakes.
The ball was back at the feet of the Granada team, and the Granada players were even more excited. Soon, they launched a powerful attack. This time it was a smooth shot, but it just didn't go any further.
Sevilla kicked off again, this time with goalkeeper Rico opting to kick off in order to relieve the pressure on defenders to be pressed. Drive the ball far into the midfield, at least you can scramble, right?
After the football flew to the midfield, Yan Feng and Nasri had a scramble. Although Yan Feng fought for it, the football he got did not become the ball at the feet of his teammates. The ball was lifted in the air by Sevilla FC players back to Granada's half, then by Kos, and then back by Sevilla FC players. For a while, the ball was like a volleyball, bounded by the white line in the midfield, and was constantly pushed over and over by both sides.
After ten matches, he was finally snatched by the Granada team.
Go on the offensive now. There is still time, but the sooner you score, the better.
After a few passes, the ball was played to the edge of the Sevilla penalty area. This time, it was Sandel who had his back to the ball, but he didn't hit his team-mate as usual. As a striker, he wants to score more than anyone else.
Sundell turned his back to defender Rami and first wrapped his right foot around the football, his shoulder sank to the right and turned with the ball to the right. Then, when your right foot hits the ground, quickly turn to the left and fish with your right foot at the ball.
Behind him, Rami was confused by Sundel's feints and took a small step to the right, and by the time he realized that Sundell was half a beat slower to the left.
But Sandel took advantage of this half-beat horizontal band and directly got up and shot a long shot.
"Boom. "The ball hit the far corner with a lot of power.
It was a very good quality long-range shot. Unfortunately, this time Sevilla's goalkeeper Rico came to an extraordinary performance. Rico swooped in quickly and parried Sundel's beautiful long-range shot to the baseline.
"Ahh
"Well played! I almost got in. Yan Feng came over and praised Sandel.
"It's a pity that I was pounced. I really want to score goals, as a striker I haven't scored in several games. Sandel said reluctantly.
"I'm sure you'll score goals soon. Maybe the next time you hit the door, you're in. Yan Feng smiled and comforted. He understands Sandel's idea and supports it.
In fact, this time, of course, Yan Feng had to follow quickly, and Sandel could hit the ball to Yan Feng as before. Although Sandel chose to come by himself this time, Yan Feng was not dissatisfied. The game requires 11 people to work together, and the team-mates can bring their own threats, so that they can contain the opponent and share the strength of their own defense.
More attacks, more threats, this is the most headache for the defending side. Because it's hard to defend in a targeted way.
All in all, Sandel's choice, although it did not score, brought a great threat to the Sevilla goal. And the attack didn't stop there, they still had a chance to take a corner.
Corner kick chances. It was a great opportunity for the Granada team. Due to the poor organization of the attack during this period, set-piece opportunities such as corner kicks are highly valued by the Grasunda team. This also happened to make the Granada team's set-piece tactical ability improve a lot.
Yan Feng and Lin Fan both squeezed into the penalty area, and the handling of the corner kick was handed over to Costa.
Granada have put a lot of force into the Sevilla penalty area and such opportunities need to be taken advantage of. As for the Sevilla team, they also invested heavily in defense. Almost all of their players on the pitch are piled up in the box.
For a while, the restricted area was almost full of people. After Costa's corner kick came out, it caused chaos in the box. After a period of confusion, the ball was cleared out of the box by Sevilla players.
It was Sevilla's luck this time. The ball that cleared the box landed right at the feet of their only striker outside the box, Jovetic.
After Jovetic got the ball, he cleverly passed it back to Nasri, who was originally at the top of the box.
When Nasri got the ball, his eyes lit up and he began to run forward with the ball in a cheerful manner.
Granada's Ingassen immediately stepped forward to intercept, but was dodged by Nasri's dunk.
As soon as Nasri succeeded, the whole person became excited again. I started to push forward with the ball at a faster pace.
Yan Feng saw that the opponent launched a counterattack, and hurriedly chased after the backcourt. But due to the previous scuffle in the penalty area, by the time this situation was discovered, it was already far away. For a while, Yan Feng was not able to return to the defensive position quickly.
Sevilla, on the other hand, found this to be an excellent opportunity. Many of the players began to run forward with all their might to meet their teammates.
This time Sevilla FC advanced very quickly and quickly passed the midfield. and continued to approach the Granada defensive third.
"Hmm. Good. Sampaoli couldn't help but get excited when he saw his players launch a quick counter-attack. When Nasri and Jovetic approached more than ten meters in front of the Granada penalty area, Sampaoli clenched his fists excitedly.
"Come on, I'm going to score this goal. 'It's a rare opportunity and Sampaoli is hopeful that his players will score it. As soon as this goal is scored, the whole situation will be turned around.
On the pitch, Nasri received another pass from a team-mate. This time he was facing Granada defender Lomban directly. This is his chance.
Nasri decided to take the opportunity to his own in order to wash away the responsibility for the goal he had conceded.
Lomban knows that behind him is the goalkeeper and the goal, he is the last line of defence and cannot afford to lose. Lumpan, who had been a little too brave in the past, was very calm this time, carefully guarding and distancing. Don't take your feet or out of position.
Nasri tried to break through Lumban, but without success. But that didn't dampen his desire to score. Instead, he continued to put pressure on Lumban and looked for an opportunity to hit the back of the net.
"Pass, pass. Nasri. Sampaoli's anxious words came from the sidelines.
It's a pity that Nasri didn't seem to hear it this time, and he saw that it was difficult to completely get rid of the entanglement of Lomban, and he was very happy.
Just as Sampaoli's words fell, Nasri suddenly pulled the ball out, and then suddenly got up and shot.
Lomban struggled to reach out and get out of the ball, but he was half a beat slower and didn't get a gear. Although he didn't block the goal, his entanglement interfered with Nasri's shot and failed to hit the goal.
“NO!” But after seeing the football high and wide of the goal, Sevilla's head coach Sampaoli hugged his bald head directly, and the disappointment on his face was overflowing.
"SHIT! Why don't you pass it on? What a great opportunity. If it comes out, ''Ah!''" Sampaoli was really angry this time. What a great opportunity.
"Well guarded, Lombana. You've made a difference in your defense this time. Yan Feng, who was desperately rushing back, applauded Long Ban happily. Although he tried his best to chase back just now, he still couldn't return to the position for a while. In the chaos of the departure, he happened to see a Sevilla player in a good position. If the ball is passed, it will be a great threat to the goal.
"Haha. It's actually quite dangerous just now. Lomban laughed happily.
"That's true, there's a loophole just over there. Fortunately, he chose to come by himself'''" Yan Feng had some gratitude to Nasri, who was hanging his head.
It's time to get back to the game. Now it was Granada's turn to go on the offensive.
Yan Feng and his teammates returned to their positions one after another, ready to meet the ball from goalkeeper Ochoa. But at this moment, Yan Feng saw the fourth referee standing on the sidelines with a player from the Sevilla team and holding up the number plate.
"Replace No. 10!No. 10?" Yan Feng turned his head to look at Nasri. I saw that the expression on Nasri's face, who was depressed but slowly returned to his position, turned black as a mourning woman after a series of changes.
Yan Feng looked at Nasri, a strong opponent he had to deal with hard, and was reluctantly walking to the sidelines with an expression of anger and loss, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
When Nasri walked off the field, he suddenly kicked a drinking bottle away in anger. When he approached the submarine, he even took off his jersey and threw it directly at the submarine.
Yan Feng saw all this. He was sympathetic and emotional about Nasri. That didn't affect him for long, though. He turned his attention to the game.
Sevilla FC replaced Nasri with a defensive midfielder. It seems that they are ready to accept a point from a draw.
The point of the draw, if it was twenty minutes ago, I believe that Yan Feng and the rest of the Granada team would be willing to accept it. Well, by now, the momentum of the Granada team has risen. They are no longer satisfied with a draw.
Sevilla FC did strengthen their defence after replacing Nasri. They managed to fend off Granada's onslaught for the next few minutes.
All this seems to indicate that this game is likely to end in a draw. However, at this time, a person stood up.
This person is Lin Fan, who started his first wonderful performance after going abroad when the game time reached 88 minutes.
Lin Fan first cooperated with Yan Feng, Costa and other teammates to push through the midfield, and then turned around and lightly passed Ibola, who was guarding him, when receiving the ball. And this beautiful turn, while winning a round of applause from the fans, seemed to inspire him.
Next, Lin Fan ran wildly with the ball all the way, passed two people in a row, and successfully broke into the penalty area. In the penalty area, facing the siege and interception of the Sevilla defenders, Lin Fan moved left and right and shook off the angle. A tricky low final shot sent the ball into the bottom left corner of the net.
“GOAL!!!!!!!!”
As the ball rolled into the net, the entire Granada Stadium erupted in deafening cheers. Immediately afterward, the whole stadium was boiling.
Granada overtook the team. After being suppressed for most of the half, they suddenly broke out, and finally achieved a reversal with Lin Fan's amazing goal method.
Happiness came too suddenly. Although I was full of such expectations, it was realized, and it was realized in this way. Everyone in the Granada team was so excited that they didn't know what they were shouting.
At this moment, I don't know how many people had an idea flashing in their hearts. It's a different kind of Granada.
