Chapter 102: Crisis Comes

1:1. Granada ultimately failed to get into the dressing room with the lead.

Near the end of the road, he lost the lead, and Yan Feng was also helpless. No one is to blame for this goal. That's where the superstars in the opposition come in.

Scoring goals that you wouldn't normally be able to score is the value of a superstar. Neymar's goal was a complete reflection of his individual ability.

At that time, Neymar was forced near the bottom line, and there was no opportunity and loophole for him to exploit. But he used his personal ability to force the two from the bottom line and rushed into the penalty area. And then he hit the goal at such a small angle. This is futile to change any team to defend.

Although I am a little unwilling, I still have to accept this fact. However, the fact that this advantage was tied did not dampen the morale of the Granada team. Against a Barcelona team with three superstars in the front, no one dares to say that they can withstand and make it impossible for them to score.

'It was a good first half. Here I must applaud you. Pirlo returned to the dressing room and the first thing he said was praise and a round of applause.

Pirlo's words made many people secretly relieved. After all, it was hard to lead for so long, and to be scored near the end of the game, which made the defenders feel guilty.

'Barcelona will score, it was completely expected by me. And the first half was a draw, which was very beneficial for us. Pirlo said, pausing to sweep the crowd. Then, go on.

"We are younger and more energetic. In the second half, the physical disadvantage of their midfield will be even more obvious. Time is on our side. I'm confident that we're going to be the winners. ”

"That's right. The coach was right. In terms of physical fitness, it is our greatest strength. After 70 minutes, we will have the maximum advantage. Yan Feng interjected at the right time.

"I have one more piece of good news for you. Our rivals, Atletico Madrid, are currently 1 goal behind Real Madrid. Pirlo said with a smile.

"Oh, that's great. "In that way, it is more and more likely that we will move up to third place. When they heard this, they all became excited.

If Granada wants to overtake Atletico Madrid in the standings, not only can they not afford to lose, but the Madrid derby there also needs Atletico Madrid to lose. Now it seems that the situation is not bad for the time being.

Motivated by the good news, the entire Granada team screamed. Morale has reached a very high level.

After the break, the Granada team returned to the pitch in high spirits.

Compared to the high morale of the Granada team, the Barcelona team looked a little dignified, and it was even more dignified than when they were down in the first half. It seems that Barcelona also knows the situation of the other game.

"Hold it down, and we'll shrink it a little bit. You have to resist the opening wave first. Perhaps seeing the appearance of the opponent, Pirlo came up to Yan Feng and the others before the game started.

"Good. Yan Feng nodded. The look on his opponent's face made him know that they would encounter the most frantic attack from their opponent next. The start of the second half will be the toughest test of the game. If he continued to fight against each other, Yan Feng was worried that his side would not be able to withstand the opponent's attack first.

"They're probably going to have to fight hard. Everyone should be mentally prepared. After the start, we probably had to give up attacking and increase our defense. As long as we last 10 minutes, the rest of the game will be ours. Yan Feng conveyed Pirlo's meaning to everyone.

In the dressing room, everyone also expected Barcelona to step up their attack. But when I saw the appearance of the opponent, I realized that the situation was even more serious than I imagined.

Yan Feng felt that his side had underestimated the opponent's determination. Fortunately, Pirlo reminded him in time.

When the second half started, sure enough, the momentum of the Barcelona team was very scary. Barcelona, who had possession of the ball, launched an onslaught.

Although it seems that the Barcelona team's offense is still advancing layer by layer in the pass control, the momentum and rhythm give Yan Feng a very dangerous feeling. It can be seen that the Barcelona team has a stronger desire to score than in the first half. Moreover, even when they are lagging behind, they do not see this absolute attitude.

In the first wave of the offensive, Yan Feng and his teammates had a very difficult time to keep the goal from losing. This attack, in the end, allowed the opponent to complete the shot. It was Neymar, who just missed the goal. If you deflect it another ten centimeters to the goal, it is estimated that it will be scored.

The possession of the ball returned to the feet of the Granada team, and without waiting for the kickoff, Yan Feng saw that the opponent was about to press in the frontcourt. Unlike in the first half, Barcelona's defenders were pressed near midfield.

It was Yan Feng who took the ball, but this time he was forced by Suarez to turn around and had to share the ball. The defenders who can get the ball are also facing the crazy pressing of the Barcelona team. Under the pressure of the opponent, the Granada team kept passing the ball around the defenders and could not kick the ball out for a while.

Granada is not a Barcelona team after all, and the defenders' footwork and passing and control coordination are still a lot worse. When Yan Feng was chased to death by Busquets and couldn't get the ball, the others were finally forced to kick the ball forward.

This kind of kicking is naturally difficult to pass to the feet of teammates. Possession was again taken by Barcelona. Another wave of offensive swooped down again.

In this wave of attack, the Barcelona team hit the goal three times in a row before it ended under the tenacious defense of the Granada team.

This time it was even more dangerous to think of Neymar's shot. First, Suarez's shot was saved by the brave Ochoa, and then Messi's follow-up shot was saved by Lomban on the goal line. In the end, it was Neymar who followed up with the chaotic push and shot high into the back of the net.

Danger, but it was withstood anyway.

And such dangers do not end there. Granada, who once again had possession, were under the frantic pressing of Barcelona and it didn't take long for them to be lost.

Successive looms succeed and create a killing chance. This put great pressure on Yan Feng and others, and at the same time made the Barcelona team see the hope of scoring. This made Messi and others even more crazy and threw themselves into the attack.

The Granada team began to get more and more buzzing in front of goal. Under the onslaught of the Barcelona team, it looks shaky. A picture of the opponent who will be breached at any time.

"Come on, Granada. Hold on, Granada warriors. "In a crisis like this for Granada, the fans are starting to cheer harder for the players. Even Zhou Yun and the other four girls stood up nervously and followed the other fans to cheer for Yan Feng and the others.

Maybe it was the cheering of the fans that played a role. The Granada team looked dangerous, but under the tenacious struggle of Yan Feng and others, they always barely escaped.

Always a little bit short of scoring, which aroused Barcelona's desire to attack.

"It's just a little bit, if you work harder, you will definitely be able to enter. "Messi loudly motivates Neymar and others.

Pressing the Granada team in a row, the Barcelona players all felt that as long as they worked harder, they could score.

In the 55th minute, Neymar fired another long-range shot over the crossbar.

Ten minutes, from the start of the second half, Barcelona has been attacking Granada for so long. Every time, it looked like it was likely to score, but in the end it just didn't score.

Although the whole Barcelona team still maintains the desire to score, their physical fitness begins to be affected by continuous high-intensity pressing and high-tempo attacks. At this point, the momentum of the opening scene inevitably began to decline.

Next, Barcelona's offensive began to slow down.

After feeling the pressure drop in defence, the confidence of the Granada team began to rise. At the same time, Yan Feng also felt that he could breathe a sigh of relief.

It's very hard to bear. If it weren't for their tenacity, if it weren't for their luck. Yan Feng didn't think they could hold out until now without conceding a goal.

Now, the situation is beginning to change.

Barcelona's offensive slowed down, and Granada began to slowly reduce their inferiority. Gradually, there was a counterattack. In the 57th minute, Granada also scored for the first time of the second half.

Although it didn't go in, it was a good sign. This was the signal for the Granada team to start a counterattack.

Granada began to intensify their offensive and the situation on the pitch gradually began to change from the same as it had been in the first half.

The morale of the players in the Granada team is rising, the worries of the fans have been cut away and the confidence has returned.

"Counter-attack, Granada. Kill those actors!"

After seeing Granada finish with a hit on goal, fans began to look forward to the goal. A home win over Barcelona is starting to become more and more likely.

"Whew~ It's too hard to bite, are we going to lose another championship again?" Messi thought as he gasped.

At this time, Messi began to miss immensely, four or five years ago. I miss the era when Dream Four dominated the football world. At that time, against such a Granada team, it was not easy to win, but it was definitely not much of a problem to lead by a goal or two. Like now, he's old, Andres Iniesta is old, Xavi is gone, and Pique isn't that young. It seems very difficult to win against a team that was once unsightly.

Even Messi began to doubt the win, and the morale of the Barcelona team inevitably began to drop.

The Granada team really had their chances.

Seeing that the situation was reversing, but at this time, there was an accident.

In a scramble that didn't look very intense, Ingarson was injured. He fell to the ground after the battle, and then he fell to the ground, and then he couldn't get up again.

After the team doctor entered the field to check, Yan Feng got a bad news. Ingathan couldn't keep the game going and had to make a substitution.

Ingason is Granada's main defender. With the depth of Granada's bench, there is no one who can replace him well.

And it was at such a critical time that such an accident occurred. Yan Feng's psychology couldn't help but be overshadowed.

With Garson unable to continue, Pirlo had to make a substitution. He replaced the injured Ingason with 24-year-old Silva. Silva is the main rotation player for Granada, but he is still far inferior to Ingason.

Yan Feng realized that because of Garson's injury, his team's defense would be greatly reduced. The attack that withstood the opponent's 'trident' was very reluctant before, and after the substitution, it will not be optimistic in defense.

Although Garson's injury has affected everyone's psychology to some extent, the Granada team, which has finally turned the situation back, will naturally not give up the opportunity to attack.

Granada continued to keep up the intensity of their attack, and it worked well. Their resolute attack could still pose a threat in Barcelona's penalty area.

Soon, the game time came to the seventieth minute. Players on both sides have been affected to varying degrees by the decline in fitness. At this point, the Granada team can begin to manifest.

The physical advantage will allow them to get the most favorable situation since this game.

"One in, one in!"

In the seventy-fourth minute, cheered on by the fans, the Granada team launched another onslaught. After a series of coordination and quick onslaught, Granada successfully attacked the front of the Barcelona penalty area.

Under a precise through plug from Lin Fan, Aslan successfully rushed into the penalty area and completed the goal. It's a pity that Aslan's shot was blocked by goalkeeper Schgent. Then, Pique was the first to clear the box.

Gerard Pique was forced to clear the line, but his clearance was a surprise opportunity for Barcelona.

Pique's clearance sent the ball into Silva's area. I don't know if it's because I'm nervous, or if I didn't warm up enough and didn't move my hands and feet, Silva didn't stop the ball when he stopped the ball. Silva stopped the bouncing ball a few times before it was stopped.

And just as Silva finally stopped the ball and looked up to see what he was about to handle, Suarez suddenly approached him. Suarez's quick approach startled Silva and he hurriedly kicked the ball to his teammates.

But Silva, who was a little flustered, made a mistake in his busyness, the intensity of the kick was not enough, and the angle was not good, and he was cut off by Suarez halfway.

After Suarez broke the ball, he immediately began to run forward. Silva went up to intercept but was dashed past by Suarez.

"I'm super. Hurry up and chase it!" Seeing this, Yan Feng's liver was about to split, and he hurriedly shouted loudly for everyone to defend themselves. Yan Feng set off at full speed, but because he was really far away, he couldn't catch up at all.

Suarez rushed past the clearing in front of him after Silva. Except for the goal in the distance and goalkeeper Ochoa, no one could stop him.

Suarez raced the ball into the box and calmly picked it up in the face of Ochoa.

Ochoa waved his hand to block it, but could not do anything and the ball went over his head.

β€œGOAL!!!!!!!!”

"Suarez !!"

1:2. Granada was overtaken.
