Chapter 17: The state is mediocre
After that, Yan Feng really stopped overtraining, which made the other teammates breathe a sigh of relief.
Although he no longer trains frantically, before the fourth round of La Liga, Yan Feng's physical fitness still cannot be fully recovered. This affected Yan Feng's state.
Fierce form is something that no player can maintain for long, no matter what. And once the body can't recover in time, the state will inevitably not get better.
In the fourth round of La Liga, in the Granada team's away match against Real Sociedad, Yan Feng's performance was very average.
I didn't make any mistakes, but I committed more fouls. And in a foul caused by a late goal, he received his first yellow card of the new La Liga season.
A yellow card won't have much impact on Yan Feng, but it also shows that his state is relatively average. After the whole game, Yan Feng's performance was not outstanding.
In the end, the Granada team won the game with a score of 2:1.
This victory did not come easily. It was Granada who conceded the first goal. Not only did they fail to equalise in the first half, but they were also undominant.
It was in the second half that the Granada team came into play. And the main credit comes from the super breakthrough ability of the two wings and two horses.
The equaliser came from Riyad Mahrez breaking through and striking a long-range shot. The goal was scored by Anthony Martial after breaking through the bottom and passing backwards, followed by Modric's clever pass to Sandel, who then scored with ease from behind.
It can be said that these two goals are completely a reflection of the individual ability of the attacking players. Overall, the performance of the frontcourt players is still very good.
The reason why it didn't reflect the bigger advantage was mainly because there was something wrong with the defense in the middle and back. Loosened up in defense and not as solid as it was later.
In the post-match ratings, the higher ratings are the offensive players in the front court. The players in the backfield, including Yan Feng, are not highly rated.
With a score of only 6 points, it is really rare for Yan Feng. You must know that in the first two seasons, Yan Feng's average rating per game exceeded 7 points.
With a score of only 6 points, it can only be said that Yan Feng's state has fallen into a slump. Still, all this doesn't seem to have gotten much attention.
If it was in the previous season, once Yan Feng only received such a rating, it would definitely attract the attention of many Granada fans. But right now, not many people will pay attention. A good start to the new season, the brilliant head of the attacking players stole all the attention.
Seeing that he only got such a rating, Yan Feng was not very happy in his heart. But he also understood what was going on. Affected by his mood, his state is far less energetic than before.
Because of this, Yan Feng found that he didn't know when he began to receive less attention as a captain.
In the Granada team right now, the one who has attracted the most attention is Sandel. His astonishing performance of four goals in four games in La Liga has attracted a lot of attention from the outside world.
"Granada was born with four goals in four games, and he is on par with Messi in the scorer list. ”
"One goal per game, the king of efficiency. If this momentum continues, maybe there will be one more contender for the Golden Boot this season. ”
"Discover a new edge sword. Spain need Sandel for the World Cup in four years' time, if Spain wants to have a good result. Such a player with great power and has shown his edge is absolutely indispensable. ”
Because of his excellent hot form, Sandel has not only been recommended by many footballers, but many people have even begun to call for him to be brought to the Spanish national team.
During this time, the most bet on Granada is undoubtedly Sandel. But the man who is regarded as the most important core is none other than Modric.
He averaged one assist per game, 95 per cent of his passes were successful, and he averaged as many as four dangerous passes per game. All this made the outside world shout: "Modric is the core of the Granada team." His artistic, passing playmaking transformed Granada from a simple counter-attacking defence into a flamboyant attacking team. ”
"Granada's attack has been sublimated, they are a team that is very creative and dangerous in attack. And it was former Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric who brought about this change. ”
"Judging by these games, Modric has become the soul of this team. He is the brain of the Granada team and the most indispensable person. ”
Modric is highly regarded by the outside world. And this kind of evaluation is something that Modric could not get in the Real Madrid team.
Real Madrid is Cristiano Ronaldo's team, and while Modric has often played an important role, he has not been able to fully exploit his talents.
Granada is different. After arriving in Granada, Modric found himself truly at home. He was still a little uncertain before he came. But he soon discovered that all his conducting talents could be fully utilized here.
Modric found that captain Yan Feng was not a domineering person and would not compete with him for the ball. On the contrary, Yan Feng's presence could liberate him from defense. He can organize the attack with all his heart. Even on a whim, he can show off his skills and breakthrough ability.
After a few games, Modric has fully integrated into the Granada team. He was happy. Sometimes I even have the feeling that I have returned to the young and frivolous scolding of Chief Fang ten years ago.
In the Granada team last season, it was often Yan Feng who went to the news interview with the head coach after the game. And in these games this season, none of them were Yan Feng. It's either Sandel or Modric.
In this regard, Yan Feng still felt a little uncomfortable. He had mixed feelings. These circumstances, first, show that he has more reliable teammates to trust. Second, it also shows that his importance in the team is declining.
Yan Feng was both envious and jealous, but he didn't feel that his captain's authority was challenged because of this. Nor did the desire to exclude Modric arise as a result. With his current prestige in the Granada team, if he really wants to exclude his teammates, then this person will definitely be in a difficult situation.
Yan Feng understands all this, mainly because after the World Cup, he has been in a mediocre state. If you want to shine and get attention, the key is to get yourself in good shape and play well in the game.
In order to regain his form, Yan Feng began to work hard to adjust himself after the fourth round of La Liga. To this end, he also took the initiative to seek help from the coaching staff.
Yan Feng is trying to recover his form, but somehow, he just found the feeling he had last season. Can't lift up.
