After a good start to three consecutive league wins, Granada's league campaign has come to an end.

Granada also had their first real test of the season, the Champions League.

It was Granada's first Champions League game in their history, while their first opponent in the group stage was Roma from Serie A.

Roma is a team that is familiar to football fans all over the world. And to Yan Feng, the Roma team is still a strange team. He's not a Roma fan and he hasn't paid much attention to other teams since he started playing professional football. Naturally, I don't know much about the current Roma team.

As for the Roma team, although they have almost become the second millennium in Serie A in recent years, their strength should not be underestimated. Roma's tough-nosed style will be a test for this Granada team.

Are Granada really as strong as they seem on paper, can they still be sharp in attack against strong defensively opposition, and who is the stronger captain and who is the more leader?

These are the arguments and questions about the two teams in this game.

"Judging from the previous three league games, Granada is still very strong. It's just that this is their first time participating in the Champions League, and as rookies, it's really hard to say. ”

"Only Luka Modric and Vidal are the only two players in the Granada team who have Champions League experience. The others, not even their captain, Yan, had ever experienced it. Their opening game against a strong Roma side was not a good result. ”

"Roma's defensive quality is not comparable to that of the Spanish team, and in the face of a tougher, more solid defence, Granada's attacking appearance is likely to be revealed. ”

The outside world is not very optimistic about Granada's first Champions League game. Even the Spanish and Chinese fans, who are the most supportive of them, remain cautious.

Although the previous La Liga game performed gratifyingly, everyone still didn't dare to be too confident in the Champions League.

"I don't know if Granada will be able to play. The Roma team's defense may make them hit a wall. "After all, it's the first time, even if the fans have a lot of confidence in the Granada team, they will inevitably be worried in their hearts.

"Two captains, is Pelosi stronger? or is Yan Feng stronger?"

"It's definitely Pelosi who is stronger, he's more experienced, he's more of a leader. 'It's the attitude of the Roma ball.

He also said, of course it's Yan Feng. He's younger, he's better physically, he's more punchy. "Chinese fans naturally have to support their own people.

The respective captains of the two teams, Yan Feng and Pelosi, are also the focus of attention from the outside world. Even in the eyes of many people, the two people in the same position are both defensive giants and captains, and they are still similar in many aspects. The only thing that makes people feel that each has an advantage is the one mentioned by the respective fans above.

As for who is stronger, it still needs to be known after the game.

And Yan Feng, who was the party to the topic, naturally heard all kinds of judgments from the outside world. For Pelosi, Yan Feng still knows a little. And these understandings mainly come from the match in which Italy was defeated by Sweden in 17 years and missed out on World Cup qualification.

"Why do you want me to go up, we want to win, not to keep the draw!" Pelosi refused the assistant coach's request to warm up and prepare to play, and Yan Feng's image is still full of profoundness.

For the Italian team to pass through a typical team World Cup, Yan Feng is still very surprised. It is precisely because of this that he feels sorry for the Italian team. At the same time, he also quite agrees with Pelosi's ball.

The same position, coupled with the attitude of daring to express different views, Yan Feng appreciated it very much. As for the confrontation with this upright guy, Yan Feng is still looking forward to it.

Back in the squad, Granada have a lot to offer Roma. After all, it was their first Champions League appearance and they would love to do well. At the same time, they also want to see that they are at that level now. Only by withstanding the test of the Roma team can they really have the confidence to face the competition for the La Liga title.

"Champions League game, go all out!" is the slogan of the Granada team. Don't be high-profile, and don't show weakness.

After the whole team flew to Rome, they did not go out to relax, but quickly devoted themselves to intense preparations.

A few days later, the tournament came as scheduled.

The Stadio Olimpico in Rome, the home of the Roma team, was flooded with countless fans on the day of the match. Next to the many Roma fans, there is also a group of fans belonging to the Granada team.

This time, there were quite a few Granada fans who traveled with the team to Rome. And these fans are not only local fans in Granada, many of them are local Chinese students in Rome. There are even some Chinese tyrant fans who flew over from China.

As an away fan, the number of people is naturally far from being comparable to that of the home team. But the number of fans is not large, which still makes Yan Feng and others who are fighting away feel very encouraged.

"Look, there are so many people supporting us, how can we let them down?" Yan Feng said first. Naturally, his words were quickly supported by other players.

After an entrance ceremony, the race finally began.

As an away team, and in another Champions League match, Pirlo chose to defend. This is supported by the players. After all, it was the first battle, and everyone was still more or less cautious.

4231 formations, the usual formation of the Granada team. The top of the front is still Sandel, the forward midfield is naturally none other than Modric, the two wing-backs are still Martial and Mahrez, and then the midfield double gate of Yan Feng and Lin Fan is behind. The back line, is McTakie, Ingasen, Lomban, Vidal. Instead of using Kovic, I used the more experienced Longban.

This is the most balanced and well-structured formation of the Granada team.

The Roma team, which is playing at home, has a more offensive formation of 433 formations. Captain Pelosi sits in the middle, and Dzeko, Udel and Shaarawy form the attacking trident of Roma.

After the start of the game, the Granada team appeared to be more cautious. Instead, Roma, who have home advantage, are much more proactive. They look more aggressive.

"Crush them. Let them understand that the Champions League is not so easy to mix. Roma captain Nancy Pelosi called for the first offensive.

The Roma team was very aggressive, and their offensive looked oppressive. It's just that the defense of the Granada team is not something they can underestimate. Roma's first attack naturally didn't pose much of a threat.

When it came time for Granada to attack, Pelosi had his eye on Modric. "Give these Spaniards a taste of our Roma defence. Modric will leave it to me. ”

Although Granada is a rookie in the Champions League, after all, the madness of the summer transfer market is still very noticeable, and it is impossible for Roma to ignore it. After research, Roma understood that Modric was key to Grana's attack.

Pelosi has his eye on Modric, whose main task is to freeze Modric, the playmaker of the Granada team.

Since Pelosi is about the same age as Modric, he does not suffer in terms of footsteps. But his tougher body and tough-guy style did cause Modric a lot of trouble when entangled.

In Granada's first attack, Modric was brought down by Pelosi soon after winning the ball in front. Not even a chance to organize.

After kicking off again, Granada's attack was also unable to pose much of a threat under Roma's tough defence.

The first back and forth, neither side was able to create a threat. But it was evident that both sides were equally tough defensively.

After the initial trial, both sides had a preliminary understanding of their opponents. After discovering that Granada's defence was solid, Roma did not rush it.

For the first ten minutes, it looked like the two sides were battling their defensive prowess. After understanding each other, the two sides intensified their attacks.

Since Roma are in an attacking formation, their attack looks a little stronger. However, the tacit cooperation between Yan Feng and Lin Fan made the middle attack of the Roman team basically abolished. This left Roma with only two sides to intensify their attack.

Granada have long been accustomed to this kind of situation, so they are still working the wings. With the two wing-backs not making big mistakes, it seems unrealistic for the time being for Roma to achieve the desired effect.

In fact, in the past two seasons, the Roma team's attack has not been so ideal. Even in Serie A, it's not particularly strong.

In the face of Granada's solid defense, Roma's attacking formation was a little ineffective. Having discovered this, Roma switched to strengthening their defence first. There is no need to make substitutions, and in the game they can be very flexible in switching formations in attack and defence.

Roma have strengthened their defensive input, so that Granada's attack will be more resisted.

And Modric, under the entanglement of Pelosi, is limited in connecting the ball, so naturally he can't play his full strength.

The soul of the attack was limited, which greatly affected the Granada team's attacking attack. The most obvious is that the arrow at the front, Sundel, has received significantly less support than in the previous game.

Another obvious sign is that the frontcourt players are starting to play more singles. Especially the two wing-backs, Anthony Martial and Riyad Mahrez. They are all people who are extremely confident in their skills.

Anthony Martial and Riyad Mahrez had more time on the ball and more attempts to break through. Their strong individual abilities really give them an edge in one-on-one. However, Roma's defense is not leading individually, they are very good defensive as a whole.

The two horses can break through one, or even two, but they can't break through the defenses of more people. They have great individual qualities, but they are not Maradona. More solo results have been that Granada's attacks often end at their feet.

Granada couldn't find holes in Roma's defense, and Roma couldn't break through Grada's defense. This has left the two sides in a stalemate. The game is also more about who has the better defense and who is less prone to mistakes.

The end result was that in the first half, no one could help anyone.

The second half, after a break and adjustment, began quickly.

After the restart, both sides made a change of formation.

Amazingly, the two sides seem to have reversed. Granada became a more aggressive 433, while Roma switched to 4231.

The reversal of the formation also means a change in the mentality of both sides. Obviously, Granada are more confident, but Roma are more cautious.

became 433, the personnel did not change, Yan Feng was still in the middle, and Modric moved to the right side. In this way, the attack of the Granada team can be launched from both sides. And Modric and Lin Fan can do this.

On the Roman side, Pelosi faced Yan Feng. The captains of both sides finally faced each other directly.

After the start of the second half, Yan Feng and Pelosi soon faced each other. When these two macho men meet, it is naturally a Mars collision with the earth.

Don't look at Pelosi's age, but he is not scared at all, in the face of Yan Feng, he is still very fierce.

And although Yan Feng admires the opponent very much, the best way to appreciate the opponent is to defeat the opponent with all his might.

As the game progressed, Yan Feng and Luo Peixi collided again and again. That kind of ** collision, look at the fans have a feeling of train collision.

The collision between the two captains also drove the players of both sides, which made the intensity of the game skyrocket.

Roma are tough teams, while Granada have become more technically oriented with the arrival of Luka Modric and others, but they are also tough at the core.

In this way, the game went in**, and the fierce and tough confrontation made the scene exciting.

The increase in physical confrontation and the intensification of the midfield competition made the game more inclined to fight unconsciously.

However, it was a mixed bag for the Granada team. The good thing is that they have a physical advantage in the early stages of the game, and the bad thing is that their fluid attack is greatly affected.

Andrea Pirlo and Luka Modric naturally want to change that, but the situation of the game is not something that can be done just by thinking. Most of the players on the pitch had to invest in this attrition.

With 80 minutes played, Granada's physical advantage was evident. So they pressed it hard.

To their surprise, the Roma team, which had a large physical drain, did not rest on its laurels. And after a few changes, Roma's defence is still very tenacious and tough.

Especially their captain Pelosi, who kept gritting his teeth and fighting with all his might. Under his leadership, Roma kept their tenacity and ferocity until the last minute of the game.

In the face of the tenacity of the Roma team, the Granada team's fierce offensive never yielded results. Although there were more chances in the second half of the game, they just couldn't really break down Roma's defence.

In the end, the game ended with a score of 0:0.

A game that was more than intense, but no goals scored. This is Granada's first Champions League game.
