Chapter 32: The Glory of the Walker
After sending Li Xueer and them away the next day, Yan Feng devoted himself to the team's training again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Since his debut, he has started to feel like his opportunities are on the horizon. Because in the next month, R&F will have to face a number of games.

May 22 ~~~~~~
Seeing such a schedule, Yan Feng smiled heartlessly. And he smiled very happily. He didn't know how much head coach Stojkovic had lost for such a schedule.
Zhang Yaokun and Tang Miao, who were injured in the game against Suning, have been confirmed to be suspended for a month and half a month respectively. The R&F team's backline was almost immediately short of major generals. This made Yan Feng begin to realize that the opportunity for his take-off had appeared. Whether he can seize this rare opportunity will depend on whether he performs well in the games he can play in the future.
Soon, Yan Feng flew to Jinan with the team. Probably due to the poor results of recent times, Stojkovic is under a lot of pressure. Therefore, as soon as they arrived in Jinan, the team conducted closed training.
Although the team looked tired and most of the players were in mediocre condition, Yan Feng was very happy and excited. Because he started to participate in the team's tactical drills during training, it indicates that he has a good chance to play in this game.
On April 29, the seventh round of the Chinese Super League officially started.
Before the kick started, Luneng's home stadium was occupied by an orange patch. The deafening cheers resounded in the sky. Looking at those enthusiastic fans, Yan Feng, who was sitting in the submersible bench, was still full of emotion. Luneng's fans are just good. I still love Luneng as always.
In other words, Luneng can be said to be the most disappointing Chinese Super League team in recent years. From the former Chinese Super League champion to now, he can only strive for the AFC Champions League place in the FA Cup, and he has fallen a little fast.
In the AFC Champions League, Luneng was often disappointing, and won the title of 'Tragedy Team' because of many big losses to opponents. In the Chinese Super League, Luneng also has a resounding name 'Pacers'.
From these two titles, you can see how disappointing Luneng is. Yan Feng still remembers that Luneng was once the overlord of the Chinese Super League, and now it is really a pity that he looks like this. Because of this, Yan Feng admires the fans who have supported Luneng for ten years.
Speaking of fans, the feeling that the Chinese Super League gives Yan Feng is that there are enough fans and enough enthusiasm. Unlike the Chinese League, especially the Shenzhen team, there are often only a few hundred fans. Tickets for the Chinese League are generally only about 20 yuan, which is very cheap, but not many fans are willing to come to the stadium to watch the game. Tickets for the Chinese Super League are often five to ten times more expensive, but the fans are still enthusiastic.
This objectively shows that the level and attention of the Super League are too much higher than those of the Chinese Super League. Yan Feng felt that playing in such a league was something that he enjoyed even more.
The game began with Yan Feng's emotion. At the beginning, both sides played conservatively, not very fast-paced and not too intense. It can be seen that both sides are testing each other. It's just that this temptation seems to be a bit long. It wasn't until 20 minutes into the game that the tempo of the two sides increased a bit.
As soon as the rhythm of the game was raised, the real offense and defense began. And in the change of rhythm, the R&F team has a relatively better grasp. When both sides began to intensify their attack, the R&F team suddenly stepped up the pressure in the midfield.
It may be that the slow pace in front of the Luneng team made the players of the Luneng team not get used to it, and they were suddenly so flustered by the R&F team. In the panic, the R&F team quickly grabbed the ball.
R&F, who had grabbed possession, immediately launched a quick counter-attack from the wing. Chen Zhizhao carried the ball on the side to attack, and broke through Luneng's side defense at once. At this time, Luneng's walker tradition was carried forward again. After the team conceded a goal, several players in the midfield, Wang Yongpo, Hao Junmin and others were chasing back. It's just that the speed of the chase, it is estimated that the aunts who often dance square dances are faster than them.
Luneng once again habitually retreated too slowly, so that there was a big gap in the middle. After Chen Zhizhao hit the attacking third zone, he looked up and immediately crossed the ball to the middle. And Lu Lin just happened to rush to the ball, and did not stop the ball, but went straight forward, and then broke through Luneng's entire defense line with one acceleration.
After bursting into the penalty area, Lu Lin, who was very fast, calmly fired a low shot into the far corner in the face of Wang Dalei. Wang Dalei made every save, but still couldn't stop the ball from rolling into the goal.
After seeing the ball roll into the goal, Wang Dalei immediately jumped up and shouted at Wang Yongpo and other teammates who were late: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Why don't you return to defense after losing the ball? Can you run? Can you concentrate?"
In the face of Wang Dalei's anger, Luneng's other players did not dare to look at him directly. Turning their heads to see Lu Lin, who was celebrating wildly with her teammates, they lowered their heads wordlessly.
"Beautiful! Brother Lin did a great job!" After seeing the goal, Yan Feng also shouted excitedly. The feeling of sitting in the bench and watching the game is not the same as being in the stands. Seeing his team-mates score in the stands before, he didn't feel as strongly as he did today.
The reason for this is simple: when the team is ahead, he will have more opportunities to play and more playing time.
After the goal was celebrated, the game resumed.
Perhaps it was Wang Dalei's angry rebuke that awakened the fighting spirit of Luneng players. After the restart, Luneng began to launch an onslaught against R&F. At this time, Luneng attacked very resolutely, and at the same time, the speed also increased.
In this way, R&F's defense line began to be put to the test. And R&F's defense line today is really not much. After losing Zhang Yaokun and Tang Miao, the back line has become a little porous. Fortunately, Luneng's players did not have a strong ability to grasp the opportunity and did not recover the score quickly.
Although the success rate of Luneng's attack was not very strong, it still caused a lot of pressure on R&F's defense. No, a few minutes later, Wang Hao's foul gave Luneng a chance for a free kick.
The free-kick chance wasn't great, a little far from goal, more than thirty metres away. It's not easy to score from a free-kick so far away.
"Hey, it was Dai Lin who came to punish this ball?" Yan Feng was surprised to see Dai Lin standing in front of the ball. At such a distance, it is difficult for even those famous free-kick masters to score, let alone Dai Lin, a central defender?
Dai Lin is one of the five villains and is notoriously defensive villains. Yan Feng hadn't heard of his ability to take free kicks. Therefore, Yan Feng didn't think that he would shoot directly, and even if he did, there would be no threat.
And R&F's players on the field also think so, including goalkeeper Cheng Yuelei. However, what was surprising was that it was really Dai Lin's free throw, and he actually shot directly at the goal. And the most surprising thing is that his free-kick volley actually went in.
"It's in???" Yan Feng was a little dumbfounded, unable to believe that this was true. Didn't you say that Dai Lin would only foul and take cards?
It seems that the legendary five villains of the Super League are indeed not simple. This can play the main force of the Chinese Super League, and there are indeed two brushes. Yan Feng began to put away his contempt.
R&F had only scored for a few minutes before Luneng equalized. Now, the two sides are back on the same starting line.
Maybe because the team is no longer behind, Luneng began to play unhurried again. Next, the two sides went back and forth, and the balance of power was played again. Although the tempo of the game was much faster than in the first 20 minutes, it was not very intense. The two sides played sluggishly and failed to score again until the end of the first half.
After the start of the second half, the two sides still played unhappily. Ten minutes into the second half, the two sides were still tied. You take a long shot, and I'll shoot back. The chances on goal were not out of the question, but the game was not a stalemate.
"Why doesn't this game feel good?" Yan Feng watched the game on the field on the bench, feeling that this rhythm was fast and could be compared with the middle league. In his impression, the Chinese Super League games he saw before were more paced and more intense.
In fact, the R&F team has always played at a fast pace. Pay attention to beautiful offense, and the speed of offensive and defensive switching is very fast. And today may have been influenced by Luneng, and he also played a little slowly.
Just when everyone felt that the game was not exciting and intense enough, the situation on the field suddenly changed again. It's not that the pace of the game has suddenly become faster, it's not that the intensity has become stronger. Instead, Luneng got another chance for a free-kick.
This free-kick opportunity, in a better position, just near the top of the arc of the penalty area. It was a great opportunity, and Wang Yongpo took it. After Hao Junmin dangled a shot, he kicked out a beautiful arc and hung straight into the corner of the goal, Cheng Yuelei made a full save, but he could only sigh.
"It's another free kick!!" Yan Feng sighed helplessly. Luneng can't do anything else, the ability of this set-piece is really good.
The game was overtaken by Luneng, and the home fans began to cheer excitedly. Luneng's players are also happy.
And the opponent once again took advantage of the free kick opportunity to score, and the R&F players were very depressed and at the same time not very convinced. As a result, they began to launch a fierce attack on Luneng's defensive line.
After stepping up their attack, R&F got several chances to shoot on goal, but they couldn't get on the scoresheet. R&F's offense put a lot of pressure on Luneng, and they saw that a wave of attacks would break down their defense. At this time, in a ferocious defense, Dai Lin kicked Chen Zhizhao, who broke through with the ball, and injured him.
"Test! Is this deliberate?" Yan Feng couldn't help but burst out after seeing Dai Lin kick and injure Chen Zhizhao. But when you think that this guy is one of the five evildoers, it seems that this is normal.
Although Dai Lin's foul brought him a yellow card, it also abolished a very threatening attack point for R&F. In this way, R&F's offensive gradually slowed down, and it no longer brought a major threat. The situation has also changed, Luneng has attacked again, and it has become even with R&F again.
Seeing that the time went to 70 minutes in one fruitless attack and defense after another. Stojkovic, who was anxious at first, asked Yan Feng and the rest of the submariners to warm up and prepare. (To be continued.) )
