Chapter Ninety-Nine: Lifting the Ban

"I'm going, it's called recuperation? You can go to the slam dunk contest. ”

"What's going on? It's clearly a slap in the face to Mourinho!"

"Now it's really clear. Yan Feng has no injuries at all, he is abandoned. ”

"Are all those rumors true? Yan had a quarrel with Mourinho because he didn't agree with Mourinho's philosophy, and then he was abandoned?"

"There's chaos in the locker room!!, the rumors were confirmed. Mourinho's relationship with captain Yan deteriorated. The Granada team fears chaos. ”

In fact, after Yan Feng did not appear in many games, there was still a lot of news about the deterioration of his relationship with Mourinho. It's just that because the Granada team's gag order is extremely strict, none of the people in the team dare to reveal their tone when they are questioned.

Now as soon as Yan Feng's video came out, he directly refuted Mourinho's remarks about his physical discomfort.

Originally, the outside world always thought that the Granada team was very united within the team. Now it has finally been discovered that the Granada team is not monolithic.

"Sure enough, Mourinho really can't handle the relationship with the players. "Someone is impressed.

'The relationship between the manager and the captain is not good, and the impact is too great. It's no wonder that the Granada team has been looking down on things lately. The captain who has so much credit has been abandoned, and the Granada team is going to have a disaster this time, what should I do?"

"The Granada team is in turmoil! The opportunity is here! Yan is very popular in the team, and this is good. The Granada team is going to be in chaos. "There were also people who began to gloat.

The Granada team was happiest with civil unrest, and of course those who were directly rivals. Since this incident broke out, many fans have found that Ronaldo has been in a good mood recently. To be sure, a lot of people have been in a good mood lately.

"What should I do? I can't go on like this. The situation must change. Seeing the situation worsening, Jiang Lizhang finally decided to no longer tolerate Mourinho's excessive arbitrariness.

Under the pressure of Jiang Lizhang, Mourinho transferred Yan Feng back from the reserve team in order to alleviate the internal instability.

Yan Feng finally returned to the first team. But he soon discovered that Mourinho's attitude towards him was extremely cold. It is almost certain that the relationship between him and Mourinho has become irreconcilable. At most, if you survive this season, one of them will definitely have to leave.

This is evidenced by the fact that he has only been on the bench since he returned to the first team.

With such an understanding, in addition to serious training and not giving truth, Yan Feng basically no longer communicated with Mourinho.

Rao returned to the first team, but Yan Feng did not return to the starting position soon. In the next game, Yan Feng was pressed on the bench by Mourinho. And the playing time in each game is minimal. It is often after 70 minutes of the game that there is a chance to come off the bench.

Mourinho is clearly deliberately curtailing his playing time. And Yan Feng received cheers and support from the fans every time he appeared. He tried to play as hard as he could in his limited playing time every time so that Mourinho had to put him on the pitch.

Yan Feng's popularity in the team is still very good. Especially those good brothers, who will constantly create opportunities for him. This made Mourinho very unhappy, but he didn't dare to say anything. Since Yan Feng was delegated, he also felt that many players' attitudes towards him were changing towards coldness.

Due to the limited playing time, although Yan Feng performed well, after all, there was too little time, and it was difficult to play a performance that made Mourinho have to let him start. Especially once he is on the pitch, the team's tactics are often required to stick to it. This made him have little chance to perform well.

Lin Fan and the others were all crying out for Yan Feng, but they didn't dare to provoke Mourinho head-on. Many fans were also dissatisfied, but Mourinho didn't care at all. Even if Jiang Lizhang asked Yan Feng to enter the starting lineup, Mourinho still refused on the grounds that the current arrangement was suitable.

This situation was not settled until after the match against Barcelona.

Everyone knows how important the game against Barcelona is. But even so, Yan Feng was still not put down by Mourinho as a starter.

At the Camp Nou, Yan Feng sat the bench. In the intervening, without him, Granada's ability to compete in midfield was clearly inferior to Barcelona's.

In the Barcelona team, Paulinho's performance, which is very similar to Yan Feng's style, is extremely eye-catching. Paulinho constantly disrupted Granada's system in midfield, and also brought a lot of threat to Granada's goal with frequent insertions. And it was Paulinho's long-range shot that broke the deadlock on the field.

Paulinho's amazing performance made Yan Feng, who is also a B2B midfielder, both envious and on pins and needles. Watching Modric's body suffer against Paulinho. Seeing that Lin Fan was facing up, he also fell into the wind. This made Yan Feng hate to rush forward by himself.

However, Mourinho pressed him to the bench. Even if he was a goal behind, he was not allowed to play after the start of the second half. It wasn't until more than 70 minutes, after Barcelona scored another goal, that Mourinho sent him up.

Faced with the situation of falling behind by two goals, Yan Feng worked hard. But after all, the general trend is going, and under his leadership, the Granada team failed to recover the defeat in the crazy counterattack before the game.

In the end, Granada lost to Camp Nou.

This defeat made the Granada team's already small lead in points suddenly narrowed to only one point by the Barcelona team. If it weren't for the big advantage accumulated at the beginning of the season, this son would probably have been overtaken.

Although Granada remained at the top of the table after this game, the lead has become extremely small. Even Real Madrid, who are in third place, are only three points behind.

Granada's defeat was a huge boost to their rivals. As a result, the situation of the Granada team is not as stable as last season.

Lost, Mourinho's employment policy was greatly questioned. And he still said stiffly: "At the end of the game, I came exactly as everyone expected, but you saw it, and it still didn't change anything. Again, not even a single goal. ”

Mourinho's hard-mouthed mouth was not recognized. Under internal and external pressure, he had to let Yan Feng return to the starter.

Yan Feng returned to the starting lineup, which greatly revitalized the morale of the Granada team. The return of the strongest squad allowed Granada to stabilize their position and regain victory in the next matches. As a result, a slight advantage is maintained.

The Granada team is back on track. But Yan Feng no longer obeyed all his commands. As long as there is an opportunity, Yan Feng will definitely participate in the attack.

Naturally, this is something that Mourinho is very unhappy about.

And the soon-to-be-arrived winter transfer window has given Mourinho the opportunity to find a player he likes.

As a result, Mourinho asked the team to bring in Casemiro of Real Madrid. However, it was rejected by Jiang Lizhang on the grounds that the team's midfielders were enough.

Jose Mourinho has been insistent and has repeatedly demanded that Casemiro or other well-known defenders be bought. But Jiang Lizhang rejected it on the grounds that the current configuration is very good and the team needs stability.

This made Mourinho very unhappy. The relationship with Jiang Lizhang has also become a little strained.

Under such circumstances, Yan Feng was able to continue to start. And ushered in the last important competition of the year - the Club World Cup.
