Chapter 64: It's hard to get there
Lin Fan's career in Europe began like this, but it was not so fast to officially start the game. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is still a big gap between La Liga and the Chinese Super League. Although Lin Fan is already a relatively high-level player in the Chinese Super League, he still has a long way to go if he wants to be competitive in La Liga.
You must know that it took Yan Feng a few months to play from the reserve team to the first team before.
Now the first thing Lin Fan has to do is to adjust the jet lag first and adjust his physical condition to the best state. And it's not easy to do that. Especially Lin Fan has just experienced a season of the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League, in fact, he is still a little tired physically.
Moreover, Lin Fan still needs to work hard to keep up with the rhythm of the team. The pace of the Chinese Super League and La Liga is several notches behind, and it takes unimaginable effort to adapt. On the other hand, it is more difficult than adjusting your physical condition to the best.
Therefore, naturally, after Lin Fan came to the Granada team, he could only sit on the wall and watch, and he didn't even enter the squad.
In the 23rd round of La Liga, Granada challenged Real Betis away. It is estimated that in order to familiarize Lin Fan with the La Liga arena as soon as possible, Pirlo asked Lin Fan to go with the team. Unlike other people who are not in the squad who do not accompany the team to the away game.
Real Betis is still a little inferior to Granada, which can be seen in the current fifteenth place in the standings.
However, Real Betis are playing at home after all, and both the psychology and home advantage allow them to play better.
On the other hand, the Granada team, because Lin Fan is temporarily unable to play, the impact of Samper's departure is still very large. In this game, Pirlo was interested in making Granada play against the opponents and actively fighting for the victory. But the reality is not too good.
After 90 minutes of hard fighting, it was only in stoppage time that Yan Feng defeated the Real Betis team with a tough long-range shot.
Although Granada won the game, the whole process was a bit difficult. The fact that Real Betis have played so hard has made the outside world begin to confirm that the Granada team has lost a lot of strength due to Samper's departure.
"Granada won hard, it was so difficult against a weak team, it was a very difficult thing to get a good result in the rest of the fixtures. ”
"Granada have won, but the decline has emerged. The fifth-place position may be difficult to maintain. ”
"This proved that Samper's departure hit the Granada team hard, and the new Chinese player Lin Fan was unable to play, and it seems that he is not able to take on this important responsibility. ”
"Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that China Lin will not be able to replace Samper's role in the Granada team. This multi-million euro transfer will be their biggest failure this season. ”
Some insiders revealed that China Lin couldn't keep up with the team's rhythm in training. In this situation, if you want to play, it is basically impossible. Maybe he really has potential, but this is La Liga, not the Super League. It's full of talent, and he's come to La Liga and he's not even an ordinary player. ”
"China's Yan success is hard to replicate. Every year, hundreds of Chinese players come to Europe in search of opportunities, but very few can stay, let alone play at the level of Chinese Yan. There is only one strict in China. ”
"I have to regret that this transfer of the Chinese boss was a failure. Granada need players who can play right away, and it's clear now that that's not the case with China. ”

After the match against Real Betis, the outside world began to hear this kind of voice frequently. These voices have more or less an impact on the interior of the Granada team.
The outside world can't say that all of this is right, but there is one that is right. Buying Lin Fan really can't play right away. This is not a good option for Granada, who are desperate for new signings to play.
Yan Feng also realized this at this time. However, he did not regret it. Whether it is selfish or for the future of the team, he is willing to let the team buy Lin Fan. Of course, in this situation, he can only focus on retaining fifth place, which can earn a place in the Europa League.
Similarly, Pirlo, as the head coach, was only aware of this at this time. Pirlo also admits that he is too young to have coaching experience. If he is a veteran coach, he will definitely not put all his hopes on a player like Lin Fan who has not proven himself in Europe. The normal way is to buy a player and then introduce potential stocks like Lin Fan as a backup.
If this is the case, the Granada team should be better able to make up for the offensive organization, but they can't buy Lin Fan. It was the determination of the Granada team that allowed them to buy Lin Fan from the Guangzhou Evergrande team.
At this point, it's useless to think more. Not to mention that the winter transfer window is fast closing, and Granada don't have the budget to buy a usable midfielder.
After discussing with the coaching staff and Yan Feng, Pirlo unified the team's goal for the season to retain the fifth place in the league.
The team began to figure out how to face this reality. But it brought great pressure to Lin Fan, who was the party concerned. He needs to get on the game as soon as possible to prove his worth. His pride makes him want to prove that he is worthy of the price paid by the Granada team.
To this end, Lin Fan tried all his best.
On this day, after the training, Yan Feng looked at Lin Fan, who had not yet left the training ground, and was happy and worried in his heart.
"Stinky boy, training is over, go home. Everybody's gone. ”
"You go first. Brother Feng, I still want to practice again. Lin Fan looked up at Yan Feng, and then lowered his head to practice.
Yan Feng walked over and grabbed Lin Fan. "Let's go, it's getting dark. ”
"Brother Feng, I still want to practice. Lin Fan didn't want to leave.
"It's time to rest. You're in too much of a hurry. ”
"I want to practice. I hope I can get my chance to play soon. I don't want people to say I'm not good. ”
"Listen to me, Lin Fan. You can't do that. I know there's been a lot of talk out there lately that has been putting a lot of pressure on you. However, there is a saying that the speed of the vulgar is not reached. ”
"Professional football is all about science. Whether it's training or anything else, there are specific rules. It's not that you're in a hurry. You are in such a hurry, in my opinion, only counterproductive. "In today's training, Lin Fan is indeed very positive. However, some of them seemed to be too anxious, and he had not yet adapted to the rhythm of the team, but he made a lot of mistakes.
Lin Fan was silent, with a depressed and uncomfortable look on his face.
Seeing Lin Fan like this, Yan Feng felt a little empathetic in his heart. However, he continued: "You know, you have been playing in the Super League all season. Although the Super League is not as long as La Liga, your body is also very expensive. If you are too eager now, it will only increase your physical fatigue. If you don't get it right, you'll get hurt. ”
"I know you want to get up to speed early, but it doesn't happen overnight. In my case, it took me more than a month to keep up with the pace of the reserves. Once I got to the first team, it took me a long time to get used to it. ”
"Is that all there is to it? Then when I get used to it, maybe the season will be over." Brother Feng, I really want to play quickly. I don't want to be told I don't deserve the shirt. Lin Fan said excitedly.
"I understand. We're good brothers, how could I not understand? And I'm from here. I know it all, and I've been through it. Of course, Yan Feng understood Lin Fan's thoughts. "Lin Fan, you listen to me. What you need most now is to adjust your mindset. There is pressure to be motivated, but you can't let the pressure overwhelm you. You Brother Feng and I can be captains, you are more talented than me, are you afraid that you will not be able to stand on your feet?"
"Brother Feng, I~" Lin Fan looked at Yan Feng, a little unsure of how to say it.
"You're a genius. Don't you believe you're a genius now?" Yan Feng said with a smile.
"Of course not. ”
"That's right. Okay, now that it's dark, it's almost out of sight, how can you still practice? You can't let the whole base be lit up for you alone, right?" Yan Feng said as he looked around at the darkening sky around him. There were only two of them left on the training ground today.
"Okay. Lin Fansi looked at it and nodded.
"Huh. Let's go. Don't overthink it. Brother Feng, I'm the captain, and I'm here, are you still afraid that you won't be able to play? Don't worry, I'll help you get on the ball as soon as possible. Not to mention, you can definitely play this season. I can assure you of that. Yan Feng patted his chest, then hugged Lin Fan's shoulders and walked out.
"Hmm. Thank you, Brother Feng. ”
"Two of us, that's as it should be. ”
