Chapter 30: Self-Adjustment
In fact, Yan Feng had such an idea after the last game against Levante. After the analysis report of columnist Hughes came out www.biquge.info Yan Feng thought about what changes he needed to make. Now, the restrictions he faced in the face of Valencia's defense made Yan Feng decide to make a change from now on.
How to self-adjust and self-change, Yan Feng does not have a clear direction. He'll need to try something in the next games.
"Guys, don't worry. Take your time, that's how the opportunity comes out. Since Yan Feng's forward attack was successfully converted into a goal, Alcaraz was not dissatisfied. It's just that he still shouted at the field.
Alcaraz's words were a bit ambiguous, that is, it was possible that Yan Feng's attack was too impatient, or it was possible that he was saying that he could try like this.
In Kosta's ears, it was the head coach who preferred to keep the offensive tactics in which he was involved. This led him to decide to take responsibility for initiating the attack the next time the team had the ball.
Sure enough, two minutes later, when Granada won the ball again, he ran forward first and beckoned his teammates to join him.
Originally, Yan Feng did have the heart to step forward again, but seeing that Costa had already taken the lead, he could only stay and fill the position.
The attack launched by Costa was really different from the one launched by Yan Feng. Unlike Yan Feng's preference for simple and fast, Costa uses constant short passes with his teammates to move forward. And it's him who takes the lead to cooperate with different teammates, and then feeds the machine with a threatening close pass.
Costa's style is actually a bit like Xavi, but the timing and accuracy of his shots are not so good.
However, the transmission and control cooperation brought by this looks quite ornamental. The hosts who were commenting on the game all sighed: "Costa still looks like a little bit of Harvey." His arrival has really greatly improved Granada's transmission and control skills. ”
It's not surprising that there would be such an idea. It's not that Costa is really strong, it's that Granada has always been a technically poor team. If it weren't for the loan of Samper and Pereira, two technical players, the whole would be the famous roughness of La Liga.
And this situation, after Yan Feng's arrival, still hasn't changed much. Because Yan Feng was called Brother Rough when he played in China, he didn't have too many times.
Yan Feng's personality determines that he likes to be simple and fast, and every attack is strived to be complete with the fastest speed and strongest strength. Such a style is naturally incompatible with the technical flow that is regarded as beautiful football.
Granada's attack looked patient, and after a number of back-and-forth passes, Costa struck a through ball forward. It's a pity that under the guidance of the defenders, Sandel was able to successfully form a goal-scoring opportunity. He couldn't even hold the ball under the attack of two defenders.
This attack failed.
"It would be nice to have a faster striker, like Neymar. "I didn't have a chance with this pass. Costa felt that his teammates were not good enough.
"If I had come with this ball, I would have barely been able to get a chance. Yan Feng looked at this attack like this. He felt that Costa wanted too much to pass a decisive chance with one kick. It's too hard. To be able to pass such a ball, which is a master midfielder. What's more, Sandel is not the kind of striker who is known for his speed.
At the same time, Yan Feng felt that Costa was too slow. It's not that Costa is too slow, his pace is average. Costa's slow advance is too slow. His many touches and passes meant that Valencia had plenty of time to build up a well-developed defensive system. In the face of a perfect defense, it is difficult for a passing team like Rao is Barcelona to start.
Although he has such an opinion, after all, this is a tactic arranged by the coach, and he can't say anything. Of course, time does not allow him to say anything or think too much. Soon, he threw himself into defense.
Although Alcaraz pressed Yan Feng in the back, wasting Yan Feng's running ability and attacking power, it ensured the defensive thickness of the Granada team. With Yan Feng's full sitting, even if Valencia has a wide player like Nani and plays on the wing, it is still difficult to break through the goal of the Granada team.
After several defensive efforts, the Granada team finally defended against the Valencia team's offensive again.
"Give it to me. Yan Feng took the lead in asking Ochoa, who had just confiscated the ball.
As soon as Ochoa heard this, he immediately gave the ball to Yan Feng. No matter how you say it, Yan Feng is the captain of the team, and in the past, it was common for Yan Feng to ask him for the ball and attack from it.
"Give~" Costa originally wanted the ball, but unfortunately he was a step too slow.
After Yan Feng got the ball, Costa immediately ran forward, and the intention of stepping forward to participate in the attack was very obvious.
The Granada team is still in the usual 4231 formation today, with one of the two midfielders stepping forward and the other staying to fill the gap. Now that Costa moved forward first, Yan Feng could only stay.
Yan Feng passed the ball forward to Samper, although he had the heart to rush up and cooperate with Samper, but he was needed defensively. In this way, in this offensive, Yan Feng could only watch his teammates use frequent passes to try to find opportunities.
Unfortunately, the Valencia team, playing at home, defended well. In the end, it was Aslan who cut inside on the left and chose to shoot from distance, but the ball was deflected wide of the goal.
After all, a long-range shot is a long-range shot, and in football, the closer you are to the goal, the easier it is to score. Rao is Messi, who is comparable to the king of the ball, and most of the goals are also scored in the penalty area.
Not everyone has such a terrifying door-striking power as Yan Feng. With Yan Feng's goalscoring power, the long-range shot can have a relatively high goal rate like a goal in the penalty area.
"Good, good fit. Keep working hard, and the opportunities will definitely be more and better. Alcaraz on the sidelines clapped and shouted at the field after the players on the pitch had finished attacking.
In Alcaraz's view, although such offensive tactics have been practiced before the season, there are very few games in which they are actually implemented. Now that's the main thing, and if you want to attack right at one time, it's too demanding.
The game continued, and because Costa made up his mind to actively step forward to participate in the attack, Yan Feng rarely had the opportunity to step forward and attack. Throughout the first half, Granada's attack was basically like that. Look for opportunities in the patient guide and finish the shot when there are no too good chances. In the end, he couldn't score.
Rather, Valencia's defensive counter-attacking tactics were also very successful, and there were often opportunities to counter-attack. Although he was able to threaten from time to time, he also failed to score.
0:0, the first half ended like this when the game was clear, offensive and defensive, but not fierce enough and the pace was not too fast.
Back in the dressing room, Alcaraz looked nothing unsatisfied.
"Boys, you executed the tactics that the coaching staff had in place in the first half. We didn't score, but chances were created. ”
"Of course, because this way of playing is something that we have only started to play in the new season, we haven't been able to fully exert its power. ”
"I believe that in time, we will be able to show even more power. We're playing a style of play like Barcelona, and I think everyone knows about Barca's success. ”
'In the second half, we will continue to play like this. It's just that everyone is more patient, and at the same time, we have to stay focused, and try to grasp the opportunity whenever it comes out. ”
Alcaraz was assessing his team's performance in the first half, but he was also cheering up his players.
'Costa, good in the first half. It's just like that, but when you come up in the second half and get involved in the attack, you split the ball more between the two sides. If you have the chance, you can try to shoot from a distance. Alcaraz then coached Costa. This caused Costa to smile happily and smugly.
After finishing speaking, Alcaraz saw Yan Feng, who was a little silent. He felt that Yan Feng didn't follow in the locker room today to boost morale as before. He thought about it for a moment and felt that Yan Feng might have an idea in his heart. After all, with the current style of play, Yan Feng's tactical status has dropped a lot.
So, Alcaraz decided he wanted to say something.
"Here, I would like to pay special tribute to our captain Yan. His solid defence and positive attitude are a guarantee for us at the back. I hope that under the leadership of Yan, everyone can play more actively in the next time. ”
"Hmm. The player nodded.
After Yan Feng heard this, he didn't say anything. I'm in a better mood. However, he didn't pay much attention to it, because he was thinking more about himself at this time. He was thinking about what changes he needed to make to better fit into the current tactical system.
To be honest, relying on the current organized attack of Costa and Samper and others, Yan Feng felt that it was not enough. As long as you come up against a team that uses counter-attacking tactics, with the current capacity of the Granada team, it will be difficult to create too many chances.
But if you change to the way you play, it's too limited. He had already tried it before, and after being targeted by his opponent, it was not easy for him to get the opportunity as easily as before.
Yan Feng felt that it was not that the inverted triangle tactic would be abandoned in the future, but that he needed to change the current simple and crude way of dealing with it. Maybe it would be more effective to add some transfer, or to hand over the final handling of the ball to a teammate.
By the time Yan Feng thought of this, the time for halftime had almost passed. Encouraged by Alcaraz's turn, the crowd returned to the pitch.
The second half began quickly. Neither side made any changes at half-time. It seems that the coaches of both sides have confidence and expectation for the current situation.
Sure enough, after the restart, the general situation on the field was similar to that of the first half.
Granada, for their part, are hoping that the new style of play will create more chances. And the Valencia team felt that the counterattack effect in the first half was still good and did not need to change much. Just increase the intensity of the counterattack.
After playing for about ten minutes, Yan Feng felt that the threat of the Valencia team had improved a lot after the second half. Granada, on the other hand, still haven't created too many quality chances.
If this continues, it's hard to say who will end up scoring and winning the game. On the contrary, a draw is very likely.
A draw, for Valencia, is still acceptable. Although they are playing at home, it is still a good point against Granada, who are still third in the league and have been in the limelight lately.
A draw, no less acceptable for Granada, or at least Alcaraz. In his opinion, with the current situation that the Granada team is difficult to organize, the pursuit of victory is too demanding.
But for Yan Feng, a draw was unacceptable. No matter what opponent he faces, he feels like he has to go for the win. The stronger the team, the more rewarding it will be. And defeating ordinary opponents is a must if you want to do more in the new season.
And if you want to win, you must change from now on.
So, when the Granada team had the ball again, Yan Feng asked for the ball again.
This time Costa did what he did again in the first half and wanted to move forward. However, after Yan Feng gave him the ball, he rushed forward with his legs.
After Costa took the ball, after taking a few steps forward, he heard Yan Feng's shout.
"Costa, give it to me. ”
Hearing this, Costa turned his head and saw that Yan Feng was already parallel to him. Then, soon Yan Feng overtook his position.
Costa ignored it, but immediately encountered an interception by the opponent, and Yan Feng happened to run behind Valencia midfielder De Paul and asked for the ball again. So, Costa had no choice but to pass the ball to Yan Feng.
After Yan Feng got the ball, he also immediately encountered the defenders. Yan Feng did not choose to risk passing, but passed the ball diagonally to Samper, who was receiving in front. After the ball left his feet, Yan Feng rushed forward with all his strength, past the opponent who had just been in front of him.
Samper didn't pass it back to Yan Feng, but passed it to Sundel, who was back to the front point.
Sundell did his best to carry the defender behind him with his back and then move forward to receive the ball. And he didn't stop the football there, but didn't look at it, just knocked it to the side
Samper didn't pass it back to Yan Feng, but passed it to Sundel, who was back to the front point.
