Chapter Seventy-Four: Strength Equalised

"Attention gives me a little focus. Look at their attacking players, the midfield news gives me more interceptions and don't let them organize easily. ”

"Take a good look at your opponent and don't let me see a situation like this happen again. "Sevilla's head coach Bald Sampaoli was very unhappy with the performance of the players on the pitch in two or three minutes. He stood on the sidelines and shouted at the players on the field.

When the team was ahead before, Sampaoli had a winning face in his hands. But this will be money, after seeing the Granada team two very threatening attacks in a row, he can't sit still. I don't know why, but the scene of the first meeting in this arena kept coming to his mind right now. In that encounter, Sevilla FC were beaten at home by Granada. Now he had that similar concern in his mind.

After Sampaoli finished shouting, he turned around and walked back to the coach's seat and sat down. But as soon as he sat down, he immediately stood up, and then walked to the sideline again. After coming to the sidelines, Sampaoli made a trumpet shape with one hand and kept waving at the backcourt with the other. "Retreat. Switch to a counter-attacking strategy and keep the tempo down. ”

Sevilla's players were stunned at first when they saw the instructions of head coach Sampaoli, but quickly accepted such a tactical arrangement. The attacking players in front of them are also gradually retreating.

The vast majority of Sevilla's players are not abetting the manager's request for a change of tactics. Still, one of them wasn't very happy about it. This person is No. 10 Nasri, who has only been on the field for less than ten minutes.

Nasri was also the heart of Sevilla's attack last season. When the Granada team played against Sevilla last season, he and Yan Feng became direct opponents on the field. In that game, Yan Feng shined, and Nasri became Yan Feng's background board. After that, for various reasons, he was a little depressed in the Sevilla team.

In the first meeting of the season, Nasri did not get a chance to play. It was hard to get on the pitch today, and with the team in the lead, he was determined to put in a good performance. even took this opportunity to compare Yan Feng to revenge the last defeat. Now suddenly the team is going to change to defense, Nasri is so depressed.

Nasri reluctantly and dejectedly stepped back, but Sampaoli, who was not far away from the sidelines, shouted to him. "Nasri. ”

Nasri looked at Sampaoli when he heard this, and the unhappy expression on his face did not put away.

"Be active in defense. Don't rush to attack when you have a chance, but control it well, do you hear me?"

"Hmm. Nasri snorted and turned his head away. But when he turned around, his face darkened even more.

Soon, Sevilla's goal kick was taken. This time goalkeeper Rico didn't pick a big kick and instead sent a low pass to the defender. The defenders also followed the instructions of head coach Sampaoli and dominated the ball at the back. There is no rush to attack forward.

Seeing this situation, the Granada team, which was lagging behind, of course, pressed in front.

First, Sundell ran up and forced the defender to pass the ball. Aslan and Andreas Pereira on both flanks pressed on the ball carrier, forcing Sevilla defenders to kick the ball away from the back zone.

And just when the full-back kicked the ball to midfielder Enzozi, Lin Fan suddenly pounced at full speed. As soon as Enzozzi finished taking the ball and was about to turn around, Lin Fan had already posted it. This startled Enzozi, he didn't expect Lin Fan to come up so quickly and almost lose the football.

Under the pressure of Lin Fan, for the sake of conservatism, Enzozi did not dare to try to get rid of Lin Fan, but hurriedly poked the ball towards his teammate Ibola, who came to pick up.

Although Ibola came to pick up Enzozi, he panicked when he saw that Enzozi really kicked the ball at him. Because Yan Feng was approaching him quickly.

Ibola saw that Yan Feng's speed was too fast, and if he couldn't do it, the ball would be taken off his feet. He hurriedly ran towards the football, and then chose to kick the ball forward without looking at it for the first time.

Just when Ibola just played football, Yan Feng's feet also came to him. And this time Ibola didn't want to pass the ball, he just wanted to kick the ball forward. Essentially, it's not much different from a breakout.

At this point, it can be said that the Granada team's forward press was successful. It's a pity that Yan Feng's foot that stretched out to block the ball really touched the football, but unfortunately the force was too great. The ball slammed off the sideline after touching his foot.

"Dizzy. After Yan Feng saw the football flying out of the sideline, he was speechless. It seems that this time he has to blame him for being too fast. If he is slower and doesn't touch the ball, with the force of the ball, he will only fly to his own side's backcourt and easily win it for his teammates.

Sevilla FC continued to dominate possession. But although the pressing was unsuccessful this time, it brought a lot of psychological pressure to their players. Therefore, after re-serving, they are more careful with their feet.

Naturally, the Granada team continued to press with all their might. Speaking of which, in fact, Lin Fan's defensive ability is better than that of Samper, who was originally in the same position. Coupled with his faster speed, he will be more aggressive when pressing up front. With Costa returning to the position of the midfielder, Yan Feng, who has resumed his free man play, also actively joined the ranks of pressing. In this case, the Granada team's high-pressure pressing in front of the team is very scary.

To say before, the Sevilla team was automatically strengthening the defense. When it came, they had to strengthen their defense. Although they had the heart to control the tempo, they were a little embarrassed under the pressure of the Granada team. The more oppressed you are, the more you will inevitably make mistakes. Granada seized the opportunity and tried to hit the goal, but unfortunately there was no goal.

The situation on the field is becoming more and more favorable to the Granada team playing at home, and the fans at home are naturally cheering and cheering harder.

For the first time since this game, Granada had the upper hand. It seems that it is only a matter of time before a goal is scored. Even the Sevilla players themselves felt that it was too difficult to hold on until the end of the game.

Nasri, who felt that his side was at a disadvantage and thought that he might not be able to hold it if he defended it any longer, felt that the Sevilla team should not shrink and should strengthen its attack. At this time, he was extremely dissatisfied with the way head coach Sampaoli gave up the initiative.

Nasri felt that he was wearing the number 10 and needed to lead by example as the number 10 core. He decided to take the initiative to ask for the ball and it was up to him to attack.

After the restart, Nasri was quick to ask for the ball like his team-mate. Feeling the great pressure brought by the Grasunda team's pressing, his teammates naturally kicked the ball to Nasri quickly.

"Nasri, keep the ball. Settle down and don't concede the ball easily. Sampaoli reminded loudly from the sidelines.

Nasri simply listened to Sampaoli at this point, and he began to move forward with the ball.

Lin Fan rushed over, trying to put pressure on Nasri. Instead of passing the ball to his teammates as quickly as one of them, Nasri made the action of smashing the ball past Lin Fan. Lin Fan didn't expect Nasri to be like this, and he let Nasri pass it for a while.

After Nasri passed Lin Fan, his confidence soared, and all the thoughts in his mind became to continue to attack and clash as fast as he could. You might be able to defeat your opponent with your own strength. If he had scored one more goal, he would have been the biggest contributor to the game. You can also use this to return to the main formation.

Nasri passed Lin Fan and continued to run forward, which was also beyond Yan Feng's expectations. However, after Yan Feng was stunned for a moment, he immediately greeted Nasri.

Yan Feng greeted him, Nasri was originally looking for a teammate to answer, but when he looked up and saw that it was Yan Feng, the idea of passing the person in front of him suddenly floated in his mind. And as soon as this idea appeared, it was so strong that he did not want to think about anything else.

Nasri took advantage of Lin Fan's excitement and was determined to pass Yan Feng as well. Anyway, one Chinese has already passed, and another Chinese is nothing. And the latter Chinese still fought their opponents before, so they should take advantage of this to step over.

Nasri began to use the methods he was better at. Continuous redirection smashing.

As soon as he changed direction, Yan Feng stopped and crossed, and when he changed direction, Yan Feng changed direction and moved sideways again, and when he changed direction again, Nasri took another kick and then prepared to rush forward.

Yan Feng gritted his teeth to save his body, then turned sideways and started with all his might. Due to Nasri's three consecutive changes of direction, Yan Feng had to slow down by half a beat. Fortunately, his explosive power defeated Nasri, and after two or three steps, Yan Feng caught up with Nasri and stuck to the latter with his body.

Seeing that he was being overtaken, Nasri first used his body to carry it, and then prepared to protect the ball. But at this time, Yan Feng used his strength violently and squeezed Nasri away by half a step.

Yan Feng took advantage of this to occupy a favorable position, and Nasri was unwilling to exert his strength to carry it back. Yan Feng broke out with all his strength again, not only carrying Nasri, but also taking advantage of this position to succeed. Next, after continuing to fight with his body a few times, Yan Feng successfully broke the ball. Next, he quickly poked the ball to Longban, who came to pick it up.

"Nope. Nasri let out an unwilling cry and threw himself at Lumban.

"Lombana. Yan Feng took the opportunity to turn around and run forward, and shouted loudly to Longban.

Longban willingly kicked the ball towards Yan Feng. At this moment, Nasri, who was rushing towards Lumban, let out a wail that was even worse than before.

Yan Feng ignored the others, and immediately accelerated forward after receiving the ball. Soon he met Recoa, who had come to intercept him. Yan Feng directly distributed the ball to Costa on the other side, and then continued to move forward.

After Costa on the other side got the ball, he directly made a long distance to Aslan. And Aslan, because he had an opponent following, did not try to hit the bottom line by himself, but directly knocked on the side. kicked the ball to Lin Fan, who was kicking to the front court with all his might.

After Lin Fan took the ball and turned around, he passed the ball to Sundel, who was running back with his back. After Sandel ran close to the ball, he hit it directly, and the ball made a 90-degree refraction.

"Good. Yan Feng just happened to arrive at the horse. Yan Feng took advantage of the situation, but immediately encountered the defender who came to the defense. Yan Feng also didn't go it alone this time, but stuffed it to the side and let Pereira go to the bottom.

After more than a year of cooperation, the tacit understanding between Pereira and Yan Feng is still okay. Pereira, who had been prepared for a long time, made a successful bottom.

Pereira made a successful bottom, first made a fake cross, and then turned it into a return pass to the edge of the box. This was the inverted triangle tactic that Granada had used before.

For the inverted triangle tactics of the Granada team, the Sevilla team also studied it before the game. For most of the time before this game, Yan Feng was unable to go all out, and was blocked by the targeted arrangement of the Sevilla team.

Now Yan Feng can step forward without worries, and he sprints with all his might. Even if the opponent knows it, there is no way to keep up.

Yan Feng used his speed to shake off Ibola, who was following the defense, and came to the front of the penalty area before the Sevilla defenders could fill in.

At this time, the ball passed back by Pereira just rolled to him, and Yan Feng did not hesitate at all, and pulled his leg on the ball.

"Bang. There was a loud bang, and the ball slammed into the goal with a whistling sound that only nearby players could hear.

"Ahh "Goalkeeper Rico, who has been waiting for him, is swooping hard.

But Yan Feng's strength was too great, and the angle of this shot was still quite awkward. Rico's sideways body was still in the air when the ball flew past his finger and into the goal.

"Wow!goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" As soon as Rico's body fell to the ground, the entire stadium instantly erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

"Wow!!" Yan Feng opened his hands excitedly and ran wildly against the wind. This excitement and joy is the rare one he has had in recent months.

Yan Feng was so happy, when he ran to the sidelines, he directly fell to the ground and glided close to the ground. When he was done, he stood up and looked up into the stands and yelled. "Ah!!h

"Strict, strict, strict''''''" The fans in the stands shouted Yan Feng's name in unison.

"Haha, well done, Yan. ”

Pereira, Sandel and others also rushed over to celebrate together. You must know that in recent months, the Granada team has been behind, facing opponents who have retreated, and very few have been able to break through the goal. Although it was not for nothing that they broke through the opponent's goal, but this time the goal showed them the familiar attacking rhythm of the team. That's what excites them.

After everyone finished celebrating, Yan Feng gave Lin Fan a deep hug again. Although he can score, it was Pereira who assisted. But he knew very well in his heart that if Lin Fan did not play a role to liberate himself, it would be very difficult for him to score goals. It's been a long time since he's felt a goal like this.

"Cool! This feeling is so cool!" Yan Feng said excitedly after hugging.

"Hehe, this is a must. We brothers shoot together, and no one wants to shadow us. Even if Barcelona comes, we can score against them as well. Lin Fan said confidently.

"Haha. I think so too. I've scored. Next, it's up to you to score the goal that leads the way. Celebrate your league debut with a win. Yan Feng said with a smile. If it was before, he didn't have the confidence to say so. Now, he doesn't think it's hard to win.

"Let's wait and see!" Lin Fan's eyes lit up, turned his head to look at the goal of the Sevilla team, and then said confidently with a fist.

"Come on, let's make a comeback. ”
