Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 167 Confidence spread

Two days later, Guangzhou R&F played against Tianjin Teda at home.

Speaking of Tianjin TEDA, it is no longer the TEDA it used to be.Tianjin TEDA was able to enter the AFC Champions League that year.The current Tianjin TEDA is not as good as it is year after year, and this year it has been reduced to the point where it needs to fight for relegation.

The current Tianjin TEDA is only ranked No.13, No.4 from the bottom, and its strength is very limited.

Therefore, the general opinion of the outside world on this game is: Guangzhou R&F will definitely win Tianjin Teda by a big score at home.

It's not just the sports media who have this kind of thinking. Guangzhou R&F generally thinks so from the coaching staff to the players.

Knowing that before this round of the game, Guangzhou R&F has won 5 consecutive victories in the Super League, and has an unbeaten record of 11 games.As long as this game is won, Guangzhou R&F can surpass Jiangsu Suning to become No.2 in the standings.

Jiangsu Suning unexpectedly lost 3-0 to the newly promoted Yanbian Fude in the game this afternoon.This made Jiangsu Suning have lost two games in a row after halfway through the Chinese Super League, so they only led Guangzhou R&F by 2 points in one more game.

"We must win! Take Tianjin TEDA, surpass Jiangsu Suning, and catch up with Guangzhou Evergrande!"

This is the slogan that Guangzhou R & F shouted before the game.It's not just other R&F players who are so confident, Yan Feng also thinks so optimistically.

This is an easy game.Yan Feng felt this way before the game started.

But the fact is beyond everyone's expectation.

Because the game only started 5 minutes ago, Guangzhou R&F conceded the ball.

And in the trial, just concede a goal first?How can this be?

When the opponent scored the goal, Yan Feng still found it unbelievable.But you have to accept the fact.

It's a penalty.Wang Hao accidentally handballed while defending in the penalty area.

The reason for this is that Guangzhou R&F underestimated the enemy too much, and they didn't take Tianjin TEDA too seriously.Due to overconfidence, after the start of the game, a group of Guangzhou R & F players seemed a little careless.The consequence of this is that the mentality and energy are not concentrated enough, and a penalty kick was scored by Tianjin TEDA's seemingly innocuous attack.

In the end, it was Tianjin TEDA's No. 10 foreign aid Montero who made a copy of the knife.

"Are we falling behind at home?"

Guangzhou R & F, whether it is the coaching staff or the players, is like a blow to the head.After helplessly recognizing this fact, the people in Guangzhou R&F are still waking up from a dream.

"It seems that we have not underestimated the capital of others. In the Chinese Super League, no one is a soft persimmon at the mercy of others."

Yan Feng also recognized this fact clearly.I am still too careless. "After all, we are not Evergrande, and we don't have the capital to stand out from the crowd!"

"Everyone raise your spirits and be serious. We can't underestimate them. Now we are behind and need to attack and score goals!" Yan Feng said loudly to his teammates.

It may be that everyone is used to Yan Feng like this, and did not blame him for not being the captain but always shouting.Yan Feng is not someone who came out of professional youth training, and he doesn't have that kind of thinking about seniority.He thought that although he was not the captain, he had to do what he could to encourage him.At least that's what he's been doing since he was a kid.Therefore, when Yan Feng played for the first time in the game, he unconsciously shouted for encouragement from time to time.

Originally, it should be the captain Zhang Yaokun who shouted encouragement, but now everyone is used to Yan Feng's shouting with full fighting spirit.Whether he is behind or in the lead, Yan Feng always looks full of fighting spirit; there is also the tough performance of not flinching when encountering a strong enemy.These things have unknowingly affected R&F players.

After getting serious, Guangzhou R & F began to show the strength that can shake the top few in the Super League.After they kicked out the pass-and-control style of play, Tianjin TEDA began to find it difficult to grab the ball.The situation has gradually turned to favor Guangzhou R&F.

Five minutes later, Guangzhou R&F equalized the score.

It was still a goal from the 'ball king' Zahavi.It was Giannu who assisted him.

Of course, Yan Feng's credit is indispensable for this ball.Because this is exactly what he planned.Don't be surprised!
Because of the last game, in such an intense match with China Fortune Land Development, Yan Feng made a direct pass to assist Zahavi.Also after that successful assist, Yan Feng's passing confidence has been unprecedentedly improved.

Therefore, in this game against Tianjin Teda, Yan Feng started to ask his teammates for the ball, and then tried to launch an attack by himself when the opponent could not put too much pressure on him.With full confidence, Yan Feng's pass success rate has improved a lot.

The passing success rate of through balls has reached 50%.Before this, Yan Feng's five-legged success was not bad.In this case, Yan Feng succeeded in passing the through ball nearly 30 meters twice.Giannu got Yan Feng's direct pass and picked a pass to Zahavi in ​​the penalty area, which led to Zahavi's header.

"Haha, my passing is still pretty good! I feel that the success rate is much higher now. I am really full of feelings about passing now!"

After celebrating the goal with Zahavi and others, Yan Feng thought so in his heart.

With another success, Yan Feng is more confident.After that, he divided the ball many times, and when the game was close to 44 minutes in the first half, he successfully passed another gap.

The object of this pass was Reinaldinho, but unfortunately he failed to give Yan Feng an assist.The reason is that Renaldinho's pick-and-roll in the penalty area caused a handball by the opponent's defender.

penalty!Reinaldinho made a free throw with his own hand.

2:1, Guangzhou R&F took the lead.

"My assist!" Yan Feng was a little helpless.

After the team overtook, the R&F players began to relax again.After all, the first half of the game is almost over.

"Now that the team is leading, the game is stable."

This slack once again cost Guangzhou R&F.In stoppage time, Tianjin TEDA used a corner kick to score again.

2:2. In the first half, Guangzhou R&F even drew with Tianjin Teda at home.This exceeded many people's expectations.

This result is of course unacceptable to Stojkovic.At half-time, he threw a savage tantrum in the locker room.

After returning to the court, Guangzhou R&F's players all became aggressive.They cannot accept being robbed of a point at home by a weaker team.

So, as soon as they came up, Guangzhou R&F launched a series of onslaughts.Unfortunately, after seeing Guangzhou R&F's offensive power, Tianjin Teda
Rationally chose to hold on to one point.

Although Guangzhou R&F attacked very fiercely, and the offensive was higher than once, it is a pity that Tianjin TEDA has been struggling to break the goal under the desperate defense of the Tianjin TEDA team.

Lian Yanfeng really went up and hit two or three long-range shots. Unfortunately, the opponent had gathered most of his troops in the penalty area, so there was not much space for his long-range shots.

Guangzhou R & F has been on the offensive since the second half, but unfortunately they failed to score until they were exhausted.After 70 minutes, most of R&F's players were physically unable to support the onslaught.Both the rhythm and the offensive had to be lowered, even if Lao Si even changed two people, he couldn't get the effect.

On the contrary, after Guangzhou R&F was unable to attack, Tianjin Teda made several threatening offenses.Hu Rentian of Tianjin TEDA almost succeeded in breaking through the barrier alone in a quick counterattack from the wing.Fortunately, it was finally blocked by Cheng Yuelei's timely attack.

Although Tianjin TEDA's attack failed to score a goal, it also made Guangzhou R&F's people break out in a cold sweat.After this time, Guangzhou R&F could no longer organize a threatening attack.Even if Lao Si kept yelling loudly on the sidelines for everyone to attack, it had no effect.

It seems that this game is estimated to be a draw.

Most people think so after seeing the end of the game getting closer and closer.After 85 minutes of the game, even Olds seemed to accept this possible outcome. He sat back on the coach's bench with a face of resignation and stopped talking.

While almost everyone thought so, there was one person who didn't.This person is Yan Feng.Seeing that the time is approaching 90 minutes of the game.He still has some physical strength left and he doesn't want to give up.

"There is still time in the game and there is still the possibility of scoring goals."

Yan Feng thought so and did the same.He kept pressing hard in the midfield.His efforts finally paid off as the game approached the 89th minute after numerous fruitless pressing.

Under Yan Feng's pressure, Cao Yang, who was physically exhausted, was weak in his return pass and was snatched by Yan Feng.After grabbing the ball, Yan Feng happened to Zahavi's running position in time, and Yan Feng, who knew it well, stepped in at the right time.The ball was accurately passed to Zahavi's feet. Zahavi calmly hit the lower right corner and finally scored successfully.

"Yeah!!! It's in!!" Yan Feng clasped his hands excitedly and held on tightly.

"Yan! Good pass!" Zahavi pointed at Yan Feng excitedly, and ran over to hug him.

"Haha. Overtake!"

The teammates ran over happily and put the two of them under the ground.

"We overtook? Are we going to win?" Stojkovic couldn't believe it after scoring the goal.In this game, Tianjin TEDA's tenacity gave him a deep impression.He is not confident that he can break the opponent's goal again.Unexpectedly, when he was about to draw the game in the future, his own player would score a goal.

3:2. In the final game, Guangzhou R&F struggled to overtake Tianjin Teda at home.

The difficulty of this game reminded all Guangzhou R&F staff.They haven't had the capital to despise anyone.

As for the losing Tianjin TEDA, their tenacity almost allowed them to take away a point from R&F at home.This allowed their performance to be recognized by many people.

Yan Feng performed well and got an assist.It's a pity that his limelight was once again robbed by Zahavi who scored twice.Scoring two goals in three consecutive games, this momentum is too scary.

"King of the ball! Once out, who will fight for the front!"
