Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 173 One step behind Lin Fan

The next day after bragging with Lin Fan, Yan Feng flew to Yanji with the team.In the No.19 round of the Super League, Guangzhou R&F challenged Yanbian Fude away.

Coming to Yanji again, Yan Feng felt complicated.The last time I came here to compete was when I was in the Shenzhen team of China League One last year.Recalling that the Shenzhen team at that time was at the moment of relegation, it was very difficult to draw with Yanbian Fude and get a precious point.

After a year, Yanbian Fude has gained a firm foothold in the Chinese Super League, while the Shenzhen team is still struggling in the Chinese Super League.Now, I have gained a firm foothold in R&F, thinking about the difficulty and glory between this.Yan Feng was suddenly a little thankful that he chose R&F, which seemed to have no place for him at that time.

The only thing that surprised Yan Feng was that the Guizhou Zhicheng team, which had taken a fancy to him at the beginning, is now ranked No.2 in the Chinese Premier League.Yan Feng thought to himself that if he joined in, he would definitely be able to stand at the first place in the Chinese League.Thinking of the beautiful boss of Zhicheng in Guizhou, now it seems that either side is good to choose.

After lamenting what was there and what was not, Yan Feng put his thoughts on Yanbian Fude again.Speaking of the Yanbian Fude team, Yan Feng's feelings are equally complicated.How should I put it, this team went from being relegated to miraculously staying in the Chinese Premier League and successfully reaching the Super League that season, which seems legendary.But this team always seems out of place with the Super League.

The main players and coaching staff are either Chinese Korean or South Korean. No matter how you look at it, it feels like a South Korean team mixed into the Chinese Super League.Yan Feng once heard that the Koreans in the Northeast look down on the Han players, thinking that the Han players are far inferior to them in sports.Yan Feng, who is a big Han chauvinist, was somewhat displeased with this.

No matter what Yan Feng thinks of the Yanbian Fude team, the game was held as scheduled.What makes Yan Feng more regretful about this game is that this time he has become a potential backup.Becoming a latecomer does not mean that he lost his position. On the contrary, it was Stojkovic who valued him and wanted him to take a rest.

Because after playing this game that Stojkovic didn't think was too difficult, Guangzhou R&F immediately flew to Hebei to participate in the second round of the FA Cup against China Fortune.That game is the most important in Stojvic's view, and it is related to whether Guangzhou R&F has a chance to win the FA Cup.

In recent weeks, Guangzhou R & F will have double matches a week, and the schedule is relatively intensive.In order to play better and more reasonably, Stojkovic can only choose to rest important main players.Therefore, in this game, like Yan Feng, the "ball king" Zahavi is also sitting on the bench.

It can be seen from this that Guangzhou R&F seems to pay little attention to Yanbian Fude.It's just a newly promoted Chinese Super League. With R&F's current momentum, it couldn't be easier to win.

But the reality made them applauded, and Guangzhou R&F paid a heavy price for their underestimation of the enemy.In the first half they fell behind Yanbian Fude 2:0.

For such a situation, Stojkovic was very annoyed.In desperation, he could only let Yan Feng and Zahavi, the two hottest players in the team, go up to save the field in the second half.Although they didn't pay much attention to their opponents before, this Chinese Super League game must be won for them who want to compete with Guangzhou Evergrande.

With the support of the two backbones of this offensive and defensive team, Guangzhou R&F also began to straighten its back and attack the opponent in the second half.In the end, with the joint efforts of Yan Feng and Zahavi, Guangzhou R&F successfully reversed Yanbian Fude 3:2.

For the team's comeback, Stojkovic is quite satisfied.And this also made Lao Si pay more attention to the roles of Yan Feng and Zahavi.

You know, in the first half without these two, although Guangzhou R & F had a good pass and control cooperation, they were unable to attack and defend.Throughout the first half, the rhythm of the game was always controlled by Yanbian Fude, who spared no effort to fight.After Yan Feng and Zahavi came on the field, Guangzhou R&F became stiffer and able to shoot offensively.

In the end of the game, Zahavi, who only played halftime, deserved the title of "King of the Ball" and scored two goals again.This is the first time he has scored two goals in four consecutive games after joining Guangzhou R&F.This kind of efficiency can be called terrifying, and many fans have begun to shout "goal machine".

Yan Feng, who made a late appearance in this game, also performed very well.Although he didn't score a goal, he contributed an assist to overtake his opponent in the end.Because he didn't play the whole field, Yan Feng didn't make that scary rut and run a distance of 13000 meters.However, Yan Feng's contribution in defense is obvious to all. Not only did he successfully steal the ball many times after he came on the field, the most important thing is that he used powerful killing to make Yanbian Fude's pressing oppression useless.

To sum up, Yan Feng's performance is indeed very good and reliable.The problem is that he has R&F thigh-level teammates like Zahavi, and all the limelight has been robbed.But there is no way. In a football game, the most brilliant thing is always to score goals. No matter how good the defense is, not many people will remember it.

It was nothing that Yan Feng didn't make the news this time, but what made him depressed was that that kid Lin Fan was on the sports headlines again.

In this round of competition, Guangzhou Evergrande is playing at home against BJ Guoan, who is always fighting for the first place but often only wins the second place.In this game, Lin Fan, who also came on as a substitute, stabbed his opponent to death with a free kick.

"True turtle-slaying hero!"

"A young hero, a genius born once in a century!"

"This kid is stealing the limelight again!" Yan Feng was very envious after watching the online news of this game.

And what made Yan Feng a little restless was that in this game, Lin Fan successfully broke through with the outside dial and the inside button many times, smashing Guoan's turtle-like defense line to pieces.

Yan Feng felt that he had already lost in the competition of stunts.You must know that in this game, Lin Fan played even more in the attacking midfielder position.In such a position close to the goal, Lin Fan will have more offensive performances, which will make Lin Fan even more brilliant.

Looking at himself, Yan Feng was a little depressed.Who told him that he was a defensive midfielder, and he was also a defensive midfielder with heavier defensive tasks.In such a position, Yan Feng's performance is naturally not as good as Lin Fan's.

"It seems that I am one step behind in this competition. I don't know how proud this kid is! I guess I have to show him off for a while." Yan Feng expressed helplessness about this.

as expected.That night, Lin Fan called to brag.After the call was over, Yan Feng's ears were full of Lin Fan's words, "Haha! This genius' dial-out and in-dial is amazing! My out-dial and in-dial is the best stunt. Just admit defeat!"
