Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 190 Let's Fight

For the team, Yan Feng didn't take it very seriously.His mind is on the team that the team will face next-Guangzhou Evergrande.

See Evergrande again, and it is a very important game.Although this is the first round of the FA Cup.But this is the semi-finals, and only after passing through can they have a chance to win the championship.

For R&F, which has never won at least one trophy in China's top league.The FA Cup champion is equally attractive.Especially when the FA Cup champion can qualify for the AFC Champions League, it is even more gold-rich.

Because of the first round of the FA Cup semi-finals, R&F is very excited and attaches great importance to it.

"Defeat Evergrande and enter the final."

Even though it was Evergrande's home game this time, R&F players still shouted this slogan.

After defeating the 'Pacers' Shandong Luneng team without any surprises, R&F's morale was once again high.

"In this game, we only want to win. Even at Evergrande's home court, we only want to win." In an interview with reporters before the game, Lu Lin, the team's eldest brother, said so.

"I want to bring a championship to the team. My goal is only the final." Even Stojkovic is confident this time.

In Stojkovic's view, the current R&F is complete, and it is the time when the state and strength are the strongest this season.On the other hand, Guangzhou Evergrande has not been so fast recently.After losing to Shanghai Shenhua, Evergrande, which had played more than one round, was tied at home by Hangzhou Greentown, which is currently in the relegation zone.It can be seen that Guangzhou Evergrande is at a low ebb in the recent period and is in a very bad state.

This not only gave R&F a chance to get closer to the league points.It is also the best chance for R&F to win this FA Cup.

Because when R&F was full of confidence in this game, Guangzhou Evergrande was not so excited.This can be seen from the words of Evergrande players during the interview.

"Although the team has encountered some difficulties recently, we will still go all out in this game." Captain Zheng Zhi said so when facing the reporter's colorful flags.

"This is our home court, we will strive for victory. Even if the team is not in a good state now." This is what Goulart said.

"If I only need to play in this game, I will try my best to play well." J. Ma said.

"Our goal this season is the double crown. Although we encountered some difficulties before and the team was a little tired. But I am confident that my players will not let me down." As the head coach, Scolari is more stubborn up.

Although the coaches of both sides have expressed their determination to win.But who can win for both sides.The Internet is also noisy.

"Evergrande must have won. The overlord of the Chinese Super League cannot be defeated by a team like R&F who doesn't invest and only picks up treasures."

"It's not that R&F has never won against Evergrande. In the derby, R&F is not far behind Evergrande."

"This is what Evergrande asked my younger brother. Evergrande really exerts its strength, and R&F can't stand it."

"R&F never needs mobilization to play against Evergrande. R&F has never been afraid of any league hegemony."

"Evergrande's goal this year is to win the double championship. This time, R&F will not be allowed to compete."

"You don't need Evergrande to give way. Evergrande couldn't even win Greentown a few days ago. Do you want to compare this state with R&F, which is very good in terms of morale and state?"

"Even if the state is mediocre, with Evergrande's strength and it's still at home, they still can't win R&F. Goulart, Alan, Paulinho and Gao Linsman, how many players of the same strength can you R&F come up with?"

"R&F has the ball king in offense and Yan Feng in defense. In what way is R&F not as good as Evergrande in the current state of the team?"

"Anyway, this game must be won by Evergrande. Evergrande, who has not won enough, will let you know what is the minimum consumption of Tianhe."

"R&F will definitely win, smashing Evergrande's home court."

"Evergrande will win."

"R&F will win."

~~~~~~
On the Internet, supporters of both Evergrande and R&F are arguing fiercely.Neither side gave way to the other, and the fight almost turned into cursing in the end.

Under such circumstances, the first round of the FA Cup semi-final was held at Tianhe Stadium as scheduled.

"Evergrande must win. Evergrande must win."

Before the game started, the fans at the home court were shouting the slogan of winning.

"This is the home court, we must win the pickle force team."

"This is for sure. I believe that as long as we play seriously with the strength of our team, we will definitely win the opponent."

The game has not yet started, Evergrande fans are more confident than the players.

"R&F, R&F, the blue-blooded fighters will win." R&F's fans are indeed much less than their opponents.But they are far inferior to their opponents in numbers, and they are also full of confidence in their team.

"This game, I think we can definitely win."

"Based on Evergrande's performance during this period, we must win."

"R&F is our real local player, and we must not lose to these foreign players."

For the derby, R&F fans are even more eager to win.The happiest thing for them this year is that the team can beat Evergrande, a rival in the same city.

Perhaps also affected by these thoughts, all the R&F players on the court were very excited.

As for Evergrande, it seems that some of them are going to disappoint the home fans.They have been in a downturn recently and they don't have the determination to win like the fans.It looked like a lot of people were a little tired.Especially the main players like Goulart and Alan are not too excited.

Looking at the opponents who are warming up, it seems that the emotions are far less passionate than those of their teammates.Yan Feng thought: "It seems that Evergrande has no desire to win. Could it be that they have won too many championships? They don't care much about this game?"

However, Yan Feng soon found a guy who seemed to have a good fighting spirit among his opponents.And also an acquaintance.That's right, that person is that kid Lin Fan.

"How is it? I'm so excited, I'm going to start against me today." Yan Feng walked over to greet Lin Fan.

"Brother Feng, how can you start? It's not like you haven't heard of our coach." Lin Fan said helplessly.

"That's true. Scolari is notoriously stubborn and only plays with one formation. If it weren't for this, your team probably wouldn't be so tired during this period of time." Yan Feng thought He said.

"exactly."

"Haha, that's the case. I'm going to accept this game." Yan Feng said happily.

"Brother Feng, you're overthinking. There's me too. Although I didn't start the game, it's okay for me to play halftime. As long as I'm here, R&F won't be able to win." Lin Fan raised his eyebrows Say it with confidence.

"Haha, let's talk with our feet. By the way, I forgot to tell you, I feel better and better recently." Yan Feng said confidently.

"Really? I also want to tell you that I am younger and more talented, and my progress will scare you." Lin Fan said provocatively.

"I'll wait for you." Yan Feng smiled and pointed at Lin Fan, then turned and walked back to his teammates.

"You wait."

Warm up is over soon.After the players from both sides entered the court from the tunnel again, the game officially started not long after.

With a whistle, Zahavi kicked the ball back to Yan Feng behind.

"It's about to start. Let's fight." Yan Feng saw Paulinho running forward in the distance, and shouted in his heart.

After stopping the ball, Yan Feng did not move forward immediately, but gave the ball to his teammates again.Now that the formation has not been opened, it is not a good opportunity to attack immediately.

The formations of the two sides gradually opened up and stood up, and R&F also began to show their own characteristics of conducting the ball.Their skillful cooperation made it difficult for Evergrande's frontcourt players to touch the ball after the formation.

After a pass, R&F ushered in the first shot of the game.Zahavi received Lu Lin's pass to form a shot, but unfortunately failed to hit the goal frame.

The ball was transferred to Evergrande.They also started to attack R&F's goal.And R&F's strong interception in the midfield made every step of their advancement difficult.

After a minute or so, Evergrande finally reached the front of R&F's penalty area.But soon they fell into a quagmire.R&F invested enough defensive troops in the backcourt, and they also squeezed the formation very tightly.There is not much space, and the defense of people can be seen almost a few meters away, making Evergrande's cooperation unable to play.

After Lu Guo turned over and struggled, Alan used his personal ability to find an opportunity to shoot a long shot.Also failed to hit within the door frame.

After 1 minute, R&F completed a threatening shot by Reinaldio.

Three minutes later, Paulinho, who was plugged in by Evergrande from the back, barely kicked under the interference of Yan Feng.This time the shot was also not threatening.

"Zahavi's bottom shot unfortunately missed the post."

"Gao Lin's header was confiscated by the goalkeeper."

"Xiao Zhi's header was pushed out of the baseline by Zeng Cheng."

"Yan Feng's header hit the post."

"R&F successfully closed the frontcourt and counterattacked. Fang Mei fouled. A free kick in a good position, but Zahavi missed it."

"Golat received Gao Lin's goal and hit the goal, which was blocked."

"R&F's Opportunity ```"

"Alan has a chance```"

~~~~~~
Both sides played very open games.From time to time, you can stage a shot, or a wonderful cooperation.This made the fans on the scene feel excited.

Soon the first half ended unknowingly in the killing of both sides.Although the first half was full of excitement and intensity, it is a pity that neither side could turn the chance of shooting into a goal.

At the end of the first half, R&F players walked back to the locker room full of confidence.But there are many Evergrande players who are expressionless.The reason for this is that the expressions of the players on both sides are very different.Because the people of Evergrande felt a little bad.

Although the two sides played in a tie in the first half, in fact, if you observe carefully, you will find that Evergrande is at a disadvantage.

For this situation, Scolari is also very clear.But looking at the main players, looking tired, he couldn't say anything about the players.He was a little worried that it would be difficult to win this city rival in this game.It is even possible to be scored first by the opponent.

Not long after the start of the second half, Scolari's worries came true.

Only 5 minutes into the second half, Renaldinho got rid of Mei Fang's defense in the penalty area and succeeded in shooting.

0:1, Evergrande fell behind at home.

And this conceded goal also made Scolari make up his mind to make personnel adjustments.He replaced it with Lin Fan, and Liao Lisheng, who didn't perform very well.

"You're finally here. The show is about to begin." Yan Feng thought as he watched Lin Fan excitedly running onto the stage.In the previous games, due to the overall downturn of Evergrande, Yan Feng, who was preparing for a hard fight, was a little disappointed.This time even Paulinho, who has always been very fierce, is not as good as when he played against each other last time.Yan Feng, who felt that he had lost his challenge, was provoked to fight again after watching Lin Fan play.

Not to mention, after replacing Lin Fan who is more energetic and fighting spirit, Evergrande's offense and defense became more active.Lin Fan, who is faster and has the same skills as Lisheng and stronger defense, has a good understanding with Paulinho after playing.With Lin Fan's support, Paulinho's threat began to multiply.Driven by these two people, Evergrande's offensive power began to show.

In this way, R&F's defensive pressure is much greater.Especially Yan Feng, who bears the brunt, feels this way.It turned out that he could stand up to Paulinho, but it would be difficult to add Lin Fan.

Moreover, after several months of fighting again, Yan Feng found that Lin Fan's strength was much stronger.

"This kid is getting more and more difficult."

It is still terrifying to be activated by the Evergrande attack group.Yan Feng could barely keep a close eye on Paulinho, but he could only watch Lin Fan, Goulart and others keep attacking his teammates.Let's go to defend, Paulinho has another chance.

Under Evergrande's strong attack, R&F's defense line, which was difficult to defend, still couldn't carry it.It was equalized by Lin Fan's tricky long shot from outside the penalty area.

1:1, the two sides returned to the same starting line.

"No, I can't be compared by this kid. I have to work hard too." Looking at Lin Fan who was happily celebrating, Yan Feng also had the desire to attack.

R&F was of course unwilling to be equalized, and began to strengthen the offensive.And after Yan Feng began to frequently go up to strengthen the offense, Evergrande's defense also came under increasing defensive pressure.

In the 55th minute, Yan Feng took Paulinho from outside the penalty area and took a long shot, but failed to score.

A few minutes later, it was Lin Fan who returned a long shot.

Seeing this, Yan Feng, not to be outdone, once again took advantage of the opportunity of going up and got a long-range shot.However, this time he got the chance to get rid of Lin Fan.

Although he didn't make it this time, after Lin Fan marveled that Yan Feng was still so fierce, he also wanted to compare who was stronger.

"It's Lin Fan again, and his shot almost broke R&F's goal again."

"Yan Feng's explosive shot almost made Zeng Cheng let go."

Before they knew it, the two had had several long-range shooting competitions.Lin Fan's shot was tricky, and Yan Feng's shot was explosive.Two different shooting styles, each with its own threat.This made it very enjoyable for everyone to watch.Everyone also seemed to see the contest between the two, so the fans began to cheer for the supporters loudly.

"Lin Fan, enter one more."

"Yan Feng, shoot them."

Affected by this, the fighting spirit of the two has skyrocketed.There is a tendency to steal the limelight from their respective core teammates.

"Brother Feng, I've made one. I'll make it again. I want to win you." During a confrontation between the two, Lin Fan said.

"I will score goals too. In this game, we have a better chance of winning. We will definitely take away the victory." Yan Feng replied with high spirits.

"Really, let's fight!" "Come on!"
