Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 269 Moving On
New Years in Spain has passed quickly.And it's just like that, it's not like the lively days like the first and second day of the first lunar month in China.During the period, Yan Feng of course congratulated his relatives and friends in the country a lot, like Lin Fan, the emperor, and godmother Liu Meng, all of whom have passed on one by one.

After New Year's Eve, the next day, Yan Feng was thrown into the team's training again.

Granada's opponent in this round is currently ranked 11th Las Palmas.The Las Palmas team has a relatively balanced offense and defense. The team's top scorer is No. 7 attacking midfielder Kevin Boateng.

Overall, Las Palmas is stronger than Granada on both offense and defense.However, this time it is the Granada team at home, so Alcaraz has set the goal of keeping a tie and winning.

Keeping the balance?Seeing this, it is estimated that many domestic fans will want to roll their eyes.Anyone who is familiar with the national football team knows that once such a slogan or goal appears, it often means that frustrating things are about to happen.

Of course, the Granada team is not a national football team. The goal proposed by coach Alcaraz is very in line with the current reality of their team.

In fact, this goal can be regarded as relatively optimistic.If it weren't for the recent two away draws with Espanyol and Villarreal, two relatively high-ranked teams, this gave Alcaraz a lot of confidence, otherwise he would only dare to say that he was sticking to it. Not losing points at home.

You know, the Granada team before Alcaraz took over had the worst defense in La Liga and the most conceded goals, and the worst offensive power.And since Yan Feng was transferred back to the first team and gradually kept up with the team's rhythm, Alcaraz suddenly found that the Granada team hardly conceded goals in recent games.This not only shows his coaching ability, but also shows that the team's defense has improved.

Comparing the past and the present, Alcaraz, who is like a human being, can easily discover the value of Yan Feng in it.Before he knew it, Yan Feng had quietly become Alcaraz's defense general.

Therefore, in the match against Las Palmas, Yan Feng was entrusted with the most important task by Alcaraz.That is to guard against Kevin Boateng.

Therefore, during the training, Yan Feng was even placed in the back position by Alcaraz.That's right, a defender.This position is very unfamiliar to Yan Feng.This is a position that considers the sense of position and experience very much.

This is mainly because the Las Palmas team likes to play a 433-433-15 formation, and Kevin Boateng is often used by the center forward.In the last round, the Las Palmas team defeated Valencia, which is currently ranked [-]th, by virtue of the [-] formation and Kevin Boateng's goal.

After Alcaraz's research, he believes that this time, the Las Palmas team will definitely have a similar lineup.

Originally, Kevin Boateng was used as a striker, so it would be nice for the defenders to deal with it.But helplessly, Kevin Boateng is a player who combines technique and speed very well, and is very physically strong.With a height of 186cm, a weight of 83KG, and a high speed, it is simply a heavy armored vehicle.

In terms of physical confrontation, the two central defenders, Longban and Ingarsen, can handle it.But their speed can't keep up.The speed can keep up, but it's useless if the body is too heavy.

It was in desperation that Alcaraz decided to use Yan Feng as a defender.But facing Yan Feng, who had never played as a defender before, he finally arranged for Yan Feng to play a free man, also known as a scavenger.

"Scavenger? This is very suitable for me. I used to like to clean up all the garbage I saw." Yan Feng smiled happily when he heard that he was going to be a scavenger.

Of course, all this is just a preview of Alcaraz.If at that time, Kevin Boateng plays the original midfielder instead, then Yan Feng can just play his old midfielder.

Facts have proved that through thorough research, the predictions obtained often do not deviate much.

A few days later, at the home court of the Granada team, Las Palmas team formed a 433 formation, and Kevin Boateng also stood in the middle and front position.

As a result, Yan Feng was one of the five guards that the Granada team put up.

Granada's defensive formation of 541 is not surprising.What is unexpected is that Yan Feng also stood in the position of central defender.This was not only beyond the expectations of the Las Palmas team, but even the fans at home were also surprised.

"Am I not mistaken? Yan played as a defender today?"

"Didn't the information say that Yan is a pure midfielder? Have you ever seen him play as a defender? Can this work?"

Not to mention that the fans of the Granada team who came to watch the game couldn't understand Yan Feng playing as a defender, even the people in China who had been paying attention to Yan Feng were also a little confused.

"Uh, what's the matter? Did Yan Feng stand in the wrong position? When did he play as a defender?"

"Let Yan Feng play as a defender, not to mention playing an unfamiliar position, but also against Boateng, who is in hot form recently! Is this Alcaraz crazy?"

"I'm copying. Could it be that I want Yan Feng to take the blame? It's like letting Zheng Zhi play as a defender in the top 12 of the national football team last year."

"It's over, it's over! 'King Yan' is set on his back today!"

And Yan Feng did not think so much, all he thought about was how to fulfill the tasks assigned by the head coach.He was really uncomfortable at first.But after playing for about ten minutes, Yan Feng found that the position of scavenger is quite easy to play.

What is a scavenger?Isn't it just plugging leaks and removing any threats?It takes speed and physicality and a decisive and brutal handling style.Isn't this what Yan Feng himself has?
Therefore, in the next game, Yan Feng, who became more and more adaptable to the game, became more and more active.From time to time, he appeared like lightning behind unstoppable players to clean up the opponent's offense.For a moment, it felt like Yan Feng was behind the entire back line of the Granada team.This caused a headache for the Las Palmas striker, who was struggling to attack.

Kevin Boateng is even more anxious to be the core of Las Palmas' frontcourt trident.He was confident in his strengths, and it was.Whether he was facing Longban or Ingarsen, he used his speed and technique to get rid of them.But often after he got rid of it, when he was about to hit the goal, an Asian who suddenly appeared like a ghost would stab his ball away first.It all made him mad with depression.

Boateng said that as long as he has the opportunity to face him directly, he must teach that guy who seems to be Chinese a lesson.But when he really had the opportunity to confront Yan Feng directly, he realized that he was wrong.

Although Yan Feng is a little behind him in height and weight, his confrontation ability is not inferior to the tough guards such as Longban, and the sudden burst of strength is even stronger.In this way, Kevin Boateng's strength advantage will be gone.

The strength advantage is gone, it doesn't matter, doesn't he still have speed?But when it comes to speed, Kevin Boateng's heart is even more broken.

"Who is this guy? Where did he come from? How come his strength is not inferior to mine, but his speed is astonishingly fast? This is really terrible!"

In fact, what Yan Feng is most unwilling to face are those guys who are as slippery as mud shovels and as clever and quick as monkeys.Defending that kind of player is too strenuous and exhausting.

It is too difficult for others to defend a player with body and speed like Kevin Boateng.But for Yan Feng, who is equally powerful and fast, and even faster, unless the opponent has Bell's speed, he can defend you so that you lose your temper.

Speaking of Bell, Yan Feng is of course very eager to compete with the Great Sage.He wanted to know whether it was Bell who was faster or himself who was faster.It's a pity that when he arrived at the Bernabeu this time, Bell was recuperating from his injuries.

Back to this game.After confronting Yan Feng face to face, Kevin Boateng decided to find someone else.Facing Longban and the others, at least he could use his speed and technique to come out from an angle and hit the goal.Although it is often destroyed by the guy who appeared in time behind, at least as long as the kick is fast enough, it can still be hit, right?

In other words, the formation put out by Alcaraz today is still very targeted, and the attack of the Las Palmas team is directly plunged into the quagmire of the sea of ​​​​people.Coupled with the fact that Yan Feng, a guy with body, speed and stamina, is playing tricks on the back line, this makes it difficult for Las Palmas' offense to play out.

In the first half, although the Las Palmas team also had a few kicks, the threat to the Granada team's goal was not much.

So the first half ended in hand-to-hand combat and entanglement.More than intense but not exciting enough.But this is enough for fans who support Granada and Yan Feng.As a fan of a relegation team, you are not qualified to ask for beautiful football.

And that was still the case in the second half.Even Las Palmas head coach Herrera made various morale adjustments and tactical arrangements during the halftime break.But back on the court, facing the quagmire of the Granada team, everything returned to the most primitive hand-to-hand combat.

The Las Palmas team has a balanced offense and defense, but it is only a medium offense and a medium defense.Facing the defense of the Granada team at home, they really couldn't find a better way to score.

Time is passing by every minute and every second, but the Las Palmas team has been unable to find a better way to score, which can only make their confidence and morale continue to lose.

As the game progressed, everyone thought that this game would be another dull draw.For this, the home fans are of course acceptable, but the Las Palmas team is a little depressed.Unable to win the relegation team, which team will they go to get points?
Herrera, who was not reconciled to this, of course made personnel adjustments again and again, but the general situation was such that it was impossible to change the stalemate and dull situation on the court.

Just as Herrera was looking to score, something changed on the field.

Due to being unable to attack for a long time, not only the morale of the army was frustrated, but the players of the Las Palmas team were also exhausted in physical strength while fighting for the ground.

By the 80th minute of the game, Kevin Boateng had already given up.He felt that his strength was almost exhausted.But he is the core of the team, and the team has to rely on him if they want to win.

The ball is passed to Kevin Boateng in an attack by Las Palmas.As soon as he grabbed the ball, the strength of the defender behind him made him a little unstable.And when he was desperately trying to stabilize his figure, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side, and then broke the ball away before he could react in time.

"My ball!" Kevin Boateng yelled unwillingly, but the Granada player who stole the ball only left him with a fast-moving back.Especially the large size 44 behind it is particularly conspicuous.

"Why? He can still run?" Kevin Boateng couldn't believe it.If the ball hadn't dropped too much in his physical strength, it wouldn't have been broken so easily.

Granada's No. 44 is of course Yan Feng.After Yan Feng broke the ball, he wanted to quickly launch a counterattack.However, due to the fact that the Granada team was too dense in the backcourt, and the Las Palmas team was very high, this made Yan Feng lose the space to attack.

In desperation, out of the corner of Yan Feng's eyes, he caught sight of a figure in a Granada jersey running forward.So, Yan Feng didn't even think about it, and just kicked the man in front of him with a long pass.

"I'm going, I'm getting older!" As soon as the ball left, Yan Feng was so depressed that he wanted to cry.The passing force was not well controlled this time.

Yan Feng's long pass missed a bit, and the strength was a bit stronger.But unfortunately, just like this, the ball directly crossed the entire defense line of the Las Palmas team, which was already a little high, and it did not go out of bounds.

And the teammate that Yan Feng had spotted before was Pereira.Pereira was arranged as a sideline midfielder this time. Although he also actively participated in the defense, the physical consumption was much smaller.He can also be regarded as one of the players on the court who still has some physical strength at this time.

Although Yan Feng didn't pass the ball very well, Pereira saw the hope of attacking.Pereira gritted his teeth and ran wildly. He squeezed out the last bit of strength in his body and chased the ball desperately.

Pereira was not slow in the first place. He chased the ball first while running desperately and his opponent's physical strength dropped sharply.This forced the goalkeeper who was originally standing forward to rush over and shovel.

As soon as Pereira picked the ball, the man jumped, and the opponent's goalkeeper not only failed to shovel the ball, but brought down the defender who was desperately chasing and defending.Next, Pereira easily hit the empty goal and succeeded.

"GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The home fans of the Granada team suddenly boiled up, and they began to cheer wildly with surprise on their faces.

Pereira was running with ecstasy, and Yan Feng was also running with joy. At this moment, they just wanted to run and keep running.

A goal is scored and the team is going to win!There is nothing more exciting than this.

Affected by some conceded goals, the morale of the Las Palmas team was completely demoralized.Next, they really couldn't break through the demoralized Granada team.

In the end, Granada won 1-0 at home.
