Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 272: Basque Lion

"Basque Lion!"

Anyone who has followed La Liga must know that this is the Athletic Bilbao team in La Liga.A team made up of pure Basques.

Athletic Bilbao is a veteran team in La Liga. It is the third team in La Liga that has never been relegated except Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Athletic Bilbao have a unique history, which gives them their own unique style.Yan Feng heard for the first time that they only brought in players from the Basque Country, and they could still be in the upper middle class of La Liga.He still didn't believe it at first.It wasn't until he really understood that he realized how special this team was.

When Yan Feng understood the information given by the team, he was surprised to find that all Athletic Bilbao players came from the Basque Country except for one Frenchman.And this Frenchman is also a Basque, and was trained by their youth training.

A Basque country with a population of only about 200 million can support a team that ranks among the best in La Liga.This really surprised Yan Feng.It is said that more than 10 billion Chinese have failed to train a few players who can gain a foothold in Europe.

There is no harm without comparison.After this comparison, Yan Feng couldn't help but say: "The domestic youth training is really shit!"

After further research, Yan Feng discovered that the most valuable player in the Athletic Bilbao team was actually the only Frenchman, Laporte.Laporte's worth has reached 3000 million euros, almost more than half of the total worth of the Granada team.

"I'm going, how can there be such a frightening player in foreign countries? It will be great when I can have this value." Yan Feng was surprised at first, and then only envious.

After envy came over, Yan Feng looked at Laporte's age again. "In 94? Isn't that only 23 years old? Why? There are geniuses everywhere! We in China at this age, can play in the Super League. When will one or two in China reach this level of worth? Yes, then the World Cup will no longer be a fantasy!"

Looking at other players' players and his own teammates, Yan Feng began to panic.To get rid of those thoughts that made him depressed, Yan Feng looked at the worth of 3000 million euros, and couldn't help the desire to compete from the bottom of his heart.

"If I can compare with him, doesn't that prove that I can also be worth the price?"

It's a pity that this Yan Feng is just thinking about it.Because Laporte is a defender, there is basically no chance of playing against Yan Feng, who is currently playing a defensive midfielder.

On the day of the game, Yan Feng discovered that in addition to the unique team composition of Athletic Bilbao, they also had a group of crazy fans at home.

As soon as he appeared on the stage, Yan Feng was first overwhelmed by the crazy atmosphere of the home fans. That kind of feeling can only be experienced by being in it.It seems that there are auras and voices from all directions to suppress everyone who dares to raise the heart of resistance.That feeling is more scary than the home of the green turtles in China.

Yan Feng was stunned, not to mention the rest of the Granada team.

Under the pressure brought by the crazy fans, the Granada team behaved a little abnormally.Since the start of the game, even half of the usual combat power has not been able to be displayed.If it wasn't for the foresight of the head coach Alcaraz, who put up a 541 defensive formation early, they might have lost the ball within a few minutes of the start.

Although later, the Granada team gradually adapted, and their performance began to pick up.But Athletic Bilbao's Devil's home court is not a joke. No matter how much it is adjusted, Granada will not be able to return to its previous state.Lian Yanfeng's desperate efforts did not play a very good role except for bringing himself a few foul statistics.

In this case, no matter how much the Granada team defends, they will still be unable to defend in the end.They were still 1 goal behind in the first half.

During the intermission, all the Granada soldiers who returned to the locker room had heavy expressions on their faces.I don't know why, everyone's status on this court just can't be raised.On the contrary, this stadium has a BUFFG that greatly reduces the status of the visiting team's players.

"It's so evil! I feel like I'm out of control." Yan Feng was very depressed.Although he is very firm, but today he just feels that his mind is full, and he is not in the right state.

Alcaraz, who was also aware of the problem, used the rest time to constantly mediate the mental state of the players.And he also changed the team's previous strategy.

He asked the team to stop defending in the second half and play more proactively.Anyway, he was already behind, and if he didn't attack, he would also be a loser.

After the adjustment of the intermission, the Granada players did have a change in their mental state after they returned to the court.In addition, they suddenly changed their tactics, and they gradually found a sense of playing proactively.

In the second half, Granada needed to attack, they needed to score.But when they really wanted to counterattack, they discovered the unity and tenacity of Athletic Bilbao.

The cohesion of Athletic Bilbao is even more vividly reflected in the defense.Their very integrated, strong and tenacious defense made it difficult for the Granada team to break through the defense line after exhausting various methods.

The Granada team took a breath to attack, but not only failed to achieve results, but also almost allowed Athletic Bilbao's counterattack to break the goal several times.If it hadn't been for Yan Feng who stayed behind to fight his life and pay the price of a yellow card, they could have declared the game lost earlier.

But even if Longban paid the price of a yellow card, he still couldn't give Granada a chance to score.

In Granada's desperate counterattack, Laporte in Athletic Bilbao can show what is worth 3000 million euros.His precise positioning and decisive and very high success rate of the tackle made Granada's offense invisible.Granada's main striker Kravitz was completely at a disadvantage in the contest with Laporte.

Later, Alcaraz used substitutions to strengthen the offense, but facing the defense led by Laporte, Granada's offense seemed weak.

With the passage of time, Granada's offense not only failed to achieve results, but was overwhelmed by Athletic Bilbao and had to retreat to the backcourt.

"If this goes on, we're doomed! What should we do?" Seeing that his opponent once again had an absolute advantage on the field, Yan Feng became anxious.

But the overall strength of the Granada team lies there, and Yan Feng is unable to save Daxia from falling for a while.On the contrary, Athletic Bilbao seemed to see more chances of victory and began to launch quite threatening attacks.

Seeing that Granada's goal began to become turbulent, it seemed that the goal would be broken at any time in the next second.

"You have to do something, otherwise you will definitely lose." Yan Feng desperately defended while thinking hard about countermeasures.

"I can't help it. Maybe if you go all out and fight, maybe you will have a chance." In the end, Yan Feng gritted his teeth and decided to give it a go.

"Everyone fights, we must not lose the ball again. As long as we persevere, we will still be alive." Yan Feng shouted loudly to his teammates beside him, hoping to arouse everyone's blood.

Yan Feng didn't just talk about it, he was also more involved in his actions.He didn't care that he still had a yellow card on his back. When it was time to shovel, he never hesitated.Driven by him, the rest of the Granada team mustered their last remaining courage and held on desperately.

With the persistence of the Granada team, they stubbornly withstood the crazy offensive launched by Athletic Bilbao in 65-80 minutes.

Athletic Bilbao did not expect Granada to withstand their attack.However, they didn't care too much, especially after seeing the exhaustion on the faces of the Granada players, they still felt that the victory was in their hands with a ball in their hands.

As time draws to a close, Athletic Bilbao, whose physical fitness has also plummeted, also began to slow down.Occupying the absolute advantage on the field, with one goal in hand, the game time is running out. No matter how strong Athletic Bilbao is, it is inevitable to relax at this time.

But when the players of the Athletic Bilbao team began to relax, they would not have imagined that someone among the opponents who seemed to have no power to fight back was planning a Jedi counterattack.

The person who is going to fight back is Yan Feng.He was not reconciled to the team's defeat.Although the team has temporarily left the relegation zone, a loss may make them fall back into the quagmire again.Yan Feng can't accept this situation happening again, as long as the game is not over, he will take the opportunity to attack.I will definitely not be caught without a fight.

Finally, the opportunity Yan Feng had been waiting for came.In a difficult defense, they managed to grab the ball.

"Give it to me!" Yan Feng asked his teammates for the ball immediately.

Soon, his request was answered.The teammate passed the ball to Yan Feng immediately when it was difficult to control the ball.

As soon as Yan Feng got the ball, before he could turn around, he was forced by an opponent from behind.

Raul Garcia who forced him.A midfielder with comprehensive skills and a strong style in the Athletic Bilbao team.Even if his physical fitness dropped, he still forced the opponent with the ball from behind immediately.

The strong Garcia kept exerting pressure from behind, and he wanted to use his growing strength to force Yan Feng to make a mistake.

But he really underestimated Yan Feng.He didn't know that the more you press and the closer you press, it will give Yan Feng a better chance.

No, after carrying it hard a few times, Yan Feng predicted that the opponent would push forward more strongly, and suddenly his right shoulder sank, and he swiped his right foot on the ball, making a move to get rid of it to the right.Then the left hand scooped back, quickly turned to the left and took the ball along.Successfully turned around and left Garcia behind.

As soon as he got rid of it, Yan Feng felt that all the cells in his body were beating.Excited like countless times before.He began to accelerate forward continuously.

Because the opponent didn't expect that Yan Feng would dare to surpass others in this situation, and he could get rid of it successfully. For a while, no one could block Yan Feng's way in time.

"attack!!!!"

Yan Feng roared, waved his hands forward, and the whole person accelerated crazily.

Soon, an opponent rushed up to intercept.But the opponent who wanted to intercept the first shot was just giving Yan Feng a chance.What Yan Feng is not afraid of most is that others will step out, what he is afraid of is that you will not step out.

The backlash and push are extraordinary!In the eyes of those who don't know him, Yan Feng used a small white fried ball to pass his opponent.

"Fried meatballs? That No. 44 actually has such a trick? No, it's dangerous!" The home fans were all shocked by Yan Feng's sudden move.

After Yan Feng passed another person, he continued to accelerate and run forward.And his two successful escapes also gave other players in Granada the hope of attacking.People like Pereira rushed up one after another, hoping to support Yan Feng.

Yan Feng's advance speed was too fast, so that the Athletic Bilbao team's defense line, which was too high, could not be organized.He rushed through the midfield very quickly and he met Laporte.But at this time, there was no one behind Laporte, so he could only choose to retreat and delay.

But Yan Feng had already made up his mind to go to the end at this time, and he kept pushing forward with the ball.

After stepping back for a while, Laporte slowed down.Laporte has always been known for his decisiveness and shoveling.He saw that Yan Feng's speed hadn't slowed down much, so he fixed his eyes on Yan Feng's ball.Then he suddenly changed direction, trotted a few steps, and made a tackle on the rolling ball.

Laporte's usual decisiveness can bring him many successful interceptions, but today's decisiveness has hurt him.While he fell to the ground, Yan Feng also started to move.

It's another backlash and push, uh~ No.Because the speed of the push was too fast, Yan Feng could only make forward and continuous pushes, which is commonly known as 'fried meatballs'.

Like a drift, Yan Feng made a change in his running, allowing him to take the ball past Laporte who was passing by with a shovel.

Laporte's action really became reckless, but his shovel also slowed down Yan Feng's speed.This allowed his teammates who had retreated at the same level as him to have time to fill in the loopholes he left.

Originally, after passing Laporte's shovel, there was a space in front of Yan Feng, but because the distance was too far, he was not sure of scoring, so he hesitated.But this hesitation quickly lost the opportunity to start.

Someone was blocking the front again, and someone was gradually approaching from the other side.Yan Feng is not the king of the ball like Maradona, he doesn't think he can single out a defense line.As a result, Yan Feng's advance slowed down further.

Soon, in front of Yan Feng, the opponent formed a defense zone between two people.Yan Feng realized that if he continued to force his way, the chance of success was uncertain.So, he simply stopped, keeping a distance of about three meters between him and the defender.

Yan Feng looked up and swept left and right, and soon a smile appeared on his face.The support he had been waiting for finally arrived.Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Pereira rushing forward with his hands up on the wing, soon to be past the defender.

Yan Feng immediately looked down at the ball, flicked the ball with his right foot first, and then he sent a long pass.

For this ball, Yan Feng exhausted his best control, and the direction of the ball was carefully calculated by himself.

"Go, I'll leave it to you!"

Yan Feng looked at the flying ball and put all his hopes on it.

Although Yan Feng has been practicing hard, the level of long passing has not reached a high level.But this pass was the best of all his long passes so far.

The ball surpassed the entire defense line of the opponent in the air, and the landing point was a little bit forward.Fortunately, Pereira's speed has been fully up. His advantage of starting first allowed him to get rid of those who watched him, and got the ball before the goalkeeper came out to destroy it.

Pereira got the ball, adjusted his body, and then sent the ball with a tricky arc before the chasing defender and the goalkeeper who was about to attack were surrounded.

The ball evaded the goalkeeper's save with an arc close to the ground, and then rolled into the far corner of the goal.

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