Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 495 This Is The Team I Really Want
After leaving the locker room, the players of the Granada team were jealous and their thick necks disappeared.The team as a whole seemed calmer, too.

When the two sides returned to the court, Yan Feng found that the opponent's expression was not different from that in the first half.He frowned at first, but quickly relaxed it.

"Be careful, everyone, the other party still looks like that."

"Everyone, pay attention to the other party's movements, and don't get hurt. Also, don't get angry easily. Maybe, we can learn from the La Masia Film and Television Academy later today." Seeing the other party's jealous look, Yan Yan Feng quickly began to remind his teammates.

"Hehe, that's right. Maybe, I have to learn from Professor Bu today. I'll bring back a La Liga Oscar." Lin Fan replied with a smile.

"If they do that again, we'll draw fouls, one or two, and the game will be won."

"Everyone should know how to deal with it. Now let's shout the trumpets." After the instructions, Yan Feng asked everyone to form a circle together and clasp hands.

"Granada, must win!"

Atletico Madrid were also shouting similar slogans. After shouting, many people stared fiercely at Granada.

The two sides were ready, and the referee immediately blew the whistle to start the second half.

As the whistle blew, Atletico Madrid started to attack Granada after kick-off.

Being on the offensive side is naturally much more relaxed than being on the defensive side.Everything looks relatively normal, no different from a regular game.Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, felt a little uncomfortable.

Granada's current defense is mainly to maintain a defensive position, and it doesn't look like it just rushed over like in the first half.This made them a little uncomfortable.

The Atlético Madrid players didn't think much of it, though.If there is a chance, of course we must try to organize a wave of offense. It is naturally best to score a goal.

Atlético Madrid organized the offense and Granada responded by maintaining a defensive formation that assisted each other.Atlético Madrid pushed across the halfway line, but when they touched the final third, Granada's defense hardened.

It is impossible to have no physical contact in offense and defense, and physical confrontation still occurs.Atlético Madrid still moved a lot, and they still held the elbows like that when protecting the ball.Lin Fan got hit on the mouth while defending Gabi, but this time he didn't get angry and retaliate, but continued to defend with normal movements.

Just when the outside world thought that sparks would hit the earth again soon and people would be turned on their backs, but until Atletico Madrid ended this wave of offensive, it still didn't happen.

"Lin Fan, are you okay? The corner of your mouth seems to be bleeding." After withstood the opponent's attack, Yan Feng quickly noticed that the corner of Lin Fan's mouth was bleeding.

Lin Fan wiped the corner of his mouth when he heard the words, and it was indeed bleeding.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Yan Feng signaled Lin Fan to the referee.After getting permission from the referee, Lin Fan went to the sidelines for treatment.

Seeing Lin Fan like that, Yan Feng was really angry.The others were also very annoyed, and Long Ban immediately scolded them with his fiery temper, and even expressed that he wanted to get back on the stage.

"Forget what the coach said just now in the locker room?" Yan Feng said, looking at the dissatisfied teammates.

Thinking of Pirlo's words, Longban shut up, and the others stopped talking.It's just that everyone was silent with a bad face.

Seeing this, Yan Feng hurriedly continued: "Next time this happens again, you all lie down on the ground for me. If the referee doesn't blow the whistle, I will fill the space behind."

"Yeah." Hearing what Yan Feng said, everyone's complexion is considered better.Even Modric, who is more gentle and elegant on weekdays, nodded heavily.

The game continued, Lin Fan quickly dealt with it on the sidelines, and ran back to the field after asking the referee for instructions.

Yan Feng looked at Lin Fan who had a Band-Aid on his lips and nodded, and the latter also nodded back.

And when Yan Feng and Lin Fan nodded to each other, Modric, who was dribbling the ball, received strong care again. "Ah." With a sound, Modric fell to the ground.

The referee blew his whistle after hesitating for a while, but didn't say anything more.Regarding this, Yan Feng and others didn't say anything, they just pulled Modric up in the past, and then immediately continued the game.

After serving, the Granada team calmly passed the ball and cooperated patiently looking for opportunities.After a few more cooperations, the ball was sent to Sandel.

As soon as Sandel, who was on his back, touched the ball, his foot was swept by Savage behind him and he half-knelt down.Sandor gritted his teeth and stood up with the people behind him on his back, desperately protecting the ball.

Savage made a lot of small moves, and Sandel suffered a lot in secret, but he insisted on not retaliating, and after seeing Lin Fan behind him quickly put in a counter, he immediately passed back the ball.

After Sandor scored the ball, he immediately turned around and rushed forward, but the defensive Savage still grabbed his coat corner with one hand to prevent him from getting rid of the success.

Lin Fan, who received the ball, first made an inside cut, and then directly made a through pass, hitting the ball in front of Sandel.

Sandor gritted his teeth and sprinted vigorously while resisting Savage's impact and pull.In the end, Sandor used a shovel shot on the ground to finish the goal first.

Sandor's shot was blocked, and Mahrez, who followed obliquely, made a supplementary shot, but it missed the goal.

"Hey, it's a pity that we didn't score. However, this kind of offensive is what I want to see. Come on, Granada, we will definitely score." This time the no-goal offensive caused cheers from the fans.Seeing the home team play such an attack again, many people feel very happy.

"See? Brothers, that's what we should really do. As long as we continue like this, we will definitely win the game." Yan Feng also took the opportunity to encourage his teammates.

"That's right, real football cannot be stopped by violence."

"I feel like if you do it again, you'll score."

This time the attack failed, and many people suffered a lot of losses in the process, but this gave everyone hope of winning.Everyone's confidence is encouraged.

Granada's offense was very threatening and put a lot of pressure on Atletico Madrid.But not enough, they did not change their previous practice.

After another 5 minutes, Atletico Madrid was still the same as in the first half.But apart from bringing more fouls to themselves, Granada's calm treatment did not bring any effect.

On the contrary, the Granada team, who had suffered a secret move but also gritted their teeth and insisted on completing tactical moves, made several threatening offensives.Although they didn't make it, their confidence has been fully restored.

Atletico Madrid felt more pressure, but they were still stuck in the violence of the first half and could not come out.With the forbearance and persistence of the home team Granada, they gradually fell behind.

Another 5 minutes passed.The difference in situation between the two sides became more and more obvious.The Granada team has begun to occupy a lot of advantages.

Faced with this situation, the Atletico Madrid team, which was almost red-eyed, did not reflect on it.Their movements became more and more rough, and when defending, they even showed that they were about to foul.

This made the Granada team very dissatisfied and angry.It's just that everyone remembered what Pirlo said during the intermission.Even if someone gets angry again, Yan Feng will go up to persuade him in time.And they created more threats to attack in offense and defense, which also made them hold back.

The players on the field held back, but the fans couldn't stand it anymore.In the first half, both sides were rough on rough, and the fans couldn't say anything.But now, the Granada team behaved very calmly, but the Atletico Madrid team's insatiable actions, compared with it, annoyed the fans even more.

"Atletico Madrid get out."

"Garbage that is not planted is only a foul."

Fan dissatisfaction is on the rise.

The game was still going on. In the 60th minute, in a corner kick attack, Longban, who was fighting for the top, was hit by his opponent, and the corners of his eyebrows were wide open.

Long Ban's eyebrows were opened, and blood flowed down quickly.Seeing this, Yan Feng, who was extremely angry in his heart, twisted his fists so much that he was about to sweat.With a cold face, he came to the referee and looked at the latter expressionlessly.Just stood there quietly without saying a word.

Then, Lin Fan, Modric, and other Granada players stood in front of the referee.None of them said anything, and even showed no expression on their faces.Just look at the referee quietly.

The referee, who was watched silently by so many pairs of eyes, couldn't help swallowing, and cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.

The players protested silently, but the fans in the stands couldn't help it.

"Red card, red card, red card!!!" The fans shouted in unison, louder and louder.

There is a stark contrast between the shouts of the fans and the silent stares of the players.But this put immense pressure on the referee, and he kept wiping off his sweat.Finally, with trembling hands, he took a red card from his pocket.

Under the gaze of Yan Feng and others, amidst the sound of red cards from the fans, the referee slowly came to the front of Savage, and then raised the red card.

"Red card! Yay!" Seeing this, the fans in the stands immediately cheered.This is the first red card since the game.You know, from the first half to the present, so many rough situations only caused the referee to draw two yellow cards.And one of them was for Granada.

yeah!Yan Feng clenched his fist secretly.Seeing that the referee had already made a penalty, he quickly turned around and rushed towards Longban who had been supported by the medical team.

"Longban, how are you?"

"It's just a little bleeding, I'm used to it." Longban covered his head with his hands, but smiled.

"Go to the treatment. We have a huge advantage, which you brought." Yan Feng said.

Longban nodded and was taken to the sidelines for treatment.However, after that, Longban did not return to the field, but was replaced by Benkovic.

At this point in the game, the Granada team began to have a numerical advantage.Their previous forbearance finally paid off.

The calm handling in front gave the Granada team a technical and tactical advantage, and now it has an advantage in numbers.The balance of the game tilted at this moment.

The morale of the Atletico Madrid team was severely setback because Savage was sent off.Whether it is momentum or psychology, it has been greatly affected.

At this time, Atletico Madrid also realized that this consequence was caused by their failure to accept these actions.But by then it was too late.

The appearance of the red card made Atletico Madrid beware.They no longer dare to move so much when defending.

The Granada team's superiority in numbers initially brought them great benefits.They completely dominated the game and held Atletico Madrid down in the half.

The advantages and disadvantages have been completely divided, and it is irreversible.But Atletico Madrid didn't just sit there.While they were stubbornly resisting the attack of the Granada team, they were still waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.Atletico Madrid also kept Griezmann up front as Granada pressed hard.

The Granada team launched a fierce attack, but failed to break through the goal for a while.After attacking wildly for a while, Atletico Madrid still found a chance to counterattack.

Atletico Madrid's approach of ambush Griezmann to the front really worked.When Griezmann received the pass, he desperately attacked the Granada team.

There is no doubt about Griezmann's personal strength. He has long been hailed by the outside world as a contender for the Golden Ball after Ronaldo Messi. Whether it is personal speed, technology, or the combination of human and ball skills, he is extremely good.

Even the impact of Griezmann alone still poses a great threat to the Granada team.

Because Yan Feng stepped forward to participate in the attack, he failed to return to the defense in time this time.Before he chases back, he can only hope that his teammates at the back will withstand the impact of Griezmann.

Ingarson is not fast enough, and another central defender, the newly replaced Benkovic, is too young.Therefore, Griezmann hit the middle of the two very firmly.

In the end, Griezmann chose the young Benkovic as a breakthrough point.

Griezmann took the ball straight to Benkovic, and kept changing the line to attack forward, which made Benkovic dare not stop and intercept directly.

"Hold on. You must hold on. Hold on for a few more seconds, and I'll be there." Seeing that Benkovic was struggling to defend against Griezmann's constant line-changing impact, Yan Feng ran back with all his strength, while I prayed in my heart.

A striker like Griezmann is really not something ordinary people can guard against.After all, Benkovic is too young, and in the first few games, he was just a substitute.At this time, everyone was worried that he would be broken by Griezmann.

But unexpectedly, Benkovic began to show amazing speed.He is as fast as Griezmann.Griezmann couldn't get rid of him.

Griezmann was unable to escape the defense of Benkovic and started to make contact.At this time, Benkovic's advantages in physical strength began to show off.Using his strong physical fitness, Griezmann's speed was slowed down.

Benkovic held back Griezmann, who desperately protected the ball with his excellent personal skills.But he was dragged, and when he reached the front of the restricted area, Yan Feng came back.

Griezmann fell into the pincer attack of Yan Feng and Benkovic. After Ingarsen also surrounded him, he was completely surrounded.The final result was that Griezmann was encircled and suppressed.

Atletico Madrid's extremely threatening counterattack was stifled.The Granada team felt more at ease, and Benkovic's excellent defense won everyone's confidence.

Atletico Madrid's morale plummeted because of the failure of the assault.The last hope of winning was lost.

In this way, Atletico Madrid has no power to fight back.They were completely surrounded and beaten.

In the 85th minute of the game, Granada finally took advantage of a corner kick and knocked on Atletico Madrid's goal from Vidal.

Atletico Madrid failed to make waves after this conceded goal.

The final score was 1:0. Granada won.

"This is the team I really want to see." After the game, when the fans cheered, Pirlo smiled softly.
