Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 496 After the game and six consecutive victories
A tough game is finally over.But its impact has only just begun.

There is no doubt that a defeat hit Atletico Madrid hard.Although they only lost by one goal in the final stage of the game.But the blow to them was no less than a big defeat.

They lost, not just lost a game.More importantly, they lost the spirit of their entire team.

Before the game, Atletico Madrid came to Granada, what was the idea?It is to defeat the Granada team and make a name for himself.It is to let the world see that they are the most capable team in La Liga apart from Real Madrid and Barcelona to win the championship.

Now, they have lost, they have not been able to justify themselves, and they have made themselves the real fourth in La Liga.This is a shake of their spirit and belief of the team.

Some people may raise objections to the outside world.Didn't you just lose a ball?And it was only lost in the final stage of the away game.It should be a glorious defeat.Such a game can not judge the strength of the two teams.

But only Atletico Madrid knew that they lost completely.

After experiencing the match, they understood that Granada's defense was too solid, and under normal circumstances, it was not easy for them to break through.Their offensive strength cannot shake Granada's defense.

What makes them even more frustrated is that their offensive ability is also not as good as the Granada team.When they were defending the Granada team, they felt that they couldn't work together.And you must know that the current offensive ability of the Granada team has not been fully utilized.Over time, it will definitely become stronger.

What hit them the most was the huge difference in the spiritual level between the two sides.In this game, they were fighting Granada with a lot of vigor.In the first half, they did drag Granada into their disruptive rhythm.In the first half, Granada's change and forbearance finally made Atletico Madrid pay the price for their ruthless stocks.And eventually lost the game.

A fact that Atletico Madrid has to admit is that they are really not as good as the current Granada team.There is even a level gap.

In the post-match press conference, the dejected Griezmann said such words in frustration.

"Atletico Madrid is not the team I want to see!"

"I am very envious of our opponents today, they have a more suitable temperament than us to compete for the championship."

"I'm really disappointed!" After dropping these last words, Griezmann left.Only their frosty head coach Simeone was left.The latter fell under the heavy bombardment of the reporters afterwards, and was finally devastated.

The Granada team asked Modric to follow Pirlo to interview reporters after the game.

When Modric was asked questions, he always had a smile on his face.

"In this game, I received very special treatment. Of course, other teammates also received a lot of special treatment. This brought us great difficulties in the first half, and almost made us lose control as well. .”

"Fortunately, we got rid of it in the second half. Here we would like to thank our head coach, Mr. Pirlo. It was he who woke us up during the intermission. Faced with those infuriating methods, we finally endured Come down and finally make the opponent pay for it. It lifted us mentally."

"The final victory is due to our strength and we deserve it."

Modric answered very calmly and appropriately when faced with questions.This made Pirlo very happy.Looking at Modric, he had a feeling that this was him.

Everything about this game is over.And the evaluation of this game also followed.

There is no doubt that in professional football where winners and losers prevail, the losing side, Atletico Madrid, will naturally be criticized to pieces.The most frequently used word in the outside world's comments on them is "fall".

The loser left in disgrace.And the victors Granada began to enjoy praise from all directions.

"After this game, no one will doubt it. Granada is definitely a strong contender for the La Liga title this season."

"Judging from this game, the Granada team has gradually improved and has begun to show the temperament of a truly strong team."

"I expect Granada to win the Champions League at the end of this season. The pas de deux in La Liga is exhausting. It's time for a new king."

"The wind of the king!" This sentence became the outside world's comment on the changes in the Granada team's game.

And following the Granada team's praise is the playmaker Modric.The outside world has praised him over and over again for his appearance and irreplaceable role for the Granada team.

This made Modric more and more motivated.Since joining the Granada team, he has appeared on the homepage of the sports page more and more times, and even received praise that is not lost to Ronaldo and Messi.After only playing five rounds, Modric has become the most influential three in La Liga together with Ronaldo and Messi.

Granada are now looking more and more unstoppable.After defeating Atletico Madrid, they still continued their previous good form.

In the sixth round of La Liga, the Granada team won again in the away game.They beat the home team Alaves 1-0.

In this game, although it is an away game, the Granada team does have a clear advantage.If it weren't for the two horses who were too focused on scoring goals, the score would definitely not be like this.

This time, the teenager Benkovic replaced the injured Longban in the starting lineup and became one of the double central defenders.Still, he's doing pretty well.With Yan Feng guarding the front, even the Alaves team, which is playing at home, reluctantly had the idea that they could not shake the defense.

Modric had an assist again, and the goal came from a long shot from Lin Fan.

So far, a total of six La Liga games, Granada have won.They achieved their unprecedented six-game winning streak.

This wave of six consecutive victories allowed them to secure the top spot in La Liga.This has brought tremendous pressure to the other two strong teams in La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Barcelona is better.They also achieved six consecutive victories, with the same points as Granada, only one goal behind.

And Real Madrid is going to be a little more depressed.They only achieved four wins and two draws in the first six games, and they were four points behind Granada, and could only succumb to third place.

Such a La Liga standings are very rare.The Granada team has finally been confirmed by the outside world as a team that everyone recognizes as the favorites for the championship.
