Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 519 Stable State

After returning to Granada, after a few days of training, the team soon ushered in the game again.The No. 19 round of La Liga, which is exactly half of the match, is against Celta Vigo, who seem to have nothing to desire this season.

Facing such a team, and still at their own home court, Granada will naturally not let the points slip away from their hands.Not surprisingly, Granada defeated Celta Vigo 2-0.

In this game, Yan Feng's performance was still extremely stable.Although he didn't score a goal, he assisted Lin Fan to score one of the goals under his intentional attempt.

Compared with last season, Yan Feng frequently scored goals at critical moments, and now he contributes more in defense.Yan Feng didn't care that his scoring data had dropped a lot compared to the same period.He felt that the team's performance in the same period was better.At the same time, he also feels that his current performance is becoming more and more stable.This kind of stable situation is more and more similar to Feng Xiaoting who is said to be as stable as a dog by the Chinese.

As the captain, Yan Feng is in a stable state, and the combat effectiveness of the Granada team will not fluctuate too much.Stability is the most powerful combat power of a strong team.

This stable state has also been extended to the ensuing Champions League games.

It's time for a week of double matches again, but after nearly half a month of rest, the Granada team's slightly tired body has recovered well.

In the case of good physical condition and stable overall state, Rao met the Champions League opponent Roma four days after playing Celta Vigo.But the Granada team was unafraid.

The game against Roma can be said to be the most important game for Granada in this UEFA Champions League group stage.

Since the points of the two sides are almost the same, with Chelsea firmly occupying the top spot and booking a qualifying place, this game is basically a decisive battle to determine who can grab the second qualifying place in the group.

The game is so important, fortunately, Granada has the advantage of home court.Taking advantage of their home court advantage and their more stable state, they finally defeated Roma 2:1.

After defeating Roma, Granada also scored 10 points in this group, thus occupying No.2 in the group.In the last round of the group stage, the opponent was Karabakh, but Roma's opponent was Chelsea. Granada can be said to be in sight.

Taking the lead in the Champions League group stage is good news that can stimulate the morale of the army.

With such a victorious power, the Granada team also performed well after returning to the league.

In the No.20 round of La Liga, Granada challenged Athletic Bilbao from afar.

Although Athletic Bilbao wants to use the bravery of the Basques to avenge the Granada team by virtue of their home court.However, with the Granada team in excellent condition and high morale, Athletic Bilbao also had to swallow the bitter fruit of losing at home.

Because Athletic Bilbao played extremely tenaciously in this game, Granada only won by one goal in the end.

Big wins and small wins, as long as you can win.After the break, in the new year, the Granada team won all three games, another start that couldn't have been better.

After winning the away game against Athletic Bilbao, Granada can't get time to rest.They had to hurry back to the city of Granada.Because they still have the last game of the Champions League group stage to play.

It should be said that Granada's schedule is fairly ideal.After all, you can only play at home, otherwise, if you go to Cyprus and play an away game, you will really have no time to rest.That would be extremely disadvantageous.

Fortunately, this time it's still home.

At Granada's home court, the opponent is still a weak team like Karabakh, which was repaired by their three goals before. It stands to reason that there is no suspense in this game.

And this game, at least in the first half, did.With Modric's outstanding performance, Granada led Karabakh 2-0 in the first half.

Leading by two goals in the first half, and the opponent is still such an underrated team, it can basically be said that the victory is certain.This is what everyone, including Yan Feng, thought after the first half.

Considering a week of double matches in a row, coupled with the victory, Pirlo replaced the goal hero Sandor at the beginning of the second half and went to rest.After all, there will be league games in a few days, and Kravitz also needs games to maintain his state.Sandor happily returned to the bench.

Yan Feng, the captain, has no objection to this.How could he also want to go to the bench to relax.You must know that his physical fitness is too good, and there are not many opportunities for substitute Morris to play.

Let Sandor go down to rest early, which did not affect the situation on the court.Except that Granada failed to add more goals, the rival Karabakh team did not threaten Granada's goal many times.

In this case, less than 60 minutes into the game, Pirlo asked Modric to rest again.Let Morris come up to partner with Yan Feng, and Lin Fan moves forward, which can give Modric, who is in his 30s, a rest. With the favorable situation of the game, the fans have no opinion.

After Modric went down, Granada's offense was indeed not as sharp as before.After all, Lin Fan is too young, and the level of organization is still somewhat different from that of Modric.However, even so, it still failed to give the opponent any chance.

In the 65th minute, Pirlo replaced the main force Mahrez again, allowing Aslan to play and exercise.

In less than 70 minutes, the Granada team used up three substitutions.But the whole team has no opinion on this.At least until 70 minutes ago, no one had an opinion.

But after 70 minutes of the game, it was time for the Granada team.In the fierce competition in the future, it is often when they start to really show off at this point in time.

Because of this, the Granada team relaxed when they felt that the game was more beneficial to them.Even Yan Feng was somewhat relaxed.

The result of this slack is that the Granada team has increased their individual efforts, and everyone's enthusiasm has declined.After making mistakes and being easily intercepted by the Karabakh team several times, this actually inspired the morale of the Karabakh team.

Gradually, the Karabakh team played better and better, and became more and more confident.Before they knew it, they attacked out.

However, the increase in Granada's mistakes did not quickly attract attention. When Yan Feng realized that the situation had changed, the momentum of the Karabakh team had risen and they scored a goal in a sneak attack that followed.

After losing the ball, the Granada team took it seriously again.But at this moment, the morale of the Karabakh team became high, as if they were screaming to push the home team away.

Once the team is loose, it is not easy to mobilize again.This allowed the Karabakh team to suppress the Granada team for a while.If Yan Feng hadn't immediately started to be ruthless, they might have been tied or even overtaken by them.

After Yan Feng actively defended and yelled at his teammates, the Granada team tensed up again.When it got serious, Karabakh didn't have so many chances anymore.

In the end, the Granada team won the game.

2:1 result.Although there was a twists and turns in the middle, the Granada team had the last laugh.With this result, they qualified as No.2 in the group stage.

It is the first time in history to participate in the UEFA Champions League and successfully qualify for the group stage. This is another historical achievement for the Granada team.
