Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 520 Advance and Strengthen Strength

Granada qualified for the Champions League group stage. This is not only good news for them, but also a happy event for the entire La Liga fans.

This year's Champions League, La Liga participating teams, even the rookie Granada team have successfully qualified, and the other teams are even more so.Atletico Madrid qualified, as did Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and the latter two teams easily qualified as the top names.

La Liga broke through across the board, which is due to the success and strength of La Liga.And this time the Champions League also has four teams qualifying for the Premier League.Therefore, the Champions League round of [-] has almost become a competition between La Liga and the Premier League.Then the knockout rounds will be drawn, and the two leagues will also stage three duels in the top sixteen.

Granada is not among them, but they have met Paris Saint-Germain, which is now stirring up troubles all over the world.It's really not a good sign to meet the Paris Saint-Germain team, which is now as fierce as a tiger.

However, Granada still has a lot of games to play against Paris Saint-Germain.At that time, the situation of the two teams is still unknown.

After winning the Karabakh team and qualifying for the group stage, the Granada team celebrated with great joy.However, it didn't take a break.

The schedule of double matches a week is too tight, but there is no way, every strong team in the five major leagues is like this.Without enough strength and benches, multi-line combat will definitely be an extremely difficult test.

The Granada team is now facing such a test.After playing the Champions League group stage, they did not get a short rest.Because, next, they not only have La Liga to play, but also the Copa del Rey to play.The future is going to be a long stretch of one-hit fortnights.The real test for Granada is just beginning.

Less than three days after the game against Karabakh, the Granada team will go away to challenge the Espanyol.

Although affected by the intensive schedule, the physical fitness of the Granada team's main players has been greatly affected.But after a difficult contest, the Granada team still beat the Espanyol by one goal.

After winning the Espanyol, the Granada team only rested for four days before starting a new game.This time it was a Spanish King's Cup match.

Thanks to being a La Liga team, Granada started playing in the last sixteen of the Copa del Rey.This can be regarded as a relief for them.

The Copa del Rey game has not been valued by the Granada team since before.There is no way, it was not strong enough in the past, so I can only focus on the ranking in the league.

But this time, it is still not taken seriously by the Granada team.Although the strength of the Granada team has been greatly improved now, the problem is that their bench accumulation is too small. With more important Champions League games, the Copa del Rey simply cannot allow them to send too many main players.

Modric, Sandor and others, even Lin Fan were all placed on the bench by Pirlo.Except for the main defenders with relatively good physical condition, the main attackers in the frontcourt even sat on the sidelines.

Yan Feng, who is the absolute main force and captain of the team, is not so lucky.In view of the hard work of the capable and Yan Feng's super physical fitness, he was still put on the court by Pirlo.

Under the leadership of Yan Feng, the Granada team, which was mostly substitute players, still won the first round of the King's Cup round of [-].For a West Second team like Elche, the Granada team is still relatively sure.After all, their current bench lineup is no worse than last season's main force with Yan Feng.

Most of the main players won the first game of the Copa del Rey without playing, which allowed the main players of the Granada team to recover a little.

A less tired Granada returned to the league and soon took down Alaves at home.

So far, in the new year, the Granada team has won six consecutive victories in various competitions.It's really a new year and a new atmosphere, and the momentum of making great strides has allowed them to once again reach the top of La Liga.

The Granada team went well at the beginning of the new year, and even returned to the top of the list, except that they performed well in a stable state.Another part of the reason is that there have been ups and downs in the state of not encountering strong enemies and competitors.

And this opponent with ups and downs only refers to the Barcelona team, which previously ranked first.

They have been in a slump since the beginning of the new year after failing to win against Grenada before Christmas.Although they successfully advanced to the Champions League, they were in a difficult situation in the league.

With Messi's frontcourt, their offense is still sharp.However, their midfield is not strong enough and it is full of loopholes.Even against a team like Deportivo, they failed to win and were drawn.

When I met Atletico Madrid, I was even directly laid down by the opponent.Although it was only a small loss of 2:3, the problem of the old and weak defense was also exposed.

If it weren't for Paulinho's return from injury in time, maybe the Barcelona team would have a losing streak.Although the decline was stopped in time, they were overtaken by a triumphant Granada team in the standings.

It's not just Granada that overtook Barcelona, ​​but also Real Madrid, which has been in equally good form recently.Falling from the top to the third position, this made the Barcelona team determined to introduce new players during the just-opened winter window transfer period.

The Granada team is also determined to sign.Although their main lineup is already very competitive, their bench depth is still not enough.After starting the third-line battle, Pirlo has deeply felt the pressure of insufficient manpower.

Now the Granada team, money is no longer a problem.Behind him was Boss Ma, the God of Wealth, and Jiang Lizhang, who was swishing, waved his hand.As long as the coaching staff likes it, I can bring it back for you.

Pirlo took a fancy to the forward striker Mina from Valencia. Mina in 95 has good strength and great potential.The current main center of the Granada team is Sandel, and there is a spare Kravitz, but it is obviously not enough.To fight on the third front, the Granada team needs strong candidates.

Mina was already highly valued in the Valencia team, and it was not easy to dig him.However, after shelling out a lot of money, Mina was finally attracted by the good prospects of the Granada team.

After some difficult judgments, Yan Feng had Mina as a new teammate.At this time, the forward players include Sander, Mina, Kravitz, and the two wingers Martial and Mahrez, which are considered enough.

The striker is enough, but not enough elsewhere.After asking Yan Feng's opinion, Pirlo decided to strengthen the back line.He took a fancy to Manchester United's Italian international Damian.

Damian, who was born in 89, is at his peak. He can gallop on the left and right flanks. If he can come, he will be a great supplement to the Granada team's full-backs.

But to win Damian, it will not be achieved in a short time.The matter of bringing in Damian fell into a difficult judgment for the time being.

In addition to the above two people, Pirlo actually has his eyes on Liverpool's Coutinho.However, when the news that Granada was interested in Coutinho first appeared, the Barcelona team joined the snatch with a high profile.

The Barcelona team directly took out a huge sum of 1.6 million euros.To match such a huge transfer fee, Jiang Lizhang naturally asked the God of Wealth to dismount.Just when the Granada team was about to spend no less than this money, Coutinho couldn't wait to express his willingness to join the great team of Barcelona.

The Granada team continued to fight, but after finding that Coutinho would prefer to go to the Barcelona team, they had to give up.This is why the Granada team wants to introduce Mina.

The Granada team is still trying to introduce other powerful players, but since the team does not have enough glorious history, the move to introduce star-level players has fallen into bitter talks.
