Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 525 Retreat
Arriving in Paris in a hurry, the Granada team did not have much time to adapt and prepare.Soon to usher in the second round of the Champions League round of sixteen.

In this second round of the game, the Granada team was far less calm than the first round.That time was in the Granada team's own stadium. That time they had a neat lineup and a strong military spirit.This time, they came to an unfamiliar stadium. They were not well-organized, worried and their morale was not too high.

pressure!big!
Some from Granada, some from Paris Saint-Germain.The mountains and seas of fans at the Parc des Princes brought tremendous psychological pressure to the Granada team.

Today is the decisive battle to decide who can advance, and few parties will feel relaxed.Rao Yan Feng, who has always been full of fighting spirit, also felt heavy pressure in his heart at this meeting.

Yan Feng, who has experienced the AFC Champions League, naturally understands the meaning of the Champions League.Foreign wars are always more important than civil wars, and are more important to fans.In the case of the team being tied at home, the Granada team has no way out in this round of the game.

"There is no way out, this time we have to fight to the end." Yan Feng knew that his side was the passive side, and it was extremely difficult to win the game at Paris Saint-Germain's home court.During the entrance ceremony, Yan Feng's eyes became fascinated by the overwhelming sound waves coming from the Prince's Park Stadium, and then a raging fighting spirit began to ignite in it.

The game starts soon.

Because you are passive, you need to be active.After the start of the game, although the Granada team still played their usual 4231 formation, they resolutely launched an attack on the home team from the first touch of the ball.

This time, the Granada team will also focus on the guest, and started the offensive without any temptation.

At their own home court, Paris Saint-Germain will naturally not let themselves be attacked easily.Under the methodical defense, the Granada team naturally failed to succeed.

After the attack failed, the Granada team immediately turned to the high position in the frontcourt to press.Want to keep the pressure on and take the opportunity to catch them off guard.

This practice of the Granada team immediately brought the game into a fierce confrontation.The Granada team came up so fiercely that it really scared the Paris Saint-Germain team.However, this is the home court of the Paris Saint-Germain team after all, and they quickly realized that they did not let the Granada team succeed under the steady pass control.

After withstood Granada's high-pressing press, Paris Saint-Germain finally started to fight back.

Although knowing that Granada must take the initiative to attack, the Paris Saint-Germain stars were very angry with Granada's anti-customer approach.

"This is our territory. How dare you be so arrogant when you come here? Fuck them!"

Even if there is an advantage in hand, even this draw can advance, but the current Paris Saint-Germain team has its own pride.At home, they prefer to win to advance.

At the Parc des Princes, with the support of nearly [-] fans, Paris Saint-Germain can better display their strength.Therefore, when they started to attack, Granada's defense immediately felt a great threat.

Paris Saint-Germain's offense was more ferocious and threatening than in the first match.This kind of threat brought great defensive pressure, so Yan Feng, who originally wanted to participate in the offense more, had to put more energy into defense.

The Granada team, which had put on an all-out offensive posture at the beginning of the game, was soon forced to shrink after Paris Saint-Germain launched an attack.The momentum of the home team is stronger and more oppressive than theirs.

The strong momentum of the Paris Saint-Germain team after the start of the attack excited the fans in the audience.

"Defeat them, let them go back to the country in disgrace!"

Paris Saint-Germain's offense is really fierce at home, but these Granada teams have long been mentally prepared.Therefore, after increasing the defense, the strong attack of Neymar and other stars failed to break the defense of the Granada team.

Relying on the advantages of the home court, Paris Saint-Germain gradually gained the upper hand in the next game.

Granada, which needs more goals, will attack resolutely whenever they have the opportunity.Under Modric's organization, Granada's offense is still very threatening.

Only after Mahrez was injured, Granada's two-horse charge left only one side.Aslan, who replaced him, really couldn't achieve the contribution Mahrez brought.Only Martial's side was left to attack, which greatly reduced the Granada's offense.

Compared with the first round of the match, the offensive firepower of the Granada team has dropped a lot, and it is naturally more difficult to break through the goal of the Paris Saint-Germain team.

The Paris-Germain team's offensive firepower this time is sharper and smoother.However, after the Granada team injured Maitaki, Damian, who had just transferred, was too late to play, and the ability to replace the full-back was much worse, which caused a loophole in the originally solid defense.

It was the discovery of this weakness in Granada's defense that Paris Saint-Germain's Mbappe began to storm here.Originally, McTakey had a hard time defending Mbappé, but after changing to a more powerful latent player, he couldn't defend at all.Mbappe rushed to the left of the Granada team as if he was in no one's land, and continued to create murderous intentions in the penalty area.

It was because he discovered that Mbappe was too lethal that Yan Feng had to transfer positions with Lin Fan for reinforcements.

A large part of Yan Feng's energy was spent on reinforcements on the side road, which made him also restrained there.If it weren't for the extremely tenacious performance of teammates in other areas, the Granada team might be able to withstand the home team's offense.

In terms of the situation, the Granada team, which needs to score goals, is at a disadvantage, which is really unfavorable to them.And that was true throughout the first half.

The only good thing is that they didn't let Paris Saint-Germain score in the first half.But they didn't score either.Therefore, after the end of the first half of the game, the faces of the Granada team did not look very good.

After a break, Yan Feng and his teammates started the second half of the game with solemn expressions.

In the second half, Granada could not let the situation of the first half repeat itself.So, they made changes.They need a stronger offense, even if it is against Paris Saint-Germain.

After the game restarted, the Granada team raised their formation and attacked more resolutely.

As the home team, Paris Saint-Germain was also dissatisfied with not scoring in the first half.They also threw themselves into the offense as hard as they could.

In this way, the second half became a confrontation from the beginning.

Playing against each other is actually more beneficial to the Paris Saint-Germain team.And that's true of the game.After the originally disorganized Granada team opened up their formation and increased their attack, the defensive space will inevitably increase accordingly.This gives Neymar and Mbappe a greater chance of assaulting strong players.

Attacking out, the greater the loopholes, the greater the danger.This forced Yan Feng to focus on defense.Yan Feng galloped left and right, blocking bullet holes everywhere, which prevented the goal guarded by Ochoa from being pierced for the time being.

The danger of Granada's defense is increasing, but they can't give up the offense, they can only grit their teeth and persist, to see if they can score first.As long as you score a goal, your destiny can be in your own hands.But all this is easier said than done.

With 10 minutes to go, Granada's formation was pushed back after Paris Saint-Germain came close a few times.

Paris Saint-Germain's attack is more dangerous and closer to goal than Granada's.In this case, the Granada team naturally cannot insist on attacking.Just one more goal and Granada would be on the verge of being eliminated, and it would be almost impossible to pull back.

Being forced to reduce offense and invest in defense instead is a big blow to the Granada team, which is in desperate need of goals.

"Huh~huh~" Yan Feng panted heavily.Before that, he almost used one person as two people.But even if it is so desperate, it still can't stop Paris Saint-Germain from bringing murder to its own goal.

No matter how strong Yan Feng is, he is only one person. He can restrain a Mbappe, but he can't reach Neymar who thinks otherwise.

Although the full-back over there is Dabir, who is also a former Barcelona player with Neymar.Up Bill still can't limit Neymar.If it wasn't for Darbier's tenacity and Lin Fan's support, Neymar would have been smashed to pieces long ago.But this is the case, and Neymar still got a lot of opportunities.

It is said that the goalkeeper of the weak team, Ochoa, a well-known goalkeeper in the past, saved a few threatening shots of Neymar today.

Although these teammates in the defense are facing such heavy pressure, under the leadership of Yan Feng, they seem to be in a good state of mind.

But when Yan Feng turned his head to look at the offensive players who were forced to retreat, he found that the teammates who were responsible for the offense looked very solemn, and even seemed to have lost confidence in the game.

"Brothers, hold on, as long as there is still time in the game, we will have a chance to score." Yan Feng had to encourage his teammates on the front line.

Yan Feng didn't know how much effect his words could have.After finishing speaking, he turned his head and devoted himself to defense.Paris Saint-Germain strikes again.

Seeing that the Granada team was pushed back, the morale of the Paris Saint-Germain team was soaring.It used to have the advantage of away goals, and now it has the upper hand in the game, which made Paris Saint-Germain's confidence in winning the game reach its peak.

The surging momentum of the Paris Saint-Germain team, under the fanatical shouts of victory from the home fans, is about to swallow the Granada team like a tiger descending from the mountain.

Yan Feng felt the greatest pressure since this game.With such a powerful aura, the opponent might overwhelm them.

With the support of a strong momentum, the Paris Saint-Germain team really attacked like a tiger.The Granada team intercepted in the midfield and couldn't stop it.

The ball hit Mbappé's feet again, and Yan Feng hurried over to defend.

Facing Yan Feng's reinforcements, Mbappe was extremely confident this time.Even if he was flanked by two people, he still dared to make moves.

Yan Feng took strict precautions, but this time he still couldn't show Mbappé to death.It turned out that Mbappe used a pass through to rush past teammate Fokowell.

Yan Feng crossed Focowell and desperately chased Mbappe, but Mbappe's speed was so fast that he couldn't catch up for a while.When Yan Feng caught up, he failed to block Mbappe's bottom cross.

Yan Feng looked into the penalty area following Mbappe's pass, and his whole heart was instantly entangled.

The quality of Mbappe's cross is extremely high, and the route of the fast low-level ball flight is between the goalkeeper and the defender, making it impossible for Ochoa to stop it halfway.And Neymar and Cavani are quickly outflanking, and it seems very likely that the defender will grab the point first.

"It's over. It's over!" This is the only voice in Yan Feng's mind.He closed his eyes in some pain, he didn't want to see the ball being hit by the opponent into his own goal.

As long as this goal is scored, Granada must score two goals to come back from the dead.But in this situation, it will be impossible to succeed.

A sense of frustration of wanting to fail began to flood Yan Feng's mentality.

Yan Feng thought that he would soon hear cheers resounding all over the world, but after waiting for a while, he didn't hear the cheers. Anyway, he heard another sound of regret that made him a little happy.

Sound of regret?Could it be~
Yan Feng opened his eyes expectantly.Sure enough, he didn't see the opponent who was celebrating crazily, but saw the look of joy on the faces of Ingarson and others who had escaped.And Neymar and Cavani, who are not communicating very friendly.

I copied it, and I really escaped.Yan Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

The opponent's two outflanks are in place, and the ball that is obviously going to grab the point has not been scored?Yan Feng was particularly surprised.Depending on the situation, the opponent did grab the ball, but I don't know whether it was Neymar or Cavani who wasted an almost empty goal.

And soon, Yan Feng knew what was going on from the back defense on the screen on the sidelines.

It turned out that the opponent really grabbed the ball.It was Cavani who grabbed the point, and Neymar, who was beside him, arrived almost at the same time.This is very good double ghost knock.Only this time, Cavani didn't know what was going on, and showed off his footwork again, and hit the goal with his heel.

In the past, Cavani did score in the best goal collection.It's just that his luck seems to be a little bit bad today. His impeccably beautiful kick hit the post and rolled out of the baseline.

"I'll go." Yan Feng secretly wiped his sweat.This ball is really only a little bit of luck to become a world-class goal.I almost became the background board.

Once this kind of ball is scored, it will be a world wave, but if it is not scored.No~ Neymar is questioning Cavani angrily.It's just that Cavani doesn't seem to take it seriously.The communication between the two was not very friendly.

Seeing that the two were arguing, Yan Feng had no intention of stepping forward to persuade them.Instead, he thanked the other party in his heart.

The Granada team was lucky to escape, and this ball made Yan Feng and the others feel that their luck was not bad.This stopped the depression psychologically.

And Paris Saint-Germain seems to have been adversely affected by it.Especially the conflict between Neymar and Cavani.This also made the two of them less responsive in the following games, and even went so far as to fight for success, preferring to fly the ball instead of passing the ball to each other.

The Paris Saint-Germain team fell into a state of weak offense.And their coach Emery, although a little angry about this situation, does not seem to have a way to change this situation.And it's hard to make a decision to replace one of them.

In this way, the Granada team turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and they also got a respite under the self-destructive force of the Paris Saint-Germain team.Then there was a chance to counterattack.

After seeing the Paris Saint-Germain team's offensive chaos, Yan Feng also went all out to participate in the attack.His addition also doubled the offensive threat of the Granada team.

The situation was reversed, and the Granada team in turn suppressed the home team.They began to press heavily and made frequent threats.

In view of this situation, coupled with the fact that time has slowly entered the end of the game, Emery also turned Paris Saint-Germain into a shrinking defense.

Granada started to have the upper hand on paper.But Paris Saint-Germain didn't just sit there.In offense, Neymar and Cavani will ignore each other, but they also understand the importance of promotion, and they are quite active in defense.

Granada failed to score on several attempts, with Paris Saint-Germain defending aggressively and tenaciously.Even Yan Feng took a few violent long-range shots but still failed to score.

Time kept passing.First 90 minutes run out and then stoppage time.

Yan Feng took the ball and struggled to pass Rabiot, and then forced his morale and shot angrily.The ball flew away like a cannonball.It's just that the towering staff in front of him made him unable to find any shooting angle.

When the ball went slightly out of the goal range, Yan Feng squatted down dejectedly.This was the last chance for the Granada team, but this time he failed to bring the team a goal.

Granada didn't score, Paris Saint-Germain didn't score either, the game ended 0-0.
The Granada team retreated from the Parc des Princes, but they couldn't cheer, it was the opponent who cheered.

Paris Saint-Germain advanced and Granada was eliminated.Unbeaten and defeated, the Champions League journey stops here.
