Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 528 The road to the championship is not smooth
What happened to Atletico Madrid is not particularly important to Yan Feng.After all, after this game, they will not meet again this season.But if Atletico Madrid sinks like this, there will be one less competitor behind the Granada team.

With the victory against a strong enemy, the spirit of the Granada team has also returned.Some time ago, Modric, who seemed to be in a bad mood, returned to his face with a confident and calm smile.

In other words, Modric is the biggest contributor to winning Atletico Madrid in this game.Because the three goals were all related to him, one goal was planned by him, and the two goals were directly assisted by him.

With such a good performance, Yan Feng believes that the offensive commander who planned the strategy is back again.In the next game, the Granada team will once again show that kind of quicksilver-like gorgeous offense.

Yan Feng is very happy when he thinks that the team will be fully fired in the future.

However, this kind of firepower is fully fired, but he will be absent.Because he needs to return to China to lead the Chinese team to compete in the four-year Asian Cup.Although there are international match days during this period, it is still inevitable to miss some Granada games.You must know that the goal of the Chinese team in this Asian Cup is the championship. If it is really practical, it will miss more club games.

Fortunately, Granada will not face Real Madrid or Barcelona until Yan Feng ends the Asian Cup.Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

"The team will be handed over to you. Magic Flute." Yan Feng handed the captain's armband to Modric before leaving the team.

"Don't worry. When you come back, our team will still be a championship team." Modric said confidently.

Yan Feng returned home with peace of mind.Modric's calmness, Yan Feng believes that he will not disappoint him.In fact, Yan Feng felt that if he left the team temporarily, Modric would definitely be more excited.He always felt that Modric hoped to take a team that belonged entirely to him to fight and win the championship.His prestige in the Granada team is still something that Modric cannot grab.

Yan Feng returned to China to participate in the Asian Cup, and Lin Fan also had to return to China to play.Without these two midfielders, although the Granada team still has several good substitutes, this is bound to make the team's championship road more uneven.

Granada's road to the championship is not smooth, and the same is true for the Chinese team's Asian Cup championship.

As the Asian seed team, the Chinese team will not encounter strong enemies such as Japan, South Korea, Australia and Iran in the group stage.But once they enter the knockout stage, it is certain that the venue will be a tough battle.

When Yan Feng and Lin Fan returned home, they were naturally enthusiastically welcomed by the fans.With the two of them's current fame, these situations were already expected, so there was nothing special about them.

Due to time constraints, Yan Feng didn't have much time to go to Shenzhen to greet a group of acquaintances this time.He went directly to the national team to report.

Since this Asian Cup is held in China, Yan Feng has to travel a lot less.

The match was held in China, and with the current popularity of Chinese football, it goes without saying that the fans were enthusiastic.This is bound to be an extremely successful session.

The group stage will be played within 10 days.As the host, playing three games in a row within 10 days always consumes less energy than other teams.This is a more favorable aspect.

It is also because the Asian Cup is held in China, and domestic fans are bound to win the championship.Today's fans no longer accept results other than championships.

Since participating in so many Asian Cups, the Chinese team has never won a championship.This time will be the best time to win the championship since 2004.

Must win at home.This became the biggest goal of the Chinese team, and naturally became the biggest pressure.

This time it was Mr. Lippi who led the team.However, compared with the team that participated in the World Cup last year, many old faces no longer appear.This is an extremely young Chinese team.

Just because the team is young, the team's ability to resist pressure is not as good as other teams.Veterans such as Yan Feng and Feng Xiaoting have become important candidates to stabilize the morale of the army.

As the captain, 28-year-old Yan Feng naturally took on the burden of a "veteran" without hesitation.During the competition, he acted as both a father and a mother, setting up a worry-free rear for the younger generations.

Yan Feng and Feng Xiaoting are the main players in the midfield and backcourt, allowing the young Chinese team to display their youthful and frivolous talents.

Three opponents in the group stage: North Korea, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia.None of these three teams is particularly strong, and none of them is weak.

In the three games of this group stage, the performance of the Chinese team was not very stable.Nor did he slaughter all opponents as unstoppably as fans expected.In every game, the Chinese team played a little bit.None of the games were clean sheets.The process of the game is also ups and downs, sometimes even in a backward situation.Fortunately, the last three games were won.

The North Korean team is tough and tough, daring to fight and fight hard, and it is not easy to admit defeat.Lin Fan scored the winning goal in the second half after the Chinese team played against the North Korean team for most of the halftime.

The Saudi team is very strong, and the individual abilities of the players are also outstanding.This created a lot of trouble for the young Chinese team.In the end, Feng Xiaoting killed the opponent with a header from a corner kick by the Chinese team in the second half.

The UAE team is the team that caused the most trouble to the Chinese team in the three group matches.The Chinese team even fell behind the UAE team for a time.However, at the end of the second half, the Chinese team fought hard, and the young Liu Ruofan scored an equalizer goal, and finally Lin Fan killed the game with a free kick.

From being behind to turning defeat into victory, it can be said that the process is quite thrilling.However, such an experience has worn down the Chinese team instead.It can be seen from the more stable the team is playing and the young players daring to score goals, the Chinese team is getting better and better.

In the three games of the group stage, Yan Feng actually assumed the responsibility of nanny.Once the team is not in danger of failing, he will give the stage to the younger players to perform.But when the outside world is worried about the ups and downs of the Chinese team, he is actually the most stress-free one.

These three games are of little significance to Yan Feng.However, the final game against the UAE aroused some emotions in him.Because he met an old opponent again.Omar was, and still is, the Bay Messi.

Omar is still so light as an elf, and he performed very well.One goal behind the Chinese team was his free kick.

What Yan Feng feels is not that Omar is still so strong, but that he is still at the level when he went to Europe.

pity!

This is Yan Feng's biggest evaluation of Omar after this game.After the game, the two also exchanged jerseys.After Yan Feng exchanged jerseys, he saw an extremely complicated emotion in Omar's eyes.

Envy, unwillingness, helplessness, regret, and even other emotions.Yan Feng felt that all these emotions converged to the end, leaving only a sigh.

This made Yan Feng feel that he left R&F back then.If he didn't come out back then, but stayed at R&F, he might have won many championships and won many Asian Footballer of the Year awards.But in the end, he must have the same look!

Fortunately, I came out with all my heart to make a breakthrough back then!
Let those emotions go.Look back to the Chinese team.

Although the group stage won three games and three wins, it also honed the team very well.But there is still bad news for the Chinese team.In fact, in the second game against Saudi Arabia, the top striker of the Chinese team, Wuqiu Wang, was injured and retired from the game.After inspection, he will not be able to contribute in the following Asian Cup games.

The road to the championship is really not smooth, and there will be more and more difficulties.The next knockout round requires the dedication of a new generation of players.
