Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 550 Good Start
Winning the championship is another new history for the Granada team.Yan Feng and his teammates won another fairly decent championship.This is an excellent start, and they are naturally very happy.

After winning the Super Cup, Granada's morale has been well restored due to the negative impact of the previous team's discomfort caused by the team's transformation.

As soon as this morale is restored, it naturally means that the players have begun to truly accept Mourinho's tactical style.

In addition to the Super Cup and two rounds of La Liga, the Granada team has achieved four good results.Definitely a great start.

"At the beginning of last season, our team started very well. It is the same now, and we still won the Super Bowl. We are already the double champion this year."

"Haha, we have also become double champions. I feel proud when I think about it."

"Come on, let us also taste the taste of the triple crown, or even the quadruple and five crowns!"

As Granada fans saw yet another champion in their arms, one by one they began to expect more.

So far, Mourinho can be regarded as a complete foothold in the Granada team.His authority and mastery in the Granada team has also been strengthened.This will allow him to give full play to his commanding skills.

Next, the Granada team made persistent efforts and won the third round of La Liga at home.

Since the opponent in the third round of this league is a weak team-the Levante team in La Liga has returned.Therefore, Mourinho changed his favorite style of defense and counterattack, and set up the 4231 formation most commonly used by the Granada team in previous seasons.

This is for the players to play to their heart's content, and the offensive players of the Granada team are naturally happy and crazy.

After finally having such an opportunity to attack, the Granada team, under the leadership of Modric, bullied the Levante team 4:0.

In this game, Modric sent two assists, and Lin Fan also scored a goal.Three of the goals were split between the wingers 'Two Horses' and Sandel.

Seeing his teammates attacking recklessly, Yan Feng's desire to attack was also aroused.For the first time since the new season, he no longer defends full-time, and is very active in participating in the offense.It's just a pity that he didn't seem to score any goals this day.After several attempts, he failed to score a goal no matter he was fighting for a header or he was good at a violent long shot.This made him somewhat feel a little unsatisfied.

Because the opponent was weak, and Yan Feng stepped forward to participate in the attack after the team led by two goals, Mourinho let him do so.In the previous games, if Yan Feng couldn't hold back and wanted to step forward to participate in the attack, he would get a sentence: "Yan, just do your job well."

A hearty victory released some bad emotions of Granada's pressure.This does have a better impact on the next game of the Granada team.

After playing La Liga, the Granada team ushered in a more important, or should be said to be the most important game of the new season-the UEFA Champions League.

The Granada team played from the group stage. They are divided into Group C, and the first team player is the Greek Athletic team.

Athletic Greek This is an old acquaintance of the Granada team.The APOEL team from Cyprus was Granada's first opponent when it first participated in European competitions that year.

In the play-offs that year, the Granada team scored one goal each at home and away and eliminated their opponents.

Unexpectedly, this time, they would meet again in the Champions League.Yan Feng felt that they were related.

"It seems that we are not the only ones who have been making continuous progress. There are many other teams that are also growing." Yan Feng thinks that APOEL can be like Granada, from the Europa League play-offs to the present. The Champions League is also quite admirable to him.

In view of the completely defeated opponents back then, after meeting again, Yan Feng and other people who participated in the competition back then were in a good mood.

With a psychological advantage, the Granada team ushered in the Greek Athletic team at home.

Sure enough, the Athletic Greek team has grown a lot compared to that year, and its strength has become stronger in all aspects.It's a pity that the Granada team they are encountering now is also stronger than back then, and even stronger.

As a result, APOEL's hope of revenge could not be realized.

In any case, APOEL performed very well after the start of the game.Although they played away games, they were very tenacious, and the enthusiasm of the whole team was also extremely high.

As for the Granada team, under the coaching of Mourinho, facing such an important game, it is natural to defend and counterattack.

On his own home court, facing his weaker opponents, he still played a defensive counterattack. This is simply not giving the Greek Athletic team a way out.

Although different from last season's gorgeous attack, the Granada team is also very efficient in playing defensive counterattacks.Not to mention players like Yan Feng and Lin Fan who can seamlessly connect with defensive counterattacks.With Modric's quick transfer in the transition from offense to defense and the two fast horses on the side, once he fights back, he often has the power to break through.

After several efficient counterattacks, the Granada team took the lead in breaking the deadlock.They took a 1:0 lead.

Breaking the deadlock and speaking to other teams is the beginning of the situation.But for Mourinho's Granada team, it was actually the beginning of a real stalemate.

Different from the indulgence of the players in the league against the big teams, the more important game of the Champions League naturally does not expect that there will be a situation where you let go and play to your heart's content.

After taking the lead, according to Mourinho's request, Yan Feng led the team into the ranks of driving the bus.

In the end, the Greek Athletic team could only be defeated by 1 goal and left Granada depressed.

The new season's UEFA Champions League also won its first victory, which is very good and makes the Granada team very happy.

Ideal results have been achieved in all aspects and various matters. This is a perfect start.This is simply a good situation where the daily limit is set at the opening!
The results are good, but after experiencing Mourinho's tactical style, Lin Fan gave Mourinho a nickname.In the past, Mourinho was called "madman" or "magic bird" by the outside world.The nickname Lin Fan gave him is a bit more special.

"Old driver!"

Yan Feng agreed with the name of the old driver.Isn't a person who likes to play with the 'bus' so much an old driver?

Since then, Mourinho has become an "old driver" in the mouths of Yan Feng and others.After Sandor and the others heard Lin Fan's explanation of the name, they happily called it along.
