Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 511
Won Athletic Bilbao, but for Granada, they just passed a difficult time.

Next, they will soon face another difficulty.Three days later, they will go to England to participate in a Champions League game.The opponent is the biggest enemy in this group - Chelsea.

The Granada team is more difficult this time.Modric and others who went to participate in the national team game could not make it back in time.And they are still playing away games.The difficulties are greater than ever.

On the day of the game, many Chelsea fans poured into the Stamford Bridge Stadium.This is a UEFA Champions League game, and coupled with the popularity that the old horse has brought to the Granada team this year, even if everyone knows that the Granada team can only play in the disabled team, this game is still very attractive.

In fact, the Chelsea team was very unconvinced when they lost to Granada in the last match.They always think that they should be more worthy of victory.For them today, it is all about revenge.And it must be slaughtered severely.

So, the Chelsea team, which almost occupied the stands today, came to see that the Granada team was brutally killed by the home team.After all, the current strength of the Granada team is not even as good as the Karabakh team in the eyes of the outside world.

The Karabakh team has been beaten by 5 goals, and the Granada team can at least not be less than this number.That's the general sentiment among Chelsea fans.

In such an unfavorable situation, there is a situation that makes Yan Feng and others very happy.That is, hundreds of fans came to cheer them on.

Some of these rare fans came from Granada, but more of them were not local Chinese fans in London.Those Chinese fans were actually Chelsea fans in the past, but today they have all turned into Granada fans.

There are fans to cheer, which is a rare support for the worried Granada team, so that they will not feel alone and helpless.

As for this game, to be honest, even Yan Feng felt a little lack of confidence.His ideal view of this game is that it is best not to lose.

A draw, that is Granada's goal for this game.Don't think that they are not motivated and do not want to make progress.This is a more pragmatic goal put forward by the coaching staff after comparing the advantages and disadvantages of various aspects.

Everyone understands that they will be in a very disadvantageous situation this time, so the players support the coaching staff's statement.If the coaching staff said that the game was going to be won, most people would say that the coaching staff thought too much.

Pragmatic goals naturally require a pragmatic approach.In this game, the Granada team decisively discharged 451, a defensive formation that is less used now but more realistic.

As for Chelsea, it is naturally their usual 343 formation.

After the game started, it was as everyone expected before the game.Chelsea lashed out at Granada at the start of the game without even a half-test.

Fortunately, the Granada team has long been psychologically prepared for this, and the coaching staff has arranged countermeasures to deal with this situation before the game.Therefore, the Granada team, which had been prepared for a long time, did not panic.Instead, he defended calmly.

At this time, the benefits of the game against Athletic Bilbao in the last league game were reflected.That game allowed Granada to see their true condition.That is, they have an excellent defense. Even if there are a few main players missing, their defense is still difficult for opponents to break through.

Taking advantage of the home court advantage, Chelsea aggressively attacked and suppressed Granada in the backcourt in one fell swoop.However, the Granada team led by Yan Feng and Lin Fan was still tenacious, and the Chelsea team attacked wildly for nearly 10 minutes, but they were unable to achieve the desired results.

After gaining a firm foothold, the Granada team also began to launch a limited counterattack.Under the patient organization of Yan Feng and Lin Fan, the Granada team also got some chances to hit the goal.It's a pity that it was wasted by Kravitz and others.

The collective absence of frontcourt attackers has a really big impact.Kravitz did not play much due to more injuries last season.Sandor has been so good this season that Kravitz hasn't played much.In today's game, Kravitz looked really average.

The first half of the game basically looked like this.Chelsea had an absolute advantage on the scene, but under the tenacious defense of Yan Feng and others, they had no choice but to score.The Granada team failed to grasp the occasional counterattack opportunity when Kravitz and others were in poor condition.

In the end, the first half was a handshake between the two sides.

Didn't even score a goal in the first half.This is acceptable to the Granada team, but it is very bad for the Chelsea team eager for revenge.

Therefore, after the start of the second half, Chelsea launched a more violent offensive and kept the rhythm at a very high level.This put Granada in a very difficult situation.

At the beginning, under the leadership of Yan Feng, the Granada team was still able to keep the goal.And occasionally there is a chance to fight back to contain it.

But at 54 minutes, Aslan was injured in a fight.Had to make substitutions.With no one available, Pirlo sent Mehad, who had just been promoted to the first team this year.

Mehad, who played in the Champions League for the first time, was extremely excited and played very actively.It's just gradually getting a little too active.

Originally, Mohad didn't have a good understanding with the old players. Pirlo asked him to come up because he wanted him to attack if he had a chance, and to participate in defense if he didn't have a chance.

But Mehad was still able to participate in the defense at the beginning, and slowly stood in a relatively forward position. It seemed that he was waiting for his teammates to defend the ball and then kicked him to counterattack.

In fact, it's nothing like that, it's just that he only cares about showing off his skills whenever he has the opportunity.In the end, every time, the counterattack opportunity that the teammates finally defended was quickly squandered.

If there is no threat in the counterattack, the opponent cannot be restrained, so that the opponent can attack unscrupulously.Conversely, the opportunity to fail to attack also hit the morale of the Granada team.

In the 69th minute, it was Mehad who disregarded the overall situation and quickly lost the ball.With the ball conceded so quickly, Chelsea could immediately attack again.The Granada team was unable to immediately establish a defensive formation, and was forced by Arza.

Arza's excellent ability to break the defense made the Granada team's defense chaotic. Rao Yan Feng tried his best to make up for the leak, but in the end it was hard to beat four punches with two hands.Chelsea used a set of exquisite coordination to penetrate the defense and Morata scored the ball.

0:1, behind.All of a sudden, it dealt a severe blow to Graner's barely maintained spirit.

If you fall behind, you often need to attack, but the Granada team is more defensive than offensive.They were simply unable to level the ball.This puts Granada in a bind.

For this reason, Yan Feng was furious.He was so angry that he scolded Mahad.But Mohad felt that Yan Feng was taking the opportunity to retaliate against him.

Of course, after being taught a lesson by Yan Feng, Mohad didn't dare to act like before.But it was too late.

The momentum of the leading Chelsea team rose to its peak.They took advantage of the situation and continued their onslaught, leaving the Granada team struggling.

The demoralized Granada team struggled to defend, and dangers began to appear frequently.With Yan Feng's left block and right support, no more goals were conceded for the time being.It can be seen that the situation may widen the gap at any time.

In this case, Yan Feng desperately wanted the team to launch a counterattack to relieve the pressure.It's a pity that the attackers were unable to pose a threat to Chelsea's defense.Especially after coming out, after Mohad wasted with a non-threatening long-range shot, Yan Feng was desperate.

His teammates shot wildly, and Yan Feng, who couldn't bear it, decided to come by himself.After working hard to defend against a wave of onslaughts, Yan Feng followed Lin Fan and launched an attack.

Yan Feng and Lin Fan's tacit understanding and quick cooperation made them successfully rush to the front of the restricted area this time.Under the tough defense of the Chelsea team, Yan Feng took the lead and finished the goal.Unfortunately, his shot went slightly wide of the goal.

Yan Feng's goal posed a threat to Chelsea's goal for the first time in the second half.Conte, who had already planned, immediately asked Chelsea to make targeted adjustments.

After Yan Feng and Lin Fan made a threat, they were quickly deployed by the Chelsea team.Although they were still tenacious and resolutely attacked when they had the opportunity, they were unable to create more threats after being besieged by heavy troops.

Yan Feng and Lin Fan still wanted to continue to attack, but after the defense was almost broken again, they had to withdraw.

It is very difficult to score a goal to bring the score back.But they can't let the defense fall again.In this way, they can only count on Kravitz and others.But these attackers on the field, when the team is in a disadvantageous situation, have no ability to turn the tide.

In the end the game was lost.With Yan Feng unable to advance or retreat, neither he nor Lin Fan had the ability to turn the tide.

Defeating England, Granada tasted the first defeat in the Champions League.

After losing the game, Yan Feng was very disappointed.The Chelsea team, which won the game, was also a little disappointed.They failed to avenge the Granada team with a big score, and they felt that it was not cool enough.But the defensive ability of the Granada team, they also admitted that it is impossible to kill a big score.

It's just that the Chelsea fans are really not that happy.They have been saying before the game that they must kill Granada with a big score.Now they have only won one goal and they feel very disappointed.

The Granada team lost the game, and naturally felt a little depressed.However, the fans understand the away loss by a small score.For the Granada team, the immediate difficulties have finally passed.

In the absence of major generals, it is already very good to achieve one win and one loss.Next, Modric and others came back, and the Granada team returned to its strongest state.
