Chapter 339 Two warm-up matches
Chapter 339 A warm-up match
In the days that followed, most of the Granada players had a hard time.
Alcaraz said that the training plan had to be changed due to the poor physical condition of the players.But in fact, in the words of the coaching staff themselves, the original plan has not changed at all, but an additional special training plan for each player is added on that basis.
According to the physical condition of each player, a different training plan is carried out.In addition to the players completing their own training plan, the team's training is not lacking at all.With the continuous increase of training volume, many players trained Alcaraz like a tired dog.
Because, in the original training plan of Alcaraz, in order to improve the new season, the amount and intensity of training are quite high.In this way, even a tough guy like Longban couldn't complain.But all of this is the player asking for it.If you think that you have achieved unprecedented good results, you can indulge yourself.That's the price.
Of course, not all players are like this.At least players like Yan Feng and Sandel who are in very good physical condition don't need additional special training.They only need to complete the training arranged by the coaching staff.However, the two of them didn't relax because of this, and they who practiced extra on their own didn't suffer as much as others.
Except for Yan Feng and Sandel who are not required to be trained by the coach, the newcomers such as Costa are also in good physical condition.In contrast, these people should be said to be the most relaxed.
After a period of training, Long Ban and others finally adjusted their physical condition slowly.At this time, it is considered to enter the real preparations for the new season.
Yan Feng, who was promoted to captain, trained even harder.In his view, as a captain, one must lead by example.Because he is the captain for the first time, he needs to slowly explore what to do.Fortunately, the brothers in the team are more supportive of him.Everyone is willing to listen to what he said in the team.Gradually, Yan Feng also got used to the feeling of being the captain.
Everyone is willing to listen to Yan Feng's words, but not everyone is really convinced.Costa was secretly dissatisfied with Yan Feng, the captain.
Many times, Costa deliberately showed off his skills in front of Yan Feng during training.However, every time, Yan Feng admired it with an attitude similar to watching an acrobatic performance.Yan Feng will not be provoked, nor will he want to express himself because of it.As it was before, so it is now.
Yan Feng's attitude annoyed Costa, who wanted to challenge Yan Feng's captaincy.He wanted to use this to mock Yan Feng for being cowardly and cowardly, not daring to face the challenge.However, everyone reacted very flatly to Yan Feng's noncommittal appearance.It was so plain that Costa began to wonder if it was him.
Isn't the team the most particular about strength?That guy who was mediocre and extremely ordinary in training, came to be the captain, why did everyone have no opinion?Is that guy the illegitimate son of the team owner?
Costa couldn't find the answer in his doubts.However, he was not discouraged, and instead challenged Yan Feng to focus on the next warm-up match.
After half a month of training, the Granada team played a warm-up match with Levante.
Levante is a team that has just been promoted from West Second Division this year.Although Levante is a small club in Valencia, they have stayed in La Liga much longer than Granada.
Levante was relegated to La Liga in the 15/16 season, and it took only one season to return to La Liga.
In fact, in the previous season in La Liga, Levante performed better than Granada most of the time.In the seasons before Levante's relegation, Granada was struggling in the relegation zone, but Levante was basically at a mid-level level.
Therefore, don't look at Levante before being promoted back to La Liga.They are not at all inferior to Granada in terms of mentality.
Although the Granada team achieved an amazing No.16 in team history in the 17/5 season.But in the eyes of many teams, they just got a chance to enter the European League because of their luck.Regarding the strength of the Granada team, not many teams feel how strong it is.
At least for Levante, Granada is not a strong team.Even, they feel in their hearts that they are stronger than the Granada team.Before the start of the friendly match, many players in the Levante team thought that they might be able to get a place in the European League in the new season.
Therefore, not long after the warm-up match started, Levante showed great commitment.Not only did they send [-]% to [-]% of the main players to play, but they also played very vigorously.
But for Granada, it is obvious that it is treated with the attitude of playing a friendly match.What is a warm-up match?So the name Siyi is used to warm up and find the state.Therefore, in addition to sending Yan Feng and other main players on the central axis for Granada, the other players are either some players who need to be investigated or newly introduced players who need to be adjusted.
Granada, which is not even considered a semi-main player, did seem a little passive in the first period of time.It's either that the spiritual input is insufficient, or that the cooperation is not tacit.In this way, it looks a little passive on the scene.
Regarding the team's disadvantage, the head coach Alcaraz sat on the bench very calmly after carefully observing the opponent's formation on the field.
If the head coach can be calm, the players on the field may not be able to be calm.When the team is in a difficult situation, some people think that they need to stand up and carry the team.
The person who thinks he needs to stand up for himself is not Yan Feng.For the warm-up match, Yan Feng was really not very excited.Even when the team is at a disadvantage, it is still difficult for him to get motivated.Anyway, the warm-up match is mainly used to find problems, as long as he can stabilize the backcourt.There is no need to rush out and carry the team forward for the sake of winning or losing this game.
As the captain, and the new captain Yan Feng did not stand up.Who stood out?
The man who felt the need to stand up for himself was Costa.Secretly, he has always wanted to challenge Yan Feng's status, thinking that this is an opportunity to show his worth.
The way Costa stands up, this is to counter Levante with offense.And it's a way of attacking with the ball all the way.
To be honest, Costa's personal ability is indeed very good.His ball control is as strong as he usually shows.The opponent really can't guard against him one-on-one.Even if one or two people come over, they can't hold him.Costa's resolute assault drew cheers from his teammates on the sidelines after passing three players in a row.
The cheers from his teammates made Costa even more excited. For a while, he decided to solve the battle by himself.It is quite normal to start suddenly and pass some people in a row. There are many wonderful shots like this on the court.But in the face of a complete defense line, if you want to score goals with your own strength, the possibility of success is close to zero.Unless he is Messi.
It's a pity that Costa is not Messi, there is only one Messi in the world.The result was obvious, and in the end he was terminated by the Levante defender with a double ghost close.
Although Costa's assault this time was finally blocked because he insisted on going it alone.But this process fully demonstrated his excellent ability with his feet.
"Hehe, Costa's breakthrough ability is quite good. In the new season, I have another assaulter." Yan Feng, who stayed in the backcourt, watched the entire cutscene, and said to Longban not far behind him with some appreciation.
"This kid's breakthrough is pretty good. It's just that he is too independent. If he can observe the ball more around, he will find that Sandel is not far away to meet the running position." Longban pointed to the ball in front of him. Sandor was retreating.
"For the warm-up match, it's quite normal to show personal ability. As long as we can integrate into the team in the official game, our team's strength will be stronger this season." Yan Feng said nonchalantly.
"Let's make a wish. Now it's time for us to work." After Longban finished speaking, he stepped back quickly.
Next, Yan Feng quickly moved to the defensive position.
Levante launched a counterattack, but after encountering Granada's defense, their attack was greatly hindered.
Granada's defense has not changed much, and they are basically players from last season.Although they are not the main force, their familiarity with each other makes their defense very solid.In the end, Levante's attack failed to break through Granada's defense.
"Give it to me." Seeing his teammates successfully defending, Costa asked for the ball impatiently.
After the defenders gave Costa the ball, they moved forward accordingly and watched calmly as the latter rushed forward with the ball.
This time Costa is no longer as smooth as last time.After passing one, he was surrounded by the Levante defenders who started to notice him.
Levante counterattacked strongly, but still had nothing to do with Granada's defense, and finally ended with a long-range shot that was not threatening.
"Give it to me, let me do it." Costa continued to ask You to attack.This time he didn't do it himself, and started to cooperate with his teammates to attack.But in the end it failed.
"Give me the ball." Levante counterattacked to no avail, and Costa continued to ask for the ball.
"Give me"······
"Give me"······
Then, for a long time, the game became Costa playing the leading role.Attack fails, defend and counterattack, continue to attack, fail, attack again....Costa can be said to have stole the limelight, but to no avail.
Levante's offense also failed to score.But still threatened Granada's goal in several quick counterattacks.
The first half ended like this with neither side able to score.
After the restart of the second half, Costa remained positive.However, after the opponent has gradually adapted to his style, he was taught to be a man instead.
The two teams came and went, both attacked and defended each other, but failed to score.
But when the game reached more than 70 minutes, Costa was replaced by Alcaraz after a long shot failed.
Costa, who was replaced, was very unwilling. He stood on the sidelines for a long time and refused to leave, his face was full of expressions of intent to kill the enemy and unable to recover.He has worked very hard and wants to help the team win.But the teammates are not strong.
"Now that I have been replaced, what will the team do? Without me, the team uses offense instead of defense to withstand the opponent's offense? Without me, who else on the team will set an example? In the next game, the team Where should we go?"
While Costa was thinking hard in his heart, coach Alcaraz stood by his side.
Costa thought it was time for the head coach to comfort and encourage himself, but Alcaraz yelled at the field: "Yan, how long are you going to be lazy?"
Yan Feng, who was on the court, had no choice but to wave to the head coach to show that he understood. "Hey, it seems that I'm going to be lazy this time."
On the sidelines, Costa thought he had heard wrong.He looked at Alcaraz in surprise.After seeing Yan Feng's response, Alcaraz nodded in satisfaction.Then he turned his head, saw Costa's appearance, smiled quickly, and reached out to pat the latter's shoulder. "You were very active today."
"It's a pity that I have already ended. If ```"
"I saw your performance, go to rest now."
"But I worry that there is no ```"
"Okay, Costa. Don't worry, leave the field to your teammates. Go and rest."
"I, if ```" Costa still wanted to express his concern about the situation on the field, but Alcaraz had already turned around and returned to the bench, sitting there with a calm expression on his face.
Costa was a little confused. He couldn't understand why the head coach would be worried about the situation without him.
Bringing the puzzled Costa back to the bench and sat down.It quickly made him understand why Alcaraz was so calm.
In the next game, Yan Feng started to exert his strength.He frequently began to move forward to participate in the attack.As Yan Feng increased his participation in the offense, other players also increased their rhythm and speed.
The acceleration of this speed made Levante a little uncomfortable all of a sudden.They didn't expect that their opponent would suddenly change their tempo, and they would attack as fast as a tiger.The fast, violent and resolute attack stunned Levante in one fell swoop.
At the 80th minute, Yan Feng finally scored the first goal of the game with a cannonball-like long shot from outside the penalty area.
It was the first goal and the only goal of the game.After Yan Feng scored a goal, he felt a little unmotivated again.
However, after gaining momentum, Granada has an absolute advantage.Yan Feng gave all the next opportunities to his teammates, but unfortunately, his teammates were in a mediocre state, only blooming but not bearing fruit.
In the end, Granada beat Levante by 1 goal in this game.
It was just a warm-up match, and most of the Granada team seemed calm after winning the ball.Head coach Alcaraz also looked very calm.
Looking at his teammates, calm and calm expressions.Costa didn't know how to describe it.He turned his head to look at his opponents in this game, and the opponents were not much depressed after losing.Many people are still discussing indifferently.Someone was talking and laughing with the Granada players.
Costa was silent.
