Chapter 360 The Flying Eagle
This script is not wrong, but very wrong.
Granada didn't seem to have any of the caution that visitors should have.Without even being tempted, he turned against the customer.
Such a situation is not appropriate for the fans on the scene to shout that the script is wrong, and even many professional broadcast hosts shouted that it was unexpected.
"Granada's pace is so fast and the momentum is quite amazing. This is something we didn't expect before the game. They don't look like they are under any pressure away from home. On the contrary, the APOEL team at home seems to be under a lot of defense. pressure."
For the surprise of others, the supporters of the Granada team are naturally happy. "This is the Granada team we are familiar with. Last season we relied on such fearless momentum and fighting spirit to climb from the relegation zone to No.5."
"Today's Granada team looks a little different from the previous La Liga games. Judging from the analysis of the previous games, the Granada team is a stable and conservative style that focuses on defense. But the Granada team in front of them is too It's aggressive."
That's right.Today's Granada makes everyone feel extremely aggressive.The aggressiveness of some teams is reflected in the offense, but the aggressiveness of the Granada team is more reflected in the almost breathless active defense, and the subsequent resolute offense.
The situation on the court was completely controlled by the Granada team. Under their strong pressure, the very penetrating ground coordination of the APOEL team could not be played at all.
Every time the APOEL team wants to advance past the half, it will face great difficulties.Even after halftime, what was in front of them was a desperately strong steel defense line.
During this period of time, the entire tactical action of the Athletic Greek team was almost abolished.It is difficult to organize a threatening attack if you want to attack, as long as you make a mistake, your opponent will slap your face with a stormy offensive.If it weren't for their goalkeeper Pardo's bravery, their goal might have been broken in less than 10 minutes.
When the game came to about 15 minutes, the Granada team finally slowed down.
It is impossible to maintain a fast-paced and high-intensity game all the time.Not to mention that the physical strength is extremely exhausted, and the spirit cannot be maintained.Moreover, at this time, the Athletic Greek team gradually recovered from the state of being kicked in a daze.If you continue to do that, not only will it be difficult to achieve further results, but you may also have unforgivable loopholes due to greater physical exertion.
APOEL was relieved as Granada recovered from their high-spirited form.Even so, the Granada team has suppressed the spirit and momentum of the home team APOEL.In terms of morale and momentum, the Granada team is already in an active advantage.
The rhythm gradually slowed down, but the Granada team still did not show any flaws in terms of defense and offense.Facing such an opponent, although APOEL wanted to take advantage of the home field advantage, they couldn't find a chance at all.
Not being able to find an opportunity is more damaging to morale than being stunned by a surprise attack.What could be more desperate than the fact that the reality is not only not as expected, but also makes you feel helpless?
On the other hand, the Granada team has slowed down the rhythm and confrontation intensity, but they have a more layered and rhythmic sense of offense and defense.
All aspects have created advantages. In this case, the arrival of goals seems to be a matter of course.
In the 305th minute of the game, Pereira's inside shot was saved by the goalkeeper, and Sandor, who followed him, made a supplementary shot.
1:0.
Granada took the lead away from home.This is a shot in the arm for the Granada team.This not only fulfilled their desire to fight for one breath, but also strengthened their confidence in defeating any opponent.
"This is our Granada. What about rookies? We are eagles who have just taken off, and even experienced birds will be our prey."
"We are in the lead. Brothers did a great job! Our strategy succeeded. Haha. We will win this game!" Yan Feng shouted excitedly when everyone gathered together in celebration.
"We must win!" Everyone raised their fists in the air and shouted loudly.
"How could this happen? What about the rookies we agreed to? Why did we get the first goal at home?" Looking at the Granada soldiers who were celebrating excitedly, the home fans couldn't accept it.It was enough to make them depressed that the team did not have the upper hand before.Now it is still behind, which is really shocking.
"Greeks, we will not give up! Greeks, we are not afraid of strong enemies!" After being hit, the home fans did not give up.The APOEL team is the pride of Cyprus football. They have encountered countless strong opponents, and they have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League only with the spirit of not giving up.Now they just don't see Granada as rookies anymore.They want to wake up the fighters on the field with their voices.
The APOEL players were frustrated and lost.The completely unexpected contrast of falling behind has shaken their confidence.At this time, they heard encouragement from the fans.The sound became louder and more shocking.
The confusion in the eyes of the APOEL players is dissipating.Their mouths were also chanting along with the shouts of the fans.As the shouted slogans became louder and louder, neatly.The fighting spirit of the APOEL players is back.
But after the re-kick-off, the momentum of the entire APOEL team became different.They began to become more determined and resilient both defensively and offensively.
And at this very same moment.For the Granada team, after celebrating the goal, coach Alcaraz decided to adjust the strategy for the next game.
"Hold on, boys. Don't rush to attack, we have to keep the lead."
"Stop pressing up and defend first."
Although Yan Feng wanted to fight his opponent to the end, but the head coach asked, so he just followed the head coach's idea.
"Brothers, the coach asked us to strengthen our defense. Everyone, pay attention to your position and don't give your opponent any chance." Yan Feng called his teammates to stand in their positions.
"Understood. We won't give them a chance." Samper replied with a smile.Although he is a midfielder, in Alcaraz's tactical system, he also needs to be involved in defense when strengthening the defense.
According to Alcaraz's meaning, strengthen the interception of the midfield and the backcourt, and carry out a layered overall defense.Although it is not as oppressive as the high-pressure frontcourt press at the beginning of the game, the aggressiveness of the midfield defense led by Yan Feng is also undiminished.
The seemingly more solid defense has greatly hindered the APOEL's offense.But sometimes football games are just that weird.Once a team's momentum and mentality rise, the combat effectiveness shown will explode in steps.
As the Granada team strengthened their defense, their investment in offense was relatively reduced, which eased the pressure on APOEL's defense to a certain extent.This, in turn, also boosted the confidence of the Greek Athletic team.Especially after the offensive has been strengthened and the number of offensives has increased, they have been greatly encouraged.
Granada's defense remained solid, but opponents did start to pose more and more threats to their goal.Even for a period of time, APOEL had the momentum to suppress them.Fortunately, Yan Feng managed it with a few unreasonable tough defenses.
"Come on, Greeks! Break through their goal." The enthusiasm of the home fans was also high. Seeing that the home team began to create a threat, they all used greater cheers to look forward to the arrival of the goal.
Unfortunately, they met the Granada team.Their defense is stronger and more solid than their offense.Especially when they strengthened their defense, even Real Madrid, who were playing at home, had difficulty finding too many opportunities.Not to mention the APOEL team?
The home fans were still disappointed.Until the end of the first half, Granada, the away team, still defended as hard as a city wall, allowing the APOEL team to fail several times.
Granada walked into the dressing room with a one-goal lead.
"Not only did you do a great job of completing my setup, but you also took the upper hand early in the game and scored the goal unexpectedly. It was good, I am very satisfied with your performance in the first half. I hope you will continue in the second half. Keep up the good work. Keep our first Europa League victory. That is very meaningful." After returning to the locker room, Alcaraz first commented on the first half.From the language of others, it can be seen that he is very satisfied with the team's performance in the first half.
"For the second half, my first request was to secure a clean sheet."
Yan Feng frowned slightly.In his opinion, this sentence means to pay attention to defense in the second half.To be honest, he still has different views on this relatively conservative strategy.He has absolutely no problem with the tactics of strengthening defense and counterattacking against giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona.
But today's Athletic Greek team, in Yan Feng's opinion, is not strong enough for the Granada team to defend and counterattack.
"To win, often only one is enough. Of course, it is best to score more. However, we are playing away today, and you caught your opponent by surprise before. Now, from the end of the first half At that time, I saw that the opponents had already adapted. If they were behind, they would definitely attack violently in the second half. Therefore, our first task in the second half is to withstand their attack." Alcaraz began to arrange the tactics for the second half.
"Defensive counter attack. Just like you did in the previous few games. Use defense to kill their hope of scoring. Until the end of the game. Yan, reduce the number of forwards in the second half, there is a chance for Costa to impact, your body Defensively heavy. Sandel, cruising around the midfield, waiting for an opportunity; Pereira, you... everyone's responsibilities, do you understand?"
"clear."
"Very good. I have absolute confidence in your defense. Victory will belong to us." At the end, Alcaraz clenched his fist and shouted.
"Must win!" The players responded loudly.
After leaving the locker room, the game restarted.
Granada made adjustments at half-time, as did APOEL.Compared to Granada's strategy change, APOEL directly replaced a striker.A speed forward named Devincenti.
The Greek Athletic team has changed from the initial 442 formations to an extremely aggressive 433 formations.This fully reflects their determination to score goals.
As shown in the formation, after the start of the second half, APOEL launched a very violent attack.
Yan Feng and his teammates resisted desperately and kept the goal with tenacious fighting spirit.Although the home team failed to score a goal in a short period of time, they became very passive on the scene.
As time went on, the Granada team became more and more passive.Faced with the opponent's wave after wave of offense, Yan Feng can only hope that the head coach can come up with a countermeasure besides defending vigorously.
"Defend, keep an eye on the middle area."
"Yan, pay more attention to Costa's back."
"Longban, keep an eye on Sheridan, don't give him a chance."
Alcaraz kept directing the players on the field to defend from the sidelines.
Looking at the situation, Yan Feng can only find a way to maintain the line of defense.
It was difficult for Granada to fight back the threatening opponent's goal for a while, which allowed APOEL to fully devote itself to the attack.This makes the danger in front of the Granada team continue to appear.
"If you try harder, you will definitely score."
Such a situation made APOEL feel that as long as they add more, they will be able to break through Granada's goal.Therefore, the offensive they launched reached its peak.
When the game went on for 65 minutes, Granada had a dangerous crisis.
Athletic's continuous kicking and pulling at the front of the penalty area caused a loophole in Granada's defense.Kalou took the opportunity to make a straight pass into the penalty area.Efren, who was defended by Costa, used his speed to throw off the former and rushed into the penalty area.
As long as the ball allows Efron to get the ball, he can enter the penalty area and face the goalkeeper.It's just too dangerous.
Fortunately, Yan Feng, who was not far from Costa, rushed over desperately and got stuck in Efron before he entered the penalty area.
The result was an excellent opportunity for Yan Feng to redeem the Athletic Greek team with a yellow card.
Yan Feng also got his first yellow card in the European League.However, after the next free kick was missed by the home team's Efren, he felt that the card was worth it.
"It's not the way to go on like this."
Alcaraz, who was also aware of this, immediately made substitution adjustments.It's just that he replaced Costa, who had just missed out, with Kersin.
Counterpoint substitutions.It appears that Alcaraz has no intention of changing his current strategy.
The helpless Yan Feng could only find a way by himself.
After that, Yan Feng finally got his chance.Granada managed to defend against an APOEL attack and snatch the ball.
If it was before, under the approach of the home team, they would be very sad to form an attack.In order to relieve the defensive pressure with offense, Yan Feng decided that he needed to stand up.
"Give me the ball."
Yan Feng asked his teammates for the ball, and then faced the opponent who came up to press him, he just accelerated and passed.
After passing one, there are layers of opponents behind.However, this time, Yan Feng made up his mind to achieve a goal.
For this goal, what Yan Feng did was to speed up, speed up, and speed up again.An opponent who uses extreme speed to break through, so that the opponent has no time to perfect the defense.
"Yan, don't do it alone. Pass the ball!"
Alcaraz's shouting still failed to stop Yan Feng.Yan Feng simply rushed forward with speed.This simple and rude way exceeded the expectations of the home team.For a while, the defense line couldn't stand at all, and several players could only passively follow Yan Feng and run to the backcourt.
"Stop him!"
The Athletic Greek team saw Yan Feng rushing to the middle circle quickly, and some people even wanted to use fouls to stop Yan Feng's progress.
But Yan Feng didn't even give his opponent a chance to foul. He shot violently not far after passing the middle circle.
The quality of Yan Feng's ultra-long-range burst shot was not bad, and it hit within the door frame.It was just blocked by the goalkeeper.
"Huh~ I was almost scared. This Chinese man's long-range shot is really good. It's no wonder that he is called a 'Chinese tank'." Yan Feng's sudden counterattack this time shocked many home fans into a cold sweat.
It didn't go in this time, which is normal.It would be scary if such a long distance could be easily entered.However, Yan Feng was very satisfied with this.Because of his resolute counterattack this time, he brought defensive pressure to the opponent and also won a corner kick.This will greatly ease the defensive pressure on the Granada team.
The subsequent development of the game was due to Yan Feng's counterattack, which prevented the Athletic Greek team from attacking with all their strength.After the Granada team survived the most difficult stage, as the physical strength of the players on both sides declined, the APOEL's offensive continued to weaken and could no longer create a greater threat.
In the end, the Granada team successfully defended until the end of the game without allowing their opponents to score.
1:0. Granada brought a meaningful victory from the GSP Stadium.
Because of this complicated and difficult victory, the Granada team received new evaluations from the media after the game. "This is not a rookie, but an eagle taking off."
