Chapter 401 Good News
The game against Girona, the weakest team in La Liga, although the process of winning was difficult and ugly, it was won anyway.After scoring the three points that should have been scored, the Granada team was relieved.
The Granada team breathed a sigh of relief, but it was only a matter of a few days.Next, they have to face the difficult schedule of double matches a week.
The Copa del Rey begins.Although the Granada team only started playing in the top 32 because it is a first-tier team, but at this point in time, it was still during La Liga.
The top 32 of the Copa del Rey is a two-round knockout match, which will be combined with the league into two weekly double matches.But for Granada, it's more than that.The schedule of double matches a week does not end here, and there will be two matches in the European League group.In this way, it will be a month-long weekly double-match devil schedule.
As long as he thinks of this devil's schedule, Yan Feng's original good mood of winning is gone.Just thinking about it makes me tired.
Copa del Rey, La Liga, and Europa League, these three events followed one after another, and the current bench depth of the Granada team was simply unable to cope.
"Maybe it's time to selectively give up some games." This is Yan Feng's helpless thought when facing this schedule.
Undoubtedly, the top priority for the Granada team is La Liga and the European League.
Europa League, although the Granada team still has a chance to qualify.It can be required that they must win the next two games.A tie will be eliminated.Taken together, the possibility of qualifying is 50%.Human beings are all connected, whether they are Westerners or Easterners, they often attach great importance to foreign wars.Therefore, neither Yan Feng nor Pirlo as a coach are willing to give up.
As for the league, it is the foundation of every team, and it is necessary to strive for it with all our strength.
For the above reasons, after the Granada team communicated up and down, Pirlo chose to give up the Copa del Rey game.
Abandoning the Copa del Rey does not mean that the Granada team will abandon the game, but that they will not spend energy on this event.Give up the pursuit of the Copa del Rey and regard it as a game for the bench to hone.
Playing in the Copa del Rey with potential supplements, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose.Such a choice may be a helpless measure for the entire Granada team.But this is great news for latent and fringe players like Lin Fan who don't have much chance to play in the league.
Sure enough, when preparing for the Copa del Rey game, Pirlo directly made a big list based on potential players.And Lin Fan finally entered the Granada squad for the first time.
Lin Fan entered the roster for the competition, but he was not yet the starter.However, this was of extraordinary significance to Lin Fan.
This will be his very likely first appearance in an official game after going abroad.For this reason, in the pre-match training, Lin Fan showed unprecedented enthusiasm and enthusiasm.His eyes were full of excitement and desire to play all the time.
Facing Lin Fan like this, Pirlo agreed.For this reason, Pirlo also secretly told Yan Feng that he would definitely give Lin Fan a chance to play in this Copa del Rey match.And no less than 45 minutes of playing time.
This one is definitely good news.After Yan Feng passed the good news to Lin Fan, Lin Fan jumped up excitedly on the spot.Because of the excessive excitement, according to Lin Fan himself, it was difficult for him to fall asleep that night.
A few days later, Granada followed suit in a game that was abandoned internally.
This time, the opponent in the Copa del Rey is not a strong team, but a team from the second division of the West-Racing Real Santander.
Although Real Santander is a team in the Second Division, it should not be underestimated.Especially the Granada team played away in the first round.In addition, the Granada team chose to give up strategically.Therefore, to be honest in this game, the Granada team felt that there was a high possibility of losing.
As the main force, Yan Feng has to focus on the league, so he is naturally not on the roster for this game.Although he didn't enter the big list, he didn't need to go to Santander with the team.But in order to cheer for Lin Fan who might play, he chose to go with the team.
The game started quickly, and the Granada team sent a full submersible.I don't know if they received the news before the game, or they made their own judgments, but the Royal Racing Team of Santander dispatched all their main players.
Looking at this situation, Real Racing Santander is indeed full of desire to beat Granada.
As the game progressed, the Royal Santander Racing team, which played all the main players at home, did gain the upper hand.
The main formation of the Granada team has problems in offense, and it will not be much better when the sub-formation faces the West Second team.
Weak attack power is also the weakness of Granada's substitute team, making it very difficult for them to break through the defense of Real Santander.However, fortunately, Granada's bench is still very good defensively.Although they were at a disadvantage in the first half and took far fewer shots than their opponents, they still ensured that the goal was not lost.
After the halftime break, in the second half, Pirlo sent Lin Fan as he told Yan Feng.
But when Lin Fan came on stage, the kid excitedly knelt down and kissed the grass.
Seeing that Lin Fan finally played, Yan Feng cheered for him loudly in the stands. "Come on, Lin Fan. Let them see that we Chinese can play football well."
Seeing Lin Fan's excited look, Yan Feng was full of anticipation.To be honest, with Lin Fan coming to Granada for almost a month, he has gradually started to adapt.The current chance to play is a test for Lin Fan.If the performance is good, the opportunity to play in the league will also appear later.
Lin Fan who just played, probably because he was too excited or a little nervous, did not perform well at the beginning.Got a foul within 2 minutes of going up.
For Lin Fan like this, Pirlo still applauded him from the sidelines and encouraged him loudly.
As the game progressed, Lin Fan's big-hearted nature began to show.He gradually relieved the tension of playing for the first time, and began to let go of his hands and feet.
After fully devoting himself to the game, many of Lin Fan's characteristics began to show.Although the tacit understanding between him and his teammates is not very good, he has not lost the pace of the game in a short period of time.And over time, his playmaking, ballhandling and defensive abilities began to show.Coupled with his speed and running ability, he slowly began to become the most eye-catching player on the field.
The Granada team changed their lackluster offense in the first half, and under the mobilization of Lin Fan, they started to play some very threatening offenses.
Granada's disadvantage on the field has been reversed, and they are in a stalemate with Real Santander.
The game with offense and defense is still exciting.With the number of attacks on goal on both sides increasing, it looked like a goal could come at any time.
In the end, the Real Santander Racing team, which is still playing at home, has the advantage.In the 605th minute of the game, they caught Granada's mistake in the combination zone of the midfielder and frontcourt and succeeded in a quick counterattack.
0:1, Granada fell behind.
Such a result had already been expected by the Granada team before the game.But when this incident really happened, the Granada team still felt it was a pity.Especially when the second half was evenly matched.
Many people in the Granada team began to prepare to accept a loss.However, at this time, the substitute players on the field did not give up.In particular, Lin Fan started to cheer up his teammates. He imitated Yan Feng's usual way of saying words of encouragement in his half-baked and stumbling Spanish.
Seeing Lin Fan on the field, Yan Feng smiled.This kind of Lin Fan is the genius player Lin Fan he should know.
In the next game, under the leadership of Lin Fan, the Granada team began to fight back.Real Racing Santander's morale was boosted after the goal, and they didn't flinch, looking like they wanted to take advantage of the victory.
The two sides continued to compete on the field. In the 708th minute of the game, the Granada team got a free kick.A free kick with almost 30 meters from the goal.
At this time, Yan Feng saw Lin Fan standing up, standing in front of the football with a firm face.
"Come on, show off your free kick skills and let everyone see your scimitar arc."
In Yan Feng's expectations, Lin Fan did not disappoint him.Lin Fan blasted into the upper corner of the opponent's goal with a free kick with a beautiful arc.
1:1, Lin Fan helped the team equalize with a free kick.
"Well done, Lin Fan!" Yan Feng shouted excitedly, looking at Lin Fan who was celebrating excitedly on the field, he was as happy as he scored the goal.
In the following game time, the equalized Royal Racing Santander was also unwilling to win the victory, and they launched a fierce attack.
The morale of the Granada team that equalized the score was greatly boosted. Under the leadership of Lin Fan, they steadfastly withstood the fierce attack of the home team.And finally kept the score of 1:1 until the end of the game.
A draw, though less gratifying than a victory.But in a game that was strategically abandoned and set to lose, it was a pleasant surprise to get such a result.Especially in a two-legged away draw, goals are an advantage.
For the team, the draw was a pleasant surprise.But for Lin Fan who scored a free kick, it was an even more joyful event worth celebrating.
Lin Fan was praised by Pirlo after the game for this goal and his good performance after playing.
In the first official competition after going abroad, it is very good to have a good performance.There is still a goal, which is definitely good news for Lin Fan.
Yan Feng believes that after this game, the pressure on Lin Fan to join the team due to his high status will be greatly relieved.This is a good start, and he believes that Lin Fan will show his extraordinary talent from this day on.
