Chapter 428 Challenge Atletico Madrid
Granada's first trip to Europe ended in the group stage.This is undoubtedly very disappointing to Yan Feng and others.Just as the Chinese attach great importance to the AFC Champions League, the Europeans also attach great importance to the European arena.It's already been done, and there's nothing else to do.We can only look forward to fighting again next year.
In the European League, failed to qualify for the group stage.But this is already a very good result for the Granada team participating in the first year.Moreover, the failure to qualify has two sides.
In terms of the overall strength of the Granada team, it is actually unable to cope with two-front combat, let alone three-front combat.Now that it's like this, it's not necessarily a bad thing.They can put all their energy into the competition for No.3 in the league.
No.3 in La Liga seems to be unreliable, but it represents the qualification to participate in the Champions League next season.That's the Champions League, not the Europa League.That is the top league among European clubs.
Speaking of No.3 in La Liga, we have to say that Atletico Madrid is currently occupying this position.
Atletico Madrid is still going strong this season.For most of the time so far, Atletico Madrid has sat firmly at No.3, and even climbed to No.2.
By the time of this round, Atletico Madrid is only five points away from the top Real Madrid team, and only 2 points away from the No.3 Barcelona team.With this gap, with five rounds left in La Liga, it is still possible to win the championship.
Granada is currently only 2 points behind Atletico Madrid in points.If Atletico Madrid can be won in this game, not only will they be able to overtake the No.3 position in one fell swoop, but it is also possible to compete for the championship.
Because of the above reasons, the La Liga match between Granada and Atletico Madrid.It will be the most critical battle that will determine the fate of the two teams.
The importance of this game cannot be overstated.Given the importance of this game.It has received no less attention than the match between Granada and Real Madrid some time ago.Seriously speaking, this game is definitely the most watched game of this round.
After returning from England, the Granada team did not have time to mourn the loss of the European League, and directly transferred to the intense preparations.
In order to prepare for this game, the Granada team directly conducted closed training.And ask the players to try not to accept media interviews before this, so as not to be disturbed by the outside world.
Because of these measures taken by the Granada team, the outside media can no longer hype the Real Madrid game this time.Of course, the media also tried to provoke a war of words, but under the silence of the Granada team, nothing could be provoked.
Although there is no media hype, the level of attention to this game is still very high.Especially in China, it has become a must-talk topic among many fans.
It was under such circumstances that Yan Feng and his teammates completed their preparations silently.
The No.30 four rounds of La Liga officially started at Atletico Madrid's home stadium Bitson Caldesche.
On the day of the game, more than 5 fans poured into the Bitzen Caldesche Stadium, filling the stands of the entire stadium.
In order to cheer for the Granada team in this crucial game, this time, nearly a thousand Granada fans accompanied the team to the away game.
The fans wearing the black jerseys of Granada's visiting team became a striking sight in the stands.In a sea of red and white people, such a star is outstanding.
Yan Feng and his teammates found their fans at a glance.In this important away game, although there are only a small number of fans compared with the opponents, they can bring them enough spiritual support.
"Come on, the fans are watching us from above, we must not lose the chain today." Yan Feng and his teammates mobilized before the game.
"come on!"
When all the pre-match preparations and ceremonies are done, the game officially begins.
At Atletico Madrid's home court, they still play the 442 formation that they use most often and can best play their team's strength.This is an even formation.
With 'Lattice' Griezmann and the old 'Golden Boy' Torres as the double forwards, coupled with the unique wings of this formation, the offensive firepower and the threat to the penalty area are very strong.
For the Granada team, Pirlo still resorted to the most commonly used formation of 4231.
Seeing this formation, many people may say that the Granada team lacks change.Facing this game that requires all-out efforts to win, there is no more aggressive arrangement.This is the lack of Granada or Pirlo.
But actually. The 4231 array is more suitable for the 442 array.Because the 4231 array itself was evolved to target the 442 array.This may be the aspect of the game that favors Granada the most.
Although there is an advantage in formation, the game ultimately sees the players playing on the field.No matter how restrained the formation is, there must be enough good players to execute it.
After the start of the game, Atletico Madrid showed the characteristics of flying on both wings and began to attack the two sides of Granada.
To put it bluntly, attacking Granada's wing is absolutely the right thing to do.Compared with the central midfield composed of Yan Feng, Lin Fan and Costa, the two wingers are much weaker.
Attacking from the two wings and then hitting the penalty area in the middle is indeed a test for Granada's defense.Atlético de Madrid's No. 10 Carrasco and No. 6 Kekai launched the impact respectively, and achieved good results.
But once the ball is hit from the wing into the penalty area, Griezmann and Torres will test the defenders such as Longban.It is not easy for defenders such as Longban and Ingarsen to face Griezmann and Torres.
The old Torres is still relatively easy to defend, while the young and strong Griezmann is still on the rise. It is very difficult to deal with.It often takes two people to watch Griezmann, but still can't lock him up.
Relying on the strength of the home court and the sharp attack of the striker, Atletico Madrid put a lot of pressure on Granada's defense after the start of the game.
After struggling to resist the attack of Atletico Madrid, Granada also launched attacks from time to time.
Atletico Madrid does not have the strong defense of Manchester United, but they also defend very well with the advantage of the ground.Although the attack launched by the Granada team could pose a threat, it did not easily break through the goal.
In the first 10 minutes of the game, Atletico Madrid had some advantages on the scene, but not by much.After 10 minutes, the Granada team gradually got used to it and got better.Their attacks are much more powerful.This allowed them to gradually regain some disadvantages.
By the time of the second and 10 minutes of the game, the two sides had already fallen into a stalemate.
An evenly matched battle situation will be the most intense. From this moment on, the competition has really entered a fierce stage.The tempo and intensity of the game was played to a high level.
Intense competition often means intense confrontation.This will inevitably lead to an increase in the number of fouls.
The number of fouls on both sides rose rapidly, and only three to 10 minutes into the game, both sides had at least five fouls.
There are a lot of fouls. Although both sides are similar, it will suffer for the Granada team playing away.Because there is something called 'home whistle' in this world.
When the game came to 33 minutes, possession was in the hands of Atletico Madrid, and they attacked.
Yan Feng is focusing on defense.Today his direct opponent is Saul Niggs.Although the young Niggs is not as famous as Griezmann, he is equally strong.When Yan Feng defended him, he didn't dare to take it lightly.
No, seeing Niggs running into his defense zone, Yan Feng immediately approached.
Yan Feng followed Glass at a certain distance, and did not give the opponent a gap to catch the ball.But when Yan Feng turned his head to look at where the football was, Niggs suddenly approached and pressed Yan Feng's arm.
Yan Feng felt that the opponent was approaching and exerting pressure on his arm. When he was trying to resist, the force suddenly disappeared.Then there was an extremely tragic cry. "ah!"
When Yan Feng heard the words, he turned his head and saw that Niggs was lying on the ground in a very exaggerated form. "Uh~ I don't seem to have internal energy, an ability that only exists in the world of martial arts!"
"Beep!" followed by a whistle.
"I am super!" Only then did Yan Feng realize that he seemed to have been hacked.
Soon, Yan Feng saw the referee running over quickly, taking cards out of his pocket while running.
I'm super, no!You don't want to give me a card, do you?Yan Feng was shocked and angry.He quickly met the referee and explained: "Referee, this is none of my business. I didn't touch him at all. He ran over and stuck to me, and then fell down. I dare say, he dived."
The referee ignored Yan Feng and went to check Niggs' situation first.
Seeing a referee coming over, Niggs wailed even more vigorously while lying on the ground, and even rolled over.
"False, all of this is false. Referee, don't be fooled by him." Seeing Niggs's face like a referee, Yan Feng said to himself, and explained anxiously.
"Red card! Red card! Red card!~~~" At this time, the fans around the stadium began to shout together.
When he heard the 'red card', Yan Feng's face turned pale.Nema, this is life-threatening. "Referee, don't be fooled."
After inspecting Niggs for a while, the referee stood up and faced Yan Feng, but his eyes were on the cards in his hand.The referee's eyes switched back and forth between the red card and the yellow card in his hand, and he seemed a little hesitant.
In the end, the referee took a yellow card and raised it to Yan Feng.
"Oh! How can this be?" Yan Feng was depressed for a while, but he was also slightly relieved.When the referee floated up on the red card just now, he was really shocked.
"Hush, it turned out to be only a yellow card!" The fans in the stands were very dissatisfied to see that Yan Feng was not sent off with a red card.
Not satisfied?I got a yellow card, who can I ask for reasoning?Yan Feng is really hot.He was dissatisfied with the referee blindly drawing cards for him, and even more dissatisfied with Niggs who was playing dead on the ground.
"Chao, Nimad, how can Spain produce some shameless actors!" Apart from cursing Yan Feng, he was powerless to change the fact that he was warned by a yellow card.
Yan Feng was very depressed, and his teammates were also very upset.Many surrounded the referee to ask for an explanation.And Longban even stood in front of Niggs, bowed his head and cursed: "Nimad, get up quickly, you son of a bitch actor."
Hearing what Longban said, the other Atlético Madrid players around Niguez immediately became angry, and No. 14 Gabi pushed Longban directly.Then other people came over and pointed at Longban, shoving and cursing.
"What are you doing? Do you want to fight?" Yan Feng, who was already angry, couldn't help it anymore, and stepped forward to resist Gabi.
"SHIT!" "Send Q"``````
The other nearby players from both sides also surrounded and joined in the scolding and pushing.A conflict ensues.
Seeing that the conflict is in danger of escalating.The referee who gave Yan Feng a yellow card just now rushed to the middle of the two sides.
It took a lot of effort before the referee separated the players from both sides.
If it weren't for Yan Feng and others who didn't want to fight or something, this conflict would not be so easy to quell.
"Shh~ get out, Granada ``````" Although the conflict was stopped by the referee in time, the fans did not spare the Granada team.
Listening to the boos and cursing in the stands, the Granada team was furious.And Yan Feng, who was cheated of a yellow card, was naturally very angry.Yan Feng couldn't help suppressing his anger in his heart. "Calm down. Don't be impulsive. It's not worth it."
To be honest, Yan Feng really wanted to yell at the stands to shut up.Another thing is to turn around and pull Niggs up to beat him up.Helpless, these are things that professional players cannot do.
Thinking of Niggs, Yan Feng turned his head and glared at him.But when he was looking at Niggs, Niggs, who was rubbing his chest and stood up under the examination of the team doctor, gave Yan Feng a smug and concealed smile.
"Super! Keep this account for me." Yan Feng cursed again.
No matter how angry Yan Feng is in his heart, no matter how innocent he is in fact, one unchangeable fact is that he got a yellow card.Moreover, the Atletico Madrid team took this opportunity to get a free kick.
The location of the free throw is still far from the goal of the Granada team, and it is a bit far to hit the goal directly.However, a set-piece tactic can be played.
"Keep an eye on good people and don't give them a chance." Yan Feng reminded his teammates loudly to defend the opponent's set-piece tactics.
Granada's players try to position themselves and keep an eye on the good guys.But people are unlucky, drinking cold water will clog the teeth.
Granada's man-marking is very good, and the first shot was also defended.But they can't prevent the opponent's luck.The ball pushed out of the penalty area by the Granada team was directly drawn by Carrasco, and then kicked one of their own.But the football was changing direction, and it accidentally flew into the far corner of the Granada team's goal.
"GOAL!!!!!!"
1:0. Granada fell behind.
