Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 370

Chapter 370 Back on track

"Wow!!! Haha!!!"

Yan Feng rushed to the sidelines, came to the camera and roared excitedly, slapping his chest with his right hand.

He is so happy.Recently, the situation of the Granada team has not been ideal, and he is very anxious.And during the period before this game, his heart was more anxious and tormented.Now, all of that evaporated the moment he scored.

This is Yan Feng's first goal in the European League, and the significance of this goal is very important to him and the Granada team.

Because of this goal, it can basically be said that APOEL lost hope of a comeback.In the two rounds, Granada is now leading by two goals.But one of them is an away goal, which requires the APOEL team to score three goals in a row in the next ten minutes to achieve a comeback.

To achieve this possibility, unless the Granada team collectively short-circuits in the next few days.Or let the senior management of the Athletic Greek team pay for Jiang Lizhang, and let Jiang Lizhang immediately order Alcaraz to release the water, maybe this will be more likely.

Therefore, Yan Feng's goal basically sentenced the Greek Athletic team to death.

When the Granada team re-kicked off after celebrating, APOEL looked downcast one by one.They, who are also aware of the current situation, are already desperate, and they have no hope anymore.

Seeing that the morale of the Athletic Greek team has basically fallen to the bottom.But this is not enough.A few minutes later, when there was a dead ball, Alcaraz, who has always been cautious, made personnel adjustments.

Alcaraz replaced Samper and Costa with two defensive midfielders.This is a chance that I don't want to leave to the Athletic Greek team.Fortunately, Alcaraz was shameless and didn't replace Sandel with a defensive player.

Seeing that the Granada team changed two people in a row, the APOEL team really gave up even the last bit of thought.Their head coach Donis stood there in despair at the moment, not even thinking about scolding him for being shameless.

In the next game, Yan Feng still thought about being prepared and using offense to contain the opponent's offensive, but soon he found that it was unnecessary.The opponent didn't even seem to have the strength to attack.

Faced with this situation, Yan Feng stayed behind with peace of mind.He didn't feel the need to use all his strength anymore.The recent Granada team has not recovered from the intensive competition, so let's save some energy to deal with the following leagues.

For the rest of the game, because the Granada team did not take the opportunity to attack for the sake of being conservative, the game suddenly became meaningless.So much so that when it came to stoppage time, the referee only made up for 2 minutes symbolically.Then as soon as the time is up, the final whistle is blown immediately.

"Yay! We have won! Long live Granada!"

As the whistle sounded, the whole stadium cheered.

It wasn't Granada's first victory in the Europa League, but it was the first time they had knocked out an opponent at this international level.

From not being seen before the first round, to now we have successfully eliminated the opponent.This made the Granada fans feel extremely elated.

Before this game, the Granada team had a series of league victories. In fact, neither the players nor the fans were very confident.Well now, the opponent is really eliminated, and it is achieved by winning instead of drawing.It makes them very proud.

Look, our Granada team can do it.We really grew into a strong team, not by luck.

This game ended Granada's winless run in recent rounds.More importantly, they successfully advanced to the Europa League group stage.

There will be four teams in each group in the Europa League group stage, and a round-robin competition will be adopted. Granada will play at least six more games.Needless to say, the benefits gained from this, just the fact that they will face well-known teams from major leagues in the next group stage will give them a great exposure.

As a garbage weak team for a long time, the Granada team knows that there are not many fans in European countries except Spain.Even if they had beaten Real Madrid, it was only regarded as a burst of luck.And after they successfully eliminated the Greek Athletic team, their popularity has been improved even more in Europe.

The improvement of the team's popularity is a good thing.For the Granada team, the more important impact of eliminating their opponents this time is that their morale has been greatly improved.

The confidence of the strong team that was on the verge of dissipating before became solidified after this.They used this to walk out of the haze that one victory after another is hard to find.

The team was promoted, not only the fans were happy, but the team owner Jiang Lizhang was also very happy.

Since taking over the Granada team, he has invested heavily.It can be questioned by the Spaniards before.Now he has not only allowed the team to achieve an advantage in the league, but also made history and allowed the team to enter the main stage of the European League.It made him proud of his ability to run the business.

Well, football is actually far from being as simple as it seems on the surface.A professional team with good performance will get a lot of commercial support from the local government. This is not only established in China, but also abroad.

To celebrate the team's promotion, Jiang Lizhang held a celebration party for the team after the game.And also distributed a lot of bonuses for this.As the captain, Yan Feng, who still scored a key goal, naturally got a lot of small money.

After playing this game, Granada's difficult stage of double matches for a week has finally passed.Granada finally got a break.

After a day off and a good rest, Yan Feng returned to the training of the Granada team again.

Now that the team is training, the smiles on the players' faces are back.And they seem to be full of confidence.

"In the next league, we have to work hard. Get a few more consecutive victories or something."

"How many goals do you think we can win against Deportivo in a few days?"

"This time we're going to start with full strength and we're going to get back to fifth. If possible, I think third would be better."

Listening to his teammates full of confidence, or feeling a little overconfident, Yan Feng felt very happy.

So what about being too confident?Would having self-confidence be worse than not being aggressive?If you don't have the mind to keep moving forward, you may not be able to kick it.

Yan Feng is not afraid that his teammates are too confident, but he is afraid that his teammates don't have that ambition.Now, he is the most satisfied this season.The team is back on track, and everything is moving towards the goal he most desires.
