Chapter 364 Self-adjustment

In fact, Yan Feng had this idea after the last game against Levante.After the analysis report by columnist Hughes came out, Yan Feng began to think about what changes he needed to make.Now, Yan Feng decided to make a change from now on due to the restrictions faced by Valencia's defense.

Yan Feng has no clear direction on how to adjust and change himself.He needs to make some attempts in the next game.

"Guys, don't worry. Take your time, this is how opportunities come out." Since Yan Feng's forward attack was successfully converted into a goal, Alcaraz was not dissatisfied.However, he still yelled at the field.

Alcaraz's words are somewhat ambiguous, that is, it may mean that Yan Feng's attack is too impatient, or it may be that he can try this way.

And from Costa's ears, he thinks that the head coach is inclined to keep the offensive tactics in which he participates.That made him decide to actively take on the responsibility of initiating the offense the next time his team had the ball.

Sure enough, 2 minutes later, when the Granada team got the ball again, he ran forward first and called his teammates to cooperate with him.

Originally, Yan Feng really wanted to step forward again, but seeing that Costa had already taken the lead, he could only stay to fill his position.

The attack initiated by Costa was indeed different from Yan Feng's.Different from the simple and fast that Yan Feng likes, Costa uses short passes with his teammates to move forward.Moreover, it is he who takes the lead to cooperate with different teammates, and then sends out threatening passes close to the ground.

Costa's style is actually a bit like Harvey, but the timing and accuracy of his shots are not so good.

However, the pass-control cooperation brought about by this seems to be quite entertaining.The host who was explaining the game said with emotion: "Costa still looks like Harvey. His arrival has really greatly improved Granada's transmission and control skills."

There is such an idea, in fact, it is not surprising at all.It's not that Costa is really strong, but that the Granada team has always been a technically poor team.If it weren't for the loan of the two technical players Samper and Pereira, the whole would be the famous roughness of La Liga.

And this situation, after Yan Feng's arrival, still hasn't changed much.Because Yan Feng was not called rough brother too many times when he played football in China.

Yan Feng's character determines that he likes simple and fast, and every attack is done with the fastest speed and strongest strength.Such a style naturally has nothing to do with the technical flow that is regarded as beautiful football.

Granada's attack looked patient. After passing back and forth many times, Costa passed the ball forward with a through ball.It's a pity that under the defense of the defender, Sandel was able to successfully create a chance to hit the goal.Under the attack of two defenders, he couldn't even hold the ball.

This time the attack failed.

"If there is a faster forward, like Neymar, it would be great." There was no chance for his own pass.Costa felt that his teammates were not strong enough.

"If this ball was played by me, I might barely be able to rush out of the opportunity." This is how Yan Feng viewed this attack.He felt that Costa was too eager to deliver the decisive chance with one kick.This is too difficult.Anyone who can pass such a ball is a master midfielder.What's more, Sandel is not the kind of forward who is good at speed.

At the same time, Yan Feng felt that Costa was too slow.It's not that Costa's speed is too slow, his speed is still on average.The slowness of Costa is that the propulsion speed is too slow.His too many touches and passes gave the Valencia team enough time to build a sound defensive system.Facing a perfect defense, it is difficult for a passing team like Barcelona to make a move.

Although he has such a view, this is a tactic arranged by the coach after all, so he can't say anything.Of course, there was no time for him to say anything or think too much.Soon, he threw himself into the defense.

Although Alcaraz put Yan Feng in the defense, which wasted Yan Feng's running ability and attack power, it ensured the thickness of Granada's defense.With Yan Feng fully sitting in the midfield, even if the Valencia team has a wide player like Nani and plays mainly on the wing, it is still difficult to break through the goal of the Granada team.

After several efforts to defend, the Granada team finally defended the Valencia team's offensive.

"Give it to me." Yan Feng first asked for the ball from Ochoa who had just confiscated the ball.

As soon as Ochoa heard it, he immediately gave the ball to Yan Feng.In any case, Yan Feng is the captain of the team, and in the past, it was very common for Yan Feng to ask him for the ball and launch an attack from it.

"Here~" Costa also wanted the ball, but unfortunately he was a step behind.

After Yan Feng got the ball, Costa immediately ran forward, and the meaning of stepping forward to participate in the attack was very obvious.

The Granada team is still in the usual 4231 formation today, one of the double midfielders stepped forward, and the other stayed to fill the gap.Now that Costa moves forward first, Yan Feng can only stay.

Yan Feng passed the ball forward to Samper. Although he wanted to rush up to cooperate with Samper, he needed him defensively.In this way, in this offensive, Yan Feng could only watch from behind as his teammates tried to find opportunities with frequent passes.

It's a pity that Valencia's defense at home was impeccable.In the end, in this attack, Aslan could only choose a long shot after cutting in from the left, but the ball missed the goal.

After all, a long shot is a long shot. In football, the closer to the goal, the easier it is to score.Rao is Messi, who is comparable to the king of the ball. Most of the goals are also scored in the penalty area.

Not everyone has Yan Feng's terrifying hitting power.With Yan Feng's hitting power, the long-range shooting ability is like hitting the goal in the penalty area. The scoring rate is relatively high.

"Okay, the cooperation is good. Keep working hard, there will be more and better opportunities." Alcaraz on the sidelines applauded and shouted to the field after the players on the field completed their attack.

In Alcaraz's view, although such offensive tactics have been practiced before the season, there are very few games that are actually mainly implemented.Now this is the main thing. If you want to attack successfully in one go, that is too demanding.

The game continued, and because Costa made up his mind to actively participate in the attack, Yan Feng rarely had the opportunity to attack.Throughout the first half, Granada's offense was basically like this.Look for opportunities in the patient guide, and finish the goal without too good a chance.In the end it failed to score.

But the Valencia team's defensive counterattack tactics are also very successful, and there are often opportunities to counterattack.Although he was able to create threats from time to time, he also failed to score goals.

0:0, in the first half, the game was well-organized, offensive and defensive, but not intense enough, and the rhythm was not too fast.

Back in the locker room, Alcaraz didn't look dissatisfied.

"Boys, in the first half, you implemented the tactics formulated by the coaching staff well before the game. Although you didn't score a goal, you also created opportunities."

"Of course, because of this way of playing football, it only started to appear in our new season, and it has not been able to fully exert its power."

"I believe that over time, we will be able to show stronger power. We are playing a tactical style similar to Barcelona. I think everyone knows the success of Barcelona."

"In the second half, we will still stick to this style of play. It's just that everyone has to be more patient and at the same time keep focused. Whenever opportunities come up, we must work hard to grasp them."

Alcaraz was evaluating the team's performance in the first half, and at the same time he was encouraging the players.

"Costa, the performance in the first half was good. Just play like this, but when you go forward to participate in the attack in the second half, you should divide the ball to two sides. If you have the opportunity, you can try to take a long shot." Alcaraz continued Guided Costa.This caused Costa to show a happy and proud smile.

After finishing speaking, Alcaraz saw Yan Feng who was a little silent.He felt that Yan Feng did not follow him in the locker room to boost morale today as in the past.He thought for a while, and thought that Yan Feng might have an idea in his heart.After all, with the current style of play, Yan Feng's tactical status has dropped a lot.

So Alcaraz decided to say something.

"Here, I would like to specifically praise our captain Yan. His solid defense and positive attitude to the game are the guarantee for our defense. I hope that under the leadership of Yan, everyone can play more actively in the next time .”

"Yeah." The player nodded.

After Yan Feng heard this, he didn't say anything.I feel better.However, he didn't pay much attention to it, because he was thinking more about himself at this moment.He is thinking about himself, what changes need to be made to better adapt to the current team's tactical system.

To be honest, Yan Feng feels that the current organized attack by Costa, Samper and others alone is not enough.As long as you encounter a team that uses defensive counterattack tactics, it is difficult to create too many opportunities with Granada's current ability.

But if it is changed to the previous style of play, it will be too limited.He had tried it before, and after being targeted by his opponent, it was not easy for him to get an opportunity as easily as before.

Yan Feng felt that it was not that the inverted triangle tactics would be discarded in the future, but that he needed to change the current simple and rude way of handling it.Perhaps adding some diversion, or relinquishing the final handling of the ball to a teammate, would be more effective.

By the time Yan Feng thought of this, the intermission time had almost passed.Encouraged by Alcaraz's flip, everyone returned to the court.

The second half begins soon.Neither side made personnel adjustments at halftime.It seems that the coaches of both sides have confidence and expectations for the current situation.

Sure enough, after kicking off again, the general situation on the court was similar to that of the first half.

The Granada team is hoping that the new style of play can create more opportunities.The Valencia team felt that the counterattack effect in the first half was good, and there was no need for much change.Just increase the strength of the counterattack.

After playing for about 10 minutes, Yan Feng felt that the threat of the Valencia team had improved a lot after the second half.The Granada team still did not create too many quality opportunities.

If this situation continues, it's really hard to say who will score the goal and win the game.On the contrary, the possibility of a draw is very high.

A draw is still acceptable for the Valencia team.Although they are playing at home, it is good to score a point against Granada, which is still ranked No.3 in the league and has been very popular recently.

A draw is also acceptable for Granada, at least for Alcaraz.In his view, the pursuit of victory is too demanding given the current situation that the Granada team is difficult to organize.

But for Yan Feng, a draw is unacceptable.No matter what opponent he faces, he feels that he has to fight for victory.Defeating stronger players will give you a greater sense of accomplishment.And defeating ordinary opponents is even more necessary to achieve higher performance in the new season.

And if you want to win, it is also necessary to seek changes from now on.

So, when Granada had possession of the ball again, Yan Feng asked for the ball again.

This time Costa did what he did in the first half again, wanting to move forward first.However, after Yan Feng gave him the ball, he pushed his legs forward.

After Costa took the ball and took a few steps forward, he heard Yan Feng's shout.

"Costa, give it to me."

When Costa heard the words, he turned his head and saw that Yan Feng was already parallel to him.Then, soon Yan Feng passed his position.

Costa wanted to ignore it, but he was immediately intercepted by his opponent, and Yan Feng just ran behind Valencia midfielder DePaul and asked for the ball again.So Costa had to pass the ball to Yan Feng.

After Yan Feng got the ball, he also encountered the defender immediately.Yan Feng did not choose to take the risk, but passed the ball diagonally to Samper who was in front of him.After the ball left his feet, Yan Feng rushed forward with all his strength, passing the opponent who was just in front of him.

Samper did not pass back to Yan Feng, but passed to Sandel, who was pointing back.

Sandel tried his best to carry the defender behind him with his back, and then moved forward to catch the ball.And he didn't stop the football just then, but just knocked to the side without looking at it.And soon, Yan Feng appeared in the direction where he passed the ball.

This is the tacit understanding between them and the style of play they have long been accustomed to.You can cooperate with eyes closed.

In the past, with such cooperation, there were often opportunities for Yan Feng to kick directly.But this time, no.When Yan Feng ran up to the football, a defender happened to make up for him a few meters in front of him.He lost space for long shots.

Of course, it's not impossible if you insist on kicking your feet.However, nine times out of ten, it will only be kicked on the opponent in front.With Yan Feng's strength, it is very possible to take some damage away from the opponent.It's just that Yan Feng thinks it's unnecessary.

Yan Feng was mentally prepared to be blocked from the opening space in front of him.Faced with this situation, it is precisely the time to realize the changes he thought of during the half-time break.

Yan Feng didn't stop the ball, but kicked the ball with his foot.

"Strictly want to hit the door? There is no foot room!"

Everyone thought that Yan Feng was desperate to get bored.But the expected huge booming sound did not appear.

The ball flew out from Yan Feng's feet, not flying towards the road sign like a cannonball, but circling the player in the middle with a little rotation, and flying obliquely to the left rear of the defense line.

"Is this a pass? Yan will pick a pass?"

"Strike the ball, the transfer of this foot is beautiful!"

The destination of Yan Feng's pass here is in front of the left back Aslan.Aslan's speed is still very good, as long as he runs behind the defender, he can get a good chance.

Unfortunately, Aslan was not well prepared this time, and the start was a bit slow.In the confrontation with the defender, he was not able to take the ball down.

"Aslan, next time you have to prepare early. Maybe your first goal will arrive." Yan Feng also felt it was a pity, so he stepped forward and said to Aslan.

"Well. You passed it well this time. I didn't expect you to do this, or else. Heh." Aslan nodded with a smile.

This time it was a bit worse.Next time, maybe it will be successful.And Pereira is also a good choice.Just do it.It will be harder for you to restrict me in the future.Yan Feng thought so in his heart, he thought this attempt was quite effective.
