Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 567 A perfect start and an undercurrent of estrangement
With such a high pursuit, Yan Feng and the Granada team entered the new season.

In the first round of the new season, the Granada team defeated the Alaves team at home and got off to a good start.

It was only the first round, but with the two cup games ahead, the outside world has a new understanding of the strength of the Granada team.

The people are still those people, but in the new season, what is displayed is a brand new strength.

"The Granada team has shown a strong dominance. If the Granada team last season was a lion that only started to show off, the Granada team in the new season is a mature lion. The power is unparalleled. "

"More mature, more tacit understanding, more combat effectiveness. Unchanged personnel, brand new strength."

In just three games, the outside world began to marvel at the terrifying strength of the Granada team.In these three games, even an ordinary fan watching the game can clearly feel the progress of the Granada team.

Yes, the main force of the Granada team is still those people, and they have not replaced any of the main players this season.Moreover, Modric, who is the core of the midfielder, has completely entered the end of his career.But the others are young indeed.

Interested people checked the age of the main players of the Granada team, and it was easy to find that, except for Modric, who was in the early stage, the others were either at the peak or still growing at a high speed.

Lin Fan, Sander, and Martial are all players around 23 to 24 years old, and there is even a younger Benkovic.These few people have grown to a very high level after several seasons of experience, and they are still growing at a visible speed.It can be said that the strength of the Granada team has the potential to continue to improve.This is the fatal advantage that makes other teams envious and jealous.

As the only Modric among the main players who has declined, what has declined is only his aging physical functions.But the technical ability has not changed at all.Even the ability of consciousness has become better.It can be said that the older you get, the more demonic you become.

With a world coach like Mourinho, Modric's role will naturally not be reduced.He reduced Modric's defensive duties and freed up his talents in attack and midfield control.The defense of the Granada team is the most powerful support for this approach.

Under various circumstances, it is easy for the outside world to see that the Granada team is stronger than last season.The strength of last season has already dominated La Liga and the Champions League. The strength that has become stronger, how terrifying will its dominance be?
How scary?
After getting off to a good start, the Granada team won ten rounds in a row in the next game.

This ten-round winning streak is just a winning streak in La Liga.In other competitions, such as the Copa del Rey and the Champions League, Granada is also undefeated.

Adding up all competitions, the Granada team has actually won [-] consecutive victories.

This is an extremely perfect start for the Granada team.

Granada's start has caused the other two former overlords of La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​to panic.Although the two old overlords performed very well, they could not reach the complete victory of the Granada team.

The start of the Granada team naturally made them laboriously occupy the top spot from the beginning of the season.Both Real Madrid and Barcelona were left behind.Except for the two teams desperately trying not to be thrown away, it is temporarily impossible for the two teams to overtake the top spot.

In the past, no matter how good the Granada team achieved, no matter whether the Granada team occupied the top spot, it would still be underestimated by many people.In the past, the media would only think that the Granada team was an upstart, a momentary triumph, and the king's position would eventually belong to Real Madrid or Barcelona.

And now, it is a matter of course that the Granada team Lao Lao occupies the top spot.Their strength and dominance are no longer questioned.Now, the outside world is worried that Real Madrid and Barcelona will not be able to challenge Granada, which will make the latter the only one in La Liga.This is what countless caring people don't want to see.

The former opponents of these two teams, and now the hard-pressed brothers, are more encouraged by the media.Many people analyzed and advised them, hoping that they can regain their strength and take advantage of their status of singing La Liga duets.

The performance of the Granada team at the beginning of the new season is so strong and so desperate for opponents.

This is the best gift for Granada fans.Granada are constantly giving them joy.Everything looks so beautiful.

Things are really going well for Granada.However, for Yan Feng, there are hidden dangers.

All of this went smoothly, which contained his sacrifice and repression.

In fact, since the first round of the new season, Yan Feng has shown more aggressiveness and desire to step forward than before.

But Mourinho asked Yan Feng to take on more defensive tasks in order to liberate Modric.More defensive tasks mean that Yan Feng is bound in the midfield.

And Yan Feng already has more pursuits and greater ambitions.He doesn't want to be just a sapper doing hard work, he also wants to perform better.He wants to get higher personal honor.Mourinho's request is undoubtedly killing Yan Feng's personal ambitions.

This is what Yan Feng is unwilling to accept now.So Yan Feng felt depressed.He felt increasingly oppressed by the kick.

Yan Feng is not a pawn, not a mindless robot.Therefore, in the game, sometimes he can't help but step forward to participate in the attack.

In this way, Yan Feng was naturally criticized by Mourinho.

At first, Mourinho just asked Yan Feng not to come forward.Later, Yan Feng was strictly ordered not to leave his post without authorization.Later, once, he even directly criticized Yan Feng by name.

Yan Feng was very depressed.Because although he can't help but step forward to attack, the number of times he does this is actually no more than last season.He felt that what he did in the same way as last season was already trying his best to control it.

However, Mourinho felt that a fully grown striker would be unstoppable as long as Modric was in the middle.Yan Feng only needs to guard the waist for the team.There is no need for him to go forward at all, leaving hidden dangers for the defense.

Unknowingly, different needs caused a gap between Yan Feng and Mourinho.

Yan Feng felt that his role was artificially limited.His status has declined dramatically.He began to miss the respect and reliance that Pirlo had when coaching.

At that time, he was the person Pirlo relied on most, and he was the captain who would often seek support when Pirlo encountered difficulties.Although he is still the captain now, he is just a player who doesn't need to pay attention to his opinions.
