Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 571
"I'm going, this is called recuperating? You can go to the dunk contest now."

"What's the situation? It's clearly a slap in the face of Mourinho!"

"Now the matter is really clear. Yan Feng has no injuries at all, he was abandoned."

"Are those rumors true? Because Yan didn't agree with Mourinho's ideas, there was a quarrel and he was abandoned?"

"Chaos in the locker room! The rumors are confirmed. The relationship between Mourinho and captain Yan has deteriorated. The Granada team may fall into chaos."

In fact, after Yan Feng did not appear in many games, there was still a lot of news that his relationship with Mourinho had deteriorated.It's just because the Granada team's gag order is extremely strict, and no one in the team dared to reveal their words when faced with inquiries.

Now that Yan Feng's video came out, he directly refuted Mourinho's remarks about his physical discomfort.

Originally, the outside world always thought that the Granada team was very united.Now it is finally discovered that the Granada team is not monolithic.

"Sure enough, Mourinho is really incapable of handling the relationship with the players." Some people feel that.

"The relationship between the head coach and the captain is not good, and the impact is too great. No wonder, the recent Granada team looks wrong. The captain who has contributed so much has been abandoned. This time, the Granada team will have a disaster. What should I do?" This is obviously the fans of the Granada team who are worried about the team's situation.

"The Granada team is in turmoil! The opportunity has come! Yan Ke is very popular in the team, this is good. The Granada team is going to be chaotic." Some people began to gloat.

The Granada team broke out in civil strife, and the happiest people were naturally those direct competitors.Since this incident broke out, many fans have discovered that Ronaldo has been in a good mood recently.To be sure, a lot of people have been in a good mood lately.

"What should we do? We can't go on like this. The situation must change." Seeing that the situation had deteriorated, Jiang Lizhang finally decided not to tolerate Mourinho's excessive arbitrary power.

Under the pressure of Jiang Lizhang, Mourinho transferred Yan Feng back from the reserve team in order to ease the internal instability.

Yan Feng finally returned to the first team.But he soon discovered that Mourinho's attitude towards him was extremely cold.It can basically be confirmed that the relationship between him and Mourinho has been irreconcilable.If they survive this season at most, one of them will definitely have to leave.

This is evidenced by his arrangement on the bench after he returned to the first team.

With such a clear understanding, Yan Feng basically stopped communicating with Mourinho except for serious training and not giving facts.

Rao returned to the first team, but Yan Feng did not return to the starting position soon.In the next game, Yan Feng was pressed on the bench by Mourinho.And the playing time of each game is very small.It is often after 70 minutes of the game that there is a chance to come off the bench.

Mourinho is obviously deliberately compressing his playing time.Every time Yan Feng played, he was cheered and supported by the fans.Every time he tried to perform in the limited playing time, so that Mourinho had to send him.

Yan Feng's popularity in the team is still very good.Especially those good brothers who will continue to create opportunities for him.This made Mourinho very unhappy, but he dared not say anything.Since Yan Feng was released, he also felt that many players' attitudes towards him were changing.

Due to the limited playing time, although Yan Feng performed well, after all, there was too little time, and it was difficult to play such a performance that even Mourinho had to let him start.Especially once he plays, the team's tactics will often be required to focus on defense.This made him have no chance to perform well.

Lin Fan and others were complaining for Yan Feng, but they didn't dare to provoke Mourinho head-on.Many fans were also very dissatisfied, but Mourinho didn't care at all.Even if Jiang Lizhang asked Yan Feng to enter the starting lineup, Mourinho still thought that the current arrangement was very suitable and refused.

This situation is not finished until after the game against Barcelona.

Everyone knows how important the game against Barcelona is.But even so, Yan Feng was still not put down by Mourinho in the starting lineup.

In the Nou Camp Stadium, Yan Feng sat on the bench bitterly.In the interim, without him, the Granada team's ability to compete in the midfield was obviously inferior to the Barcelona team.

In the Barcelona team, the performance of Paulinho, who is very similar to Yan Feng's style, is extremely eye-catching.Paulinho continued to disrupt the Granada team's system in the midfield, and also used frequent upswings to bring a lot of threats to the Granada team's goal.And it was Paulinho's long-range shot that took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field.

Paulinho's amazing performance made Yan Feng, who is also a B2B midfielder, both envious and uncomfortable.Watching Modric's body suffer against Paulinho.Seeing that Lin Fan faced each other, he was also at a disadvantage.This made Yan Feng wish he could rush up by himself.

However, Mourinho pressed him firmly on the bench.Even if he fell behind by one goal and the situation was unfavorable, he was not allowed to play after the start of the second half.It wasn't until more than 70 minutes after Barcelona scored another goal that Mourinho sent him up.

Facing the situation of falling behind by two goals, although Yan Feng fought hard.But after all, the general situation has gone, even under his leadership, Granada's frenzied counterattack at the end of the game failed to save the defeat.

In the end, Granada lost to Camp Nou.

With this defeat, Granada's already small lead was reduced to only one point by Barcelona.If it weren't for the large advantages accumulated at the beginning of the season, this kid is likely to be overtaken.

Although the Granada team remained at the top of the list after this campaign, their lead has become extremely small.Even Real Madrid, which is ranked third, is only three points behind.

The defeat of the Granada team has brought great encouragement to all competitors.The situation of the Granada team is not as safe as last season.

After losing, Mourinho's employment policy has been greatly questioned.And he still said bluntly: "After the game, I did exactly what everyone expected, but you saw it, and it still didn't change anything. I didn't even score a goal."

Mourinho's stubbornness was not recognized.Under internal and external pressure, he had to let Yan Feng return to the starting lineup.

Yan Feng returned to the starting lineup, which greatly revived the morale of the Granada team.The reappearance of the strongest lineup allowed the Granada team to stabilize their position and regain victory in the next game.Thus maintaining a slight advantage.

Granada are back on track.But Yan Feng no longer obeyed all his commands.As long as there is a chance, Yan Feng will definitely participate in the attack.

This is naturally very disliked by Mourinho.

And the coming winter transfer window gave Mourinho a chance to find his favorite players.

Therefore, Mourinho asked the team to introduce Real Madrid's Casemiro.However, he was rejected by Jiang Lizhang on the grounds that the team's midfielders were enough.

Mourinho was very insistent and repeatedly demanded that Casemiro or other well-known midfielders must be bought.But they were all rejected by Jiang Lizhang on the grounds that the current configuration is very good and the team needs stability.

This made Mourinho very unhappy.The relationship with Jiang Lizhang has also become a little tense.

In this case, Yan Feng was able to continue to start the game.And ushered in the last important game of the year-the Club World Cup.
