Soccer: The Road to Extraordinary

Chapter 64

The arrival of Korean foreign aid Kim Kyung Il brought unprecedented pressure to Yan Feng.The first team training let Yan Feng know that he has a strong competitor.

Jin Jingyi, who was born in 90, is 181cm tall and weighs 73kg. He works as a midfielder.Although they are not well-known in the K-League, their strength should not be underestimated. At the age of 25, it can be said that his body is at its peak.In terms of resistance, he can surpass Zhou Li by a lot. This surprised Yan Feng during the confrontation training. Yan Feng felt that he was relatively strong in the Chinese League One.And Jin Jingyi has the usual physical strength of Korean players. Although he is not as good as Yan Feng, he is still one of the best in the team.What made Yan Feng feel the most pressure was Jin Jingyi's technical level, fierce defense, good ball handling ability and passing ability, and he was far more sophisticated than Lin Fan in offensive and defensive transitions.Not only is Jin Jingyi far superior to Zhou Li in strength, but Yan Feng feels that he is far inferior to Jin Jingyi in other aspects except for his physical fitness.

With such a strong teammate, Yan Feng would be very happy if he played in other positions. The problem is that Jin Jingyi played in the midfielder, which made Yan Feng not happy at all.For the first time since Yan Feng entered the Shenzhen team, he felt a strong crisis, which he had never experienced in Zhou Li.

Under pressure, Yan Feng burst into stronger motivation.However, because he has been depressed due to emotional problems during this period of time, he is in a bad state, and the more he wants to express, the more self-defeating he is.He did not perform very well in training, and the pressure was increasing, and he began to feel out of breath in the competition.Yan Feng really wants to play a bigger role in the transition between offense and defense. However, such things as technology cannot be achieved quickly, and it is necessary to follow the rules of football and train from a young age.Only full-time defense, lack of foot skills, so that Yan Feng's role in the team is relatively limited, especially compared with Jin Jingyi.

On the other hand, Jin Jingyi, although he has just arrived, but with his rich experience and excellent foot skills, the effect of cooperating with his teammates is very good.Compared with Yan Feng, teammates are more willing to pass the ball to Jin Jingyi during training. This alone makes Yan Feng's position in the team very awkward.

As the saying goes, blessings come without pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.

In the next warm-up match with the Fujian Chaoyue team, Yan Feng performed very poorly.Probably because of the pressure of competition, Yan Feng was very active in the game.However, he is in poor form, and he is far from being able to show the level before the middle of the season.In the game, it is often too much action and always fouls.And he also wants to have a better performance in the offensive and defensive transition, but unfortunately at his current level it makes the situation worse, losing the ball again and again.Finally, 10 minutes before halftime, Yan Feng got a yellow card for a foul.This made Li Yi, who was very disappointed in his game, replace him with Jin Jing early on.

What made Yan Feng sigh even more was that not long after the start of the second half, Jin Jingyi scored a goal from behind, and then used an assist to help the team win.

One goal and one assist as soon as he played, this performance is perfect.Although he was facing a second-tier team that was not very strong, it could be said to be better than Yan Feng's unsatisfactory performance in the first half.

Yan Feng was very disappointed.He knew that he had already lost in this competition.

After the game, seeing Yan Feng who was very depressed, Lin Fan came to comfort him.

"Brother Feng, don't be downcast, this is not your style."

"Hehe." Yan Feng just smiled wryly and didn't speak.

"Although you didn't perform very well in this game, I believe your teammates who have played so many games with you will understand the role you played in the game." Lin Fan thought hard about how to comfort Yan Feng.

"Hey, my performance in this game was really terrible." Yan Feng said dejectedly.

"It's okay, everyone has bad times. I believe that after a period of adjustments, Brother Feng will definitely be able to play the original style."

"Just wish." Yan Feng was not as optimistic as Lin Fan.

"Don't worry, Brother Feng. With your physical fitness, you can definitely crush that Korean. And your role in defense, I don't think you will lose to him." Lin Fan recalled Yan Feng's usual performance, still full of confidence.

"Oh, my physical fitness is indeed better than his, but my foot skills are much worse than his. This is a football match, not a track and field match." Yan Feng smiled wryly again.

"Brother Feng, don't give up easily. Although your skills are indeed not as good as his, as the saying goes, practice makes perfect. As long as Brother Feng keeps working hard to hone his skills, I believe you will perform better and better." Lin Fan thought Do everything you can to encourage Yan Feng.

"En." Yan Feng could only nod, he had no other choice but this.Although he said so, he didn't have much confidence in his heart.Chinese football is not good, everyone said it was because they did not pay attention to youth training.Why is youth training so important?It is because football requires correct training from childhood to develop a good level. So far, I have never heard of a quick way.I have never heard of a half-way monk who can play at a high level.What's more, an amateur like Yan Feng?
In this competition with Jin Jingyi, Yan Feng has already surrendered from the bottom of his heart.

Not long after Lin Fan left, Li Yi also came to look for Yan Feng.

Yan Feng thought that Li Yi came to settle accounts with him because of his poor performance in this warm-up match.I was already mentally prepared to be scolded, but Li Yi didn't expect that there was no anger on Li Yi's face and he didn't scold him badly.Instead, he patted Yan Feng on the shoulder and said calmly, "Yan Feng, have you encountered any difficult problems recently?"

Unexpectedly, when Li Yi came, he didn't scold him about the game, but cared about his personal affairs. Yan Feng was very moved. "No. I'm fine. Maybe I just finished my vacation, so I haven't adjusted my status!"

"In this period of training, although you are still as active as ever. But I don't feel the never-say-die fighting spirit from you. I feel that you have been depressed recently. Is there something wrong? What happened? Hey, there are too many things going on in the club during this time, and I didn't even pay attention to your situation." Li Yi said thoughtfully.

"I'm fine, Brother Yi. It's a thing of the past, I believe I will be able to adjust it after a while." Yan Feng said seriously.He didn't want to mention Zhou Yun's matter.He didn't think it was necessary to talk about such things.But thinking of Zhou Yun, Yan Feng still couldn't help his mood fluctuating greatly, and he became even more lost.

Looking at Yan Feng's appearance, Li Yi, who has experienced many things, understands that something is really wrong with Yan Feng.Li Yi also knows that Yan Feng's situation is probably related to feelings. If this is the case, it is difficult for outsiders to help people who are in love.Emotional problems can only be resolved by the person concerned or slowly fade away over time.

"Well. I believe you can adjust your state back. However, you have to pay attention now, don't be too anxious. For example, in this warm-up match, you were too impatient. And the original in the transition of offense and defense Cohesion is not your strong point, your strong point is sweeping the defense. But you took the ball too much today. I know this is mainly because Kim Kyung-il’s arrival puts a lot of pressure on you. You want to control the ball yourself You also showed some performance. But this is not your characteristic, you can only expose your weaknesses like this. You should make use of your strengths and avoid weaknesses, and focus on your own strengths and defense." Li Yi said earnestly.

"Yes. I know. However, Jin Jingyi's strength is indeed much stronger than mine." Yan Feng knew that he was still not inferior to others.Jin Jingyi is not comparable to Zhou Li.

"Yan Feng, don't worry. In fact, you and him are not incompatible. We can let you partner with him and push Lin Fan forward."

"In this case, Fei Yu will have to come down."

"Playing positions and who plays are determined according to the needs of the team. Don't think too much, train well."

"Well. I'll train well."

Li Yi patted Yan Feng on the shoulder, nodded and left.

Seeing both Lin Fan and Li Yi came to encourage him.Knowing that none of them gave up on him, Yan Feng knew that he could not live up to their expectations, so he decided to train hard.

Next, Yan Feng was more devoted and focused in training, and worked hard to improve his ability at the feet. Although the effect was not very good, he thought it would be good to improve even a little bit.

Just when Yan Feng packed up his mood and devoted himself to training, the team once again sent out a news that made him astonished.
