Chapter 92 Dream
Author: Chen Yuyuan
Spain, Granada
[Granada plays against Celta Vigo at home, and the team’s main player Nolito is suspected of being injured.]
The news in the newspapers caused Granada fans to fall into silence.
On their "desperate" journey, there were people like Chen Yuyuan who brought them light, and to a certain extent, their experiences were similar.
Do you still remember the first own goal of Cristiano Ronaldo's career that Granada fans once said was the source of all happiness?
That's what Nolito brought to them and gave them their first win over Real Madrid in 40 years, even if it was just an own goal.
With Nolito, Granada was even able to take the lead against Barcelona. Although they still lost in the end, Nolito at that time had already entered the hearts of Granada fans!
But he, in the end, chose to leave.
Manuel Agudo Duran, referred to as "Nolito", was an orphan since he was a child. He dropped out of school to work due to family reasons at the age of 13. Although he loved football, he had almost no way to accept formal training.
football training!
He struggled like this until he was 18 years old, when he joined a semi-professional team in Spain's fourth-tier league. He did not give up on himself and trained hard just for a vain dream!
This is what Nolito told the people around him: "I have been a Barcelona fan since I was a child. I dream of signing for Barcelona one day. This is why I work so hard!"
From being clumsy at the beginning, Nolito gradually became the strongest leg in the team. In two years, he played 32 times for this fourth-level semi-professional team and scored 24 goals.
!
This performance also attracted the attention of the Spanish Football Club Essia. Although the Spanish Second B is only one level higher than the fourth level, it also allowed him to get rid of his status as an amateur player and become a real professional.
Players!
In Esia's football career, in the first leg of the fourth round of the Spanish Copa del Rey, Nolito stepped up when the team was lagging behind! Facing Real Madrid, he fell to the ground and shot to equalize the score for the team. In the end, the first leg ended with two goals.
Team 1:!The battle is a draw!
In the second round, although Real Madrid won 5:1 to advance, Nolito's precise free kick attack and an assist helped the team get a goal back!
With such performance, Nolito finally became a player of Barcelona B team in 2008!
The 24-year-old Nolito has joined the coveted Barcelona! Even if it is only a second team, it is enough to make him excited! The team's official website gave him a brief introduction: Nolito is a "one-on-one player with excellent ability"
forward" and "scored two goals for Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey."
However, sweet dreams always have a time to wake up. Because he did not receive systematic and professional football training as a child, he was not valued and loved by the coach in Barcelona!
Even if he performed desperately and showed himself desperately, helping the Barcelona B team return to the Spanish Second League after 12 years, even if he won the reputation of "Catabellia", he still couldn't find a place for himself in Barcelona!
Finally, he understood!
Three years later, the 27-year-old Nolito rejected the professional contract offered by Barcelona and accepted a five-year long-term contract from Portugal's Benfica!
Nolito, 27, has eyes full of anger and ambition.
“I don’t want to play football in team B anymore!!!!!”
Full of anger poured out in the first round of the Portuguese Super League, and the world called him: "Barcelona abandoned the general!"
But he told himself again and again! Barcelona did not abandon him! Instead, he rejected Barcelona! He did not want to be a lingering brick, a substitute for the water cooler, a regular in the B team and on loan!
2 substitute appearances in Spanish Primera Division, 16 minutes of playing time, Barcelona B team scored 13 goals in 38 appearances!
Everything last season was something the 27-year-old Nolito couldn't bear anymore!
He wants to prove himself!
Even if you leave Barcelona!
Scored in all 5 games. Nolito had an amazing start to Benfica's career, setting the best record in team history!
However, due to various reasons, he was eventually loaned out by the team. After experiencing Benfica, Nolito grew into a first-class attacker. He came to Granada and gained the coveted core position.
.
"This place is too weak to satisfy my ambitions!"
Nolito, who has become the core of Granada, likes the football atmosphere and style of Spain. He never wants to return to Benfica. He believes that Spain is suitable for him. He wants to stay in Spain, but not in Granada, Spain!
The team is too weak!
12-13 season
Kamenes Stadium
Granada 1:2 Barcelona!
Looking at the score on the scoreboard, the ecstasy of taking the lead at the end of the first half made the taste of defeat even more bitter. He left Granada resolutely. Granada under the rule of the Pozzo family had no hope of rising. They had no choice but to give up.
Nutrients and blood are constantly being absorbed!
Nolito joined Celta Vigo, and Celta Vigo, which was originally on the verge of relegation, burst out with extremely strong combat effectiveness. Their ranking can be said to be a step up every year, from the initial relegation team to the mid-range team, and finally ushered in the
An explosive year!
Nolito was finally satisfied. He proved himself, and the entire football world looked at him for his strength. The 4:1 victory over Barcelona cleared away the depression that had accumulated in his heart for many years!
Standing in the center of the court, Nolito pointed one hand in the air!
I'm back!
Fourth in the league, qualifying for the Champions League, invitations from wealthy clubs, invitations to the Spanish national team, giving Barcelona their first defeat in the 2014-15 season!
Everything makes Nolito satisfied!
This Celta team is at its peak!
Chen Yuyuan VS Nolito!
Who can lead the team to the final victory?
December 21, 2015
Spanish Primera Division sixteenth round
Before the game, Nolito came to Granada with Celta Vigo!
Granada fans walked into the Camenes Stadium in an orderly manner. They were wearing red and white shirts and waving team flags. The momentum they showed even surprised Nolito!
"I've been here before!"
"That's not what they were like back then!"
Nolito turned his head and looked at Iago Aspas with a puzzled face. The two were good partners on the court. In the 4:1 victory over Barcelona, Nolito assisted Iago Aspas.
Spars two goals!
"I heard they have a core from China."
"I've seen it, and it's far worse than you!"
"At least I'm not worthy of him!"
Iago Aspas shrugged his shoulders. The atmosphere in the entire Celta Tower bus was quite harmonious. They are getting better season by season. When the team is invincible, the atmosphere is always good!
His words are not unreasonable. After all, Nolito can be regarded as one of the best wingers. He has a strong ability to read the game. He can cut inside to score goals and pass the ball to assist!
Generally speaking, it is "stable ball control, accurate shooting, and strong passing."
Hearing the discussion here, the team's two central defenders who started this game also came over.
No. 2 Hugo Marius, height 174cm, his best position is right back, but he was arranged to play center back in this game. No. 22 Gustavo Cabral, height 182cm, Argentine center back, 30
At 2 years old, he has rich experience and is at the peak of his career!
This season, the defensive line between the two can be said to be prosperous. It is often the shorter Hugo Marius who steps forward to steal, and then Gustavo Cabral presses behind to check for leaks.
fill a vacancy!
"No problem, as long as Gustavo and I are here, he can't change the world!"
Hugo Marius' words suddenly made the atmosphere in the car much more cheerful. In order to guard against Chen Yuyuan, the two of them specially asked Nolivo to play Chen Yuyuan!
This match between Granada and Celta Vigo received a lot of attention!
If Celta can win this game, it will continue to maintain a certain degree of pressure on the first-tier teams: Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid, the three teams at the top of the standings.
If Granada wins this game, there is a high probability that it can enter the top six in the standings and temporarily qualify for the European competition!
Jose Sandoval briefly mobilized everyone in the locker room. The thin lineup made it difficult for Granada to make appropriate rotations, especially in such a critical situation!
Players from the two teams filed out. When Chen Yuyuan's name was read, he was still the most popular one in the entire stadium. But when Celta Vigo's Nolito was read, there were bursts of applause.
!
The past love that could not be achieved makes Granada still remember this Spanish player!
"This is the Estadio Camenes!"
"Granada vs. Celta Vigo."
"Celta Vigo performed well this season and defeated Barcelona led by Enrique 4:1 this season, which is surprising!"
"There is a record that fans may not be aware of. Last season, under the leadership of Nolito, Celta also defeated Barcelona with a score of 1:0!"
"This also makes Celta Vigo become the first team to defeat Enrique's Barcelona twice!"
Jose Sandoval arranged for Chen Yuyuan to start in this game. He needed Chen Yuyuan to put pressure on Celta's defense, and at the same time, he hoped that his midfielder could run smoothly in this game!
Granada fans sang their own songs and watched the brand-new Granada. Celta's success surprised the world, but Granada's performance this season is getting better and better!
"The game officially begins!"
“For Granada’s forward line in this game, Yousef Alabi was placed on the bench!”
"His replacement is Adepoto Peñaranda, a player who has entered the countdown in Granada. He scored three goals in two appearances and won Sandoval's trust in him!"
"He will play the role of the team's center and drive a nail into Celta's defense. This decision seems quite opportune today!"
"Neither Celta Vigo's two central defenders are very tall, but Peñaranda has a certain physical advantage!"
"Granada played very aggressively in this game."
Jose Sandoval was sizing up the situation on the court. His change in tactics caught Celta off guard, and the opponent's midfield organization fell into a brief state of chaos!
Not only Celta, but also the fans watching were a little confused!
Netizens on the Internet are even talking about it!
【Did I see it wrong?】
【I also suspect that I saw it wrong!】
[Yao Shou, Granada is actually suppressing!]
[It’s not a question of whether to press or not, but how dare their head coach press!]
[The point is, when Granada pressed hard, it was not fooled by Celta’s backhand?]
This was a bold attempt. Facing the surging Celta Vigo, Granada played extremely aggressively in this game, which made their pre-match arrangements come to naught!
"Someone once said that Arsenal is the team most like Barcelona!"
"But a 4:1 game told the world that Celta Vigo is the team most like Barcelona!"
"High pressing, strict discipline, positioning and ball control, Sky Sports La Liga expert Balague lamented on Twitter. Celta has demonstrated to everyone how to play Barcelona! That is to play like Barcelona!"
"And now, Granada is confirming this. Sandoval understands the team's strengths and weaknesses very well. He predicted the opponent's prediction and caught the opponent off guard!"
Jose Sandoval looked good. He used to be conservative because he didn't have the players who could decide the outcome of the game, but now he does!
Jose Sandoval's eyes were fixed on Chen Yuyuan, who was looking for opportunities on the court. He had done everything he could, and now it depends on the players' performance on the court!
"Must be quick!"
I prayed silently in my heart that if I could score a goal before Celta could react, then the balance of victory would tilt towards Granada!
Jose Sandoval's tactics on the offensive end are very simple, that is to look for Chen Yuyuan!
This is similar to the tactics used by a famous FM manager player in the future to find Amon!
"These two brownies!"
Chen Yuyuan looked back at his teammates while running forward. Celta Vigo's two central defenders were not tall, but they had quick steps and quick reactions, which put some pressure on him!
"Granada's offense, Chen Yuyuan got the ball, and he dribbled the ball along the middle!"
"Celta's defense was very fast. There were seven defenders in the penalty area, but Granada's players were also pressing hard!"
"Chen Yuyuan chose to give the ball away. Serksese got the ball. He pushed along the wing and Serksese made a pass!"
"This cross was a bit too big, and Reuven Rochner chose to respond!"
"The ball bounced towards the outside of the penalty area!"
"Chen Yuyuan entered the restricted area!"
"Just kick and shoot!"
In a series of dazzling combinations, the quality of Isaac Serksese's cross was not high. Reuven Rochina, who was penetrating forward, noticed Chen Yuyuan outside the penalty area and kicked the ball out with his ankle.
Chen Yuyuan didn't hesitate, he ran forward and started shooting furiously!
Celta's players sacrificed their lives to block the block, and the goalkeeper bent down to prepare for the save!
However, something unexpected happened!
“Peñalanda!”
"The ball hit Peñaranda and refracted into the net!"
“Celta’s goalkeeper was speechless!”
"1:0!"
"Granada took the lead in an unexpected way at home!"
Adepoto Peñalanda looked at the ball in the goal and pointed at his nose with disbelief on his face. Just now he was almost desperate because he found that he was in Chen Yuyuan's shooting path!
He desperately wanted to hide, desperately wanted to hide, but the Celta Vigo players who were fighting hand-to-hand with him didn't even give him a chance to hide!
Thinking of this, Adepoto-Peñaranda glanced down at the speechless Celta player next to him, as if to say, look, look, something bad has happened now!
The ball went in!
Jose Sandoval pumped his fist in celebration. The ball was completely caused by his carefully planned tactics. There is no such thing as an accident!
Chen Yuyuan, who made the goal, also touched his nose. This time he was too embarrassed to run to the corner flagpole to show off. He felt that he was not exerting great force when shooting!
He originally wanted to score with a long shot, but the speed and power of the ball meant that if the shot was on target, it would definitely be blocked!
Because of this, after the ball was scored, Celta's goalkeeper raised his arm to express dissatisfaction.
Granada fans created a huge momentum at the Carmenez Stadium, and at this time Celta also made urgent adjustments.
When the game restarted, Jose Sandoval, who was looking at Celta Vigo, had one word in his mind: "Oh no!"
At this moment, Nolito is not the "celebrating striker" who will transfer to Manchester City in the future!
He interspersed throughout the court and organized Celta's offense, like a drop of water that penetrated all the way, messing up Granada's defense!
At this time, Jose Sandoval realized that now he was facing the powerful Celta Vigo team that had double-killed Barcelona!
Some people say that I will just update two chapters and pat their consciences. I will give you 4-5K for one chapter, okay!!!
Chapter completed!
