v3 Chapter 244： The group of death [fifth burst liver, please subscribe to the monthly ticket]

Yang Yang originally thought he had no fans in Japan because the Japanese always look down on Chinese football.

What he did not expect was that when Ajax took a flight and crossed half of the earth and arrived at Narita Airport in Tokyo, Japan, a large number of Japanese fans came to the airport to pick up.

Many of them were wearing Ajax No. 11 jerseys, under the banner of welcoming Yang Yang. When they saw Ajax players appear, they were very enthusiastic and flew towards Ajax. Go up, especially the most striking Yang Yang.

The Toyota Cup is held in East Asia, Ajax is the Champions League champion, Yang Yang is currently the only Asian player in the Ajax team, and he has just won the European Golden Boy Award, known as under the age of 21 The most talented and outstanding young players.

Coupled with the lore in the UEFA Champions League final six months ago, and the outstanding performance in the Asian Cup.

All of the past has made Yang Yang super attractive in the Asian region, and the limelight has long overshadowed the international team of South Korea and Japan.

The Ajax player has just leaped more than half of the earth, already exhausted and exhausted, but Yang Yang, but still full of energy, facing the signature requirements of Japanese fans and fans, he is a comer.

Soon, he saw Wei Zhen from China in the crowd.

Wei Zhen finally squeezed away the fans and peers and came to Yang Yang, which made his image quite embarrassing.

"Brother Wei, I'm so embarrassed, I didn't expect that there were so many Japanese fans." Yang Yang looked at him and laughed.

Wei Zhen shrugged depressively, and he couldn't help it anymore. "They always worship the strong."

Yang Yang raised his eyebrows. Am I a strong man?

Well, the taste of being a strong man is also quite good.

"This is the last Toyota Cup. It has little influence internationally, but domestic media and fans attach great importance to this Toyota Cup. There will also be many Chinese fans on the scene to watch the game. The TV station also arranged me to follow up the report. "

Yang Yang nodded, "OK, but I'm afraid it won't work tonight. Tomorrow, I will apply to the team and accept your interview."

"Okay, set the time, contact me."

After sending away Wei Zhen, Yang Yang was soon surrounded by enthusiastic Japanese fans, and there were not girls fans. They all yelled Yang Yang's name and extended their hands hard, trying to hold Yang Yang.

That passionate look made Yang Yang feel a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, the airport's ground handling and security guards were well prepared, and soon they came forward to clear Yang Yang and escorted Yang Yang all the way to the bus that was ready in advance and parked at the door.

"Hey, Yang, didn't you say that you are a dead enemy with Japan?" Haitinga asked curiously.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Yang Yang turned around and asked with a smile.

"Then why do they still like you so much?"

Yang Yang chuckled and suddenly remembered what Wei Zhen said, "They always worship the strong."

"What? Strong?" Heitinga expressed an incredible expression. "Are you talking about you?"

With that said, Captain Ajax deliberately unzipped the jacket, revealing the sturdy chest and abdominal muscles outlined in a personal training suit, showing off towards Yang Yang for a while.

The bus immediately burst into laughter.

"It makes sense to say that, you are really strong and strong." Yang Yang nodded and praised.

However, when Haiting Jia was proud to show off his muscles, Yang Yang turned around, "However, in general, female fans are chasing players because they are stronger or he looks handsome, since I don't have you If you are stronger than you, then you can only prove that I ... "

Heitinga didn't wait for him to finish talking, and immediately zipped up his coat, "No, no, no, you are still strong."

The crowd laughed again.

Between strong and handsome, Heidinga chose the handsome without hesitation.

For the Toyota Cup, Ajax does not pay much attention to the top and bottom, because this time the opponent is from the Colombian Libertadores Black Horse Caldas, the strength is not strong.

As long as the team adjusts slightly and plays normally, there is no problem in defeating the opponent.

What really surprised Ajax was that Yang Yang was so favored in Japan.

If, on the day of the team ’s arrival, the enthusiastic fans went to the airport to pick up the airport, it has made everyone in Ajax feel the influence of Yang Yang in Asia. Then, the next day, the team ’s first training session in Yokohama The fact that it was packed with fans and journalists surprised everyone.

There is no doubt that they all came to Yang Yang.

For this situation, Yang Yang himself was somewhat flattered.

After the restorative training, the team specially arranged him, Sneijder and Maxwell to interact with the live fans, and also made an exception to arrange Yang Yang to be interviewed by live media reporters.

This group of reporters is not only from Japan, but also several Chinese and Korean media.

It can be said that so far, Yang Yang has almost represented the highest level of Asian players staying abroad, the Champions League lore, the European Golden Boy Award, which is an honor that all Asian overseas players have never received in the past.

In this regard, Yang Yang humbly stated that his career has just begun, which is more of an encouragement.

Ajax's performance this season is not very satisfactory, but Yang Yang firmly believes that the team will improve in the second half, and also said that it will strive to play a higher competitive state in the second half.

There were also reporters from Japan who asked Yang Yang about the draw results of the Asian quarter-finals in the World Cup qualifiers that just ended a few days ago. They wanted to know Yang Yang's views on the draw results.

After the Chinese team defeated Kuwait, the national football team successfully qualified from the group and advanced to the quarterfinals.

The draw rules for this quarter-finals are based on the results of the 2002 World Cup qualifiers, South Korea and Japan are placed in the first gear, China and Saudi Arabia are placed in the second gear, Iran and Uzbekistan Stan was placed in third gear, Bahrain and North Korea were placed in fourth gear.

Since November, all teams that are expected to enter the quarterfinals have public relations in the AFC. They are eager to avoid the Iranian team in the third gear, because everyone knows that drawing Iran is equivalent to drawing in. The group of death.

But there are only two groups in the quarterfinals, either Japan or South Korea.

The final result was that in the lottery ceremony held in Kuala Lumpur on December 9, South Korea won Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan and Bahrain, and Japan won China, Iran and North Korea.

In other words, China was drawn into the death group.

As soon as the lottery result was released, Wei Zhen had passed the news to Yang Yang for the first time.

"This is really not a lucky draw. We have drawn into the same group with the two most powerful teams in Asia. North Korea also has a strong competitiveness. The situation in this group is indeed very bad."

Yang Yang answered the media questions solemnly, "but I want to say that we are confident to face all difficulties and challenges."

"Whether it is Japan or Iran, we are no strangers. We have played against these two teams in the Asian Cup. I think we have the strength to win. Of course, this requires everyone to work together and work together."

When the Japanese media asked Yang Yang to guess the final situation of this group, Yang Yang smiled and said, "I hope to see China, Japan and Iran go hand in hand."

This is a very clever answer.

According to the rules of the group stage, the top two of the group directly advance, and two third places will play in the playoffs. The winning team will compete with the fourth place in North and Central America for a ticket to the German World Cup.

Yang Yang's answer won him warm applause at the scene.

But soon a Japanese reporter picked up on him and asked him about the act of actively intimidating the referee in the Asian Cup final, which made the originally relaxed atmosphere on the scene very embarrassing.

Yang Yang also smiled, and said righteously, "Even now, I still insist that it is a handball, and it is intentional handball. I can understand that Japanese players at the time did not recognize this for national interests. Facts, but I ca n’t understand that today, in the face of indisputable facts, there are people who are reluctant to accept the truth. "

The Japanese reporter in question did not expect that Yang Yang would suddenly be so tit-for-tat, but rather embarrassed.

Yang Yang was not interested in interviewing anymore. After politely apologizing to the fans and media reporters on the spot, he turned and left.

As for the reporter who broke up, he ran away in vain under the hostility of many colleagues.

…………

On the third night of the team's arrival in Yokohama, at the Yokohama Stadium in the World Cup finals, under the witness of nearly 60,000 fans, the last Toyota Cup officially kicked off.

Caldas confronted European giants with a defensive counterattack.

The Colombian team had arrived in Japan early on December 1st, and had been training and preparing for half a month here. It can be said that they played against Ajax at their best.

In contrast, Ajax, not to mention the long journey, just played the game four days ago, the physical energy consumption is huge.

Ronald Coleman also knew in his heart that the team's physical fitness is in a disadvantageous state and they must kill their opponents in the first half.

Therefore, from the beginning of the game, Ajax took a proactive attitude and firmly suppressed Caldas.

In just four minutes of the opening, Yang Yang made a cross from the right and Charles Steas headed the ball from close range and hit the crossbar.

Although he failed to score a goal, but also surprised the opponent's cold sweat.

Then came the attack planned from the right. Maikong crossed from the right and Wesley Songk volleyed afterwards. However, he hit the post and rebounded out of the bottom line again.

But in the second consecutive center post, when everyone was worried that Ajax ’s luck and condition were not ideal, Yang Yang stepped forward and leaned on the opponent ’s central defender with Charlie Steas, turning the diagonal from the left. When the pass was stopped to Yang Yang, Yang Yang took a defensive player and took a left foot volley to break the deadlock on the field.

The goal was broken and Caldas couldn't keep it anymore.

The dark horse of Colombia can only take the initiative to attack in the second half. On the one hand, Ajax is a homeopathic enemy, on the other hand, his physical fitness is so bad that he has to retreat and concentrate on defensive counterattack.

In a quick counterattack in the 64th minute of the second half, Yang Yang passed the two players with a pendulum and crossed to the left. Wesley Songk quickly followed the shot and expanded the score. Two to zero.

In the end, Ajax defeated Caldas with Yang Yang's pass and shot, and successfully took the last Toyota Cup.

Yang Yang also won the best player by virtue of the outstanding performance of this game and got a Toyota.
