"Just got the news, Yang Yang has arrived in Tehran."
In the hotel where the Iranian national team stayed, the coach Ivankovic soon received intelligence from the opponent.
He has always specially arranged to stare at the movement of the Chinese team, in order to grasp all the actions of his opponents.
Among them, the focus of his most concern is 18-year-old Yang Yang.
A Chinese genius who won the Asian Cup title and best player title at the age of seventeen, and this season again shined in the Dutch League, scoring 16 goals and 10 assists in 20 rounds, such an amazing result Single, it really makes people have to pay attention.
Champions League champion, European golden boy, the halo above Yang Yang is really dazzling.
If possible, Ivankovic even hoped he would not come.
But it is a pity that such a player is not a weak Chinese team. Even if you look at the world, I am afraid that only top teams like Brazil will ignore it.
"When did you arrive?" Ivankovic asked with concern.
"Noon today, and participated in the afternoon training class."
"He has just participated in the Dutch game, against Feyenoord, two goals, one assist, and was elected the best player of the game, the limelight even overshadowed the Dutch striker Kuyt."
Listening to the assistant's report, Ivankovic's face also became more dignified.
Yang Yang's strength is undoubtedly, he will definitely be the most threatening player of the Chinese team, and it will certainly be the most important player in Iran that needs attention and marking. This has already been proven in the Asian Cup semi-finals.
But now Iran is no longer the Iran half a year ago.
After returning from a disastrous defeat in the Asian Cup, Ivankovic and the Iran Football Association also felt painful, and both sides were determined to make adjustments.
One of the most important points is to re-call the midfielder Chandi who played for Kaiserslautern.
Ferry Chandi, 25 years old, currently playing in Bundesliga Kaiserslautern, wearing a number ten jersey, from the jersey number can see his position in this team, this season in the Bundesliga played very well outstanding.
Before, there was a personal grievance between Chandi and the chairman of the Iran Football Association, so he has been unwilling to play for the Iranian national team. Once again accept the call to return to the team.
Chandi's return will undoubtedly make Iran even more powerful.
Karimi, Aridei, Madhaviyakya, Hashmian, plus a Chandi, the overall lineup of the Iranian team can be described as arrogant, the overall strength can not be overrun the Chinese team.
But Yang Yang was like a sharp dagger, always aimed at the heart of Iran, so Ivankovic did not dare to carelessly.
"The government has ordered that this game will be free for the public, and everyone can enter the Azadi Stadium to watch the game. It is expected that the number will exceed 100,000. By then, the entire stadium will create great psychological pressure on the opponent." The assistant coach analyzed.
Ivankovic nodded.
Those who have not personally experienced at Azadi Stadium can never understand how terrifying the first devil in Asia is at home.
Iran can get such an amazing win rate at this stadium, it is definitely not just bluff.
"Other players on the Chinese team may be frightened by home advantage, but Yang Yang should not be." Ivankovic said.
"why?"
"You think a player who can score a lore in the Champions League final at the age of seventeen and an Ajax flag in the Dutch League at the age of eighteen. Will he be intimidated by our home momentum?"
The assistant coach also made sense, "But at least it should have a little impact?"
"It's hard to say, but we have to prepare for the worst, so we must stare at him in this game."

On the day of the game, in the morning.
When the internationals wake up, they are ready to go to breakfast after washing, and they haven't seen Yang Yang go out yet.
"Yang Yang?"
"Haven't you got up yet?"
"It's estimated to be a bit tiring. He traveled a long distance, letting him sleep for a while and getting energetic at night."
As he was talking, he saw Zheng Zhi open the door and everyone immediately asked Yang Yang with concern.
"He? Woke up a long time ago. I accompanied him to run around the hotel for a few kilometers. After returning, I plunged into the hotel's gym." Zheng Zhi smiled bitterly.
"What? Tonight, he's going to run again and go to the gym?" The internationals were all surprised.
After doing so, how can you devote yourself to the game tonight?
"I also asked him this way, but he said that today ’s training volume is much less than usual, but just resume proper adjustments. As long as it is properly controlled, it will not affect the game tonight, but will help the activation state, and he is noon Continue swimming. "
All the international players are talking, is this okay?
However, during the Asian Cup, they were also accustomed to Yang Yang's own training style.
In fact, during the entire Asian Cup game, Yang Yang not only maintained his state very well, but also maintained a high level of performance, which made people have to admire.
Zheng Zhi was also infected by Yang Yang. He only accompanied him to a penalty kick in the morning, but he still lost.
He also began to realize that after Yang Yang passed a series of scientific trainings, the physical quality of the whole person has begun to surpass that of the current national team. Not only is his physical fitness outstanding, but his physical confrontation has also improved significantly.
Don't look at his thin appearance, it gives a feeling of little power, but actually it is not easy to want to squeeze him away.
Out of curiosity, internationals have come to the hotel's gym.
Through the transparent curtain wall glass, they saw Yang Yang, who was already sweating on the bicycle in the gym.
Wearing a pair of sports shorts and naked upper body, it seems that it is no longer the thinness during the Asian Cup, and the muscle groups in various parts are already quite obvious. This is obviously the result of his hard training in the past.
All of them can be selected by Alihan and selected into the national team, and they are all the best among domestic players, but at this moment, they personally watched Yang Yang train so hard in the gym, but he could not help but feel ashamed.
According to the standards of domestic players, Yang Yang has already become the first star in China, but he is still so hard-working and so diligent. How can he not be ashamed?
"He is holding on to fighting for Iran now. After returning to the Netherlands, he will compete with Kuyt for the shooter king and help Ajax compete for the Dutch championship, which makes him full of motivation." Zheng Chi said with admiration.
He is a few years older than Yang Yang, but he is not as good as football.
But he will work hard to learn from Yang Yang.
He also has his own ideals and goals.
…………
…………
When the Chinese team walked into the Azadi Stadium, the whole stadium burst into crazy boos.
Overwhelming, as if the sky had fallen.
This surprised the internationals who have just walked out of the player's tunnel.
Yang Yang looked up and yelled obediently.
This is a comprehensive stadium. The stadium is in the middle, and there is a wide track and track between the stands. This was originally not conducive to the fans to create sound waves, but it could not hold up.
At this moment, all the black people in the stands are full of people, and even the surrounding wall of the top floor of the stands is full of fans. The scene of the crowd is like a stabbed ant nest, which makes people unbearable. Goose bumps.
If it's just a large number of people, then that's all.
Unfortunately, this group of fans is also very organized.
Dense drums sounded at the scene, and every two drums, the fans at the scene made a cry.
The cry made by more than 100,000 fans in unison seemed like to collapse the whole stadium, and it was more like a cry from the abyss of hell, which made people feel a creepy feeling.
Two drums and one cry.
Iranian fans support their team in this way.
The Chinese team players were indeed taken aback by this sudden battle when they stepped into the court.
It's terrifying!
This is the home of the first devil in Asia!
"Good boy, is this a bit of a battle?"
"Yes, I didn't feel much about the 100,000 fans, but now ..."
Yang Yang was really taken aback at first, but that was just a sudden shock, and he quickly calmed down. Instead, it was his fighting spirit.
I do n’t know if it was influenced by Ibrahimović, he really has a very strong idea now, that is to break through their goal under the eyes of more than 100,000 pairs of fans, it will be unforgettable for life. A delight.
…………

Alihan is obviously also worried about the Iranian devil at home.
As early as before the game, he has repeatedly stressed that the team should pay attention to defense, and this game he will also be discharged in a forty-one formation, Yang Yang will serve as the team's single forward, the midfielder will play a five-man defensive posture.
This is not a weakness, but a very wise choice.
In the Azadi Stadium, it is absolutely dead to face Iran.
Especially considering that the overall strength of the Chinese team is weaker than that of Iran, Chandi's return has exacerbated the gap in strength.
When the players finished their pre-match training and returned to the locker room, Alihan also repeatedly emphasized that the team should grasp the defense.
"This is their home court. For them, home court has an absolute advantage, but it is also a pressure. They have not lost here, so they will want to win, they will want to eat from the beginning. we."
"At this time, what we should do is to do our best to grasp the defense, wait patiently for the opportunity to counterattack, and when the opportunity arises, grab him!"
"Candi's return really strengthened Iran's strength, but this is only the strength on paper. It may not be reflected in the game because he has been away from the national team for a long time and may not be able to cooperate with his teammates."
"So, I believe that as long as we can stand loneliness and keep the goal, we will definitely have a chance!"
In this game, Ai Han has three defensive midfielders. Shao Jiayi was replaced on the left. He made it clear that he wanted to fight back. This is also the only way for the Chinese team to win.
And it turns out that the Iranian team really launched a sharp attack from the beginning.
Iranian players headed by Karimi, Chandi and Aridei attacked as soon as they opened the court and repeatedly created dangerous situations in front of the Chinese team.
The Chinese team was forced to retreat to their own half, and the back line led by Zheng Zhi and Li Weifeng was forced to the restricted area.
There was a lot of noise in front of the goal, and the goal was also at stake.
