Different from the previous national team, domestic fans have high hopes for the national football team to go to the World Cup this time.
Last summer, the National Youth team won the championship in the World Youth Championship and won a lot of applause. At the same time, it also let many national youth players stay in the European League. After a year of tempering, everyone has improved their strength.
Chen Tao performed very well in Anderlecht, and has already played the main role in the field.
Feng Xiaoting also played the main role in Feyenoord of the Dutch League in the second half, and his performance is also remarkable.
Although Gao Lin is not the main force in Alkmaar, he is the focus of the team ’s cultivation. Van Gaal is also favored by him. He is almost a substitute on the field. From time to time, especially in the penultimate round of the Netherlands, he is on the bench. He scored a goal when he played.
Zhou Haibin has shown a certain degree of competitiveness in Benfica, and is also very promising to gain a foothold in the new season, and Hao Junmin, who plays for Hamburg, is an important substitute for the team and also plays an important role.
There are also Zheng Zhi playing for Mainz, Zhao Junzhe and Du Wei playing for the Super Celtics.
The Chinese team's overseas team is blooming everywhere, showing a pretty good level.
But the most exciting thing is that in the past two years, it has become red and purple. Yang Yang, known as the top star in Europe and the first star in Asia, scored 44 goals in the Dutch League last season. Twelve goals scored in the Champions League, showing an amazing scoring ability.
Everyone believes that as long as Ali Han ’s national team uses Yang Yang, the Chinese team is absolutely capable of achieving a zero breakthrough in the World Cup.
As for the results, everyone does not have high hopes, after all, the last World Cup lost too badly.
...
Not only did China have high hopes for the German World Cup, but Arihan and the national team also looked forward to it.
As early as the end of April and the beginning of May, the national team used the league period to organize a short-term flight training, the purpose of which was to check the physical fitness of the players and to smooth the team, but only recruited domestic players.
By mid-May, the national team officially announced the big roster, and everyone discovered that young players had begun to occupy half of the national team. Not only a few young foreign players were selected, but even Zhao Xuri and Cui Peng who remained in the country Other players have also been selected for this national team.
Sun Jihai, Li Tie, Shao Jiayi and other internationals were also selected in the same year, but everyone is more worried about Li Tie. He has not played a game for a year. People are not at ease.
Unconsciously completed the metabolism, the entire mental outlook of the national team is also completely new.
The young internationals who have won the World Youth Championship are obviously more courageous and more confident.
The only flaw is that you are younger and need time to grow and progress.
Domestic fans also strongly support this, after all, the World Cup is also a rare exercise opportunity.
...
Starting from Beijing on May 27, the team went directly to France and played a warm-up match with the French national team.
The two sides played three to two, the French team won slightly, and the Chinese team scored a goal by Yang Yang and Zheng Zhi.
The score can only reflect part of it. In fact, the Chinese team played awkwardly throughout the game, mainly on defense.
This is also the purpose of Arihan to arrange this warm-up match, that is to use the powerful France to temper the defense of the Chinese team, and find loopholes and hidden dangers, to be resolved before the World Cup.
Defensive counterattack, this is the World Cup tactics developed by Ali Han for the Chinese team.
Zidane missed a penalty in the game, but the teenager Ribery came off the bench very well. If it were not for him, the Chinese team had won 2-1, but Ribery ’s outstanding performance was on the left. Directed two goals in just two minutes and performed very eye-catching.
When Yang Yang talked to Zidane and Henry after the game, he also met the French star by the way. He has a feeling that Ribery will be one of the strongest players in the new generation of France.
This is known from his performance after coming off the bench.
This game exposed the defensive problems of the Chinese team on the right, whether it is Xu Yunlong or Wei Xin, there are obviously certain hidden dangers.
After this game, Alihan made the decision to use Sun Jihai.
After the two had a frank and open conversation in the team, the two sides reached an agreement.
After arriving in Germany from France, the Chinese team played a second warm-up match.
This time the opponent is Côte d’ Ivoire from the west coast of Africa.
After a long absence, Sun Jihai finally returned to the right back position. The whole performance was very outstanding, and Yang Yang sent an assist, but the Chinese team eventually lost to Côte d'Ivoire one to two.
Yaya Touré and Drogba performed very well.
Two consecutive defeats, the news came back to the country, and then there was a lot of sorrow.
Many media have accused the performance of the national team, thinking that the national football players obviously did not come up with their best state.
Alihan responded on behalf of the national team, saying that the players have tried their best, and the two-game losing streak in the warm-up game is not the end of the world. The early exposure of the problem is more conducive to the team to solve the problem.
In an interview with domestic authoritative media, Yang Yang also said that the atmosphere within the team is very good, everyone is focused on adjustment and preparation, and there is no slight slack.
"While the warm-up two-game losing streak is somewhat disappointing, but we also have to look at our opponents. It goes without saying that France's strength is equally good. The two teams are not weak at all."
The third warm-up match for the Chinese team in Europe was played in Germany against Costa Rica.
The two sides scored one to one. Yang Yang did not score a goal, but Chen Tao assisted and scored a goal.
In the end, the warm-up match of the Chinese team ended with three wins with one draw and two losses.
Although the domestic media have questioned it, the national team gave a good evaluation of the team's performance when summing up.
The most important thing is not to expose the problem, but whether the problem has been solved.
Through three warm-up matches, the national team gradually came out of their lineup.
If there is no accident, Li Leilei will serve as the main goalkeeper, he is the most stable goalkeeper in the Super League this season.
On the left, Sun Xiang was injured and missed. Cao Yang, who performed well in the league, replaced Sun Jihai on the right. Zhong Wei was Feng Xiaoting and Li Weifeng. Zheng Zhi will be pushed to the midfield position.
After a polished season in the Netherlands, especially in the second half, Feng Xiaoting showed a very good strength, and he took the ball and the ball was very good, which also made Ali Han entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.
After Zheng Zhi returns to the midfield, Zhao Junzhe and Zhou Haibin will assume two other midfield positions.
After joining the Portuguese Super League for a season, Zhou Haibin had many opportunities to play. Although he was more of a substitute, he also showed a certain strength, and also had an impressive performance. Even Benfica even played in the Champions League. Played off the bench.
It is not difficult to see that Benfica attaches great importance to this Chinese teenager.
Zhou Haibin, both offensive and defensive, is regarded by Ali Han as the core of Chinese football's midfield in the next ten years and has high hopes.
On the front line, Gao Lin replaced Han Peng, who was the most popular voice, and became Yang Yang's partner on the front line.
The trident of the National Youth Team will be reproduced in the national team, and they are all composed of foreign players. This is why the team can score in all three warm-up matches. Arihan particularly values the understanding between the three National Youth players. .
Commenting on the performance of the warm-up match, he even stated that as long as the Chinese team can defend, Yang Yang will definitely be able to score.
"I even dare to say that as long as our defense does not go wrong, we have a chance to score, or even win a victory, to achieve a zero breakthrough in the World Cup in the history of Chinese football."
"Because, we have Yang Yang!"
…………
…………
From Yang Yang ’s return to the country, to the preparation of the national team for the World Cup, it took almost a month.
During this period, the phone door incident quickly fermented and quickly spread to the Italian Football Association.
Football players all over the world have been shocked by this scandal of Italian football. UEFA and FIFA have also responded quickly, and many referees who originally planned to enforce the World Cup have also been disqualified.
The Serie A brand was ruined in an instant, and it was hit terribly.
Juventus, Lazio, AC Milan, Florence and other four clubs have been seriously questioned. Especially Juventus, after the stock plunged by 10%, it was suspended.
Almost all Serie A players have the idea of fleeing Italy, which also gives everyone a feeling that Italian football is likely to collapse and even collapse.
Simultaneous with the telephone door incident was Real Madrid ’s presidential election.
The two campaign forces headed by Martin and Calderon launched a fierce competition. Both sides used Yang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo as campaign stars. Madrid Real Madrid fans were quickly divided into two camps.
Interestingly, the Chinese team's opponent in the World Cup group stage is Portugal.
Both teams are divided into Group D. The other two teams are Angola from Africa and Mexico from North America.
It is precisely because of this, so the Chinese team's previous three warm-up matches will arrange France, Côte d'Ivoire and Costa Rica.
As a result, many Spanish media have also paid attention to the Group D game, thinking that this will be a duel between Yang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo.
But there are also many fans who are upset about Yang Yang, because everyone knows that the overall strength of the Chinese team is much weaker than Portugal. Even if Yang Yang's personal strength is better than Cristiano Ronaldo, there is no way to change this fact.
But this still cannot stop the hype of the world's major media.
Yang Yang and Cristiano Ronal are similar for many years, and they are all rookies that have emerged in European football in the past two years. Naturally, it is easy to be compared.
"These people are really boring!"
"Just finished you Messi with you, and now you are more than Cristiano Ronaldo. How tired are you to fight each other?"
Su Ye said distressedly on the phone.
Yang Yang was eager to try.
He has been famous for Cristiano Ronaldo, but he hasn't seen it on the court yet.
