Chapter 1393 True God Yang Yang
On the evening of September 1st, at the World Cup Stadium in Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
In the first round of the Russian World Cup qualifiers for the top 12 in the Asian region, China challenged the South Korean team away.
The Chinese team lined up 451. The goalkeeper is Wang Dalei, the defense is Li Xuepeng, Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting and Zhang Linpeng, the midfielder is Hao Junmin, Huang Bowen, Wu Xi, Zhou Haibin and Wu Lei, and the single striker is Gao Lin.
It is said to be four-five-one, but it is actually more like four-three-three, except that the two wingers, Hao Junmin and Wu Lei, often retreat to the midfield.
Queiroz's tactics are very clear. In the away game against South Korea, the Chinese team still needs to base their defense on defense, and then slowly find a way to break the opponent's goal while defending the goal.
More importantly, Queiroz has another trump card, which is Yang Yang.
Yang Yang did not start this game, because the Chinese team will face Iran at home in Shenyang.
In just five days, two consecutive games, and the opponents are very strong, which is also a big challenge for the Chinese team. In addition, Yang Yang traveled a long distance back to Guoqin Wang, and flew to South Korea as soon as he arrived, which is not too different from the national team. Therefore, after communicating with Yang Yang privately, Queiroz decided to let him sit on the bench.
...
After the opening, the South Korean team patiently controlled the ball and took advantage of the home court to push forward steadily.
Without Yang Yang, the Chinese team is equivalent to not having a sharp knife, which makes the defense of the South Korean team feel easy.
Of course, Gao Lin, Wu Lei and Hao Junmin are all foreign nationals in the four major European leagues, and their strength is good, especially Wu Lei, who has performed well in La Liga this season. A sharp knife on the side of the Spaniard played very well.
Zhang Linpeng, who is also studying abroad in the Premier League, is responsible for marking the opposing South Korean left winger Sun Xingmin. This winger who plays for Tottenham Hotspur has played well in the Premier League. He is the number one star in the Korean team and the most threatening player.
After the opening, Sun Xingmin repeatedly used his personal ability to attack, and the South Korean team also continued to create threats on the left.
The Chinese team defended steadily, counterattacked when they seized the opportunity, and played very patiently.
But in the 21st minute of the game, something happened suddenly on the court.
Sun Xingmin once again attacked the Chinese team’s right from the left. Left back Jae-suk Wu quickly stepped forward to attack. Zhang Linpeng fouled when returning to defense and got a yellow card, which also gave South Korea a free kick from the side.
Sun Xingmin quickly made a diagonal pass to the goal. Chi Dongyuan headed the goal from close range. When Zheng Zhi was fighting for the top, he was accidentally touched by Chi Dongyuan's top ball. The ball bounced off the sideline and bounced into the Chinese team. goal.
Wang Dalei can do nothing about such a change, he can only drink the ball from the goal line with hatred.
Zero to one!
The sudden and unexpected conceded goal surprised everyone in the stadium.
Queiroz reacted first, rushed to the sidelines, and called on the Chinese players to remain calm, hold their ground, and not mess up.
If we say that in the past few years, the biggest change between Chinese players and the past must be in their mentality.
They have entered the World Cup four times in a row, and the results are better than the last. The last time they even reached the World Cup finals. Although it was a pity that they failed to win the championship, this achievement also made everyone extremely confident.
After coach Queiroz shouted, captains Zheng Zhi and Feng Xiaoting also appealed to their teammates to stabilize their position.
After the game restarted, the Chinese team continued to play steadily and did not play in a hurry.
"The players handled it well on the pitch."
"Although it is one goal behind, for our Chinese team, it is not time to panic yet."
"We are still sitting on the bench with Yang Yang. I believe that at the critical moment, Queiroz will definitely arrange Yang Yang to play, and Yang Yang will definitely help the team score goals."
"So, now for the players on the pitch, the most important thing is to keep the goal."
...
Yang Yang did not hear the analysis from the commentator of the national TV station in China, because he was sitting on the bench of the stadium and observing the situation.
In the past few years of coaching the Chinese team, Queiroz has not only cultivated many young international footballers, but also opened up the way for Chinese players to study abroad in the Portuguese Super League. It's defense.
The competition in Asia is not very obvious, but in the World Cup, the overall defense of the Chinese team is very good.
In the last World Cup in Brazil, the Chinese team's ability to reach the final was based on defense, so that some media joked that the Chinese team's tactics were ten-man defense and Yang Yang's offense.
But ridicule is ridicule, Queiroz's ability to train defense is still very strong. It took him several years to build the Chinese team into an iron army, with a set of the top solid defense system in Asia, where there are gains and losses. The biggest problem for the Chinese team now is the lack of attack power, which is brought about by a solid defense. The disadvantages that come, especially when Yang Yang is absent.
Now, facing the South Korean team, the situation of the national football team is like this.
Gao Lin, who was at the top, was busy defending. Wu Lei and Hao Junmin retreated frequently. The midfield and backcourt were solid, but the offense in the frontcourt was also sacrificed. In the case of not strong personal ability, the Chinese team's Offensive naturally cannot create chances.
On the contrary, the South Korean team scored a goal, even though it was only an own goal, but it was enough to make them feel like they had been beaten.
Obviously, Stillik wants to eat the Chinese team at home and make a good start for the top twelve.
Queiroz's mentality is the same as the national team's technical and tactical style, stable.
He didn't look in any hurry.
Yang Yang is also not in a hurry. It is a rare opportunity for him to sit on the sidelines, quietly observe the fighting skills of the two head coaches, and analyze their skills, tactics and offensive and defensive systems. This is really a very rare opportunity for him. A lot.
He even decided that he must find time later to study the video of the game.
...
During the halftime break, the Chinese team was behind zero to one, but no substitutions were made.
The start of the second half basically continued the trend of the first half. The Chinese team still defended steadily, and the South Korean team actively pressed forward, obviously wanting to further expand the score.
Stillik knew very well in his heart that Queiroz was pressing Yang Yang on the bench and might play at any time.
Who is Yang Yang?
The number one football player in the world, the [Ball King] recognized by everyone, is still active.
Leaving aside these auras, Yang Yang has played two league games so far this season, scoring five goals and two assists. He was a substitute in three cup games before, scoring three goals and one assist.
This is a monster with hundreds of goals in a single season!
Not to mention that the South Korean team is only leading by one goal now, even if they score two more goals and lead by three goals, they still feel that it is not safe enough.
If God has spirit, Stillik feels that Yang Yang should not be able to play tonight, because this is the prayer of all Korean players, and even all Korean people.
But unfortunately, at the 60th minute, a very ordinary regular substitution time, Yang Yang came on the field.
He replaced Huang Bowen, and the Chinese team's tactics immediately changed to 442.
Stillik walked to the sidelines for the first time and loudly reminded the South Korean internationals to pay attention.
"DANGER! DANGER!!! DANGER!!!"
Stillik shouted three dangers one after another from the sidelines, which shows his fear of Yang Yang.
But no matter how careful he was, he still couldn't stop Yang Yang!
...
In the 69th minute, Yang Yang played for only nine minutes, and the Chinese team completed a defense in the 30-meter area on the right.
Wu Lei took the initiative to return to defense, and cooperated with Zhang Linpeng to stab Sun Xingmin's foot. Then Zhang Linpeng quickly crossed to Zheng Zhi at the front of the penalty area, and the latter sent a kick straight to Zhou Haibin's feet.
Zhou Haibin faced the attacking direction sideways, just stopped the ball, turned around, and immediately sent a long pass with his right foot over the top.
The ball crossed the center line and quickly flew towards the South Korean team's penalty area.
And when everyone was wondering why Zhou Haibin made such a pass, they saw Yang Yang wearing a yellow away jersey, like a bolt of lightning, quickly penetrated the Korean team's defense line and sprinted forward at lightning speed.
South Korean central defender Hong happened to chase back desperately, but he was still one step behind Yang Yang.
The ball landed outside the penalty area of the South Korean team, and at this time Yang Yang had already chased after it. When the ball rebounded, he did not stop the ball, because he knew that as soon as the ball was stopped, the speed would be slow, and Hong happened to block it immediately. in front of him.
He lightly knocked against the ball, and pushed the ball in front of him with his forehead, because he could see clearly that the Korean goalkeeper Zheng Chenglong did not attack, but he continued to catch up with his speed without slowing down. Facing the falling ball, after standing still with his left foot, he used his body to block Hong Zhenghao on the left side, and directly kicked a volley with his right foot.
The timing of this sudden kick made the South Korean central defender and the goalkeeper a little bit astonished. Although they all reacted immediately, they were still a step behind.
Hong just wanted to fall to the ground to block, but he didn't have time, while Zheng Chenglong flew sideways, but the ball got into the South Korean team's goal at a very fast speed.
"The ball went in!!!"
"Yang Yang! Great Yang Yang!"
"Only nine minutes into the game, Yang Yang equalized the score for the Chinese team!"
"One to one!"
After Yang Yang scored the goal, he quickly rushed out of the field and ran all the way to the area where the fans of the Chinese team were.
Facing the Chinese fans in the stands, Yang Yang stretched out his right hand and patted his chest vigorously. He laughed and pointed at the fans, looking very confident, as if the goal just now was nothing to him. A piece of cake.
But behind him, the teammates of the national team were inexplicably excited. This was a goal they failed to score after fighting for more than an hour.
The South Korean players became extremely frustrated because they found that despite their hard work, they still couldn't stop Yang Yang from scoring in the end.
Especially South Korea's number one star Sun Xingmin.
He is highly expected in South Korea, hoping that he can perform well after landing in the Premier League like Yang Yang back then, and finally switch to the giants and reap great success.
He himself had such expectations for himself, and he even thought that he was no worse than Yang Yang.
But tonight, in this stadium, in front of the true god, he knows that he is incomparable with Yang Yang!
