Chapter 1395 Without Yang Yang...

On the evening of September 6th, Shenyang Olympic Sports Center.

In the second round of the Asian Top 12 qualifiers for the World Cup, China played against Iran at home.

Before the game, the Chinese team, wearing a red home jersey, walked out of the player channel under the leadership of captain Zheng Zhi, and was warmly welcomed by the fans, especially Yang Yang, who had just staged a hat-trick in Seoul, South Korea, helping the national football team to reverse Korea away.

There were people everywhere in the stands, and everywhere fans hung up slogans and banners for Yang Yang.

Especially when the national anthem was played on the field, all the fans on the scene stood up and sang the national anthem loudly with the players, and the passionate national anthem also made everyone on the scene excited.

Iran is not a weak team, but the Chinese team is not good at it either.

Yang Yang started the game and served as the team's lone striker. The Chinese team still adopted a four-five formation.

Under the threat and deterrence of Yang Yang, especially the 3-1 reversal of South Korea in the first game, the Iranian team did not dare to be careless, and it was another away game. They took the initiative to adopt steady tactics and were cautious after the opening.

The Chinese team also played very patiently, and did not blindly push the big ones, and took the initiative to press on.

This is also a performance of the team's maturity.

The game was relatively uneventful. Iran deployed heavy troops around Yang Yang, and there were at least two players around Yang Yang at all times. I was afraid that if I was not careful, I would repeat the same mistakes as the South Korean team.

The first half ended with a score of 0-0, but after the second half changed sides and fought again, the Iranian team's formation had some prerequisites, and the pressing force in the midfield was also increasing. Obviously, they were not satisfied with the current situation, but wanted to Try to push.

The Chinese team is still playing steadily, and the whole team still focuses on steady defense.

When it comes to overall strength, the national football team is at best on par with the Iranian team, with Yang Yang leading the way.

Queiroz is very clear that the Chinese team is to play as a whole, to defend and counterattack, and to give full play to the threat of Yang Yang.

This is why even if the Chinese team reached the World Cup finals, they were still ridiculed as ten-man defense and Yang Yang's offense.

To put it bluntly, without Yang Yang, the Chinese team is nothing more than a strong Asian team.

Even in the face of Iran and South Korea, there may not be much chance of winning.

But it's different with Yang Yang.

As soon as Iran emerged, Yang Yang punched him back hard.

In the 71st minute, right back Zhang Linpeng intercepted the ball near the center line and quickly passed it to Zhang Xizhe in front. Zhang Xizhe turned around and sent a through ball, penetrating Iran's defense.

Yang Yang, who was in front, sprinted forward quickly, ahead of the opponent's defender, and stopped Zhang Xizhe's direct pass on the right side of the penalty area. One buckle.

This dunk just allowed Yang Yang to avoid the sliding tackle of the opponent's central defender, and at the same time dunked a shooting angle.

The goalkeeper attacked, but was blocked by the central defender's sliding tackle.

At this critical moment, Yang Yang almost dunked over just right, and with a lob shot with his left foot, the ball trembled and fell towards the empty goal behind the goalkeeper.

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"The Chinese team scored a goal!"

"Yang Yang's kick shot in the 71st minute broke the deadlock for the Chinese team, 1-0!"

"Oh my god, Yang Yang's reaction was really fast. He obviously had already thought about how to deal with it before he caught the ball, so he didn't procrastinate, but faced the opposing central defender and goalkeeper with a shovel, and directly gave the ball to him. Buckle it back."

"beautiful!"

"This is definitely a manifestation of Yang Yang's personal ability!"

The whole Shenyang Olympic Sports Center was shouting Yang Yang's name frantically.

Throughout China, countless fans watched the live broadcast of the game in every corner of the city, cheering excitedly for Yang Yang's goal!

No matter how many goals he scored for Real Madrid in Europe, for Chinese fans, that is too far away, far less than the pride and excitement he brought to his motherland by wearing this red national team jersey!

He is the pride of Chinese football! It is the pride of the Chinese sports world! It is the pride of all Chinese people!

...

"Yang Yang's condition is indeed very good."

"In the last away game against South Korea, he came off the bench and scored a hat-trick. Now he is playing against Iran at home, and he scored another key goal. It is obvious that Iran's defense line in the second half has been improved. Their defensive players can't keep up with Yang Yang's rhythm."

"Of course, the most important thing is Yang Yang's own ability."

"I still remember that at the G20 summit not long ago, Argentine President Mauricio took the initiative to mention Yang Yang when he met with the country's top leaders, and our country's leaders knew that Macri was a fan, and specially presented a piece of Yang Yang's national team. The jersey means that Yang Yang wore this jersey and led the Chinese team to the World Cup final."

"It can be said that today's Yang Yang is not only the pride of Chinese football, but also the pride of every Chinese!"

"He made the whole world know China and Chinese football again, and made everyone in our country believe that as long as we continue to invest and continue to develop, Chinese football will not lose to any country or team in the world. .”

...

After Yang Yang scored a goal, the Iranian team, like South Korea, did not choose to attack, but played more safely.

Obviously, they are also the same as the South Korean team. As Stillik said, they are afraid that they will accidentally advance to the premise and be pierced by Yang Yang again behind them.

But even if Iran tried to stabilize the defense, it still couldn't stop Yang Yang in the end.

In the 84th minute, the Chinese team sent the ball into the penalty area again.

Sun Ke, who came off the bench, sent an overhead kick and tried to find Yang Yang in the penalty area. Yang Yang also ran to his position and picked the ball first, avoiding the defenders, and wanted to hit the goal directly, but just At this time, he was fouled by the opponent's defender Hosseini, and the whole person fell directly in the penalty area.

It was a very, very obvious foul, the referee pointed to the penalty without hesitation, and Hosseini also got a yellow card.

After Yang Yang got up from the ground, he picked up the ball and walked straight to the penalty spot.

But just when everyone thought he was going to take the penalty himself, he turned around and walked towards Wu Lei after putting the ball away.

"This ball... you take the penalty!"

Wu Lei couldn't believe it, this was a penalty!

"Scoring goals is based on a feeling. After piercing that layer of window paper, scoring goals is a matter of course."

Everyone around understood that this was Yang Yang supporting Wu Lei.

Recently, Wu Lei's performance in the national team has not been very satisfactory, which puts him under a lot of pressure.

Sometimes, one goal can really change a lot of things.

Wu Lei hugged Yang Yang gratefully, turned around and walked to the penalty spot, and personally took the knife to score the penalty kick cleanly.

Two to zero!

In the end, the Chinese team also relied on Yang Yang and Wu Lei's penalty kicks to defeat Iran 2-0 and won two consecutive victories in the group.

Surprisingly, the South Korean team drew 0-0 with Syria in a neutral position, which was surprising.

After losing to the Chinese team in the first game, they failed to win Syria in the second round. This start is really unbelievable.

The Chinese team ranked first in the group with two consecutive victories. Uzbekistan defeated Qatar 1-0 in the away game, and also won two consecutive victories. Qatar lost both games and fell to the bottom of the group.

…………

…………

Win both games!

After two rounds of the Top 12 match, domestic morale is high.

All the fans celebrated with singing and dancing, and the media praised the performance of the national team, especially Yang Yang.

Two games, five goals, he scored four by himself, and he voluntarily gave up the last one. Everyone really understands the important value of Yang Yang to the current national team.

Even to a certain extent, the Chinese team needs to rely on Yang Yang in a strong dialogue like the top twelve.

Without Yang Yang, the national football team would be unable to move forward!

...

Returning from Shenyang to Beijing, Yang Yang was warmly welcomed by domestic fans all the way, and received lofty treatment that other international players envied, but he had no time to stay in China.

On the afternoon of September 10th, Real Madrid will face Villarreal at the Bernabéu Stadium, and then they will play Sporting Lisbon in the UEFA Champions League group stage. Yang Yang has no time to stop and flies to Europe on the same day.

When he arrived in Europe, Yang Yang changed planes to fly to Madrid.

After each national team match day, Zidane and Pintus will consider the physical condition of Real Madrid players, and will be especially cautious about the international players participating in South America. Yang Yang traveled farther back to Asia this time than the South American international players. Playing two games in a row is naturally the focus of Real Madrid's coaching staff.

After several considerations, Zidane decided to put Yang Yang on the bench.

Real Madrid without Yang Yang, coupled with the influence of the national team game, still played very awkwardly at the Bernabéu Stadium, and the offense failed to open the situation for a long time. On the contrary, in the stoppage time of the first half, Ramos made a handball foul in the penalty area , gave Villarreal a penalty, and the yellow submarine midfielder Bruno Soriano made the penalty himself.

Just three minutes into the second half, Ramos atoned for his sins, took a corner kick and scored with a header to equalize the score for Real Madrid.

Afterwards, the two teams fought and defended each other, and Real Madrid as a whole still performed steadily. Villarreal is not as strong as Real Madrid, so naturally it can't make much trouble, but what is surprising is that Zidane did not replace Yang Yang in three substitutions. .

In the end, Real Madrid drew with Villarreal 1-1 at home.

After the game, Yang Yang did not let Zidane directly face the media, but took the initiative to accept an interview and said that this was with his own consent.

"I think Real Madrid really need to learn to play without Yang Yang, which is more beneficial to the team."

"The reason for this round of rest is simple, we need to win the Champions League group stage in three days' time."

What Yang Yang said was that three days later, Real Madrid will host Sporting Lisbon at home.

Leading the standings at the beginning of the league, Real Madrid does not mind losing some points in the league after gaining the point advantage, in exchange for players, especially Yang Yang, more time to rest and adjust.
