On the evening of November 15th, Kunming, China.
In the fifth round of the Russian World Cup qualifiers for the Asian Top 12, the Chinese team played against Qatar at home.
This game is a crucial decisive battle for both teams.
After the first two consecutive victories, due to the absence of Yang Yang due to injury, the Chinese team then ushered in a draw and a loss. The group ranking also fell rapidly, falling to third place, which is still behind Iran and Uzbekistan.
If Qatar cannot be won in this game, then the difficulty of competing for the top two in the group will be greatly increased.
Qatar is currently ranked fifth in the group. It started with a three-game losing streak, and then beat Syria 1-0 at home. It finally made some progress, but the situation is still very dangerous. If they want to compete for the top three in the group, they must win This game with the Chinese team, although it is very difficult.
Especially after Yang Yang returned from injury and officially returned to the team.
After two bad games with one draw and one loss, the Chinese team finally welcomed Yang Yang back.
In this game, Kunming Tuodong Stadium was full of people. The fans in the stands were full of expectation and enthusiasm. The roads around the stadium were blocked by enthusiastic fans early on. They all walked into the stadium with a fanatical passion.
From the beginning of the game, they shouted Yang Yang's name in unison, the sound was overwhelming and majestic.
Qatar took the lead, but failed to pose a threat.
Recently, Wang Dalei's state has been a little unstable, and Queiroz arranged for Yan Junling to start this game.
This goalkeeper is favored by many people and currently plays in the Eredivisie, but is expected to switch to the four major leagues.
The national football team has adopted high-position pressing tactics, and Queiroz is also eager to get a victory to alleviate the team's sluggishness in the past two games and boost the team's morale.
Yang Yang's return gave the international players confidence, and the team finally played with stability and patience again.
After the opening, the players relied on passing and running positions, and continued to play wonderful continuous cooperation on the court. In the eighth minute, there was even a continuous one-kick pass, which clearly showed the confidence and patience of the international footballers.
Whether it's the fans in the stands or the audience in front of the TV, they can easily see that the spirit of the international footballers has returned. They finally returned to the state of the iron army that won the away game against South Korea and defeated Iran at home!
"What is the soul of a team?"
"Maybe, in normal times, it is difficult for us to see it, but I believe that after the comparison of the last few games, whether it is the fans at the scene or the audience in front of the TV, they must be able to see it very clearly."
"Yang Yang is the soul of this team!"
"As long as he is here, everyone is at ease and full of confidence. He can bring stability and patience to the team when the team is impatient; when the team lacks confidence, he can bring confidence and confidence to the team. Calm; when we face a strong opponent, he can make us fearless!"
"He is the soul of our national team and our spiritual strength!"
...
In this game, Queiroz also made a very interesting change.
Central defender Mei Fang, who played for Belgium, replaced Zheng Zhi and partnered with Feng Xiaoting, while Zheng Zhi was pushed to the midfield.
As a result, a three midfield combination of Wu Xi, Zheng Zhi and Zhou Haibin appeared in the midfield, and the frontcourt trident was Yang Yang, Gao Lin and Wu Lei.
Four three three, this is an obvious offensive formation.
At the same time, the national team has also strengthened the transition between offense and defense. Once the ball is grabbed, the offense will go straight to high speed, and the frontcourt players will rush forward.
In the thirteenth minute, it was a steal from the backcourt. Wu Lei rushed in front and was violated by the opponent on the right side of the front of the penalty area. He got a direct free kick and sent the opponent a yellow card.
Yang Yang walked over quickly, pulled Wu Lei up, patted the little brother on the shoulder, and picked up the ball.
When Yang Yang walked over to place the football, Qatar goalkeeper Saad al-Sib yelled at his teammates very nervously, signaling that the wall should change its position. Yang Yang couldn't understand what he was shouting. .
But one thing he can be sure of is that the opponent's goalkeeper is very nervous.
No, it's very tense.
"I believe Thad Sible has also heard of Yang Yang's direct free kick. Although this time it is on the right side, Yang Yang's free kick with his left foot is not inferior to his right foot at all. Thad Sible still has to be careful." Some."
After the Qatar goalkeeper set up the human wall and defense, he stared at Yang Yang, slapped his hands hard on his chest, and yelled at Yang Yang, as if to cheer himself up.
Following the whistle of the referee, Yang Yang ran forward quickly. After standing still with his right foot, he swung his left foot quickly and kicked a very fast deciduous ball. There was an obvious downward trend, and finally crashed directly into the right side of the goal.
Thad Seeb was unable to get the ball despite flying sideways to the right.
"The ball has been scored!"
"Yang Yang's direct free kick!"
"A very nice kick from the leaves, and it came from his left foot."
"Even if I said it just now, Yang Yang's free kick with his left foot is not inferior to his right foot at all. Sade Sibb obviously knows this, but it's useless to know. The Chinese team will score this goal! "
...
Yang Yang's direct free kick ignited the atmosphere in Tuodong Stadium, and the scene became extremely hot.
The players of the Chinese team on the field were also deeply affected, and they all played more vigorously.
In the 34th minute, the Chinese team once again played a beautiful pass in the middle and front court, and made a continuous pass from the right, tearing open Qatar's defense line with great precision, and quickly moved to the middle of the penalty area.
Gao Lin stopped the ball to Yang Yang, and Yang Yang passed to the left side of the unguarded penalty area, but Jiang Zhipeng followed up and shot from a long distance. He failed to suppress the ball and turned into an anti-aircraft gun, missing an excellent opportunity.
After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, the Chinese team went on the offensive.
First, Wu Xi took advantage of a corner kick and hit the post with a header. Then Wu Lei and Gao Lin also got good opportunities to hit the goal, but unfortunately they couldn't grasp it.
In the 68th minute, the Chinese team quickly counterattacked after stealing the ball from the backcourt. After Zhou Haibin and Zheng Zhi cooperated, they quickly transferred the ball to Yang Yang on the left rib.
Yang Yang dribbled the ball all the way to the left side of the penalty area. When facing the opponent's defender, Yang Yang made a light feint. After shaking the opponent away, Yang Yang dribbled the ball horizontally and hit the goal with a right-footed arc, breaking Qatar's goal again. goal.
Two to zero!
After scoring two goals in a row, the atmosphere on the scene was pushed to the highest point, and the players on the field also played crazy.
In the 84th minute, Jiang Zhipeng and Yang Yang from the left teamed up and made a cross from the bottom. Neither Gao Lin nor Wu Lei got a position and were cleared out of the penalty area. A powerful long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area pierced Qatar's goal again, three to zero!
So far the game has been decided!
...
With a 3-0 victory over Qatar at home, the Chinese team won a crucial victory.
Yang Yang scored twice, once again made him a national hero, and was respected by the whole country after the game.
Everyone clearly realized that without Yang Yang, the Chinese team would have undergone radical changes.
More importantly, after winning Qatar, the Chinese team returned to the top of the top twelve.
Because of the other two games played at the same time as the Chinese team, the South Korean team defeated Uzbekistan 2-1 at home, and Iran drew 0-0 with Syria on a neutral ground.
In this way, the Chinese team has the same points as Iran, but relying on goal difference to overwhelm their opponents, they successfully reached the top.
Before the game, the whole country was worried, and after the game, the whole country was jubilant.
Yang Yang was warmly welcomed by many fans at the airport when he took the flight back to Beijing and was about to fly to Europe. It's a pity that he really didn't have time to stay in the country.
He must rush back to Madrid as soon as possible, because Real Madrid's next round opponent is Simeone's Atletico Madrid.
…………
…………
Although Atletico Madrid is as many as six points behind Real Madrid, the gap between the two sides has widened, but the situation is still not optimistic.
Although Real Madrid didn't have any major problems this season, they did lose a lot of points after Yang Yang was injured, while Barcelona kept chasing after them and didn't make mistakes easily. champion.
According to outside media, if he fails to win the championship this season, Luis Enrique will have to dismiss get out of class.
With Barcelona watching, Real Madrid must do their best to win against Atletico Madrid.
When Yang Yang flew back to Madrid from Beijing, Zidane and the Real Madrid coaching staff had been troubled by this problem for many days.
For the past two weeks, they have been studying Atletico Madrid and focusing on themselves.
There are many Real Madrid international players, especially many South American international players. All of them have traveled long distances to return to Guoqin Wang, and come back from thousands of miles. How much state can they play?
Who can get on? Who can't get on?
Only by clarifying these issues can Real Madrid be able to formulate proper tactical arrangements.
Yang Yang was almost the last player to return to the team. When he arrived in Valdebebas, the coaching staff had prepared a detailed player report, which listed various data of the players, including their physical fitness and their past two weeks. National team matches.
"We have to rotate. If we insist on all the main players, it may be difficult to guarantee the state, but if we are on the bench, how will we play?"
When Yang Yang was flipping through the report, Zidane almost frowned into Mount Everest.
Yang Yang did not answer directly, but read the entire report in detail from beginning to end. After learning about the situation of the team, he looked at Zidane, "Isco has never played a game, so he should be in good condition."
"Yes, but he has already been stared down by Simeone, and you have seen it. Let him play later. This trick is useless against Atletico Madrid."
Yang Yang stood up and nodded, "It's normal to use the same trick twice, but it will be greatly reduced."
"Then you mean..." Zidane knows Yang Yang too well.
Yang Yang smiled slightly, "If one Isco is restrained, then we will play two."
Two Isco?
What the hell?
