Chapter 191 I Can't Wait! [2300 Monthly Pass Plus Update, Please Subscribe to Monthly Pass]
The first training of the national team in Chongqing directly involved a lot, which caused many international players who had just returned from the league to feel miserable.
But everyone also knows that this is to adjust the state and cope with the next Asian Cup.
Yang Yang, who was originally worried by many people, did not get tired during the high-intensity training of the national team, because the training intensity is not as strong as that of the first team in Ajax, and he has already adapted to it. .
Seeing Yang Yang's ease and ease in coping with training, many international footballers couldn't help but admire him with admiration.
How can it be a false name to represent Ajax in the Champions League final and score the lore goal?
In the national team's first warm-up match, they beat Lebanon 6-0, but Yang Yang didn't show any performance. He came on as a substitute after the 75th minute of the second half, when the score was already 5-0.
Alihan's purpose for arranging Yang Yang to play at this time is very simple. He hopes that he can get acquainted with his teammates, find out the rhythm of the game, and also use Yang Yang to run in the four-three-three formation he imagined.
The day after Lebanon, the national team took a flight back to Beijing and went directly to the Xianghe base for training.
At noon on July 9, the team flew to Hohhot to prepare for the warm-up match against the United Arab Emirates the next day.
This time Yang Yang did not start.
The starting lineup of the national team was still 442, and almost all the main players started. As a result, the first half played very badly. The two sides played 0-0. At halftime, the Chinese team changed three people in a row. As a result, the team was unstable, and the back line made a mistake in assisting defense, and the opponent seized the opportunity to score a goal.
Then the national football team began to counterattack, but still failed to score a goal. Instead, the opponent seized the opportunity again in the 60th minute and further expanded the score to 2-0.
Just when the morale of the UAE was high, the national team finally pulled back a game.
Just three minutes before the UAE's second goal, Zheng Zhi took advantage of a free kick in the frontcourt and scored directly to make the score 1-2.
At the 70th minute, Alihan made another substitution. Yang Yang, Sun Jihai and Zhou Ting were replaced. The team's tactical play changed again to four-three-three. Yang Yang and Zheng Bin served as the two wings, and Li Yi played single. forward.
The three midfielders are Zhao Junzhe, Zhou Haibin and Sun Jihai.
The right defender behind Yang Yang is Wei Xin. The defense is quite stable, but the offensive end does not contribute much.
Alihan's instruction to Yang Yang was to do his best to attack the opponent's left lane.
Yang Yang, who had been holding back for a long time, and his desire for the game more and more intense, did not live up to the high expectations of the head coach. As soon as he played, he used a very sharp right-sided ball to pass, directly passing the UAE's left back and winning the fans. unanimous applause.
Later, Yang Yang became more and more active on the right, but whenever the pass from the midfield could reach his feet, he could create a threat, frequently with sharp speed and excellent breakthrough ability, disturbing the UAE's defense. It was a mess, and in the 83rd minute, a cross from the right crossed the penalty area, and Li Yi scored a hit in front of the goal to level the score.
Yang Yang's excellent performance quickly attracted the attention of the UAE's defense, but even so, Yang Yang still took advantage of an opportunity to break through from the right in the 88th minute and rushed to the bottom line, although he failed to get the support of his teammates. , but still earned a corner.
Afterwards, this corner kick allowed Sun Jihai to be pulled down by the opponent in the penalty area. The referee did not hesitate to award a penalty kick. Zheng Zhi made the penalty kick and expanded the score to three to two.
Two goals behind and a tenacious reversal, the performance of the national football team in the second warm-up match was not satisfactory.
Especially on the defensive end of the team, it is very worrying.
On the contrary, the performance of the teenager Yang Yang after coming off the bench won the unanimous approval of domestic media reporters and fans.
…………

On the day after the national football team returned to Beijing from Hohhot, the Xianghe base was rarely opened to the public, welcoming a large number of media reporters and fans, as well as the national team sponsor Adidas.
Every season and before each competition, sponsors create a new set of outfits for their teams, and Adidas, the national team sponsor, is no exception.
The Asian Cup jersey they created for the national football team this time is only a small change. Compared with the previous jersey, the curve on the chest has changed slightly. It looks like two machetes connected together, and it is similar to the jersey. The color is the same, all white, if you don't look carefully, it's really hard to find.
But what is really interesting is that just a few days ago in Portugal, Greece staged a dark horse miracle in the European Cup wearing the same jersey. Rehhagel's team made it all the way to the final and was scored by center Charlesteas. A winning goal, a black in the end.
It is worth mentioning that after his outstanding performance in the European Cup, Charlie Steas was quickly valued by Ajax and announced after the European Cup final that he officially introduced the European Cup winner from Werder Bremen. hero.
This is a blockbuster signing to fill in after Ibrahimovic left the team.
At this time, Adidas chose the same shirt from Greece to the Chinese team, which is undoubtedly a very good meaning. I hope that the Chinese team can be like Greece and win the Asian Cup successfully.
If this is the case, then Adidas is making a lot of money.
In addition to inviting national football players to show the new national team jersey, the president of Adidas China also brought a special mission from Adidas headquarters to send Yang Yang specially tailored boots.
"We are very honored that Yang Yang has been wearing our Adidas boots for the past year, playing for the Chinese national team and Ajax."
"And this time, in order to better show Yang Yang's characteristics and give full play to his advantages in speed and personal breakthroughs, we specially tailored a Chinese red F50 boots for him."
With the solemn announcement of the president of Adidas China, everyone could not help but turn their attention to Yang Yang.
Yang Yang has also been wearing this pair of boots that are completely tailored for him according to his foot size, stood on the stage, and performed a few fancy ball movements on the spot, which is a demonstration of the role of the boots.
But many media reporters and international players present were surprised, even the football association and the national team were surprised, because they didn't know about it before.
It even seems that the most important thing for Adidas this trip is not to send new shirts for the national team, but to show Yang Yang the boots, and this is the first Chinese football player who can get Adidas to sponsor the boots, or this year. The new generation of boots F50 just released on the eve of the summer European Cup.
These are the boots for top stars in the European Cup, which shows how much adidas attaches importance to Yang Yang.
Yang Yang was not surprised at all, because Raiola had already told him about it.
The sponsorship negotiations between Ajax and Adidas went well, but due to the operation of Raiola, Yang Yang's personal sponsorship was negotiated separately. For the time being, Adidas is a step closer than Nike, but the two sides are on the specific price. Did not discuss.
Adidas hopes to sign Yang Yang at a price of 300,000 euros per year. Considering Yang Yang's age, there is a certain increase clause in the contract, which can be up to 500,000 euros.
The sponsorship of 500,000 euros of football boots is definitely a heavyweight in Chinese football.
More importantly, Yang Yang is only seventeen years old this year and has a bright future.
But Raiola has yet to make a final nod, and talks are still going on.
In a subsequent interview with the media, Yang Yang said that he did not participate in the contract renewal negotiations. He has been working hard to train and improve himself after returning to China, and everything is handled by the agent and the club.
"I am very happy to receive Adidas boots, at least, it represents the official recognition of Adidas for me."
After he joined the team, the two warm-up games were all substitutes, Yang Yang said it was normal.
"The coach has talked to me about this. After all, I am new here. He thinks that I should get acquainted with the team as soon as possible. I agree with him. Although I am a substitute, I believe that I can contribute to the national team. ."
For the Asian Cup, Yang Yang confidently said that he is ready.
"I'm hungry for games. I also mentioned this to the coach. I haven't participated in official games for a while. The arrival of the Asian Cup has made my blood boil, and I can't wait."
"Before the game is not played, I can't say what it will be, I can only say, go all out and do my best, I will do my best to help the team and keep the Asian Cup in China!"
As for Yang Yang's remarks, the national team coach Alihan also said that he is very clear.
"He's in very good shape. He's eager to play. I know it very well, but I still need to think about it. He's only seventeen years old, and his physical fitness is still lacking compared to adults, so we need to think carefully."
"But I believe he is ready."
Yang Yang, as the only player among the 25 international players who has accepted the sponsorship of Adidas, makes the international players in the team very envious, even some international players who have been famous for many years. , obviously very jealous.
But unfortunately, it was tailor-made for him after Adidas got Yang Yang's foot size from Ajax. Others couldn't wear it at all and could only envy it.
The Football Association is very helpless about Adidas sponsoring Yang Yang, because Yang Yang is not a registered player of the Football Association. In theory, the Football Association has no jurisdiction over him at all.
Of course, they can choose not to call Yang Yang, but as Yang Yang's popularity among domestic fans is getting higher and higher, and his performance in European competitions is getting better and better, the Football Association really has no way not to call him, unless they want to make public anger.
As for getting involved in Yang Yang's business operations, don't even think about it.
On the contrary, Yang Yang thought the simplest, whether sponsorship or the main position was not important to him.
The most important thing is that he must improve himself as soon as possible and seize every opportunity that arises.
From the Almere youth team, to the Ajax second team to the first team, he has always been like this, because he always believes in a word.
Opportunity awaits those who are prepared.
