Chapter 194 Only Yang Yang
When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the fans of the Workers' Sports Group applauded the players on the field.
But not enthusiastically.
Before the end of the game, the Chinese team's defense once again made mistakes.
Sun Jihai, who came on as a substitute, drew a foul while defending and gave the opponent a free kick in the frontcourt.
After Bahrain took a free kick, it was cleared by the defender of the Chinese team, but was quickly sent into the penalty area by the Bahrain players on the outside.
At this time, there was a mistake in the Chinese team's defense. The two defenders failed to grab the ball. As a result, the ball was obtained by the opponent's No. 9 player and scored a direct volley, rewriting the score to 2-3.
The game was won, but the goal conceded at the end was choked up.
It should have been a wonderful reversal scene, especially the successive offensives in the second half, but unexpectedly collapsed at the last moment.
It's like eating a bowl of delicious braised noodles, eating with relish, but suddenly seeing a disgusting fly in the noodles, it's really hard to be happy.
Yang Yang's mood was the same when he walked off the court.
He didn't understand a little, it was obviously not an opportunity, but why it turned into an opportunity and conceded the goal.
In terms of results, there is not much difference between three-to-one and three-to-two. The Chinese team also scored three points, but in the process, it still makes people feel uncomfortable, especially for Yang Yang.
Whether it's cleanliness or perfectionism, he just doesn't like it.
And obviously, the fans in attendance didn't like it either.
But he doesn't get discouraged, that's not his style.
The ball has been lost, and the three-pointer is in anyway.
Yang Yang is now thinking about the next game, or even the next game.
He has shown his strength and state in the second half. He believes that Alihan should see his hunger for the game, victory and honor.
Can you start the next game?

"It's old."
Wei Zhen sat in the stands, shook his head and sighed.
As a choreographer and reporter for the national TV sports channel, how can he not understand the problems of the national team?
In the words of domestic fans, this is an amazing team, and he can always disappoint you in all kinds of bizarre ways when you have confidence in him.
But what can be done?
China has only one national team, a fact that no one can change.
Domestic fans scolded fiercely, but they hated iron and steel, and no matter how they scolded, they were still silently paying attention to Chinese football, and they all hoped that Chinese football would rise.
It's not scary to scold. What's scary is that they don't even want to scold.
"He behaved well, no one should scold him, right?" Su Ye on the side asked with concern.
He was referring to Yang Yang of course.
"Silly girl, Yang Yang directed two goals. If you are scolded, then the other players will not be drowned in saliva?" Su Wenhong laughed.
After a pause, as a senior fan, Su Wenhong saw some clues.
"It seems that Yang Yang understands Alihan's tactical intentions. After he played, he completely changed the situation. In the first half, the most threatening left wing of the Bahrain team was completely suppressed by him, and the whole second half was mediocre."
Wei Zhen nodded, "But he is only seventeen years old. Did Arihan use his courage?"
From Ajax to the Eredivisie to the Champions League, and then to the Toulon Cup, Yang Yang has proven his strength to everyone, and from his performance, the weakness that originally stopped the ball seems to be constantly improving. Very big.
His current overall strength is no problem even in the national team, playing the main force.
What's more, he is far better than other teammates to understand the coach's intentions, because Alihan himself was born in Ajax.
"He should be given more opportunities. If you see how diligent and hard-working he is, you will find that if a player like him can't play, then God is blind," Su Wenhong said.
Wei Zhen nodded.
Su Ye, who was sitting beside him, was thoughtful and silent.

"This is the game I want!"
After returning to the locker room, Alihan faced all the players and said aloud his evaluation of the second half.
And everyone understood what he meant.
The Chinese coaching staff member who reminded Yang Yang during the intermission looked at Yang Yang again, with a somewhat awkward expression on his face.
He used to be worried that Yang Yang was young and reserved and didn't dare to ask questions, but now, not only is he over-hearted, but he also underestimated Yang Yang's tactical literacy and understanding of head coach Alihan's tactical intentions.
Yang Yang used practical actions in the second half to teach everyone a vivid lesson, and let them understand that what Alihan usually emphasizes really works. The difference lies in who uses it and whether it can be used well.
As a senior domestic coach, this member of the Chinese coaching staff can be very sure that if other players can understand Alihan's tactical intentions like Yang Yang, and resolutely implement them, with the current level of players, the competitiveness of the Chinese team can at least be able to Taking it to the next level, it will not be a problem to confront Asian giants such as Japan, South Korea and Iran.
But Yang Yang has only one, and others may not be able to understand.
Of course, there are also several smarter players who have a deep understanding of football techniques and tactics, such as central defender Zheng Zhi.
"For the second game in four days, I hope the team can continue this way of playing in the second half, excluding the last goal, everyone is ready in advance."
After Arihan finished speaking, he turned his head, took a deep look at Yang Yang, and nodded encouragingly.
There is no doubt that everyone knows that these words almost mean that Yang Yang will start directly.
Alihan is going to gamble the fate of the Asian Cup on Yang Yang.
The reason is very simple, only Yang Yang is the one who can best understand and implement his tactical intentions.
It's just, can this seventeen-year-old boy shoulder such a heavy burden?
The internationals in the locker room have doubts.
…………

Four days later, still working.
In the second round of the Asian Cup, the Chinese team faced Indonesia.
When the game went to the 14th minute, the Chinese team played with the left.
Sun Xiang plugged in and passed the ball to Yan Song. The left midfielder played a two-to-one match with Shao Jiayi and suddenly passed the ball across to the front of the penalty area.
In the first game of this game, Yang Yang, who should have appeared on the right, suddenly appeared in the top area of the arc. Facing Yan Song's cross, Yang Yang pulled the ball with his right foot and took advantage of the situation to pull the ball past the Indonesian midfielder. The defensive player pulled out an empty space, and then shot directly with his right foot.
The ball went straight to the goal with great speed.
Faced with this sudden shot, the Indonesian goalkeeper could not react in time, and could only watch the ball rubbed against the right post and crashed into the goal!
At the moment of scoring, Yang Yang was so excited that he rushed out of the court and slid to his knees under the stand where Wei Zhen and Su Ye were.
Although he didn't know where his friend was sitting.
One to zero!
Yang Yang scored the first goal of the national team!
"My God, Yang Yang will definitely be the biggest discovery of the Chinese team in this Asian Cup!"
"In the last game, he set the record for the youngest player in the history of the Chinese team, and tonight, in Gongti, he set the record for the youngest scorer in the history of the Chinese team!"
"This is a very wonderful long-range shot. Yan Song crossed from the left, Yang Yang took advantage of the situation, pulled the defender, and also pulled out the space, and then he raised his foot and hit without thinking."
"His state is very good. From the beginning of this game, he showed a very good competitive state and a strong desire to win, and his efforts have paid off quickly."
Yang Yang's name was chanted throughout the stadium.
After his outstanding performance in the last game, Yang Yang was heavily guarded by Indonesia, but he still ran out of space quickly and seized the opportunity to open the scoring for the Chinese team.
No one thought of this, including Yang Yang himself.
But one thing he can be sure of is that he is in very good shape.
He has been hungry for the game since before he joined the national team training camp, and now, he finally got the chance to play.
The teammates of the national team also gradually accepted this young teammate, and they all gradually realized that Yang Yang would become a sharp knife in the Chinese team's offense.
…………
…………
After conceding the goal, Indonesia played a little impatient, while the Chinese team played more patiently.
Yang Yang is still very active on the right, but Indonesia has also strengthened the defense on his side.
But the defense on the right has been strengthened, and the left has been exposed.
Soon, in the 30th minute, the Chinese team had another victory. Shao Jiayi made a cross from the left, and Hao Dongchong scored the goal, 2-0.
Then there was the attack from the left. Sun Xiang quickly inserted a long shot to win the corner kick for the Chinese team. Shao Jiayi took the corner kick and assisted Li Weifeng to score a header.
In the first half, the Chinese team had a three-to-zero lead.
At half-time, Alihan smiled wide-eyed and praised the internationals without hesitation, especially on the two sides of the team, Yang Yang opened the scoring on the right, and after Indonesia strengthened its defense on the right. , the left is frequently creating murderous intentions.
Alihan also continued to encourage the players, hoping that they would continue to work hard and maintain the momentum in the first half.
Sure enough, after changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Yang Yang made another threat in the 50th minute. After getting a pass from Shao Jiayi on the right, he formed a one-on-one and once again used the pendulum to break through the Indonesian left back. The low ball is passed to the front point.
Shao Jia, who was inserted in the back row, made a push shot from the front and rewritten the score to 4-0!
Big win!
This is a complete victory!
No one expected that after the excellent performance in the first round, the Chinese team once again played an offensive frenzy in the second game.
In particular, Yang Yang, who came from the right, was extremely active. With one pass and one shot, he became a major contributor to the national team's two-game winning streak.
Counting the two assists in his first game, Yang Yang contributed one shot and three assists in just two games, and directed four goals, and the national football team has only scored in two games so far. seven balls.
Although the data cannot represent everything, there is no doubt that Yang Yang has become the number one hero of the national team's two-game winning streak!
Alihan was worried that Yang Yang had finished playing prematurely, and immediately replaced him with veteran Li Ming after scoring the fourth goal.
Then, the Chinese team launched an offensive from the left, and Yan Song assisted Li Yi to score.
In the end, the Chinese team beat Indonesia 5-0.
