Chapter 258 The Devil's Home

"I just got the news that Yang Yang has arrived in Tehran."

In the hotel where the Iranian national team stayed, coach Ivankovic soon received intelligence from his opponent.

He has always specially arranged for people to watch the movements of the Chinese team, in order to grasp every move of the opponent.

Among them, the focus of his attention is the eighteen-year-old Yang Yang.

A Chinese genius who won the Asian Cup champion and the best player title at the age of seventeen, has made a big splash in the Eredivisie this season, scoring 16 goals and 10 assists in 20 rounds, such an amazing result. Single, it is really something that people have to pay attention to.

Champion of the Champions League, the golden boy of Europe, the halo above Yang Yang's head is really dazzling.

Ivankovic would even wish he didn't come if he could.

But it is a pity that such a player is not a weak Chinese team. Even if we look at the world, I am afraid that only a top team like Brazil will ignore it.

"When did you arrive?" Ivankovich asked concerned.

"At noon today, and participated in the afternoon training session."

"He just participated in the Eredivisie game, against Feyenoord, with two goals, an assist, and was elected as the best player of the game. The limelight even overshadowed the Eredivisie striker Kuyt."

Listening to the assistant's report, Ivankovic's face became even more solemn.

There is no doubt about Yang Yang's strength. He will definitely be the most threatening player in the Chinese team, and he will definitely be the player that Iran needs to pay attention to and mark the most. This has been proved as early as in the Asian Cup semi-finals.

But today's Iran is no longer the Iran of six months ago.

After returning from the fiasco in the Asian Cup, Ivankovic and the Iranian Football Association also had a hard time, and both sides were determined to make adjustments.

One of the most crucial points is the re-recruitment of midfielder Candy for Kaiserslautern.

Ferri Chandi, 25 years old, currently plays for Kaiserslautern in the Bundesliga. He wears the No. 10 jersey. From the jersey number, you can see his status in this team. He has performed very well in the Bundesliga this season. outstanding.

Before, there was a personal grievance between Chandi and the chairman of the Iranian Football Association, so he never wanted to play for the Iranian national team. Accept the call-up again.

The return of Chandi will undoubtedly make Iran even more powerful.

Karimi, Aridei, Madavikia, Hashmian, plus a Chandi, the overall lineup of the Iranian team can be described as tyrannical, the overall strength of the Chinese team is not an exaggeration.

But Yang Yang is like a razor-sharp dagger, always aimed at the heart of Iran, so that Ivankovic would not dare to be careless no matter what.

"The government has ordered that this game will be free for the public, and everyone can enter the Azadi Stadium to watch the game. It is estimated that the number of people is likely to exceed 100,000. At that time, the entire stadium will cause great psychological pressure on the opponents." The assistant coach analyzed.

Ivankovic nodded.

Those who have not experienced the Azadi Stadium in person will never understand how terrifying the home court of the No. 1 Devil in Asia is.

Iran's staggering winning percentage at this stadium is definitely more than just bluffing.

"Other players in the Chinese team may be intimidated by the home field advantage, but Yang Yang should not." Ivankovic said.

"why?"

"You think, a player who can score a goal in the Champions League final at the age of 17, and can support the Ajax flag in the Eredivisie at the age of 18, can he be intimidated by our home game?"

The assistant coach also thinks it makes sense, "But at least it should have a little impact, right?"

"It's hard to say, but we have to plan for the worst, so in this game, we must stare at him."

Game day, morning.

When the internationals woke up, after washing, they were ready to go to breakfast, and they hadn't seen Yang Yang go out.

"Where's Yang Yang?"

"Have you not woken up yet?"

"It is estimated that he is also a little tired. He has traveled a long way. Let him sleep for a while and be refreshed at night."

Just as he was talking, they saw Zheng Zhi open the door and came out, and everyone immediately asked Yang Yang with concern.

"He? He got up early. I accompanied him to run around the hotel for a few kilometers. After returning, he plunged into the hotel's gym." Zheng Zhi said with a wry smile.

"What? There's a game tonight, and he's going to run again and go to the gym again?" All the international players were full of surprise.

After doing this, how can I still have the energy to devote myself to the game tonight?

"I asked him the same, but he said that the amount of training today is much less than usual, and he just needs to recover and adjust properly. As long as it is properly controlled, it will not affect the game tonight, but it will help to activate his state. And keep swimming."

All the national footballers are stunned, is this okay?

However, during the Asian Cup, they were also used to Yang Yang's own way of training.

In fact, during the entire Asian Cup, Yang Yang not only maintained a good state, but also maintained a high level of performance, which makes people have to admire.

Zheng Zhi was also infected by Yang Yang. He only got up with him in the morning for a penalty kick run, but he still lost.

He also began to realize that after Yang Yang passed a series of scientific training, his physical fitness has begun to surpass everyone in the current national team. Not only is his physical fitness outstanding, but his physical confrontation has also improved significantly.

Don't look at his thin body, giving people a feeling of lack of power, but it's actually not easy to push him away.

Out of curiosity, the internationals all came to the hotel's gym.

Through the transparent curtain wall glass, they saw Yang Yang, who was already sweating profusely, riding a bicycle in the gym.

Wearing a pair of sports shorts and topless, he looks no longer as thin as he was during the Asian Cup, and the muscle groups in various parts are quite obvious, which is obviously the result of his hard training in the past period of time.

Those who could be picked by Alihan and selected into the national team are all outstanding domestic players, but at this moment, they can't help feeling ashamed when they see Yang Yang training so hard in the gym.

Measured by the standards of domestic players, Yang Yang is already the number one star in China, but he is still so hardworking and diligent, how can this group of people not feel ashamed?

"He is now trying to do Iran with a lot of energy. After returning to the Netherlands, he will compete with Kuyt for the top scorer and help Ajax win the Eredivisie championship, which makes him full of motivation." Zheng Said with admiration.

He is a few years older than Yang Yang, but in football, he is ashamed.

But he will try to learn from Yang Yang.

He also has his own ideals and goals.

…………

…………

When the Chinese team walked into the Azadi Stadium, the whole stadium burst into crazy boos.

It came overwhelmingly, as if the sky had fallen.

This surprised the internationals who had just walked out of the player tunnel.

Yang Yang looked up and secretly cried out in his heart, darling.

This is a comprehensive stadium. The stadium is in the middle, and there is a wide track and field track between the stands and the stands. This was originally not conducive to fans making noise, but it could not stand the crowd.

At this moment, the stands are crowded with people. Even the walls of the top stands are full of fans. The crowded scene is like a stabbed ant's nest. Goosebumps.

If it's just a lot of people, that's all.

The worst thing is that this group of fans is also very organized.

Drums sounded densely at the scene, and every two drums, the fans at the scene let out a shout in unison.

The shouts of more than 100,000 fans in unison almost seemed to collapse the entire stadium, more like the shouts from the abyss of hell, which made people feel creepy.

Two drums, one shout.

This is how Iranian fans support their team.

When the Chinese team players stepped into the stadium, they were indeed taken aback by the sudden battle.

So terrifying!

This is Asia's first devil home!

"Honey, isn't this a bit too big?"

"That's right, originally I didn't feel much about 100,000 fans, but now..."

Yang Yang was really startled at the beginning, but it was just a sudden shock, which was quickly calmed down, replaced by a fighting spirit that was gearing up.

I don’t know if it was influenced by Ibrahimovic, but now he really has a very strong idea, that is, under the eyes of these more than 100,000 pairs of fans, breaking their goal will definitely be unforgettable for a lifetime. A treat.

…………

…………

Alihan is obviously afraid of the Iranian Devil's home court.

As early as before the game, he has repeatedly emphasized that the team should pay attention to defense, and this game he will also form a four-to-five formation, Yang Yang will be the team's single striker, and the midfield will be in a five-man defensive formation.

This is not to show weakness, but a very wise choice.

Head-to-head with Iran at the Azadi Stadium is definitely courting death.

Especially considering that the overall strength of the Chinese team is weaker than that of Iran, the return of Candi has exacerbated the gap in strength.

When the players finished their pre-match training and returned to the locker room, Alihan also repeatedly emphasized that the team should do a good job of defense.

"It's their home ground and for them it's an absolute advantage, but it's also a pressure, they haven't lost here, so they're going to want to win, they're going to want to eat from the start. us."

"At this time, what we should do is to do our best to defend, wait patiently for the opportunity to counterattack, and when the opportunity arises, grab him!"

"The return of Chandi has indeed strengthened Iran's strength, but this is only the strength on paper, and it may not be reflected in the game, because he has been away from the national team for a long time and may not be able to cooperate with his teammates tacitly."

"So, I believe that as long as we can stand the loneliness and keep the goal, we will definitely have a chance!"

In this game, Alihan had three defensive midfielders, and Shao Jiayi was switched to the left flank.

And it turns out that the Iranian team really launched a sharp attack from the very beginning.

The Iranian players headed by Karimi, Chandi and Ali Dei attacked aggressively at the beginning of the game, repeatedly creating dangerous situations in front of the Chinese team.

The Chinese team was forced to retreat to their own half, and the back line led by Zheng Zhi and Li Weifeng was forced into the penalty area.

In front of the door there was a turmoil, and the goal was in jeopardy.

Guys, I'm ready! what about you? Let's fight side by side and launch the final sprint!
