Chapter 273 The Big Battle

After playing PSV Eindhoven, ushered in two weeks of national team competition.

Yang Yang received the call-up and returned to China to prepare for the quarter-finals. He will play two consecutive games, one against Japan at home and one against North Korea away. Both games will determine the national team's ranking in the quarter-finals.

If they can win, then the hope of directly advancing to the quarter-finals is great.

Before, Alihan ended his vacation and came to see Yang Yang in De Tokmost before returning to China, and talked a lot about his plans for the national team in the next period of time, for example, he would recruit more young players.

One of the most mentioned points is that he is not very satisfied with the high center Han Peng.

He has been working hard to find a center partner for Yang Yang in the Chinese Super League, but now, he has not gained much.

There is a center forward to clear the way for Yang Yang, to withstand the defensive pressure, which is more conducive to Yang Yang's attacking power.

Since the end of February, Yang Yang has always felt that his state has always remained at a relatively stable and relatively high stage, and coaches from professional players such as Ronald Koeman and Luther Carroll have also They are teaching Yang Yang some ways to maintain his state.

After getting on the flight from Amsterdam to Beijing, Yang Yang also closed his eyes to sleep and plunged into the super training ground.

"Kuyt has not scored in three consecutive rounds."

Yang Yang couldn't help but have the urge to snicker.

He has now scored 21 goals, Kuyt has 22 goals, the gap between the two sides is only one goal.

But it's strange. Kuyt really belongs to the kind of player who bursts out when he is out of state, but comes and goes quickly. He scored six goals in three consecutive rounds before, but now he is in a row again. Three goals did not score, it is really incomprehensible.

According to previous media analysis, this is the third time this season that Kuyt has had consecutive rounds of goal drought.

Earlier, in September and December, it lasted three or four rounds, or even five rounds. I don't know how long this time will be.

"It's normal, it's like a person likes to eat a certain kind of food, but if one day, he eats a lot in one go, he will have a feeling of boredom, it will take some time to adjust and recover, scoring goals is also That's it." Lao Bing explained lightly.

Yang Yang nodded, he also had a deep understanding of this.

When they were in their hometown before, their family of three liked to eat ginger duck and often went there.

Originally, a family of three ate a ginger duck, and it was a bit unfinished, but once they called for one more, and although they also finished eating, in the next two or three months, they did not have the appetite to taste this delicacy.

That's what Lao Bing said.

Professional players score goals, just like when they go to eat ginger duck, they can't eat too much.

"Lao Bing, if you say that, can't you score too many goals at one time?" Yang Yang was very strange.

"No, it depends on the situation."

"I don't understand." Yang Yang shook his head.

"To put it simply, players are eager to score goals. This is a desire. The stronger it is, the more motivation to score goals. It's like a person is hungry, and ordinary meals are delicious."

"For some people, scoring too many goals at one time does give him a sense of satisfaction and then relaxes, which is human nature, but some people will always keep a hunger, keep a Motivation, constantly looking for breakthroughs, this kind of person will not be satisfied no matter how many goals he scores.”

Yang Yang understood what Lao Bing meant, "Then what do you think I belong to?"

"I don't know." Lao Bing replied lightly.

"do not know?"

"You've never been through a test like this, nobody knows what you're going to do, it's like you've been chasing Kuyt all this season, you have a clear purpose and direction, so you feel motivated, It's strange why Kuyt is often in a scoring drought."

"But maybe, when you have a chance to lead the scorer list in the future, you will find out that you are the same as Kuyt, of course, maybe it will be different from him, but before you lead the scorer list, who knows Woolen cloth?"

Yang Yang nodded silently.

It's like what people often say, what if I have a million, what if I'm a big star, but in fact, it's because he doesn't have a million, and he's not a big star.

Yang Yang feels this way to some extent now.

Before the team's leading star, he hoped to be like Van der Vaart and Zlatan Ibrahimovic as the team's number one star, but after the winter break training, he really became the team's top star. The number one star, he began to feel the pressure of a mountain.

Ajax drew Eindhoven in this round, and as a result Alkmaar got a big bargain.

Van Gaal's old guy defeated Waiters 3-0 in this game and reversed to the top with a one-point advantage.

Ajax has fallen back to the third place in the league, and Yang Yang is also under pressure.

He made a pass and shot, and was greatly appreciated by the media and fans after the game. Everyone attacked the team's back line, thinking that it was too weak, and the two leads were equalized twice.

But Yang Yang, as a star, still felt the pressure, and he felt that he should score more goals.

That pressure will get bigger and stronger as the season comes to an end.

Yang Yang still remembered that at this time last season, Van der Vaart quarreled with his girlfriend because he couldn't bear the pressure, and finally met him on the shore of Lake Odekerke.

Of course, he believes that he is not as vulnerable as Vandervaart.

Stress is like a heavy shackle to him, it does cause him trouble, but it also trains him to become stronger.

Winston Bogard is already preparing sandbags for Yang Yang, and plans to let Yang Yang wear sandbags for training this summer.

Shackles or sandbags are both a test and a grind.

…………

When Yang Yang appeared at the Capital Airport, he was immediately surrounded by fans who were already waiting at the scene.

A large number of enthusiastic fans shouted Yang Yang's name loudly and surrounded the exit. The media reporters behind them were all long guns and short guns, all aimed at Yang Yang and took a shot at no cost.

That battle not only made Yang Yang stunned, but even the surrounding passengers were shocked.

Even the biggest stars at home and abroad don't have this kind of treatment!

Many people are even wondering, who has such an influence?

And when more and more people knew that Yang Yang was returning to China, all the tourists who had time surrounded him, and the scene became a mess.

A reporter from a well-known domestic website has already posted this scene on the Internet, causing bursts of exclamations from netizens.

No one thought that Yang Yang could make domestic fans burst out with such amazing enthusiasm.

Yang Yang was carrying a duffel bag and faced the enthusiastic fans at a loss. He kept comforting him and hoped that everyone would not be chaotic, but people were so talkative and the crowd was turbulent, Yang Yang really couldn't do anything about it.

In the end, the ground staff and security personnel at the airport quickly intervened, separated Yang Yang from the enthusiastic fans, opened a passage for Yang Yang, escorted him out of the airport, got into the car arranged by the national team to pick him up, and left directly. to the airport.

Even after Yang Yang left in the car, he could still see many fans and media reporters chasing after him.

"Is this battle too big?" Yang Yang smiled bitterly.

"No, no, it's not big at all." The driver of the national team laughed while driving in front, "Don't you know that although the Eredivisie League is not broadcast live in China, the fans have always been following your news, you Every goal he scored has caused a huge reaction among the fans in the country."

Yang Yang was a little surprised. Although he browsed the domestic network, he mostly chatted with Su Ye, Shen Yuzhu, Wei Zhen and others, or paid attention to domestic news, etc. He really didn't know the response from domestic fans would be so great.

"You scored 21 goals in the Eredivisie, the domestic fans are expecting you to score more goals, it's better to break Ronaldo's record."

When he said this, the driver also looked proud, as if Yang Yang broke the record, and he followed suit.

"How can it be so easy." Yang Yang smiled modestly.

Of course he also thought, and even he would work hard for it, but he would not take the initiative to speak or shout slogans.

That's not his character.

…………

…………

This time the national team training camp was at the Xianghe base, but the first game against Japan was arranged in Tianjin.

Tianjin is close to Japan, and the advantage is not obvious enough as a home game, but it is beneficial to play North Korea directly on the road.

North Korea is similar to Japan. If it is to play its home field advantage against Japan, the subsequent away games will also be more troublesome.

What's more, North Korea is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

All the teams that can enter the quarter-finals, there is no underdog.

As early as when he was in Amsterdam, Arihan told Yang Yang that many domestic media accused and criticized him of being conservative. He himself admitted that he may have been born as a midfielder and was somewhat cautious, but he also had his own concerns.

That is, the technical and tactical level of Chinese players is not high, the overall strength has no advantage, and the teamwork is not good enough. If they are not conservative and cautious, they may fall off the chain at any time.

"I also want to let go of my hands and feet, but I can't. The mental quality of the players is weak, and they can't bear it at the critical moment. Don't be conservative and be cautious. Who knows when we will suddenly make mistakes. Cause the team to lose?"

Yang Yang talked about this with Zheng Zhi, Zhao Junzhe and others, and they all agreed that Alihan's caution was not unreasonable.

After all, Chinese football has never shown convincing strength to prove that it is a strong team in Asia.

Since it is not a strong team in Asia, it can only be down-to-earth and put itself in the position of a weak team.

And can enter the quarter-finals, which team can the Chinese team say they will win?

Not to mention Japan and Iran, and North Korea is not a soft persimmon to be kneaded.

The media and fans do not understand the real situation, their thoughts and comments are understandable, but the national team must remain sober enough, self-discipline, and play every game in the quarter-finals as a final, only then can we win .

Yang Yang's return to the team immediately became a great event for Xianghe Base.

The team leader and coaching staff also welcomed Yang Yang's return to the team and asked him about his state and performance during this period of time, hoping that he can continue to work hard.

This time, Alihan also recruited more young players, including Yang Yang's teammates in the National Youth Team.

Chen Tao came to the door immediately after Yang Yang returned to the team for help.
