Chapter 915

After playing Atletico Madrid, the Europa League was suspended, ushering in two weeks of national team game days.

The European team was playing in the European Cup qualifiers, and Yang Yang was also transferred back to China to participate in the national team training camp.

The first test that the new head coach of the national team, Queiroz, encountered was the Qatar Asian Cup in January, but at that time, many of the national team's main players, including Yang Yang, Chen Tao and Feng Xiaoting, were not recruited, and they stayed in Europe wholeheartedly. To play football, the national team only recruited young international players such as Wu Lei, Zhang Linpeng, Zhang Chengdong, Zhang Xizhe, and Hao Junmin.

The leaders of the Football Association did not put forward performance requirements for the Asian Cup. Queiroz focused on training, and vigorously recruited young players and well-known domestic rookies. As a result, players such as Zhang Linpeng, Hao Junmin and Yu Hai performed quite well.

The national team stopped in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, lost to Australia, and finally Japan beat Australia to win the championship.

The domestic media and public opinion did not criticize the national team too much. On the contrary, they gave great affirmation to the strength and spiritual outlook of many young players studying abroad, including Wu Lei.

These teenagers have strength and momentum, and the most important thing is that people see hope.

Take Wu Lei, for example, at the age of 19, he has already established himself as the main force in the first team of Ajax, and has performed quite well. Now he is a little-known hopeful star in European football, and many teams even give him the title With the title of [Yang Yang II], he is full of expectations for him, and he himself has performed very hard.

Joining Ajax at the age of fifteen, Wu Lei has made tremendous progress and improvement in the past four years, and in this Asian Cup, he is also the team's best player, so many people feel that , he will become Yang Yang's best partner.

However, in the training camp in late March, Queiroz called up Yang Yang for the first time after coaching, and had an in-depth conversation with him. From the mouth of the Portuguese coach, Yang Yang clearly knew that he did not intend to change the current Chinese team. frontcourt trident.

That is, the combination of Yang Yang, Gao Lin and Chen Tao. He believes that these three players are the best attacking lineup for the Chinese team at present.

Needless to say, Yang Yang, the number one player in world football, Chen Tao also performed very well in Dortmund and was reused by Klopp, while Gaolin's tactics played a huge role, and he has also attracted the attention of many four major league teams. .

The three players have complementary characteristics, cooperate with each other and tacit understanding, and Queiroz has no reason to disrupt such a configuration.

This is also the reason why he never called Yang Yang and others into the team in the previous stage of inspecting the players, but now he is starting to adjust the formation for the World Cup qualifiers in July, and he will recruit Yang Yang and others into the team to practice. tactics.

Queiroz's coaching is characterized by resolutely playing on both wings, focusing on rapid impact, and fast attack and defense rhythm.

At the beginning, when Yang Yang played for Liverpool, he did not hear much about Queiroz.

Of course, the more famous one is that Beckham once thanked Queiroz for his contribution to the team's defense, and after the failure of coaching Real Madrid, Queiroz came to Manchester United's second palace and brought the tactical innovation to the team. , At that time, Ferguson almost handed over the tactical power to Queiroz.

To a certain extent, Manchester United's brilliance around 2008, of course, Ferguson is the dominant player, but Queiroz contributed.

In particular, the solid defense he built in Manchester United made Manchester United almost the strongest defensive team in Europe in those years, and the central defender combination of Vidic and Ferdinand also ranked first in the world.

And you know, Manchester United's midfield was quite weak.

In addition to defense, Queiroz helped Ferguson absorb a lot of valuable things from the mainstream European teams at that time, such as the front three forwards pulling and moving, which is completely different from Manchester United's previous use of centers such as Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Based on a solid defense, patiently looking for opportunities, attacking suddenly, focusing on small-scale cooperation on the wing, playing a whirlwind with fast speed, and relying on the pulling movement of the frontcourt trident to impact and destroy the opponent's defense.

Of course, this does not mean that Queiroz despises technology. On the contrary, he was born in the Iberian Peninsula of the European Latin school, and was the godfather of the youth training of Portugal's golden generation such as Figo. Queiroz also attaches great importance to technology, but from Manchester United, Real Madrid Judging from the coaching experience of the Portuguese national team, he is not obsessed with technology, but believes in simplicity and practicality.

Compared with the individual performance of the players, Queiroz pays more attention to the team’s overall cooperation and teamwork, loyalty, respect and attitude. This is Queiroz’s telling Yang Yang that his three selection principles also basically reflect his tactical style.

Queiroz also said that because Yang Yang is in a hot state, he hopes that Yang Yang can take on the task of attacking the city. Gao Lin, Chen Tao and other offensive players will create space for Yang Yang through constant running and involvement.

Yang Yang thanked Queiroz for his trust, and at the same time put forward some suggestions on the team's tactical play, all of which are his personal experience and experience, and he also hopes that Queiroz can actively help the internationals go abroad.

"Over the years, the experience of playing football in Europe has made me more convinced that only by going to a higher level can we continue to grow and improve, and I believe that there are still many players in this Chinese team who are capable of playing in European football. The strength to gain a firm foothold in the altar is a huge benefit for both the individual and the national team."

Queiroz took it seriously, and directly pointed out the names of Cui Peng and Wang Yongpo.

Cui Peng was Yang Yang's teammate in the National Youth Team in 2005, and he was also an important member of the National Youth Team. Unfortunately, after the World Youth Championship, he was not able to keep up with the tide of studying abroad. In the past few years, I also went to Europe for trial training intermittently, but for various reasons, it was not possible.

During the winter break this year, Cui Peng went to several teams in the Portuguese Super League for trial training, and successfully won the recognition of the other side, and finally was able to stay in the middle and lower reaches of the Portuguese Super League team. It is said that Queiroz also made a point. force.

Queiroz said that Cui Peng is a very good midfielder in China. He is only 23 years old. He is hardworking, has solid basic skills, lives well under his feet, and has excellent passing awareness. If he can get more exercise in the Portuguese Super League , must be able to play a greater role in the national team, and Wang Yongpo is the same.

In addition to Cui Peng and Wang Yongpo, Zhao Xuri has stayed abroad in a low-key manner during the winter break and went to the Russian Super League.

...

This time the national team training camp is mainly to practice team tactics, run the team, and prepare for the World Cup qualifiers in July, so the atmosphere is relatively relaxed, and the mentality of the players is relatively relaxed.

But the pressure of the game is not small, and he played three games in one breath in two weeks.

Queiroz has a wealth of experience in the European League, and naturally he will not take risks with Yang Yang and others. He has undergone a large number of rotations in the three games. newcomer.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated New Zealand 2-0, Costa Rica 2-1 and Honduras 3-0, winning the three-game winning streak in the warm-up match.

Yang Yang only played two games before and after, and they only played half-time, and each scored one goal.

Gao Lin performed well. In the second game, he took the lead, scored twice and beat Costa Rica. He performed very well, and people saw his progress in the Eredivisie League. It is said that he has also been awarded by the Premier League team. stared at.

In these three games, Yang Yang also closely observed Huang Baiwen, Zhang Linpeng, Yu Tao, Zhang Chengdong and Zhang Xizhe and other teammates, and they felt very good.

Especially Zhang Linpeng, Zhang Chengdong and Zhang Xizhe, these three players left a deep impression on Yang Yang.

Zhang Xizhe plays for Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, but he has not yet been able to play, but he himself still prefers to stay in Europe and is currently contacting the middle and lower reaches of the Bundesliga, or other leagues such as Ligue 1, Eredivisie and Portuguese Super League. 's team.

Yang Yang's contacts in European football are also quite extensive, and he said that after returning to Europe, people will help him find a suitable team.

…………

…………

After the warm-up match from China, Yang Yang returned to Europe as soon as possible.

Soon, the 30th round of La Liga will be held at the Bernabeu, and Real Madrid will host Sporting Gijon.

Due to the impact of the national team game, many main players including Xavi Alonso, Kaka and Ibrahimovic have not been able to represent the team because they all played in the national team. Full court.

Benitez rotated the team, David Silva, Granero and Javier Martinez partnered in midfield, and Di Maria, Higuain and Yang Yang formed the trident in the frontcourt.

This lineup is not commonly used, especially Granero. Although this Real Madrid youth training direct line is very diligent, his performance is not ideal. This allows Real Madrid to control the situation, but it has never been able to break the opponent's goal.

Until the 60th minute of the second half, Di Maria and Yang Yang exchanged positions. The Argentine appeared on the left and forced a breakthrough with the ball. After throwing off the defenders of Sporting Gijon, it passed to the back point. Yang Yang was right. The rib inserted, volleyed, and broke the goal of Sporting Gijon.

It was the only goal of the game.

In the end, Real Madrid beat Sporting Gijon 1-0 thanks to Yang Yang's goal.

...

Real Madrid won dangerously, and other teams were equally difficult.

Barcelona challenged Villarreal away from home, and they were also unable to attack for a long time. Pique scored a key goal to help Barcelona take three points away from the away game and continue to maintain the lead over Real Madrid.

On the contrary, Valencia, facing Getafe in this round, conceded a goal first, with the outbreak of Soldado in the second half, they reversed Getafe 4-2. The former Real Madrid youth training striker was in the half. In an hour, he scored four goals with his head and feet, staged a big four, performed very well, and won applause.

However, Soldado's outbreak is powerless to shake the La Liga scorer list.

Both Yang Yang and Messi are already ahead of the second-ranked Ibrahimovic with ten goals. After scoring in this round, Yang Yang leads with 36 goals and Messi with 20. Nine goals followed.

But Yang Yang has already begun to target the next quarter-finals of the Champions League.
