Reporters think that Gao Hongbo may shake hands with Yang Fan. Unexpectedly, Gao Hongbo directly hugged Yang Fan in his arms.

He hugged Yang Fan hard, for fear that this big baby would be lost.

Yang Fan's report on the national team was known by Gao Hongbo a day in advance. Yang Fan called him yesterday and informed him of his recovery from his injury, Yang Fan said that he had recovered well and had been able to carry out recovery training, however, he could not play for the time being, the first game of the Asian Cup of the Chinese team, and the game against Kuwait, Yang Fan was almost impossible to play.

Although Yang Fan said that he could not play in the first game with Kuwait, Gao Hongbo was still excited when he received a call from Yang Fan and learned that Yang Fan could come to the national team to report.

Now it's okay, anyway, Yang Fan came to report to the national team. The pressure on Gao Hongbo's heart is also much lighter. At least he doesn't have to face the media's questions about whether Yang Fan can really catch up with the Asian Cup. And Yang Fan returned to the team. It also injected a magical power into the somewhat panicked team, this magical power can have a calming and tranquil magical power, everyone's restless hearts have calmed down, and the landlord's heart on the field has returned.

"Coach Gao, Yang Fan returns to the team. Yang Fan said with a smile.

"Welcome home. Gao Hongbo shouted excitedly.

Yang Fan's return to the team is big news. Major media rushed to report. The insecurity that has been haunting the Chinese fans for a long time has finally dissipated somewhat. Although the national team held a press conference to say that Yang Fan can only carry out recovery training now, and it is mainly jogging and personal training, and has not yet reached the point of training with the ball with the team, it is already a miracle that Yang Fan can return to the team before the opening of the Asian Cup, and the fans are already very happy.

The Asian Cup kicks off on June 7, which is tonight. The first match of the Chinese team is on June 8, which is tomorrow. According to the injury of Yang Fan announced by the Chinese team, Yang Fan should not be able to catch up with the game with Kuwait, however, Chinese fans are generally psychologically prepared for this, and they also believe that Yang Fan, as a strategic nuclear weapon, the real role is in the knockout stage, as long as Yang Fan can return from injury in the quarterfinals, it is a good result, and Chinese fans are generally optimistic about the Chinese team from the group.

Subsequently, Yang Fan, who arrived at the hotel, after a short break, Yang Fan said in an interview with CCTV that he feels good now, and he said in a very serious tone that he has no problem participating in the Asian Cup, or rather, this is more like a commitment, a commitment to the fans and his own expectations for himself.

In the afternoon of the same day. After the whole team training is over. Gao Hongbo called Yang Fan alone, and the team doctor of the Chinese national team, as well as the authoritative experts on sports injuries invited by the Chinese Football Association from China for the Asian Cup, or for Yang Fan, conducted a consultation and examination of Yang Fan's injury.

The results of the examination were mixed.

Yang Fan's injury, these doctors and experts are clear, they have Yang Fan's case report in their hands, for Yang Fan's recovery, the results of the examination are gratifying, in the words of sports injury rehabilitation expert Pei Wei, Yang Fan can recover so well in less than a month, it is already a miracle.

There are joys and worries, they are not so optimistic about when Yang Fan will be able to play, and the physical condition at that time, because Yang Fan's current recovery is a miracle, and it is almost impossible for you to ask Yang Fan to recover well, so it is almost impossible for Yang Fan to come back before the knockout stage of the game, that is to say, the Chinese team cannot rely on Yang Fan in the group stage game.

This result made Gao Hongbo frown, and the Chinese media and fans are optimistic about the Chinese team to qualify from the group stage, Gao Hongbo did not dare to be careless, the host Qatar needless to say, the strength is good, and there is a home advantage, as well as the West Asian team's old tricks on the referee issue...... The match between the Chinese team and Qatar should not be taken lightly, and in addition, Uzbekistan, as a Central Asian powerhouse, should not be underestimated. The Chinese team's qualification for the group stage is not as optimistic as the outside world imagined. Of course, none of this is a problem if you have a healthy Yang Fan, the problem is that Yang Fan now seems unlikely to play in the group stage. According to the experts, according to Yang Fan's recovery, he was able to catch up with the knockout stage, which is already a miracle of kinesiology and anthropology. The Pei Wei expert hired by the national team with a high salary, now looks at Yang Fan like a guinea pig, and seems to be eager to slice Yang Fan and study it to find out why Yang Fan's body recovered so quickly.

Pei Wei naturally couldn't think of the reason why Yang Fan recovered quickly even if he wanted to break his head.

Although these experts said conclusively that Yang Fan would not be able to make a comeback before the quarterfinals, Yang Fan did not say much about it, even if he said something, these people would not believe it, everything is not as powerful as the facts. Yang Fan is very optimistic about his recovery, despite the hard restorative treatment and training in the systematic rehabilitation center, Yang Fan trains almost every day until he can't move, which is comparable to torture. However, there is a reward for paying, Yang Fan is deeply aware of this, he can really feel the recovery of his body, this is a very wonderful feeling, especially when the reality is despairing, but now it seems to be in a desperate situation, dead wood spring, this feeling is too good, the whole person's heart is full of hope.

He is now convinced of Martin's plan for recovery.

It was the opening day of the Asian Cup, and Yang Fan and the rest of his teammates from the Chinese team watched the opening game in their hotel room.

How strong is Qatari football, which hosted the 2o11 Asian Cup and the 2o22 World Cup? In this opening match, the host Qatar team defeated the Central Asian powerhouse Uzbekistan team with o:2.

Qatar has money, and their strategy is to spend money on mercenaries. In the 11-man squad for this match, there are seven mercenaries, including those from Uruguay, Brazil, and former Ghana national youth players. But in this game, the mercenaries were very weak, the defensive line was very porous, and the Uzbek team frequently used sharp counterattacks to create killing opportunities, and even swallowed two bullets in the second half.

Under the gaze of heavyweights such as Qatari Emir Hamad Al Thani, FIFA President Blatter, and AFC President Hammam, the host country lost in disgrace. Qatari fans were so angry that they left the stadium early 1o minutes before the end of the game. After all, the ball is kicked with the feet, relying on oil alone, if you only look at the performance of today's game, it will be difficult for their team to even qualify.

Qatar will play China in their next match. If it loses again, the host will basically be out of Group A early, and it can be said that the fate of the host Qatar, with the loss of this opening game, is already in the hands of the Chinese team.

Yang Fan and others watched the live broadcast of this game, and they were surprised by the result of the game, after all, Qatar is the host, and it is a traditional strong team in Asia, it can be said that it is the champion of this Asian Cup, no one thought that Qatar would be so cleanly cut down by Uzbekistan.

The next day, the Chinese team ushered in the game of this Asian Cup.

Before the game, Chinese fans and media were given more definite news that Yang Fan would miss the game due to injury.

Although they were mentally prepared for this, when the news was confirmed, the fans were still a little disappointed.

Of course, the happiest in this news is the opponent of the Chinese team, Kuwait, in their eyes, Yang Fan is simply a behemoth, making people frightened and shuddering, without Yang Fan, they still have certain ideas about winning the Chinese team.

The Chinese team and the Kuwaiti team have met 11 times in the international A-level competition, and the national football team has 4 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, scoring 12 goals and conceding 1o goals, with a slight advantage. However, what most fans remember is still Kuwait's "debt" of blocking the Chinese team from the German World Cup.

The host Qatar was unexpectedly defeated at the feet of Uzbekistan, which made the group qualifying situation chaotic, and Kuwait, who was unwilling to fight with the host in the last round to qualify for the qualifying place, was all the main players in this campaign, and the number one striker Mutawa also made an "unexpected" comeback. He scored 1o goals in official matches for Kuwait in 201o and also scored seven goals in the AFC Champions League for Kuwait Al Khadisiyah. It was rumored that he was injured and missed the battle, but now he is back in the line of fire. It can be seen that it is different from Yang Fan's injury, this injury can be said to be nothing more than a smoke bomb released by the Kuwaitis.

Yang Fan watched the game from the stands.

After the first five minutes of the opening kick-off, the young Chinese team took the lead, and the intention of attacking the two wings was very obvious, and Qu Bo's header almost broke the goal. However, as the Kuwait team gradually entered the state, the Chinese team felt more and more pressure from the opponent, the mistakes increased, the midfield was out of control, and the scene fell into disadvantage. Among them, Du Wei's "foul in the penalty area with a big action" was let go by the referee, and the national football team did not concede the ball early.

However, an "accident" in the 34th minute changed the course of the game. Yang Xu, a single striker who has not been seen for a long time, "has become a blockbuster if he doesn't make a sound", and his counter-robbery fell to the ground at the same time as the main defender of the away team, Musaa, who was annoyed and angry, was hot-headed for a while, deliberately retaliated and kicked Yang Xu's vital parts, and was directly shown a red card by referee Williams, and Musaad also became the first player to be expelled from the Asian Cup.

When he left the field, Musa'd hid his face and wept. This also means that the Chinese team will have an advantage of one more man in the remaining 55 minutes. However, in the rest of the first half, the away team's full contraction also made it impossible for the Chinese team to attack, not only difficult to penetrate in the middle, but also the two wings were completely dumb. On the contrary, before the end of the first half, the Kuwait team almost broke the Chinese team's goal with a free kick, and the two sides changed sides.

This is the first time Yang Fan watched the national team's game in the stands, his brows were tightly locked, the first feeling of the national team was that the pace was too slow, and his teammates seemed to be lacking in confidence, they were afraid of making mistakes, the football was passed to the next player, and the next player hurried to pass the football out again, lest the football go wrong when it was under his feet...... This made Yang Fan feel strange, when he played with these people, it was the same players, and they couldn't be said to be up a notch all of a sudden, but at least they looked more confident, what's wrong.

Yang Fan subconsciously ignored one point, this is himself, his own importance to this team, when Yang Fan is on the field, the players have the bottom of their hearts, feel that they have the backbone, and they will play more relaxed and more confident!

Yibian fought again, Gao Hongbo made personnel adjustments, and Hao Junmin replaced Qu Bo, but the situation still did not change much. On the contrary, Kuwait "almost broke the goal": at that time, Mutawa's small-angle free kick hit directly into the near corner of the goal, Yang Zhi did not press the ball steadily in a hurry, and the ball slid inward and seemed to have crossed the goal line, although the Kuwaiti player signaled to score, but Williams still did not say anything. According to the slow-motion replay, the main body of the ball had crossed the goal line, and the Chinese team escaped again.

Yang Fan in the stands was a little surprised, when did the Chinese team get so taken care of by the referee?!

As the saying goes, if you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing. The Chinese team finally waited for Houfu in the 58th minute, and the process was equally dramatic: Yang Hao took a corner kick, and after two consecutive battles, the ball was cleared to the edge of the big penalty area, Peng took a shot with his feet, and the ball hit Fadil's body and then changed the line and drilled into the lower left corner of the goal, with this "own goal", the Chinese team was lucky to take a one-goal lead.

This sudden change changed the situation on the field completely. The Kuwait team, which was behind the score, was forced to press forward, and the open defense was gradually revealed. The Chinese team's specialty of fighting counterattacks was able to swing.

Ten minutes later, the Chinese team played a smooth counterattack: goalkeeper Yang Zhi attacked quickly, the ball passed to the feet of Hao Junmin several times, and his clever line change broke through to win a free kick in front. China's Deng Zhuo fired a tricky shot that cut through a beautiful arc, bypassed the opposition goalkeeper and hit the far post into the net. 2:o! The Chinese team locked in the victory.

This game is the match of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup, which has attracted much attention.

After the game, Xinhua News Agency made a comment on the comparison for the first time, and they said, "...... The Chinese team ushered in the Asian Cup. Facing Kuwait, the new champion of the Gulf Cup, the Chinese men's football team, which lacked the captain of the team, Yang Fan, first suppressed and then raised, and after avoiding the opponent's many "must-kills", with the red card that the opponent ate for a while, and the "own goal" that broke the deadlock, finally won the opening 2:o. However, three points are far from enough to allow China to qualify from the group, and a victory of luck cannot hide the problems exposed by the team battle, and the bigger test is yet to come......

Yang Fan also walked to the locker room after the game, celebrating the victory with his teammates, he was surrounded by reporters, as the most valuable star in today's football, he is undoubtedly the biggest star of this Asian Cup, Yang Fan's every word is enough to be put in the headlines by the media.

'In continental competitions, every win is not easy, to be able to get three points, that's the most important thing, and I want to thank my team-mates because they played so hard and thanked them for their hard work, but I was only able to watch them play from the stands. In the face of the reporters' tricky questions, Yang Fan directly avoided sensitive topics and expressed support and gratitude to his teammates.

got rid of the entanglement of reporters and returned to the locker room, Yang Fan saw that Gao Hongbo was on fire, the team won, but the head coach was not happy at all, obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the process of this game.

I don't know why, seeing Gao Hongbo's anger burning, Yang Fan felt very good for no reason...... With such a manager, perhaps, there is really hope......
