According to the FIFA draw, the Chinese team is in the same group as the Netherlands, Cameroon and Denmark in this World Cup, and the strength of the three opponents is not weak.

Needless to say, according to the FIFA rankings, the Netherlands is currently ranked fourth, Cameroon is ranked 19th, Denmark is ranked 36th, and China is ranked 56th, which is the lowest ranking among the four teams.

This is mainly related to the successive defeats in the warm-up matches and the East Asian semifinals in recent times.

But no team dares to despise China, because this team has Yang Yang in it.

How strong Yang Yang is, not only are fans who are familiar with football, but even in the United States, which is known as a football desert, he is also known on the streets.

After helping Real Madrid win the La Liga title and the Champions League double, everyone is looking forward to this year's World Cup.

Many people believe that no matter how well the Chinese team plays, unless Messi and Xiao Luo can lead Argentina or Portugal to win the championship, it may be difficult to shake Yang Yang's lead of two awards at the end of this year.

After having Yang Yang, when the outside media commented on the group of the Chinese team, in addition to the Netherlands, the Chinese team, Denmark and Cameroon all had a chance to qualify, and the outcome was unpredictable.

It is not difficult to see the importance and awe of Yang Yang from the media and fans all over the world.

For different opponents, the Chinese team also arranged different warm-up matches.

……

After Yang Yang returned to the team, the national team went directly to the Swiss training camp after a slight adjustment in Beijing.

This is the training site of the Chinese team before the World Cup, and many foreign international players are basically in Switzerland to meet the team.

China then played a warm-up match against England, but lost 0-1 to Fabio Capello's side.

Immediately afterwards, the Chinese team played a warm-up match with Germany, and this time it lost even worse, losing 1-3 to Germany, which aspires to win the World Cup.

Two games and two losses, the warm-up game has been unbeaten in six games, and domestic public opinion has begun to be suppressed, but whether it is the number one star Yang Yang or the head coach Alihan, they have repeatedly expressed their confidence in the team.

On June 5, the day before the team left for South Africa, they welcomed France, the last opponent of the European training camp.

The whole game was under the control of the French team, and the Chinese team only had 30% possession, but the final result was that the Chinese team narrowly beat France 1-0, and Yang Yang took a direct free kick through the French team's goal.

In this game, the Chinese team's defense was quite tightly organized, with the central defenders led by Zheng Zhi and Feng Xiaoting, plus goalkeeper Wang Dalei, Zhao Junzhe, Zhou Haibin and Zhao Xuri's three backs, all made the Chinese team's defense very solid.

It was precisely because of the solid defense that the Chinese team was able to seize the few opportunities in the field, and Yang Yang scored a direct free kick through the French team's goal and won the first victory in nearly half a year.

When the news reached China, public opinion reversed abruptly.

Before the World Cup, in the face of the powerful French army, the Chinese team's defense was extremely tight, which made everyone see the possibility of the national team making a difference in the World Cup.

After playing the French team, China went to South Africa and ushered in the last warm-up game before the World Cup.

The Chinese team drew 2-2 with Ivory Coast, with Xiang Wang Drogba and midfielder Yaya Toure scoring successively, and Yang Yang and Chen Tao also scoring one goal each, and the two sides shook hands.

When Yang Yang was actively preparing for the World Cup in the national team, the transfer market in European football was also surging.

First, Real Madrid announced the termination of the contract of German centre-back Metzeld, who will return to the Bundesliga on a free transfer, and then sent wide player Marcos Alonso to Bolton Wanderers in the Premier League.

The Academy youngster broke into the first-team squad last summer, but the left wing-back was forced to leave Marcos Alonso without Real Madrid bringing in Maxwell.

Raul and Guti have also announced their departures, and the former will switch to Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga, hoping to continue to play in the Champions League.

In terms of recruitment, Real Madrid first considered Benfica's Argentine winger Di Maria in the winger position.

The 22-year-old wide player is fast, technical and individual and has shone at the Beijing Olympics, winning the attention of fans around the world and performing well in the Portuguese Super League.

Real Madrid's technical team is very optimistic about Di Maria, especially the technical director Baldano, who is full of praise for the Argentine compatriot, believing that he will become a sharp knife in the team's offensive line in the front, and will be a strong complement to Yang Yang and Robben.

Di Maria himself is also full of expectations to join Real Madrid, but the current asking price of Benfica is 40 million euros, hoping that Real Madrid will pay Di Maria's release money, but Real Madrid's offer can only give a maximum of 25 million euros.

Valdano was very tough, saying that Real Madrid would not accept any unrealistic demands.

In addition to Di Maria, Baldano is also interested in Javier Martinez, a midfielder who plays for Athletic Bilbao from Spain.

Real Madrid's technical director believes that Javier Martinez has strong defensive ability, is very big on the pitch, and is still very young, and will become a managerial player in Real Madrid's midfield, but it is not easy for Real Madrid to poach people from Athletic Bilbao, and in the midfield position, Real Madrid already has Mascherano and Las Diarra.

Therefore, Benitez wants Portuguese centre-back David Luiz more, and he firmly believes that this player can greatly improve the quality of Real Madrid's backline, and the Real Madrid coach has even publicly stated that if David Luiz is brought in, then McCone will not be necessary, because Ramos can play at right wing-back.

But more people believe that this is Real Madrid's negotiating tactic.

Inter Milan's offer of €40 million for McCone is far beyond what Real Madrid can accept, and Florentino has made it clear that Real Madrid will not be able to pay such a high transfer fee for a 29-year-old right wing-back.

In this case, Benitez came forward to express his optimism on David Luiz, which is also considered to be Real Madrid's plan for a rainy day.

But after sending off Metzelde, Real Madrid's backline should indeed be strengthened.

At the same time, the Spanish media have also released news that Real Madrid's Dutch midfielder Sneijder has officially submitted a transfer application, hoping to transfer and leave the team this summer, which also makes many teams in the transfer market, including Manchester United, Chelsea, and Inter Milan, eager to him.

Especially Manchester United, Ferguson has even publicly made an offer of 30 million euros to Real Madrid, but Real Madrid sternly refused.

After last season's impressive performances, Sneijder's quality has been recognised by the world, and it is undoubtedly unrealistic to expect 30 million euros to acquire such a good midfield star.

Even if Sneijder has already submitted a transfer request.

After sending away Raul and Guti one after another, with Sneijder's transfer rumors, Real Madrid's reinforcements in the middle of the front field are also imminent.

Racing Santander's youngster Canales has moved to Real Madrid for €6 million, but no one is pinning their hopes on Battleship's attack, so Real Madrid are also targeting Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas and Valencia's David Silva.

But the first to be expelled was Cesc Fabregas, because Arsene Wenger and Barcelona reached a tacit understanding, and Fabregas also refused to contact Real Madrid, repeatedly reiterating that if he returned to La Liga, he would only go to Barcelona.

As a result, Real Madrid, after entering June, decisively shifted their target and attacked David Silva.

Finally, in mid-June, before the World Cup, Real Madrid officially signed Spanish midfielder David Silva from Valencia for 30 million euros, and the 24-year-old homegrown midfielder will play in the Real Madrid shirt for the next six years.

Real Madrid officials and a number of media have expressed their welcome to David Silva's arrival, and coach Benitez also said that the addition of David Silva will bring Real Madrid more offensive means and further improve the team's midfield control.

After receiving the news in South Africa, Yang Yang also openly expressed his welcome to David Silva in an interview with Spanish media, "He made a very right choice, he came to the strongest and greatest team in Europe. ”

David Silva, who is also preparing for the World Cup in South Africa, said in an interview with the media that his family is a fan of Real Madrid, and it is the greatest honor of his life to be able to join Real Madrid.

"Yang Yang is an incredible player, I feel like I'm dreaming to be a teammate with him, and I think it's the happiest thing to do as a player."

…………

…………

Yang Yang is very happy about Real Madrid's signing of David Silva, because he knows that David Silva is a top midfielder in Europe, and having such a player to join must greatly improve Real Madrid's midfield strength.

At the same time, he is also looking forward to Kaka's performance in the new season.

After undergoing surgery and recuperating from an injury for half a year, Kaka's current form is gradually recovering, playing well on behalf of the Brazilian team, and it seems that he is also gearing up for the new season, which is a good thing for Real Madrid and Yang Yang.

As the World Cup approaches, Yang Yang has gradually paid attention to Cameroon, the first opponent in the group stage.

The African Lions have a strong squad with world-class stars such as Samuel Eto'o and well-known players such as Nkuru, Bassoon, Mbiya and Matip, and the overall quality is not bad.

If you want to talk about the overall strength, it must be Cameroon to be better, but as long as the Chinese team does a good job of defense and counterattacks, it may not have the power to fight, after all, the Chinese team also has a top killer like Yang Yang.

Therefore, the biggest test for the Chinese team in this game is defense.

Alihan emphasized the most in the pre-game team meeting, and Yang Yang confidently promised that as long as the team can hold on, he will be able to score a goal.
