In the morning, in the gym of the hotel where the national football team stayed, Yang Yang ran quickly on a treadmill.

Unconsciously, he was already panting and sweating profusely, but the whole person was still very excited.

In last night's Gongti Stadium, the Chinese team defeated Iraq 3-0, and Yang Yang performed very well throughout the game.

After scoring in the opening two minutes of the penalty area, his right side has been the most dangerous area for the Chinese team, and Iraq had to strengthen their defense on the left side and try to freeze Yang Yang's impact on the right side.

But even so, in the 41st minute, Yang Yang seized an opportunity to once again dribble the ball diagonally into the penalty area from the right rib, causing a foul on the opposing defender, and the referee awarded a penalty without hesitation.

Zheng Zhi calmly took the penalty kick and extended the score to 2-0.

scored a goal and planned a goal, and Yang Yang once again became the man of the year in the game.

In the 60th minute of the second half, head coach Alihan replaced Yang Yang again, for the simple reason that he hoped that Yang Yang could maintain this competitive state.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Iraq 3-0, and Zheng Zhi, who scored two penalties, was elected the best player of the game.

Rubbing shoulders with the best in the audience again, Yang Yang was a little sorry in his heart, so much so that after Zheng Zhi returned to the room last night, he smiled and said that he wanted to invite Yang Yang to a big meal, which was regarded as compensation for Yang Yang.

After going to bed early, Yang Yang also got up early.

The hotel is not far from the Gongti Stadium, but there is no good running training place around, he applied with the national team leader before, went to the nearby park to run once, but there were many people, and the facilities were not good, so he did not go out again.

Every morning when he trains in the hotel's gym, Yang Yang has nothing to do with it.

……

Recently, Yang Yang felt that his condition was so good that even he couldn't believe it.

Just like in the game against Iraq, every time he touched the ball, he felt very keen, as if the ball was stuck to his feet, not only the first touch, but he could even predict very clearly what impact his next few actions would have on the ball and what changes would be brought to the surrounding situation.

The Iraqi players were relatively controlling at first, but then they couldn't hold on, and their movements were more rude, but Yang Yang was very focused, paying attention to avoiding and dodging, and never let the opponent's foul succeed.

When he was fouled on a penalty in the box, he flinched and just tripped over.

Last night, in the super training ground, Lao Bing reviewed the game against Iraq with Yang Yang, and also analyzed the reasons for his recent excellent form, that is, scientific training, dietary norms and self-discipline in the past month.

The standardized diet and self-disciplined work and rest time have kept Yang Yang's young body in a pretty good state, and the scientific training has allowed him to constantly stimulate the potential in his body, making him more and more eager for official games, and this desire will make Yang Yang very excited every time he steps on the football field.

But this is only temporary.

Yang Yang must start to learn how to adjust his condition, adjust his body, and learn how to maintain excellent competitive condition for a long time, because big ups and downs are not a good thing for players.

Of course, Yang Yang is only seventeen years old, and there is still a lot to learn, and there is no one on the national team side who can help him, so he can only wait until he returns to Ajax, and then slowly find the coaches and experts of the team to consult and learn.

After sweating in the gym, Yang Yang went to take a shower and steam for a while before leaving comfortably.

…………

…………

"Dad, Mom, cousin, second brother."

As soon as Yang Yang finished breakfast, the hotel staff informed him that there were guests visiting the lobby downstairs.

At that time, he knew that it must be his parents.

Before the game yesterday, he learned on the phone that his parents had come to Beijing.

In addition to Wei Zhen, there were also Su Wenhong, Ye Ziqing and Su Ye who accompanied them this morning.

When everyone saw him, they all smiled from ear to ear.

Yang Yang's performance is getting better and better, and his popularity in China is getting higher and higher, so they are all proud of it.

Although the national football team has been in a bit of a downturn in recent years, it can be said that it is also representing China, and this Asian Cup is indeed performing very well, especially foreign international players like Yang Yang and Shao Jiayi, who have played a key role.

"Now the domestic public opinion is very hot, and your current popularity is really frighteningly high, whether it is the Internet or the media, it has gone crazy." Wei Zhen said it with a bit of disbelief.

Yang Yang's popularity was unexpected, but it was reasonable.

From helping Ajax win the Champions League, to winning the Toulon Cup, to the Asian Cup, he has been too eye-catching and dazzling to ignore.

Not to mention domestic fans, under the bombardment of media newspapers and TV stations, even those non-fans are talking about him.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the Asian Cup is in full swing.

"You know what? As soon as you are on fire, even our little sister is also on fire. Su Wenhong said with a smile.

Su Ye, who was sitting on the side, was ashamed and annoyed, "Dad, I didn't even say I would mention this." ”

Everyone laughed for a while, but it was Yang Yang, who was confused.

"What's wrong?"

"After you scored last night, the game screen switched to the stands, and it was originally going to shoot your uncle and aunt, but Su Ye was sitting next to your aunt, and she was mistaken for your sister, so she was filmed in, and it became popular on the Internet all of a sudden." Wei Zhen explained with a smile.

Yang Yang suddenly realized, nodded and smiled: "That's not a misunderstanding, she is my sister, please take care of the eldest brother and second brother in the future." ”

In the end, he deliberately pretended to clench his fists and arch his hands, which made everyone laugh again, and Su Ye was even more shy.

Yang Yang stayed in Beijing for a month, he has been taken care of by Su Wenhong's family, coupled with the relationship between the Wei Zhen brothers, Yang Yang said that Su Ye is his sister, and there is no problem at all, Su Wenhong and Ye Ziqing are very happy, and they also discussed with Yang Yang's parents the question of who is older and who is small.

Not to mention that I don't know, it turns out that Yang Yang is exactly four months older than Su Ye.

Yang Yang was happy now, he had been a sister to Shen Yuzhu since he was a child, and he had long wanted to have a younger brother or sister.

"By the way, Dad, how long are you going to stay this time?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

"I will stay for a while, at least after watching the Asian Cup, I will go back." Yang Yongqiang said.

Yang Yang represented the national team and was highly valued by provincial and municipal leaders, coupled with his current popularity in China, Yang Yongqiang's company has benefited from it.

"We are here this time, mainly to talk about sponsoring a marathon next year, and at the same time, we also have to negotiate cooperation with a well-known domestic university in the field of sports research and analysis, and it is estimated that we will stay for a while." Wei Zheng explained.

"When you go back to the Netherlands after the Asian Cup, Yuzhu and I will go back with you."

Yang Yang frowned when he heard this, "You want to go back to the Netherlands?" ”

"Don't be nervous, the two of them went back to the Netherlands mainly to set up our footwear and apparel design center in Europe." Yang Yongqiang said.

Yang Yang was relieved when he heard this.

Then they talked about Yang Yang's affairs in the national team, and encouraged him to work hard to maintain his condition and strive to win glory for the country.

"You know, in the history of Chinese football, we have never won the Asian Cup, and this year is the first time that China has hosted the Asian Cup, if you can win the championship, you will become a hero in the eyes of everyone." Wei Zhen said very sincerely.

Yang Yongqiang, Wei Zheng and Su Wenhong also feel that as long as Yang Yang maintains his current state, the national football team still has a hard time, because judging from the performance of the group stage, the South Korean team is not in good shape, and Bonfreire's coaching has also encountered problems.

In the knockout round, South Korea and Iran are dead, and the two teams will definitely go to the same team.

Traditional powerhouse Saudi Arabia was unexpectedly eliminated from the group stage, leaving Iran and Japan behind.

Suffice it to say, there are certainly challenges, but so is hope.

Yang Yang also nodded again and again when he heard it, and his eyes showed a strong sense of longing.

Goals and championships are never disliked by players.

…………

…………

Before China beat Iraq 3-0, Uzbekistan drew 2-2 with Bahrain, but lost 3-4 on penalties in the final penalty shoot-out and ultimately missed the qualification.

On the second day of the Chinese team's game, Japan successfully equalized the score after conceding a goal first, and the two sides tied 1-1, and finally in the penalty shootout, Japan withstood the pressure and eliminated Jordan 4-3 and successfully advanced.

In the last game of the quarterfinals, the South Korean team defeated Iran, and the two sides played inextricably.

Karimi opened the scoring in the opening 10 minutes, and six minutes later, South Korea's Xue Qihyun equalised.

But at 20 minutes, it was Karimi who scored again to give Iran the lead again, and Lee Dongguo equalized five minutes later.

After the rematch in the second half, Park Ji-sung scored an own goal, and then Kim Nam-il equalized, but Karimi's goal in the 77th minute completely sealed the victory for Iran.

In the end, Iran eliminated South Korea 4-3 with Karimi's hat-trick and Park Ji-sung's own goal.

South Korea's elimination has relieved Chinese fans, but Iran should not be underestimated.

The most humiliating thing for Chinese fans was the Golden State Top 10 match that year, when the Chinese team scored two goals first, they were forced to score four goals in a row by the Iranian team and lost that game in shame.

Now, China and Iran meet again, and it is also in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, and both sides are full of gunpowder.

In an interview with the media, the coach of the South Korean team, Bonfreire, expressed his disappointment at the elimination of Iran on the one hand, and said that it was difficult for the Chinese team to defeat Iran.

"We played against Iran, this team is stronger than China, there are a lot of players with characteristics, and the Chinese team has almost none, so there is no doubt that this game will be very difficult for the Chinese team, and Iran will be the favorites to reach the final."

Regarding the South Korean coach's remarks, the Chinese media and fans generally believe that he is looking for a step for himself, after all, Iran eliminated South Korea.

But in a survey on the official website of the Asian Cup, more than 80 percent of fans believe that Iran will reach the final.

China?

Destined to play the role of a tragic escort!
