A flight from Madrid, Spain, slowly landed at the capital airport.

Not long after, Yang Yang and Su Ye appeared with a smile and a smile, accompanied by Wei Zheng and Winston Bogard, holding their son Yang Guang's hand one after another, and the media reporters who had been squatting at the scene immediately pounced.

Seeing the media and fans who suddenly appeared, Yang Yang and his entourage were a little surprised, because their itinerary was not revealed, but they were used to seeing it, so Su Ye took his son to go first, and Wei Zheng and Winston Bogard accompanied Yang Yang to deal with the media.

"Yang Yang, how are your injuries? Can you make it to the World Cup? ”

"Of course you can, I think it's good, no problem."

"Two days ago, the national team played their first pre-World Cup warm-up match and drew 0-0 with Macedonia, what do you think?"

"I watched the game live and I thought it was a good performance, especially our defense, which was a good grasp."

'But we missed a lot of chances in attack.

"yes, that's a question, but I think we should see the pros better, shouldn't we?"

'A lot of people think it's your absence that is causing the team's lack of attacking strength.

"I don't see it that way, we have a lot of good players, such as Gao Lin, who played well in the Premier League, Feng Xiaoting as well, and Chen Tao, who used to be a substitute at Borussia Dortmund, but in the last year, he switched to midfield because of an injury to a rival, and I think he played very well and Klopp has been successful in transforming him."

"But Gao Lin missed two very good must-score goals, and Wu Lei didn't put up a satisfactory performance."

'We need to be more lenient on this because the league has just ended and everyone needs time to adjust.

Having been in the top leagues of Europe for many years, Yang Yang's method of dealing with media reporters has long been perfected, especially in domestic media, and it is even easier to deal with it, he almost always gives answers as soon as the other party's questions are over, as if he can completely guess what the other party wants to ask.

This also made the media reporters at the scene feel a little depressed, because they were very passive.

"Yang Yang, can you talk about your views on this World Cup?" A domestic authoritative media asked.

Yang Yang paid attention to it and nodded: "Yes, this World Cup is pinned on by many people, but what I want to say is that our football level is not high, football development cannot be achieved overnight, we need time and accumulation, but I still believe that we can make a difference on the stage of the World Cup this year." ”

"I feel like we have what it takes to shock the world!"

Yang Yang's last sentence was loud and sonorous, and it also made everyone feel his determination and confidence.

"Can you win the championship?" Someone in the crowd asked in a heckling voice.

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and they were obviously amused by the question.

Will the Chinese team win the World Cup?

Are you sure this isn't a joke? Not a pipe dream?

Yang Yang also smiled, but replied confidently: "I can't answer this question, but I can be sure that we will do our best to play every game and strive for every victory, as for how far we can go, no one knows." ”

It's very honest and straightforward.

The strength of the Chinese team is there, the ability of the players is also there, and the gap with the world's top teams is there, which cannot deceive people.

Yang Yang did not answer any questions about the results and goals of the World Cup, he avoided the important and trivial, because he himself was not sure, no one knew what this World Cup would be like, so he could only do his best to play.

Since 2014, under the call of the top leadership, a huge wave of football reform is being set off in China, not only the league, but also youth training and overseas education, which make people see the positive side of Chinese football.

And Yang Yang is the goal and direction of countless Chinese!

After Yang Yang returned to China, he went directly to the national team to report the next day.

Regarding his injury, Queiroz and the national team doctor have been in contact with Real Madrid, and Real Madrid also said that during the World Cup, a team doctor will be specially arranged to accompany the Chinese team to be responsible for Yang Yang's injury management.

Yang Yang's return to the team greatly boosted the morale of the national team, and all the international players gave him a warm welcome.

In this game against Macedonia, Yang Yang was absent due to injury, which made the national team's frontcourt attack weak, Gao Lin and Wu Lei missed many scoring opportunities, and were criticized, and now Yang Yang is back, although he is still recovering from injury, but let the team find the backbone.

When Yang Yang saw his teammates, he still reiterated what he said in an interview with the media before, and he hoped that everyone in the team could unite as one, continue to work hard, and strive to surprise everyone at the World Cup in Brazil.

'We're going to have a lot of old opponents in this World Cup, like Argentina, who are dominated by players from that World Youth Championship, like Zabaleta, who has now switched to right wing-back, and the likes of Biglia, Mascherano and Lionel Messi, who were our opponents back then.

"Germany, the Netherlands and Brazil are all in that age group, but it's interesting to note that a lot of the opponents we played with in the past are no longer in these national teams."

When Yang Yang said this, there was silence around him, and everyone showed a thoughtful look.

Football is brutal, especially professional football.

The players who participated in the World Youth Championships that year were all the best among their peers in their countries, and all of them were young rookies who were valued and cultivated, but many of them, even most of them, were finally lost to everyone and did not meet the expectations of the outside world that year.

The most typical is Mikel, who was so majestic back then, but what was the result?

Even if it is the Chinese team, less than half of the team that won the championship can continue to play in the national team now, and almost all of them are staying abroad, which proves that Yang Yang strongly recommended his teammates to stay in the United States, which was a wise choice, and also ensured the competitiveness of the Chinese internationals.

"I feel like it's like an exam for us."

Feng Xiaoting and the others pondered for a while, and immediately understood what Yang Yang meant.

"Back then, when we won the World Youth Championships, many people felt that we were lucky, accidental, lucky, and coincidental, and some people even felt that the referee was biased and took care of us, but now, almost ten years, we are all mature, we need to show performance and results to prove ourselves."

"That's why I said, I hope we can shock the world at the World Cup in Brazil!"

All the international players, whether they participated in the World Youth Championship that year or not, were infected by Yang Yang's words.

The World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, that was a period of glory for Chinese football, although it was only a youth team competition, but it was the first world championship of Chinese football, and now, nine years later, that group of young teenagers have now become the backbone of the national team.

In European clubs, some of them are functional players, some are role substitutes, some are dispensable marginalists, and some have even reached the point of being sold......

But each of them is holding back their breath, they are all holding their strength, they are unwilling, unconvinced.

Yang Yang is right, they were also world champions, even if they were only world champions of the youth team, but they also trampled the high Messi under their feet, making the invincible Argentine, Dutch, Brazilian, and German tremble under their feet.

Time has passed, and what was possible back then may not be able to be done now.

But they are willing to try, willing to fight.

Even if it's just to fulfill that dream and that wish in your heart.

…………

…………

According to the three group stage opponents of the World Cup, the Chinese team specially arranged three warm-up matches.

Macedonia is targeting Greece, Côte d'Ivoire is targeting Mali, and Colombia is arranging Costa Rica.

After a 0-0 draw with Macedonia, the Chinese team then ushered in the warm-up match of Costa Rica, and this time the Chinese team scored the only goal for the team with a long-range shot from Chen Tao in the second half, and finally narrowly defeated Costa Rica 1-0.

But after playing the Perfect Continent team, the Chinese team played a stalemate again in the last warm-up game, against Mali, and finally drew 0-0 with the opponent, and the whole game was very passive.

Since Queiroz coached the Chinese team, the biggest feature is to focus on defense and play overall football, and the frontcourt offense revolves around Yang Yang, but due to a left shoulder injury, Yang Yang did not play in three warm-up games, which also seriously affected the performance of the Chinese team, especially on the offensive end.

However, the good news is that Yang Yang has no problem catching up with the World Cup, but Colombia's number one star Falcao was not selected for the Colombian national team and missed the World Cup due to injury, which also made the Chinese team and the other two group opponents breathe a sigh of relief.

Judging from the current situation, the three opponents in this group where the Chinese team is located are all good.

Needless to say, Colombia is missing, although Falcao is missing, but there are also famous European stars such as James Rodriguez, Jackson Martinez, Cuadrado, etc., Ivory Coast is generally older, but stars such as Drogba, Collo Toure and Yaya Toure should not be underestimated, and there are stars like Gervinho in the Mesozoic.

Greece is relatively not strong, but in the end, it is a team that has won the European Cup, the overall strength is very strong, and the defense is also very solid, which is the foundation that has been passed down all the way from winning the European Cup that year to the present.

If purely from the point of view of strength, these three teams are extraordinary, no matter which one the Chinese team faces, it does not have enough chance of winning and grasping, so it can only be every game to do their best, every game is dead.

Judging from the past results, if you want to qualify from the group, you need to get at least one win and one draw.

Queiroz's strategy is also very pragmatic, the whole team defends, and the offense can only rely on Yang Yang.
