649 National Heroes

While the European transfer market is still confusing, the Chinese team has begun to quietly travel to the Middle East.

Throughout June, the Chinese team will play four World Cup qualifiers, the first of which is to travel to Doha to challenge Qatar away.

This is Yang Yang's first appearance in the national team competition after last year's Asian Cup, and it is his first appearance after winning the World Footballer of the Year and the European Golden Ball Award, which has attracted the attention of the whole country.

Even many domestic fans have travelled to Doha just to catch a glimpse of the world footballer of the year making his international debut.

He has been in charge of China for six years, and Alihan has already left a deep mark on this team.

Especially in the past few years, as Chinese players have gradually gained a foothold in the European arena, the overall strength of the Chinese team has also improved a lot.

Chen Tao has been very eye-catching in Anderlecht, and has begun to attract the attention of the big four league teams, and it is more difficult to join the upstream teams, but there is still a chance to gain a foothold in the middle and lower teams.

The same is true of Feng Xiaoting, Gao Lin and Zhou Haibin, all of whom are the best performers among the foreign internationals, and although they are not playing in the top league, they have all shown good strength and made gratifying progress.

The reason for the two games and two draws in the first two rounds was that the team's defense was very good, but the offensive side was never able to make a difference.

This also makes the national team and domestic fans look forward to Yang Yang's return.

The game is still composed of Yang Yang, Gao Lin and Chen Tao in the front court, Zhao Junzhe, Zheng Zhi, Zhou Haibin in the middle, Sun Xiang, Li Weifeng, Feng Xiaoting and Sun Jihai in the backline, and the goalkeeper is Song Zhenyu.

The summer in Doha was very hot and the temperatures were very high, but both sides played at a high pace from the start.

Just two minutes into the game, Yang Yang was fouled by a Qatari player when he got the ball on the left side, and got a free kick opportunity on the left side of the penalty area, about 30 meters away from the goal.

Yang Yang took the lead and personally took the free kick.

may be because the distance is a bit far away and the location is a little biased, Qatar feels that it is unlikely to hit the door directly, so the human wall does not attach great importance to it, but this just gives Yang Yang a chance.

After exhaling heavily, Yang Yang took a quick step, stepping on the familiar steps, after standing still with his left foot, his body tilted, and his right foot quickly kicked out, the football was like a cannonball, quickly leaping over the human wall, and after crossing an arc, he turned into the goal of Qatar, 1-0!

This goal not only stunned the Qatari players, but even the players of the national football team themselves were dumbfounded.

Many of them hadn't played against Yang Yang for a year, and to their surprise, although they had seen Yang Yang from the media, newspapers and TV in the past year, and knew that he had made rapid progress and improved his strength quickly, they never knew that he had reached this level.

A direct free kick of 30 meters, especially on the left side, was achieved in one fell swoop!

That's the strength of the World Footballer!

……

After being snatched away by Yang Yang, Qatar was completely panicked.

Subsequently, the Chinese team began to retreat, and Qatar pressed hard.

In the fourteenth minute, the Chinese team launched a counterattack, a continuous pass on the right side and the middle, Sun Jihai passed the low flat ball diagonally to the back of the penalty area, Yang Yang easily ran to the position, jumped high, took the lead in the header, and broke the Qatar goal again.

Two to zero!

This time not only did Qatar's morale suffer a big setback, but the Chinese team was greatly excited.

During Yang Yang's absence, the team's difficulty in scoring goals has always been a problem, but now that Yang Yang is back, they all find that it is not difficult at all, it is so easy.

So what else do they have to worry about?

In the second half, after the rematch, the two-goal lead of the Chinese team patiently poured their feet in the midfield and backfield, and suddenly got a chance, Sun Xiang passed diagonally behind the defense line on the left side, Yang Yang quickly diagonally inserted into the penalty area, and after getting the ball, he shook past the opponent's two defenders and passed to the middle of the goal.

This is an opportunity where the difficulty of not scoring a goal is far greater than the difficulty of scoring a goal, and Gao Lin almost effortlessly blocked the ball into the goal, three to zero!

It is estimated that even Qatar itself did not expect that with Yang Yang, the overall strength of the Chinese team would improve so much.

When the victory was in hand, Alihan decisively replaced Yang Yang and kept the score of 3-0 until the end of the game.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Qatar 3-0 away with Yang Yang's brace and an assist.

……

After the end of the war in Qatar, it caused a huge repercussion in the country.

Fans all over the country are celebrating this hard-won victory, and everyone is clearly aware of the importance of Yang Yang to the current national team, and everyone believes that as long as Yang Yang is there, the Chinese team will be able to enter the World Cup again.

Alihan also said in an interview with Chinese media after the game that it is a blessing to have a player like Yang Yang, and the head coach only needs to do a good job of defending, organizing the team's attack, creating chances, and he can turn them into goals.

"I have watched him grow from a rookie to the world's top superstar today, and I think he will become the brightest star in the history of Chinese football and even world football, and will also bring historic changes to Chinese football."

…………

…………

Four days later, Tianjin, China.

In the fourth round of the World Cup qualifiers, China played Qatar at home.

In the first attack of the opening, the Chinese team quickly played a threatening offensive, and after the backfield continued to fall down, the long pass entered the Qatari penalty area, and under the active scramble of Gao Lin, the Qatari defenders hurriedly cleared, but the ball did not fly far.

Yang Yang appeared on the periphery of the penalty area like a ghost, facing the football on the ground, and directly volleyed it, breaking through the Qatar goal again and opening the scoring for the Chinese team.

Not long after, the Chinese team planned an offensive on the right side, Chen Tao and Zheng Zhi who was inserted behind formed a cooperation, crossed to the back point from the right, Yang Yang rushed to the horse, and easily pushed the goal.

Two to zero!

Although in the thirteenth minute, Li Weifeng's foul gave the opponent a penalty opportunity, but in the end the game was still 2-1, and the Chinese team defeated Qatar at home and ushered in two consecutive wins.

…………

…………

Winning both games, the Chinese team, under the leadership of Yang Yang, played a surprising attacking power, and at the same time greatly shocked the other teams in the same group, all opponents know that the Chinese team with Yang Yang is the real Chinese team.

A week later, it was still in Tianjin.

The Chinese team welcomed Iraq.

The two sides had played a game in the Asian Cup final before, and Iraq knew very well the strength of the Chinese team, so this game adopted the tactics of defensive counterattack, and in the first 30 minutes, it was almost impregnable, not giving the Chinese team the slightest chance.

Iraq even arranged two players to keep an eye on Yang Yang.

But even so, in the thirty-second minute, Yang Yang still got a chance.

It was an indirect free-kick from the front of the Chinese team.

In other words, it has to be a second touch of the ball to form a shot.

Zheng Zhi cooperated with Yang Yang, the former gently flicked horizontally, Yang Yang directly volleyed with his left foot, hit a curved ball, crossed the human wall, and drilled into the goal, 1 to 0!

But just before the end of the first half, Iraq managed to equalize, and Son Jihai's defensive mistake on the right gave the opponent a chance, and the two sides finally ended the first half 1-1.

After the rematch in the second half, Iraq still showed great tenacity, restricting Yang Yang while freezing the Chinese team's attack with strict defense, and at the same time waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

The tactic worked again in the 65th minute.

Iraq took advantage of a quick counterattack to break through the Chinese team's goal again.

Later, Iraq even had a chance to take advantage of a corner kick and almost score.

But after entering the 80th minute, the Chinese team first crossed by Gao Lin's header, Yang Yang crossed to the back point, Chen Tao calmly pushed and hit, equalizing the score, and two minutes later, it was Gao Lin who responded on the left side, Yang Yang crossed the middle of the penalty area after getting the ball, and Zhou Haibin calmly pushed the goal near the penalty spot, 3 to 2!

In the face of the tenacious Iraq, the Chinese team won a narrow victory.

And this game also caused reflection within the national team coaching staff and players, that is, when the opponent is defending Yang Yang strictly, how the team should create opportunities for him, and how the team's defense should be more tightly organized.

…………

…………

A week after the narrow victory over Iraq, China welcomed their last opponent in the group stage, Australia.

The tournament was held in Sydney.

In the first half, the team was lucky, the Chinese team took the lead, and Sun Xiang took the lead in the outside of the penalty area, using a long-range shot to penetrate the Australian goal.

In the second half, after the rematch of Yibian, Chen Tao stepped forward on the right side, crossed from the front line to the back point, and Yang Yang pushed the goal in front of the goal.

Then Yang Yang and Sun Xiang got consecutive chances on the left side, and Gao Lin created a penalty opportunity in the penalty area, and Zheng Zhi calmly hit the penalty to expand the score again, 3-0.

The score was maintained until the end of the game.

The number one star in the Australian team is Colwill, who is a former Liverpool player, but because he never got a chance in Liverpool, he was forced to transfer and leave the team, and before the game, Colwill also repeatedly admonished the national team to be careful of Yang Yang, but he didn't expect to lose.

Australia netted three goals to relinquish the title of top of the group.

Although the Chinese team drew two consecutive rounds in the first two rounds, after Yang Yang's return, it quickly ushered in four consecutive wins, and finally qualified for the top 10 in the group and successfully advanced to the top 10.

……

When the news came back to China, it once again sparked national jubilation.

When the previous two draws were drawn, everyone was very worried about the future of the national football team, but now, they can rest assured.

After Yang Yang's return, he scored six goals and three assists in four rounds, and his performance was quite eye-catching, and he was the key figure in the four consecutive victories of the national football team, and he also became a hero in the eyes of the people of the whole country, and his status in the country was once again raised to a new height.

Whether it is winning the World Footballer of the Year or the European Golden Ball Award, or Yang Yang fighting in the Premier League, scoring 52 goals in a single season, how he performs, and how the foreign media praises, but for Chinese fans, it is far less than the repercussions caused by him wearing this national team jersey and playing these four games.

……

After playing the World Cup qualifiers, the time has come to the end of June.

Once again, there are some new changes in the transfer market in European football.

And Yang Yang also received a phone call from Europe after returning to Beijing from Sydney.
