187 Ball Central Defender [Sixth Update, 18,000 words, ask for a monthly pass]
In the following days, Yang Yang was still three points and one line.
got up early every morning and invited Su Ye to the Summer Palace to run, and sometimes Su Wenhong would go with him.
Don't look at Yang Yang is running on the ball, but he really has to fight for speed, and he doesn't lose to Su Ye's father and daughter at all.
But Su Ye also has her strengths, that is, she knows everything about the Summer Palace, from the major attractions of the Summer Palace to historical allusions, she is like a treasure, and introduces them to Yang Yang one by one, which not only benefits Yang Yang a lot, but also admires it very much.
He really didn't know it before, it turned out that every place in this Summer Palace has a story, and every name has an allusion and source.
In addition to admiration, he was also a little ashamed, after all, his previous play was more like swallowing dates and chewing peonies.
Especially at the end of June, the lotus flowers are in full bloom, and Kunming Lake is even more beautiful, so that Yang Yang does not want to leave every time.
In addition to morning exercises, he usually trains alone in Su Wenhong's school, and in addition to shopping at night, he usually stays at home and enters the super training ground for special training, specifically to improve [Bergkamp's stopping].
He is now full of ambition to perform in the Asian Cup, and at the very least, he does not want to disappoint the fans who like him at home.
While Yang Yang was practicing hard in retreat, several short videos about him playing football in middle school have aroused more and more repercussions on the domestic Internet, and even many football professionals have expressed their opinions.
Since Yang Yang performed well in the Champions League and Toulon Cup, and decided to represent the national team in the local Asian Cup, how to use him has become a problem for national team coaches such as Alihan.
In the past, the national team has been playing 442, and the full-back position has not been able to fully play Yang Yang's threat, but if Yang Yang is pushed to the front line like the national youth team, this is of course okay, after all, it is well known that the national football team is weak now.
Although Hao Dong is old and strong, but in the end, his age and state have been unstable, Li Jinyu and Li Yi are in the age of playing, but the goal efficiency is never satisfactory, so Alihan recruited the 20-year-old Zhang Shuo.
Although Li Jinyu doesn't score many goals, he is good at tandem and intersperse, and has always been the main force of the national team, and the other forward partner is Hao Dong and Li Yi.
And he is only seventeen years old, even if he is calculated according to the age in China, he is only eighteen years old, and he is far from the time to be alone.
But after watching the video clip of Yang Yang playing football, whether it is fans, media reporters, or professionals, they are all amazed by Yang Yang's passing ideas and vision, and they find that Yang Yang's passing ball is quite threatening and thoughtful many times.
"The passing footwork is still lacking, and the consistency is a little lacking, but the creativity and passing vision are rare among domestic players."
This is the comment of a football veteran in an interview with a media reporter on the Internet.
Soon, the network was frying.
Many people have called for Yang Yang to play the front line, then let him play the core of the midfield.
"In fact, judging from the performance of the Toulon Cup, Yang Yang is indeed very good, and his passing is also quite threatening, with four goals and four assists, which are enough to prove his strength."
A football professional commented, "Of course, it depends on how Alihan positions him, as a wide attacker? Striker killer? Or is it the playmaking core of the midfield? It depends on the positioning of the coaching staff. ”
But no matter what, before anyone reported to the national team, Yang Yang's position has become a hot topic among netizens.
…………
…………
At the end of June, Yang Yang finally received a call from Leader Zhu of the national team.
On the 30th, he appeared at the capital airport on time, and flew from Beijing to the mountain city of Chongqing with the national team coach Alihan and many international players including Shao Jiayi, and officially started the training camp before the Asian Cup.
Due to the flight, the national team coaching staff, staff and many international players basically took the same flight, and Alihan also took time to communicate with Yang Yang for a while on the plane, mainly talking about some of his thoughts on the current national team.
He told Yang Yang very frankly that he hoped to be able to adopt a four-three-three formation, but the international players did not have a thorough understanding of his tactical intentions at present, Yang Yang has been immersed in four-three-three in the Netherlands for a long time, and is very familiar with this set of tactics, and he hopes that Yang Yang can play a role.
Judging from the meaning revealed by Alihan, he wants to adopt a four-three-three formation, mainly to play the two side articles of Yan Song and Yang Yang, hoping to activate the team's attack power.
But only if the team's defense is stable.
He also sees this very thoroughly, the individual ability and overall technical and tactical level of the national football team are not top-notch in Asia, and there is still a gap with teams such as Japan and South Korea, and even Iran and Saudi Arabia, so they can only rely on overall and defense.
In the words of the Dutch coach, even against group stage opponents such as Bahrain, Indonesia and Qatar, he did not dare to be careless, for fear of accidentally capsizing in the gutter.
In this regard, Yang Yang also gave understanding.
To put it bluntly, what Alihan needs now is results, and he can only talk about other things if he keeps his position.
In addition to Alihan, Yang Yang also chatted with Shao Jiayi, who played in Munich, Germany, who gave Yang Yang a high evaluation, saying that the Champions League final caused a huge response in Germany, and Yang Yang's outstanding performance won glory for the Chinese.
Regarding the praise of his predecessors, Yang Yang modestly said that he was just doing his best.
Shao Jiayi expressed his hope that he would have the opportunity to move around more in the future, after all, there are indeed not many Chinese players staying abroad.

…………
The flight arrived in Chongqing at 5 p.m.
When Alihan walked out of the airport with the international players, there were a lot of media reporters and fans gathered at the scene, including many female fans, who immediately flocked to the national team as soon as they saw it come out.
What is surprising is that they are not chasing the national team coach Alihan, nor are they chasing many famous international players in the team, but they targeted the national team recruit Yang Yang, and directly met the rest of the national team.
Yang Yang was also flattered by the enthusiasm of media reporters and fans, but their favoritism made him a little embarrassed, after all, he was just a newcomer.
As for Yang Yang's extreme popularity, the coaching staff is happy to see it, and the international players have different reactions.
I finally got out of the airport, got on the bus, and went directly to the hotel to meet the international players who had stayed in the hotel earlier.
The room has already been assigned, and Yang Yang and Zheng Zhi, an international player from Shenzhen, have been assigned to the same room.
This time, the national team will stay in Chongqing for five days, play a warm-up match with Lebanon on the third day, fly to Beijing on July 4, go to the Xianghe base for closed training, fly to Hohhot on the 9th, play another game with the United Arab Emirates, and then return to Beijing.
If there is no accident, during the entire training camp and the Asian Cup, Yang Yang's roommate will be Zheng Zhi.
And listening to Zheng Zhi, Yang Yang's roommate was originally Zhou Haibin, but later Zhang Shuo joined the team, and the two used to be roommates, so it was logical to continue, so Yang Yang's roommate became Zheng Zhi.
The coaching staff's arrangement was not random, but was requested by Alihan himself.
Zheng Zhi played as a midfielder at the club and was a central midfielder, but in the national team, Alihan wanted him to play at central defence.
"The old man told me a lot about Dutch football, including the responsibilities of the central defender on the ball, I was confused, tell me, how do your team's central defenders play?"
Zheng Zhi watched Yang Yang pack up his things, the two sat together, and before they could say a few words, they talked directly about football.
The term central defender is still very unfamiliar in China, no wonder Zheng Zhi is not clear, but in the Netherlands, it is not strange at all.
Heitinga, Vermaelen, Escude and others all have strong ball ability.
For example, last season, Ajax's central defender was Heitinga, he is a very well-rounded player, he can play in midfield, right-back and central defender, he has a strong ability to take the ball and play the ball, but he is a little frizzy.
Yang Yang has heard Ronald Coman talk about this issue more than once, and he believes that the central defender is very important in the whole tactical system of Ajax, and even more and more important in Dutch football.
Heitinga, Escud and Vermaelen are not among the high defenders, and the reason why Ajax would rather risk defending high is because of the team's midfield play.
It is rare for Zheng Zhi to take the initiative to ask, and of course Yang Yang also knows everything and says everything.
And he still has a lot of videos and records on his laptop, so he combined the video and analysis materials to explain to Zheng Zhi as clearly as possible about the on-field responsibilities of the central defender who plays the ball, and how Heitinga and others play.
The materials Yang Yang had on hand were all accumulated when he was at Ajax, not even Alihan's national team, and it happened to be a counterpoint analysis, which made Zheng Zhi very useful, and many things that were originally puzzled were gradually figured out.
But if you want to play on the pitch, you have to go through the actual combat test and the cooperation of your teammates.
And after this exchange, the relationship between the two immediately became a lot closer.
…………
…………
That night, the national team organized the first dinner, and Team Leader Zhu also introduced Yang Yang to all the international players at the dinner.
The reactions of the international players to this recruit are also different, after all, everyone knows that this young man has risen too fast, and this time he is probably coming to the main position.
Who can look at their competitors without any guilt?
Of course, it is not enough to look at Yang Yang's face, everyone competes fairly, and each depends on his ability.
It was also at this dinner that Team Leader Zhu announced that the prize money for winning the Asian Cup this time would be as high as 500,000, which is the highest bonus in the history of the national team.
However, Yang Yang can see that the international players don't care about the amount of bonuses, and they all care more about the results.
Although the popularity of the national football team is sluggish in China, the Football Association is also controversial, and the league is also full of problems, but after wearing the jersey of the national team, they are not playing for the Football Association, but representing China.
It's hard to say whether the ability is strong or weak, the victory or defeat of the game, but this sense of honor is still cherished by the international players.
