It has been six and a half years since Ye Yifeng first played for the national team in early 2015.

Overall, he lived up to the expectations of the fans and wore the captain's armband as expected.

Although the leader is not in the country most of the time, he is often absent from the national team.

But he has always been the spiritual pillar of the national team.

Players with a sunny heart will aim for him.

When the performance is bad, whether it is a player or a fan, there will inevitably be a layer of protection in their hearts: wait for Ye Shen to come back!

Ye Yifeng re-entered the national team after two and a half years and saw the earth-shaking changes in the team.

It can be said that he is for his own selfish desires, or it can be said that he simply expects the national football team to show the strongest combat power.

There are too many problems that can be solved with enough action and execution to think of the answers.

It's like everyone knows the right answer to football, but it's not so easy to write it down when you put pen to paper.

Ye Yifeng never had the luxury of changing others.

When he sat opposite Wang Dalei, who was 3 years older than him, and had dinner together, he told Wang Dalei in an understatement how he felt about coming to the national team this time.

"I've been abroad for a long time, I don't know the situation in China, and I don't have any contact with many teammates on weekdays, and I am very unfamiliar with each other, in fact, I am the same with you."

"There is no salary when you come to the national team, only every game is like being tested by all the fans, and if you perform well, they will give you applause and praise.

When the performance was not good, the eighteen generations of the ancestors were implicated by themselves and were criticized by themselves. ”

"But this is the path that players are destined to take, outsiders say that football is barbaric, vulgar, and even ugly, but we all know that players scold their mothers on the field, humiliate their opponents, and violently violate their opponents, which is a common phenomenon, and the fans scold us a few words, so what? If it's really a glass heart, you can't survive on the court at all. ”

"But even if we are used to criticism, we have to be worthy of the jersey on our body, to put it mildly, perform well, the national team does not pay salaries, but there are always other ways to make more money, the club raise, a small advertisement, all in exchange for performance."

Wang Dalei is obviously older than Ye Yifeng, and he has played for the national team for a longer time.

But now I feel a lot of pressure when I listen quietly.

He vaguely guessed Ye Yifeng's purpose.

"To be honest, maybe the outside world will rank you, Yan Junling, and Liu Dianzuo, who is stronger and who is better, which may also be the reason why you failed to play the main force.

But in my eyes, looking at the super, you can distinguish a high and low, and there is a certain value in ranking high and low.

But if you look at Asia, you have a global outlook.

Well, you are actually pretty much the same, you are all in a range, who is high and who is low, who is strong and who is weak, standing in a higher place to judge, there is no point in even examining.

Some balls, you will lose, and you can't save them by changing them.

But you have one thing that I think is merit, experience and temperament. ”

Wang Dalei nodded slightly.

Even if he left the impression of being frivolous to the outside world when he was young, he still has capital, after all, he went to Inter Milan for a trial.

Well, now, I've long since figured it out.

No matter how crazy he is, he has to play a good role as a kindergarten child in front of Ye Yifeng.

"It's a cliché to talk about the weak team going out, but expecting the Chinese team to come up with a door god who can be a man with technical strength against the sky, I don't think I should see it in my life.

Yan Junling may be better than you, but I think he lacks two points, which is fatal to us.

First of all, the first point is that his big foot tee shot is flawed.

Secondly, there is a lack of presence in front of the door.

Our restructured defence is inconsistent, and I think it takes a goalkeeper to be able to yell at them and command them to be bold and aggressive.

I'm speaking more bluntly, but that's one of the reasons why we were able to qualify for the last World Cup and qualify for the group stage of the finals.

At the same time, it is also the experience I have gained in foreign countries over the years.

People are always looking at teams with a flashy style, but in fact, the overall results are the more pragmatic and ferocious teams.

If you have faith in yourself, you are willing to play that role, not just as a goalkeeper, but also to put pressure on the defence at all times, to make them fight like beasts.

Then I can go and talk to Lippi, you are the main goalkeeper of the Chinese team. ”

Wang Dalei, who has always been a marginal person in the national team all these years, suddenly nodded solemnly, and said to Ye Yifeng without a moment's hesitation: "Team Ye, I will try my best to do my best!" ”

Ye Yifeng nodded slightly, and then went to find Lippi after eating.

His communication with Lippi ended quickly.

There is not the slightest controversy, Ye Yifeng is on the matter, and he can see the performance against the Australian defense, and it will not be a bad thing for the Chinese team to have a goalkeeper who dares to command the team.

Lippi agreed to try Wang Dalei.

Ye Yifeng can think of recommending Wang Dalei as the main goalkeeper, mainly because even if he sits in the back, he is not a full-time defensive back.

Others are in the backfield, but their eyes are always on the front.

There will also be things to worry about behind him, especially in the last game when he helped defend the wing, but there was an accident on the other side, he was just one person after all.

Leave the work behind him to Wang Dalei, if there is anything that needs to be communicated, it is more efficient for him to find Wang Dalei directly.

He can't explain everything to every teammate behind him.

Doing so will only exhaust you and will not be effective.

The Chinese team recuperated for three days, and then ushered in a crucial battle with the Japanese team.

In the top 12 group, in the group of the Chinese team, Oman, Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia are ranked lower.

Thanks to China's performance in the World Cup in the past few years and the Asian Cup, the Chinese team is currently second only to Japan.

But rankings don't mean anything at the moment.

If they want to qualify directly for the World Cup, Japan and Australia are their direct competitors.

has not been able to win Australia, if it doesn't win against Japan, will the Chinese team go to the play-offs?

Khalifa International Stadium, night.

The Chinese team and the Japanese team met in a narrow way.

Ye Yifeng looked at the lineup of the Japanese team, and the strongest team in Asia is also steadily changing, which is really enviable.

Basically, the new faces are younger than Ye Yifeng, and they have not pulled out the seedlings, they are basically at the age when they are about to enter the golden peak, if everything goes well, they will naturally be in the year of play when the World Cup arrives in a year and a half.

The Chinese team's starting point today is still 4231.

Goalkeeper: Wang Dalei.

Defenders: Zhang Linpeng, Jiang Guangtai, Li Ang, Wang Shenchao.

Midfielders: Wu Lei, Wu Xi, Ye Yifeng, Jin Jingdao, Luo Guofu.

Striker: Alain.

In the last game, Ackerson played the whole game, physical fitness is a test, plus the Chinese team will be more resolute in defending and counterattacking in this game, and Alan is more suitable than Ackerson.

Japan started 433.

Goalkeeper: Shuichi Gonda.

Defenders: Nari Muroya, Kenhiro Fukuyasu, Maya Yoshida, Yuto Nagatomo.

Midfielders: Junya Ito, Hang Endo, Takeshi Shibasaki.

Forwards: Tsuyogo Furuhashi, Hidei Hisashi, Yuya Osako.

Japanese coach Hoichi Moriyasu stood on the sidelines and sank like water, without any ease.

The Japanese team is the strongest in Asia, and there is no country in Asia that does not recognize this, which is the overall strength of Japanese football.

But it doesn't mean that the Japanese team is invincible, at the same time that the Chinese team drew with Australia, the Japanese team was upset by the Oman team!

Football, anything is possible.

Therefore, the pressure on Mori Boichi is also very high, and even the Japanese media claim that if he can't lead the team to win the Chinese team, then he will be dismissed before returning to Japan!

As soon as the game began, the Japanese team immediately launched an offensive organization.

One kick out of the ball, interspersed with running, the team with mercury to the ground.

The midfield and backfield of the Chinese team consciously entered the state of retreat defense.

But Ye Yifeng suddenly widened his eyes and watched with some consternation as Alan and Luo Guofu rushed to the front court and actively counter-robbed.

He hurriedly shouted to the two of them!

Because both of them are Brazilian, Ye Yifeng can only shout to the two in Portuguese on the field!

There were no fans at the scene, and everyone could hear Ye Yifeng's shouting in Portuguese.

It makes everyone feel weird.

In Asia, Portuguese appears!

The Japanese don't understand.

The Chinese don't understand it either!

Alan and Luo Guofu both understood, and Ackerson on the bench could also understand.

What Ye Yifeng said was also very simple.

Withdraw it!

Pressing in the backcourt!

Counterattack to cross the halfway line!

It's good that the two of them have enough hard work.

But you can't kick it around.

The majority of the troops are in the backfield, and the two go to the front court to fight back, and they are positive, but it is no different from giving away people's heads.

The Japanese team's passing control is a bit of a dog walk.

Don't talk about the two of them, I'm afraid that even if Ye Yifeng and Wu Lei are added together, most of them will be walked half to death.

Alan and Luo Guofu obediently retreated.

Ye Yifeng gave up.

Riding a horse, being the captain of the national football team this year is really a technical job.

If you don't master a few foreign languages, I'm afraid you won't even be able to command your teammates!

The Japanese team's strong attack in the front court is still impressive, and Ye Yifeng sits in the middle and constantly commands Wu Xi and Jin Jingdao, using them as tool man cannon fodder.

Goalkeeper Wang Dalei was also positive, and he could be heard dictating to the two full-backs almost every time Japan attacked.

Although the Chinese team is passive, the enthusiasm on the field is not lagging behind the opponent.

Japan had two shots in a row.

The Chinese team's counterattack also gradually unfolded.

As the old rival of the Japanese team, when Ye Yifeng controlled the ball in the middle of the backfield, the midfield of the Japanese team also followed the idea of many European teams to mark Ye Yifeng.

Surround but not grab, focus on blocking his forward line.

Ye Yifeng shot the ball to the left and right wings to see the effect first.

Wu Lei and Luo Guofu teamed up with Alan to play a slightly rusty cooperation.

The tacit understanding is seriously insufficient.

They had too little time to prepare.

And the Japanese team is also very decisive in defense.

After all, Kenhiro Fukuyasu and Maya Yoshida are both defenders of the English Super League, how can it be so easy to break through the defense of the two of them?

With the development of the game, Ye Yifeng felt more and more that the Japanese team began to look a little like Manchester City!

No. 1 in Asia.

The passing and cutting cooperation is also impressive.

But the ability to take chances in front of goal is a bit touching.

What he didn't know was that the Japanese football community lamented the most in the past two years was: If only we had Ye Yifeng!

If there is Ye Yifeng, they really dare to dream of winning the World Cup!
