Section 60 The debut of the national football team
The Sino-Korean confrontation match in Seoul can be said to be extremely boring from head to toe.
Zhao Yaning sat on the field and did not get any chance to play. He understands the coach's approach very well, the national team has been running in for a long time, and he is just a newcomer, the big game is coming, the coach does not have the heart to hone the new players, after all, the results of the game are the most important.
Therefore, although the coach boasted of his talent and ability in front of the media, and handed him the No. 7 jersey of the national team, in the end, he was mercilessly pressed on the bench.
And this game ended 0-0 in the end. Both sides are in the middle of a big game, no one is in the mood to play seriously, each other is playing cautiously and carefully, for fear of injury, such a game, naturally ended in a harmonious ending, which is an acceptable ending for both sides.
It's just that such a game has made the Chinese media noisy mess. China and South Korea have not won for 20 years, and the Chinese team, which is considered to be the strongest generation, still can't win, which is really unacceptable.
But at the same time, the Chinese media kept talking about another thing: South Korea defeated Costa Rica 2-0 a week ago, and now it is a draw with China, which shows that there is still a lot of hope for China to win over Costa Rica.
This simple mathematical logic made Zhao Yaning not know what to say. The conclusion he came to was different from that when he watched the game from the sidelines. In his opinion, although the skills of the Koreans are not very good, their physical strength and tactical execution ability are very good, and their strengths happen to be the shortcomings of Chinese players, and whether Chinese players can beat Costa Rica is really a matter of two words.
However, at this time, Zhao Yaning received a new news.
He was selected by Coach Shen of the National Olympic Team and selected for the Chinese National Olympic Team.
The foundation of the Chinese Olympic team is the national youth team, and Zhao Yaning has been selected for the national youth team before, but the national youth has not entered. Now he can be selected for the Chinese Olympic team, naturally because of his achievements abroad. But such a thing also caused another embarrassing thing: Zhao Yaning had to return to China to participate in the Asian Games in October.
However, he has nothing to complain about, he is not the only one who has been selected for the national team and the national Olympic team at the same time, Du Wei and Qu Bo are also players who have been selected for the national team and the national Olympic team at the same time. In Europe, which is regarded as the default rule, the rule that if you are selected for the national team, you will no longer be selected for the youth team, and there seems to be no recognition in China.
However, for Zhao Yaning, the Asian Games match is likely to clash with the timing of his play in Europe. If he really goes to Monaco next season, he will definitely have to work hard to get into the main list, and if he is distracted by the Asian Games, it will be difficult to balance both.
But that's all for later, Zhao Yaning knows the priorities, and it is impossible to worry about the future.
And after this game, in the match with the Thai team in Kunming, Zhao Yaning got the opportunity to play. However, it was only after 70 minutes that the team had decided to win 3-1.
Although Zhao Yaning also tried to play at a certain level after playing the game, it is a pity that he and the national team players have hardly run in, whether it is running, passing or receiving, there has been a lot of trouble, and there has been no good opportunity until the end of the game, and the performance can only be said to be average.
And Zhao Yaning himself is not very satisfied with this game, so naturally he doesn't expect the coach to be extremely satisfied with him. In the friendly match between Shenyang and Uruguay that followed, he sat down for a whole game.
The team ended up losing the friendly 0-2. However, Uruguay is a South American powerhouse no matter how you say it, and it is not a shame to lose this game.
And the next game was the match against PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie in Shanghai. The match was made possible by the sponsor of the national team, Philips, and was the only friendly match against a club in China.
Before arriving in Shanghai, Dazhen reminded Zhao Yaning in advance, "When you arrive in Shanghai, maybe the media will interview you." Be careful when you speak, don't be annoying. ”
When Zhao Yaning heard this, he was slightly puzzled, "Why did someone interview me?" Listening to this, the media still seems to have an opinion about me? ”
"It's not because you've been selected for the national team this time to knock out their people."
Da Zhen just smiled, "Shanghainese people are mean, and their speech may be ugly, so be careful yourself." ”
Zhao Yaning understood a little. He was selected for the national team this time, and he was originally regarded as the candidate who should be selected as the golden left foot of Beijing, known as one of the three young men in Beijing, or the German B half-way golden boot in Shanghai's Three Musketeers. As a result, Zhao Yaning played well this year and became famous, and at the same time, he was also favored by Wenger and others, and there were transfer rumors with Premier League giants, so they were squeezed out.
This time, the national team did not go to Beijing, I don't know what it is like in the capital, but when I arrived in Shanghai, the local football community in Shanghai must have been dissatisfied with him. It may be a lie that Shanghainese people are mean, but it is absolutely true that the Shanghai media does not like him.
Sure enough, as Dazhen expected, when he arrived in Shanghai, after the training, a reporter came to interview Zhao Yaning.
"Excuse me, how do you feel about being selected for the national team?"
"I am very happy to be selected for the national team, thank the country for nurturing me, and I am proud of this honor."
Zhao Yaning has not forgotten the most formal answer routine that Zhang Yuan instructed him, and when he spoke, he was also careful with twelve points. But even so, Zhao Yaning still saw a light flashing in the eyes of the reporter opposite.
"In other words, you yourself think you're lucky to be selected for the national team, right?" The reporter said a word, not giving Zhao Yaning a chance to refute at all, so he raised the second question, "What contribution do you think you can make to the national team's World Cup journey this time?" ”
"My main task is to learn, and it's important to learn how to play football from my seniors first."
It is still the most standard answer, but the reporter read it out loud as he wrote, "I feel that the pressure on the national team is too great, and I think I am not capable of contributing." ”
Zhao Yaning wanted to say something, but the reporter soon spoke again, "Excuse me, some people say that you don't play as well as the German league in Ligue 2, do you have a different opinion?" ”
"You're always misinterpreting me......"
"If there is no objection, I just dare to change the topic...... Do you think your Ligue 2 Rookie of the Year is a reflection of your true quality? ”
"I can't answer your question."
"I am speechless for my Best Newcomer award. Excuse me......"
"You've been misinterpreting my words all along! You did it on purpose! ”
"Bad work ethic, angry at journalists for no reason......"
"It's obvious that you deliberately provoked it!"
"Attempting to use force against journalists......"
"You ......"
Dazhen walked over from behind, covered his mouth, and promptly put an angry curse back into his mouth.
"It's hard work, don't worry about being like a child." Dazhen whispered a few words to the reporter in the past, sent the reporter away, and turned around, "See how powerful the domestic reporter is?" ”
"What kind of journalists are they? Their words are all misinterpretations! ”
"Then you go and sue him, he's barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, can you? Do you still have a reputation for a lawsuit with a reporter? Dazhen patted him, "The reason why he told you to your face wasn't to provoke your anger?" Ignore him, learn, there's more to learn. ”
Are these things really useful when learned?
Looking at the sullen Zhao Yaning, Da Zhenle slapped him happily, "Don't have that expression." This kind of villain, it's useless to talk nonsense with him. If you really want to fight back against him, just speak with performance. ”
Yes. You'll see what I do.
Zhao Yaning himself did not expect that the first outstanding performance of his national team would come so quickly.
In the game against PSV Eindhoven, Zhao Yaning got the chance to play again. In the 65th minute, Zhao Yaning replaced Li Xiaoping on the opposite side, mainly on the right side, and as many as six people were replaced with him, including even the goalkeeper. Zhao Yaning understands that the head coach has begun to let the main players have a choice to save their physical strength and save strength for the World Cup.
But in this game, Zhao Yaning's mood was very different.
Although the report had changed a lot when it came out, there was still ridicule and ridicule of him in and out of the words. The reporter, whose name is Ji Yuyang, made it clear that choosing a young player to enter the national team is just an act of hype, and giving up an experienced international player for the sake of a young player is bound to cause harm to the national team. Adopting such a selection policy for such a major event is a huge responsibility for the head coach.
What he said was much cleaner - Zhang Yuan privately revealed that he stuffed a lot of money into the reporter - but the main idea was still very distrustful of Zhao Yaning.
Then show them with action.
When Zhao Yaning came on the court, he stayed in this kind of thought, I don't know why, he felt that he could play well in this game. It's one thing to play against the national team, it's another thing to play against the club. Although PSV Eindhoven is a strong team in Europe, and even defeated Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga in the 02 UEFA Cup to win the cup, they did not come with a full main lineup, otherwise they would not have only led by one goal after more than 60 minutes. Playing against them, Zhao Yaning felt that he was still confident.
And what makes him even happier is that they are all substitutes anyway, and the cooperation is definitely not good, and it is not a big deal to do more alone.
And the game was just as he thought, the ball was passed to his feet after a few passes. Zhao Yaning looked up at the position on the field, suddenly started, and rushed towards the bottom line.
So fast! That was PSV Eindhoven's first reaction at left-back Bouma.
But if it's faster, Bauma has always been fearless. He also accelerated and rushed over, not only immediately stuck in the position that could only cut inside, but also leaned towards Zhao Yaning. Bao Ma believes that as long as he leans on Zhao Yaning, he can affect the dribbling of Zhao Yaning, who is not outstanding.
But it's not that simple. At the moment when the two people met, Zhao Yaning suddenly stopped with a sharp step, and stood with his left foot, as if he was about to get up and cross. And Bao Ma really immediately flew to block his passing line, but Zhao Yaning's raised right foot suddenly retracted, kicked the ball behind his left foot, and the person also turned around, wiped past Bao Ma, and went to the middle.
Fooled. Bouma reacted immediately. But the step he took just now was already a big step in order to block, and even if it was too late to close the momentum now. He could only turn his head in vain and watch Zhao Yaning run towards the middle, a light change of direction on the way passed the central defender, and then a fierce shot.
But the ball was saved by the goalkeeper.
Zhao Yaning frowned slightly. Although there were bursts of applause around him, he was still dissatisfied that the ball was not hit.
If it weren't for his poor passing skills, he could have crossed directly with a flower arrangement. If it weren't for his poor shooting, he could have played the angle a little more tricky. If it weren't for the lack of tacit understanding between him and his teammates and the problem of running, he could have passed the ball to Dazhen next to him.
The problems that are usually covered up in the club because of the skillful cooperation are all revealed. The national team game is really not easy to play.
