Chinese Raul obviously has his follow-up plan, so he also sent Zhao Yaning back to China early: he still has follow-up means to do in this matter, so it may be a good thing to let Zhao Yaning return to China as soon as possible and not let him show up.

After returning to China, Zhao Yaning watched the Champions League final in front of the TV. Obviously, the cold rain in Moscow helped Manchester United a lot, as an English team accustomed to playing in the rain, Manchester United played significantly better in the game, although Mourinho tried to rely on the defense to fight for a victory, but the difference in quality between the two sides was too large, and Lyon still lost the game.

The score of 0-2 is not huge, but it is enough to decide the winner. Manchester United won the Champions League again, and after nine years, Manchester United won the double again. And Mourinho once again swallowed the bitter fruit of the Champions League runner-up, and his fate is like this, he can be regarded as quite unlucky.

After this game, the 07-08 season is over. Zhao Yaning only won one La Liga championship, although it is said to be a La Liga championship that has set a lot of records, but this season is still a little regrettable after all.

At this time, he also returned to the national team and continued to play the remaining four games.

"I think it's better to watch the game from the bench as much as you can, if possible." For these games, before they started, Coach Gao and Zhao Yaning put forward ideas, "You don't need to prove anything in the national team, but I have to hone my strength." The opponents in our group are not very strong, Oman, Bahrain, Thailand, these teams, we can win without you playing. So, take a look on the pitch, it's better for our team, after all, we can't always count on you. ”

Although it is said that basically the important games are now handed over to Zhao Yaning to complete the ball, Zhao Yaning also understands Coach Gao's thoughts: he is a coach after all, not Zhao Yaning's personal nanny, and always gives everything to Zhao Yaning. He was obviously not satisfied with this, so he still put forward his own request and let Zhao Yaning rest off the court and watch the game on the field.

Zhao Yaning somewhat understands that he is afraid that the team will suffer from player dependence: Zhao Yaning's ability is too strong, and there are two ways to play without him. And Zhao Yaning can't come back for any game, if he doesn't come back, there will be no way for the game to go on normally, then the national team coach will be too much of a failure.

Coach Gao obviously didn't want to be such a failed coach.

Zhao Yaning did not object to this. It's a good thing that the coach has his own ideas, and even though he doesn't play, he still sits on the sidelines, and if there's a problem, he can change it at any time. The opponent is not a strong team, and he plays a lot more relaxed. This season, he has become accustomed to playing against weak teams anyway, and he doesn't care about playing anymore.

Anyway, in the later group stage, when he really met Japan, South Korea, and Shaao, Zhao Yaning still had to appear to decide the outcome of the game. In the current competition, it is not bad to give them training and training, and let Coach Gao practice his hands.

Of course, this does not mean that Zhao Yaning is useless, after all, when he is on the sidelines, no one dares to be lazy, and no one dares to play well. In the national team, his status as a ball bully is still of great significance.

At the same time, Coach Gao also half-jokingly said that there is a Zhao Yaning in the team, even if he sits on the bench, it is enough to make the opponent's heart beat and he can't control himself.

And in these few games, the play was not shocking. First defeated Oman at home, then drew with Oman away, and then, in the next two games, Coach Gao also implemented rotation, but it was still a draw against Bahrain, and then defeated Thailand in the last game, the Chinese team won four games and drew two in six games, and played quite well.

In four games, Zhao Yaning came on as a substitute twice, both of which were draws. However, Zhao Yaning himself doesn't care much about this problem. It would be nice to be able to win the final group stage and qualify, and don't care so much about the rest.

"That is, the first stage of the group stage, nothing too difficult." In this regard, Coach Gao understands that the first stage of the group stage, which is equivalent to the top 20 in the past, is indeed not difficult. Later, the second stage, that is, the top 10 matches, is the trouble that the national team really can't deal with. At that time, Zhao Yaning had to return to China to participate in the competition in order to let the team pass.

"It's not difficult, but it's enough to see the level. To be honest, the level of our national team has been declining, but it is really not easy to maintain combat effectiveness now. ”

Others dare not say these words, but Zhao Yaning dares to say them. Anyway, he is the boss of the national team, and no one dares to refute him when he says this.

However, his words do make sense: the strongest time of the Chinese national team was in 97, but at that time, it was impossible to succeed by playing a mess. At the turn of the century, Milu led the team, and although the strength declined, it successfully kneaded the whole and achieved results. The whole team of the Alihan period is still there, although a few people are looking for trouble, but the results are still there, but since 04 years, the strength of the Chinese team has begun to decline.

However, at this time, relying on Zhao Yaning's birth, his enthusiasm for the national team's attitude towards the national team's games and enthusiasm for the national team have made the national team's results improve slightly.

The current national team, in terms of absolute strength, is not as good as before. But now the national team, no one dares to come nonsense, no one dares to take the lead, the coach's orders can be implemented, and the play is becoming more and more like a team, rather than a mess.

This is enough for Zhao Yaning. He didn't ask for much, it was enough to keep the team in this state.

After the national team competition, Zhao Yaning entered the holiday. It stands to reason that there were no major tournaments for the national team this year, and it should be time for him to rest. And Zhao Yaning at this time, at the end of the world preliminaries, it is rare to calm down, in the past few years, almost every year there are summer games to play, therefore, he is also quite tired, but this year finally there is no competition, it can be regarded as a vacation for him. At this time, the European Cup competition also started, and he ran to his football school, followed a group of children, explaining the situation of the various teams in the European Cup.

"In my opinion, the most promising ones should be Spain and the Netherlands. Spain's possession tactics and the Netherlands' fast-break tactics are quite distinctive, and they both seem to be very good teams. Aragonés' biggest problem is that he didn't bring Raul with him, and he didn't know if Cassie would be able to maintain the unity of the team, which was not an easy job after all. If they can sustain it, they have a lot of hope. On the Dutch side, Van Basten is indeed a great football genius, and the Netherlands under his rule is a lot more ugly, but it is indeed a lot more concise and efficient, and it is really powerful. Zhao Yaning also directly said his opinion when facing the children, "It's just that Spain is not very lucky and met Italy." Italy is a team that is really hard to estimate. They always look like that, they don't look hopeful to fight anyone, but whoever plays against them also looks hopeless, it's hard to tell if they are a strong team, Spain met them, the historical record is not superior, who knows how this time will be. ”

The match went much as he expected. The Netherlands and Spain were indeed very good teams. It's just that his unexpected upset also happened. One is that Italy dragged Spain to a penalty shootout, and it was only by penalty shootout that Spain narrowly beat Italy. The other is that Russia played well, and even made it all the way to the final four.

Zhao Yaning saw the strength of Spain and the Netherlands, but did not expect the sudden rise of Russia's Arshavin and Germany's still strong team football. He thought that without Klinsmann, German football would decline, which he expected wrongly, and it was also unexpected that Russia could be brought to this point by Hiddink.

What surprised him even more was the talent pool of those football powerhouses. He knows that Spain has a lot of talent, and in Italy, Chiellini also played an extremely amazing world-class performance, and even made people feel that they did not lose to Nesta. And Germany, the Netherlands, France, each team has new blood in the team, and they all play well.

This is what makes Zhao Yaning really envious. Because I know, there is no new blood in China. Why does he know? Because he's going to play in the Olympics.

It's really a game that doesn't have much fun – at least in Zhao's opinion. Although he is very happy to play for his country, he really doesn't think it's interesting to play the Olympics like this.

He had already participated once four years ago, so why would he continue to participate four years later?

"I really hope now that the Organising Committee's move to ban overage players from competition is real." In this regard, Zhao Yaning also had to complain a few words. But he also knew it couldn't be. As one of the three overage players selected by the Chinese team, he must participate in this game - the other two are Li Datou and Zheng Zhi, these three people are one of the few players in China who can handle it.

However, after training with the team for a day, Zhao Yaning became a little hairy.

"I remember a few years ago, they were able to play on a par with Germany, why now, none of them can play?" In this regard, Zhao Yaning asked a little puzzled, "The strength has declined a lot, but why has it declined so quickly?" The country says that it attaches great importance to the Olympics, why can't it take care of these bastards? ”

"Originally, it was the age of overage players, and when they were young, they still had some effect on changing their age, and when they got older, the role was naturally getting smaller and smaller. At this age, there is not much difference, and the strength of this group of people is too weak, if you want me to say, you are all redundant to come back, directly in Madrid to cheat and hurt, and go on vacation over there, why come back to this troubled water. ”

Zhao Yaning shook his head and ignored Zhang Yuan's statement. He does know that it will be difficult to win the title...... Well, China's grouping is not very good, and it will be difficult for Brazil to qualify from the group stage, but even so, he still feels that he should not run away from it.

"I didn't come here to win the championship...... Originally, it was just about participation. ”

Zhao Yaning's statement, Zhang Yuan can't object. He knew that Zhao Yaning didn't want to deliberately run away because he couldn't win the game, after all, it would leave a bad impact on others. He's still happy to come back and help his team-mates play and give them a good image.

However, this is a big problem for his image in public. Zhang Yuan has always had a headache, after losing the Olympic Games, Zhao Yaning, as the most important person in the team, how to get rid of responsibility.

However, he also knows that no matter how to get rid of it, this is also the responsibility that Zhao Yaning must bear. Whether it is the national Olympic team or the national team, it has long been on Zhao Yaning's shoulders. Zhao Yaning is not unaware of the weakness of the national team, he did not escape, did not retreat, and took responsibility - only people like him can encourage more people to continue to work hard for the football of this country.
