Super Storm

"It's hard!"

When Yang Yang walked out of the Kuwait airport, he found that the national team leader Zhu personally picked him up at the airport.

"It's okay, I fell asleep all the way." Yang Yang chuckled.

For others, long journeys are indeed a big problem, especially jet lag, but for Yang Yang, this is not a problem, because he can sleep directly, woke up with energy and full of energy.

But his reaction made Team Leader Zhu more ashamed and self-blamed. Instead, he felt that Yang Yang was deliberately comforting them.

In the end, it was their job failure with the Football Association, which led Yang Yang to rush.

After getting out of the airport, I took the shuttle bus arranged by the hotel and returned to the hotel.

In the car, Team Leader Zhu told Yang Yang that Ali Han was extremely dependent on him. Hearing that he could catch up, he immediately placed him on the 18-man roster, and everyone in the team did not object to it.

"Seriously, everyone came here to win, and I heard that you are coming, everyone is more confident."

Yang Yang smiled modestly, "Hopefully I can help."

"Yes, you can." Leader Zhu is very sure. "You can come here, which is the biggest help in itself."

Sometimes it ’s really strange to think about it.

Yang Yang is the youngest player on the team, but he is the best player in the national team.

In the Asian Cup, everyone didn't feel it, but when playing Malaysia later, everyone found out that the team had played so hard without Yang Yang.

"Now, I believe you know the situation in China. It's complicated. It's hard to tell what is going on, but one thing is for sure, that is everyone's starting point is to hope that Chinese football can go out of Asia and enter the World Cup again. . "

Leader Zhu was obviously worried about Yang Yang's feelings and ideas, so he actively persuaded.

"Maybe we have differences and misunderstandings in specific things, or some things, and even made mistakes, but because we had no experience before, just like the last time we played in the World Cup, we were unprepared and did not know how to prepare for the battle. , That was our first time. "

Yang Yang nodded, "I can understand."

"The more it is at a critical moment, the more you need to play the role of the international players who stay abroad, stabilize the military heart, and keep this last hope." Leader Zhu said sincerely and sincerely.

"You know, we have experienced too many setbacks, we have gone through too many injustices, so that our media do not believe that we can succeed, our fans all doubt that they are dreaming, even our The players do n’t know how to treat everything right now. "

Yang Yang understood the meaning of Team Leader Zhu. After thinking about it, he said lightly, "Then don't ignore the others. Although the fog covers the distance, and you can't see the direction and the road, then concentrate on grasping your eyes and playing every game. game."

"Yeah." Team Leader Zhu sighed with mixed tastes. "Who knows what it will look like in the future? Many things are not something we can control at all. The only thing we can do is try to play every game well and strive for continuity. The 2002 World Cup performance rushed into the World Cup again. "

"I really think that, with normal play, we definitely have this strength." Yang Yang said.

Leader Zhu nodded his approval, "but the fortress always starts to split from the inside, especially now that the public opinion environment is very unfavorable to the national team, but the more this time, the more we must persevere."

Yang Yang remembered what some domestic media reporters shouted. Chinese football is not worthy of winning. The slogans of Longsheng and Fengfengshengfeng are disgusting to think about. Their faces are too ugly and ugly.

In Yang Yang's view, these media reporters are worse than Chinese football, rotten to the bones, rotten to the soul.

"Relax, I will do my best to prevent some people from doing what they want," Yang Yang said firmly.

…………

When Yang Yang arrived at the Sheraton Hotel where the national team stayed, many internationals ran over to see him.

This time, the national team has packed three floors from seventeen to nineteen, which happens to be the highest three floors of the hotel. This is also to avoid outside disturbance.

Since Yang Yang ’s former roommate Zheng Zhi did not participate in this western expedition due to injury, Yang Yang was arranged to a separate room, most of the internationals just came to say hello and greet a few words.

Yang Yang also asked about Li Weifeng's injury with concern. The captain of the national team said that he did not cause any problems and could cope with the game.

Later, Ali Han also visited Yang Yang.

After the head coach of the national team arrived, Yang Yang also felt the atmosphere change. Obviously, many contradictions within the team have also been exposed, such as the position of Sun Jihai, as well as the contradiction between Arihan and the Chinese coaching staff.

In Yang Yang's view, this is also quite normal. No team can be a monolithic one. The key is to look at how to deal with it.

Ali Han was very happy when he saw Yang Yang, and asked him about some of his situation, and how he was at the moment.

Yang Yang answered one by one, and said that he was in very good condition, and there was no problem.

Of course, Alihan would not believe that anyone could travel thousands of kilometers and take an airplane for more than 20 hours. How could it be in a state of explosion?

"You need to substitute for this game, I will use you in the second half." Arihan said his arrangements and also showed a rare Dutch humor. "Of course, I hope you will sit in this game for the whole game. Bench. "

Yang Yang could understand what he meant, and smiled: "I also hope I don't have to play."

That means that the team won Kuwait in a frightful way.

If that's the case, Yang Yang would be happy to sit on the bench for 90 minutes.

But actually ...

…………

…………

On the evening of October 13, the Kuwait City Peace Friendship Stadium.

In the fifth round of Group D of the Asian World Cup qualifying round, China challenged Kuwait away.

When the game reached the fifty-fourth minute of the second half, Shao Jiayi intercepted the ball in the midfield and Kuwait quickly counterattacked on the right.

In the case of being far away from the opponent, Sun Xiang suddenly made an absurd sliding tackle action. Instead of shoveling the ball, he was easily broken by the opponent, and a very strange arc came from the bottom line to the bottom line. Passing the ball, through the goalkeeper Liu Yunfei and the defense of the back line.

At the front of the small penalty area, Bashar headed back and Zhu Ma caught up with a direct shot, piercing the goal of the Chinese team.

At this moment, the entire stadium was frying.

Kuwaiti fans cheered and cheered.

This goal allowed them to finally tie the Chinese team and rely on the goal difference to take advantage.

The Chinese players on the field were hit hard, and they all showed incredible looks and seemed overwhelmed.

…………

…………

All of this happened in Kuwait, which was clearly included in the live broadcast of the game, and was presented on the domestic live broadcast of national TV. Even the game commentators were very depressed and said that this ball hit the team very badly. Big.

"It should be said that this is the deadlock of Chinese football all the time, every time we have problems at a critical moment."

"Tonight, we can advance to the quarterfinals as long as we tie, but we made another mistake."

"One team after another has brought us painful memories and disasters, which makes us have to reflect again and again, whether our team's strength is only to this extent, or other reasons What about? "

"Before this game, we had an interview with the national team coach Ali Han. He made no secret that there are two very serious problems with Chinese players. One is that the understanding of football is not deep enough. The lack of tactical literacy is not only reflected in the existing players, but also in the way we train players. "

"Another point is that the psychological quality of the players is not hard enough, so that at every critical moment, they carry a heavy psychological burden."

"Alihan is not the first head coach to ask this question, but he has never been able to find an effective solution."

"Our players are too slow to enter the game and lack a unified mindset. Only when we are forced to retreat by our opponents will everyone reunite, but not every game we have the strength to equalize and reverse of."

"During the Asian Cup, we once thought that the team had gone out of trouble and found a solution to the problem, but unexpectedly, after playing Malaysia and Kuwait tonight, this situation happened again."

"The whole team played unruly in the first half and was suppressed by Kuwait. The team did not have a unified game idea, which led to the team playing very loosely and without the integrity of the Asian Cup."

"There is no doubt that the head coach Ali Han should be responsible for this."

…………

…………

Yang Yang sat on the bench of the visiting team and watched the game silently.

He found that after losing the ball, the Chinese players on the field unified their thinking and began to want to fight back.

Alihan's tactics in this game are defensive counterattacks, because the Chinese team has a psychological advantage and a draw is acceptable, but Kuwait is not. They must press out and play.

However, it is clear that Alihan did not let all players understand his intentions and ideas, which caused some players to think he wanted to attack, but some players thought he wanted to defend.

Eleven people on the field have eleven ideas, no matter how strong the team can play.

Without saying that, the head coach must bear the blame for this.

In addition, the status of many players is really not exciting enough. On the one hand, it is related to the absence of Zheng Zhi. After all, Zheng Zhi as a ball defender has a very obvious role in the midfield and backcourt.

The absence of Zheng Zhi made Shao Jiayi a bit solitary in midfield, failing to continue the outstanding performance in the Asian Cup.

Yan Song also took the bench in this game, with Xu Yunlong on the right and Yang Pu on the left.

In this game, left-wing forward Yang Pu and left-back Sun Xiang played a bit abnormal.

Of course, this has something to do with Kuwait's right attack, that is, the main attack on the Chinese team's left.

On the contrary, it was Kuwait ’s left side, that is, the Chinese team ’s right side. There was no threat in this game. This should not be the case. According to Yang Yang, Xu Yunlong was injured.

In addition, Hao Dong and Li Jinyu on the front line, Li Weifeng and Zhang Yaokun on the back line, these players are obviously in poor condition, and even goalkeeper Liu Yunfei has made several undesirable mistakes.

It can be said that the mentality of the national football players in this game is indeed a bit unbalanced, otherwise it will not be all unsatisfactory.

When everyone was in a hurry, Aihan and Deyang whispered for a while.

De Yang immediately turned around and shouted towards Yang Yang.

"Yang, quick, warm up!"
