"Our reporter reported that in the semi-final of the Asian Cup held at the Beijing Workers' Stadium last night, the Chinese team faced Iran, a strong team in West Asia. After nine to 10 minutes of fierce fighting, the Chinese team finally relied on Yang Yang's lore to narrowly beat Iran [-]-[-]."

"As one of the strongest teams in Asia, Iran put tremendous pressure on the Chinese team from the very beginning of the game, especially on the right side of the Iranian team, which frequently created threats, but the Chinese team took the lead in scoring the goal through aggressive counterattacks in the midfield."

"But it didn't take long for the Iranian team to equalize the score."

"After changing sides in the second half, the game just started. The main striker of the Chinese team, Hao Dong, injured his head during a scramble and was bleeding profusely. The Chinese team was forced to make substitutions and adjustments. Ali Han pushed the 17-year-old Yang Yang to the front line."

"And it was Alihan's skillful adjustment that released Yang Yang's offensive potential, which also led to this victory."

"At the critical moment, after Yang Yang pulled the ball to the side to get the ball, he passed two players of the Iranian team in a row, and finally tricked the goalkeeper into the goal with his left foot. This time it was very exciting, and it can be called a classic long-distance attack."

"After the game, the reporter interviewed Horton, the former head coach of the national team. He gave a very high evaluation of the Chinese team's performance in this game. He believed that the Chinese team's midfield and backcourt were quite perfect. The problem of weak attack that was exposed in the front line was also alleviated after Yang Yang stepped into the front line."

"Horton said that he followed the Chinese team's several games all the way. He can feel that Yang Yang is constantly improving and integrating into the team, and Ali Han is constantly giving him trust and increasing his responsibilities on the field."

"An obvious change is that Yang Yang is no longer an assaulter who sticks to the side. He has started to insert into the penalty area more actively. This has allowed him to score three goals in this Asian Cup, and he is tied with Shao Jiayi as the top scorer in the team."

"Horton believes that Yang Yang is in very good condition. His performance makes it hard to believe that he is only 17 years old. He is very stable, his basic skills are very solid, his passing and receiving are very reasonable, and he is very thoughtful. Making good use of this player will be the key to the Chinese team's victory in the final."

"Not only Horton, but Alihan also spoke highly of this game at the press conference after the game, thinking that this is an exciting game, a contest between two strong Asian teams."

"Arihan said that he did not deliberately arrange Yang Yang's game, but believed in him, gave him support and space to let him play, and Yang Yang did not live up to everyone's expectations of him. That goal showed his outstanding personal ability."

"Arihan also said that Yang Yang's role in the team is undergoing fundamental changes, and he is playing an increasingly important key role. He is already one of the most important players in the Chinese national team."

"Ivanovic, head coach of the Iranian national team, also said in an interview with reporters that he had done enough preparations for this semi-final and gave Yang Yang a lot of attention, but unfortunately, he still underestimated Yang Yang in the end."

"Ivanovic believes that Yang Yang has strong personal ability, fast speed, and sharp breakthrough with the ball. He is an impressive player and the most critical member of the Chinese team's offensive end. If Japan wants to gain something in the final, it must find a way to contain Yang Yang's performance."

"The Iranian coach has played against both China and Japan. He believes that China's two flanks are very advantageous, and the defense in the midfield is very solid, but Japan's ball-handling skills are very high, and the ability to control the rhythm of the game is very strong. The confrontation between the two teams in the final is believed to be a wonderful matchup."

At the same time as the key reports of the National TV Comprehensive Channel and News Channel, major media at home and abroad also reported the semi-finals of the Asian Cup.

Reuters published a commentary article saying that the Chinese team showed their determination in this crucial game.

"In the past, every time the Chinese team encountered pressure, their performance would be abnormal, but this time they were obviously more determined. Among them, Yang Yang's goal at a critical moment came at the right time. He brought stable expectations to the team and made everyone see hope. In the end, the Chinese team defended to the end."

The Associated Press published an article saying that Chinese football has ushered in a recovery after experiencing the pain of the World Cup. Since Ali Han became the coach of the Chinese team in [-], it has remained unbeaten in [-] international competitions. This is definitely not just luck.

"The semi-final against Iran in the Asian Cup made everyone see the strength of the team trained by Ali Han. It is not perfect, but it is impressive enough, especially the 17-year-old Yang Yang, who plays a key role."

Agence France-Presse spoke highly of the significance of this game, "In [-], the Chinese team participated in the Asian Cup for the first time; in [-], the Chinese team entered the Asian Cup final for the first time, but it was a pity that they lost to Saudi Arabia [-]-[-] in the final."

"After 20 years, the Chinese team has once again entered the Asian Cup final. At this time, the Chinese team is full of talents. The combination of old, middle and young people is very reasonable. It has not only experienced the baptism of the World Cup, but also has many overseas international players in the team. There are also players like Yang Yang who have experienced the tempering of the Champions League final."

"This is the peak moment in the history of Chinese football, and it is also the most promising moment for a breakthrough."

In addition to the three major news agencies, the domestic media and newspapers are also full of celebrations.

Fans across the country rejoiced, and the media were full of praise.

In the game against Iran, the Chinese team shot a total of [-] shots, far higher than the Iranian team's seven shots, but the conversion rate was low, with only five shots on goal, while Iran had two shots on goal.

Judging from the scene, the Chinese team as a whole is not inferior to Iran. The two teams played evenly. Many football professionals have said that this is the adjustment of Alihan's tactical thinking.

"The opponent in the final, Japan, likes to control the ball, and the Chinese team should actively use their advantage of pressing and pressing in the midfield, and seek opportunities for a quick counterattack in the midfield by suppressing the opponent's midfield."

"More importantly, Japan's main player Yasuhito Endo will miss the final, while all Chinese players will be absent except for Hao Dong's head injury."

At the same time, more people in the domestic football circle said that the biggest achievement of Ali Han's team in the Asian Cup is not the results, but a rising talent star Yang Yang and the core midfielder Shao Jiayi.

"But more importantly, our team finally played a resolute and bold momentum. In the game against Iran, we advanced and retreated with certainty. We dared to press boldly and were willing to retreat. This reflects that the mental outlook of our team is quietly changing."

…………

In the case of optimistic public opinion at home and abroad, it is not without voices of doubt.

Korean team coach Bonfrere predicted before the game that China would lose to Iran, but in the end the Chinese team eliminated their opponents [-]-[-] to advance. Bonfrere said after the game that the Chinese team was lucky to win, and Yang Yang's personal performance changed the situation of the game.

"But when they met Japan in the final, the Chinese team had no chance."

Japanese coach Zico said in an interview with the media that although many overseas stars are absent, Japan is still the strongest team in Asia. "Even if we have a substitute lineup, we are enough to beat the Chinese team in the final to win the championship."

Japanese midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura said that the Chinese team eliminated Iran and entered the final, which is the best news for Japan.

"Compared with the mighty Iran, we prefer to play against the Chinese team, and we will win the Asian Cup for the third time."

Japanese captain Tsuneyasu Miyamoto believes that it is not easy for Japan to reach the finals all the way. The players are very united and every game is very difficult. But being able to enter the finals, every player in the team has gained confidence.

"We want to be able to play fairly and win trophies."

As for Tsuneyasu Miyamoto's remarks, Chinese fans ridiculed one after another. The knockout round of the quarterfinals is really fair to Jordan!

Yang Yang and the players of the national team did not participate in the disturbance from the outside world.

During a phone call, Wei Zheng mentioned that many domestic companies and brands wanted to endorse Yang Yang, but Yang Yang didn't take these matters to heart and handed them all over to Wei Zheng. He wholeheartedly prepared for the finals.

On the contrary, it was from Europe. Raiola called and told him that Nike had rejoined the negotiation of Yang Yang's personal sponsorship.

"Didn't I tell you before? Adidas is only willing to give a sponsorship fee of 30 euros at most, and a maximum of 50 euros in three years, but this time, they have met their opponents."

On the other side of the phone, the Italian fat man who made the Ajax negotiating team gnash their teeth with hatred was grinning from ear to ear. His voice gave off a sense of health.

"You performed so well in the Toulon Cup and the Asian Cup. I have clearly told the representative of Adidas that it is no longer a matter of 50 euros. You must know that behind you is the Chinese market of more than one billion, which is becoming the most important new market for Adidas and Nike."

"I've done some research. Since [-], Yao Juren, a Chinese NBA player previously sponsored by Nike, has switched to Reebok. Both Nike and Adidas are short of influential athletes in China, and you will be their favorite."

Speaking of this, Raiola laughed very badly on the phone again.

"In short, don't worry, play well in the Asian Cup final, and it is best to kill Japan. I promise to help you negotiate the next super heavy contract after the Asian Cup. This time, whether it is Nike or Adidas, I must make them bleed."

Raiola's resentment comes from the recent negotiations with Adidas to sponsor Ibrahimovic. The Swedish center's boot sponsorship is only 50 euros, which is far lower than Raiola's expected 100 million euros. The players and agents are not very happy.

But Yang Yang is different. Behind Yang Yang is the huge Chinese market. It is impossible for anyone who wants to sign him not to vomit blood.

Yang Yang has no objection, he doesn't understand this kind of thing, it's best to leave it to Raiola.

Anyway, the fat man in Italy has a commission, so Yang Yang didn't believe that he would release the water secretly.

Besides, whether to sign or not, is it still in your own hands in the end?
