Chapter 223 Mess

The flight back from Kuala Lumpur landed slowly at the Capital Airport.

When the team leader and head coach showed up with the players of the national youth team, fans and media reporters who had been waiting at the airport rushed forward one after another. The atmosphere was very warm, and many fans even brought flowers and gifts.

After an absence of 20 years, he won the Asian Youth Championship again. Domestic fans did not hesitate to give praise and applause to the players of the National Youth Team.

Yang Yang, who was selected as the best player of this year's Asian Youth Championship and the winner of the Golden Boot Award, has become the focus of all fans and media reporters. But this time, Yang Yang is responsive to fans and has a very polite attitude. However, his attitude towards media reporters is completely different, which also made many media reporters on the scene feel left out.

Not only Yang Yang, but other players of the national youth team were also very indifferent when they met the media reporters, and refused to answer any questions raised by the media reporters. This made the media reporters on the scene feel bitter, and some were even angry.

Of course, the team leader and head coach knew the reasons for the temper tantrums of the players in the team, and took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment, saying that the team had issued a gag order, and the players were not allowed to accept media interviews without permission. This was also his protection for the players.

Once the media is annoyed, God knows if there will be multiple media collectively concocting news about the national youth players playing big names after winning the championship?

Once you win the championship, people can still accuse you of playing big names. Once you perform poorly next time, no matter whether you are in the club or the national team, people will use this as an excuse to bombard you.

If the hat is put on and you want to take it off again, it will not be so easy.

Yang Yang had already asked Wei Zhen to book a flight back to Amsterdam tomorrow, and he had to go back to pack his luggage tonight, and other national youth team players were also rushing back to the club, so most of them broke up at the airport.

After leaving the airport, as soon as Yang Yang called, brothers Wei Zhen and Wei Zheng drove over to pick him up.

As soon as he got in the car, Wei Zhen mentioned that the national team had left for Kuwait ahead of schedule today.

"They departed by KLM in the morning. Since there are no direct flights to Kuwait in China, they can only go to Amsterdam first and then to Kuwait."

Yang Yang frowned slightly, but there was really nothing he could do about this objective condition.

"By the way, has the national team booked a ticket for you?" Wei Zhen asked with concern.

Yang Yang shook his head, "Last night, Ali Han and Team Leader Zhu both called, and they told me to get ready in Beijing."

"The Football Association is also in chaos recently. The strikes of the league teams, and the collective revolution of many teams have caused them to be devastated. They can't get away at all. Let alone you, they can't take care of the affairs of the national team." Wei Zhen also looked frustrated.

"What the hell are these messy bastards!"

Hearing Wei Zhen's scolding, Yang Yang couldn't help but smile wryly. It seems that there is no country in the world whose football association is not a jerk.

The difference is that the leagues in other countries have professional professional leagues to be responsible for the operation, but in China, it is the Football Association that takes care of it all.

However, Yang Yang is not interested in these matters and does not plan to participate.

Wei Zheng, who was driving beside him, took the conversation at this moment, "I have heard another piece of inside information."

"what?"

"Before, a well-known domestic media contacted me. From what they said, they revealed some news. It is said that some people in the Football Association are very dissatisfied with you."

"Dissatisfied?" Wei Zhen was a little hard to understand, "Why are you dissatisfied? Are you still dissatisfied after winning the Asian Cup and Asian Youth Championship?"

"Brother, you don't understand this. After all, it's money."

Yang Yang and Wei Zhen looked at each other, as if realizing something.

"After the Asian Cup, you signed a big contract with Nike in Europe, 300 million euros a year, which is nearly 3000 million when converted into RMB. Now your popularity in China has skyrocketed. After I got in touch with you during this period of time, I found that even some well-known domestic brands and large companies are willing to pay over [-] million yuan in endorsement fees every year. This is after our strict selection.

Speaking of this, Wei Zheng sneered twice, "Think about it, what a piece of fat this must be, but the Football Association sees it, but can't eat it, because you are not a player registered by the Football Association at all, they can't control you, they can only worry about you."

"You mean, the Football Association wants to take this opportunity to put pressure on Yang Yang?"

"There are also many people in the Football Association who really do football, but there are also some people who really have this kind of thinking."

When Wei Zhen heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Yang Yang.

Yang Yang still looked calm, and said calmly: "Nowadays, I can't believe what the domestic media say, and you don't participate too much. As for what people from the Football Association think, I don't care, but they don't expect me to give in. All in all, if I'm called up, I'll fight. If I'm not called up, then I have nothing to do."

"Well, your statement in Guangzhou was very beneficial to you. You kicked the ball to the Football Association. It's up to them whether they want to be recruited." Wei Zheng nodded. This is the best way to deal with it.

"I guess the Football Association will not dare to mess around this time. After all, in such an important game, it can only be said that their efficiency is too poor." Wei Zhen analyzed.

"How's the team doing?"

"I had a training camp with the team before, and some core players in the team secretly told me that after winning the Asian Cup, the team was filled with an overly optimistic mood. It was shown in Malaysia before. Ali Han was very dissatisfied with this. In addition, Hao Dong's condition is really not good, and the offensive power of the striker is very poor."

Yang Yang nodded, "All immature teams will be so unstable."

"More than that, the current situation in the domestic league has made the national team panic. Some business conflicts between Ali Han and the Chinese coaching staff have been hyped up and magnified by the media. There are also conflicts between the head coach and many players. During the Asian Cup, Sun Jihai's father also bombarded Ali Han. The news added to the instability in the team."

"Zheng Zhi will be suspended for this round. Ali Han attaches great importance to this. He even flew to Belgium to visit Li Weifeng, who is recovering from his injuries, and personally persuaded him to return to China. However, in the past few days, the domestic media suddenly broke out about Ali Han's money laundering scandal..."

Speaking of this, Wei Zhen also shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Yang Yang also frowned when he heard this, this is simply a mess that can't be any more stupid.

"I know Alihan. I dare not say whether he laundered money or not, but he definitely has coaching ability. He has a very clear tactical thinking and is very advanced. According to his transformation plan, he will start from the defense line first, then the midfielder, and finally the striker. The timetable of his entire plan is to complete the metabolism and transformation of the team before the World Cup."

This was mentioned in a previous conversation between Ali Han and Yang Yang. The topic of discussion at that time was which position Yang Yang should play, and Yang Yang's attitude was to obey the arrangement of the coaching staff.

Wei Zhen nodded and said: "Judging from the current situation of the national team, the team's age structure is very reasonable. The defense and midfield have also experienced the test of the Asian Cup. The problem lies in the front line, and Ali Han must have realized the importance of this game, so he did everything possible to invite Li Weifeng back, and made a special trip to the Football Association to ask for you to join the team."

"However, the Asian Cup championship blinded many people's eyes. Not only did many players in the team become blind and arrogant, but also many domestic media and even some people in the Football Association began to become unrealistic. How similar is this situation to qualifying for the World Cup?"

Yang Yang could only respond with a wry smile, he could only manage himself well, he couldn't manage other people.

There is no perfection in this world. All tactics, all players, and all coaches are a combination of strengths and weaknesses. There will be bright spots and mistakes.

Whether it is choosing a coach or choosing a player, if you choose someone's strengths, you must also tolerate this person's shortcomings.

Impossible to say, I only want your advantages, and you get rid of my shortcomings, is this realistic?

Just like Yang Yang, he still imagines Vieri's body, Bergkamp's stop, Maradona's dribbling, and Van Basten's shooting, but how is this possible?
When you have Vieri's strong body, you are destined to have Maradona's low center of gravity and light dribbling.

"I don't want to care about these things. My attitude is still very clear. As long as they are recruited, I will play. For me, this is not a game for the Football Association. It is a game for whom. It represents the honor of the country." Yang Yang said.

As for the game, he will return to Europe, domestic football matters have nothing to do with him.

…………

…………

When Yang Yang returned to Wei Zhen's house, the three members of Su Wenhong's family were already waiting.

Since it was the weekend, they didn't have to go to work or school, but they didn't go out either.

Although it was only half a month since we parted, there was still a wave of concern and courtesy. Su Xiaomei also took out several autograph books for Yang Yang to sign, saying that she was entrusted by her classmates hard, and she couldn't refuse.

"These days, domestic newspapers, large and small, are publishing your news, and they really regard me as your sister." Su Xiaomei pouted her mouth unwillingly.

Yang Yang laughed, "It's true, how can it be true or false?"

As he said that, he signed the books one by one, so that his little sister would not lose face in front of his classmates.

"By the way, Yang Yang, are you going to Kuwait this time?" Su Wenhong asked with concern.

Yang Yang shook his head, "Go, but the ticket has not been booked yet."

"What the hell is the Football Association doing? It's a long journey and there's not much time. Why haven't you booked your plane ticket yet?" Su Wenhong shook his head and sighed, "Many fans and friends are asking, everyone is relieved if you go, and everyone has no idea if you didn't go."

"How can I be so amazing?" Yang Yang shook his head and smiled.

"Don't tell me, confidence is such a strange thing." Su Wenhong laughed.

Wei Zhen and the others could not help but smile when they heard it, but after careful consideration, it was true.

Since Yang Yang participated in the Toulon Cup for the first time, he has performed particularly well in all the matches of the national team he participated in.

Needless to say, his performance on the court during the Asian Cup, Ali Han also said in an interview with the media that Yang Yang is the communication bridge between him and the players. The reason is very simple, Yang Yang understands his thoughts best.

It can be said that relying on the game after game, Yang Yang gradually built up the confidence of domestic fans in him, and everyone began to believe that there are two completely different national teams with Yang Yang and without Yang Yang.

That is, when everyone was chatting without saying a word, Yang Yang's cell phone rang suddenly.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

It was the leader Zhu of the national team who called.
