super storm

Chapter 765
The exact time of Yang Yang's return to the national team is only known to a very small number of people, and the purpose is to avoid trouble.

Unexpectedly, the all-pervasive media reporters and fans still got the news.

Maybe it's in Lijiang, maybe it's on the way to the Haigeng base, or it's the staff at the training base...

Anyway, on the second day, when the national team held the morning training session, many international footballers only received the news of Yang Yang's return to the team, but there were already a large number of media reporters and fans at the scene, many of whom drove here specially.

The purpose of their trip is obviously not for the national team's upcoming South Africa Confederations Cup journey, but for Yang Yang.

It has been a week since Florentino announced his appointment as Real Madrid chairman.

During this week, Real Madrid officially announced the joining of Kaka, and the Italian media soon broke the news that Real Madrid is officially making an offer for Inter Milan's super center Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and the transfer fee is likely to exceed Kaka.

In the transfer market, all kinds of rumors are also emerging one after another. There are some clubs sitting on the ground and raising prices, some agents asking for directions, and some even come here to speculate on hot spots. Various situations emerge in endlessly.

But everyone is still most concerned about Yang Yang.

Marca conducted a questionnaire survey on the official website, and more than 50 Real Madrid fans voted. More than 90.00% of the eight Real Madrid fans chose Yang Yang among the superstar candidates who are most looking forward to joining the Bernabeu in the transfer market this summer, far exceeding everyone else.

After three years of anticipation, the whole Madrid is looking forward to the legendary Yang Yang.

The media all over the world undoubtedly hope to see Yang Yang joining Real Madrid. These are the two hot spots in the European transfer market this summer.

At the same time, they are more willing to see Yang Yang switch to the Bernabeu than Yang Yang joining the Nou Camp and Barcelona alone, so that Real Madrid and Barcelona can come and go, evenly matched.

Therefore, not only Real Madrid fans, but even the media all over the world are pushing Yang Yang's transfer intentionally or unintentionally.

From Europe to Asia to North America to Africa, almost all the big and small newspapers around the world are discussing which team Yang Yang will go to.

But under such circumstances, Yang Yang completely disappeared, and no one could find him.

The domestic media, on the other hand, adopted the method of sitting on the sidelines and waiting for rabbits, squatting on the national team, waiting for Yang Yang to appear.

Therefore, in the training session on the second morning of Yang Yang's return to the team, the training base ushered in a rare event.

Media reporters and fans flocked to surround the training ground.

……

"It seems that you can't escape." Captain Zheng Zhiman teased Yang Yang enviously.

The rest of the team also looked at him with envy and admiration, but no one questioned whether Yang Yang deserved such love from the media and fans, because they knew that Yang Yang deserved far more than that.

Yang Yang noticed the eyes of his teammates, and felt a little proud in his heart, but at the same time felt helpless.

He has tried to keep a low profile, but in the end...

"It's okay, I'll get it over with as soon as possible."

In mid-June, I will go to South Africa to play the Confederations Cup.

This time, the Chinese team participated as the champion of the Asian Cup, and they were very lucky. They were drawn into the same group as Spain, South Africa and New Zealand, while the other group was Brazil, Italy, the United States and Egypt.

Different from the other group, the Chinese team is in this group. Except for Spain, the other three teams are of similar strength.

According to the jokes of many domestic media, FIFA has already drawn the three weakest teams into the same group, and all the hard work is to help South Africa qualify from the group.

Of course, this is also an opportunity for the Chinese team. If they can perform well and stand out from the group stage, they will directly enter the semi-finals, which is also a great honor.

The opening match of this Confederations Cup is South Africa against China.

This is also the first appearance of Yang Yang, the No.1 in world football, in the Confederations Cup.

Although the head coach of the national team Alihan didn't say anything, everyone in the team was secretly thinking that if they could win the first game against South Africa, then the possibility of the Chinese team advancing would be very high.

The reason is very simple. With the strength of Spain, there is no suspense for a three-game winning streak, and New Zealand is known as the weakest of the eight participating teams. As long as the Chinese team can win South Africa and New Zealand, they will qualify as second in the group and enter the semi-finals.

Although the Confederations Cup is no better than the World Cup, it is still a world-class stage and a rare opportunity to exercise.

More importantly, the trend of Chinese football studying abroad has become more and more popular in recent years, and many players who have performed well in European leagues have emerged. For example, Chen Tao is the star of Anderlecht in Belgium, Feng Xiaoting is the main central defender of Feyenoord, and Gao Lin, Alkmaar won the Eredivisie last season. The role of this center is also very obvious.

Zhou Haibin played for Benfica, and has already shown a certain strength in the Champions League.

If the 29-year-old Zheng Zhi is gaining a firm foothold in the Bundesliga Mainz, and the 30-year-old Zhao Junzhe is working hard in the Celtics, it is difficult for these two veterans of the national team to make further progress.

The Confederations Cup is undoubtedly a very good platform and a rare opportunity.

Because of this, the internal atmosphere of the national team is very good this time, and every player is full of fighting spirit.

It goes without saying that Zheng Zhi and Zhao Junzhe were playing in their prime. Li Weifeng also performed quite well after moving to the Korean League and returned to the main team.

Due to the team's metabolism, this time Alihan specially recruited younger goalkeeper Wang Dalei who has already performed well in the Eredivisie, Ajax's winger Wu Lei, Wolfsburg's Zhang Xizhe, Yu Dabao and Zhang Chengdong who played for the Portuguese Super League, and Zhang Linpeng from the Eredivisie.

These players are all young players who have emerged in the past period of time. They all studied abroad at the age of [-] or [-], and gradually emerged, especially Zhang Linpeng, who is very popular.

Veterans such as Sun Jihai and Li Tie are also gradually fading out of the national team. This has been gradually metabolized since the Asian Cup in [-]. Now the Chinese team has begun to prepare for the next ten years.

……

In recent years, with the rise of a group of young players headed by Yang Yang, the Chinese team has gradually become a powerful emerging force in Asian football, but it still does not have much competitiveness in the international arena.

The overall level of Asian football is relatively weak, but when it comes to the international stage, it is still not enough to meet strong teams.

Therefore, the Chinese team has gradually found a set of playing styles that suit them over the years, that is, to focus on the balance of offense and defense in the Asian region, but when it comes to the international arena, they will unswervingly adopt a defensive counterattack strategy and completely entrust the offensive task to Yang Yang.

Such a style of play allows the Chinese team to cope with it on different fronts, and the team and players have gradually regained their confidence with good results, especially Yang Yang, Chen Tao and other international players who have established themselves in European football.

This time in South Africa, Alihan's strategy is still very clear, focusing on stability and focusing on defensive counterattacks.

The Chinese team and South Africa are about 1/[-]. Although the Chinese team has Yang Yang, the No.[-] football player in the world, South Africa also has well-known European stars such as McCarthy and Pienaar. Coupled with the favorable time, place and people at home, the Chinese team may not be able to win South Africa.

As for Spain, let alone, the Chinese team can only have a way out by strictly guarding against death.

The only one sure to win is New Zealand, but they also dare not be careless.

Therefore, after the training camp, the team's entire training program basically revolves around defense and counterattack, among which defense is the most important thing, especially for the defensive strategies of the two different teams of South Africa and Spain.

In terms of counterattack, Yang Yang will take the lead, with Gao Lin and Chen Tao as assistants.

Everyone in the team has full confidence in Yang Yang. As long as the defense can hold, Yang Yang will definitely be able to break through the opponent's goal in front.

……

After the training session in the morning, Yang Yang specially stayed and accepted interviews from on-site media reporters, and at the same time interacted with the enthusiastic fans who came to the scene.

What the media is most concerned about is undoubtedly where Yang Yang will go next.

Regarding this question, Yang Yang played Tai Chi, saying that he is still a Liverpool player and has not considered the future situation too much, and now he is more focused on the national team. As for whether he will transfer in the future, this is not something he can decide.

"I think it's more appropriate for you to ask Rick Parry this question." Yang Yang replied with a smile.

As for Real Madrid's new chairman Florentino, who publicly expressed his interest in him, Yang Yang responded with gratitude.

"But I still say that, I'm a Liverpool player now, it's not convenient to say too much about this kind of thing."

There are rumors that Barcelona is negotiating with Liverpool and considering using Eto’o to add money to introduce Yang Yang from Liverpool. Yang Yang’s response to this is that he has not heard of such rumors, but he is very grateful for the favor from Barcelona, ​​but he still has to listen to Liverpool’s decision. He is a Liverpool player.

After several questions in succession, domestic media reporters were at a loss what to do with Yang Yang.

They found that no matter what kind of questions Yang Yang was facing, he answered them impeccably, leaving no loopholes for them to exploit in terms of reason and logic.

What's even more hateful is that his attitude from the beginning to the end was so good that he couldn't get angry, and he cooperated very obediently and obediently.

But Yang Yang secretly laughed in his heart. Compared with Europe, especially the ancestors of the paparazzi in the UK, the level of the domestic media is still much lower. It is quite easy to deal with.

The whole sideline interview lasted about half an hour, and Yang Yang answered almost all the questions, but the media reporters finally got nothing and were persuaded to leave the national team training base.
