Chapter 870 Change of Coach?

A flight from Madrid to Beijing slowly landed at Capital Airport.

Wei Zhen was waiting at the pick-up area early, and saw Yang Yang slowly approaching from a distance.

I saw him wearing a sports summer suit, wearing oversized black sunglasses, dragging a suitcase, chatting and laughing with several foreign passengers on the same plane all the way, chatting happily, until they got out of the pick-up gate, and they waved goodbye.

And the next moment, Yang Yang saw Wei Zhen appearing from beside him like a ghost.

"Who are those people?" Wei Zhen took Yang Yang's suitcase and asked, pointing at the backs of the departing foreign passengers.

"The executives of a Spanish multinational company came to Beijing on a business trip. They all sat in first class on the same plane, and they were both Real Madrid fans, so they chatted a little more." Yang Yang replied with a casual smile.

When he returned to his homeland, he was still in a particularly good mood.

how to say?

That is a feeling that can only be felt, but not expressed.

Although he has gotten used to playing football in Europe over the years, if he is really allowed to choose, he still prefers his own country, especially when he lands and hears familiar Chinese in his ears, that feeling is great.

"Let's go, go home." Yang Yang put Wei Zhen's shoulders and urged.

……

Most of the time, what you see in the media is a lie.

For example, a street photo of a certain star at the airport, or a fan of such and such picks up at the airport.

According to Yang Yang's own feeling, it must have been deliberately arranged.

Generally speaking, if he returns to China and deliberately wants to avoid the media and fans, it will not be too easy. Unless he or someone around him deliberately discloses his itinerary, it will be difficult for others to wait for him.

Even if they are recognized on the plane or at the airport, the most they can do is take a picture, sign their autographs, etc., and it's easy to pass. It's impossible to have the kind of fan gathering reported by the news media.

Just like the few fans Yang Yang met on the plane, they recognized Yang Yang, but they didn’t make a fuss at all. They just chatted about life in Madrid, some things they went to Beijing, and the Real Madrid game.

Yang Yang also encountered flight attendants who asked him for an autograph, but they were generally quite controlled, and they made requests without affecting or disturbing Yang Yang, and Yang Yang generally gave them satisfaction.

Of course, he also encountered stewardesses who left him contact information, but generally he ignored them.

So, celebrities' entertainment gossip, or the so-called street shooting, basically just look at it.

Yang Yang stayed in Europe for four days this time to deal with some things, including attending an event of his personal sponsor.

In Raiola's words, it is to try to spare time to earn a little extra money.

Su Ye and Yang Yang's parents, relatives and friends all returned to China on the third day after the Champions League final, but in order to avoid attracting attention, Su Ye did not come to pick up the plane today, but waited at home first.

In two days, Yang Yang will go to the national team to report and prepare for the World Cup in South Africa, while Su Ye will not go to South Africa. She will fly directly to Hollywood, USA to participate in the filming of "Fast and Furious 5". It is estimated that she will stay on the set for three months.

……

"The current situation of the national team is not particularly good. From the World Cup qualifiers to the present, they have played four games and suffered four consecutive losses, including a [-]-[-] loss to South Korea and a [-]-[-] loss to Serbia. Both of them lost quite badly."

On the way home, Wei Zhen took the initiative to mention the current situation of the national team to Yang Yang.

"Arihan's handsome position has been shaken."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Yang Yang nodded slightly. He had a general understanding of the situation of the national team. Before, the leader of the Football Association called him and revealed some intentions to change coaches, but Yang Yang sternly opposed it.

Just kidding, change coaches at this time?
Alihan is certainly not an outstanding coach, but he is the most suitable head coach of the national football team at this stage, because he has led the team for many years and is very familiar with the situation of the national football team and Chinese football, and his coaching ability can be said to be enough to lead the current national football team.

The meaning of the Football Association is to change to a more capable coach and strive to make a breakthrough in the World Cup, just like Trussier led Japan and Guus Hiddink led South Korea.

"The meaning of the warm-up match is trial and error. It is really unnecessary to pay too much attention to the results of the warm-up match. Moreover, it must also be noted that during the competitions such as South Korea and Serbia, the national football team did not transfer overseas international players. Basically, they are mainly domestic players."

For Ali Han, Yang Yang is quite acceptable.

Of course, he also knows that Alihan's coaching ability is not very good.

Sometimes, the best is not necessarily the most suitable.

"That's what you said, but you also know the domestic public opinion environment. The warm-up match has lost four games in a row, and the World Cup is imminent. Tell me, can you not be in a hurry?" Wei Zhen was also very helpless about this.

Although they have entered the World Cup three times in a row, domestic fans are still uncertain.

Everyone knows that the four-game losing streak in the warm-up match is related to the absence of the Overseas Corps, but the loss is too miserable. In addition, with the three consecutive World Cups, the expectations of the fans are naturally getting higher and higher.

The last time he almost qualified for the group stage, but four years later, Yang Yang is already the veritable No. [-] superstar in the world, plus there are many overseas players in the team, everyone naturally hopes to qualify for the group stage.

Moreover, the Chinese team has recently emerged a group of pretty good young players, such as Wang Dalei, Zhang Linpeng, Zhang Xizhe and other young players, especially Wu Lei who plays for Ajax. He is currently the main player of Ajax in the Eredivisie.

Under such circumstances, Chinese people's expectations for the national team are naturally rising, and Alihan has not shown the corresponding strength, so it is naturally unsatisfactory.

Yang Yang frowned, he realized that he should have returned to the national team earlier.

As the number one star in the team and the focus of fans across the country, he has such an obligation.

…………

…………

Yang Yang returns to the team early!

This has undoubtedly become the most important piece of news for the national team preparing for the game.

After receiving the news, the national media also rushed to Beijing Xianghe base to interview.

Yang Yang returned to the team at night and had separate conversations with the head coach Alihan and the team leader, as well as the football association officials who led the team.

Today, Yang Yang is not only the No.1 in domestic football, but also the number one football star in the world. He can make the national team tremble three times when he sneezes, and everyone else naturally has to listen to every word he says.

Yang Yang's opinion is also very clear. The results of the warm-up match are not important. The most important thing is to find and solve problems, adjust the state well, and play well for the upcoming World Cup. This is the key.

During the preparations and the World Cup, everyone and all work must have a unified direction, and there must be no discordant factors, so that all players can concentrate on preparing for the game. This is the foundation of the team's performance.

As for Ali Han, Yang Yang promised that as long as the Dutchman is still the head coach of the national team, he will unconditionally support him and obey the arrangements and requirements of the head coach. Everything is based on the interests of the national team.

Afterwards, Yang Yang came forward again and organized a meeting of the international players to unify their thinking, and asked everyone to do their best to prepare for the upcoming World Cup and strive to break through the group stage.

Yang Yang's status in the team is very high. He has led the team to defeat opponents and win challenges time and time again.

Now, he came forward to maintain the order of the team, and everyone in the team naturally obeyed.

So, the next day, when the major media rushed to the national team training base to interview, they found that the international players were training and preparing for the game in full swing, and everyone's mental outlook was very different from before.

At the very least, he didn't have the depressed appearance of the previous four-game losing streak in the warm-up match.

Yang Yang also changed his previous low-key style. After the training session, he was interviewed by the national authoritative media under the arrangement of the national team. He first answered some personal questions, and then made an appeal on the national team.

He hopes that the outside world can give the national team a more relaxed preparation environment. The results of the warm-up match cannot explain any problems, because neither the enemy nor the enemy did their best, so the results of the warm-up match cannot be taken seriously.

"Arihan told me that in the four warm-up matches, he discovered many problems, and he and his team are also working hard to solve these problems. He firmly believes that he can adjust the team's state before the World Cup, and I believe what he said very much."

Yang Yang also expressed his satisfaction with the current situation of the national team, and believed that the return of overseas internationals will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the national team, which will also be of great help to the upcoming World Cup in South Africa.

"I still say that, we don't lack outstanding young players. What we need to do is to provide young players with an environment to grow up smoothly. At the same time, I also hope that more and more young players will go abroad and play in Europe."

Yang Yang said that he has heard a lot about his teammates in Europe. For example, Wu Lei played very well at Ajax and has made great progress in the past three years. Wang Dalei, who played very well in Alkmaar, has been favored by teams from the four major leagues. The same is true for young players such as Zhang Linpeng and Zhang Xizhe.

"Chen Tao is the absolute main force in Dortmund, and they won the fifth place in the Bundesliga last season. I think this is enough to explain the problem. We have such strength to play in the European League. Similarly, we also have strength. To show ourselves on the stage of the World Cup, the premise is that we must be united."

And Yang Yang's appeal has also been warmly responded by the international players.

Many international footballers, including Zheng Zhi, Feng Xiaoting, Chen Tao and Zhou Haibin, expressed their opinions one after another, calling on the whole team to unite to play well in this World Cup and strive for breakthroughs in performance.
