Chapter 915

After playing Atletico Madrid, the European League was suspended and ushered in a two-week national team match day.

European teams are playing in the European Cup qualifiers, and Yang Yang was also transferred back to China to participate in the national team training.

The first test that the new head coach of the national team encountered was the Asian Cup in Qatar in January. However, at that time, many main players of the national team, including Yang Yang, Chen Tao and Feng Xiaoting, were not transferred, and they stayed in Europe to play football wholeheartedly.

The leaders of the Football Association did not put forward performance requirements for the Asian Cup. Queiroz focused on training and recruited young players and well-known domestic rookies. As a result, players such as Zhang Linpeng, Hao Junmin and Yu Hai performed quite well.

The national team stopped in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup, losing to Australia, and finally Japan defeated Australia to win the championship.

The domestic media and public opinion did not accuse the national team too much. On the contrary, they gave great affirmation to the strength and mental outlook of many young players studying abroad, including Wu Lei.

This group of teenagers has strength and drive, and most importantly, they give people hope.

For example, Wu Lei, at the age of 19, has established himself as the main force in the first team of Ajax and performed quite well. He is now a well-known star of hope in European football. Many teams have even given him the title of "Yang Yang II". They are full of expectations for him, and he himself has also performed very hard.

Joining Ajax at the age of 15, Wu Lei has made great progress and improvement in the past four years, and in this Asian Cup, he is also the team's best player, so many people think that he will become Yang Yang's best partner.

However, in the training camp in late March, Queiroz recruited Yang Yang for the first time after taking over the coach, and had an in-depth conversation with him. From the mouth of the Portuguese coach, Yang Yang clearly knew that he did not intend to change the current front trident of the Chinese team.

That is the combination of Yang Yang, Gao Lin and Chen Tao. He believes that these three players are currently the best attacking lineup for the Chinese team.

Needless to say, Yang Yang, No.1 in world football, Chen Tao also performed very well in Dortmund, and was reused by Klopp, while Gao Lin's tactics played a huge role, and he has also attracted the attention of many teams in the four major leagues.

The three players have complementary characteristics, and they cooperate with each other tacitly. There is no reason for Queiroz to disrupt this configuration.

This is also the reason why he never recruited Yang Yang and others into the team during the player inspection stage before, but now he is starting to adjust the formation for the World Cup qualifiers in July, and he will recruit Yang Yang and others into the team to practice tactics.

Queiroz's coaching is characterized by resolutely playing both wings, focusing on quick impact, and a fast offensive and defensive rhythm.

At the beginning, when Yang Yang played for Liverpool, he heard a lot about Queiroz.

The more famous of course is that Beckham once thanked Queiroz for his contribution to the team's defense, and after the failure of coaching Real Madrid, Queiroz went to Manchester United for the second time and brought tactical innovation to the team. At that time, Ferguson almost handed over the tactical power to Queiroz.

To a certain extent, Ferguson was certainly the leader of Manchester United's brilliance around [-], but Queiroz contributed a lot.

In particular, the solid defense he built at Manchester United made Manchester United almost the strongest defensive team in Europe in those years, and the central defender combination of Vidic and Ferdinand also ranked first in the world.

And you must know that Manchester United's midfielder was quite weak back then.

In addition to defense, Queiroz helped Ferguson absorb a lot of valuable things from the mainstream European teams at the time, such as the front three forwards pulling the running position, which is completely different from Manchester United's previous use of centers like Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Based on a solid defense, patiently look for opportunities, launch an attack suddenly, focus on small-scale cooperation on the side, play whirlwinds with speed, and rely on the pull and movement of the front court trident to impact and destroy the opponent's defense.

Of course, this does not mean that Queiroz despises technology. On the contrary, he was born in the Iberian Peninsula of the European Latin school. Figo and other Portuguese youth training godfathers, Queiroz also attaches great importance to technology. However, from the coaching experience of Manchester United, Real Madrid and the Portuguese national team, he is not obsessed with technology, but believes in simplicity and practicality.

Compared with the individual performance of the players, Queiroz pays more attention to the team's overall cooperation and teamwork, loyalty, respect and attitude. This is what Queiroz told Yang Yang. His three major selection principles also basically reflect his tactical style.

Queiroz also said that because Yang Yang is in a hot state, he hopes that Yang Yang can take on the task of attacking the city. Gao Lin, Chen Tao and other offensive players will create space for Yang Yang through constant running.

Yang Yang expressed his gratitude to Queiroz for his trust, and at the same time put forward some suggestions for the team's tactical play, all of which are his personal experience and experience, and he also hopes that Queiroz can actively help the international footballers go abroad.

"Over the years, the experience of playing football in Europe has made me more convinced that only at a higher level can we continue to grow and improve. I believe that there are still many players in this Chinese team who have the strength to gain a foothold in European football. This is of great benefit to both individuals and the national team."

Queiroz thought so, and directly named Cui Peng and Wang Yongpo.

Cui Peng was Yang Yang's teammate in the National Youth Team in [-], and he was also an important member of the National Youth Team. Unfortunately, after the World Youth Championship, he was not able to catch up with the trend of studying abroad in the first place. In the following years, he went to Europe for trial training intermittently, but failed due to various reasons.

During the winter break this year, Cui Peng went to several teams in the Portuguese Super League for trial training, and was successfully recognized by the opponents. Finally, he was able to play for a mid-lower team in the Portuguese Super League. It is said that Queiroz also contributed a little bit.

Queiroz said that Cui Peng is a very good midfielder in China. He is only 23 years old. He has hard work, solid basic skills, good feet, and excellent passing awareness.

In addition to Cui Peng and Wang Yongpo, Zhao Xuri has been studying abroad in a low-key manner during the winter break and went to the Russian Super League.

……

This time the national team's training camp is mainly to practice the team's tactics, run the team, and prepare for the World Cup qualifiers in July, so the atmosphere is relatively relaxed, and the mentality of the players is also relatively relaxed.

But the pressure of the game was not small, and played three games in one go within two weeks.

Queiroz has a wealth of experience in the European League, so naturally he would not take risks with Yang Yang and others. He has carried out a large rotation in the three games.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated New Zealand [-]-[-], Costa Rica [-]-[-], and Honduras [-]-[-], winning three consecutive warm-up matches.

Yang Yang only played two games before and after, and only played half of the game, scoring one goal each.

Gao Lin performed well. He scored twice in the second game and defeated Costa Rica. He performed very well and let people see his progress in the Eredivisie. It is said that he has also been targeted by the Premier League team.

In these three games, Yang Yang also observed Huang Boxen, Zhang Linpeng, Yu Tao, Zhang Chengdong, Zhang Xizhe and other teammates at close range, and felt that they were all very good. It seemed that after being tempered in the European League, they all showed certain strength.

Especially Zhang Linpeng, Zhang Chengdong and Zhang Xizhe, these three players left a deep impression on Yang Yang.

Zhang Xizhe plays for Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, but he is not able to play for the time being, but he still prefers to stay in Europe. He is currently contacting the middle and lower reaches of the Bundesliga, or teams in other leagues such as Ligue [-], Eredivisie and Portuguese Super League.

Yang Yang also has a wide network of contacts in European football. He said that after returning to Europe, he will ask people to help him find a suitable team.

…………

…………

After finishing the warm-up match from China, Yang Yang returned to Europe immediately.

Soon, the No.30 round of La Liga was held at the Bernabeu, and Real Madrid played against Sporting Gijon at home.

Due to the impact of the national team's competition, many main players including Harvey Alonso, Kaka and Zlatan Ibrahimovic failed to represent the team, because they all played full time in the national team.

Benitez rotated the team. David Silva, Granero and Javier Martinez partnered in the midfield, and Di Maria, Higuain and Yang Yang formed the trident in the frontcourt.

This set of lineups is not commonly used, especially Granero. Although the Real Madrid youth training heir is very diligent, his performance is not ideal. This allows Real Madrid to control the situation, but has never been able to break through the opponent's goal.

Until the No.60 minute of the second half, Di Maria and Yang Yang switched positions. The Argentine appeared on the left side. He dribbled the ball and made a forced breakthrough.

This is the only goal of the game.

In the end, with Yang Yang's goal, Real Madrid beat Sporting Gijon [-]-[-].

……

Real Madrid's win is dangerous, and other teams are also having a hard time.

Barcelona challenged Villarreal in an away game, and they were also unable to attack for a long time. Pique scored a key goal to help Barcelona take away three points from the away game and continue to maintain their lead over Real Madrid.

On the contrary, Valencia faced Getafe in this round. After conceding a goal first, relying on Soldado's explosion in the second half, they reversed Getafe [-]-[-]. The former Real Madrid youth training striker scored four goals in half an hour.

However, Soldado's outbreak was simply unable to shake the La Liga scorer list.

Both Yang Yang and Messi are ahead of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is ranked second, with as many as ten goals. After this round of goals, Yang Yang leads with 36 goals, followed by Messi with 29 goals.

But Yang Yang has already set his sights on the next quarter-finals of the Champions League.
