Coaching career started as a college team coach

This season of Yang Qi is full of surprises.

People watched with great surprise as this young man who almost left football spread his wings again in the European continent. At the beginning of this season, he is the only young player who has studied abroad in the top five European leagues.

He not only made his Bundesliga debut, but also performed well in the limited playing time.

At the end of the season, he played a total of 16 games in the Bundesliga, including 8 starts and 8 substitutes.

Scored 3 goals and sent 5 assists to his teammates.

At the end of the season, due to the return of rival Hannik, it was difficult for Yang Qi to compete with the Austrian striker on the front line. But he still got a lot of opportunities to come on as a substitute.

The most surprising game was the penultimate round of the Bundesliga, that is, the 33rd round. Hannover 96 temporarily lost to its opponent Hertha Berlin 0-1 in the first half. In the second half, the head coach replaced the average striker Hannik in the 70th minute.

Replaced Yang Qi.

After Yang Qi came on the field, he broke through the opponent's defense in the middle and assisted Felkrug to score the equalizer. Then in the 85th minute, he received a straight pass from the midfield and scored a single goal to overtake the score!

In the end, Hannover 96 defeated Hertha Berlin 2-1 at home and won all three points.

It was also in this game that the excited Yang Qi couldn't help but take off his clothes to celebrate after scoring a goal, and received his first yellow card of the season.

The photo of Yang Qi, shirtless, facing the roar of the home fans, almost made all Chinese fans ecstatic-they couldn't remember when this scene last appeared.

The high-praise comment on Hupu only had eight words:

Proud and domineering!

This is enough to show the huge impact of Yang Qi's actions this season on Chinese football.

Today, Chinese football is experiencing a period of personnel shortage, and the decline in the quality of young domestic players is an indisputable fact. In this case, the appearance of Yang Qi is simply a long-lost nectar for the long-drought Chinese football.

He is the most delightful existence in this decade of transition.

It is with such performance that Yang Qi was selected into the national team list for the "Huaguo Cup" in March 2018.

This is a list of 27 players, and it is also the first training list of the Huaguo national team in 2018.

The list of the national football coach Lippi fulfilled his previous promise to recruit the strongest team to participate in the "Huaguo Cup". Wu Lei, Gao Lin, Feng Xiaoting, Yu Dabao, Zhao Xuri and other Chinese Super League players were successfully selected, and the rest of the players were mostly the main players participating in the top 12 games and powerful U23 players.

At the end of the list, the long-awaited words "(Hannover 96) Yang Qi" appeared.

This is the first time that Yang Qi has been selected into the national team list.

At the age of 21, he was selected into the national team's first team list, which is indeed enough to surprise people.

Hannover 96 did not set up any obstacles for this, so Yang Qi returned home smoothly.

The "China Cup" was actually a friendly match between four teams, and the other three teams were Uruguay, Wales, and the Czech Republic.

Lippi chose to let Yang Qi start in the match against Wales. He sent out a 4-4-2 formation, with Yang Qi partnering with Gao Lin as a double center forward, which was very similar to the tactics Yang Qi played in Hannover 96.

However, it is regrettable that Yang Qi's return did not bring any essential difference to the national football team.

In the "semi-final" against Wales, the Chinese team lost to the opponent 0-3 in Nanning, Guangxi.

Wales' top star Bale performed a hat trick in the game, and the Chinese national team was completely suppressed and had no power to fight back. The combination of Yang Qi and Gao Lin seemed to lack chemistry.

The situation did not improve in the second half. Yang Qi was replaced by Wu Lei in the 60th minute, and then Gao Lin was also replaced. The national team changed to a defensive formation of 4-5-1, and finally did not allow the opponent to expand the score.

A few days later, the third and fourth place finals were between China and Czech Republic.

In this game, China changed its slump in the previous game at the beginning of the game. Yang Qi received a long pass from the backcourt. He seized the unreasonable position of the opponent's defender and inserted into the opponent's penalty area from the ribs.

Facing a single-knife opportunity, he calmly completed the shot and helped China open the record.

This was also his first goal for the national team.

However, this did not seem to help China win.

The Czech Republic seemed to be awakened by this goal. They quickly controlled the midfield and scored three goals before the end of the game. In the end, China lost 1-3.

After the two games, everyone was speechless.

People did not expect that when ChinaFacing a quasi-World Cup-level powerhouse, the result was unexpectedly like this. Especially in the first game, the Chinese team was beaten black and blue by Wales.

Midfielders Zhao Xuri and Wu Xi often made unforced mistakes in front of their opponents, while central defender Zhang Linpeng and left-back Li Xuepeng were completely dominated by Bale.

When the "famous players" of the Chinese Super League faced the players of the Premier League, people expected that the result would not be satisfactory, but they did not expect the gap to be so big.

The goal that saved the face of the Chinese team was scored by Yang Qi, which also triggered the thinking of Chinese fans.

It is easy to see that Yang Qi's passing and running on the court seem to be one beat faster than other players of the Chinese team. It often happens that Yang Qi runs to the right position, but the ball is not passed.

Or Yang Qi passes the ball, but Gao Lin did not expect it at all.

Yang Qi struggled in both games.

"The only goal we scored to save our reputation was scored by a 21-year-old kid who was almost forced to retire by match-fixing. Those so-called 'famous players' and 'superstars' are so powerful in the domestic league, but they are like weaklings in foreign wars?"

At that time, a reporter also came to ask Wei Le this question.

Wei Le didn't know how to answer.

Over the past year, Wei Le noticed that Yang Qi's various data have increased. His speed has increased from 15 to the green 16, indicating that his speed is already at a relatively good level.

And "strength", which was originally a shortcoming, has increased from 8, which is not good enough, to 10, which is acceptable.

Bounce has increased slightly from 10 to 11.

Wei Le noticed that Yang Qi's technical attributes have also been slightly adjusted. Among them, the values ​​of out-of-bounds balls and corner kicks have decreased. Wei Le speculated that this may be because he is "reallocating attributes".

There is this function in the FM game. Sometimes, most of the attributes on the attribute panel of the player show a downward arrow, but soon, the key attributes of the player will rise again.

This is because the potential of players in FM is fixed. In order to continue to grow within the limited potential, FM will arrange "reallocation" for players in the game, basically allocating the abilities occupied by some non-critical attributes to key attributes.

But I didn't expect that there is such a mechanism in reality, or in the system.

The shooting has reached 13, and the short pass remains at 12.

Note that this is the evaluation standard for professional players!

This shows that Yang Qi's growth this season can almost be said to be a leap forward!
