The green devil

Although he didn't know the relationship between Xu Bing and Yang Xu, and how he persuaded Yang Xu, Zhao Yang felt that he should go over and thank him.

After taking a shower and changing into casual clothes, Zhao Yang found the room where Yang Xu was.

Yang Xu and Zheng Zhi were in the same room, they were chatting, when they saw Zhao Yang coming in, they both stood up and warmly greeted Zhao Yang to sit down.

Knowing that Yang Xu is from the Northeast, Zhao Yang didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point: "Brother Yang, I'm here to thank you."

Yang Xu and Zheng Zhi glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhao, why are you being polite? We are not outsiders, we are half fellows. My ancestral home is also from Lu Province, and I played for the Taishan team."

Zhao Yang said very sensiblely: "I know, when you were in the Taishan team, I was just a freshman, and I really liked watching you play football."

Zheng Zhi smiled and said, "Then when I was in the Taishan team, you might still be in primary school."

Zhao Yang said with a smile: "Brother Zheng, I haven't seen you play in the Taishan team, but I have seen you play in the Guangzhou team. The Asian footballer deserves his reputation."

Zheng Zhi smiled and said to Yang Xu: "Look, the little brother is so good at talking, no wonder he is a duck to water in the Espanyol team."

Yang Xu smiled and said: "Brother Zhi, Xiao Zhao is like a duck to water in the Espanyol team, relying on his strength. He scored 11 goals in the 9th round of La Liga. This is not a joke. You have also played in the Premier League, so you know how difficult it is."

Zheng Zhidao: "That's right, Xiao Zhao, come on, score another 8 goals and surpass Brother Yang Chenchen, becoming the Chinese player with the most goals in the five major leagues."

Yang Xu smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao, when you didn't come over, Brother Zhi and I were chatting about you, betting how long you can surpass Brother Chen."

Zhao Yang said modestly: "The two elder brothers think highly of me. I can score so many goals because the defender is not familiar with me."

Yang Xudao: "Xiao Zhao, don't be humble. I'm a striker. Your extraordinary skills and shooting skills are not comparable to ordinary people. I'm afraid there's nothing you can do if the defender knows you well. The national team still relies on you to score goals."

Zheng Zhi coughed, and said: "Xiao Zhao, before you came, Brother Xu Bing greeted me and asked me to take care of you. In fact, with your ability, the coach must be in the palm of your hand. Why do you need me to take care of you?" , but the Northeast and Lu provinces are half fellows, so I will tell you a few words of my heart when I am older than you."

"Brother Zheng, just say it."

Zhao Yang thought in his heart, this Xu Bing really has some tricks, this Zheng Zhi is the leader of the national team, and even if he has a very high status in Huaguo football, he didn't expect to sell him face.

Zheng Zhidao: "Playing in our national team, you can't get the same support as the Espanyol team, and you may have to create opportunities yourself."

Zhao Yang nodded and said nothing, but he was thinking, Brother Zheng said so, it seems that the national team has not yet formed.

Zheng Zhi continued: "Don't look at the small number of people in the national team. It is also a small rivers and lakes. It is not as simple as foreign teams. If you don't handle it well, it may trip you up at any time."

Zhao Yang nodded silently. The water of the national team is really deep, but Zhao Yang is not worried. With his current fame and status, there is no one who does not have eyes and trips him.

Zheng Zhi said again: "Finally, and most importantly, to enter the national team, you must be mentally strong, otherwise, you will collapse."

Yang Xudao: "Xiao Zhao, don't look at how enthusiastic the fans are towards you now. Let me tell you, once you don't play well in the game, the fans will turn their faces faster than turning a book."

Zheng Zhidao: "Look at Messi, he is amazing, because the national team's performance is not good, and he is not seen by fans in China."

As a former fan of Huaguo, Zhao Yang knows that the fans are powerful, but if he is not mentally strong, he will be scolded and collapsed by the fans.

Although Zhao Yang has great confidence in himself, football is a team sport, and one cannot win the game by being good alone.

Seeing Zhao Yang's solemn expression, Zheng Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry so much, at least we don't have to worry about being scolded."

Yang Xu laughed and said, "That's right, Xiao Zhao has chosen a good team to start his national team career. When he plays against Bhutan the day after tomorrow, you must start with a hat-trick."

Zheng Zhidao: "As much as we can score, don't forget, we were eliminated by Kuwait because of goal difference."

Zhao Yang didn't know much about Bhutan. It was through the last match between the national football team and Bhutan that he knew that Bhutan also played football.He said: "The two brothers have played against Bhutan. How is Bhutan? Can it be compared with Xibing?"

Zheng Zhi said contemptuously: "Xiao Zhao, you are too flattering Bhutan. It would be great if they have the level of a university team."

Seeing that Zhao Yang didn't understand his opponent, Yang Xu explained the Bhutan team to Zhao Yang in detail.

It is the first time for the Bhutan team to compete in the World Cup qualifiers. Even in the Asian Cup qualifiers, they only played twice, and they were all out early.

Bhutan lost by very wide margins against teams such as Kuwait, Hong Kong, Myanmar and Yemen.

Bhutan has no professional players, and the most famous player in the team is Chen Zhuo Gyaltsan.Known as "Bhutan Ronaldo", he once played for the Thai club Buriram United's reserve team.Almost all other Bhutanese players are government employees, workers, students, and some students are even in high school.

The Bhutan team also has no fixed training time, players can only train after get off work and after class.

Before participating in the world preliminaries, the Bhutan national team had zero international points and ranked bottom.In the previous qualifiers, Bhutan defeated Sri Lanka in both home and away rounds, thus achieving a substantial improvement from the bottom of the world ranking to 159th.This is also their all-time high ranking.Now after 5 rounds of the group stage, they have 0 wins and 5 losses, ranking bottom with 0 points, scoring 3 goals and conceding 33 goals.

Zhao Yang was dumbfounded when he heard this. He knew a thing or two about the strength of the Bhutan team. Because there is too little information about this team, comparing them with West C, it seems that they are really at the level of a school team.

Zhao Yang chatted with Yang Xu and Zheng Zhi for a while, and then went back to his room, ready to take a rest and recover from the jet lag.

But as soon as Zhao Yang arrived at the room, Zhang Dong came. Zhang Dong returned to China later than Zhao Yang, and he just arrived now.

Zhang Dong said: "Xiaoyang, I'm late, let's go out for dinner tonight, and I'll introduce you to some guys."

Zhao Yang said with a smile: "Forget about today, you just came back, you'd better take a rest and beat the jet lag."

Zhang Dong yawned, and said, "That's right, I'm exhausted after flying for so long. Let's do it tomorrow."

Zhang Dong was indeed a little tired, he said a few words to Zhao Yang, and then went back to his room to rest.

But Zhao Yang still didn't have time to rest. As soon as Zhang Dong left, Zhang Peng and a few players from Lu Province came.

Country of Hua is the most important country, Zhao Yang is from Lu Province, when he comes, some fellow villagers must come to see his little brother.

They are both from Lu Province, while Zhang Peng and Zhao Yang are both from Qizhou. They talked more and talked more casually. After a few minutes, they all started to call each other brothers and meet up to hang out.

Zhang Peng and the others knew that Zhao Yang had just arrived and was tired, so they didn't bother them too much. After chatting for more than half an hour, they all went back.
