In the morning, Yang Yang was running fast on a treadmill in the gym of the hotel.

Before he knew it, he was already out of breath and sweating profusely, but he was still very excited.

At the Gongsports Stadium last night, the Chinese team defeated Iraq 3-0, and Yang Yang performed very well throughout the game.

He scored with a diagonal penetration in the penalty area in the first two minutes. After that, his right was always the most threatening area for the Chinese team. Iraq had to strengthen its defense on the left and strive to freeze Yang Yang's impact on the right.

But even so, in the 41st minute, Yang Yang seized a chance and dribbled the ball from the right rib into the penalty area again, causing a foul by the opponent's defensive player. The referee awarded a penalty without hesitation.

Zheng Zhi calmly took the penalty kick, expanding the score to 2-0.

After scoring a goal and planning a goal, Yang Yang once again became a stolen figure in the game.

Head coach Alihan once again replaced Yang Yang in the 60th minute of the second half. The reason was very simple. He hoped that Yang Yang could maintain this competitive state.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Iraq three-to-zero, and Zheng Zhi, who scored two penalty kicks, was elected as the best player in the game.

After passing by the best in the audience again, Yang Yang felt a little regretful, so that after Zheng Zhi returned to the room last night, he smiled and said that he wanted to invite Yang Yang to a big meal, which was considered compensation for Yang Yang.

After going to bed early, Yang Yang also got up early.

The hotel is not far from Gongshi Stadium, but there is no good running training venue around. He applied to the national team leader before and went to a nearby park once. However, there were many people and the facilities were not good, so he did not go out again.

Yang Yang didn't feel uncomfortable when he went to the hotel gym to train every morning.

...

Recently, Yang Yang felt that his condition was so good that he couldn't believe it even himself.

Just like in the game against Iraq, every time he touched the ball, he felt very sharp, as if the ball was stuck to his feet. Not only was he touched the ball for the first time, he could even clearly predict what impact his next few moves would have on the ball and what changes to the surrounding situation.

The Iraqi players were relatively controlled at first, but later they could not hold on and their movements became more rough. However, Yang Yang was very focused and paid attention to avoiding and dodging, and never allowed the opponent's foul to succeed.

That foul that won a penalty in the penalty area, he shrank for a moment and was just tripped.

Last night, in the super training ground, Lao Bing and Yang Yang reviewed the game against Iraq, and also analyzed the reason for his outstanding state recently, which is the scientific training, dietary norms and self-discipline in the past month.

Standardized diet and self-disciplined work and rest time have kept Yang Yang's young body in a very good state, while scientific training has allowed him to constantly stimulate the potential in his body, making him more and more eager for formal games, and this desire will make Yang Yang very excited every time he steps into the football field.

But this is only a temporary phenomenon.

Yang Yang must start to learn how to adjust his condition, adjust his body, and learn how to maintain an excellent competitive state for a long time, because ups and downs are not a good thing for players.

Of course, Yang Yang is only seventeen years old and has a lot to learn, and no one can help him with the national team. He can only wait until he returns to Ajax and then slowly find the team's coaches and experts to ask for advice and study.

After sweating in the gym, Yang Yang went to take a shower, steamed a sauna for a while, and then left with relief.

"Dad, mom, cousin, second brother."

As soon as Yang Yang finished breakfast, the hotel staff informed him that there were guests visiting in the lobby downstairs.

At that time, he knew that it must be his own parents.

Before the game yesterday, he learned from the phone that his parents were coming to Beijing.

In addition to Wei Zhen, there were also Su Wenhong, Ye Ziqing and Su Ye who accompanied them this morning.

When everyone saw him, they were laughing from ear to ear.

Yang Yang's performance is getting better and better now, and his popularity in China is getting higher and higher, making them all proud of their benefits.

Although the Chinese national football team has been somewhat sluggish in recent years, it means that China plays, and this Asian Cup has indeed performed well, especially international players such as Yang Yang and Shao Jiayi, who have played a key role.

"The domestic public opinion is very enthusiastic now, and your popularity is really scary. Whether it is the Internet or the media, it is going crazy." Wei Zhen felt a bit incredible when he said it.

Yang Yang's popularity was unexpected, but it was reasonable.

From his helping Ajax to the Champions League, to the Toulon Cup, to the Asian Cup, he has been so eye-catching that it is so dazzling that it is difficult to ignore.

Not to mention domestic fans, even non-fans were talking about him under the bombing of media, newspapers and TV stations.

Of course, this has something to do with the current Asian Cup battle.

"Do you know? As soon as you become popular, our little sister became popular." Su Wenhong laughed.

Su Ye, who was sitting aside, was embarrassed and annoyed, "Dad, even he said he would not mention this matter."

Everyone was amused, but Yang Yang was confused when he heard it.

"What's the matter?"

"After you scored last night, the game scene switched to the stands. You were originally going to take pictures of your uncle and aunt, but Su Ye sat next to her aunt and was mistaken for your sister and took pictures. As a result, she became popular on the Internet all of a sudden." Wei Zhen explained with a smile.

Yang Yang suddenly realized the truth, nodded and smiled, "That's not a misunderstanding. She is my sister. Please take care of her elder brother and second brother in the future."

Finally, he deliberately pretended to hold his fists and bowed, which made everyone laugh again, and Su Ye became even more shy.

During the month when Yang Yang stayed in Beijing, he has been very cared for by Su Wenhong's family. In addition to the relationship between the two brothers of Wei Zhen, Yang Yang said that Su Ye was his sister, so there was no problem at all. Su Wenhong and Ye Ziqing were both very happy and even discussed with Yang Yang's parents about who is older and who is younger.

I don’t know if this is true. It turns out that Yang Yang is four months older than Su Ye.

Now Yang Yang was happy. He had been a sister since he was a child and had long wanted to have a younger brother or sister.

"By the way, Dad, how long do you plan to stay this time?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

"I will stay for a while, at least I will go back after watching the Asian Cup." Yang Yongqiang said.

Yang Yang played on behalf of the national team and received high attention from provincial and municipal leaders. In addition, his current popularity in China has benefited Yang Yongqiang's company.

"We are here this time mainly to talk about sponsoring marathons next year, and to conduct cooperation negotiations on the field of sports research and analysis with a well-known domestic university. I guess we will stay for a while." Wei Zheng explained.

"When you want to go back to the Netherlands after the Asian Cup, I will go back with you."

Yang Yang frowned when he heard this, "You are going back to the Netherlands?"

"Don't be nervous, they both returned to the Netherlands, mainly to set up our shoe and clothing design center in Europe." Yang Yongqiang said.

Yang Yang felt relieved after hearing this.

Then they talked about Yang Yang's affairs in the national team, and encouraged him to work hard to maintain his state and strive to win glory for the country.

"You know, in our Chinese football history, we have never won the Asian Cup, and this year is China's first Asian Cup. If we can win the championship, you will become a hero in everyone's eyes." Wei Zhen said very sincerely.

Yang Yongqiang, Wei Zheng and Su Wenhong also felt that as long as Yang Yang maintains his current state, the Chinese national football team will still have the strength to compete, because judging from the performance in the group stage, the Korean team is not in good condition, and Bonfrere's coaching has also encountered problems.

In the knockout round, South Korea and Iran will fight to the death, and the two teams will definitely go one team.

The traditional strong team Saudi Arabia was eliminated in the group stage unexpectedly, and the rest were Iran and Japan.

It can be said that there must be challenges, but hope also exists.

Yang Yang nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and a strong desire emanated from his eyes.

There are never any players who dislike goals or championships.

Before the Chinese team defeated Iraq 3-0, Uzbekistan drew Bahrain 2-2, but lost the game three-4 in the final penalty shootout and eventually missed the promotion.

On the day after the Chinese team's game, Japan successfully equalized the score with a goal first. The two sides tied with one-to-one. Finally, in the penalty shootout, Japan withstood the pressure and eliminated Jordan four-to-three and successfully advanced.

In the last game of the quarterfinals knockout match, the South Korean team fought to the death with Iran, and the two sides were in a difficult position to solve.

Ten minutes into the game, Karimi scored first, and six minutes later, South Korea's Xue Qixuan equalized the score.

But twenty minutes later, Karimi scored another goal, helping the Iranian team lead again, and Li Dongguo equalized the score five minutes later.

After the second half of the game, Park Ji-sung first scored an own goal, and then Kim Nam-yi equalized the score, but Karimi's goal in the 77th minute completely helped the Iranian team secure the victory.

In the end, Iran eliminated South Korea four-to-three with Karimi's hat trick and Park Ji-sung's own goal.

South Korea's elimination has relieved Chinese fans, but Iran cannot be underestimated. In the games against Iran over the years, the Chinese team has also won fewer wins and lost more, and its strength is at a comprehensive disadvantage.

What humiliated Chinese fans the most was that in the Golden State Top Ten Championship that year, the Chinese team scored two goals first, but was forced to score four goals in a row by the Iranian team and lost that game in shame.

Now, China and Iran meet again, and in the Asian Cup semi-finals, both sides are full of gunpowder.

South Korean coach Bonfrere, who was brutally eliminated, expressed his disappointment about being brutally eliminated by Iran in an interview with the media, and on the other hand, he said that it is difficult for the Chinese team to defeat Iran.

"We have played against Iran. This team is stronger than China. There are many distinctive players, but the Chinese team has almost no. So, there is no doubt that this game will be very difficult for the Chinese team, and Iran will be the favorite to enter the finals."

Regarding the remarks of the South Korean coach, Chinese media and fans generally believe that he is finding a way out for himself, after all, Iran has eliminated South Korea.

But in the official Asian Cup website survey, more than 80% of fans believe that Iran will enter the finals.

Chinese team?
