Chapter 556 Besides Yang Yang, Who Else?
On July [-], the first round of the Asian Cup group stage.
The Chinese team faced the host Malaysia.
Alihan played in a half-main and half-substitute lineup, with Li Leilei as the goalkeeper, Sun Xiang, Feng Xiaoting, Li Weifeng and Sun Jihai in the defense, Zheng Zhi, Zhou Haibin and Wang Dong in the midfield, and Shao Jiayi, Han Peng and Mao Jianqing in the frontcourt.
The Chinese team has hidden the number one player in the team. Liverpool core Yang Yang, who just won the Champions League in Europe, Chen Tao, who performed very well in Anderlecht, and Gao Lin, who performed well in Alkmaar, were all put on the bench for Alihan, which also showed the confidence of the Dutch coach in the team.
Facts have proved that after the opening, the Chinese team has firmly controlled the situation on the court.
Since Alihan took office, the Chinese team has been insisting on passing and controlling the ball, which allowed the team to win the last Asian Cup. Afterwards, Krautchen also insisted on this style of play. The team performed very well in the Dutch World Youth Championship in [-] and won the World Youth Championship.
It can be said that Chinese football has never been so firm in choosing the pass-and-control style of play as the mainstream style of play for national teams at all levels, and Alihan also insisted on continuing this set of style of play until this year.
In the past two years, he has seldom recruited overseas international players and concentrated on polishing the domestic lineup, which also allowed the team to show results in this game.
Although they did not try their best and many main players did not start, the Chinese team still firmly controlled the situation and possession of the ball, and launched an offensive towards Malaysia again and again. In the No. 15 minute, Wang Dong received a pass from Shao Jiayi, made a pass from the right wing, and assisted Han Peng to score with a header.
Afterwards, the Chinese team continued to gain opportunities. Although the grasp of opportunities and shooting efficiency were still lacking, Shao Jiayi scored again and again in the No. 306 minute.
After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, the Chinese team continued to maintain their overall advantage. Wang Dong scored twice, and Han Peng also scored another goal. In the end, they beat Malaysia [-]-[-] and won the Asian Cup debut.
……
The first game was won with five goals. The Chinese team played as a substitute, but they handed in an unforgettable answer.
Whether it is the ability to create opportunities, or the way of passing and controlling the ball on the court, or the active running support of the players, they all left a deep impression on people.
So much so that the head coach of Malaysia publicly stated after the game that in front of the powerful Chinese team, Malaysia is as immature as a child, and has no power to fight back at all.
And when the news spread back to China, the whole country rejoiced again.
Domestic media and fans have given a very high evaluation of the national team's debut in Southeast Asia. Many people believe that the Chinese team has every hope of successfully defending the title and adding honor to Chinese football.
Whether it is the media or the fans, confidence comes from the team's performance and Yang Yang sitting on the bench.
Judging from the performance against Malaysia in the first game, the Chinese team created more opportunities, but they lacked in the ability to grasp the scoring. Therefore, some media believe that if Yang Yang were replaced, the goals might exceed double digits.
More importantly, the defense led by Sun Xiang, Feng Xiaoting, Li Weifeng and Sun Jihai performed very stably. In addition to Zheng Zhi and Zhou Haibin's midfield, Wang Dong even scored twice. The whole performance left an extremely deep impression on people.
Everyone believes that as long as Yang Yang plays, the Chinese team will only perform better!
…………
…………
On the evening of October [-]th, in the second round of the Asian Cup group stage, China played against Iran.
Arihan's game was adjusted based on the first game.
There is no change in the midfield and backcourt. The goalkeeper is still Li Leilei. The defense is Sun Xiang, Feng Xiaoting, Li Weifeng and Sun Jihai. The midfielders are still Zheng Zhi, Zhou Haibin and Wang Dong, but the frontcourt has been adjusted.
What is quite surprising is that Yang Yang did not appear in the left winger position he is good at, but returned to the right winger.
This is where he played at Ajax.
The sudden change made all the arrangements made by the Iranian team against Yang Yang before the game completely in vain.
As soon as the game started, they found that they had completely miscalculated.
In just 22 seconds, the Chinese team, which took the lead in the kick-off, reversed continuously in the midfield. After controlling the ball, it was distributed to the right and handed over to Sun Jihai.
Yang Yang got rid of the defensive player at an extremely fast speed, crossed into the penalty area obliquely, and faced Sun Jihai's incoming ball, he directly volleyed and shot.
The ball went straight to the goal of the Iranian team!
One to zero!
No one thought that in the face of a powerful Iran, scoring goals would come so easily!
The first shot in the opening game, the first chance, directly turned into a goal.
Yang Yang celebrated excitedly on the court, and hundreds of millions of Chinese fans jumped up excitedly at home, cheering for his goal.
too suddenly!
And this sudden goal completely disrupted the Iranian team's position.
The Chinese team attacked decisively, and the offensive players headed by Yang Yang actively created opportunities in the frontcourt and played a wave of offensive.
Only 5 minutes later, Yang Yang suddenly dribbled the ball inward on the right side of the front of the penalty area. After attracting the attention of the Iranian defensive players, he passed it to Han Peng at the front of the penalty area. As a result, the Iranian defensive player fouled and gave the Chinese team a free kick in the frontcourt. Shao Jiayi personally took the free kick and hit it to further expand the score.
Two to zero.
After scoring two goals in a row, the Chinese team played more patiently, firmly controlled the ball on the field, and kept organizing and creating opportunities.
When the game progressed to No. 30 and two minutes, Wang Dong gave the ball to Zheng Zhi. After the latter dribbled the ball forward, he suddenly went straight into the penalty area. Shao Jiayi pushed horizontally and passed it to Yang Yang who ran out of space.
Yang Yang didn't even need to make any adjustments, and directly sent the ball into the Iranian team's goal again, three to zero!
And Yang Yang himself scored twice!
Although he is in Southeast Asia, Yang Yang, as a top Premier League star, still attracted a large number of fans to the scene, including not only Southeast Asian fans, but also a large number of Chinese fans. Everyone rushed to witness the demeanor of this world's top star, and Yang Yang did not disappoint them.
Even the second goal came from a foul he planned.
However, in half-time stoppage time, Li Weifeng fouled while fighting for the top and gave Iran a free kick outside the penalty area. The Iranian team took the opportunity to win the game, [-]-[-].
……
After changing sides to fight again in the second half, the Iranian team changed two players in a row and launched an offensive decisively.
Having been able to dominate the Asian arena for many years, the overall strength of the Iranian team should not be underestimated, especially when this team broke the boat and went all out to attack, the Chinese team was also very difficult to deal with, and was once forced into a very embarrassing situation.
Alihan decisively replaced Wang Dong with Zhao Junzhe in the No. 60 minute to strengthen the team's midfield defense, and then replaced Shao Jiayi with Chen Tao, Yang Yang was switched to the left, and Chen Tao was given the right.
But even so, in the No. 701 minute, the Iranian team seized an opportunity to win another game.
After scoring two goals in a row, the Chinese team stabilized their formation slightly.
The three midfielders headed by Zheng Zhi, Zhou Haibin and Zhao Junzhe exerted their strength at the same time, pushing the overall formation forward and giving support to the frontcourt.
Ali Han quickly replaced Han Peng with Gao Lin to further strengthen the control of the frontcourt.
The adjustment quickly took effect.
Gao Lin played in less than 5 minutes. After stealing the ball from the midfielder, the Chinese team quickly made a counterattack from the right.
Chen Tao dribbled the ball from the right and forcibly broke through the bottom to make a cross. Gao Lin leaned on the opponent's player in the middle of the penalty area and stopped the ball to the outside of the penalty area.
Yang Yang stepped in from the back row, facing Gao Lin's pass, and shot directly with anger.
The sudden long-range shot in the arc top area of the penalty area caught the Iranian goalkeeper Rod Barrian by surprise and was unable to parry at all.
Yang Yang's wonderful outside long-range shot once again pierced the goal of the Iranian team, and at the same time contained the counterattack of the Persian Army, saving a victory for the Chinese team.
In the end, the Chinese team defeated Iran [-]-[-], giving the team the initiative to qualify for the group stage.
Yang Yang also scored a hat-trick in the first game of the Asian Cup, allowing everyone to see the strength and demeanor of his world's top star. After the game, he was unanimously appreciated by everyone, including his opponent Iran.
And everyone also firmly believes that under the leadership of Yang Yang, this Chinese team is fully capable of going further.
If you don't enter, you are done, once you enter, you will enter three!
Looking at this Asian Cup, who else is there besides Yang Yang?
…………
…………
Ali Han is extremely satisfied with the state shown by the national team in the Asian Cup.
Originally, his safe strategy was to ensure the team's combat effectiveness in the next two games, but now the team has won the first two games, especially the defeat of Iran, which basically sent the team to the knockout round.
After the two rounds of the group stage, the Chinese team ranked first with two wins in two games, Iran with one win and one loss, Uzbekistan with one win and one loss, and Malaysia with two total losses.
Since there is basically no suspense for Iran to play Malaysia in the last round, Uzbekistan must win the Chinese team in the last round to have a chance, but the Chinese team only needs a draw to qualify for the first place.
It can be said that the initiative of the game is completely in the hands of the Chinese team.
Alihan also rotated the team lineup again in this game. In addition to Li Weifeng's suspension, Zhou Haibin was also put on the bench by him, and a three-back lineup of Zhao Xuri, Zheng Zhi and Zhao Junzhe was formed.
There was basically nothing to say about the game. The Chinese team responded with a defensive counterattack, giving full play to the speed advantage of Yang Yang in front, and in the first half after taking the ball in from the left, he suddenly kicked the goal and scored his fourth goal in this Asian Cup, giving the Chinese team the lead.
After changing sides in the second half, it was Yang Yang who assisted Gao Lin to score again, rewriting the score to [-]-[-].
After confirming the advantage, Yang Yang was substituted in No. 605 minutes.
Then Uzbekistan launched a wave of rushing attacks. Although it broke the goal of the Chinese team in the No. 701 minute, it still failed to score again.
With an impressive record of three victories, the Chinese team qualified from the group stage with their heads held high.
In the ensuing draw for the quarter-finals, the Chinese team drew their rival South Korea.
