Chapter 60 The First Show of the National Football Team

In the China-South Korea match in Seoul, it can be said that it was extremely boring from head to toe.

Zhao Yaning sat dryly off the court and didn’t get any chance to play.He understands the coach's approach very well. The national team has been working together for a long time, but he is just a rookie. The big game is coming soon, and the coach doesn't have much thought to hone the new players. After all, the results of the game are the most important.

Therefore, although the coach boasted about his talent and ability in front of the media, and handed him the No. 7 jersey of the national team, in the end, he was still mercilessly pressed on the bench.

And the game ended with 0-0.The big game is coming up for both sides, and neither of them is in the mood to play football seriously. Both of them are playing cautiously, for fear of getting hurt. Such a game will naturally end peacefully, which is an ending that both sides can accept.

It's just that this kind of competition made the Chinese media noisy.China and South Korea have been invincible for 20 years, and the Chinese team, which is considered the strongest until now, still cannot win, which is really unacceptable. [

But at the same time, the Chinese media kept talking about another thing: a week ago, the South Korean team defeated the Costa Rica team 2-0, but now they have a draw with the Chinese team, which means that the Chinese team defeated the Costa Rica team There is still hope.

This simple mathematical logic made Zhao Yaning not know what to say.The conclusion he got from watching the game from the sidelines was different from this.In his view, although the Koreans' skills are not very good, they are very good in physical strength and tactical execution. Their strengths are just the weaknesses of Chinese players. Whether Chinese players can beat Costa Rica is really a matter of debate.

But at this time, Zhao Yaning received another new news.

He was selected into the Chinese Olympic team by coach Shen of the Olympic team.

The foundation of the Chinese Olympic team is the National Youth Team. Zhao Yaning has been selected for the National Youth Team before, but the National Youth Team has never been.Now he can be selected for the Chinese Olympic team, naturally because of his achievements in foreign countries.But such a thing also caused another embarrassing thing: Zhao Yaning had to return to China to participate in the Asian Games in October.

But he has nothing to complain about. He is not the only one who was selected for the national team and the Olympic team at the same time. Du Wei and Qu Bo are also players who were selected for the national team and the Olympic team at the same time.In Europe, it is regarded as the default rule that if you are selected for the national team, you will no longer be selected for the youth team. In China, no one seems to recognize it. Those who are capable work harder, and serving the country without sacrificing their lives is what Chinese players should do.

However, for Zhao Yaning, the Asian Games is likely to conflict with his time in Europe.If he really goes to Monaco next season, he will definitely have to work hard to enter the main list. If he is distracted by the Asian Games, it will be difficult to balance the two.

But that's all for the future. Zhao Yaning knows the priorities, and it's wrong to worry about the future.

After this game, in the match against Thailand in Kunming, Zhao Yaning got the chance to play.It's just that he was allowed to play after seven and 10 minutes, when the team's 3-1 victory was set.

Although Zhao Yaning also tried to play at a certain level after playing, but it is a pity that he and the national team players have hardly run in, and there has been a lot of trouble in running positions, passing and receiving the ball. I didn't get any good opportunities at the end, and my performance can only be said to be average.

And Zhao Yaning himself was not very satisfied with this game, so naturally he didn’t have to expect the coach to be extremely satisfied with him.In the subsequent friendly match between Shenyang and Uruguay, he sat dry for another whole game.

The team ended up losing the friendly match 0-2.But Uruguay can be regarded as a strong team in South America, and it is not a shame to lose this game.

And the subsequent game is the game against Eindhoven in the Eredivisie League in Shanghai.The match was brought about by the national team's sponsor, Philips, and was the only friendly match against clubs in China.

Before arriving in Shanghai, Dazhen reminded Zhao Yaning in advance, "When you arrive in Shanghai, you may be interviewed by the media. Be careful with your words and don't be annoying."

Hearing this, Zhao Yaning was a little puzzled, "Why would someone interview me? It seems that the media still have opinions on me?"

"It's not because you are selected for the national team this time to push their people away."

Dazhen just smiled, "Shanghai people are mean, and their words may be a little harsh, so you should be careful."

Zhao Yaning understood a little.He was selected for the national team this time because he came from behind. It was originally considered that the candidate who should be selected was the golden left foot who is known as one of the three young men in Beijing, or the half-time gold medal in the German Three Musketeers in Shanghai. boots.As a result, Zhao Yaning played well this year and gained fame. At the same time, he also won the favor of Wenger and others, and there were transfer rumors with the Premier League giants, so he squeezed them out.

The national team didn't go to Beijing this time, so I don't know what it's like in the capital, but when it comes to Shanghai, the local football community in Shanghai must be dissatisfied with him.It may be a lie that Shanghai people are mean, but it is absolutely true that the Shanghai media doesn't like him. [

Sure enough, as Dazhen expected, when he arrived in Shanghai, after the training, a reporter came to interview Zhao Yaning.

"Excuse me, how do you feel about being selected for the national team?"

"I am very happy to be selected for the national team. I am grateful to the country for cultivating me, and I am also proud of this honor."

Zhao Yaning has not forgotten the most formal answer routine that Zhang Yuan asked him to answer, and when he speaks, he is also very careful.But even so, Zhao Yaning still saw a light flashing in the eyes of the reporter opposite.

"In other words, you also think that you are lucky to be selected for the national team, don't you?" What contribution has this World Cup trip made?"

"My main task is to learn. It is important to learn how to play football from my predecessors."

It is still the most standard answer, but the reporter read out loud while writing, "I feel that the national team is under too much pressure, and I think I am unable to make a contribution."

Zhao Yaning wanted to say something, but the reporter quickly spoke again, "Excuse me, some people say that you are not as good in the French League Two as in the German League. Do you have any different opinions?"

"You're always misinterpreting my meaning..."

"If there is no objection, I only dare to change the subject... Do you think your best rookie in Ligue [-] is a reflection of your true strength?"

"I can't answer your question."

"As for my best newcomer award, I think it's right. Excuse me..."

"You've been misinterpreting my words! You did it on purpose!"

"Poor work ethic, so angry at journalists..."

"You obviously provoked me on purpose!"

"Trying to use force against journalists..."

"you……"

Dazhen came over from behind, covered his mouth, and suppressed an angry curse back into his mouth in time.

"Thank you, don't worry about it like a child." Dazhen whispered a few words to the reporter in the past, sent the reporter away, and then turned around, "Have you seen how good the domestic reporters are?"

"What kind of reporters are they? All their words are twisted!"

"Then you go and sue him, he is not afraid of wearing shoes when he is barefoot, can you do it? Do you still want to be famous if you sue a reporter?" Dazhen patted him, "The reason why he told you in person was not because of Make you angry? Leave him alone and learn, there is a lot to learn."

Are these things really useful to learn? [

Looking at the sullen Zhao Yaning, Da Zhen slapped him cheerfully, "Stop that expression. It's useless to talk nonsense with this kind of villain. If you really want to hit back at him, just speak with your performance."

Will do.You'll see what I do.

Zhao Yaning himself did not expect that the first outstanding performance of his national team would come so quickly.

In the game against Eindhoven, Zhao Yaning got the chance to play again.In the 65th minute, Zhao Yaning replaced Li Xiaoping, who was facing up, and played on the right side. As many as six people were replaced with him, including the goalkeeper.Zhao Yaning understands that the head coach has begun to allow the main players to choose to save energy and save energy for the World Cup.

But in this game, Zhao Yaning's mood was very different.

Although the report had been changed a lot when it was published, there was still sarcasm and ridicule towards him inside and outside the words.The reporter named Ji Yuyang made it clear that choosing a young player to enter the national team is just a hype. Giving up an experienced international player for a young player will definitely cause harm to the national team.To adopt such a selection policy in such a major event, the head coach has a huge responsibility.

What he said was clean. Many Zhang Yuan revealed in private that he gave reporters a lot of money, but the main idea was still that he didn't trust Zhao Yaning.

Then show them in action.

When Zhao Yaning was on the court, he was stunned by the same thought. For some reason, he felt that he could perform well in this game.It's one thing to play against a national team, it's another to play against a club.Although Eindhoven is a strong team in Europe and even defeated Dortmund in the Bundesliga in the UEFA Cup in 02, they did not come with a full main lineup, otherwise they would not have led by only one goal after more than 60 minutes .Against them, Zhao Yaning felt that he was still confident.

And what made him even more happy was that they were all substitutes anyway, so the cooperation would definitely not be very good, and it wouldn't be a big deal if he did more alone.

And the game was just as he thought, the ball passed to his feet after several passes.Zhao Yaning looked up at his position on the field, suddenly started, and rushed towards the bottom line.

So fast!This is the first reaction of PSV left-back Bauma.

But if it is faster, Booma has always been afraid of it.He also accelerated and rushed over, not only immediately got stuck in the position where he could only cut in, but also leaned towards Zhao Yaning.Bao Ma believes that as long as he leans on Zhao Yaning, he can affect the dribbling of Zhao Yaning, who is not outstanding in stature.

But things are not that simple.The moment the two met, Zhao Yaning suddenly stopped with a sudden step, and his left foot stood still, as if he was about to kick a cross.As expected, Bao Ma immediately flew to block his passing line, but Zhao Yaning suddenly retracted his raised right foot, kicked the ball from behind his left foot, and turned around, brushed past Bao Ma, and headed towards the middle. go.

be cheated.Bauma reacted immediately.But the step he just took was already a big step in order to block it, even now it's too late to close it.He could only turn his head in vain, watching Zhao Yaning run towards the middle. On the way, he made a light change and passed the central defender, and then he shot violently.

But the ball was saved by the goalkeeper.

Zhao Yaning frowned slightly.Although there were waves of applause from around, he was still dissatisfied because he didn't hit the ball.

If it weren't for his poor passing skills, he could have made a direct cross with a flower arrangement.If it weren't for his poor shooting skills, he could have played more tricky angles.If it weren't for the lack of tacit understanding between him and his teammates and the problem of running position, he could have passed the ball to Dazhen next to him.

All the problems that were usually covered up by the skillful cooperation in the club have all emerged.The national team's game is really not easy to play.
