The green devil

Zhao Yang's appearance in the stands of the UEFA Champions League final naturally aroused speculation from reporters and fans, and put a lot of pressure on the Espanyol team.

But all of this has nothing to do with Zhao Yang for the time being.

After returning to China, almost non-stop, Zhao Yang joined the national team and began to prepare for the warm-up match of the top 12 in the World Cup qualifiers in Asia.

In the previous top 12 games, the Hua Guo team had a bad start and was almost eliminated. After a wave of victories, they successfully won the second place in the group and reached the top [-].

Perrin also reached the top 16, saved his reputation and consolidated his precarious position.

But the top [-] is just a quiz for the Hua Guo team and Perrin.

The top 12 matches in Asia starting in September will be the final test.

Break out of the top 12, enter the World Cup in Russia, and become a hero in football history; if you are eliminated, the players, coaches and even the Football Association must bear the responsibility of the fans across the country.

Therefore, the Hua Guo team started the first stage of preparation and training on May 5. This is also the earliest national team in Asia.

The training time for the first stage is not long, only one week and two warm-up matches.

There are 26 people selected for the Huaguo training team this time. In addition to the players who participated in the top 40, there are also four newcomers.

The four rookies are Wang Tong from Shandong Dongyue Team, Zhang Ning from Netherlands Vitesse, and Hu Tian from Tianjin TEDA.Shi Ke in Shanghai.

In fact, the main player coach Pei Lan is investigating is Zhang Ning.

With Zhao Yang's success with Espanyol and the national team, Perrin has a high regard for all players who have played overseas.

Just like Zhang Dong who came back from La Liga, Pei Lan still recruited him into the national team and entrusted him with important tasks.

After Zhao Yang entered the Huaguo team, although the Huaguo team won the top 40 qualifiers, the strength of the top 40 teams is too weak. The top 12 is the real test. The Huaguo team wants to enter the World Cup finals However, relying on Zhao Yang alone is not enough, we must continue to discover talents.

Hu Tian, ​​Wang Tong, Shi Ke, and Zhang Ning were selected under this background.

The location of the training camp is Huangdao Football School in Hebei Province.

Due to going to Italy to watch the Champions League final, Zhao Yang arrived one day later than his teammates.

Xu Bing personally drove Zhao Yang to the gate of Huangdao Football School in his Land Rover.

I don't know where the fans got the news, or they have been waiting here since yesterday.

At the entrance of Huangdao Football School, there were nearly [-] fans and reporters waiting for Zhao Yang's arrival.

As soon as the car stopped and Zhao Yang hadn't gotten out of the car, the fans surrounded the car with a whoosh, shouting around the car.

"Zhao Yang, Zhao Yang, Zhao Yang..."

Obviously, the news that Xu Bing sent Zhao Yang to Zhao Yang has already been known by the fans.

Zhao Yang frowned and said, "Brother Xu, how did the fans know I'm here?"

When Zhao Yang returned to China, he was enthusiastically welcomed by the fans who picked him up at the airport, and it took him more than an hour to leave.

Worried about being "loved" by the fans again, Zhao Yang came to report in Xu Bing's car, but he did not escape the "claw" of the fans.

Xu Bing smiled wryly and said, "I just mentioned to Xiao Ji from the company that I was going to Huangdao. I guess this kid revealed it, but that's fine, otherwise our superstar wouldn't have any reputation at all."

"I don't want this card, okay, brother Xu, you go back, I'm going to report."

Zhao Yang took a deep breath, opened the door and got out of the car.

In an instant, an unknown number of fans crowded in front of them, their eyes were full of jerseys, footballs, flowers and microphones stretched out.

Seeing Zhao Yang surrounded by fans, how could Xu Bing leave alone.

He got out of the car quickly, trying to help Zhao Yang separate and block the fans in front of him.

Although Xu Bing was strong and strong, but there were so many fans, Xu Bing kept pushing and shouting, but he couldn't make Zhao Yang move forward.

Zhao Yang couldn't move, so he had to stand where he was and sign autographs for the fans.

Fortunately, the security guard at the gate of Huangdao Football School saw the commotion here, and hurried over to help, and then took Zhao Yang into the football school hotel.

In the past, the Huaguo team lived in five-star hotels in the city, but the head coach Peilan believes that staying in a hotel on campus, players don’t need to take a bus, the training ground is downstairs, and the gym is also in the hotel, which is more conducive to daily life. Training, so I gave up the five-star hotel arranged by the organizer.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when Zhao Yang arrived, and the players were training, but the team leader Li Gang had already been waiting at the hotel.

"Xiao Zhao, I'm finally waiting for you."

Seeing Zhao Yang, Li Gang snatched Zhao Yang's luggage enthusiastically, "Go, I'll take you to your room to rest."

The team arranged for Zhao Yang a quiet and sunny single room, and only Zhao Yang lived alone, which was the only one in the whole team.

But Zhao Yang can afford this special treatment.

Zhao Yang was definitely not able to train with his teammates due to the exhausting journey. After Li Gang chatted with Zhao Yang, he asked him to rest for a while. When the team's training was over, Pei Lan might come over to talk to him.

Although Zhao Yang didn't feel tired and slept in the car for more than half an hour, he would not refuse Li Gang's kindness.

After Li Gang left, Zhao Yang lay on the bed and chatted with his girlfriend Gao Han.

Returning to China from Spain, Zhao Yang didn't even stay at home for half a day, and rushed directly to Huangdao, so he didn't have time to meet Gao Han at all.

It is conceivable that Gao Han's heart must be full of resentment.

Zhao Yang comforted Gao Han, and told her a few embarrassing things in Barcelona to make Gao Han happy.

Almost an hour later, the Hua Guo team's training ended, and the players returned to the hotel one after another.

Teammates who were good friends with Zhao Yang knew that Zhao Yang was coming, and they all came to Zhao Yang's room to say hello and blow water.

The captain Zheng Zhi gave Zhao Yang a bear hug, "It's great! My brother! He even won the La Liga Golden Boot! It's so awesome, Ronaldo and Messi were trampled under your feet."

Zhao Yang hurriedly said modestly: "Farewell, brother Zhi, Messi is injured this season, Ronaldo is not playing well."

Yang Xudao: "Don't be humble! No matter how bad your performance is, it's Ronaldo. You are the first in Asia to win the Golden Boot of the five major leagues! This is engraved in the annals of history."

Zheng Zhidao: "But compared to the Golden Boot, being able to get the Spaniard into the Champions League is even more awesome. And it's not only famous, but also has huge benefits."

Zhao Yang said with a smile: "My brothers don't praise me anymore. Whether it's the Golden Boot or the Champions League, this is the result of the collective efforts of the teammates. I can't do it alone."

Yang Xu said: "Stop praising Xiao Yang, you'd be ashamed to praise him any more."

Zheng Zhidao: "The past achievements are in the past. The most important thing now is to play well in the national team's game and reach the World Cup finals. We are all heroes. If we lose, we will be scolded to death by the fans."

Zhao Yang said: "What Brother Zhi said is true."

Everyone was chatting. At this time, the head coach Perrin came over with two French assistants.

When Zheng Zhi and other players saw the head coach coming, they all greeted Zhao Yang and went back to their rooms.
