On the afternoon of July 23, Kunming Stadium.

The first round of the second round of the World Cup Asian Qualifiers Qualifiers, China vs. Laos.

This is the first qualifier for the Chinese team to compete for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. It was a good start, and it happened to be late July. Therefore, although the opponent is not strong, Queiroz still recalled all international players.

In this game, the Chinese team still used a 433 formation. The goalkeeper was Wang Dalei, Sun Xiang, Feng Xiaoting, Zheng Zhi and Zhang Linpeng on the defense line, Zhou Haibin dragged the back in the midfield, Hao Junmin and Chen Tao partnered, and Yang Yang, Gao Lin and Wu Lei in the frontcourt trident.

After joining Dortmund, Chen Tao's position was not solid. In order to compete for more opportunities to play, he had to retreat his position. Now he looks more like a midfielder in the midfield because Klopp felt that he lacked speed and impact on the wing.

Queros obviously thinks the same, especially after Wu Lei performed well in Ajax, he made decisive adjustments, dragging Chen Tao back to the midfield, partnered with Hao Junmin, pushed Wu Lei out and reorganized the trident.

Letting Zhou Haibin play as a single midfielder also proves Queiros' determination to attack in this game, which is to attack with all his strength.

The first shot of the game came from Laos, but it did not create a threat.

The away team started the game and was obviously hoping to disrupt the rhythm of the Chinese team, but the risks were also very high, especially when the gap between strength and weakness was obvious.

In the fourth minute, the Chinese team's front court pressing worked. Chen Tao intercepted the ball and quickly moved to the right. The Chinese team quickly launched a counterattack. Wu Lei passed the low pass from the right to the back point. Yang Yang followed up and volleyed directly, piercing through the Lao team's goal.

Then the Chinese team began to attack wildly, creating threats continuously, but it was not until the 30th minute that the Chinese team scored again. After Yang Yang got the ball on the left, he attracted the attention of the defensive ball and cut in, and passed the ball with his right foot to the goal. Gao Lin followed up and headed the ball to the goal, 2-0.

At the end of the first half, Zhang Linpeng made a cross from the right, Gao Lin shook his head, scored again, three to zero, and the Chinese team was basically sure to win.

After the second half of the game, in the 51st minute, the Chinese team made a beautiful offensive cooperation, passed one continuous kick and sent it to Gao Lin's feet in the penalty area. Gao Lin knocked back, and Chen Tao followed up and calmly pushed the shot, making a four-to-zero.

Two minutes later, the Chinese team played beautiful cooperation again on the right, Hao Junmin made a wonderful pass, Chen Tao broke away from the defensive player and passed the bottom line, Wu Lei quickly rushed to the bottom line and knocked back, Gao Lin easily followed up and hit, five to zero.

Gao Lin performed a hat trick!

In the 72nd minute, Yang Yang and Hao Junmin played a two-by-three consecutive exciting cooperation. After Yang Yang broke into the penalty area, he calmly shot and made a shot, six to zero.

In the 81st minute, Sun Xiang made a cross from the left, Hao Junmin volleyed and scored again, 7-0.

In the 87th minute, Zhang Linpeng passed the penalty area on the right, Gao Lin headed the ball, and Chen Tao followed up and scored a shot, 8-0.

A minute later, Hao Junmin shot from the left rib and once again broke the Laos goal, 9 to zero.

In the end, the Chinese team defeated Laos with nine goals with excellent performances from the frontcourt offensive players.

But after the game, many international players and head coach Queros, including Yang Yang, repeatedly stated that his opponents are not strong and this big victory cannot prove anything.

...

On the evening of the 28th, the second round of the two sides was held in Vientiane, Laos.

Queiroz made adjustments to the team's lineup this time. With the fact that he was basically sure to win in the first round, he began to arrange a large number of substitutes to play.

The goalkeeper Yan Junling, who just transferred to the Eredivisie Ajax this season, won, Wu Xi, Cui Peng, Zhang Chengdong, Zhang Xizhe, Zhao Xuri and other players all appeared in the lineup.

After several years of development, the Chinese team's overseas study team has become even larger. Although there is a precedent for Sun Xiang to return to China, Chinese players' overseas study has formed a trend, and many players even would rather play in a low-level league abroad than return to China easily.

For example, Mei Fang, a central defender who was recruited by Queros for the first time, also partnered with Du Wei in this game.

Mei Fang was a French League Two team in Strasbourg who studied abroad in 2008. Then he went to the Bruges youth team in A.A. They were recognized. He was only eighteen years old at that time.

Influenced by Chen Tao's outstanding performance at Anderlecht, Bruges also had a great acceptance of Chinese players, so Mei Fang got the opportunity to stay in Bruges, and the central defender began his European trip to overseas.

Excellent position sense, strong defensive ability, calm mind, fast speed, good overall game ability, and certain long pass ability, these are all Mei Fang's advantages.

But Bruges is a famous strong team in Belgium and a regular visitor in Belgium's European competition. The competition within the team is extraordinary. Mei Fang is not famous in China. It is not easy to make a name for a team like Bruges. From 2008 to 2010, he played for the youth team.

It was not until the second half of last season that the Bruges first team experienced a defensive crisis. Mei Fang seized the opportunity, rushed into the first team in one fell swoop, and began to gain opportunities and gradually gained a foothold. However, the new season is still facing cruel competition.

Yang Yang recognized Mei Fang when he joined the team. Although he was not familiar with Mei Fang before, he was playing football in Europe. He naturally heard about Mei Fang and asked about his situation with concern. Mei Fang said something that touched him at that time.

"The strength gap between me and Bruges' first-team players is still very big, but I won't give up easily. Even if I really can't gain a foothold in Bruges, I will still continue to strive to stay in Europe to play football."

Yang Yang was very sure of Mei Fang's idea and promised that he would give him the best of his ability when the time came, and encouraged him.

Bruges is a regular visitor to European games, and his overall strength is also the best in Belgium. Looking at European football, European football is also a very strong team. If you can't play in such a team, it does not mean that you have no chance in other teams.

"Competitive sports are about being competitive. No matter how strong a team meets a strong opponent, they must dare to fight with their opponents. No matter how difficult the environment a player faces, they must strive for self-improvement. As long as they continue to challenge and break through themselves, they will definitely succeed in the end."

Yang Yang's words that encouraged Mei Fang were unanimously recognized by his national teammates. Any player who has studied abroad knows that it is very, very difficult for Chinese players to succeed in the European League. Everyone must make hard work that ordinary people cannot imagine.

During the whole process, as long as there is a slight slackness, it will be thrown away immediately.

Subsequently, the Chinese team beat Laos 7-0 in Vientiane, Deng Zhuoxiang and Yu Han Dynasty both scored twice, and Mei Fang also took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to score the first national team goal in his career.

…………

…………

The Chinese team defeated Laos with a total score of 16 to 0 in two rounds and successfully reached the top 20 games. Queiros' team showed strong offensive firepower, especially in the second round, which was achieved without overseas internationals such as Yang Yang, Gao Lin, Chen Tao and Wu Lei, which proves Queiros's ability to train in this area.

The domestic media also unanimously praised it, firmly believing that the national team will definitely be able to enter the Brazilian World Cup this time, and even have the opportunity to go further in the Brazilian World Cup and achieve better performance.

In the subsequent draws of the top 20 games, the Chinese team was also lucky, drawing Iraq, Jordan and Singapore.

Domestic public opinion was in an uproar again, and the media and fans celebrated this lottery draw, believing that the Chinese team had basically entered the top ten games ahead of schedule. With a world-class superstar like Yang Yang, it would not be a problem for the Chinese team to enter the World Cup again, and public opinion began to become a little overly optimistic and even arrogant.

After playing Laos, other international players have left the national team and returned to the club to report that a warm-up match against Jamaica on August 10 will be basically composed of domestic players, and only Yang Yang is still in China, waiting to meet with Real Madrid.

After the lottery results came out, Yang Yang repeatedly warned everyone not to repeat the same mistakes when interviewed by authoritative domestic media.

"I think we should not be overly optimistic at this stage. Of course, we should be confident that we have the strength to enter the World Cup, but we should not over-underestimate every opponent. We need to pay attention to every game and every opponent so that we have the opportunity to enter the top ten and enter the Brazilian World Cup."

Yang Yang also mentioned Queiros, saying that Queiros coached not short, and his transformation of the national team was also very successful. This time he played against Laos, he clearly felt the changes in the national team. He firmly believed that under Queiros' coach, the overall strength of the Chinese team can be further improved.

In addition, Yang Yang also affirmed Queiros' achievements in promoting young players, because there have been many young players in this national team, and Queiros also boldly valued them.

Just like Wu Lei, he is still young now, but in the Brazil World Cup three years later, he should be able to play in the teams in the four major leagues and will definitely provide great help to the team.

National team head coach Queros also affirmed Yang Yang's words, saying that everyone must have a clear understanding and he himself firmly believes that he can lead the Chinese team into the Brazil World Cup.

...

When Yang Yang was fighting in the national team, Real Madrid returned from the United States and played a warm-up match with Berlin team Hertha Berlin in Berlin, Germany. With Ibrahimovic's second goal, he reversed Hertha Berlin three-to-one.

Then Real Madrid challenged Leicester City in the Championship again, and Ibrahimovic made a pass and shot, helping the team defeat Leicester City two-to-one.

Since then, Real Madrid has played five warm-up matches in total and maintained a record of winning. Ancelotti's coaching was very smooth, especially the scenes presented in these five warm-up matches, which makes people see Ancelotti's transformation of this Real Madrid team.

After fighting Leicester City, Real Madrid immediately set off and took a special plane to China.

Yang Yang also immediately flew from his home in Beijing to Guangzhou to meet the team.
