Although he didn't know what the relationship between Xu Bing and Yang Xu was, and how he persuaded Yang Xu, Zhao Yang felt that he should go over and thank him.
After taking a shower and changing into casual clothes, Zhao Yang found the room where Yang Xu was.
Yang Xu and Zheng Zhi were in the same room, and they were chatting. When they saw Zhao Yang coming in, they both stood up and warmly greeted Zhao Yang to sit down.
Zhao Yang knew that Yang Xu was from the Northeast, so he didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point: "Brother Yang, I'm here to thank you."
Yang Xu and Zheng Zhi glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhao, why are you so polite? We are not outsiders, we are half fellow villagers. My ancestral home is also from Shandong Province, and I also played for the Taishan team."
Zhao Yang said very sensibly: "I know, when you were on the Taishan team, I was just a freshman and I loved watching you play."
Zheng Zhi smiled and said: "Then when I was in the Taishan team, you were probably still in elementary school."
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "Brother Zheng, I have never seen you play for the Taishan team, but I have seen you play for the Guangzhou team. Your reputation as Asian Footballer is well-deserved."
Zheng Zhi smiled and said to Yang Xu: "Look, this little brother is so good at talking. No wonder he is so comfortable in the Espanyol team."
Yang Xu smiled and said: "Brother Zhi, Xiao Zhao is like a fish in water at Espanyol. He relies on his strength. He scored 9 goals in 11 rounds of La Liga. This is no joke. You have also played in the Premier League and you know how difficult it is."
Zheng Zhidao: "That's right, come on, Xiao Zhao. With 8 more goals, he will surpass Brother Yang Chenchen and become the Chinese player with the most goals in the five major leagues."
Yang Xu smiled and said: "Xiao Zhao, when you didn't come over, Brother Zhi and I were chatting about you and betting on how long it would take for you to surpass Brother Chen."
Zhao Yang said modestly: "My two brothers think highly of me. I can score so many goals because the defenders are not familiar with me."
Yang Xudao: "Xiao Zhao, don't be modest. I'm a forward. Your passing skills and shooting skills are beyond the comparison of ordinary people. I'm afraid there's nothing a defender can do if they know you well. The national team still relies on you to score goals."
Zheng Zhi coughed and said: "Xiao Zhao, before you came, Brother Xu Bing and Xu said hello to me and asked me to take care of you. In fact, with your ability, the coach must be in the palm of his hand, so there is no need for me to take care of you."
, but I am half a fellow from Northeast China and Shandong Province. I am crazy about how old you are, so I will tell you a few words from my heart."
"Brother Zheng, just say it."
Zhao Yang thought to himself, this Xu Bing really has a lot of talent, this Zheng Zhi is the leader of the national team, and he has a high status in the Chinese football world, so he didn't expect to sell him face.
Zheng Zhidao: "When you play in our national team, you won't get the same support as the Espanyol team. You may have to create opportunities yourself."
Zhao Yang nodded and said nothing, but he was thinking in his heart, Brother Zheng said this, it seems that the national team has not been formed yet.
Zheng Zhi continued: "Although the national team has a small number of players, it is still a small arena. It is not as simple as foreign teams. If it is not handled well, it may stumble you at some point."
Zhao Yang nodded silently. The success of the national team was indeed very deep, but Zhao Yang was not worried. With his current fame and status, there might not be anyone who is short-sighted and might cause obstacles for him.
Zheng Zhi added: "Last and most important, if you join the national team, you must be mentally strong, otherwise you will collapse."
Yang Xudao: "Xiao Zhao, don't look at how enthusiastic the fans are towards you now. Let me tell you, once you don't play well in the game, the fans will turn against you faster than reading a book."
Zheng Zhidao: "Look at Messi, he is awesome. Because the national team's performance is not good, he is not welcomed by fans in China."
As a former Chinese fan, Zhao Yang knows how powerful the fans are. If you are not mentally strong, you will be scolded by the fans and collapse.
Although Zhao Yang is very confident in himself, football is a team sport, and you cannot win the game just by being good on your own.
Zheng Zhi saw Zhao Yang's serious expression and said with a smile: "Don't worry so much, at least we don't have to worry about being scolded."
Yang Xu laughed and said: "Yes, Xiao Zhao has chosen a good team to start his national team career. If we play against Bhutan the day after tomorrow, you must start with a hat trick."
Zheng Zhidao: "Score as many goals as you can. Don't forget, we were eliminated by Kuwait on goal difference back then."
Zhao Yang didn't know much about Bhutan. It was through the last match between the national football team and Bhutan that he learned that Bhutan also plays football. He said: "My two brothers have played against Bhutan. How is Bhutan? What can it do?"
Compared to West C?”
Zheng Zhi said contemptuously: "Xiao Zhao, you are too flattering to Bhutan. It would be great if they can have a university team level."
Seeing that Zhao Yang didn't understand his opponent, Yang Xu told Zhao Yang about the Bhutanese team in detail.
This is the first time for the Bhutan team to compete in the World Cup qualifiers. Even in the Asian Cup qualifiers, they only played twice and were eliminated early.
In previous matches against teams such as Kuwait, Hong Kong, Myanmar and Yemen, Bhutan lost with extremely disparate scores.
There are no professional players in Bhutan. The most famous player in the team is Chendrok Gyaltsen. He is known as the "Bhutan Ronaldo" and once played for the reserve team of the Thai club Buriram United. Almost all other Bhutanese players are from the government
Department staff, workers, students, some students are even in high school.
The Bhutanese team also has no fixed training time, and players can only train after get off work and after class.
Before participating in the World Qualifiers, the Bhutanese national team had zero international points and ranked at the bottom. In the previous qualifiers, Bhutan defeated Sri Lanka in both home and away rounds, thus achieving a rise from the bottom of the world rankings to 159th.
A significant improvement. This is also their highest ranking in history. Now after 5 rounds of the group stage, they have 0 wins, 5 losses and 0 points, ranking at the bottom, scoring 3 goals and conceding 33 goals.
Zhao Yang was dumbfounded when he heard this. He knew a little bit about the strength of the Bhutanese team. Because there was too little information about this team, so comparing them with West Division III, it seemed that they were only at the level of a school team.
Zhao Yang chatted with Yang Xu and Zheng Zhi for a while, and then went back to his room to take a rest and get rid of the jet lag.
But as soon as Zhao Yang arrived in the room, Zhang Dong came. Zhang Dong returned home later than Zhao Yang, and he just arrived now.
Zhang Dong said: "Xiaoyang, I'm late. Let's go out to have something to eat tonight, and I'll show you some of the guys."
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "Forget it today, you just came back, so you should take a rest and get rid of the jet lag."
Zhang Dong yawned and said, "That's right. I'm exhausted after flying for so long. Then let's do it tomorrow."
Zhang Dong was indeed a little tired. After saying a few words to Zhao Yang, he went back to his room to rest.
But Zhao Yang still had no time to rest. As soon as Zhang Dong left, Zhang Peng came with several players from Lu Province.
The country of China attaches great importance to the country. Zhao Yang is from Lu Province. When he comes, several fellow villagers will definitely come to see their little brother.
They are all from Lu Province. Zhang Peng and Zhao Yang are also Qizhou. There are more topics, and they speak more casually. After a few minutes, they have begun to call brothers and brothers.
Zhang Peng and others knew that Zhao Yanggang was tired, so they didn't bother him much. After chatting for more than half an hour, they all went back.
