Chapter 117 The first training session of the national team
There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Zhao Yang held his first training session after joining the national team.
Naturally, there is no confidentiality when it comes to the match against Bhutan, and the team's training is open to fans and reporters.
After losing to Qatar, there was an atmosphere of despair in the country, and few fans came to watch the team's training.
But Zhao Yang's arrival once again brought hope to Chinese fans.
For the first time, nearly 3,000 fans came to this training session, as well as hundreds of reporters, including not only Chinese reporters, but also foreign reporters.
Obviously Zhao Yang's influence now extends beyond the scope of China.
After the defeat in Doha, Perrin has been in a bad mood. He never smiles during training and often gets angry at reporters and players.
Today, Perrin finally had a smile on his face and talked to reporters from time to time.
Although the situation facing the national football team is grim, as long as they win the remaining games, they still have great hope of qualifying as second in the group.
The national football team has many problems, but Perlan believes that the biggest problem is the lack of a top killer who can make the final decision.
The arrival of Zhao Yang, who scored 9 goals in La Liga, not only solved this problem perfectly, but Zhao Yang is also an attacker, and he can also become the sharp knife for the Chinese team to break the deadlock.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Yang is now Peilan's life-saving straw.
In fact, Chinese fans also regard Zhao Yang as a life-saving straw.
After being tied by the provincial team and defeated by Qatar, Chinese fans have lost confidence in Perrin. They believe that Perrin has run out of skills and the only one who can save the national football team is Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang himself didn't know how many people expected him. During training, he was very relaxed. When the fans in the stands shouted his name, Zhao Yang even waved and interacted with the fans.
Against Bhutan, there was no need to practice defense. The fact that Bhutan had two shots on goal was considered an extraordinary performance.
The Huaguo team mainly trains to break through dense defenses, allowing Zhao Yang to become familiar with the Huaguo team's tactics and offensive routines.
After the warm-up and passing and receiving, the coaching staff deliberately lined up eight defensive players in front of the penalty area to simulate the intensive defense of the Bhutanese team, and then asked the players to use tricks such as mid-foot kicks, side crosses and personal breakthroughs to tear apart the opponent.
line of defense.
The fans couldn't get enough of the warm-up activities in the early stages of training. They just wanted to see Zhao Yang's performance in offense.
Seeing the national football team starting offensive and defensive drills, the fans cheered, and reporters also focused their cameras on Zhao Yang.
In competitive sports, food is the original sin.
Zhao Yang joins the national team for the first time. If he wants to win the trust and respect of his teammates, he must show his strength.
The first time he got the ball, Zhao Yang rode his bicycle and rushed towards Zhou Zheng in front of him.
The other players didn't move, they all wanted to see with their own eyes how Zhao Yang could break through Zhou Zheng.
Zhao Yang stepped on four bicycles in a row, his feet felt like stepping on hot wheels, and Zhou Zheng was dizzy.
Zhao Yang suddenly made a dunk to the left, as if he was going to break through from the left. Zhou Zheng immediately moved sideways to the right, trying to block Zhao Yang's path forward.
But Zhao Yang spiked the ball to his left foot, blocked it with the inside of his left foot, bounced it to his right foot, moved his right foot forward, and a fried ball broke through Zhou Zheng's left side.
Zhou Zheng eagerly wanted to turn back, but ended up making a big fork and sitting on the turf.
Meiyuan, who was coming to watch the show, quickly came over to provide defense.
Zhao Yang likes this kind of guy who comes to cover the defense the most. He followed up with another fried ball, swung through the plum garden, moved the ball forward, and followed it up with a tiger-style shot.
Zhao Yang's tiger-style shot was so fierce that goalkeeper Wang Cheng couldn't react in time, and the ball flew past him and into the net.
There was a round of applause in the stands.
Fans used to watch Zhao Yang play on TV, but now they feel even more excited when they watch Zhao Yang play in real life.
Even though it was just a team training, the fans were still shouting excitedly.
Peilan opened his eyes wide, with indescribable joy on his face, and even forgot to applaud.
This is not a life-saving straw, this is a giant ship.
No need for teammates to assist, I can solve it all by myself.
The Chinese national team needs such players so much.
In a football environment like China, it is a miracle that a genius like Zhao Yang can emerge.
Other national team players looked at Zhao Yang and sighed. Being able to score so many goals in a top competition like La Liga is definitely not a wasted reputation.
But how did he develop this skill? It seems that he only went abroad to play football in his junior year.
The training continued, and when Zhao Yang got the ball again, two people from the defensive side came up to double-team him.
Today, Zhao Yang deliberately wanted to show off his strength. Faced with a double-team from two people, he was still abrupt and forced the defensive player to foul before stopping Zhao Yang.
Perrin did not let the players reorganize the offense, but asked Zhao Yang to take the free kick at this position.
The players all looked at Zheng Zhi almost at the same time.
Zheng Zhi is the core of this team and the number one operator of set pieces.
Peilan asked Zhao Yang to take a free kick, obviously because he wanted to see Zhao Yang's free kick level. If the level is high, Zhao Yang may have to take part of the free kick kicking rights in the future.
Zheng Zhi didn't change his expression, and shouted to Zhao Yang with a smile: "Hit him on the third route, and the king's city will be slow to reach the ground."
Zheng Zhi's attitude relieved everyone in the team, including the coaches. There was no room for two tigers in one mountain, and they were worried that Zheng Zhi would be unhappy.
Now it seems that Zheng Zhi can accept Zhao Yang sharing his right to take set kicks.
In fact, Zheng Zhi knew very well that with Zhao Yang's current strength and reputation, if he and Zhao Yang had a conflict, he would definitely be abandoned, because he is already 35 years old, and even if he has residual enthusiasm, he will not be able to perform for long, and
Zhao Yang is only 22 years old, and he will definitely belong to the national team in the future.
In this case, why not form a good relationship with this future leader of the national football team.
Including Yang Xu giving the No. 9 jersey to Zhao Yang, in addition to Xu Bing, Zheng Zhi also did the work of this fellow.
Zhao Yang was admitted to Qizhou Normal University, so he was certainly no fool. He nodded at Zheng Zhi, strode to the ball, and prepared to take the penalty.
Goalkeeper Wang Cheng naturally does not want to be a stepping stone for Zhao Yang. Instead, he wants to prove that he can stop Zhao Yang, who has repeatedly scored in La Liga.
Facing the Chinese Super League goalkeeper, Zhao Yang was even more confident. He barely made a run-up, plucking green onions on dry land, and kicked out a leaf-cutting kick.
Wang Cheng finally saw world-class free kick skills. He watched the arc of the ball go around the wall and was about to save when the ball suddenly dropped and went straight to the lower left corner of the goal.
Fallen leaves chopped! Fallen leaves chopped!
There was another excited cheer in the stands.
Zheng Zhi also came over and patted Zhao Yang on the shoulder, "Beautiful! I can't kick this falling leaf chop."
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "Brother Zheng is so humble. You are also a top free kick expert."
Perrin smiled and said: "Don't be humble, both of you. After the free kick, you two will take the kick. No matter the priority, you can discuss it during the game."
This was the confirmation of the right to take the set kick. Zheng Zhi nodded, and Zhao Yang happily agreed.
An hour later, the training ended successfully. Although Zhao Yang did not integrate into the team, his personal abilities could definitely bring great help to the team. Perlan and the coaching staff were very satisfied.
The fans were also very satisfied. The players all left. They were still discussing in the stands. Everyone was looking forward to the official start of the match against the Bhutanese team.
