In the locker room, the players and coaches were still celebrating.
Seeing Zhao Yang coming in, almost all the players gathered around.
Some held Zhao Yang's shoulders, some hammered Zhao Yang's chest, and some touched Zhao Yang's head.
After experiencing a life-and-death battle, his teammates became much closer to Zhao Yang than before.
Zheng Zhi put his arm around Zhao Yang's shoulders and sighed: "Xiao Yang, without you today, we would be in danger."
Hao Jundao: "It's so reassuring to have a forward who can score goals."
Zhao Yang said modestly: "The ball that Brother Cheng saved was also crucial. Brother Hao's passing was great. Today's defense line's contribution is no worse than that of our forward line."
At this time, the team leader Li Gang came over, took Zhao Yang's hand, and laughed loudly: "Everyone has contributed to today's victory, but Xiao Yang has the greatest contribution, with three goals, each of which is crucial."
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "It's because your brothers passed the ball well, and I just made the last-minute kick."
Hao Jun said: "It turns out that this is also the case. When we played against the Hong Kong team, they didn't score a single goal with forty kicks."
Hao Jun has a bit of a straight-male personality, which made Yang Xu, Wu Lei and other forwards a little disgraceful, but it was hard to say anything, after all, what Hao Jun said was true.
Zheng Zhi smiled and said: "Don't be humble. We are a whole. Winning is definitely the result of everyone's hard work. Losing is everyone's fault."
Li Gang said: "Yes, Zheng Zhi is right. In today's game, we are like a whole, but the top 40 is just a small test, and the top 12 below are the final test."
After everyone had finished their greetings, the head coach Peilan, who was talking to the assistant coaches, came over, held Zhao Yang's hand tightly with one hand, gave a thumbs up with the other hand, and said: "Zhao! You are today's hero."
Zhao Yang immediately started a business exchange with Peilan, saying, "The main reason is that the coach's tactics are properly arranged and he can respond quickly on the spot."
After hearing this, Peilan beamed and said: "No matter how good the tactics are, they must be executed by the players. Zhao, the team will continue to rely on you in the top 12 competition."
Zhao Yang smiled and said: "This is my unshirkable responsibility."
Perland said: "Not bad, not bad. Let's go back and play hard in the league, try to get into the Champions League, and then come back and play in the top 12 with peace of mind."
Zhao Yang said: "Thank you coach for your encouragement. I will definitely live up to coach's expectations."
Peland said: "Come on, come with me to the press conference. The reporters are definitely looking forward to your attendance."
When we arrived at the press conference hall, reporters were already full, waiting for the arrival of coaches from both sides.
After Perrin and Zhao Yang arrived, it took a while before Qatar head coach Carreño arrived belatedly.
The game was ugly. Carreño was in a bad mood. When he came in, his face looked as gloomy as rain, and he did not shake hands with Perrin.
The first person to speak was the victorious Chinese team.
Perrin summarized the game.
The match was won, the Chinese team survived a desperate situation and successfully reached the top 12. The conflict between Perrin and the Chinese Football Association also disappeared.
Perlan first thanked the Chinese Football Association and all parties for their strong support.
"I would like to thank the Chinese Football Association, Chang'an, and the Chinese fans for their strong support and providing us with a lot of conveniences. I also want to say thank you to my team, including the coaching staff, because they
They have provided a lot of support in terms of travel, information collection, etc. Without their support, our work would not go as smoothly."
"I would also like to thank our players. They have sacrificed a lot in these games, especially in this game. At the last moment of the first half, we were once in a very dangerous situation. It was they who gritted their teeth and withstood the pressure and were able to win.
The final victory."
Perlan then praised Zhao Yang by name, "I have always said that the Chinese team lacks good forwards. The reason why we are in the dangerous situation of qualifying in the last round is because we cannot turn opportunities into goals. Zhao Yang
The emergence of Zhao Yang has made up for our shortcomings. Zhao Yang is a world-class forward who has the ability to solve the opponent's defense. With such a forward, we are full of confidence in the top 12 games ahead."
After Perrin finished his speech, Qatar head coach Carreño said: "We did not play our own style in this game. Our players underestimated the opponent and gave the opponent too many opportunities."
"We have qualified early. The victory or defeat does not have any practical significance to us, but we cannot lose like this. This disastrous defeat has lost our honor and dignity. This is unacceptable to me and the fans."
"The top 40 games have passed. We played perfectly in the previous games. The result of being first in the group is the result of our joint efforts. The draw for the top 12 will begin soon. I hope we can be in a group with the Chinese team again.
.”
Next is Zhao Yang’s speech.
Although the press conference is the coach's position, Zhao Yang is an exception. As a player, he is still the one who attracts the most attention here.
Zhao Yang talked about his views on this game.
"First of all, Qatar is our strongest opponent or even our only opponent in the top 40. We finally achieved a big victory in this game, which greatly improved our confidence."
"Through more than 20 years of professional development, our football concepts and techniques and tactics have still improved. Today's victory is just a normal performance. We have been unable to reach the World Cup finals in these years. The bigger reason is that
Psychologically, our psychology is too fragile. Just like today's game, if we can perform normally, we are actually capable of fighting against Japan and South Korea."
Next is a question-and-answer session for reporters.
A Chinese reporter asked Carreño directly, "If this game is played normally, can Qatar win?"
Carreño said displeased: "Football is round and cannot be assumed. However, if the game is played normally, at least we will not lose."
What Carreño said may be a bit absolute, which made Perrin unhappy.
Especially in his concluding speech, Carreño said that he hopes to be in a group with the Chinese team again, which is clearly a naked contempt for the Chinese team.
Next, when a reporter asked Perrin who he hoped to be drawn in the draw, Perrin said: "We are a team in the fourth tier and are not qualified to pick our opponents. The first three tiers are all strong enemies, so whoever is drawn will have to fight. The next two teams are not qualified to pick opponents."
As for the other teams, I actually hope to draw Qatar, after all, I am familiar with them.”
Perrin's words made Carreño so angry that he stood up and walked away without taking any more questions from the reporters below.
Without the head coach of the other team, the press conference would have little meaning. Perlan and Zhao Yang answered a few questions and then dispersed.
