Signing, physical examination, passing the talent clause, everything went smoothly.
But when Yang Feng officially joined the Premier League to start a new journey, domestic public opinion was not filled with joy, but a lot of doubts mixed with various blessings and expectations.
It's the national team that's causing trouble...
Just this past June, the national football team participated in three warm-up matches.
Three losses in three games is actually nothing. Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. But the terrible thing is that they lost the third game to the Thai team.
To be precise, they lost 1-5 to Thailand’s youth team at their home court.
At that time, Yang Feng was on vacation...
He played from July last year to May today, and his body has been overloaded to the point of getting hot. Of course, he has no energy to play any more warm-up matches.
But some people don't care about this. They only know that as the best player in China, when the Chinese team was beaten in front of their home, no! have! look! See! you!
As we all know, after 2008, the patriotic enthusiasm of the domestic people has been high. If someone is labeled as "unpatriotic", everyone will shed their skin.
It's just that Yang Feng got along well with the mainstream media, so that the rhythm was not driven up on a large scale, otherwise the reputation would be stink to the sky.
But he will definitely have to participate in the upcoming East Asian Cup.
This event is also a bit magical. The preliminary round was held in July last year, the semi-finals were held in November last year, and the finals were not held until July this year.
The Chinese team has even changed its head coach...
In fact, it’s not surprising that he didn’t understand, because according to convention, this competition should have been completed in one go last year. However, since 2012 coincides with the Olympic year, the organizing committee is worried that the participating countries will regard the East Asian Cup as a warm-up for the Olympics. Only the Chinese Olympic team will be sent to the competition, which doesn’t look good in terms of appearance, so we might as well change it to this year.
And if it is held this year, it will help the team prepare for the 2014 World Cup.
But the question is, what does the 2014 World Cup have to do with the Chinese team?
Of course, complaints are complaints, but when it comes to serving the country, there are so many reasons, just get going.
What is a bit conflicting is that Manchester City will also go to South Africa to participate in the Mandela Invitational Tournament at the same time. This game is also a warm-up nature. Yang Feng originally planned to put his Manchester City debut there, but now he can only postpone it a little longer.
So just after attending Manchester City's debut ceremony, Yang Feng hurried to South Korea.
One thing to say is that even without Yang Feng in the original history, the national football team played very energetically in these games. It was one of the rare bloody games. Although they only won the runner-up, 3-3 Japan, 0-0 South Korea and Australia's score of 4-3 and the tenacious style shown during the game are worthy of the national emblem on the chest.
This means that Yang Feng has caught up with the good times. At least he will not encounter pig teammates in his first appearance with the national team.
The first match was between South Korea and Australia, and the two sides tied 0-0.
The second game was between China and Japan, and Yang Feng started the game with the attention of the entire Asia.
The Chinese team wore the number 9 on Yang Xu before. Now that Yang Feng has entered the national team, of course he has to give it up.
It's not that Yang Feng is overbearing, it's just that the jersey number is written on the profile, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him not to wear it.
There is once again a football craze in the country that is comparable to the 2002 national football team reaching the World Cup.
On the day of the game, the crowd was empty.
Everyone is in front of the TV and computer, waiting for the game to start.
Several TV stations originally wanted to go to Yang Feng's house and record his parents watching the game, but they were rejected by Yang Yunsong and Su Yun who didn't want to be in the limelight.
Schools, factories, bars, shopping malls, thousands of households... Duan Xuan's voice came from almost all machines that could watch the game at the same time.
"This game is the 25th international A-level match between the Chinese and Japanese men's football teams. In the previous 24 matches, both sides won 9 games each, and the other 6 games were tied. However, since March 1998, 1 The Chinese men’s football team has 2 draws and 5 losses in the past 7 meetings between the two sides, with no victory.
As the defending champion of the event, the Chinese team is also the only team among the four participating teams that failed to obtain a ticket to the Brazilian World Cup finals.
The acting coach of the national football team Fu Bo did not arrange the usual 4-2-3-1 formation, but used two forwards.
The Japanese team did not field the strongest lineup. As many as 6 of the starting eleven had no previous experience with the national team. Among them, the 6 players in the midfield and frontcourt had only played 1 game for the national team in total. "
“Let’s look at the starting lineup.
Goalkeeper: 1-Zeng Cheng;
Defenders: 17-Zhang Linfan, 5-Du Wei, 2-Li Xuepeng, 4-Rong Hao;
Midfielder: 16-Huang Bowen, 10-Zheng Zhi, 11-Qu Bo, 8-Wang Yongpo;
Forwards: 18-Gao Lin, 9-Yang Feng. "
Yang Feng replaced Yu Dabao, who is still playing forward. As for the Japanese team, most players have never heard of it. Everyone only knows that Yang Feng's club teammate Uchida Atsuhito did not participate, and no one cares about the rest.
The game started and the Chinese team kicked off.
Men in society always want to fall in love with women who are higher than themselves, and the same is true on the court. Defensive players always want to defeat a few absolute superstars to prove themselves, so almost all Japanese defenders have their eyes on Yang Feng, ready to step on her at any time. Take him to the peak of his life.
"This is Yang Feng's first national team game. He and his teammates only have a few days to practice together... Huh? Yang Feng! Shoot!"
When the game whistle sounded, Yang Feng passed the ball back and went straight to the Japanese team's defense.
The football passed by Zheng Zhi, who passed it diagonally to full-back Zhang Linfan.
Zhang Linfan took two steps forward and made a long pass.
The football flew over half the field and landed in the center of the Japanese team's position.
Japanese midfielder Yuichi Komano was just about to head the ball to clear the ball. Yang Feng, who was rushing forward, suddenly jumped up high and lightly hit the ball, almost riding on his head and flying the ball away.
Komano Yuichi is 1.71 meters tall, and Yang Feng is already more than half a head taller than him. In addition, after such a jump, the visual impact is as if Yang Feng flew over his head.
Komano Yu stayed where he was and doubted his life, while Yang Feng had already caught up with football.
Several defenders quickly gathered around, but Yang Feng suddenly took off his feet and fired a volley at the falling football.
The football flew over a distance of thirty meters and flew into the upper right corner of the goal while the Japanese players were stunned.
"The ball went in! Yang Feng hit a world-wide kick! The Japanese goalkeeper had no reaction, and the Chinese team got a dream start!"
"Yang Feng! Yang Feng! Too strong! The strength is obviously beyond a big margin! This is the top scorer in the Bundesliga! This is the top scorer in the Champions League! This is a world-class superstar! The Japanese team only lasted 20 minutes under his feet. Seconds!"
The national flag was flying in the stands, and bursts of loud singing came from the stands.
Originally it was always "Singing the Motherland", but I don't know when it turned into "Cut the Big Sword on XX's Head".
Several older brothers with national flags painted on their faces beat the drums crazily, but the most eye-catching one was a young man beside them.
This is a talent, he is playing accompaniment with suona...
Yang Feng ran to the sidelines, patted the national emblem on his chest with his right hand, then jumped high and punched hard in the air.
More crazy shouts came from the stands.
"China is victorious!"
There was no suspense in the game. Without Yang Feng, the Chinese team could have beaten the Japanese team 3-3. With Yang Feng, the Japanese second team was directly beaten.
As for the lack of tacit understanding and cooperation between Yang Feng and his teammates? It was said as if there was something between them.
Yang Feng scored twice in the first half of the game, scored with a free kick at the beginning of the second half, and scored again before the end of the game, passing four people in a row.
Yang Feng scored four points, and the Chinese team beat its opponent 5-2.
After Cahill was drawn, he still had 6 points. After the German Cup, he had two points, and now he has four points.
"The Sword Comes"
"You scored the 100th goal of your career and gained 3 points. Current points: 9"
"You broke the 100-goal milestone record in the five major leagues and gained 5 points. Current points: 14."
"You scored the first goal for the national team and gained 3 points. Current points: 17"
"You scored a hat-trick on your debut with the national team and gained 3 points. Current points: 20"
"You scored four goals in your first appearance with the national team and gained 3 points. Current points: 23."
lottery!
Another blue card was drawn, another sky bully.
Salas.
One of the Chilean duo, a header monster with a height of 1.73 meters.
This time the heading skills are also supplemented.
Bounce Cahill, header Salas, just short of S-level running and goal-sense, Yang Feng's offensive attributes have just graduated from the blue card.
After further strengthening, Yang Feng became more comfortable playing against Asian teams, but his scoring was not as exaggerated as in the first game.
Three days later, against South Korea, Yang Feng scored twice with a header and kick to help the Chinese team win 2-0.
Against Australia on July 27, Yang Feng scored a hat trick to help the national team win three games and win the East Asian Cup.
Three games, 9 goals, Yang Feng fully explained what is called dimension reduction attack, and also used practical actions to tell the outside world why he can get the highest salary in the Premier League, and at the same time, it also made some sour "I can do it" The players were completely sober.
What made Yang Feng vomit blood was the reward given by the system later.
"You won the top scorer of the 2013 East Asian Cup and received 1 point. Current points: 4"
"The Chinese team won the 2013 East Asian Cup. You played a decisive role in winning the championship and gained 3 points. Current points: 7"
Dare you give me such generous points because it was your national team debut, and every goal you scored was full of meaning. But in fact, this tournament is very useless, and its weight is about the same as the German Cup?
