The season is over, but this does not mean that Yi Zhe can have some leisure. He just went home to rest for three days. Although he disappeared from social media in the past few days, news about him began to intensify and flood everyone in the country. of social media.
"The latest training list for the national team's away game against Australia has been announced. Local players playing in the Chinese Super League have begun to gather at the Xianghe training base. They still need to wait for the overseas legions to join the national team. The players who just won the Champions League with Real Madrid Yi Zhe should be the last player to report to the national team, and it is said that the national team coaching staff specifically approved his vacation in consideration of his schedule."
"The national team is once again standing at the crossroads of history. If it can return with an away victory and Qatar does not lose to the Japanese team, the Chinese team will advance to the finals of the Russian World Cup! Historical moments also require relying on overseas players, especially It was Yizhe's performance. The only suspense is whether the Chinese team chooses to let their opponents go in the away game and return to the home court in August to lock in the qualifications for the finals? The atmosphere in Australia's away game may not be able to reproduce that of Wulihe. grand occasion."
This is another theme. The World Cup preliminaries are just around the corner, and the Chinese team is facing the opportunity to stand at the crossroads of history again.
Yi Zhe can't stay at home because his father is more dedicated than him and collects the latest news about various national teams every day even faster than him.
"Son, aren't you a member of the national team's coaching staff? Does that French coach Perrin have any special tactical arrangements?"
"Hey, son, I heard that Zhang Yuning seemed to be injured at the end of the season. Please ask if it's okay. He is still our main forward!"
There were many questions that Yi Zhe couldn't answer. He found that his father's occupational disease was incurable. Fortunately, he set off two days early. One thing his father said was right. He was indeed a member of the national team's coaching staff, but this The secrets are not disclosed to the media now.
He left Chengdu directly and came to the national team training base. Many teammates were there, but Perlan and the coaching staff were a little surprised to see him appear.
"Yi, didn't I specially approve your vacation?"
Yi Zhe smiled softly: "But I miss you, sir."
"This joke is not funny at all, Yi." Peilan frowned. It was obvious that he was more prone to overthinking than Yi Zhe and was a little unable to handle it: "But you came just in time, Yi. Now we are in a lot of trouble."
After Yi Zhe met with his teammates, he realized that there seemed to be more people. He learned from the coaching staff that the national team had recruited a few more players this time and that the team was now full of injured soldiers. Since the domestic Chinese Super League has a year-round competition system, it is currently in the half-season intermission period. In theory, this situation is normal. However, Yi Zhe's lips curled up slightly. It was not easy for these injured players to be able to come to the national team for training. This is probably also the time window for the national team to re-enact history, so every club wants to take advantage of it, so they are very cooperative with the work of the national team.
He looked at the sad-looking Perrin and chuckled in his heart. You, old man, are satisfied. Fortunately, this is not the national team of the past...
The national team is indeed facing a lot of injuries, and at least four players are under the tracking and observation of team doctors, but Yi Zhe is most concerned about Zhang Yuning. For the national team, this forward is truly important.
However, Zhang Yuning was actually fine. The team doctor was using acupuncture and massage to help him complete his rehabilitation. Yi Zhe learned that his injury was almost recovering.
"It's no big deal, Brother Zhe, don't worry, this game is so important, we have to catch up no matter what!"
Yi Zhe looked at Zhang Yuning's muscles that were so strong that he was ashamed of himself, and said with a smile: "Don't do it, take good care of it, you can still win without me, your career is still very long, for a fight The game wasn’t worth it.”
Zhang Yuning chuckled: "You said that I, Brother Zhe, learned from you."
It's hard for Yi Zhe to tell the truth. I have a plug-in. How can we compare?
And he really doesn't want Zhang Yuning to play with injuries. The national team's chronic problem of weak forwards is more difficult to solve than the lack of players in the midfield. It's hard to find a solution for the forward line. Yi Zhe doesn't want him to play with injuries like Dong Fangzhuo in the Olympics. In the end, he fell like a meteor and was infamous for the rest of his life.
However, the injury situation of the national team is still very serious. Zhang Linpeng, Hao Junmin and Gao Lin are all injured, and they are the ones with no hope of playing in a short time. Moreover, they are important players in the central axis from the backcourt to the frontcourt. Players, it was difficult for Perrin to choose, but he still had the pain to remove three people from the squad at the last moment when the national team left for the away game.
In the past, this kind of news would immediately trigger pessimistic and wailing public opinion, but this time it was completely the opposite. Everyone was in high spirits. This was the first time that Yi Zhe encountered a situation where the momentum of sending off the plane was stronger than picking it up. A large group of fans The airport is almost full.
"Come on Team China!"
"Come on Yi Zhe!"
"Fuck that street kid kangaroo to death!"
A group of students also came to send flowers to the national team, which surprised Yi Zhe even more. Not to mention that this was just before the game. In China, this kind of configuration is definitely hero treatment. Has the national team now gained a positive image?
"Brother Yi Zhe, you have to work hard, you must work hard!"
A little brother quickly ran over and put the flowers into Yi Zhe's arms, then looked at him with pleading eyes and bowed three times.
Yi Zhe quickly helped this innocent little brother up. If he didn't show an attitude, he would be sent away completely. But he was not wrong. The current national team indeed has a positive image, a model of rising from the trough, but it still needs one victory before it can return to the glorious moment of its dream.
…
Brisbane.
Coming here again two years later is definitely a blessed place for the Chinese team, but now Yi Zhe can feel a very different scenery, with his themed posters everywhere on the light poles.
"beat yi (beat yi!)"
When he participated in the Asian Cup two years ago, Yi Zhe was just a fledgling, far less impressive than he is now. But now he is surrounded by a group of enthusiastic local fans, asking for autographs at the hotel door, and even a girl with an absolutely perfect figure is crazy about him. Push forward.
This scene made the teammates around him feel helpless, especially Zhang Yuning, who was younger than Yi Zhe, and said with envy: "Brother Zhe's treatment is too good, he has so many fans in Tu'ao... Hey, the same We are traveling in Europe, so we are kind of lonely."
Zhang Xizhe and Sun Ke walked up with smiles.
"Want this kind of treatment? First of all, you have to start in La Masia! Otherwise, you won't be able to seize the opportunity!"
Zhang Xizhe shook his head slightly. He thought of his short time at Wolfsburg. At that time, everyone seemed the same, but the final career trajectory was helpless.
Sun Ke was more open-minded: "You've already been kicked out, young man, sometimes don't just look at God."
For a player like Sun Ke, it was completely unexpected to have the opportunity to study abroad. He is very satisfied to be able to go out and become one of the few representative players in the country.
The pressure on the Chinese team is definitely not small. Due to Yi Zhe's appeal, from the hotel to the training ground, there is a group of regular fans watching the national team every day to cheer. And as domestic "Dragon Team" fans will arrive one after another, the number of people is likely to increase. Even the side of the stadium has become the home court of Chinese media and fans, and all local Australian fans and reporters have been squeezed to the outside.
Unlike two years ago, the enthusiasm before the game was all for Yi Zhe.
As the first Chinese player to stand at the top of world football, his influence has spread perfectly in the Chinese circle, fully demonstrating the influence of football.
This scene put a lot of pressure on the Australian media.
"The Chinese are taking away our home court!"
But the Australian team coach Postkoglu was full of confidence before the game: "Even if the Brisbane Stadium is filled with their fans, we are confident of winning the game. The Chinese team is not that scary. We are the only one in the group who has not lost to them. team, even at their home court.”
Then, unfortunately, his words came true.
This is definitely a spectacle in the history of the national team’s away games. Not only did the momentum completely turn against the visitors, but a group of white-skinned local fans appeared in the area near the Chinese team fans’ stand, with five-star red flags on their faces and holding hands. Yi Zhe's posters support the Chinese team.
This scene before the game made He Wei at the scene completely excited.
"This is the Brisbane Stadium, but now it has become an ocean belonging to the Chinese team. Yi Zhe's influence has also been perfectly penetrated at Australia's home court. All of us are looking forward to a moment of glory tonight, and we have no time. , there is no advantageous location, but we have people and people! Let us wait for the Chinese team together and wish the boys good luck!"
The two sides are still preparing in the locker room, and outside the stadium, a special group of fans are still entering the stadium.
The fifteen-year-old Stephen, with the five-star red flag smeared on his face, was out of tune with the surrounding group of fans wearing Australian national team jerseys. But he has his own reasons for doing this. He has been a big fan of Yi Zhe since he was the "lucky ball boy" of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup two years ago and received a football signed by Yi Zhe with a message. Although he has now jumped up to the U17 echelon of Brisbane Roar and is usually very popular, he is destined to be out of tune with his teammates today. He is here to support his idol today.
"Stephen, last chance, if you still support the Chinese, don't blame me for tearing your face apart!"
A group of children rushed to grab Stephen with their claws and teeth, but Stephen stretched out his broad palm to greet directly in the face. In an instant, he knocked three people over and turned around and ran towards the infield while everyone was stunned.
"A bunch of idiots! Just you? Come after me!"
He ran up to the stands of the local fans who supported Yi Zhe, stood among the fans, raised the football in his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Yi——"
The Chinese team is still in the locker room. Perrin has not finished the tactics, and the rest is Yi Zhe's time.
"I have nothing to say." Yi Zhe shrugged: "Just beat them and it's over, brothers! After all, only by winning the game can our group of people be truly remembered by everyone, so whatever we did before, we will do today." Come on, come on—"
All players and coaching staff stood up and formed a circle in the middle to perform a ceremony belonging to the Chinese team before the game.
】
“Team China—come on!”
…
Although Australia is currently ranked second in the group, it is still in danger of being overtaken by the Japanese team behind them. The home team at home started very fiercely, and it seems that they cannot accept being beaten by the Chinese team in terms of numbers and momentum.
In the opening minute, midfielder Rogic, who plays for Celtic in the Scottish Premier League, launched a long pass directly to the frontcourt. Forward Kruse, who plays for Wolfsburg, instantly overtook the two central defenders Mei Fang and Ren Hang. Fortunately, Yi Zhe struggled to catch up and interfered in time at the critical moment, and the opponent's kick went over the crossbar from close range.
"Chinese team, dangerous, oh!
!
"
The two former Wolfsburg teammates looked at each other, and Yi Zhe chuckled: "I heard that you have become the main force at Wolfsburg. No wonder Wolfsburg can only avoid relegation now!"
Cruze's expression was ugly with embarrassment and anger, and he stood there with his head bowed.
"Huh? Kruse! Is Yi Zhe lecturing his teammates at Wolfsburg? Hahaha!"
The first wave of offense has already shown the opponent's strength. Midfielder Jedinak, who plays for Aston Villa, has an absolute advantage in body. When the Chinese team's goal kick was taken, he held Zheng Zhi and Yi Zhe in the midfield at the same time. The strong momentum of the challenge for the top passed the ball, but Yi Zhe chased back in the next second, completed a one-on-one tackle from Rogic's feet, and handed the ball to Zhang Xizhe.
Hao Junmin did not come to the away game with the team, and Zhang Xizhe finally got a chance under Peilan.
Although he didn't even have many chances to play in the national team and was considered the worst off among the Liuyang Gang, Zhang Xizhe raised his eyes and quickly saw the space in front of him. With Yi Zhe running forward, he opened up the defense. A diagonal pass directly tore through the opponent's defense laterally and passed to left back Jiang Zhipeng, who was running in at high speed in the middle. This kick instantly accelerated the Chinese team's attack.
"Wonderful pass! Zhang Xizhe——"
Jiang Zhipeng passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle. Zhang Yuning faced Sainsbury's header in the middle to grab the point. The ball flew towards the dead center of the goal. Matthew Ryan made a flying save. The Chinese fans in the stands almost jumped up collectively.
"Header!
! Zhang Yuning——"
Unfortunately, the ball missed the goal in the end.
"Almost, Zhang Yuning, what a pity, it seems that he is recovering well."
The Chinese fans in front of the TV felt pity, but soon another piece of good news came simultaneously on the domestic Internet.
"Damn it, Qatar is ahead of little Japan!"
In a match that kicked off an hour earlier than the Chinese team, Qatar unexpectedly took the lead over the Japanese team.
This is God's help. Now the Chinese team not only has people and time, but also has the time. The faces of the fans in front of the TV are turning red. Now they can really look at themselves.
