The Ball at Your Feet

In the China-Korea match in Seoul, it can be said that the play was extremely boring from head to toe.

Zhao Yaning sat on the court and didn't get any chance to play. He understands the coach's approach very well. The national team has been running in for a long time, and he is just a newcomer. The big game is coming soon, and the coach has no intention to hone the new players. After all, the result of the game is the most important thing.

Therefore, although the coach bragged about his talent and ability in front of the media, and handed over the national team's No. 7 jersey to him, in the end, he was mercilessly pressed on the bench.

And this game finally ended with 0-0. Both sides are in the competition, no one is in the mood to play seriously, and they both play cautiously for fear of injury. Such a game naturally ends in a peaceful manner, which is an end that both sides can accept.

It's just this kind of competition that makes the Chinese media a mess. China and South Korea have not won for 20 years. The Chinese team, which is considered to be the strongest, still cannot win, which is really unacceptable.

But at the same time, the Chinese media kept talking about another thing: A week ago, South Korea defeated Costa Rica 2-0, but now it has a tie with the Chinese team, which shows that the Chinese team beat Costa Rica. There is still much hope.

This simple mathematical logic made Zhao Yaning wonder what to say. The conclusion he got from watching the ball on the sidelines is different. In his opinion, although the Koreans’ skills are not very good, their physical strength and tactical execution capabilities are in place. Their strengths happen to be the weaknesses of the Chinese players. Whether the Chinese players can beat Costa Rica is really a matter of two things.

But at this time, Zhao Yaning received a new message.

He was selected by coach Shen of the National Olympic team and was selected into the National Olympic team of China.

The bottom line of the Chinese National Olympic team is the National Youth Team. Zhao Yaning has been selected to the National Youth Team before, but the National Youth Team has not. Now he can be selected for the Chinese Olympic team, naturally because of his achievements in foreign countries. But this kind of thing also caused another embarrassment: Zhao Yaning had to return to China to participate in the Asian Games in October.

However, he has nothing to complain about. He is not the only one who was selected for the national team and the Olympic team at the same time. Du Wei and Qubo are also players who were selected for the national team and the Olympic team at the same time. In Europe, it is regarded as the default rule that the national team will no longer be selected for the youth team. In China, no one seems to recognize it. Those who are able to work harder are what Chinese players should do to serve the country without daring to spare their lives.

But for Zhao Yaning, the Asian Games games are likely to conflict with the time he played in Europe. If he does go to Monaco next season, he will definitely have to work hard to enter the main list. If he is distracted to play in the Asian Games at that time, it will be difficult to balance the two.

But that's all for the future. Zhao Yaning knew the priorities and worried about the future. It was impossible to commit them.

After this game, Zhao Yaning got the chance to play in the game against Thailand in Kunming. It's just that after 70 minutes, when the team's 3-1 win was set, he was allowed to play.

Although Zhao Yaning tried to play some level after playing, it is a pity that he and the national team players have hardly got in touch with each other. No matter running position, passing or receiving, a lot of trouble has occurred until the game. I didn't get any good opportunities at the end, and the performance can only be said to be average.

And Zhao Yaning himself was not very satisfied with this game, so naturally he didn't have to expect the coach to be extremely satisfied with him. In the subsequent friendly match between Shenyang and Uruguay, he sat for another whole game.

The team finally lost the friendly match 0-2. But Uruguay can be considered a strong South American team, and losing this game is not a shame.

The next game was against Eindhoven of the Dutch League in Shanghai. This match was promoted by the sponsor of the national team, Philips, and it was the only match against the club in the friendly match in China.

Before arriving in Shanghai, Dazhen reminded Zhao Yaning in advance, “When you arrive in Shanghai, maybe the media will interview you. Be careful when you speak, don’t make people annoying.”

When Zhao Yaning heard this, he was slightly puzzled, "Why would someone interview me? Listening to this, the media still seem to have opinions on me?"

"It's not because you were selected for the national team this time because you knocked them off."

Dazhen just smiled, "Shanghai people are mean, and your words may be awkward, so be careful."

Zhao Yaning understood a little bit. His selection for the national team this time came from behind. The candidate who was originally considered to be selected was the left foot of Beijing, who is known as one of the three young people in Beijing, or the German second half of the three Musketeers in Shanghai. Boots. As a result, Zhao Yaning played well this year and gained fame. At the same time, he was also favored by Wenger and others. There were transfer rumors with the Premier League giants, so they were squeezed out.

This time the national team didn't go to Beijing. I don't know what it is like in Beijing, but when it comes to Shanghai, the local football community in Shanghai is definitely dissatisfied with him. The Shanghainese may be a lie, but the Shanghai media do not like him, but it is absolutely true.

Sure enough, as Dazhen expected, in Shanghai, after the training, a reporter came to interview Zhao Yaning.

"Excuse me, what is your mood for being selected for the national team?"

"I am very happy to be selected for the national team, thank the country for nurturing me, and also proud of this honor."

Zhao Yaning hadn't forgotten the most formal answering routine Zhang Yuan had instructed him, and he was very careful when speaking. But even so, Zhao Yaning still saw the light flashing in the eyes of the reporter on the opposite side.

"In other words, you yourself think that you are lucky to be selected for the national team, right?" The reporter said, without giving Zhao Yaning a chance to refute, he asked the second question, "Do you think you can be the national team? What contribution did this World Cup tour make?"

"My main task is to learn. The important thing is to learn how to play football first."

It is still the most standard answer, but the reporter read it out as he wrote, "I feel the pressure of the national team is too great and I think I am unable to make a contribution."

Zhao Yaning wanted to say something about being born, but the reporter quickly said again, "Excuse me, some people say that you can play in the French second league not as good as the German league. Do you have a different opinion?"

"You always misinterpret what I mean..."

"If there is no objection, I just dare to change the subject...Do you think your best rookie in the French second league is a manifestation of your true strength?"

"I can't answer your question like this."

"For my best newcomer award, I think there is nothing to say. May I ask..."

"You have always misunderstood what I said! You did it on purpose!"

"Professional ethics is not good, I am angry with journalists for no reason..."

"Obviously you deliberately provoked it!"

"Trying to use force on journalists..."

"you……"

Dazhen came over from behind, covered his mouth, and returned a curse to his mouth in time.

"Thanks, don't worry about children." Dazhen whispered a few words to the reporter in the past, then sent the reporter away, then turned his head, "See how good domestic reporters are?"

"What kind of reporters are they? Their words are all misinterpreted!"

"Then you go and sue him. He is barefoot and is not afraid of wearing shoes. Can you do it? Do you still have a reputation in a lawsuit against a reporter?" Dazhen patted him, "The reason why he told you in person is not for Make you angry? Leave him alone and learn, there is a lot to learn."

Are these things really useful after learning?

Looking at Zhao Yaning who was unhappy, Dazhen slapped him cheerfully, "Stop that expression. This kind of villain is useless to talk nonsense with him. If you really want to fight him back, just speak with expression."

Will do. You will see my performance.

Zhao Yaning himself did not expect that the first outstanding performance of his national team would come so fast.

In the game against Eindhoven, Zhao Yaning got another chance to play. In the 65th minute, Zhao Yaning replaced Li Xiaoping, who played on the right. There were as many as six people replaced with him, including the goalkeeper. Zhao Yaning understands that the head coach has begun to let the main players choose to save energy and reserve their energy for the World Cup.

But in this game, Zhao Yaning's mood was quite different.

Although the report had been revised a lot when it came out, it still contained ridicule and ridicule at him. The reporter named Ji Yuyang made it clear: Choosing a young player to enter the national team is nothing but a hype. Abandoning an experienced international player for a young player is bound to cause harm to the national team. In such a major event to adopt such a selection policy, the head coach has a huge responsibility.

What he said was much cleaner—Zhang Yuan revealed privately that he stuffed reporters a lot of money—but the main idea still distrusted Zhao Yaning.

Then show them with action.

When Zhao Yaning was on the court, he stayed with this kind of thinking. I don't know why, he thinks he can play well in this game. Fighting against the national team is one thing, and playing against the club is another. Although Eindhoven is a strong European team, and even defeated Dortmund of the Bundesliga in the UEFA Cup in 2002, they are not the main lineup, otherwise it will not be more than sixty minutes to lead by only one goal. Up. Against them, Zhao Yaning felt that he still had confidence.

And what makes him even more happy is that he’s all on the bench anyway, and the cooperation is definitely not very good. It’s no big deal to do more alone~www.ltnovel.com~ and the game is just like he thought, the ball After several passes, it was passed to his feet. Zhao Yaning looked up at the position on the court, suddenly started, and rushed towards the bottom line.

So fast! This was the first reaction of PSV Eindhoven's left-back Bauma.

But if it is faster, Bauma has always been fearless. He also rushed forward quickly, not only immediately stuck in the position where he could only cut inside, but also leaned towards Zhao Yaning. Bauma believes that as long as he leans on Zhao Yaning, he can affect the dribbling of Zhao Yaning, who is not outstanding in figure.

But things are not that simple. As soon as the two people met, Zhao Yaning stopped abruptly and stood still with his left foot, as if he was about to kick and pass. As expected, Bao Ma immediately flew to block his pass, but Zhao Yaning's raised right foot suddenly retracted and kicked the ball from behind his left foot. He also twisted around, wiped past Bao Ma, and moved towards the middle. go with.

be cheated. Bauma reacted immediately. But his step just now has already taken a big step in order to block, even now it is too late to stop. He could only turn his head in vain and watched Zhao Yaning rush towards the middle. On the way, a lightly changed direction passed the central defender, and then he took a fierce shot.

But the ball was saved by the goalkeeper.

Zhao Yaning frowned slightly. Although there were rounds of applause around him, he was still dissatisfied that the ball was not played.

Had it not been for his poor passing skills, he could have passed directly by arranging the ball. Had it not been for his poor shooting skills, he could have made the angle more tricky. If it weren't for the tacit understanding between him and his teammates, and problems with his running position, he could have passed the ball to Dazhen around him.

The usual problems of cover up in the club due to the skillful cooperation have all appeared. The national team game is really hard to play.
