Chapter 223 Mess

The flight back from Kuala Lumpur landed slowly at the Capital Airport.

When the team leader and the head coach showed up with the players of the National Youth Team, fans and media reporters who had already been waiting at the airport rushed forward. The atmosphere was very warm, and many fans even brought flowers and gifts.

After 20 years of absence, to win the Asian Youth Championship again, domestic fans did not hesitate to praise and applaud the players of the National Youth Team.

Yang Yang, who was selected as the best player of the Asian Youth Championship and the winner of the Golden Boot Award, has become the focus of all fans and media reporters, but this time, Yang Yang is responsive to fans and has a very polite attitude. The attitude of the reporters was completely different, which also made many media reporters on the scene feel left out.

Not only Yang Yang, but other players of the National Youth Team were also very cold when they met the media reporters, refusing to answer any questions raised by the media reporters, which made the media reporters on the scene feel bitter, some even angry.

Of course, the team leader and the head coach knew the reasons for the temper of the players in the team, and took the initiative to resolve the embarrassment, saying that the team issued a gag order and did not allow the players to be interviewed by the media without permission. This is also a kind of protection for the players.

Once the media is annoyed, God knows that tomorrow there will be a number of media collectively concocting the news of the National Youth players playing big names after winning the championship?

After winning the championship, people can still accuse you of playing big names. Once you perform poorly next time, no matter if you are in the club or the national team, people will use this as a reason to bombard you.

If the hat is buckled and you want to take it off again, it won't be so easy.

Yang Yang had already asked Wei Zhen to book a flight back to Amsterdam tomorrow, and he had to go back and pack his luggage tonight, and the other national youth team players were also rushing back to the club, so most of them broke up at the airport.

After leaving the airport, as soon as Yang Yang called, brothers Wei Zhen and Wei Zheng drove over to pick him up.

As soon as he got in the car, Wei Zhen mentioned that the national team had left for Kuwait ahead of schedule today.

"They set off on KLM in the morning. Since there is no direct domestic flight to Kuwait, they can only go to Amsterdam first and then Kuwait."

Yang Yang frowned slightly, but there was really no way to deal with this objective condition.

"By the way, has the national team booked a ticket for you?" Wei Zhen asked with concern.

Yang Yang shook his head, "Last night, both Alihan and Team Leader Zhu called, and they asked me to get ready in Beijing."

"The Football Association has also been in chaos recently. League teams have gone on strike, and many teams have collectively made revolutions. They are too devastated, and they can't get out of it at all. Let alone you, the national team doesn't care." Wei Really frustrated.

"What a mess of shit!"

Hearing Wei Zhen's scolding, Yang Yang couldn't help laughing bitterly. There seems to be no country's football association in this world that is not a jerk.

The difference is that leagues in other countries will have professional professional leagues to be in charge of their operations, but in China, the Football Association does everything. Premier League.

However, Yang Yang has no interest in these matters and does not intend to participate.

Wei Zheng, who was driving by the side, took over at this time, "I heard another inside story."

"what?"

"Before, a well-known domestic media contacted me, and they revealed some news inside and outside of their words. It is said that someone within the Football Association is very dissatisfied with you."

"Dissatisfied?" Wei Zhen was a little incomprehensible, "Why are you dissatisfied? You won the Asian Cup and the Asian Youth Championship, but you are still dissatisfied?"

"Brother, you don't understand this. After all, it's money."

Yang Yang and Wei Zhen looked at each other, and they both realized something.

"After the Asian Cup, you signed a big contract with Nike in Europe, 3 million euros a year, which is nearly 30 million yuan in RMB. Now your popularity has skyrocketed in China. After my contact during this period of time, I found that Even some well-known domestic brands and big companies are willing to spend more than 10 million yuan in endorsement fees every year. This is after our strict requirements and screening. If the requirements are lowered, the endorsement fees that can be obtained will be higher, or even turn over two or three. Times are not a problem.”

Having said this, Wei Zheng sneered twice, "Think about how big a piece of fat this is, but the Football Association sees it in its eyes, but can't eat it, because you are not a Football Association at all. Registered players, they can't control you, they can only worry."

"You mean, the Football Association wants to take this opportunity to put pressure on Yang Yang?"

"There are also a lot of people in the Football Association who really do football, but some people do have this idea."

When Wei Zhen heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Yang Yang.

Yang Yang still looked calm, and said lightly: "I can't believe what the domestic media say now, and you don't participate much. As for what the people of the Football Association think, I don't care, but they don't expect me to give in. All in all, there is a call-up. If I fight, if I don’t recruit, then I have no choice.”

"Well, your previous statement in Guangzhou was very beneficial to you. You gave the ball to the Football Association. It's up to them whether they want to be recruited or not." Wei Zheng nodded and said, this is the best way to deal with it.

"I estimate that the Football Association did not dare to mess around this time. After all, in such an important game, it can only be said that their efficiency is really poor." Wei Zhen analyzed.

"How's the team doing?"

"I have trained with the team before, and some core players in the team secretly told me that after winning the Asian Cup, the team was filled with an overly optimistic mood, which was shown in Malaysia before. Dissatisfaction, plus Hao Dong's state is really bad, and the attacking force of the front line is very poor."

Yang Yang nodded, "All immature teams are so unstable."

"More than that, the current situation in the domestic league has made the national team panic. Some business conflicts between Alihan and the Chinese coaching staff have been wildly hyped and amplified by the media. There are also conflicts between the head coach and many players. During the cup, there was also news that Sun Jihai's father bombarded Alihan as a cake talent, which added to the instability in the team."

"Zheng Zhi will be suspended this round. Alihan takes this very seriously. He even flew to Belgium to visit Li Weifeng, who was recovering from the injury, and personally persuaded him to return to China. However, in the past few days, the domestic media suddenly broke out that Alihan was laundering money. scandal……"

Speaking of which, Wei Zhen shook his head helplessly and sighed.

Yang Yang's brows were also furrowed when he heard it. This was simply a mess that couldn't be more assholes.

"I know Alihan. I don't dare to say whether he laundered money or not, but he certainly has the ability to coach. He has very clear tactical ideas and is very advanced. According to his transformation plan, he will start from the back line. Grab, then the midfield, finally the striker, the timeline of his whole plan is to complete the metabolism and the transformation of the team before the World Cup."

This is what Alihan mentioned in a conversation with Yang Yang before. The topic of discussion at that time was which position Yang Yang should play, and Yang Yang's attitude was to obey the arrangement of the coaching staff.

Wei Zhen nodded and said: "Judging from the current situation of the national team, the age structure of the team is very reasonable. The defense and midfield have also experienced the test of the Asian Cup. The problem lies in the striker, and Alihan must be aware of it. The importance of this game, so I did everything possible to invite Li Weifeng back, and made a special trip to the Football Association to ask you to be recruited into the team."

"However, the Asian Cup championship has blinded many people's eyes, not only making many players in the team become blind and arrogant, but also making many domestic media and even some people within the Football Association become unrealistic. This situation How similar is it to qualifying for the World Cup that year?"

Yang Yang could only respond with a wry smile, he could only manage himself, and could not manage others.

There is no perfection in this world. All tactics, all players and all managers are a combination of strengths and weaknesses. There will be bright spots and mistakes.

Whether you choose a coach or a player, you choose someone's strengths, and you must also accommodate the person's shortcomings.

It's impossible to say that I only want your advantages, and you can change my shortcomings for me. Is this realistic?

Just like Yang Yang, he also fantasized about Vieri's body, Bergkamp's stop, Maradona's dribbling, and Van Basten's shot, but how is that possible?

When you have Vieri's strong body, it is already doomed that you can't have Maradona's low center of gravity and light dribbling.

"I don't want to care about these things. My attitude is still very clear. As long as they call up, I will play. For me, this is not a game for the Football Association, but for whom, this represents the honor of the country." Yang Yang said. .

As for the game, he will return to Europe, and domestic football matters have nothing to do with him.

…………

…………

When Yang Yang returned to Wei Zhen's house, the three members of Su Wenhong's family were already waiting.

Since it was a weekend, they didn't have to go to work or school, but they didn't go out either.

Although it was only half a month since they were separated, she still couldn't avoid the courtesy. Su Xiaomei also took out several autograph books for Yang Yang to sign, saying that she was entrusted by her classmates, and she couldn't let it go.

"These days, newspapers of all sizes in the country are publishing your news, and they really treat me as your sister." Su Xiaomei said with a pouting voice.

Yang Yang laughed, "It's true, how can it be true or false?"

As he said that, he signed each copy one by one, so that his little sister would not lose face in front of his classmates.

"By the way, Yang Yang, are you going to Kuwait this time?" Su Wenhong asked with concern.

Yang Yang shook his head, "Go, but haven't booked a ticket yet."

"What the hell is this football association doing? You have traveled a long way, and you don't have much time. Why haven't you booked a ticket yet?" Su Wenhong shook his head and sighed, "Many fans and friends are asking, if you go, everyone can rest assured that you didn't go, Everyone is clueless."

"How can I be so amazing?" Yang Yang shook his head and smiled.

"Don't say it, confidence is such a strange thing." Su Wenhong smiled.

Wei Zhen and the others couldn't help but smile, but after thinking about it carefully, it was true.

Since Yang Yang participated in the Toulon Cup for the first time, whenever he participated in the national team's competition, he often performed very well.

During the Asian Cup, his performance on the court needless to say. Alihan also said in an interview with the media that Yang Yang is the bridge of communication between him and the players. The reason is very simple. Yang Yang understands his thoughts best.

It can be said that, relying on each game, Yang Yang has gradually built up the confidence of domestic fans in him, and everyone has begun to believe that with Yang Yang and without Yang Yang, they are two completely different national teams.

That is, when everyone was chatting without a word, Yang Yang's cell phone suddenly rang.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

The person who called was the leader Zhu of the national team.
