"This station reporter reported that in a semi-final Asian Cup held at the Beijing Gongsports Stadium last night, the Chinese team faced the Western Asian powerhouse Iran. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the Chinese team finally narrowly defeated Iran with Yang Yang's final victory."

"As one of the strongest teams in Asia, Iran has put a lot of pressure on the Chinese team from the beginning of the game, especially on the right side of the Iranian team, which frequently creates threats, but the Chinese team scored first through active mid-front counter-attacks."

"But not long after, Iran equalized the score."

"After the second half of the game, the game just started. The main striker of the Chinese team, Hao Dong, injured his head during a fight, and bleeding profusely. The Chinese team was forced to make substitution adjustments, and Alihan pushed the 17-year-old young player Yang Yang to the front line."

"It was Alihan's wonderful adjustment that released Yang Yang's offensive potential and also created this victory."

"At the critical moment, Yang Yang pulled the ball to the side and took the ball, he passed two players of the Iranian team in a row, and finally tricked the goalkeeper into the goal with his left foot. This time it was very exciting and a classic long-distance raid."

"After the game, the reporter interviewed former national team head coach Horton. He gave a very high evaluation of the performance of the Chinese team in this game, believing that the Chinese team's midfield and backcourt were quite perfect, and the problem of weak offense exposed on the front line was also alleviated after Yang Yang topped the front line."

"Horton said that he was chasing the Chinese team's several games along the way, and he could feel that Yang Yang was constantly improving and integrating into the team, and Alihan was constantly giving him trust and increasing his responsibilities on the court."

"A very obvious change is that Yang Yang is no longer a sprinter who sticks to the wing. He began to insert into the penalty area more actively, which allowed him to score three goals in this Asian Cup, and he was ranked first in the team with Shao Jia."

"Horton believes that Yang Yang is in very good shape, and his performance is hard to believe that he is only seventeen years old, very stable, has solid basic skills, and is very reasonable in passing and receiving. He has great ideas. Using this player well will be the key to winning the Chinese team in the final."

"Not only Horton, but at the press conference after the game, Alihan also highly praised the game, believing it was an exciting game and a contest between two Asian strong teams."

"Alihan said that he did not deliberately arrange Yang Yang's game, but believed him, gave him support and space to play, and Yang Yang did not disappoint everyone's expectations of him. That goal showed his outstanding personal ability."

"Alihan also said that Yang Yang's role in the team is undergoing fundamental changes, and he is playing an increasingly important and critical role. He is already one of the most important players of the Chinese national team."

"Iranian national team head coach Ivanovic also said in an interview with reporters that he had made sufficient preparations for this semi-final and attached great importance to Yang Yang, but unfortunately, he finally underestimated Yang Yang."

"Ivanovic believes that Yang Yang has strong personal ability, fast speed, sharp breakthroughs from the ball. He is a player who impresses people and is also the most critical member of the Chinese team's offensive end. If Japan wants to gain something in the final, it must find a way to curb Yang Yang's performance."

"The Iranian coach has played with China and Japan. He believes that China has advantages in both sides and has strong defense in the middle and backcourts, but Japan has high ball control skills and strong ability to control the rhythm of the game. The confrontation between the two teams in the final will be a wonderful showdown."

At the same time as the key reports of the national TV channel and news channel, major media at home and abroad have also reported on the Asian Cup semi-finals.

Reuters published an commentary saying that the Chinese team showed its determination in this key game.

"In the past, every time the Chinese team encountered pressure, they would perform abnormally, but this time they were obviously more determined. Among them, Yang Yang's goal came at the right time at the critical moment. He brought stable expectations to the team and let everyone see hope. In the end, the Chinese team defended to the end."

The Associated Press published an article saying that Chinese football has recovered after experiencing the pain of the World Cup. Since Alihan became the head coach of the Chinese team in 2003, he has remained unbeaten in 19 international competitions. This is definitely not just luck.

"The semi-finals of the Asian Cup against Iran made everyone see the strength of the team trained by Alihan. It is not perfect, but it is enough to leave a deep impression on people, especially the 17-year-old young player Yang Yang, who plays a key role."

AFP highly praised the significance of this game. "In 1976, the Chinese team participated in the Asian Cup for the first time; in 1984, the Chinese team entered the Asian Cup final for the first time, but unfortunately, they lost to Saudi Arabia by 0-2 in the final."

"After twenty years of separation, the Chinese team once again entered the Asian Cup final. At this time, the Chinese team was full of talents, and the combination of old, middle-aged and young people was very reasonable. They had not only experienced the baptism of the World Cup, but also had many international players studying abroad, and there were also players like Yang Yang who had experienced the Champions League finals.

"This is the most peak moment in Chinese football's history, and it is also the most promising moment to achieve a breakthrough."

In addition to the three major societies, domestic media and newspapers are also in a sea of ​​celebration.

Fans across the country were excited and the media praised them.

In the game against Iran, the Chinese team scored a total of 18 shots, which was far higher than the seven shots of Iran. The conversion rate was low, with only five shots directed at the goal, while Iran had two shots directed at the goal.

From the scene, the Chinese team is not inferior to Iran as a whole. The two teams play evenly. Many football professionals have said that this is an adjustment of Alihan's tactical thinking, from offense in the group stage and quarter-finals to offense and defense balance.

"The opponent in the finals likes to control the ball, and the Chinese team should actively play their advantage in pressing and oppressing in the midfield and frontcourt, and seek opportunities for a quick counterattack in the midfield by suppressing the opponent's midfield."

"More importantly, Japan's main player, Endo, will be absent from the final, and the Chinese team, except Hao Dong, has no other players absent."

At the same time, more domestic football people said that Alihan's team's biggest gain in the Asian Cup was not the results, but the rising talented star Yang Yang and the midfield core Shao Jiayi.

"But more importantly, our team finally showed a firm and bold momentum. In the game facing Iran, we advanced and retreated in moderation, dared to push forward boldly, and were willing to retreat, which reflects the spiritual outlook of our team is quietly changing."

With the optimistic outlook at the domestic and foreign public opinion, there are also voices of doubt.

South Korean coach Bonfrere expected that the Chinese team would lose to Iran before the game, but the Chinese team eliminated their opponents 2-1 to advance. Bonfrerere said after the game that the Chinese team won a bit of luck, and Yang Yang's personal performance changed the situation of the game.

"But when encountering Japan in the final, the Chinese team will not have any chance."

Japanese coach Jike said in an interview with the media that although there are many overseas stars absent, Japan is still the strongest team in Asia. "Even if we are the substitute, we are enough to defeat the Chinese team in the final to win the championship."

Japanese midfielder Shunsuke Nakamura said that the Chinese team eliminated Iran to enter the finals, which is the best news for Japan.

"Compared with the strong Iran, we are more willing to fight against the Chinese team, and we will win the Asian Cup for the third time."

Japanese captain Miyamoto Yoshiyasu believes that it is not easy for Japan to reach the finals all the way. The players are very united and play very hard in every game. However, to be able to reach the finals, every player in the team gains confidence.

“We are eager to play fairly and win trophys.”

As for Miyamoto’s remarks, Chinese fans joked that the quarterfinals knockouts are really fair to Jordan!

Yang Yang and the national team players did not participate in the external troubles.

However, during a phone call, Wei Zheng mentioned that many domestic companies and brands were interested in asking Yang Yang to endorse, but Yang Yang didn't take these things seriously and left them to Wei Zheng to take charge. He prepared for the finals wholeheartedly.

Instead, it was from Europe. Raiola called and told him that Nike had rejoined the negotiations for Yang Yang's personal sponsorship.

"Didn't I tell you before? Adidas is only willing to give up to 300,000 euros at most, and a sponsorship fee of up to 500,000 euros in three years, but this time, they met their opponents."

On the other side of the phone, the fat Italian man who made the Ajax negotiating team gritted his teeth and laughed at him. He felt like he was a businessman when he heard his voice.

"You performed so well in the Toulon Cup and the Asian Cup. I have clearly told Adidas' representative that it is no longer a matter of 500,000 euros. You have to know that behind you is a billion-dollar Chinese market, which is becoming the most important new market for Adidas and Nike."

"I have investigated. Since 2003, Nike's Chinese player Yao Gigan, who was sponsored by Nike, has switched to Reebok. Nike and Adidas are now lacking influential athletes in China, and you will become the hottest player they are competing for."

Speaking of this, Raiola laughed very much on the phone again.

"Anyway, don't worry, play well in the Asian Cup final, it's best to kill Japan. I promise to help you negotiate the next super heavy contract after the Asian Cup. This time, whether it's Nike or Adidas, I must make them bleed."

Raiola's resentment comes from the negotiations that Adidas sponsored Ibrahimovic not long ago. The Swedish center's basketball boot sponsored only 500,000 euros, far lower than Raiola's expected one million euros, and the players and agents were not very happy.

But Yang Yang is different. Behind Yang Yang is the huge Chinese market. It is impossible for anyone to sign him without vomiting blood.

Yang Yang had no objection. He didn't understand such things, so it would be best to leave Raiola to take charge.

Anyway, the fat Italian man was trying to get a commission, so Yang Yang didn't believe he would let the water secretly.

Besides, whether to sign or not is still in your own hands?
