There were still two drums and a shout.

Iranian fans have been putting pressure on the Chinese team in this way since the two teams entered the court.

The Chinese team retreated to the half-time of the team, and even retreated into the 30-meter zone, doing their best to defend.

Yang Yang was cruising in the frontcourt alone, but he was mainly harassing the opponent's central defenders and the defense line.

The midfield and backcourt were completely suppressed, and it was difficult for him to get a chance alone.

But as a single striker, he cannot retreat too deeply.

First of all, he didn't know if he would suddenly create a counterattack opportunity in the middle and backcourt. If the opportunity came, he retreated deeply. Wouldn't that waste the efforts of his teammates in vain?

Secondly, if even he retreats, no one can withstand Iran's defense line. Then the Iranian team will inevitably go straight in and push forward further, which will be a fatal threat to the Chinese team.

In particular, it should be considered that once Iran gains a foothold in the frontier of the Chinese team's 30-meter area and controls the situation, the Chinese team will be like meat on the chopping board and may be cut at any time.

Because at this time, you often get a chance to shoot with just one pass.

Therefore, no matter how strong the Iranian team's offensive momentum was, Yang Yang always roamed around the center line and refused to take a step back.

Iran has no choice but to let Yang Yang ignore it, because they also know very well that as long as the Chinese players can kick the ball behind the defense, Yang Yang may create a fatal murderous intent at any time.

One person restrains a defense line, which is Yang Yang’s tactical value on the court.

As for whether you can defend the midfield or backcourt, it depends on your teammates.

Since Alihan took over the Chinese team, he has first grasped the defense, then the midfield, and finally transformed the offense.

With Yang Yang's emergence, the offensive problems were not particularly serious, but Li Tie was seriously injured, which disrupted all the team's plans. The midfielder even released three defensive players, Xiao Zhanbo, Zhao Junzhe and Hu Zhaojun, in one breath.

Shao Jiayi on the left and Xu Yunlong on the right.

Such a midfielder has clearly stated Alihan’s intention, that is, defense.

Beware of the situation!

At the beginning of the game, Chinese players showed some timidity, and were influenced by the home team fans, and seemed a little unwilling to let go.

This is also an old problem for the Chinese team, and it is slow to get into the state.

But I unified my thinking before the game, and as the game began, everyone quickly got into the state.

Karimi, who just won the Asian Footballer, seemed very active in the opening game.

As early as before the game, Karimi said in an interview with Chinese media that he would avenge a single shot at the Asian Cup at home.

According to domestic Iranian media reports, Karimi once revealed that he wanted to defeat Yang Yang and prove the value of his title as an Asian footballer.

Since the selection scope of Asian Footballers only considers players who play in the Asian League, including Yang Yang from China, Lee Yongpyo from South Korea and Shinji from Japan, etc., are not qualified to run.

Especially Yang Yang.

As the European Golden Boy Award and Asian Cup Best Player, he failed to participate in the Asian Footballer selection and was hailed as a loss of authority in this Asian No. 1 award. It will also be considered as a misnomer to win this title.

It is precisely because of this that Carrimi is also holding on to prove herself in this game.

From the beginning of the game, he rushed left and right and frequently rushed to the Chinese team's penalty area, posing a considerable threat.

After returning from injury, Li Weifeng, coupled with Zheng Zhi who returned from suspension, performed very steadily in the penalty area and organized the defense in an orderly manner. He did not give Karimi or Iran a chance.

After three tricks at the beginning, Iran's offensive gradually slowed down and many problems were exposed.

Karimi, Alidei, Candi, Madawikia and Hashmian, the Iranian team seems to be full of talents, but in fact it has not formed a good overall cooperation. It seems that the offensive momentum is very strong, but there are not many opportunities for real threats.

The Chinese team is at a disadvantage, but their style is relatively tenacious, especially the players have a very unified thinking, that is, defending to the death.

After baptism in the Asian Cup and the top 40 matches, everyone believes that as long as Yang Yang is there, the Chinese team will have hope.

And all they need to do is to keep the goal.

The most terrifying thing about a team on the court is not a strong opponent, but the lack of hope.

With hope, even the weakest team can burst out with amazing strength.

That's why the sport of football is so fascinating.

…………

February 9th, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

But unlike the Spring Festival in previous years, this year, countless fans from all over the country were staying at home nervously, sitting in front of the TV, watching the first round of the quarterfinals.

Asian Cup champion China challenged Asia's top team Iran away.

Many people often scold the Chinese national football team on weekdays, but tonight, they all hope from the bottom of their hearts that this Chinese team expedition to Tehran can bring them a special New Year gift.

Chinese football is already terrible!

No matter how bad it is, it is also Chinese football!

Who doesn't want them to bring some unexpected surprises?

Especially, there is another Yang Yang in this team!

At the beginning of the game, watching the Iranian team launch a crazy attack on China, all the fans in front of the TV were frightened. Although they were only through the TV screen, they could feel the horror of the devil's home court in the sounds at the scene.

The strength is indeed not as good as others!

There is no doubt about this.

But the players on the field are indeed working hard, everyone is fighting and running.

The commentator of the state TV station believes that Yang Yang should come back to the midfield from time to time to connect. After all, he performed very well when playing in the Toulon Cup.

But the commentator Zhang, the guest next to him, believed that Yang Yang was the most tactical value in front of him. When he came back, Iran would push forward and drive straight in, and the Chinese team would be even more dangerous.

"We Chinese football have not seen such a player with outstanding personal abilities for many years. Yang Yang can restrain Iran's entire defense line alone. This type of player is something we have never seen in Chinese football now, even in the past."

"Football is an eleven-player team sport. Yang Yang has already brought his role to the extreme. The key is whether the teammates behind him can hold on and whether they can pass the ball."

"Alihan said before the game that without Yang Yang, the overall strength of the Chinese team would not be able to compete in the World Cup, but with Yang Yang, the Chinese team would be able to enter the World Cup. However, Yang Yang alone would not be able to play well. The team needs eleven people to work together."

"Although it's a bit unreasonable to put such a heavy burden on an 18-year-old young player, we must admit that Yang Yang is the hope of the current national team."

The first half ended with zero to zero!

Iran created many opportunities, but failed to score.

The Chinese team even created only one shot in the entire first half, which shows how embarrassed the situation on the field was suppressed by the Iranian team.

If the Asian Cup championship has made everyone have an unrealistic fantasy, then, before playing against Kuwait and Iran in this game, it is very clear that the Chinese team's strength is just like this.

Only by seeking truth from facts and knowing oneself and an enemy can you have the opportunity to go further.

Yang Yang walked into the locker room panting.

He could feel that all his teammates around him were already exhausted.

Long journeys, climate differences, life schedules, devil's away games... and Iran's terrifying strength.

Tonight, the Iran team they face is the strongest Iran.

Yang Yang could feel the confidence of his teammates was passing by bit by bit, which is a very normal psychological phenomenon.

The whole first half was suppressed so much that he could not shoot a shot, and he was almost beaten up in the half. The despair was unimaginable to outsiders.

It’s like a child with no power to tie a chicken. How can he fight against a powerful man with Kong Wu?

People's hearts are full of flesh, and no one really has the will of steel, let alone a national team that has long been known for its weak willpower.

"Everyone did a very good job!" Alihan also looked very serious after entering the locker room.

"We defended steadily in the first half and did not give the opponent any chance. This is very good. Believe me, Iran will become more and more anxious as we play, and what we need most now is patience and persistence."

"If the other party is anxious, they will definitely make mistakes. They make mistakes and our chances are ours!"

Alihan said it was very excited, but the players seemed a little excited.

This made the coaching staff very anxious because such emotions were not conducive to the second half of the battle.

They can understand the players' mood, but they should cheer up at this time.

"Do you believe me?"

Yang Yang suddenly raised his head and looked at the teammates of the national team.

When he suddenly asked this, everyone looked at him in surprise, even Alihan and Deyang were a little puzzled.

"If you believe me, then give me a chance. After the second half, continue to fight. As long as you pass a ball to the frontcourt, no matter if you pass a high ball, a low ball, a left or a right, as long as you pass it to me, I can catch it. As long as I can catch it, I can send it into the goal!"

Yang Yang almost gritted his teeth and said this.

This obviously doesn't fit his personality, but he's really forced.
