Super Yang Yang, another winning goal at a critical moment!
The two consecutive Asian Cup defeats were one-man, and the Japanese coach was frank about the Chinese superstars' unstoppable!
Two passes and one shot, Chinese superstar shines in the Asian Cup!
Japan's double equalization highlighted its fighting spirit, but the national football team held an invincible magic weapon!
...
The day after the game, national media, including national authoritative party newspapers and TV stations, to regional TV stations and county newspapers, all reported that the Chinese team narrowly defeated Japan 3-2 and reached the key battle of the Asian Cup finals again.
Yang Yang's outstanding performance in this game once again aroused the appreciation and heated discussions of domestic fans.
This is Yang Yang's second Asian Cup.
Three years ago, Yang Yang was only seventeen years old, but he had already shown a better strength than other Asian players and was elected as the best player in the Asian Cup. Three years later, Yang Yang once again showed amazing strength.
Before the finals were played, Yang Yang only played four games for the Chinese team, but had scored seven goals and three assists.
It can be said that he is the number one hero who can enter the finals of the Chinese team.
The authoritative party newspaper publicly stated that Yang Yang stood up at a critical moment and led the Chinese team to break through Japan's siege and reach the final again, which also made the Chinese team the number one favorite to win the Asian Cup this year.
Because in another game, Iraq unexpectedly tied Saudi Arabia by zero to zero, and defeated its opponent in the penalty kick, causing a big upset and went all the way to the final.
When China encounters Iraq, everyone believes that the Chinese team is a true favorite.
"Because she just experienced a brilliant and dazzling season, Yang Yang is still in the period of adjustment of her condition and physical fitness, but it is obvious that Yang Yang, who is not in his best condition, still has the top strength that stands out for other Asian players."
"No matter Iran, South Korea, or Japan, we have not found an effective way to restrain Yang Yang."
"Japan team head coach Osim threatened before the game that the Japanese team had found a way to freeze Yang Yang, but the facts proved that Yang Yang could not stop him at all. Osim had to admit after the game that Yang Yang could not stop him."
"Osim said that Yang Yang is too comprehensive, he has almost no obvious weaknesses. He can cross from the bottom, cut inside, assist, make wonderful passes, long shots, and... he can almost do anything!"
"Osim also said that on the football field, no one can stop an omnipotent player."
"Yang Yang's ability is well-deserved leader even in top leagues like the Premier League and Champions League. On the stage of the Asian Cup, although he is not in the best condition, he is still at ease."
"Seven goals and three assists, Yang Yang led the Chinese team to play amazing attack power in four games and became a strong enemy that other teams in Asia are afraid of talking about."
"Everyone, even our opponents, has to admit that the Chinese team with Yang Yang is definitely one of the strongest teams in Asia and the most competitive team."
...
High evaluation from authoritative party newspapers has once again improved Yang Yang's status and influence in the national team and in the country.
If Yang Yang, who was only seventeen years old in the Asian Cup three years ago, was just starting out and many people were not convinced by him, then three years later, with many golden honors such as the best scorer in the history of Eredivisie, the best scorer in the Premier League, the Golden Boot Awards of the Champions League, the best player in the Premier League, and the best player in the Premier League.
The state TV not only broadcasted all the Chinese team's Asian Cup games throughout the whole process, but also gave priority care in the news reports. On the day after the game, the state TV not only praised the Chinese team and Yang Yang's outstanding performance, but also broadcasted Yang Yang's words in an interview with a TV reporter after the game in the news during important periods.
"It is definitely a surprise result to reach the finals for two consecutive Asian Cups, but the final has not been played yet. Iraq will definitely be a difficult opponent to reach the finals. We should not think too much, nor should we be careless at all."
"There is no doubt that if we reach the finals for two consecutive times, many people will feel that we are already a strong Asian team, and even have the top Asian strength, but I think we are not yet able to do it, and the team still has a lot of room for improvement."
"In this Asian Cup, we are relatively young and have a group of young teammates in the team. Whether facing Iran, South Korea or Japan, we have exposed some things that are worse than our opponents."
"For example, in this game that just ended, against Japan, we were obviously slightly inferior to our opponents in terms of technical and tactical ability. In the end, we relied on the overall performance of the team and tenacious defense to defend this victory."
"Of course, we don't need to underestimate ourselves. If we can enter the finals, our goal must be to win the championship, but we cannot be blindly arrogant. We should see the gaps and the trends clearly."
"I still think that we still have a long way to go in terms of leagues and youth training. We are still far behind Japan and South Korea in the entire football industry. Compared with these, championships and honors are not the most important."
No one remembers that this is the first time Yang Yang has made such a appeal.
The calls for football reform have always been endless, but many things in domestic football are complicated, complicated and difficult to sort out. Every time, after Yang Yang made an appeal, a heated discussion in China caused, but disappeared soon after.
Yang Yang was mentally prepared for this, and he didn't want to go to this muddy water at all, so he then proposed that he hoped that more outstanding young players could bravely go abroad and enter the European League.
He believes that with the help of the training and training of the European League, the strength of Chinese players will be further improved, and the overall competitiveness of the Chinese national team will definitely be able to be improved to a higher level.
...
Yang Yang has never been a person who likes to speak in front of the media. However, his current status is now. If he doesn't say some things, no one will say them. Maybe someone will forget them at any time.
For example, players have a hard time going abroad. Finally, the General Administration of Sports and the Football Association have come forward, and finally the club is willing to cooperate. So more and more players have begun to go abroad one after another.
If Yang Yang is satisfied with this, then maybe at a time, the road will be broken again.
If he doesn't say these words, who will say them?
He doesn't say it, but others say it, can others hear it?
Of course, you may not be able to listen. Yang Yang just does his best to do his best and just have a clear conscience.

On July 28, the Asian Cup ushered in the third place final. The Japanese team drew with Saudi Arabia by zero to zero, but lost to the West Asian team in the penalty shootout and finally only won fourth place.
One day later, twenty-nine days.
Facing Iraq, Alihan has arranged his strongest offensive lineup.
The forward line is still a combination of Yang Yang, Gao Lin and Chen Tao, Shao Jiayi, Zheng Zhi and Zhou Haibin are partnered with him, Sun Xiang, Feng Xiaoting, Li Weifeng and Sun Jihai are still the goalkeeper is Li Leilei.
The summer temperature in Southeast Asia is very high, wet and hot, but the Chinese team launched a fierce attack on Iraq's goal since the first minute of the game. The offensive trident led by Yang Yang frequently poses threats inside and outside the Iraqi penalty area.
Iraq is obviously very clear that fighting against the Chinese team is definitely a dead end, so they adopted the tactic of defending and counterattacking. Facing the aggressive Chinese team, Iraq performed very calmly.
This is also the consistent feature of the dark horse team.
Through a series of upsets, Iraqi players have become unprecedentedly confident. They hold their own penalty area tightly and easily don’t give the Chinese team any chance.
Throughout the first half, the Chinese team took turns to attack Iraq's penalty area and goal, creating shot opportunities again and again, but more were long shots, and there were not many shots that were truly threatening in the penalty area.
The most threatening thing was that Yang Yang dribbled the ball into the penalty area in the 23rd minute, causing Iraq's defense to lose control, but in the end, he passed it to Gao Lin, but Gao Lin missed an excellent scoring opportunity.
Gao Lin still lacks some in terms of grasping the efficiency of a strike in front of the door.
After the second half of the game, the Chinese team continued to maintain a strong pressure.
Everyone knows very well that in the face of Iraq, which is strictly guarding, a goal can completely change the situation.
As long as it can lead, Iraq will have to take the initiative, and this is the opportunity for the Chinese team.
But facing Iraq, which is facing a shrinking defense, the Chinese team is struggling to find opportunities to score.
...
The competition time passed by bit by bit, and an hour passed quickly.
The Chinese team has all the advantages on the field, but has never found a chance to score.
The players' mentality became somewhat impatient, and Iraq even began to fight back.
But just when the momentum was not good, Yang Yang stepped forward again at the critical moment.
In the 63rd minute, Shao Jia pulled the ball to the left and got the ball, and passed it diagonally to Yang Yang's feet in the left corner of the penalty area.
Yang Yang was facing two Iraqi players' attacks from both sides at the same time, but while stopping the ball, he suddenly started and used his excellent explosive power to control the ball flexibly, and broke out a path from the two defensive players.
After stopping, Yang Yang dribbled the ball into the penalty area and suddenly shot hard with his right foot, directly knocking the ball into Iraq's goal.
Everyone in the stadium stood up and cheered and applauded!
Yang Yang rushed out of the stadium excitedly and kept celebrating the goals along the way.
He knew very well that this goal would completely defeat Iraq.
...
After falling behind by one goal, Iraq intends to counterattack, but the Chinese team began to defend and counterattack, and the situation suddenly reversed.
Until the end, Iraq failed to threaten the Chinese team's goal. Although they once made consecutive attacks at the last moment, they only had one eight shot to target.
As for the Chinese team, they shot 23 times in the game and shot seven times in a target.
Yang Yang's goal helped the Chinese team successfully defend the Asian Cup championship!
