The day after the Chinese team beat Indonesia 5-0, the domestic authoritative party newspaper published an encouraging headline, giving the national football team a very high evaluation of their performance in the second game of the local Asian Cup.

Compared to the first game, the performance of the second game was impressive.

"Like the second half of the Bahrain team, there were two very obvious changes in the starting lineup of the national football team in this game, that is, Shao Jiayi of the Overseas Chinese Army and 17-year-old teenager Yang Yang started."

"It was precisely the outstanding performance of these two overseas players that helped the Chinese team win a hearty victory, especially the 17-year-old Yang Yang, who used a long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area shortly after the opening. It pierced through Indonesia's goal and opened the door to victory for the Chinese team."

"After the game, many football legends and veterans agreed that Yang Yang's goal was very important, which not only relieved the psychological pressure and burden of the Chinese team, but also brought huge psychological pressure to the Indonesian players. Then the Chinese team's offense became smoother and more threatening."

"The national team coach Alihan also highlighted Yang Yang's goal in an interview after the game. He believes that this goal not only reflects Yang Yang's personal ability, but also a booster for the national team's victory."

For the national team's 5-0 victory, Alihan said that the most important factor is that the players are more determined to implement the team's tactics, and the team basically played the tactical ideas he wanted, which is very important.

Many football professionals also believe that flying on both sides is the key to the Chinese team's ability to break through Indonesia.

"After the game, the reporter interviewed the former national team coach Horton. He believes that the key to the Chinese team's victory is to activate the right flank. Yang Yang's breakthrough on the right flank is very sharp, and his one-on-one ability is extremely strong. Forced, created a huge threat to Indonesia's defense, but also created opportunities for the midfielder and midfielder."

"Horton said that he had heard of Yang Yang when he was in Europe, he had seen the Champions League final, and Yang Yang's performance had left a deep impression on him, but compared to when he was at Ajax, he thinks that Yang Yang is now Obviously, he has improved a lot and his confidence is more abundant. He is one of the few players in the Chinese team who dares to take the ball and directly attack the opponent's defense line."

"Horton said that looking at Yang Yang's performance in the national team, it is hard to believe that he is only seventeen years old. He still has some shortcomings, but this just proves that he still has huge potential to be tapped. He believes that it will not be long before Yang Yang He will be the leader of the national team.”

At the end of the report, a reporter from the Party Daily also said that behind a big victory, Indonesia's overall strength is indeed not enough to shake the Chinese team playing at home. The national football team should guard against arrogance and rashness, continue to play steadily, and strive to play every game well.

...

Almost at the same time as the authoritative party newspaper, many domestic newspapers, large and small, have reported on this great victory of the national team.

The outstanding performances of Yang Yang and Shao Jiayi have also been unanimously recognized, especially Yang Yang's goal.

This ball created the record of the youngest scorer in the history of Chinese football. Many media reporters and fans have described it as creating a new era of Chinese football.

"In the selection of the best player after the game, the older Shao Jiayi defeated his younger brother Yang Yang and was elected, which made many fans who like Yang Yang feel dissatisfied, because they think that Yang Yang has a greater role."

"Judging from the statistics after the game, Yang Yang played for 65 minutes, made four steals, made seven threatening passes, made nine one-on-one breakthroughs, and all of them were successful. In addition, one shot directly hit the goal. , the number of fouls reached the team's most five times, no fouls, and three offsides."

"It can be said that from the data point of view, Yang Yang is definitely the most active and outstanding player in the team. In contrast, Shao Jia, who won the best player of the game, is only in the number of steals and shots. Shang was better than Yang Yang, but he played ten minutes more than Yang Yang."

"Although the data can't represent everything, it can show that Yang Yang and Shao Jiayi have performed quite well."

"Coincidentally, the five jury panel commissioned by the AFC was sitting behind the press booth, and after the game, they were quite contentious about who would get the best player of the game because of the performances of Yang Yang and Shao Jiayi. It's really pretty cool.”

"In the end, they determined the best player by age and awarded it to Shao Jiayi."

...

Regarding Yang Yang's failure to become the best player of the game, it quickly caused controversy among fans on the Internet. Many people believed that Yang Yang suffered because he was too young and had too little game time.

In the post-match rating of an influential sports media in China, Yang Yang also ranked the best in the team with a score of 9.5 points, and Shao Jiayi, who won the game's best score, only had 9 points.

At the same time, the world's three major news agencies that reported this game, in their brief reports, all focused on Yang Yang, who played for Ajax, especially his record-setting first goal.

Agence France-Presse said in the article that Yang Yang continued his excellent state in the Toulon Cup, played an amazing attack on the right side of the Chinese team, and led the Chinese team to a hearty victory with one pass and one shot.

The most influential Telegraph newspaper in the Netherlands also reported on this game, gave high praise to Yang Yang's performance, and interviewed Yang Yang's coach of the second team of Ajax and the current coach of the Dutch national team, Fan Fan. Basten.

Van Basten said that he had watched the highlights of the game, and he believed that Yang Yang was obviously much better than before.

"I've had a lot of phone calls with him and I know he's been training hard, he's been in shape, he's hungry for the game, which is a good thing, and from the game, he's really impressive, I think , he will be one of the most important players for Ajax this season."

Ajax coach Ronald Koeman also said in an interview with the media that he watched the game.

"Yang Yang gave a great individual performance, he showed the world his progress, he is obviously better now than when he left the team, I am very happy to see this scene, and I am even more looking forward to it. His return."

When foreign news came back to China, the domestic media and fans' views on Yang Yang couldn't help but take a higher level.

Countless fans have expressed that Alihan should put Yang Yang in the position of the core of the national team and let him play a greater role, and everyone believes that Yang Yang can lead the Chinese team to success.

However, while the media reporters and fans were highly affirmed, Yang Yang himself seemed relatively calm.

According to the arrangement of the national team, in an interview with national television, Yang Yang said that Shao Jiayi deserved the best in the game, and he was convinced, and missing this honor would make him more motivated.

"How can I say it? From the Toulon Cup to the Asian Cup, I haven't played a game for a month, and now I'm full of desire to play, I'm far from my best, and I believe I can do better. it is good."

As for the expectations of this Asian Cup, Yang Yang said that he hopes to keep the Asian Cup in China.

"This should not only be my personal goal, but also the common expectation of everyone in the team and all fans in the country."

The Chinese team won Bahrain first and then won Indonesia, winning two consecutive victories in the group stage.

In the other two games, Indonesia beat Qatar 2-1 in the first round, and Qatar drew Bahrain 1-1 in the second round, which led to the Chinese team finally qualifying from the group ahead of schedule with two consecutive victories.

In other words, the Chinese team will continue to stay in the Beijing Division.

Due to the early qualifying of the group, the final round against Qatar did not make much sense, so Alihan rotated the team's lineup, and many players, including Yang Yang and Shao Jiayi, failed to get the chance to play.

The Chinese team also beat Qatar 1-0 thanks to Xu Yunlong's goal.

In another game, Bahrain defeated Indonesia three to one, and joined the Chinese team to qualify for the group stage.

In the subsequent knockout draw, the Chinese team, as the first in the group, avoided Bahrain in the same group, and at the same time avoided the strongest Iran in the draw, and was drawn to Iraq.

In the remaining three matchups, Uzbekistan drew Bahrain, Japan drew Jordan, and South Korea had the worst luck, winning Iran.

No one would have thought that in just two minutes of the opening, Yang Yang scored!

Only Yang Yang himself knows very well that his current state is really good.

He can't explain this phenomenon, because he has never encountered it before, anyway, it's just how he plays.

Moreover, I have to say that Iraq's defense just now is not tight enough.

After celebrating the goal, Yang Yang turned around and hugged his teammates who were catching up one by one, especially Shao Jiayi, who assisted him, and after the opening, he took a long diagonal pass and moved to the left to Yan Song, planning this time. Attacking roommate Zheng Zhi.

It can be seen that Zheng Zhi has begun to gradually adapt to the role of center back.
