The first training of the national team in Chongqing directly went to a large number of times, which caused many international players who had just returned from the league to be miserable.

But it is also clear to everyone that this is to adjust their form and cope with the next Asian Cup.

Yang Yang, who was originally worried by many people, did not get tired in the high-intensity training of the national team, because the intensity of such training was not strong compared with the first team of Ajax, and he had already adapted to it.

Seeing Yang Yang's relaxed appearance of coping with training, many international players couldn't help but be impressed by him.

Can he play for Ajax in the Champions League final and score the winning goal, how can he be famous?

In the first warm-up game of the national team, they beat Lebanon 6-0, but Yang Yang did not show anything, he came on as a substitute after the 75th minute of the second half, when the score was already 5-0.

Alihan's purpose in arranging Yang Yang to play at this time is very simple, that is, he hopes that he can get familiar with his teammates, find the rhythm of the game, and also use Yang Yang to run in the four-three-three formation he envisioned.

The day after the Lebanese game, the national team took a flight back to Beijing and went directly to the Xianghe base for training.

At noon on July 9, the team flew to Hohhot to prepare for the warm-up match against the United Arab Emirates the next day.

This time, Yang Yang still did not start.

The starting lineup of the national team is still four or four-two, and it is almost the main starter, but the first half was played very badly, the two sides played 0-0, and at halftime, the Chinese team changed three people in a row, which directly led to the instability of the team, and the back line made a mistake in the defense, and the opponent seized the opportunity to score a goal.

Then the national football team began to counterattack, but still failed to score, but was seized by the opponent again in the 60th minute, further expanding the score to 2-0.

Just when the morale of the UAE was high, the national team finally pulled back a game.

Just three minutes after the second goal of the United Arab Emirates, Zheng Zhi took advantage of a free kick opportunity in front of the field and scored directly to rewrite the score to 1-2.

In the 70th minute, Alihan made another substitution, Yang Yang, Sun Jihai and Zhou Ting were replaced on the field, and the team's tactical play changed to four-three-three again, with Yang Yang and Zheng Bin as the two wings, and Li Yi as a single striker.

The three players in the midfield are Zhao Junzhe, Zhou Haibin and Sun Jihai.

The right wingback behind Yang Yang is Wei Xin, who is quite solid defensively, but does not contribute much on the offensive end.

Alihan's instruction to Yang Yang was to do his best to attack the opponent's left side.

Yang Yang, who had been holding back his strength for a long time, and the desire for the game was getting stronger and stronger, did not live up to the high expectations of the head coach, and as soon as he came on the field, he used a very sharp right side of the ball to pass it directly, directly past the left fullback of the United Arab Emirates, and won the unanimous applause of the fans.

Then Yang Yang became more and more active on the right side, but whenever the pass from the midfielder could be given to his feet, he was able to create a threat, frequently with sharp speed, excellent breakthrough ability, the United Arab Emirates defense made a mess, and in the 83rd minute, the right side crossed the penalty area, Li Yi grabbed the point in front of the goal, and equalized the score.

Yang Yang's outstanding performance quickly attracted the attention of the UAE defense, but even so, Yang Yang still took advantage of a breakthrough on the right side in the 88th minute and rushed to the bottom line, although he could not get the support of his teammates, but still earned a corner.

Subsequently, this corner kick opportunity allowed Sun Jihai to be pulled down by the opponent in the penalty area, and the referee did not hesitate to award a penalty, and Zheng Zhi hit the penalty to expand the score to 3-2.

Trailing by two goals and reversing tenaciously, the performance of the national football team in the second warm-up game was not satisfactory.

Especially on the defensive end of the team, it is very unreassuring.

On the contrary, it was the performance of the teenager Yang Yang after coming off the bench that won the unanimous recognition of domestic media reporters and fans.

On the day after the national football team returned to Beijing from Hohhot, the Xianghe base was rarely opened to the public, welcoming a large number of media reporters and fans, as well as the sponsor of the national team, Adidas.

Every season, before every tournament, sponsors create a new outfit for their teams, and the sponsor of the national team, Adidas, is no exception.

The Asian Cup jersey they created for the national football team this time is only a small facelift, compared with the previous jersey, only the curve of the chest has changed slightly, it looks like two scimitars connected together, and the color of the jersey is the same, it is white, if you don't look carefully, it is really difficult to find.

But what's really interesting is that just a few days ago in Portugal, Greece wore the same shirt to perform a dark horse miracle at the European Championship, Rehhagel's team went all the way to the final, and the center-forward Charlie Steas scored the winning goal.

It is worth mentioning that after Charlie Steas performed well in the European Championship, he was quickly valued by Ajax, and announced after the European Championship final that the European Cup winner was officially brought in from Werder Bremen.

This is a blockbuster addition to fill the team since Ibrahimovic's departure.

Adidas chose the same style of Greek jersey to the Chinese team at this time, which is undoubtedly a very good meaning, hoping that the Chinese team can win the Asian Cup like Greece.

If that's the case, then Adidas will make a lot of money.

In addition to inviting the national football players to show the new national team jerseys, the president of Adidas China also brought a special mission from the Adidas headquarters and presented Yang Yang with boots specially tailored for him.

"We are very honored that Yang Yang has been wearing our Adidas boots for the Chinese national team and Ajax in the past year."

"And this time, in order to better show Yang Yang's characteristics and give full play to his advantages in speed and personal breakthroughs, we specially tailored a Chinese red F50 combat boot for him."

With the solemn announcement of the president of Adidas China, everyone couldn't help but pay attention to Yang Yang.

Yang Yang also wore this pair of combat boots that were completely tailored for him according to the size of his feet, stood on the stage, and performed several fancy ball bouncing actions on the spot, which can be regarded as showing the role of football boots.

However, many media reporters and international players were surprised, and even the Football Association and the national team were surprised, because they had no idea that there was such a thing.

It even seems that the most important thing for Adidas on this trip is not to send new jerseys to the national team, but to show Yang Yang football boots, and this is also the first Chinese football player to have Adidas sponsor football boots, or a new generation of combat boots F50 just released on the eve of the European Cup this summer.

This is the boots for top stars in the European Cup, which shows how much Adidas attaches importance to Yang Yang.

Yang Yang was not surprised at all, because Raiola had already told him about it.

The sponsorship negotiations between Ajax and Adidas went well, but due to Raiola's operation, Yang Yang's personal sponsorship was negotiated separately, and for the time being, Adidas was one step closer than Nike, but the two sides did not agree on the specific price.

Adidas hopes to sign Yang Yang for 300,000 euros per Chinese New Year's Eve, and given Yang Yang's age, there is also a certain increase clause in the contract, up to 500,000 euros.

The 500,000 euro boot sponsorship is definitely a blockbuster in Chinese football.

What's more, Yang Yang is only seventeen years old this year, and his future is infinitely bright.

But Raiola has not yet given a final nod, and negotiations are still ongoing.

In a subsequent interview with the media, Yang Yang said that he did not participate in the contract renewal negotiations, and has been working hard to train and improve himself after returning to China, and everything is handled by the agent and the club.

"I'm very happy to receive Adidas boots, at the very least, it represents the official affirmation of Adidas for me."

Regarding the fact that after he joined the team, the two warm-up games were substitutes, Yang Yang said that it was normal.

'The coach has talked to me about it, I'm new to the team after all, he thinks I should get familiar with the team as soon as possible, I agree with him, although I am a substitute, I believe that I can contribute to the national team.

For the Asian Cup, Yang Yang confidently said that he was ready.

"I'm hungry for the game, and I told my coach about that, I haven't played in a competitive game for a while, and the Asian Cup is coming up and I can't wait."

"Before the game is played, I can't say what it will be, I can only say, go all out, do your best, I will do my best to help the team and keep the Asian Cup in China!"

Regarding Yang Yang's statement, the head coach of the national team, Alihan, also said that he was very clear.

'He's in really good shape, he's hungry to play, I know that very well, but I need to think about it a little bit more, he's only 17 years old and he's still a little less fit than an adult, so we need to think about it.'

"But I'm sure he's ready."

Yang Yang, as the only player among the 25 international players to accept Adidas' sponsorship, makes the international players in the team very envious, even some international players who have been famous for many years, although they did not say it explicitly, but looked at the several pairs of Chinese red boots sent by Adidas, they were obviously very blushing.

But it's a pity that Adidas tailor-made it for Yang Yang after he got the size of Yang Yang's soles from Ajax, and others can't wear it at all, so they can only envy it.

The Football Association felt very helpless about Adidas' sponsorship of Yang Yang, because Yang Yang was not a registered player of the Football Association, and theoretically the Football Association had no jurisdiction over him at all.

Of course, they can choose not to recruit Yang Yang, but with Yang Yang becoming more and more popular among domestic fans and his performance in Europe getting better and better, the Football Association really can't help but recruit him, unless they want to make the public angry.

As for getting involved in Yang Yang's business operations, don't even think about it.

On the contrary, Yang Yang thought the simplest, whether it was sponsorship or the main position, it was not important to him.

The most important thing is that he wants to improve himself as soon as possible and also grasp every opportunity that appears.

From Almere's youth team, to Ajax's second team to the first team, he's always been like that because he always believes in a word.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
