Glory Greenery

Chapter 404

For the first time in his life, Yang Mo knew what drunk was.

The street lamps and the stars in the sky were spinning, and someone seemed to be talking to him in his ear, but he couldn't hear clearly.

He tried hard to stand firm, but his feet, which are enough to make any defense line in today's football tremble, lost control at this moment.

The emptiness in my heart seemed like no amount of wine could fill it.

Cup after cup, ignoring the piercing warning sound of the system, he soon lost consciousness.

Sunlight.

wind.

The sound of water.

made him open his eyes.

"Brother, you are awake, wash your face and eat something, it's already noon."

His sister's voice, he looked up and found himself lying at home in Manchester.

The sun was shining on his face through the glass, and the breeze was blowing in through the open window. From the angle of his eyes, he could just see the fountain in the yard rising and falling.

Am I drunk?

Feeling the irresistible soreness of the whole body, exhaustion, alcohol, and mood.

I got up from the bed exhausted, washed off my drowsiness with cold water, and went to the restaurant to pick up the porridge my sister handed me.

"Brother, pack up quickly after eating, we have to catch the plane back to China in the afternoon."

The younger sister knew that he was drunk, and also knew why he was drunk, but she didn't say anything, because in those difficult lives before, their brother and sister were like this, never thinking about the past and always moving forward.

In the early morning of May 5, Yang Mo and his younger sister arrived in Yanjing by plane, and his younger sister suddenly took his arm, "Brother, I want to go home and visit my parents."

Yang Mo nodded, and immediately bought a ticket to transfer back to Chang'an.

Last year, their hometown was engaged in development, land was acquired, and all burials had to be relocated. Yang Mo bought a cemetery for his parents in the cemetery and buried them together.

After buying paper money for joss sticks, Yang Mo took his sister to Chang'an, and then went straight to the cemetery.

Although the Ching Ming Festival has passed, there are still many people in the cemetery. In order not to cause commotion, Yang Mo covered himself tightly.

It can't be done otherwise, the Champions League has only been over for two days, and there are still news about him everywhere in the country, so it's impossible to be careless.

Before getting off the plane at the airport, he was recognized by someone, and it immediately attracted a crowd of people watching. If it wasn't for the help of the airport security, he almost wouldn't be able to get out.

After carefully sweeping their parents' graves, offering tribute, offering incense, and burning paper, Yang Mo and his younger sister talked about their recent situation before their parents' burial, shed some tears, and left again.

Although after a tiring season, Yang Mo has no time to rest at this time, because the national team's game is about to start.

In the Asian Cup top ten match, on June 6, the Chinese team will sit in the new home stadium of the Bird's Nest and face their old opponent Iraq in the top twenty match.

After leaving the cemetery, Yang Mo and his sister said goodbye, got on the plane and rushed back to Yanjing.

In Yanjing, he didn't go to the hotel either. Instead, he contacted the national team and asked someone to pick him up to the Xianghe training base. When he arrived at the dormitory, he happened to meet Zhou Haibin who had been training with the team for a long time.

"Okay, it's another Champions League, don't tell me, watching the penalty shootout made me nervous..."

Seeing Yang Mo, Zhou Haibin immediately began to recall the feeling he saw clearly in Germany that day, good guy, the atmosphere on that stage was said by this guy to be more dangerous than on the field.

To be honest, Yang Mo's continuous long-distance journey will make his upper and lower eyelids fight.

But this guy can't stop talking, Yang Mo can't sleep at all, simply.

Fortunately, not long after, Lippi's assistant came over and called him. As the captain and technical director of the national team, Lippi had a good communication with Yang Mo about the next game.

When he finished talking with Lippi and returned to the dormitory, Zhou Haibin didn't know who to go out to chat with. Yang Mo hurriedly took this opportunity to lie down and go to sleep, and Zhou Haibin came back to chat with him.

Maybe it was because he was really tired. Yang Mo, who doesn't like to sleep late on weekdays, fell asleep until two o'clock the next day before waking up.

After washing in a hurry, Yang Mo went to the cafeteria to eat some porridge and steamed buns to fill his stomach, and then walked towards the training ground.

As soon as they entered the training ground, the team leader Li Xiaoguang joined him, "Director Yang, I know you were exhausted after the game, so no one called you. How is your rest?"

"Thank you, Team Leader Li, for your concern. I'm in good shape now."

Since he became a deputy leader and director of the technical department in the Football Association, and became the technical director of the team, Li Xiaoguang's name for him has changed.

Yang Mo knew that Li Xiaoguang was a bureaucrat, not a sportsman, and Li Xiaoguang was more sensitive to changes in his status.

To use his position as a title is the most instinctive reaction of a bureaucrat.

But even if he can understand, Yang Mo is still not used to it, "Leader Li, you can just call me Xiao Yang, being too special in the team is not conducive to unity."

"That's not acceptable, why don't I call you Director Yang." Li Xiaoguang made a compromise change.

"Alright then." Yang Mo knew that was the only way to go.

Here, Yang Mo entered the training field to talk to Li Xiaoguang, and other people on the field naturally saw it. At this time, the players were conducting tactical training on the field, and Lippi knew it from the sidelines.

Seeing Yang Mo approaching, Lippi asked directly, "Yang, what's the matter, do you need me to arrange you to play?"

"Mr. Lippi, don't be in a hurry, let me take a look first, and warm up by the way, I just woke up and my mind is still not clear."

After Yang Mo finished speaking, he began to warm up on the sidelines.

However, he warmed up a little while watching the training of his teammates on the field. Lippi's tactics for the Chinese team were very simple, which was to strengthen the defense infinitely, and then how to counterattack more effectively after stealing the ball.

Although the routine is simple, Lippi obviously did a lot of research from the defensive position to the offensive line when counterattacking.

Although Wu Lei is at the top of the forward position on the field at this time, Yang Mo can see that every detail of his teammates is catering to his playing habits.

The national team, now under the leadership of Lippi, completely puts the weight of victory on him.

In this way, as long as he performs well enough, the results of the national team will naturally be guaranteed.

But the problem is that once he has a problem, or once he is targeted too badly, the national team will fall into a situation where there is no leader.

Yang Mo understands that in order to lead the national team to perform better, he must strengthen his offensive methods to make it more difficult for opponents to target.

The hard-fought Champions League before gave him a lot of experience in the system, and now he is not far away from the system upgrade. After playing these World Cup qualifiers, he should be able to upgrade and continue to strengthen his header attack ability.

I believe that after this increase, although the header is not yet top-level, it should already be applicable in actual combat.

And there are still two seasons before the 14 World Cup, so there is still some time left for him to grow.

After the warm-up, Yang Mo played under the arrangement of Lippi and started training with his teammates.

The three days of training passed in the blink of an eye. On June 6th, the top ten finals of the 4 Brazil World Cup Asian Qualifiers, the first match of the Chinese team will start at the Bird's Nest Stadium.

As the first match of the national team's sprint to the top ten of the World Cup, this game has undoubtedly attracted the attention of fans and media all over China.

The Bird's Nest Stadium, which can accommodate 91000 people, was full of seats today, and the stands of the entire stadium were completely dyed red.

When Yang Mo joined the national team, with the help of Yang Mo, the national team created honors again and again, and gradually began to reverse its status in the hearts of fans, although this reversal was entirely because of Yang Mo.

But in any case, the last time the national team received so much attention in the world preliminaries was the 02 World Cup.

Although the broadcast of this game was monopolized by Yang Ma, there were no less than a hundred media that rushed to report on the game.

If you want to ask who is the hottest figure in the domestic public opinion right now, it must be Yang Mo, who led Manchester City to win the double crown and won the Champions League for the second time. Even though the Champions League has ended for a week, the popularity of Yang Mo is still not end yet.

When the national team's bus arrived outside the Bird's Nest, it was surrounded by Everbright reporters. Everyone had only one goal, which was Yang Mo, the soul of the Chinese team.

Under the obstruction of security, Yang Mo and his teammates did not accept interviews from any reporters.

However, when she came to the locker room, Yang Ma, who is the official media, still got a chance to interview Yang Mo.

The interviewer who interviewed Yang Mo was a beautiful reporter, whose name was He Tingting according to her press card. Regardless of her professional ability, Yang Mo was deeply impressed by her impressive bust.

The reporter was preparing for the interview, and the staff of CCTV whispered to Yang Mo, "Captain Yang, this interview will be broadcast live in real time. These are the interview questions. You can watch it first."

Obviously, Yang Ma was worried that Yang Mo would say something that shouldn't be said in the live broadcast, so she communicated well in advance, and even handed over the questions to Yang Mo in advance, so that Yang Mo could prepare early.

Soon after the live broadcast is ready, the interview will begin.

At the same time, in the studio named "Sprinting for the World Cup" by Yang Ma, Liu Jianhong and Duan Xuan, who have not returned to China for a long time, have been guided by Tao and are analyzing the situation of the Chinese team's sprinting for the World Cup.

Liu Jianhong: "I think the national team with Yang Mo and Lippi is stronger than the national team in 02. Last year's Asian Cup has proved that as long as we don't make mistakes, Asian teams are no longer our opponents. I am very optimistic about the situation of the national team qualifying this time.”

Director Tao: "Although I also agree with this analysis, I think the national team should not be careless. Last year, Yang Mo played in the Asian competition for the first time. Teams from other countries don't know Yang Mo well, but now no matter which team is facing The Chinese team will definitely focus on Yang Mo, and if Yang Mo has a problem with this, it will be difficult for the national team to have players who can stand up to replace Yang Mo."

Liu Jianhong: "That's right. Although Wu Lei performed well after entering the Eredivisie, he scored four goals and created two assists in half a season, but the pressure on the opponent on the front line is still incomparable to that of Yang Mo."

Duan Xuan: "Wu Lei went to Twente because of Yang Mo's recommendation. Yang Mo still wanted to train Wu Lei as his helper in the national team. With Yang Mo as the fulcrum, as long as Wu Lei plays normally, It can also play a certain role in the national team.”

Liu Jianhong: "None of the top ten teams defeated the Chinese team last year. We still have to believe in Yang Mo's state. After all, he just helped Manchester City win the league and the Champions League double."

Director Tao: "For ten years, Chinese fans' desire for the World Cup has now been pinned on Yang Mo. This is both a kind of pressure and a kind of recognition for Yang Mo."

While several people were discussing, Liu Jianhong suddenly changed his voice, "Friends in the audience, the reporter in front of our station is about to interview Yang Mo before the match, let's see what Yang Mo has to say about this top ten match. What do you think?"

Accompanied by Liu Jianhong's voice, Yang Mo and the reporter He Tingting appeared on the TV screen.

"Yang Mo, you haven't appeared on the domestic court for a long time since the World Youth Championship, let's say hello to the fans who like you first."

He Tingting straightened her chest as she spoke, and handed the microphone in front of Yang Mo.

Yang Mo waved his hand towards the camera, "Hello, fans and friends in China, I'm Yang Mo, thank you for your support for me all the time."

He Tingting: "Yang Mo, the first round of the top ten World Cup qualifiers is about to begin. As the captain of the Chinese team, are you confident to lead the national team to victory?"

Yang Mo: "Because of the club's competition, I have less time to train with everyone, but I will try my best to complete the game and not disappoint the fans who support the national team."

He Tingting: "Now everyone is very optimistic about the situation of the national team's promotion to the World Cup. Do you have anything to say about this?"

Yang Mo: "The higher-ups in this Top Ten match are more supportive of the team's work, and teammates and coach Lippi are also quite well prepared. As long as we perform normally, promotion should not be a problem."

It is reasonable to say that speaking in China does not need to be abroad, and you can't talk too much, and being humble will save you from being ridiculed if you don't do it.

But looking at the entire Group B, Australia and Japan are not weak, but the other teams, Yang Mo, really don't pay attention. It is really impossible to force him to be humble, so it is better to just talk about it.

As soon as Yang Mo's interview here ended, when the live broadcast changed to the studio, Director Tao was the first to smile and said: "It seems that Yang Mo is very confident."

"Without this confidence, Yang Mo would not be able to achieve his current achievements. Yang Mo's performance in the Premier League this season is enough to prove his importance to a team."

Liu Jianhong, who won the Champions League, went to the scene in person. For Yang Mo, his own player, Liu Jianhong is already satisfied and cannot be satisfied.

In fact, it's not just Liu Jianhong. As long as there is a sports practitioner in China, there is no one who doesn't praise Yang Mo.

Domestic professionals are saying that if it is not because of Yang Mo's nationality, based on Yang Mo's current achievements, he must be a strong contender for this generation of champions.

In terms of the honor of the World Cup, Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentina's Messi still have some hope, and Yang Mo, it is not bad to lead the team to enter the World Cup.

But no matter how the international football world positions Yang Mo, in China, Yang Mo is already the king of football in the hearts of fans.

With the end of the preparations, at [-]:[-] p.m. Yanjing time, the first match of the top ten match of the national team's impact on the World Cup officially started.
