Chapter 1271 The evolution of the ball king!
After Real Madrid defeated Juventus [-]-[-] at home and advanced to the Champions League final with a total score of [-]-[-], the media all over the world gave Yang Yang overwhelming praise. He scored five goals in two rounds in the Champions League semi-finals. Such scoring efficiency is amazing.

Many people even believe that when Real Madrid was not at its best, it was Yang Yang who dragged the Real Madrid into the Champions League final by himself, taking a step closer to defending the Triple Crown.

Even, Real Madrid has already grabbed the Big Ears Cup with one hand!
Amidst the public opinion, the French football magazine has just released a magazine, with Yang Yang as the cover, and the title is [The evolution of the football king! ], using a series of articles to comprehensively analyze Yang Yang's progress over the years.

French football can be said to have fully witnessed Yang Yang's growth process. The first article reviewed Yang Yang's performance in Ajax, and believed that Yang Yang at that time was more like a traditional Dutch winger, with fast speed, strong explosive power, excellent dribbling and breakthrough abilities.

"So far, there are still countless fans who miss Yang Yang's debut."

"On the night of December [-], [-], in Bruges, Belgium, Ajax had to beat Bruges to qualify, but in this crucial game, Ajax had a weak away performance and failed to win the opponent."

"When the whole team was almost in despair, Yang Yang, who was only 17 years old, played for the Ajax first team for the first time."

"At that time, no one had any impression of this young teenager, and even the media had very little information about him. Everyone had only one reaction to this substitution, that is, Ajax had completely given up hope."

"Many years later, when the media interviewed the then Ajax head coach Ronald Koeman, the famous Ajax coach said frankly that he really had no hope at the time. He replaced Yang Yang just to fulfill his promise and give Yang Yang a chance. Unexpectedly, the subsequent development was completely beyond everyone's expectations."

"It was in that game, the final stage of the final round of the Champions League group stage, that Yang Yang came out of nowhere. With his dazzling light, his sharp breakthrough on the right flank, and his iconic pendulum, he led Ajax out of the predicament with his genius flashes. With his assists, he helped Ajax get out of the way and advance smoothly."

"Overnight, Yang Yang became famous in the entire European football world, and even attracted attention from all over the world. Everyone began to notice this young rookie in the Ajax youth training camp. Van Gaal, who was the technical director of Ajax at the time, said at the time that Yang Yang is not strictly a genius, but he will surprise the whole world!"

"The sixth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage was just the beginning. Then in the UEFA Champions League knockout round, although Yang Yang failed to grab the main position, he was placed on the bench by Ronald Koeman again and again. Every time, he was able to use his sharp breakthroughs and precise assists to help Ajax break the deadlock."

"Finally, on May 26, [-], Ajax played by Yang Yang walked into the Schalke Stadium in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. The opponent was Porto, a Portuguese super giant led by Mourinho. Yang Yang and his teammates had the last laugh, and he once again became the key to the game!"

"Many years have passed, when we look back at the UEFA Champions League season 11 years ago, when we recall Yang Yang's birth, we still feel excited, because we know that the fledgling young man will rule the entire European football world for ten years in the future!"

"The media praised Yang Yang very much back then, but every year there will be many rookies like Yang Yang emerging in European football. Some of them may be just a flash in the pan, and some may fail to develop to the expectations of the outside world in the end. Those who can really reach their due heights are rare, and there are only a handful of them."

"But Yang Yang is definitely a role model that all young players should learn from, because he not only did it, but he did it almost perfectly!"

The French Football Magazine then began to analyze Yang Yang's years at Ajax, from his role in the game and team tactics, as well as his technical and tactical characteristics and playing style, including Yang Yang's outstanding performance in the French Toulon Cup and the subsequent Asian Cup of the national team.

They finally came to a conclusion, that is, during that period of time, Yang Yang's strength improved by leaps and bounds, and the momentum of progress was amazing. More importantly, he was very self-disciplined, worked very hard, insisted on basic training for a long time, and worked hard to make himself more comprehensive.

Comprehensive, this is a point of view highlighted by the French Football Magazine.

After a long period of tracking and analysis, and with a large amount of data to support them, they came to a conclusion that the reason why Yang Yang is difficult to defend is because he is too comprehensive.

"If he started at Ajax and made rapid progress, then his maturity is inseparable from a team and a manager, Liverpool and Liverpool's manager Benitez at the time."

"During the Ajax period, Yang Yang played as a right winger, but in fact his left foot is as proficient as his right foot. After two or three summers of transfer rumors, Yang Yang rejected many European giants including Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Chelsea, and chose Benitez's Liverpool. This was questioned at the time, but it was considered very wise afterwards."

"In Liverpool, Yang Yang didn't appear on the right. He was more active on the left. He began to use his speed and breakthrough ability to drive in from behind the left or cut in with the ball. This made his offense more stealthy and more threatening."

"So far, many people are wondering whether Benitez really created Yang Yang?"

"But in fact, Yang Yang has stated in public more than once that Benitez has helped him a lot. Whether it is technical and tactical accomplishment or his role on the court, it has had a profound impact on him."

"As early as when he played in the Eredivisie League, Yang Yang's scoring efficiency was already very high. But in fact, we all know that the Eredivisie's goals in those years were very high. After these years, the Eredivisie striker has been able to maintain a stable performance after landing in the four major leagues. There are only two players, one is Yang Yang and the other is Suarez. The other players are not as good as before."

"In the Premier League, after Yang Yang became a left winger, he began to become more characteristic of a modern frontcourt attacker. Cutting in from the left began to become his symbol. Yang Yang's area was also recognized by the media and fans during that period of time. He began to perform on the stage of the top league and began to dominate European football!"

"In Liverpool, Yang Yang began to reduce his breakthroughs and dribbling, but this does not represent a degradation in ability, but just makes his playing style more secretive, more threatening, and more concise and practical."

"Even after so many years, we can still find that Yang Yang's technical and tactical style tended to be stable during his time at Liverpool. Over the years, Yang Yang has become more comprehensive and better, precisely because he has laid a solid foundation during his time at Liverpool, and then continued to develop and improve in an all-round way on this basis."

"According to OPTA statistics, in the 250-250 and [-]-[-] seasons, Messi completed a total of [-] and [-] successful dribbles, making him the veritable No. [-] dribble king in European football. Hazard, who played for Real Madrid, is second only to Messi. He completed [-] and [-] times, ranking second."

"Another Real Madrid winger, Di Maria, also ranks seventh. As for Yang Yang, his success is only half of Messi's, and he ranks No. 13. It seems that the statistics seem terrible."

"But if we go deeper into the analysis, Yang Yang's dribble attempts are the fewest among the top [-] players on the list, but his dribble success rate is the highest, and most of his dribbles are vertical breakthroughs. It's not difficult to find that Yang Yang doesn't often try dribbles, but once he tries, he can basically succeed."

"More importantly, we must know that there is a huge difference in tactical threats between horizontal and vertical dribbles. The threat of the latter is far greater than that of the former. Most of Yang Yang's dribbles are vertical dribbles, which is especially rare."

"What's more interesting is that in other OPTA lists, Yang Yang doesn't have the most shots. He is significantly less than Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, but he has the highest shot-on-target rate and the highest scoring efficiency. These two statistics are the best in European football."

"In addition, in terms of other statistics, including assists, pass success rate, pass threats and other offensive statistics, Yang Yang can be seen in the top ten. Even in terms of interceptions and steals, if you leave the defenders and defensive midfielders aside, Yang Yang ranks No. 14 in the list of midfielders and frontcourt offensive players. This can be regarded as the statistics of a tactical center."

Later, French Football Magazine also posted Yang Yang’s game heat map, analyzing the differences between Yang Yang, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and other superstars. It is obvious that the Portuguese basically stays in the frontcourt, and he prefers to move to the left side of the frontcourt.

But Yang Yang's game heat map covers the largest area. He covers almost any position in the midfield, and often retreats to help the midfield.

"In terms of running data, Yang Yang ranks first among forwards in running distance, and the average running distance is also the first. This is quite an astonishing number, because it means that Yang Yang is running and covering almost every game without hesitating, and he is constantly looking for and creating opportunities."

"Van Basten said that a running player will not be restricted!"

"This also explains why Yang Yang is difficult to be restricted by defense, because he is always running, because he is very comprehensive, so comprehensive that he can play any position in the midfield."

"Facing such a player, how can we defend against it?"
