Chapter 176 Opportunity Comes! [Add updates for the leader CLV Orange, ask for a subscription monthly ticket]

"In the early hours of this morning, Beijing time, the Chinese National Youth Team went to the Toulon Cup in France."

"Due to the hasty departure of the trip, the preparations were somewhat insufficient. The team did not arrive in Toulon until one o'clock in the morning on the day of the game. After a short rest, the first group match against Colombia was ushered in that night."

"In the face of various difficulties, the national youth players performed very positively and overcame various unfavorable factors with their own efforts. Finally, in the first game, they defeated Colombia, a strong South American team, [-]-[-], and won the Toulon Cup."

"The core player of the national youth team, Yang Yang, a young player who played for Ajax, performed well."

……

"After the game, Tie Sheng, head coach of the National Youth Team, was interviewed by our reporter."

"Our journey this time is very difficult. The players can go all out to win the game under such a difficult situation, which is enough to show that the players have a strong sense of responsibility and a strong desire to win on the field. This makes me very satisfied."

"This is an encounter. Due to our hasty start, the player's state has not been adjusted, and several main players have not played, so this game probably only played 60.00% of the level, especially Yang Yang."

"Although this is the first time that Yang Yang has played for a national team, he gave me a very good impression. His level is very high. He handles the ball and moves on the court at a very high level. I believe that his experience in Ajax in the Netherlands has given him a considerable improvement, and our next important task is how to further play Yang Yang's role on the court."

……

"Yang Yang was also interviewed by our reporter after the game."

"Because it was the first game, neither I nor my teammates were particularly familiar with each other, but each of us worked very hard and tried our best to help the team win. This is the reason why we were able to defeat Colombia in the end."

"The coach said I have a great effect? ​​No, I think it is the result of the joint efforts of all the team."

"For my own performance, I think it's about [-] points, barely passing, and I can do better."

"The next idea? I think it is to play every game steadily. I hope to be worthy of this jersey. I will do my best to defend its dignity."

"My career plan... I haven't thought about it so much for the time being. I'm only 17 years old, and my strength is far from enough. I hope to continue to polish and improve myself in the Eredivisie. Ajax is a very good training platform. There are European competitions every year. I hope to be able to become the main force as soon as possible."

"Contract renewal? Yes, my agent is negotiating with the club to renew the contract. It's not a big problem."

Following the national TV report, the national media also paid attention to the news from the Toulon Cup.

The [-]-[-] victory over Colombia in the first game of the group stage undoubtedly excited the domestic media and fans, especially Yang Yang's debut for the national team. Although he failed to become the protagonist on the field, his performance was still affirmed by the industry.

Many football professionals have commented that although Yang Yang only came off the bench for more than 20 minutes, he performed very well, handled the ball very stably, and the team's three goals all came from his planning.

"Contributing to the team does not necessarily have to be goals or assists. For example, Yang Yang's first game is a very good example of the characteristics that a core player should possess. He knows that he will be closely marked by his opponent. Colombia has never dared to let Yang Yang one-on-one. They know that one-on-one cannot prevent Yang Yang."

"So, Yang Yang made good use of the opponent's psychology, took the initiative to attract the defensive attention, and opened up space for his teammates. Chen Tao assisted Zhu Ting with the ball from him, Liu Yu assisted Mao Jianqing with the ball from Yang Yang, and Hao Junmin's shot, Yang Yang's pass was very clever."

"It should be said that Yang Yang has shown the level of a European professional player in just over 20 minutes, making us all believe that he can perform well in the Champions League, become Ajax's gold medal substitute, and score the lore goal in the Champions League final. This is by no means a fluke."

On the night of the second day of the game, the National TV once again reported the Toulon Cup of the National Youth Team, which focused on the special discussion class of the National Youth Team on the morning of the second day of the game.

"We Chinese have a saying that is very true, there is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher."

"Although Yang Yang is only 17 years old, he gives me the feeling that he is a player who is very good at thinking, and his academic performance is very good. He may be recommended to the University of Amsterdam. His personal experience of Dutch football has undoubtedly brought us very valuable experience." Coach Tie Sheng said in an interview.

"Our coaching staff hopes that by organizing such a discussion class, our players can see more clearly the gap between themselves and the top level of European football. Only by seeing the gap can we improve."

Yang Yang does not think that he is imparting experience, but thinks that this is a communication channel to promote mutual understanding.

In an interview with reporters, he also said that Chinese football is indeed a lot behind European football, but he has been working hard to learn.

"I think more players should be allowed to play in Europe. Don't blindly pursue fame. The most important thing is to be able to play football."

In addition to the coaching staff, the international players of the national youth team also praised Yang Yang in interviews with the media. Although he only played halftime, Chen Tao, who was elected as the best player in the first round, even embarrassingly expressed that he deserved it.

"I think Yang Yang performed best in the first game. From him, I really saw the gap between myself and European players. I hope to have the opportunity to play in Europe and continue to improve my strength."

For the national youth team's victory in the first game, Yang Yang's debut for the national team has been highly praised by the outside world. It is also agreed that Yang Yang has brought very positive and obvious changes to the national youth team.

However, many media analysts believe that it is gratifying to win the first game, but the second game against the French team is the most critical.

The national youth team is in the 19-year-old age group, but the French team is in the 21-year-old age group. Many players in the team have played for teams in Ligue [-] and the four major leagues. The overall strength is very good. For the national youth team, it will be a huge test.

Head coach Tie Sheng said in an interview with the media that Yang Yang will start the game and the team will go all out to try to defeat the host France in the second game and qualify with two consecutive victories ahead of schedule.

The domestic fans are also full of emotions and are full of expectations for the performance of the National Youth Team.

The major websites are even more moved after hearing the news. Although there is no live broadcast at the scene, they will broadcast the game live through text broadcast.

…………

On the evening of June [-]rd, Toulon, France.

Compared with the first game against Colombia, the national youth team made three changes in position.

First of all, on the front line, Yang Yang starts with Zhu Ting, in the midfield, Chen Tao starts on the right, Hao Junmin still occupies the left, the midfielder is equipped with double midfielders, and the defensive center Feng Xiaoting starts, and the other positions remain unchanged.

Although he has been with the team for two days, the cooperation between Yang Yang and his teammates is still unfamiliar, and the French team is also strictly guarding against him. The central defender Ziani is always with him, and the midfielder Flamini's help defense makes it difficult for Yang Yang to find opportunities on the field.

Flamini is also a very smart player. He performed well in Marseille in the past season. Although he was a substitute player, he left a deep impression on people. He also played in the UEFA Cup final. He has been favored by Arsene Wenger of Arsenal. He will switch to Arsenal in the Premier League this summer, which shows his strength.

Under the strict defense of the opponent, Yang Yang continued to use the playing style of the previous game, running in a wide range to get rid of the defense, acting as a transitional role for the team, organizing and planning the attack.

But the obvious difference from facing Colombia is that the French team is a European team after all, and the overall skills and tactics must be more rigorous. Unlike Colombia, which leaves room for the national youth team, and the overall strength of the host players is also stronger.

Almost at the beginning of the first half, the French team played against the Chinese team in the 30-meter zone, and the situation was one-sided.

This not only frightened the international students who came to watch the game, but also made the domestic fans who watched the text live broadcast frightened.

The first threatening attack of the Chinese team occurred in the 9th minute. After receiving a pass from Chen Tao on the right, Yang Yang quickly launched a counterattack.

Afterwards, the French team continued to increase their offensive efforts, especially the two twin stars Pangele and Le Tall who played for Liverpool. They were extremely active in the frontcourt.

Fortunately, the team's midfield defense is very tenacious.

In the No.205 minute, Yang Yang planned another attack. He leaned against Flamini with his body. When receiving a pass from his teammate, he stopped to his left side, turned around and passed the ball straight to the French left defender Bertold.

Chen Tao jumped in quickly, and after catching the ball, he went to the front of the penalty area to make a pass, but was cleared by the opponent's central defender Columbus with a header ahead of time.

Seven minutes later, after Yang Yang received a long pass from the backcourt, he took two steps and suddenly took a long shot.

The quality of this powerful and heavy shot was good. Yang Yang was very sure, but the distance was a bit far, and the opponent's goalkeeper was already prepared, and he stood in his position in time to hug the ball.

The first half ended [-]-[-]. Neither side could score a goal, but the Chinese team was at an absolute disadvantage on the scene.

Under the test of a strong team, Yang Yang also became the only shining point on the field.

Both midfielders did not make substitution adjustments, and continued to use the opening lineup, but the stalemate on the scene remained the same.

The French team played against the Chinese team and repeatedly created dangers, but the Chinese team defended very tenaciously. The goalkeeper Guan Zhen performed very well and refused to let the opponent score.

After 10 minutes into the [-]th, on the one hand, they were eager to win, and on the other hand, they also felt that Ziani was too physically exhausted to keep up with Yang Yang's footsteps. The French team finally chose to make a substitution, replacing No. [-] Moscan and Ziani to strengthen the frontcourt attack.

At this time, France changed into a three-back.

And Yang Yang also realized that the opportunity he was waiting for finally came.
