"In the early hours of this morning, Beijing time, in the second round of the Toulon Cup Group A group match held in Toulon, France, the Chinese National Youth Team narrowly beat the host French team [-]-[-] with core player Yang Yang's last-minute lore goal."

"This game attracted many French fans and Chinese students to watch the game."

"Because the average age is two years older than the national youth team, the Chinese team is very passive on the scene, but the national youth players continued their outstanding performance in the first round, played very tenaciously, and firmly defended the goal."

"At a critical moment in the second half, Yang Yang stepped forward, retreated to the backcourt to catch the ball, dribbled the ball for a long distance of 67 meters, passed three opponents in a row, passed the goalkeeper and shot an empty goal, winning the second victory for the National Youth Team."

"After the game, Yang Yang was officially selected as the best player in the game."

"The following is a real-time report sent by our team reporter Wei Zhen from the front."

……

"Okay, thank you host, I'm Wei Zhen."

"I'm in Toulon, France now, and what I hold in my hand are several influential local newspapers in France. They all focused on the game where the national youth team beat the French team last night."

"First of all, you can look at [French Football]. They used the title of the failure of the French Legion. They believed that the French team led by coach Raymond did not fully play their due level in the game. They controlled the situation and advantages on the field and made as many as [-] shots, but finally lost the game."

"They believe that when facing the Chinese team, which is two years younger than them, the French team did not provide effective means on the offensive end. Instead, the coach Raymond's substitution liberated Yang Yang of the Chinese team."

"The report specifically mentioned Yang Yang's performance in the Champions League final. He believed that Yang Yang, as an important player for Ajax, scored the winning goal in the Champions League final. His strength should not be underestimated. Even against French players who were three or four years older than him, he was not inferior. What's more important is that the final winning goal was three players in a row and the pendulum was amazing. It left a very deep impression on people."

"There is also this one, L'Equipe. They think that the Chinese team's defense is impeccable, and the French team's offense is weak, and they return in vain. Moreover, L'Equipe also specifically reported on Yang Yang. In addition to commenting on Yang Yang's outstanding performance in this game, he also mentioned two players. One is Ronaldo, the original creator of the pendulum, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who played for Manchester United, is the little Ronaldo in the mouth of many fans."

"In last year's Toulon Cup, Ronaldinho was three or four years younger than other players, but he performed very well. He helped the Portuguese team go all the way from the group stage to the final, and finally defeated Italy to win the championship. L'Equipe believes that Yang Yang's game against France reminds people of Ronaldinho last year."

"Let's take a look at the French newspaper Le Figaro. They described the French team as having lost an asymmetrical battle, and commented that Yang Yang defeated a team by himself."

"There is also Le Monde. They think that the Chinese National Youth Team has shown amazing tenacity and desire to win. On the other hand, the French team obviously has no determination to win the game in front of an opponent who is two years younger than them. At the same time, they think that Yang Yang of the Chinese team has left a very deep impression on people. His strength is not inferior to that of French stars Pangler and Le Talay."

"It can be said that early this morning, the whole of France was paying attention to this game. The major newspapers had a very high evaluation of the Chinese team, especially Yang Yang, while criticizing and accusing the French team overwhelmingly."

"After last night's game, I met the future head coach of the Olympic team, German coach Klauschen. He took the initiative to talk to me about this game. He thought that the Chinese team's defensive system is very good. The French team is two years older. The overall strength advantage is obvious. A draw should be a more reasonable result."

"But at the critical moment, Yang Yang's personal performance determines the outcome of the game. He believes that Yang Yang created many opportunities in the game, but the player's ability to grasp the opportunities is lacking. Otherwise, the Chinese team would have already scored in the first half."

"For Yang Yang, Clausen believes that he will become the core player of the Olympic Games and even the national team."

"As for the problems exposed by the Chinese team in the game, Clausen focused on two points. One is that there are too many mistakes in passing and receiving, which makes it easy for us to lose control of the field and give the French team a clear advantage throughout the game."

"Another point is offense. It wasn't obvious enough when playing against Colombia, because the overall skills and tactics of South American teams have always been relatively lazy, but it was very obvious when playing against France. Only Yang Yang can play normally in France's defensive formation. Without Yang Yang, this game will be a draw or even lose."

"As for the Chinese people's next trip to the Toulon Cup, Clausen believes that it is still necessary to play steadily and focus on the next game, but he personally looks forward to Yang Yang's next performance."

"According to the news I got from the coaching staff of the national youth team, Yang Yang is in a very good state and very excited, and asked to continue to play the third game. He hopes that the team can maintain the current momentum and state."

…………

…………

The schedule of the Toulon Cup is very tight. When the domestic team is still discussing the Chinese team's [-]-[-] victory over the French team, and Yang Yang's three-man and pendulum winning goal, the Chinese team in Toulon has ushered in the third round of the group stage.

Sure enough, as Wei Zhen expected, the coaching staff adjusted the rotation according to the status of the players, but Yang Yang started again.

Although Turkey was the third runner-up in the last World Cup, the players participating in the Toulon Cup are young, and their overall strength is inferior to that of France, and even slightly inferior to the Colombian team. This makes the Chinese team eager to try.

In the [-] World Cup, the Chinese team, which participated in the competition for the first time, was completely defeated at the feet of Turkey, which made many fans in China look forward to the national youth team's shame of the national team.

At the beginning of the game, Yang Yang was very active and launched another counterattack in 2 minutes. He sent a wonderful pass to Hao Junmin on the left, assisted Hao Junmin to break the goal of Turkey, and opened the scoring for the Chinese team.

Only 2 minutes later, Yang Yang got another chance. He stopped the ball in the middle and got rid of the defenders, then dribbled forward and went straight behind the defense. Mao Jianqing, who started the game, quickly caught up and hit the goal with his right foot, extending the score to [-]-[-].

After that, the Chinese team continued to attack. This time, after receiving the ball from the right, it passed back to Chen Tao, who cut in to the center. The latter made a wonderful pass to Mao Jianqing.

But just 1 minute later, Mao Jianqing made up for it. After withdrawing from the midfield to steal the ball, he quickly launched a counterattack. When he was pressed by the opponent's defender, he lost the ball again, but Yang Yang launched a counterattack from the right.

Three to zero!
No one thought that the Chinese team scored three goals in a row in less than 10 minutes, which completely stunned the young Turkish players.

After the opening round of attack, Turkey also quickly reacted and started to attack, and soon in the No. 11 minute, it took advantage of the Chinese team's defensive mistakes twice in a row, and made two threatening shots within 1 minute.

Then the game entered a stalemate, and the Chinese team gradually slowed down their offensive and focused on stabilizing their defense.

In the second half, Tie Sheng, coach of the national youth team, replaced Yang Yang, the number one hero who had two passes and one shot, and replaced him with striker Wan Cheng during the half-time break, hoping to give Yang Yang more rest time to prepare for the next semi-final.

Although no one said it, but no one can deny that in just three games, Yang Yang has proved the fact that he is the core star of the National Youth Team with his strength and performance, and all the players in the team also agree with this point of view.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Türkiye launched a counterattack.

Especially in 4 minutes, Turkey replaced young player Arda Turan. This player played for Galatasaray. He was about the same age as Yang Yang, both 17 years old, but he performed quite well on the court.

After coming off the bench, Turan planned waves of offensives for the Turkish team. Finally, in the No.703 minute, the Chinese team paid the price for the frequent defensive mistakes in the middle. Turan's through ball was passed to the frontcourt. With the cooperation of the two Turkish forwards, Brut scored a single goal and tied the score at [-]-[-].

After that, Turkey continued to increase its offensive strength, but the Chinese team also realized the problem and took strict precautions all the way.

In the end, the score of three to one was maintained until the end of the game.

Relying on the opening round of attack, the Chinese team defeated Turkey [-]-[-], won the three consecutive victories in the Toulon Cup group, and proudly qualified with a record of complete victories.

With two passes and one shot, Yang Yang was once again elected the best player in the game.

In another game, the French team won Colombia [-]-[-] at home and qualified second in the group.

Group B also ended all the group matches the next day. The Japanese team had two draws and one loss, leaving the group at the bottom of the group. Brazil qualified first in the group with two wins and one loss. Sweden ranked second in the group after beating Portugal with one win, one draw and one loss.

As a result, the semi-final schedule of the Toulon Cup is also freshly released. The Chinese team will face Sweden, while the French team will face Brazil. The winner of the two semi-finals will enter the Toulon Cup final.

Although thousands of miles away, and there is no live TV broadcast, the outstanding performance of the national youth team in the Toulon Cup still aroused the domestic fans and the media.

In the three games, except for the first one which was not obvious enough, Yang Yang played a crucial role in the remaining two key games. All the fans are obvious to all. This makes domestic fans full of expectations for this 17-year-old teenager.

Some domestic football veterans even publicly stated that Yang Yang will be the future hope of Chinese football and the future leader of the national team.

But there are also many rational people in the industry calling for the media and fans to keep calm and not to praise and kill the young players of the national youth team, especially Yang Yang, after all, he is only 17 years old.

But no matter what, Yang Yang's popularity in China skyrocketed like a rocket, and he became completely popular.
