Chapter 313 A world-class stage

The next day, when the national youth team, under the leadership of head coach Klauschen, came across the hotel to prepare for the game against an amateur team in Utrecht, they were immediately taken aback by the lively scene outside the stadium.

Nearly a thousand fans and over a hundred media outlets gathered outside the training ground.

When the players from the national youth team arrived, everyone gathered around and shouted loudly.

"Yang Yang! Yang Yang!!! Yang Yang!!!"

Even the weather-beaten Clausen couldn't help but be a little surprised by the battle and the momentum.

This is not Amsterdam, this is Utrecht.

Who would have thought that Yang Yang would still have such a huge attraction here.

When the fans and the media saw Yang Yang appearing, they rushed forward one after another, and the scene was even chaotic for a while.

In fact, after the national youth team arrived in the Netherlands, it was not without the media and fans who came to watch the team's training, but it was mostly domestic media, as well as Chinese and overseas students, but now even the media from the Netherlands and even Europe, as well as Dutch fans, came. This battle has really never been seen.

"Hey, is he so popular in Holland?"

"For sure, when I went to Utrecht for trial training, many fans called Yang Yang's name at me." Chen Tao laughed.

"why?"

"How would I know? Maybe I made a mistake." Chen Tao smiled awkwardly.

But this can be regarded as indirectly confirming one thing, that is, Yang Yang really has super attractiveness in Dutch football.

"You have to know that the authoritative organization in Germany now evaluates the worth of players. Yang Yang's worth ranks first among young players, even higher than Santos' famous genius Robinho. You can imagine for yourself."

After listening to Chen Tao's words, the teammates of the national youth team couldn't help being confused. How did they know how to imagine?

"Let's put it this way, if Yang Yang leaves Ajax, the next step is definitely to go to a giant team that all of us are familiar with, and either he doesn't go, or he must give the core players, and his worth will not be less than 3000 million euros."

"3000 million?" The teammates were speechless.

Chen Tao added, "Remember, it's Euros, not RMB."

Everyone was dumbfounded, it was close to [-] million RMB, which can be said to be an astronomical figure.

Chen Tao's transfer to Anderlecht was only 80 euros, and they already thought it was very high. They didn't expect Yang Yang to be worth more than 3000 million euros, and they couldn't even imagine it.

"The winner of the Champions League, the European Golden Boy Award, the UEFA Cup champion and best player, last season's Eredivisie champion and best player, these top halos are not empty, he has worked hard bit by bit."

Chen Tao looked at Yang Yang who was being interviewed by media reporters on the sidelines, and said adoringly.

Now, Yang Yang is his role model and the goal he strives for.

Some players of the National Youth Team, including Feng Xiaoting and Zhou Haibin, also admire Yang Yang very much, and each of them has a strong heart in their hearts, wanting to perform in the World Youth Championship.

Yang Yang told them that Guido Albes, the famous Dutch agent who managed Zheng Zhi and Chen Tao's study abroad, will bring scouts from Dutch clubs to watch the game during the World Youth Championship. As long as they perform well, everyone will have a chance.

After Yang Yang shined in European football, with Zheng Zhi, Zhao Junzhe and others studying abroad one after another, especially after his teammate Chen Tao also completed studying abroad, all the players with some strength in the national youth team are eager to go abroad to prove themselves.

The World Youth Championship is the best stage to show their own strength.

…………

…………

As the game approached, after many players including Yang Yang returned to the team, Kraushen also seized every opportunity to play the cards he was still preparing for one after another, including offensive tactical drills.

Press!Every step of the way!
This is what Clausen emphasized the most. He requires all players to implement high-intensity pressing tactics against opponents, leaving them no room for thinking and playing the ball calmly.

Krautchen's tactical requirements are in line with the current mainstream trend of European football, and are also very consistent with Ajax's tactics, so Yang Yang has no problem adapting to it.

Chen Tao has trained with Yang Yang in Ajax for several months, and he is no stranger to this set.

Feng Xiaoting and Zhou Haibin benefited from the lessons learned during the national team period, and they were able to quickly understand this style of play.

But what really surprised Yang Yang was a new center forward, Gao Lin.

According to the news Yang Yang got, Gao Lin has not played in the domestic league so far, which can be said to be a blank sheet of paper, but he was selected into the National Youth Team by Krautchen and entrusted with important tasks.

He is a little taller than Yang Yang, with good physical fitness and solid basic skills. He can hold the ball and carry people, and his speed is not bad. Among domestic players, he is considered a very good center forward.

What really surprised Yang Yang was that he was very smart in several presses and running positions, and he was also one of the players who received the most praise from Krautchen in training.

In a short training session, he succeeded in anti-offside twice, ran single-handedly, was praised by Clausen by name, and personally demonstrated the running position.

Then, when he stopped to pass the ball in the backcourt, he sent a wonderful pass to Yang Yang, making Yang Yang give him a thumbs up.

After the training session was over, Yang Yang was also very curious about this new teammate, so he took the initiative to walk over.

"Good job!" Yang Yang boasted.

Gao Lin was surprised, and nodded flattered, "It's nothing, I will do what the coach says."

"This is already very rare. You have really understood Clausen's intention." Yang Yang laughed.

"Thank you." Gao Lin smiled modestly.

It can be seen that he is somewhat reserved in front of Yang Yang.

As a player who has never even played in a domestic league, facing a domestic superstar like Yang Yang who has made his mark in European football, it is impossible to say that he is not a little nervous.

"No matter what, work hard, let's work hard together." Yang Yang encouraged with a smile.

"Okay, definitely."

Watching Yang Yang leave, Gao Lin still couldn't believe that Yang Yang would come over to talk to him, and even praised him several times, which really surprised him.

Yang Yang didn't have any other intentions, he just felt that Gao Lin was indeed very capable, and Kraushen had a unique vision.

Although it is just a training session, many things can be seen.

To put it bluntly, what cannot be played on the training ground cannot be shown on the court.

Then Yang Yang went to another new teammate, Lu Lin.

This is a player from Guangdong. He is currently playing for the second-tier China League One team in China. He has performed well, so he was selected for this year's National Youth Team and is valued by Kraushen.

Faced with Yang Yang's praise, Lu Lin's reaction was not much better than Gao Lin's. He seemed even more shy and restrained.

Yang Yang’s impression of him comes from his superb left footwork, but he is not tall, but his speed is not very fast, which somewhat limits his development space, but no matter what, a left-footed player with excellent ball control skills is still worth looking forward to.

Although he didn't have a deep chat with Krautchen, Yang Yang felt that whether it was Gao Lin or Lu Lin, he could see Krautchen's selection criteria and his preferred style of play, which was more consistent with what Alihan currently advocated by the national team.

As for the group of national team teammates in his team, Yang Yang is also full of expectations.

He believes that purely in terms of strength, several players in the team have enough strength to play in the Eredivisie.

As a Chinese player, he certainly hopes that more and more teammates will bravely go abroad and break out in the European league.

…………

…………

Before the national youth team announced the squad, several well-known European gaming companies offered the Chinese team very low odds of winning the championship, which was the worst among the 24 teams, even worse than Panama and Syria.

The reason is simple, Chinese players are always unable to bear the pressure at critical moments.

But after the National Youth Team announced the squad and Yang Yang was officially selected for the National Youth Team, the odds offered by the gaming company immediately increased, and he directly rushed to No.15, barely in the middle.

However, they are not optimistic about the Chinese team, because they believe that one Yang Yang cannot carry the entire team.

Among the 24 teams, Argentina is the number one favorite to win the championship. This team has gathered a group of young stars who have already gained fame, such as the goalkeeper Ustari, Garay and Zabaleta in the defense, Bigglia and Gago in the midfield, Messi and Aguero in the striker.

Each of these players is no stranger to European football, and many of them are well-known talented rookies.

Second only to Argentina is Brazil, another strong team in South America. Yang Yang's teammate Felipe Luiz in Ajax is in the current team, and this team also has famous players like Rafinha and Sobis.

Spain is another team with a lot of calls to win the championship. Alexis, Raul Albiol, Jose Enrique, Juanfran, Cesc Fabregas, David Silva and Llorente and other talented Spanish rookies.

Among them, Cesc Fabregas and David Silva are the most famous.

In addition to these very popular teams, the host Netherlands is also full of talents.

Ajax teammates such as Vlaar, Maduro, Emmanuel Nursen, Ryan Babel, etc. are all in this team. In addition, Eindhoven's genius Afella, and Collins John, who broke the record of the youngest goal scorer in the Eredivisie before Yang Yang, are also in this team.

It can be said that the World Youth Championship is a world-class stage that gathers all young players from all over the world to jointly demonstrate their strength.

Although Yang Yang is well-known in European football, the overall strength of the Chinese team is not strong, so the outside world does not think highly of his trip to the World Youth Championship.

But Yang Yang himself is full of expectations, because he can feel that many teammates in the team are full of longing.

They want to study abroad and let the whole world know them.

And the World Youth Championship is their best stage!
