Chapter 172 The Troubles of Happiness

In the next few days, Yang Yang began to relax again.

After returning to Amsterdam with the Champions League trophy, grand celebrations were held throughout the city. In particular, the Ajax celebration banquet that night attracted many political and business celebrities from the Netherlands to celebrate.

The next day, the team was officially disbanded, but Yang Yang also sent away his parents, Shen Yuzhu and Wei Zheng, and his uncle and aunt returned to Almere.

Yang Yang returned to his original routine, getting up early every day for morning exercises, and then going to De Tokmost to train alone. Apart from having dinner at Van Gaal's house, he basically did not go out.

Wei Zhen is traveling in Amsterdam with great interest, but every time he sees Yang Yang's hard training, he can't help but sigh that Yang Yang's ability to reach today is not a fluke, even if he scored a lore goal in the Champions League final and helped Aja After he won the Champions League, he did not slack in the slightest, and still worked so hard.

Think about it carefully, if this kind of person can't be kicked out, who should be kicked out?

On the morning of May 31st, Wei Zhen received a call from China. The national youth team leader informed Yang Yang that the team had departed from Beijing to Paris, and then transferred from Paris to Toulon, so that Yang Yang could go directly to Toulon with the team. gather.

Yang Yang and Wei Zhen had already booked their tickets, and immediately flew directly from Amsterdam to Marseille, and then from Marseille to Toulon.

Along the way, Wei Zhen kept introducing to Yang Yang the trip of the National Youth Team to the Toulon Cup.

"The most important thing is training. Many of the main players have just finished playing in the domestic league, so in terms of performance, there will not be too many requirements, but the German head coach Klauschen will come to Toulon for inspection."

"Claw Chen?" Yang Yang heard this name from the Internet.

In order to better prepare for the 2008 Olympic Games, the Chinese Football Association plans to organize long-term training camps for players of the right age in Germany.

"I heard news that he is likely to take over the National Youth Team and be in charge of the 2008 Olympic Games." Wei Zhen reminded.

The Olympics and the World Cup are two hurdles that Chinese football has never been able to get rid of.

Entering the World Cup in 2002, everyone is full of expectations for the World Cup in Germany in 2006, confidently preparing to rush out of Asia and enter the World Cup again, Arihan undertakes such a mission.

As for Krautchen, he is taking on the task of the 2008 Olympic Games.

Wei Zhen reminded him at this time, obviously hoping that Yang Yang would pay more attention.

With Yang Yang's current situation and the strength he has shown, let alone the national youth team, the national team cannot ignore him. As long as there are no accidents, he will definitely be the main force of the 2008 Olympic team.

"Tell me about the Toulon Cup, I don't know much about it, and no one from the Football Association has sent me any information, the game is going to be played tomorrow, and I even know that our opponent is Colombia, and even my opponent I don't know who the player is and what characteristics he has." Yang Yang said with a wry smile.

This kind of preparation is really not even the level of Ajax's second team.

But Wei Zhen also shrugged, "I don't know either, everyone doesn't know."

"How about the game?"

"Just kick it when you get on the field, it counts wherever you go anyway."

Yang Yang smiled bitterly, this is really not his style.

He has always had high demands on himself. Either he doesn't do it, he must try his best to do it.

"The Toulon Cup has produced many stars, such as Papin and Henry. Portugal won the Toulon Cup last year. Cristiano Ronaldo, who played for Manchester United this season, was in Portugal at the time. The team's scouts took a fancy to Ferguson, and it was precisely because he had the basis for the investigation of the Toulon Cup that he was selected in the warm-up match."

Yang Yang knows this player and inherited Beckham's No. 7 jersey at Manchester United. He has a fancy style of play, likes to dribble the ball, and is very fast, but he has mixed reputations in the Premier League and Manchester United because many people think he is too sticky with the ball. .

"Although Portugal finally won the championship, the best player of the tournament was given to Argentina's main midfielder Javier Mascherano, who only finished third."

"Oh, I know him. He is now playing for River Plate and debuted in the Solari family's football school. He is a very promising star in the world."

"That's right." Wei Zhen secretly praised, as expected, he is in Europe, where professional football is developed, and he is well-informed. Even Mascherano is familiar with it. It seems that Yang Yang is not just focusing on playing football.

"What about this year? Are there any new stars competing?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

"It's not you." Wei Zhen replied with a laugh.

Yang Yang smiled awkwardly, "I mean it."

"I'm just telling you the truth." Wei Zhen repeated with a smile, "Have you not figured out how popular you are now?"

Yang Yang was at a loss for words. He really didn't have an impression. He just knew that after the Champions League final, the three major Dutch newspapers put him on the front page of an important page. Many newspapers reported him for several days in a row.

"Seventeen years old, the Champions League final, the winning goal, people who care about football all over the world are paying attention to you, all the media reporters are watching you, I don't know much about foreign countries, but at home, my colleagues told me that you are now His reputation is not lost to Yao Juren at all, so I suggest that you better find a trustworthy person to be in charge of your domestic business affairs."

"What's the meaning?"

"Soon a lot of domestic companies and brands will come to you, and the sponsorship fee given will probably not be lower than Yao Giant. You can't do everything yourself, right? So, if you want to play football with peace of mind, the most important thing is Well, let's find someone reliable."

Yang Yang listened to the big head, but he still has this trouble?

"Let's talk about the Toulon Cup." Yang Yang's head was as big as a bucket, and he quickly changed the subject.

He found that he really is not good at business.

"The most powerful team in this Toulon Cup is the host France. They didn't participate in the competition last year, but this year they came prepared. The overall strength of this French team should not be underestimated. Talé, as well as Bologna's core midfielder Mezzini, as well as midfielders Flamini and Mavubba, and the back line also has Bertod, Columbus, Ziani and other stars who have already played well in Ligue 1, The overall strength is excellent.”

For the players mentioned by Wei Zhen, some are familiar to Yang Yang, such as Pangler and Letale. These two players are cousins ​​and are highly used by Houllier in Liverpool, and everyone is very optimistic about them. the two of them.

The others are relatively unfamiliar, but those who can play in Bologna, Lyon and other teams will definitely not be fuel-efficient lamps, and with so many stars coming together, the strength of this French team is evident.

"If I remember correctly, we should meet France in the second game?"

"Yes, Colombia in the first game, France in the second, Turkey in the third. If you can qualify for the group, the next opponent will be stronger." Wei Zhen also said with a solemn expression.

In addition to France, Colombia and Turkey, the other four teams are Japan, Sweden, Portugal and Brazil. In Yang Yang's view, each team is a strong enemy.

"You scored the lore goal in the Champions League final, which is a good thing for you. It is a rare experience for you to be able to participate in such a high-level event as the Champions League. I believe that after the Champions League, you will play the Toulon Cup. There will be more confidence, which is an advantage.”

When Wei Zhen said this, the conversation changed, "However, the downside is that other teams will definitely pay attention to you, and they will do everything possible to guard against you. Whether you can perform well then depends on you. "

Yang Yang nodded slightly, but he was not afraid of being closely guarded, so he could just take this opportunity to practice stopping the ball.

"Oh, yes, also, you are used to playing with Ajax players in the Netherlands, but in the national youth team, it is best to be mentally prepared, your teammates will definitely not be as good as they were in the Netherlands. ."

Ajax is a new Champions League champion no matter what, and Yang Yang is cooperating with European stars like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart. Even Sneijder is a young international player of the new generation of the Netherlands. It is not comparable to the international players of the National Youth Team, so Wei Zhen hoped that Yang Yang would be better prepared.

…………

…………

When Yang Yang and Wei Zhen arrived in Toulon and were picked up by the organizing committee to check in at a hotel prepared in advance, his teammates of the National Youth Team were still on the flight to Paris.

In the evening of the same day, the National Youth Team arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France, but when they were transferring to another airport, the bus they rented was half an hour late due to traffic jams.

I finally arrived at the airport where I was transferring. It was already night, but the terrifying plane was delayed. At this time, everyone was hungry and tired. They could only buy something at the airport to satisfy their hunger. Can accept the double slaughter of the airport's high prices and exchange rates, a few sandwiches and sodas have eaten nearly three hundred dollars.

After waiting until ten o'clock in the evening, everyone boarded the flight to Toulon.

An hour later, I arrived in Toulon. Fortunately, the staff of the organizing committee had been waiting in Toulon. After receiving the person, they immediately sent it to the hotel. By this time, it was past the early morning.

From 7:00 in the morning in Beijing time to the early morning in Toulon local time, after 24 hours of tossing, everyone was tired and exhausted, already exhausted.

When the team arrived at the hotel, the team leader suddenly thought of Yang Yang and immediately asked the hotel receptionist if any players from the Chinese team arrived at the hotel early?

"You should be asking Yang Yang, right?" The receptionist asked back with a smile.

"Well, yes, Yang Yang, do you know him?"

"Of course, the goal in the Champions League final was amazing, how could he not know him? He arrived at the hotel at noon, and went to the nearby stadium to train in the afternoon. Now he should be resting."

Everyone in the National Youth Team is envious and jealous. On the one hand, they are envious of Yang Yang's fame, and even the hotel receptionist in Toulon knows him. On the other hand, they are jealous of his good luck.

They are all from the National Youth Team. He was full and slept, but they were tossing and turning all the way. Why is there such a big difference?

It's really that people have to throw away more than people!
