Chapter 173 Big Name

Tie Sheng woke up from the sofa in the cafe, only to feel unbearable pain all over his body.

Several of his assistants were sitting opposite, all still sleeping with their heads covered, their snoring getting louder and louder.

It was midnight after the team arrived in Toulon last night. The players didn't even eat anything and went back to their rooms to rest. But the coaching staff couldn't do anything about it. They went to the cafe and ordered a cup of coffee each to study today's game. .

One of the first questions for the coaching staff is how to make good use of Yang Yang.

This is a happy conundrum.

A right winger who can shine in the Europa League and score a lore at a critical moment in the Champions League final is too high for the current national youth team. How to make good use of him has become a very important part of the coaching staff. Headache problem.

Yang Yang is two years younger than the current players of the National Youth Team, but his strength is very good. He has also experienced competitions such as the Champions League final. The strength of the game is definitely second to none in the team. A sharp knife for the team, but the key is how to use him well?

It's natural for the entire team to organize tactics around him, but this is a general statement. How should tactics be organized around him? How does the player work with him? How to play his threat?

Yang Yang's teammates in Ajax are European talents like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart, and his right-sided partner Trabelsi is a Tunisian international, a right-back in the top ten of the world's football players, Sneijder, De Jong, Wesley Songk and others are also strong international players in strong European teams.

It can be said that the conditions that Ajax can give him cannot be given in the current national youth team.

But in public and private, Yang Yang must be used well.

The National Youth Team is a national team. Tie Sheng definitely wants to lead the team well. Using Yang Yang well will greatly increase the strength of the National Youth Team, but if Yang Yang is not used well, he and the Football Association will be questioned regardless of the team's performance. .

More importantly, Alihan arranged for Yang Yang to play the Toulon Cup, which was meant to let him run in with the domestic players, because after the Toulon Cup, the Asian Cup was next.

This is the first time that China has hosted the Asian Cup, and everyone in the country is full of expectations and desires.

In the decades of Chinese football history, it has never won an Asian Cup.

But the coaching staff talked for a few hours last night, but couldn't come up with a reason. Until the early morning, they couldn't stand it any longer, and they fell asleep on the sofa.

Tie Sheng suddenly remembered Wei Zhen, maybe he could offer some advice.

When he thought of it, he did it, and Tie Sheng immediately returned to the room. After washing, he went to knock on Wei Zhen's door.

The latter is a reporter from the national television sports channel, and they have known each other for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zhen was not in the room, he could only make a phone call, and finally found someone in the lobby of the hotel.

"Xiao Wei."

Tie Sheng stepped forward in a hurry, looked around, but was a little surprised, "Where's Yang Yang?"

"out."

"Go out?" Tie Sheng's face suddenly sank.

In China, he has a nickname called Tie Dan. As the name suggests, the nickname basically reflects his character and style of leading the team.

Although Yang Yang played very well in Ajax and is currently the biggest star of this national team, but the game is going to be played at night, so it's a bit outrageous to go out to play at this time, right?

"Xiao Wei, why didn't you stop him?"

Wei Zhen noticed the change in Tie Sheng's face, and after pondering his tone, he immediately understood that there was a misunderstanding, and immediately stood up and pulled Tie Sheng to sit down with a smile, "Guide Tie, you misunderstood, he didn't go out to play, but Went out to practice in the morning."

"Morning exercise?" Tie Sheng was greatly surprised.

"That's right, this is a habit he developed in the Netherlands. Go to bed early and get up early. Every morning when you get up, you go out for a morning exercise with a ball. If you don't run a few kilometers, you won't come back."

Tie Sheng was taken aback, "Is it like this every day?"

"Well, almost, at least I heard that from the coaches and players of Ajax and Almere, there is a park over there in Almere, and there is a concrete wall that was broken by Yang Yang's kick. It will be a tourist attraction in the future.”

Tie Sheng was really shocked, but at the same time he was somewhat ashamed. He had misunderstood Yang Yang.

"Don't worry, Tie Gui, I can guarantee that he is definitely the most professional player I have ever seen."

Tie Sheng looked at Wei Zhen deeply and nodded to show that he believed it.

"I'm looking for you for this. Our coaching staff has been having a headache last night. How should Yang Yang be used?"

"Don't let him play?"

"It's easy to say, but how do other players cooperate with him? He just came to the team, and he didn't even practice with us once. We also discredited him. You know, we have never played such a big name. Player." Tie Sheng smiled wryly.

That is an important player of the Champions League champion team, and the hero who scored the lore goal in the Champions League final, let alone in the National Youth Team, even in the national team, Yang Yang is a veritable big name.

Wei Zhen laughed instead, "Guide Tie, do you know? Yang Yang was talking to me about this issue yesterday."

"Then what did he say?" Tie Sheng asked with concern.

"Yang Yang also feels that he has never practiced together with the team. He also doesn't know what his teammates are and what the team is like. The most terrible thing is that the game is going to be played tonight, and he doesn't even have time to talk to him about it. The team practiced together, and he was also very worried that he would not play well on the field and affect the team's performance."

"He... really said that?" Tie Sheng was a little surprised.

This is a little different from the big names in his impression.

"Really." Wei Zhen said, just when he saw Yang Yang jumping the ball in from the gate of the hotel, he immediately pointed to the gate, "He's back, if you don't believe me, ask him yourself, Yang Yang, here."

Yang Yang came back sweating and was about to go back to his room to take a shower, but he didn't expect to see Wei Zhen in the lobby. The one next to him who had seen the photos on the website was Tie Sheng, the current head coach of the National Youth Team.

"Hello, Director Tie, I'm very happy to meet you, I'm Yang Yang." Yang Yang immediately greeted you.

Tie Sheng has also been looking at Yang Yang, from Yang Yang's sweaty appearance, he has completely believed Wei Zhen's words.

"Hello, Yang Yang, I am very glad that you can come to the National Youth Team. I welcome you on behalf of all the coaching staff and players of the team."

"Thank you, you are too kind, Tie Gui."

After a few polite greetings, the three sat down in a corner of the lobby.

Wei Zhen knew that this was the first time the two met, and they were both unfamiliar, so he took the initiative to chat about the game tonight.

"Iron guide, I personally think so."

"Well, um, you said." Tie Sheng replied seriously.

“As for me, I’m new here, and maybe even my teammates don’t even recognize them right now. I don’t think it’s appropriate to let me go. If possible, I’d like to play a substitute first and observe my teammates’ playing habits and the team’s tactics on the sidelines. ."

Yang Yang took the initiative to mention it, but Tie Sheng was caught off guard.

The big name is definitely going to be the main force.

If Yang Yang asked, then Tie Sheng would have to let him go anyway, but now Yang Yang has taken the initiative to ask for a substitute, which makes Tie Sheng relieved, not only emotional, Yang Yang can break out in Ajax, It's not false.

"Since you are frank, let me tell you bluntly, our coaching staff studied for a night, and because we have limited understanding of you, we really don't know how to arrange it for the time being. We will treat the first game as training. I There will be half time, you can take a look on the sidelines first to get acquainted with the team, and I will let you play in the second half, how about it?"

"Of course there is no problem, I absolutely obey the coaching staff's arrangement." Yang Yang assured immediately.

Tie Sheng was born in a national football team. He has been coaching for many years. He is used to seeing all kinds of people. He can see Yang Yang's sincerity and understand how difficult it is for Yang Yang to maintain such a mentality.

It is easy to say, but difficult to do.

Thinking of this, Tie Sheng suddenly came on a whim and looked at Yang Yang deeply, "Come on, keep working hard, the hope of Chinese football is pinned on your generation, the domestic environment is very complicated, and you can play football in Europe. Just try not to come back."

In the end, Tie Sheng didn't know whether it was because he stayed up late or was emotional, his eyes were red.

When we met for the first time, the conversation was simple and deep, and Yang Yang didn't know how to answer, so he could only keep nodding in agreement.

In fact, he didn't really think about going back to China.

"It's not easy for them either." Wei Zhen sighed as he watched Tie Sheng leave.

"what's wrong?"

Wei Zhen shook his head, he still decided not to let Yang Yang know about some things, "It's nothing, I just heard from the reception staff at the hotel that they arrived at the hotel at one o'clock in the morning last night, and the coaching staff have been studying tonight's events in the coffee shop. From the game until the early morning, the iron guide estimated that he could not sleep for three hours."

After hearing this, Yang Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of respect, but at the same time, he also had another doubt, "Then why didn't you come to France earlier?"

"Many players want to play in the league." Wei Zhen explained with a wry smile, "The main reason is that our logistics is not professional enough."

Yang Yang can't stop nodding. In Ajax, basically, players only need to concentrate on playing football, and other things will be handled by special people. For example, Yang Yang transferred from Almere to Amsterdam. Miss Sy La Jensen is very professional, and she does everything properly without any explanation from Yang Yang.

Maybe this is the difference.

And this also makes Yang Yang feel a little worried about tonight's game. After all, the players have come from a long distance, can the state be guaranteed? How much combat effectiveness the team can play is indeed a big problem.

It's no wonder that Tie Sheng and the coaching staff were having headaches all night last night.

"I've listened to a lot of seniors in sports channels, and many seniors in the football world have said something, I'll give it to you today." Wei Zhen said suddenly and solemnly.

"what?"

"Three hundred and sixty lines, only the sports line can raise the national flag and play the national anthem before the game."

Yang Yang's heart was touched for a while, wasn't he?

In addition to sports, what other line can raise the national flag and play the national anthem before the game?
