This once again aroused the excitement of domestic fans. Countless media and fans have been high for the National Youth Team. Sing praises.
State TV stations and party journals and party newspapers also focused on reporting this great football event, believing that the National Youth Team equaled the best record of the World Youth Championship 20 years ago and entered the quarter-finals of the World Youth Championship again.
As the team's top scorer, Yang Yang has also been hailed by domestic media and fans.
Five goals made him tied for the top scorer with Spain's Llorente and Ukraine's Aliyev, who were eliminated in vain.
After Yang Yang was Spain's David Silva and Italy's Pellet, both of whom scored four goals.
What makes Chinese fans even more exciting is that the Chinese team is the only team in Asia to reach the quarter-finals.
In contrast, South Korea was stuck in the group stage, Japan lost 0-1 to Morocco in the knockout stage, Syria lost 0-1 to Brazil, and neither Asian team made it to the quarter-finals.
However, the Chinese team defeated Germany 2-0 with one pass and one shot from Yang Yang.
When focusing on analyzing this game, everyone was deeply impressed by the defense of the National Youth Team.
In an interview with state TV after the game, the head coach of the National Youth Team, Klau Chen, said that he focused on practicing defensive tactics before the game, and the players performed well in the game.
Clausen spoke highly of Yang Yang's performance, believing that the team's top star played a key role.
"I have always believed that Yang Yang will greatly improve the strength of the entire team. He is an incredible player, with strong tactical execution and super personal ability, which makes him quite effective in the game. He's a threat, and he's versatile enough to play in multiple positions, in different roles."
In addition to Yang Yang, Clausen also highlighted Gao Lin, believing that the high center is an important part of the team's outstanding performance.
Running at the expense of physical strength, aggressive pressing and pressing in the frontcourt, solid basic skills, excellent and stable ability to hold the ball, coupled with excellent physical fitness, even when facing German defensive players are not inferior, these make Gao Lin. Won Krautchen's approval.
Not only the Chinese head coach, Yang Yang is regarded as the well-deserved number one star of the World Youth Championship in the official selection of FIFA. The eight-year-old genius is the most concerned star in this cup.
As for Gaolin, FIFA also gave a very high evaluation, believing that he is one of the three most tactical centers in this World Youth Championship so far, and the other two are Spain's high center Llorente. , and Italy's high center Pellet.
Another international player of the Chinese team who has been recognized by FIFA is Feng Xiaoting. Whether it is the long-distance rushing with the ball in the group stage, or the steady defense in the face of the German team, and the general demeanor when commanding the back line, Feng Xiaoting has become a He has become the most eye-catching central defender in this World Youth Championship and has attracted the attention of many European teams.
Hao Junmin, Zhou Haibin, Chen Tao and Cui Peng and other National Youth Team players were also praised and affirmed.
Everyone believes that it is the excellent performance of these players, coupled with the integration of Klauschen's training, that enables the National Youth Team to play wonderful offensive football in this World Youth Championship.
The outstanding performance also made the players of the National Youth Team begin to receive more and more attention from the media and scouts.
…………
…………
The day after the game in Germany, when the National Youth Team came to the training ground again for recovery training, they suddenly found that there were many media reporters and fans gathered outside.
That battle surprised the players of the National Youth Team.
Even the last time Yang Yang returned to the team to train for the first time, there was not so much.
There is no doubt that Yang Yang is still the most popular player, which can be seen from the enthusiasm of the on-site media reporters and fans after his appearance, but other players were also warmly welcomed.
In the past training, Chinese media and Chinese fans watched the training of the National Youth Team, but today it is obviously different. At least more than half of them are foreign media and foreign fans. This is something that the players of the National Youth Team cannot imagine. of.
When will these foreign media and fans pay so much attention to Chinese football?
"Many of the fans are scouts." Yang Yang reminded his teammates softly.
This suddenly made the players of the National Youth Team a little nervous.
Scouts for European clubs?
After the National Youth Team defeated Germany, the leader of the Football Association, who was supervising the team, personally promised that the Football Association would do its best to support the National Youth Team players to study abroad, and even willing to help the players to coordinate and communicate with the club.
Obviously, they also clearly see the role of overseas players.
Yang Yang thinks this is a good thing.
To put it bluntly, no matter what the purpose of the Football Association is, whether it is promotion and making a fortune, whether it really wants to improve the level of Chinese football, as long as it is willing to do something that is conducive to the development of Chinese football, it will be good.
This is also the most human.
If, as some unscrupulous media reporters said, they have to ask them how to love football and do their best to contribute to the development of Chinese football, is it necessary?
Why do we have to make such high moral demands on others?
So is the Football Association, so is the players, so is the manager.
And many times, the Chinese media still ignore the fact that Chinese football is very poor.
Japan has been vigorously developing football since the 1990s. At that time, Japan's economic level needs to be said, and it is very rich.
On the contrary, China's economy has indeed developed rapidly in recent years, but it is not rich. At least Chinese football is not rich, and Chinese clubs are not rich, which makes many things impossible.
Youth training needs money, league management needs money, club management needs money, plus some special reasons that can’t be said…
Yang Yang was most impressed by the Toulon Cup last year. There were so many people in the team, but they only brought so much money; and when they played Kuwait in the World Preliminaries, there was no direct flight from China to the Middle East, so they had to go around Amsterdam and then back to the Middle East. , To put it bluntly, there is no wallet machine.
A poor word, coupled with the lack of popularity of football in China itself, the end result is what it is now.
And Yang Yang is now beginning to feel that with the strengthening of national strength and economic development in recent years, both the government and all sectors of society are paying more attention to football, and after experiencing the humiliation of the World Cup, everyone has begun to reflect. .
As a player, what he can do for Chinese football is actually very little.
The only thing he can do is to do his part as a professional player and do his best to play every game well.
If possible, he hopes to bring hope to Chinese football and fans across the country at this World Youth Championship.
Thinking of this, Yang Yang also took a deep breath, packed up his mood, and applauded his teammates vigorously.
"Okay, okay, everyone is ready to train."
Captain Feng Xiaoting also woke up after listening to it, but he couldn't lose face in front of foreign media and scouts, so he immediately greeted his teammates and started to prepare for training.
Today's training program is mainly restorative training, open to the public for 15 minutes, followed by a closed training session. The main purpose is to continue to practice the team's overall offensive and defensive tactics, and also conduct tactical training for the next opponent.
After crossing the German team, the next opponent of the Chinese team is Spain from the same half!
