When the loud "Volunteer March" sounded on the court, Yang Yang stood in front of the bench with his right hand on his chest and sang the national anthem with his teammates, coaches and players on the field.
At this moment, Yang Yang was full of excitement.
This is the first time he is wearing a bright red jersey with a national flag, and a sense of pride emerges.
He is very clear that wearing this jersey, he no longer only fights for himself, nor for the Football Association for the national team. He represents 1.4 billion Chinese people going out of the country and playing for the battle.
He also secretly vowed in his heart that the game can be lost and defeated, but never lose the face of the Chinese.
In the stands behind him, hundreds of Chinese students who went to France and Europe to study spontaneously came to the scene. They all played the flag of the Chinese team, and many people are still shouting Yang Yang.
But tonight, Yang Yang will sit on the bench and watch the first half of the game.
To this end, Yang Yang specially interviewed by the national television station before the game, saying that he took the initiative and explained the reason.
The national anthem of China sings, and the national anthem of Colombia sounds.
Yang Yang noticed that all of their players were equally aloof, which also confirmed a sentence.
Football is a war without smoke.

…………
Since the Toulon Cup is a youth team's game, according to tradition, the game has only 80 minutes and 40 minutes in the first and second half. Yang Yang sat on the bench to watch the game in the first half. When to play in the second half depends on the situation.
The formation of the Chinese team is four-two-two. This type of formation is characterized by balance. Although there are also sideways, it is very different from the four-three-three formation of Yang Yang during the Ajax period.
The right-winger, as the name suggests, is more forward, more like a forward, and the right-winger is more rearward. He has to take on some defensive tasks, especially when the team changes from attack to defense, the right-winger should actively defend.
What surprised Yang Yang was that although the players of the National Youth Team came to Toulon after a long journey, they played very hard in the game. They dared to fight on the court and actively used speed to open the situation.
Colombia is also reluctant to show weakness, both teams are playing very aggressively, and the offensive and defensive conversion speed is very fast.
This is not difficult to understand, after all, it is a youth team, and the overall technical and tactical content is still much weaker than that of the adult team.
The Chinese team played more integrated, the defense was better, Colombia was aggressive, but mainly concentrated on the middle, lacking effective side attack, the play is relatively simple, the Chinese team quickly stabilized its position, allowing the opponent a few After trying to beat him, he failed.
The National Youth players have a lot of running and snatching in the midfield, which makes Colombia very uncomfortable and frequently makes mistakes. The most fatal one occurred in the 22nd minute. Chinese team's 11th striker Zhu Ting After stealing the ball, three consecutive defensive players volleyed at the front of the penalty area, but were saved by the other goalkeeper.
However, nine minutes later, the Chinese defender made a mistake and failed to clear the opponent's long pass. The opponent's No. 14 player seized the opportunity. Unfortunately, he didn't stop the ball and wasted a chance of empty goal.
The first half ended with zero to zero.
During the halftime break, the head coach Tie Sheng affirmed the team's performance in the first half, but at the same time encouraged the team to continue to inspire and believe that although Colombia's personal strength is above the Chinese team, the overall is not strong. The Chinese team still has a chance.
Therefore, taking advantage of the halftime break, Tie Sheng replaced the main offensive player Chen Tao. This player is also good at playing the right wing and playing the right wing on the court. The speed and technique of the foot are very good. The coaching team hopes that he can open on the right wing Defensive gap.
But after the start of the second half, Colombia also adjusted its tactics and began to actively invest in the midfield to grab, catching the Chinese team's passing and receiving errors. For a time, the Chinese team's passing and receiving errors continued, and Colombia frequently launched counterattacks.
Especially in the 50th minute, Colombia passed the ball to the frontcourt after the goal was intercepted. Three offensive players continuously cooperated to enter the penalty area. The Chinese team's back line appeared to be missing. The Colombian No. 8 player kicked the ball without being marked. door.
Fortunately, the goalkeeper Guan Zhen played well, single-handedly blocked the ball, resolved a crisis.
This time the iron sound finally could not sit still.
…………
…………
"Come on!"
"Thank you!"
Yang Yang shook hands with his teammates on the sidelines and patted each other's shoulders, replacing the team's striker Wancheng.
This is the arrangement made by coach Tie Sheng to Yang Yang. After playing, he can play the role of a free man in the frontcourt and let him play, and the rest of the team will try their best to cooperate with him.
Yang Yang quickly ran into the field, passing his teammates along the way, he could feel the queries and doubts in the opponent's eyes.
They didn't know each other and were not familiar with each other, but they met at the pre-match meeting in the afternoon and introduced each other.
They are too new to Yang Yang.
Isn't Yang Yang like this to them?
Previously in Ajax, the tactical system of the youth team and the first team was very close, he could achieve seamless convergence, but he only has a general understanding of the current playing style of the national youth team, and it is still very rusty.
Colombia obviously also knows Yang Yang. He is very afraid of this Chinese player who just scored the lore in the Champions League final a few days ago. After Yang Yang played, they began to consciously strengthen their defense against Yang Yang.
But in the end it is the youth team. In Yang Yang's view, the opponent's defense is very large, and it is easy to run out of it.
The first touch of the ball came from the midfielder's pass. When Yang Yang retreated and brought out the defensive player, when he was planning to turn around and fast forward, the teammate passed the ball directly to his foot, which caused him The subsequent series of actions were stuck.
Stopping the ball, Yang Yang was held up by the defensive player behind him and had to return.
The second pass was slightly better. The oblique pass from Chen Tao ’s right lane was just not enough. Yang Yang was forced to decelerate and stop and then suddenly accelerated, but the effect has been greatly reduced, but Yang Yang still protects the front of the penalty area. The ball was passed to Chen Tao in the right pass, but he failed to make a threat.
The following cooperation was still not smooth, and there were several mistakes. Not to mention being counterattacked by Colombia, even Yang Yang himself played very tired. He did not think it was a teammate's ability problem, but they all compared Lack of running response.
Nor does it mean that the players do not run, on the contrary, everyone runs very actively, but does not run around the teammates who take the ball, forming an effective point of contact.
Without enough contact points, the ball-bearer has fewer choices for the ball, and there are naturally more mistakes.
In addition to this, teammates rarely pass the receiver's next move when they pass the ball. They simply want to pass the ball to their teammates and do not consider anything else.
Yang Yang himself used to be like this, so he could understand the mood of his teammates at this moment.
They are not trying hard, not wanting to pass the ball, but they do not know how to do it.
Thinking of this, Yang Yang had a thought in his mind. Since Colombia valued him so much, he was solely responsible for attracting defensive attention and creating opportunities for his teammates to open the defensive line.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, use the Colombian players to practice their own stop.
…………
…………
After changing his mind, Yang Yang still runs very actively, and every time he runs to the opponent's empty place to catch the ball, attracting defensive attention and then passing the ball to the teammates in the weak defense area.
Yang Yang's transformation immediately changed the situation of the Chinese team on the court.
The so-called human name, the shadow of the tree.
The domestic media reports on Yang Yang ’s performance in Ajax are very detailed. The players of the National Youth Team admire this teammate who is two years younger than himself, which makes them all inclined to pass the ball to Yang Yang.
Therefore, after Yang Yang changed his role, he immediately activated the team's attack in the midfield.
When the game reached the 60th minute, Yang Yang suddenly ran to the empty place on the right to catch the ball.
Chen Tao immediately passed the ball over, Yang Yang stopped the ball to his side and back, turned around and chased the ball.
This sudden move suddenly surprised Colombia's defensive players. There were three defensive players all rushing towards him at the same time, and naturally missed Chen Tao on the right.
At this moment, Yang Yang made a direct pass and sent the ball to Chen Tao's diagonally forward.
Originally Chen Tao was still hesitating whether to run over to meet Yang Yang, but he didn't expect to see the ball coming out. He was shocked. Where did he have time to think, directly chasing the ball at the fastest speed.
Chen Tao chased the ball gradually, and he gradually felt a sense of optimism. When he caught the ball, he clearly saw that there was no defensive player around him, and there were teammates in the penalty area.
The next thing is logical. Chen Tao crosses the penalty area on the right side of the penalty area. The striker Zhu Ting near the penalty spot quickly catches up and pushes the ball, sending the ball into the goal of Colombia, one to zero!
The audience applauded.
Hundreds of fans who came to cheer for the Chinese team all danced with excitement.
Zhu Ting, the hero of the goal, quickly rushed to Chen Tao and hugged his teammates vigorously, while the other players of the Chinese team also rushed up.
This goal is too important for the Chinese team.
Yang Yang also ran over to congratulate his teammates for the goal, which made Zhu Ting and Chen Tao flattered, especially Chen Tao, who looked at Yang Yang with a little doubt.
…………
…………
After the Chinese team first opened the record, Colombia began to be anxious, investing heavily in the offensive end, but the Chinese team itself is good at defensive counterattack, coupled with Colombia's single offensive characteristics, the Chinese team is not difficult to defend.
The defense is solid, and the counterattack is starting to work.
In the 68th minute, the captain's right-back Liu Yu stepped forward to assist, and Yang Yang raised his hand for the ball. After stopping the ball, he took two steps laterally. Suddenly his left foot passed diagonally to the left. , Where polite, just hit your feet.
The ball once again scored the goal of Colombia, two to zero.
If it is said that the first goal just now was not obvious, then Yang Jun ’s role was clearly reflected in Hao Junmin ’s goal, especially his passing vision, so as to ensure that the team can suddenly take the ball from Transferred from the right to the left and caught the opponent by surprise.
Only five minutes later, after Yang Yang received the ball on the right side of the front of the penalty area, he got rid of the defensive player and scored the ball to the right side of the penalty area. Chen Tao cooperated with the assisted captain right back Liu Yu. Mao Jianqing succeeded in pushing the empty goal.
Three to zero!
