The World Youth Training Ground in Tilburg, the Netherlands.
After the group stage with three straight wins, the Chinese team quickly moved from Utrecht to Tilburg.
Upon arriving in Tilburg, Krautchen immediately led the team to the training ground.
The opponents in the knock-out round of the 16th round came out, Klauchen's motherland, Germany.
Before the National Youth team played a warm-up match with the German team, tied two to two, no one can take advantage.
But that time, the National Youth Team did not have Yang Yang.
The three-game winning streak did not completely lose the national youth team. In the subsequent group stage summary, when Yang Yang spoke as a player representative, he first pointed out the team ’s defensive problems. The biggest obstacle.
Krautchen also said that he already has a set of plans to improve his defense.
After arriving in Tilburg, Krauchen took a closed training session and declined the interference of outside media reporters.
For defensive training, Krautchen focuses on allowing players to practice the overall operation and continuity of the defensive system. He emphasized the most that he should not blindly rob, but to cooperate as a whole and maintain a meticulous integrity.
"Individual defense will not only have no effect, but will continue to waste our physical fitness. Only overall defense can protect our goal!"
Since many things emphasized by Klauchen are very similar to those of Ajax, Yang Yang also took the initiative to act as a translator and narrator, handing in his hand to convey the intent of Klauchen to the players, especially by Klauchen as Feng Xiaoting, the defense leader.
In order to help Feng Xiaoting better understand Krautchen ’s intentions and at the same time command the team ’s defense, Yang Yang once again used his previous trick to help Zheng Zhi, combined with the video recording and analysis report in the laptop, and explained to Feng Xiaoting How to be a good core defender and how to ensure the ball in the midfield and backcourt.
In addition to the offensive of the German team, the positioning ball will also be a magic weapon for the German team to win, because their height occupies an overwhelming advantage, which is also the most obvious advantage of the German team.
"The German team is very holistic and technically relatively general, but the tactical awareness is very mature. The body and impact are the most powerful team in this World Youth Championship. Therefore, the positioning ball club is their most threatening. Offense. "
In response to this point, Krautchen made a targeted arrangement for positioning ball defense.
And the end of training is how the Chinese team should defeat the enemy.
Klauchen's strategy is to control the midfield and give full play to Yang Yang's advantage on the offensive end.
Gao Lin's performance in the previous three group matches has been recognized by everyone in the team, including Yang Yang. Although he does not seem to score many goals, as a high center, his tactical role is quite obvious.
Chen Tao's performance on the right is also very good, and this game Klauschen is obviously not willing to let Yang Yang face the German defender directly, but hopes that he can use more ways to attack in the future. .
As for the most important midfield layout, Krautchen decided to eliminate the more technical midfield with more control.
It is not difficult to see from the drill before the game that the midfield combination of Hao Junmin, Cui Peng and Zhou Haibin is the most affirmed by Krautchen, and it is also the most controllable midfield combination that the National Youth Team can discharge so far.
Among them, Cui Peng from Shandong also performed quite well in this World Youth Championship.
In addition to the tactical level, Krautchen also deducted quite a few technical details. For example, he personally went to the field to teach the players how to deal with the German players' looting. What he emphasized most was that he turned suddenly after receiving the ball.
"German players have a height advantage, but their turn is very slow, and we have an advantage in this area. As long as we turn around, we can immediately form a local advantage."
These seemingly simple and basic things, in fact, have brought great gains to the National Youth players.

Due to the limited training ground, the Chinese team and the German team share a training ground, and the two parties communicate and coordinate time with each other.
As a result, the German team was 20 minutes earlier than the agreed time.
There are three venues in the same training ground, but after the German team came to the training ground in advance, they did not go directly to other grounds for training, but stood on the sidelines and spied on the Chinese team's training with interest.
Among them, the German players are most curious than the Chinese team's top star Yang Yang.
But they did not find Yang Yang in the main group, but saw him appear in the bench group.
This made the German team feel puzzled.
When playing in Panama, Yang Yang did not go on, nor did he give accurate information to the outside world, and now he is arranged in the bench, what does it mean?
"They deliberately disrupted the order, just don't want us to see their lineup." German coach Skipber laughed, this is just a small trick used before the game.
Everyone knows that Yang Yang can't miss it. He is the core fighting force of the Chinese team.
Not only is the lineup messy, but even the content of the training is not uncommon. It seems that they are some sparse and ordinary group confrontation. At most, they can only see the strength of the Chinese players.
On the contrary, when Yang Yang quickly made a forcible breakthrough with the ball, the pendulum passed the goalkeeper, and when the empty goal was pushed, he won warm applause on and off the court, and even German players on the sidelines applauded.
"Hey, good job, Yang!"
"The pendulum is amazing, so wonderful!"
But the uproar of German players quickly caught the attention of FIFA officials and immediately walked over to remind them not to hinder the training of the Chinese team, so this group of German players indifferently went to the training ground next door.
But coach Skipby's expression is a solemn, solemnly admonish his players.
"In the game, Yang Yang must be frozen in any case, don't give him any chance, he will be the deadliest sharp knife of the Chinese team, give me a complete blockade of him!"
Rene Adler, the German team captain who played for Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, turned around and frowned, looking at Yang Yang in the distance, Shen Sheng replied: "Relax, I won't give him any chance ! "

…………
The William II Stadium in Tilburg.
World Cup 16 elimination round, China against Germany.
To everyone's surprise, the seemingly powerful German team did not take the initiative to attack as many people outside expected, but actively and steadily tightened the defense after the opening.
The fierce press, steady overall defense, combined with obvious advantages in physical quality, these have made the German team into a hard fight from the beginning of the game, especially the offensive players in the frontcourt.
"Early before the game, the German coach Skip said that the Chinese team's attacking power in the group stage is worthy of vigilance, and the German team did not perform on the offensive end in the group stage, but no one thought He will use defensive counterattack tactics against the Chinese team, which is indeed quite unexpected. "
"For Yang Yang's defense, the German team is clearly doing enough preparation."
"From the perspective of the three group matches, the defense has always been the advantage of the German team. They only lost one ball in three rounds, that is, they lost to the Argentina team. In contrast, the Chinese team can win three consecutive games from the group stage. , By virtue of offensive. "
"So, this game may surprise fans."
"The seemingly powerful German team actually faced the weak Chinese team and played a defensive counterattack."
"But we also can't carelessly, because Germany who plays defensive counterattack is the most terrible German team!"
...
The commentary from the national television station broadcast live in China did not reach the William II stadium.
But there is no need for outside reminders, the National Youth Team has a very sober understanding of this.
The German team took a four-two-two approach, but actively contracted the three lines, the intention is also very clear, that is to freeze Yang Yang.
For this, Yang Yang also has his own sober understanding.
In this game, Klauschen played a four, three, three formation, Yang Yang was placed on the left, Gao Lin played the center, and Chen Tao played the right. The midfield is a combination of Hao Junmin, Cui Peng and Zhou Haibin.
But in fact, Yang Yang and Chen Tao both retreated a lot, the purpose is to ensure the initiative of the midfield.
From the beginning of the game, the Chinese team has successfully controlled the ball, and has an advantage in the possession rate.
The German team mainly defended in the midline area and did not retreat very backward, but their forcing was very active, and the one-on-one defensive advantage was very obvious, which made it difficult for the Chinese team to organize effective cooperation.
The smooth ground penetration of the first three rounds of the group is also difficult to reproduce in the German team, and the offense is somewhat trapped.
In contrast to the German team, there is no advantage in ball control, but the physical confrontation is very dominant. Once they are close, the ball is easy to be intercepted. As soon as the ball is intercepted, immediately hit back and counterattack, giving full play to the speed advantage of the forward players.
In the opening stage, both sides played a bit of confusion. First of all, Yang Yang was very active on the left side, but the German team soon invested heavily in its own right. As soon as Yang Yang got the ball, he was immediately closely guarded by the German team.
For this situation, Yang Yang has also been psychologically prepared.
Seeing that it was difficult to play the ball in the midfield, he took the initiative to retreat and responded to his teammates in the midfield.
In the nineteenth minute, Yang Yang withdrew the ball from the midfield and suddenly turned around to get rid of it. He pushed the ball along the left and shifted the entire German defensive attention to his own side. To the right.
Chen Tao was ready to serve, and after the chest stopped the ball, he took the ball and crossed the ball along the right.
Gao Lin, who was ambushing in the penalty area, grabbed the position in the middle and headed the goal and hit a far corner, but the German goalkeeper Rene Adler flew the ball and gave it to the Chinese team for a corner kick.
But this time a wonderful flying save, but Adler won a lot of applause.
The young German goalkeeper, however, didn't take it seriously, and directed his teammates to start corner kick defense, which looked quite general.
When Adler looked at Yang Yang again, the tall German goalkeeper couldn't help but wonder.
Did n’t say Yang Yang was a scorer?
How did the opening 20 minutes, without even a shot, look more like a midfielder?
Could this be Klauchen's arrangement?
Well, he has several good pass passes, especially the big foot transfer just now, and he has a lot of ideas.
Can he have only this ability?
Adler certainly doesn't think so, because Yang Yang is the winner of the European Golden Boy Award, the best player in the UEFA Cup, the Dutch Golden Boot Award, and at the same time broke the legendary record of Ronaldo at the age of 18 and is famous for the genius of European football.
Is that limited by our defense?
