In the next few days, Yang Yang began to get idle again.

After returning to Amsterdam with the Champions League trophy, the whole city held grand celebrations, especially the celebration banquet in Ajax that night, which attracted many Dutch political and business celebrities to celebrate.

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

Yang Yang returned to his original lifestyle. He got up early every day to practice morning exercises, and then went to DeTok Most to train alone. Except for having a dinner at Van Gaal's house, he basically did not go out.

Wei Zhen was traveling in Amsterdam with great enthusiasm. However, every time he saw Yang Yang training hard, he couldn't help but sigh that Yang Yang was not lucky to have come to this day. Even after scoring the final of the Champions League and helping Ajax win the Champions League, he did not slacken at all, and was still so hard and diligent.

Think about it carefully, if such a person cannot be kicked out, who should be kicked out?

On the morning of May 31, Wei Zhen received a call from the country. The leader of the National Youth Team informed Yang Yang that the team had set off from Beijing to Paris, and then transferred from Paris to Toulon, asking Yang Yang to go directly to Toulon to gather with the team.

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

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

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

"Clauchen?" Yang Yang had heard of this name from the Internet.

In order to better prepare for the Olympics in 2008, the Chinese Football Association plans to organize players of appropriate age to go to Germany for long-term training, with the same model as Jianlibao back then, and Clauchen is the head coach recommended by Germany.

"I heard the news that he is very likely to take over the national youth team and be responsible for the Olympics in 2008." Wei Zhen reminded.

The Olympics and the World Cup are two hurdles that Chinese football can never get rid of.

He entered the World Cup in 2002. Everyone was full of expectations for the German World Cup in 2006. He was confidently prepared to rush out of Asia and into the World Cup again. Alihan assumed such a mission.

As for Clauchen, he is responsible for the mission of the 2008 Olympics.

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 showed, let alone the national youth team, the national team cannot ignore him. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely be the main force of the national Olympic team in 2008.

"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 will be played tomorrow. I even know who the players I match are and what characteristics he has, except for knowing that our opponent is Colombia." Yang Yang said with a wry smile.

This kind of preparation is really not even as good as Ajax team 2.

But Wei Zhen also shrugged, "I don't know, no one knows."

"How to play the game?"

"Just play when you go on the court, anyway, you'll be wherever you play."

Yang Yang smiled bitterly. This was really not his style.

He has always had high demands on himself, either not doing it, or he must work hard to do his best.

"The Toulon Cup has produced many stars, such as Papan and Henry. Last year's Toulon Cup was Portugal. The Cristiano Ronaldo who played for Manchester United this season was in Portugal at that time. He performed very well and was watched by scouts from many teams. It was because of the foundation for the Toulon Cup that Ferguson chose him in the warm-up match."

Yang Yang knew that this player inherited Beckham's No. 7 jersey at Manchester United. He had a fancy style of playing and liked to dribble the ball and was very fast. However, both in the Premier League and Manchester United were mixed, because many people thought he was too sticky to the ball.

"Although Portugal finally won the championship, the best player in the game was Argentina's main midfielder Javier Mascherano, who only won third place."

"Oh, I know he is now playing for the River Plate team, debuting at the Solari family's football school, and is a star of hope that the whole world is very optimistic about."

"That's right." Wei Zhen secretly praised in his heart. It turns out that he is in Europe where professional football is developed. He is very informative and 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 participating in the competition?" Yang Yang asked with concern.

"Isn't it you?" Wei Zhen replied with a laugh.

Yang Yang smiled awkwardly, "I mean it."

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

Yang Yang was speechless, but he really had no impression. He knew that after the Champions League final, the three major newspapers in the Netherlands placed him on the front page and many newspapers reported him for several days, that's all.

"At the age of seventeen, the Champions League final, the winning goal, the people who care about football around the world are paying attention to you, and all media reporters are watching you. I don't know much about it abroad, but at home, my colleagues told me that your current fame is not inferior to Yao Giant at all, so I suggest that you should find a trustworthy person to be responsible for your business affairs in China."

"What's the meaning?"

"A lot of domestic companies and brands will come to you soon. The sponsorship fee you give is probably not lower than that of Yao Giant. You can't do everything yourself, right? So, if you want to play football with peace of mind, it's better to find a reliable person."

Yang Yang was so upset that he actually had this trouble?

"Let's talk about the Toulon Cup quickly." Yang Yang was as big as a fight, so he quickly changed the topic.

He found that he was indeed not good at doing business.

"The most powerful team in this Toulon Cup is the host France. They did not participate last year, but this year they are prepared. The overall strength of this French team cannot be underestimated. There are Liverpool's twin stars Pongra and Le Tale, Serie A Bologna's core midfielder Mezini, midfielders Flamini and Mavuba, and the defense also include stars such as Bertod, Columbus, and Ziani who have already played well in Ligue 1. The overall strength is very outstanding."

Some of the players mentioned by Wei Zhen are more familiar to Yang Yang, such as Pangler and Le Tale. These two players are cousins ​​and are highly valued by Hollier in Liverpool, and everyone is very optimistic about them.

The other players are relatively unfamiliar, but those who can play in teams such as Bologna, Lyon will definitely not be a fuel-efficient one. And so many stars gather together, the strength of this French team can be seen.

"If I remember correctly, we should have met France in the second game, right?"

"That's right, Colombia in the first game, France in the second game, and Türkiye in the third game, if he can qualify in the group, his next opponent will be stronger." Wei Zhen also said with a serious face.

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

"You scored the final of the Champions League, which is a good thing for you. Being able to participate in a high-level event like the Champions League is a rare experience. I believe that after playing the Champions League and playing the Toulon Cup, you will be more confident. This is an advantage."

Wei Zhen said this and changed the subject, "But the disadvantage is that other teams will definitely pay attention to you and will do everything possible to guard you. Whether you can perform well at that time depends on yourself."

Yang Yang nodded slightly. He was not afraid of being closely guarded. He could take this opportunity to practice stopping the ball.

"Oh, by the way, and you are used to cooperating with Ajax players in the Netherlands, but in the national youth team, it is best to be mentally prepared enough. Your teammates will definitely not be as good as they were in the Netherlands."

Ajax is a new Champions League champion, and he cooperates with Yang Yang with European stars like Ibrahimovic and Van der Fate. Even Sneijder is also a new generation of young internationals in the Netherlands. He is definitely not comparable to those of the national youth team. Therefore, Wei Zhen hopes that Yang Yang will be mentally prepared.

…………

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

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

I finally arrived at the airport where I was transiting. It was already nightfall, but the deadly plane was late. At this time, everyone was hungry and tired, so I could only buy something at the airport to fill my hunger. As a result, I only brought US dollars and were forced to accept the double slaughter of the high prices and exchange rates at the airport. I ate nearly three hundred dollars in a few sandwiches and soda.

It was only at 10 o'clock in the evening that 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, I immediately sent him to the hotel. It was already early in the morning.

From 7 a.m. Beijing time to early morning in Toulon, it took twenty-four hours to toss and go to Toulon, everyone was tired and exhausted.

When the team arrived at the hotel, the team leader suddenly remembered Yang Yang and immediately asked the hotel receptionist if any Chinese team players arrived at the hotel in advance?

"You should be asking Yang Yang?" the receptionist asked with a smile.

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

"Of course, the goals in the Champions League final were so wonderful, how could he not recognize him? He arrived at the hotel at noon and went to the nearby stadium to train in the afternoon. He should be resting now."

The people in the National Youth Team were both envious and jealous. On the one hand, they envy Yang Yang's fame that even the hotel receptionist in Toulon knew him, and on the other hand, they were jealous of his good luck.

They are all from the National Youth Team. He has eaten and drunk enough and is sleeping, but they have worked hard all the way. Why is the difference so big?
