Haha…haha…

The locker room was so quiet that only the players' heavy breathing sounds were left.

Although they only played for forty minutes in the first half, every player seemed to have just been fished out of a bucket.

Sweden puts too much pressure on Chinese players. Not only do they have an advantage in their bodies, but they even do better than the Chinese team in passing and receiving, and the defense is organized quite closely.

At least, this is true in the eyes of young national youth players.

On the other hand, the Chinese team made too many passes and receiving mistakes, giving the opponent a chance again and again. The defense that was originally most confident was also poorly organized, and they gave the opponent a set piece in the frontcourt again and again. As a result, the Swedish players who were over 1.9 meters tall stood in the penalty area, and the pressure like a mountain pressing made Chinese players unable to bear it.

Even Feng Xiaoting, who claims to be an air dominant in the team, has a head shorter in front of Swedish players. How can he defend it?

The strength of both the enemy and us may be misjudged by the fans on the sidelines and the audience in front of the TV, but the players on the field know their own minds, and they all wrote their thoughts on their faces.

Yang Yang sat in his position, buried his head between his legs, watching sweat fall on the floor drop by drop, slowly gathering into a water stain, and he gradually calmed down.

When he first returned to the locker room, he really wanted to scold his teammates fiercely. He had already made it before the game, and the tactics formulated by the coaching team were to seek stability first and then slowly plan to attack. But why did he become so impatient on the court?

The Swedish team is indeed intending to lure the Chinese team to attack, but how could the players be fooled so easily?

If a player performs the opposite tactics but is scored by the opponent, it is not as good as others. It is understandable, but now he takes the initiative to put his face up and beat the opponent. Can it be the same?

But his rationality still calmed him down, so he sat back in his seat and slowly calmed down his mood.

He knew that the most important thing now is not to hold accountable or to hold anyone accountable.

It's like sitting on a boat. Someone accidentally drilled through the bottom of the boat, and the sea water kept pouring in. The first thing to do at this time is to block the hole first, otherwise the ship would sink.

As for whom I have drilled through this ship, it is to save the ship and save his life.

"Do you have anything to say?" the coach Tiexeng asked with a calm face.

He really couldn't come up with a better way if the game was played like this.

As soon as Tiesheng finished speaking, he saw goalkeeper Guan Zhen standing up and lowered his head with shame, "I'm sorry, it was my mistake that implicated the team. I was a little confused at that time, I..."

In the end, Guan Zhen couldn't continue talking.

Anyone could see it in his face. He was so regretful that he wanted to strangle himself to death, but it was meaningless.

"I also have a responsibility to not keep an eye on the other party's No. 11 in time." Feng Xiaoting also stood up and took the initiative to make frank mistakes.

There was a silence in the locker room, and everyone looked at Guan Zhen and Feng Xiaoting who were still standing.

Yang Yang still lowered his head, but reached out to grab the national flag on his jersey's chest. He swore that he would do his best to defend its dignity. He didn't want to lose the game cowardly.

Even if he knew it, it was enough to return home to work.

"Tiangsen, can I say a few words?" Yang Yang stood up.

Tie Sheng was a little surprised. This was the first time Yang Yang took the initiative to say something in the locker room. He was a little hesitant, afraid that the young Yang Yang would say something inappropriate. But when he looked at Yang Yang's eyes, he still nodded.

"Of course, anyone here has a say."

Everyone in the locker room looked at Yang Yang, wanting to know what he was going to say. Many people were even nervous, afraid that Yang Yang would accuse him of his mistakes.

"Guan Zhen and Feng Xiaoting are indeed responsible for conceding the goal."

Yang Yang's words made the atmosphere in the locker room even more tense.

"But if it weren't for Guanzhen, our team would not have been today. Whether he faced Colombia, France, or Türkiye, he performed very well, and kept the goal safe again and again."

"And Feng Xiaoting, he has a thigh injury. After coming to France, he was not adapted to the local conditions and has never been in the best condition. But in order to be able to defend the center forward of the Swedish team who is one head taller than him, he still chose to do it. Except for not following this time, did he perform poorly?"

Yang Yang's rebellious question caused a dead silence in the locker room.

"If you are a person, you will make mistakes. They are goalkeepers and central defenders. They performed 10 in 79 minutes in the game, but as long as they fail in one minute, everyone will erase their contributions for the previous 79 minutes."

"In the past, they were behind all of us, silently wiping our ass for our mistakes. Now, they made mistakes. Do we have no responsibility or responsibility?"

"When an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. If the team loses the ball, it is our responsibility."

The locker room was still silent, but many people standing Guan Zhen and Feng Xiaoting were even moved by Yang Yang's words.

Yang Yang walked to Guanzhen and Feng Xiao stood up and asked them to sit back to their seats.

He is the top player in the team. He has such strength in the locker room, so some things should be said by him.

Otherwise, what will this core player do if he is the top player?

"I still clearly remember that AC Milan defeated La Coruña four-one at home in the Champions League knockout stage and lost to Super Laco 0-4 away. At that time, the general manager of the Ross and Blacks Galliani said in an interview with the media, saying that this loss is enough for us to eat for three years."

Many people present may have seen this report, but perhaps not, but they can't help but show a deep look of thought, including iron voice.

"Winning is certainly gratifying, but losing is also a reward. The key is to see if we can learn from the conceding goals. Now, we still have the second half. If we only hold the responsibility accountable and do not carefully study the gains and losses of the first half, we will still lose in the second half."

What Yang Yang said is common sense in European football, but it has aroused the players' thoughts and self-question.

The first half was zero to one, which was really just caused by the mistakes of Guan Zhen and Feng Xiaoting?

Yang Yang was closely guarded by the opponent in the whole first half. Has anyone taken the initiative to share some defensive pressure for him?

Could it be that Yang Yang really has to perform well if he has to carry two or three defensive players alone?

"Finally, I sincerely hope that everyone will think about it carefully, what did we rely on to get to where we are today?"

After Yang Yang finished speaking, he returned to his seat and sat down.

The locker room was still dead silent, but everyone could see that they were thinking.

How did the National Youth Team get to where it is today?

Is it based on fancy moves? Gorgeous offense? Or excellent personal abilities?

No, the skills of the national youth team players are significantly different from their opponents, and offense is not the strongest weapon of the national youth team at all. In addition to Yang Yang, how many players can compete with French and Swedish players?

It's defense!

Strong defense!

But in the first half, the team lost its most powerful weapon.

Tiexong finally made up his mind and walked among the players. "Yang Yang is right. We must be clear about why we can reach this day. Our health is not as good as humans, our skills are not as good as humans, and our tactics are not as good as humans. So what do we rely on?"

"By the whole!By the concerted efforts and tenacious struggle of each of us!"

The head coach's resounding words opened a door for everyone.

"Zero-to-one is not the end of the world. The two tall central defenders of Sweden have strong front-facing defense capabilities, a large defense area, and their midfield also has strong defensive capabilities, so we must try to create opportunities from both wings and ribs."

"Yang Yang, are you sure you play on the right side in the second half?" Tie Sheng asked with concern.

Yang Yang raised his head, looked at the head coach, looked at his teammates around him, and nodded heavily, "I have no problem."

…………

…………

Unlike the tense atmosphere on the Chinese team, the atmosphere in the Swedish team's locker room seemed more relaxed.

Who made them lead the Chinese team with one goal?

With Sweden's performance in the past few games, as long as he leads, it will be difficult for his opponents to gain advantage from them.

The best example is Portugal's favorite.

"I didn't expect that the Chinese team was so weak, only Yang Yang was a little more difficult."

"Even if he is difficult to deal with, so what? The result is that he has no performance in the whole first half?"

"The idiots in the Chinese team were completely stunned by us. As long as we restrict Yang Yang, this team will be without any threat."

...

In the locker room, everything is about the first half, especially Yang Yang.

This is not surprising at all.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.

After scoring the final of the Champions League, Yang Yang became famous, but he was only seventeen years old, which naturally attracted the competitive spirit of his peers and even these young players who were two or three years older than him.

Everyone knows that as long as Yang Yang is frozen tonight, all newspapers will report this matter tomorrow.

Lindgren knows Yang Yang best. He also gave a lot of advice to the team before the game and provided a lot of strategies and experience in defending Yang Yang. After all, although they were teammates from Ajax's second team, he is now playing for the national team.

"You shouldn't be careless. Yang Yang is a man who is very tenacious and resilient. He is not so easy to admit defeat. Moreover, he is in good health. He will definitely work hard to perform in the second half. We must not relax our defense against him."

Swedish players are not fools either. Many of them have already played in domestic leagues. Naturally, they also know that Yang Yangneng is not lucky today. When Lindgren reminded him, he naturally did not dare to be careless.

"Yang Yang's stop is bad, and he is a right-footed player, but his left foot is also excellent. You must pay attention to this. You must continue to press against him step by step in the second half. You must never let him dribble the ball and attack head-on. If necessary, you will be fouled."

With the arrangements of the head coach, all the Swedish players in the locker room became more motivated.

As long as Yang Yang continues to freeze and keep the score until the end of the game, Sweden will reach the final.
Chapter completed!
