316 Who would have thought? [Breaking Heart Monthly Pass]
The Chinese team was unexpectedly upset and defeated Germany 2-0!
When the first day of the World Youth Championship's top 16 knockout match was freshly released, it once again triggered the media around the world. All fans who were following the World Youth Championship were shocked and even a little unbelievable.
China eliminated Germany? And it won 2-0?
Are you sure you didn't reverse it?
When the media and fans confirmed the news, they were shocked.
The United States has always been known as a football desert, and football is not the mainstream in this world's dominant power.
But the situation in China is also not much better.
As the fifth largest economic power in the world in GDP, China's football ranks outside the world's dozens of places.
In 2002, after decades of hard work, he finally squeezed into the World Cup, but he was ranked in the same group as the future World Cup champion Brazil and the third place in the World Cup. He lost all three games, scored no goals, and was shamelessly eliminated.
In the following two years, Chinese football experienced a huge decline and scandals continued.
In the impressions of media and fans around the world, Chinese football is almost synonymous with weakness and incompetence.
But when will Chinese football also achieve such impressive results on a world-class stage?
The group stage won three consecutive games, eliminating the European runner-up Türkiye, defeating Ukraine and Panama, and with a complete victory, it became the first team to qualify in the World Youth Championship, with its offensive firepower second only to Spain.
If the opponent in the group stage is not convincing enough, then the subsequent knockout round of the quarterfinals and defeated Germany by two goals is an ironclad fact, and it is also the most shocking thing for everyone.
That is a traditional world-class team, Germany, known as the German chariot!
In fact, he lost to the Chinese team by zero to two?
Not only were the media and journalists around the world shocked, but when the news came back to China, domestic fans also couldn't believe that years of weakness had made it difficult for them to imagine the team's appearance when they were in a prosperous state.
Defeat Germany?
That was simply a distant dream.
But it actually became a reality!
All Chinese fans were shocked and could not believe it. They confirmed again and again, for fear that it was a rumor made by some bad media in China. Therefore, on the Internet, the most asked questions from netizens turned out to be, "Did China really defeat Germany?"
After repeated confirmation, all talents cheered forever, all talents celebrated with joy, and some even couldn't help but shed tears.
In the quarterfinals, the national youth team actually entered the quarterfinals!
Who could have thought of it? Who would have thought of it? Who dares to think of it?
Domestic fans are completely infuriated!
The enthusiasm for rushing into the World Cup in Germany has not yet faded, and the national youth team defeated Germany in the World Youth Championship and entered the quarterfinals. This once again aroused the excitement of domestic fans, and countless media and fans sang praises to the national youth team.
National TV stations and party magazines and newspapers also focused on reporting this football event, believing that the National Youth Team tied the best record in the World Youth Championship 20 years ago and entered the quarterfinals of the World Youth Championship again.
As the team's number one scorer, Yang Yang has also been popular among domestic media and fans.
Five goals allowed him to tie the scorer list with Spain's Lorent and Ukraine's Aliyev, and Ukraine has been eliminated in vain.
After Yang Yang is Spain's David Silva and Italy's center Pelle, both players scored four goals.
What makes Chinese fans even more excited is that the Chinese team is the only team in Asia to reach the quarterfinals.
In contrast, South Korea stopped in the group stage, Japan lost zero to Morocco in the knockout round, Syria lost zero to Brazil in the first round, and neither Asian team could pass the quarterfinals.
But the Chinese team defeated Germany 2-0 with Yang Yang's one pass and one shot.
When focusing on analyzing this game, everyone was deeply impressed by the National Youth Team's defense.
In an interview with the state TV station after the game, the head coach of the National Youth Team, Clauchen, said that he focused on practicing defensive tactics before the game, and the players also performed very well in the game, and Feng Xiaoting performed very stably on the back line.
Clauchen gave a very high evaluation of Yang Yang's performance, believing that the team's number one 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 abilities, which makes him quite threatening in the game. Moreover, he is very comprehensive and capable of multiple positions and different roles."
In addition to Yang Yang, Clauchen also focused on Gao Lin, believing that this high center forward is an important part of the team's outstanding performance.
Running without hesitation, actively pressing and pressing in the frontcourt, solid basic skills, excellent and stable ball-holding ability, and excellent physical fitness, even when facing German defensive players, all of which made Gao Lin win Crowchen's recognition.
Not only the Chinese head coach, but also in the official FIFA selection, Yang Yang is known as the well-deserved number one star in the World Youth Championship. This 18-year-old genius who just broke Ronaldo's legendary record in the Eredivisie and won the best player in the League Cup, is the most concerned star in this cup.
As for Gao Lin, 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, while the other two are Spanish high center forward Llorente and Italian high center forward Pelle.
Another international player of the Chinese team who is highly recognized by FIFA is Feng Xiaoting. Whether it is the long-distance attacks in the group stage, the steady defense when facing the German team, and the style of a general in command of the defense line, Feng Xiaoting has become the most eye-catching central defender in this World Youth Championship, and has attracted the attention of many European teams.
National Youth Team players such as Hao Junmin, Zhou Haibin, Chen Tao and Cui Peng were also praised and affirmed.
Everyone believes that it is the outstanding performance of these players and the integration of Clauchen's training that allows the National Youth Team to play exciting offensive football in this World Youth Championship.
The outstanding performance has also caused the players of the National Youth Team to receive more and more attention from the media and scouts.
…………
…………
The day after playing Germany, when the national youth team came to the training ground again for restorative training, they suddenly found that there were many media reporters and fans gathered outside.
The incident surprised the players of the National Youth Team.
Even when Yang Yang returned to the team for the first time to train, there were not so many.
There is no doubt that Yang Yang is still the most popular player. This can be seen from the enthusiasm of the media reporters and fans on the scene after he appeared, but other players were also warmly welcomed.
In previous training, the people who watched the training of the national youth team were generally Chinese media and Chinese fans, but today it was obviously different. At least more than half were foreign media and foreign fans, which was something that the players of the national youth team dared not imagine.
When will these foreign media and fans pay so much attention to Chinese football?
"There are many fans who are scouts." Yang Yang whispered to remind his teammates.
This immediately made the players of the National Youth Team a little nervous.
European club scout?
After the National Youth Team defeated Germany, the top 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 in overseas study, and was even willing to come forward to help the players coordinate and communicate with the club.
Obviously, they all clearly see the role of overseas players.
Yang Yang thought this was a good thing.
To put it bluntly, no matter what the Football Association is for, whether it is promoted or made a fortune, or really wants to improve the level of Chinese football, as long as you are willing to do something that is conducive to the development of Chinese football, it is good.
This is also the most human.
Is it necessary if, as some unscrupulous media reporters said, they have to ask them to love football and do their best to contribute to the development of Chinese football?
Why do you have to put such high moral requirements on others?
This is true for the Football Association, the players, and the head coach.
And many times, the Chinese media still ignores some facts, that is, Chinese football is very poor.
Japan began to vigorously develop football in the 1990s, and Japan's economic level at that time was not to mention much, so it was so rich.
On the contrary, China's economy has indeed developed very quickly 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 to do.
Youth training requires money, running a league requires money, running a club requires money, and some special reasons that cannot be explained...
What impressed Yang Yang most was that in the Toulon Cup last year, there were so many people in the team, but they only brought so much money. In addition, when playing in Kuwait in the World Cup, China did not have a direct flight to the Middle East, so it had to go around Amsterdam and return to the Middle East, and tossed back and forth. To put it bluntly, there was no wallet.
The word "poor" and the lack of popularity of football in China, the final result is now.
Yang Yang is now beginning to feel that with the strengthening of national strength and economic development over the years, both the government and all sectors of society have paid more attention to football. In addition, after experiencing the shame of the World Cup, everyone has begun to reflect.
As a player, there are actually very few things he can do for Chinese football.
The only thing he can do is to do his duty as a professional player and do his best to play every game.
If possible, he hopes to bring hope to Chinese football and fans across the country in this World Youth Championship.
Thinking of this, Yang Yang took a deep breath, calmed down, and applauded hard to call on his teammates.
"Okay, OK, everyone is ready for training."
After hearing this, captain Feng Xiaoting woke up and could not be embarrassed in front of foreign media and scouts, so he immediately called his teammates to start training.
Today's training program is mainly restorative training, which is open to the public for 15 minutes, and then a closed training will be conducted. 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.
