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

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

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

Yang Yang returned to his original routine, getting up early every day for morning exercises, and then going to Detokmoste to train alone, except for a dinner at Van Gaal's house, he basically did not go out.

Wei Zhen is traveling in Amsterdam with great interest, but every time he sees Yang Yang training hard, he can't help but sigh that Yang Yang can not come to this day is not a fluke, even after scoring the killer goal in the Champions League final and helping Ajax win the Champions League, he has not slackened at all, and is still so hard and diligent.

Think about it, if this kind of person can't kick out, then who should kick out?

On the morning of May 31, Wei Zhen received a call from China, and the leader of the national youth team informed Yang Yang that the team had departed from Beijing to Paris, and then transferred from Paris to Toulon, so that Yang Yang could go directly to Toulon to meet the team.

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

Along the way, Wei Zhen kept introducing Yang Yang to the Toulon Cup trip of the national youth team.

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

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

In order to better prepare for the Olympic Games in 08, the Chinese Football Association plans to organize school-age players to go to Germany for long-term training, which is similar to Jianlibao back then, and Krauchen is the head coach recommended by the German side.

"I heard the news that he is likely to take over the national youth team and be in charge of the Olympic Games in '08." Wei Zhen reminded.

The Olympics and the World Cup are two hurdles that Chinese football has never been able to get rid of.

Entering the World Cup in 02, everyone is full of expectations for the World Cup in Germany in 06, and is confidently ready to rush out of Asia and enter the World Cup again.

As for Krauchen, he was tasked with the '08 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 has shown, let alone the national youth team, it is impossible for the national team to ignore him, as long as there is no accident, he will definitely be the main force of the 08 National Olympic team.

"Tell me about the Toulon Cup, I don't know much about it, no one from the Football Association has sent me any information, tomorrow is the game, I don't even know anything about who the player I am playing against and what characteristics he has in addition to knowing that our opponent is Colombia." Yang Yang smiled bitterly.

This kind of preparation is really not even at the level of the second team of Ajax.

But Wei Zhen also shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, everyone doesn't know." ”

"How is the game played?"

"When you play, you will kick, anyway, it will matter where you play."

Yang Yang smiled bitterly, this is really not his style.

He has always had high requirements for himself, either he doesn't do it, or he has to try to do his best.

"There have been many stars in the Toulon Cup, such as Papin and Henry, Portugal won the Toulon Cup last year, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who played for Manchester United this season, was in Portugal at that time, and he performed very well, and was favored by scouts from many teams, and Ferguson was selected in the warm-up match because of the Toulon Cup scouting basis."

Yang Yang knows that this player, who inherited Beckham's No. 7 shirt at Manchester United, has a very fancy style of play, likes to dribble the ball, and is very fast, but in the Premier League and Manchester United it is a mixed reputation, because many people think he is too sticky.

"Although Portugal won the title, the best player of the tournament went to Argentina's main midfielder Javier Mascherano who finished third.

"Oh, I know him, now playing for River Plate, coming out of the Solari family's football academy, and he's a very promising star all over the world."

"That's right." Wei Zhen secretly praised in his heart, sure enough, he is in Europe, where professional football is developed, and the information is well-informed, even Mascherano is familiar with it, and it seems that Yang Yang is not just blindly playing football.

"And what about this year? Are there any rising stars in the competition? Yang Yang asked with concern.

"It's not you." Wei Zhen replied with a smile.

Yang Yang smiled awkwardly, "I mean really. ”

"I'm just telling you the truth." Wei Zhen repeated with a smile on his face, "Didn't you figure out how popular you are now?" ”

Yang Yang was speechless, he really didn't have an impression, but he knew that after the Champions League final, the three major Dutch newspapers put him on the front page, and many newspapers reported on him for several days, nothing more.

"Seventeen years old, Champions League final, stunner, people who care about football all over the world are paying attention to you, all media reporters are looking at you, I don't know much abroad, but in China, my colleagues told me that your current fame is not lost to Yao Giant, so I suggest that you better find a trustworthy person to take charge of your business affairs in China."

"What do you mean?"

"Soon a large number of domestic companies and brands will come to you, and the sponsorship fee given is estimated to be no lower than that of Yao Giant, you can't do everything yourself, right? So, if you want to play with peace of mind, it's best to find someone you can rely on. ”

Yang Yang listened to it with a big head, and he still had this trouble?

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

He found that he was really not good at 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 should not be underestimated, Liverpool's twin stars Pongler and Le Tale, as well as the core midfielder Mezzini of Bologna in Serie A, as well as midfielders Flamini and Mavuba, and the back line also has Bertod, Columbus, Ziani and other stars who have already played famous in Ligue 1, and the overall strength is very good."

For the players mentioned by Wei Zhen, some of them are more familiar to Yang Yang, such as Pongler and Le Tale, these two players are cousins and are highly used by Houllier in Liverpool, and everyone is very optimistic about them.

The others are relatively unfamiliar, but those who can play in teams such as Bologna and Lyon will definitely not be fuel-efficient lamps, and with so many stars coming together, the strength of this French team can be seen.

"If I'm not mistaken, we should have met France in the second game, right?"

"That's right, the first game against Colombia, the second game against France, the third game against Turkey, if you can qualify from the group, the next opponent will be stronger." Wei Zhen also said with a solemn face.

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

"You scored the winner in the Champions League final, which is a good thing for you, to be able to participate in a high-level competition like the Champions League, it is a rare experience for you, I believe that after playing in the Champions League, you will have more confidence in playing the Toulon Cup, this is an advantage."

When Wei Zhen said this, his words changed, "However, the disadvantage is that other teams will definitely pay attention to you, and they will do everything possible to guard against you, and whether you can perform well at that time depends on yourself." ”

Yang Yang nodded slightly, he was not afraid of being closely watched, and he could take this opportunity to practice stopping the ball.

"Oh, yes, and also, you're used to working with the Ajax players in the Netherlands, but in the youth team, it's better to be mentally prepared, your team-mates won't be as good as they were in the Netherlands."

No matter how Ajax says it, it is also the new Champions League champion, and Yang Yang is cooperating with European stars like Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart, even if it is Sneijder, it is also the new generation of young internationals in the Netherlands, and it is certainly not comparable to the internationals of the national youth team, so Wei Zhen hopes that Yang Yang had better be psychologically prepared.

…………

When Yang Yang and Wei Zhen arrived in Toulon and were picked up by the organizing committee to check in at the hotel prepared in advance, his teammates from the national youth team were still on the flight to Paris.

In the evening, the national youth team arrived at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France, but when they were connecting to another airport, the bus they rented was half an hour late due to traffic jams.

Finally came to the airport of transit, it was already nightfall, but the fatal plane was delayed, at this time everyone was hungry and tired, and could only buy something in the airport to hastily satisfy their hunger, and as a result, they only had US dollars, and were forced to accept the high prices and exchange rates of the airport, and a few sandwiches and soda were enough to eat nearly 300 US dollars.

It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that everyone boarded their flight to Toulon.

An hour later, I arrived in Toulon, fortunately, the staff of the organizing committee had been waiting in Toulon, and after receiving someone, I was immediately delivered to the hotel, which was already past the early hours of the morning.

From 7 o'clock in the morning Beijing time to the early morning of local time in Toulon, it took 24 hours, and everyone was tired and tired, and they were already exhausted.

When the team arrived at the hotel, the team leader suddenly remembered Yang Yang at this time, and immediately asked the receptionist at the front desk of the hotel, if any players from the Chinese team arrived at the hotel in advance?

"You should be asking Yang Yang, right?" The receptionist asked with a smile.

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

"Of course, the goal in the Champions League final was so spectacular, how could you not know it? He arrived at the hotel at noon and went to the nearby stadium in the afternoon to train, and should be resting now. ”

Everyone in the national youth team is both envious and jealous, on the one hand, they are envious of Yang Yang's fame, even the hotel receptionist here in Toulon knows him, and on the other hand, they are jealous of his good luck.

They are all from the national youth team, he is full of food and drink and is sleeping, but they are working hard all the way, why is the difference so big?

What a human being has to throw away than a human being!
