After Real Madrid defeated Juventus 3-1 at home and advanced to the Champions League final with an aggregate score of 6-3, the world's media gave Yang Yang overwhelming praise, scoring five goals in two legs in the Champions League semi-finals, which is amazing.

There are even many people who believe that when Real Madrid is not in the best condition, it is Yang Yang who dragged this Real Madrid into the Champions League final alone, and took a step towards the hegemony of defending the treble.

Even, Real Madrid has grabbed the Big Ear Cup with one hand!

In the midst of public opinion, a freshly baked journal from a French football magazine took Yang Yang as the cover and the title was "The Evolution of the Football King!" ], with a series of articles to comprehensively analyze Yang Yang's progress over the years.

French football can be said to have witnessed Yang Yang's growth process in an all-round way, and the first article reviewed Yang Yang's performance during the Ajax period, believing that Yang Yang at that time was more like a traditional Dutch winger, with fast speed, strong explosiveness, excellent dribbling and breakthrough ability.

"To this day, there are still countless fans who miss Yang Yang's debut back then."

"On the evening of December 9, 2003, in Brugge, Belgium, Ajax had to beat Brugge to advance, but in this crucial game, Ajax had a weak away performance and could not win the opponent."

"At a time when the whole team was almost in despair, Yang Yang, who was only 17 years old, made his first appearance for Ajax's first team."

"At that time, no one had an impression of the young player, not even the media even had very little information about him, and everyone had only one reaction to this substitution, and that was that Ajax had completely given up hope."

"Many years later, when the media interviewed the then Ajax coach Ronald Koeman, the Ajax meritorious coach frankly said that he really did not have hope at that time, and the replacement of Yang Yang was just to fulfill one of his promises and give Yang Yang a chance, but what he didn't expect was that the subsequent development of things was completely unexpected by everyone."

"It was in that game, in the final stage of the final round of the Champions League group stage, that Yang Yang came out of nowhere, with dazzling light, with his sharp breakthrough on the right side, and his signature pendulum pass, with a genius flash, to lead Ajax out of the predicament, with his assists, to help Ajax retreat and successfully advance."

"Overnight, Yang Yang's fame in the whole European football world, and even the whole world attracted attention, everyone began to pay attention to this young rookie in the Ajax academy, Van Gaal, who was the technical director of Ajax at the time, once said that Yang Yang is not a genius in the strict sense, but he will surprise the whole world!"

"The sixth round of the Champions League group stage is just the first cry, and then in the Champions League knockout round, although Yang Yang failed to grab the main position, he was arranged by Ronald Coman to come on as a substitute again and again, and each time, he was able to use his sharp breakthroughs and accurate assists to help Ajax break the deadlock."

"Finally, on May 26, 2004, Yang Yang's Ajax walked into the Schalke Stadium in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, against the Portuguese Super League giants Porto led by Jose Mourinho, and Yang Yang and his teammates had the last laugh, and he once again became the key to the game!"

"Over the years, when we look back on the Champions League season eleven years ago, when we recall Yang Yang's birth, we still feel excited, because we know that the fledgling young man will rule the entire European football scene for ten years in the future!"

"The media of that year praised Yang Yang very much, but every year in European football, there will be many rookies like Yang Yang back then, some of them may be just a flash in the pan, and some may not be able to develop to the expectations of the outside world in the end, and there are only a handful of them who can really reach the height they deserve."

"But Yang Yang is definitely a role model for all young players to learn from, because he not only did it, but did it almost perfectly!"

French football magazines then began to analyze Yang Yang's years at Ajax, from his role in the game and team tactics, as well as the technical and tactical characteristics and playing style he showed, including Yang Yang's outstanding performances in the Toulon Cup and the subsequent Asian Cup for the national team.

They finally came to a conclusion, that is, Yang Yang's strength has improved by leaps and bounds during that period of time, the momentum of progress is very amazing, and more importantly, he is very self-disciplined, very hardworking, and has adhered to basic training for a long time, trying to make himself more comprehensive.

Comprehensive, this is a point that the French football magazine focuses on.

After a long period of tracking and analysis, and having a lot of data to support them, they came to a conclusion that the reason why Yang Yang is difficult to defend is because he is too comprehensive.

'If he made his mark at Ajax and made rapid progress, then his maturity would not have been possible without a team and a manager, Liverpool and Benitez, the manager of Liverpool at the time.

"During the Ajax period, Yang Yang played as a right winger, but in fact his left foot was as proficient as his right foot, and after two or three summer transfer rumors, Yang Yang rejected many European giants, including Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Chelsea, and chose Benitez's Liverpool, which was questioned at the time, but was later considered extremely wise."

"At Liverpool, Yang Yang didn't appear on the right side, he was more active on the left, and he started to use his speed and breakthrough ability to cut in from behind the left or cut inside with the ball, which made his attack more subtle and more threatening."

"So far, many people are wondering if Benitez really created Yang Yang?"

"But in fact, Yang Yang has said in public more than once that Benitez has helped him a lot, whether it is technical and tactical literacy, or the role on the court, it has had a profound impact on him."

"As early as when he played in the Eredivisie, Yang Yang's goal efficiency was already very high, but in fact, we all know that the Eredivisie goals in those years were very large, and after the Eredivisie goalscorers landed in the four major leagues over the years, there were only two people, one was Yang Yang, one was Suarez, and the other players were not as good as the original."

"In the Premier League, after Yang Yang became a left winger, he began to become more of a modern attacker, and the left side began to become his trademark, and Yang Yang's area was also recognized by the media and fans during that period of time, and he began to perform on the stage of the top league, and also began to dominate European football!"

"At Liverpool, Yang Yang began to reduce his breakthroughs and dribbles, but this does not mean a degradation in ability, but only to make his style of play more secretive, more threatening, and more concise and practical."

"Even after so many years, we can still find that the period of Liverpool's service is the time when Yang Yang's technical and tactical style tends to stabilize, and over the years, Yang Yang has become more and more comprehensive and better, precisely because he has laid a solid foundation during his time at Liverpool, and then continued to develop and improve in an all-round way on this basis."

"According to OPTA statistics, in the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 seasons, Messi completed a total of 258 successful dribbles, which is the veritable first dribble king in European football, and second only to Messi is Eden Hazard, who plays for Real Madrid, he completed 254 times, ranking second."

"Real Madrid's other winger, Di Maria, is also in seventh place, and as for Yang Yang, his success is only a little more than half that of Messi, ranking 13th, and it seems that the statistics seem to be miserable."

"But if we analyze it in depth, Yang Yang's number of attempts is the least among the top 30 players on the list, but the success rate is the highest, and most of his passes are longitudinal breakthroughs, which is not difficult to find that Yang Yang actually doesn't often try to pass people, but once he tries, he can basically succeed."

"More importantly, we must know that there is a huge difference between horizontal and vertical passes in terms of tactical threats, and the threat of the latter is far greater than that of the former, and the vast majority of Yang Yang's passes are this kind of vertical pass, which is especially rare."

"What's more interesting is that in the other lists of OPTA, Yang Yang does not have the most shots on goal, significantly less than Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, but he has the highest shot on target and the highest scoring efficiency, both of which are the best in European football."

"In addition, in other data, including assists, pass success rate, passing threats and other offensive data, Yang Yang can be seen in the top ten, and even in terms of interception and steals, if you put aside the defender and defensive midfielder, Yang Yang is ranked fourteenth in the list of offensive players in the midfield and frontcourt, which can be regarded as the data of a tactical center."

Later, the French football magazine also posted a heat map of Yang Yang's game, analyzing the difference between Yang Yang, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and other superstars, it is obvious that the Portuguese is basically parked in the front, and he prefers to move on the left side of the front, while Messi is on the right side of the front, but he retreats deeper and often responds to the midfield.

However, Yang Yang's game heat map covers the largest area, he is almost everywhere in the midfield, and he often retreats to help the midfield.

"In terms of running data, Yang Yang ranks first in running distance among forwards, and the average running distance per game is also the first, which is quite an amazing number, because it means that Yang Yang is running and covering almost every game with all his physical strength, constantly looking for and creating opportunities."

"Van Basten said that a player who runs up is not restricted!"

"And that's why it's so hard for Yang Yang to be limited defensively, because he's always running, because he's so well-rounded, so versatile that he can play anywhere in midfield."

"How can you defend against such a player?"
