When the loud [March of the Volunteers] sounded in the stadium, Yang Yang stood solemnly in front of the bench, put his right hand on his chest, and sang the national anthem aloud with his teammates, coaches and players on the field.

At this moment, Yang Yang's heart was full of excitement.

It was the first time he wore a bright red jersey with the national flag, and a sense of pride was born.

He knows very well that wearing this jersey, he is no longer just fighting for himself, nor for the Football Association for the national team, he is representing 1.4 billion Chinese people to go abroad and play.

He also secretly vowed in his heart that the game could be lost and defeated, but he would never lose the face of the Chinese.

In the stands behind him, hundreds of Chinese students studying in France and Europe spontaneously came to the scene, and they all waved the banner of cheering for the Chinese team, and many of them were still shouting Yang Yang.

But tonight, Yang Yang will sit on the bench and watch the first half of the game.

For this reason, Yang Yang specially accepted an interview with national TV before the game, saying that he took the initiative and explained the reason.

After the national anthem of China was anthemed, it was the turn of Colombia's national anthem.

Yang Yang noticed that their players were also standing solemnly, which also confirmed the sentence.

Football is a war without gunpowder.

…………

Since the Toulon Cup is a youth team game, according to tradition, the game is only 80 minutes, 40 minutes each in the second half, Yang Yang sat on the bench in the first half to watch the game, and when the second half will be played, it depends on the situation.

The starting formation of the Chinese team is 442, which is characterized by balance, although there are also wings, but it is very different from Yang Yang's 433 formation during the Ajax period.

The right winger, as the name suggests, is more forward and more like a striker, while the right winger is more backward and has to take on some defensive tasks, especially when the team is switching from attack to defense.

What surprised Yang Yang was that although the players of the national youth team had traveled a long way to Toulon, they performed very hard in the game, dared to fight on the court, and actively used speed to open up the situation.

Not to be outdone, Colombia were also unbeatable, with both teams playing aggressively and switching between attack and defense quickly.

This is not difficult to understand, after all, it is a youth team, and the overall technical and tactical content is still much weaker than that of the senior team.

The Chinese team played more integrated and defended better, while Colombia attacked aggressively, but mainly concentrated in the middle, lacking effective wing attacks, and playing a relatively single style.

The players of the national youth team have a lot of running and pressing in the midfield, which makes Colombia very uncomfortable, and there are frequent mistakes, the most lethal of which occurred in the 22nd minute, when the Chinese team's No. 11 striker Zhu Ting broke the ball and shook three defenders in a row to volley at the edge of the penalty area, but was saved by the opposing goalkeeper.

However, nine minutes later, the Chinese team's back line made a mistake and failed to clear the opponent's long pass, and the opponent's No. 14 player seized the opportunity, but unfortunately did not stop the ball and wasted an empty goal.

The first half ended 0-0.

At halftime, head coach Tie Sheng affirmed the team's performance in the first half, but also encouraged the team to make persistent efforts, believing that although Colombia's individual strength is above the Chinese team, the overall strength is not strong, and the Chinese team still has a chance.

So, taking advantage of the halftime break, Tie Sheng replaced the main offensive player Chen Tao, this player is also good at playing on the right side, playing right midfield, speed and foot skills are very good, the coaching staff hopes that he can open the defensive gap on the right side.

But after the start of the second half, Colombia also adjusted its tactics and began to actively engage in the pressing of the midfield, catching the Chinese team's passing and receiving mistakes.

Especially in the 50th minute, Colombia broke the ball and passed a long pass to the front, three offensive players continued to cooperate to attack the penalty area, the Chinese team's back line leaked, and Colombia's No. 8 player got up to hit the goal without being marked.

Fortunately, goalkeeper Guan Zhen played well, blocking the ball with a single fist and defusing a crisis.

At this moment, Tie Sheng finally couldn't sit still.

…………

…………

"Come on!"

"Thank you!"

After Yang Yang shook hands with his teammates on the sidelines, he patted each other on the shoulders and replaced the team's striker Wan Cheng off the field.

This is the arrangement made by the head coach Tie Sheng to Yang Yang, after he comes on the field, he can act as a free man in the front court, let him play, and the rest of the team will try their best to cooperate with him.

Yang Yang quickly ran into the field, and when he passed by his teammates along the way, he could feel the inquiry and doubt in the other party's eyes.

We didn't know each other, we didn't know each other, we just met in the afternoon during the pre-match meeting and introduced each other.

They are too unfamiliar with Yang Yang.

Yang Yang is not the same for them?

In the past, at Ajax, the tactical system of the youth team and the first team was very close, and he could do it seamlessly, but he only had a general understanding of the current style of play of the national youth team, and he was still very rusty.

Colombia obviously also knew Yang Yang, and was quite afraid of the Chinese player, who had just scored the killer goal in the Champions League final a few days ago, and after Yang Yang came on the field, they began to consciously strengthen their defense against Yang Yang.

But in the end, it is the youth team, in Yang Yang's view, the opponent's defense is very empty, and it is easy to run out of the gap.

The first touch of the ball came from a pass from a midfielder, when Yang Yang retreated, brought out the defender, and was about to turn around and quickly cut forward, but his teammate passed the ball directly to his feet, which caused his subsequent series of actions to jam.

Stopping the ball, Yang Yang was withstood by the defenders behind him, and had no choice but to pass back.

The second pass was slightly better, the diagonal pass from Chen Tao's right side, but the amount was not given in advance, Yang Yang was forced to slow down and stop the ball and then suddenly accelerated, but the effect has been greatly reduced, but Yang Yang still protected the ball at the front of the penalty area, and passed to Chen Tao on the right side, but failed to create a threat.

The next few times the cooperation was still very unsmooth, there were a few mistakes, not to mention being counterattacked by Colombia, even Yang Yang himself was very tired, he didn't think it was the ability of his teammates, but they were relatively lacking in running and responding.

It's not that the players don't run, on the contrary, everyone runs aggressively, but they don't run around their teammates with the ball to form an effective point of contact.

Without enough receiving points, the ball carrier will have fewer options and more mistakes.

In addition, teammates rarely think about the receiver's next move when passing the ball, they simply want to pass the ball to their teammates and nothing else.

Yang Yang himself used to be like this, so he can understand the mood of his teammates at this moment.

It's not that they work hard, it's not that they don't want to pass the ball well, it's that they don't know how to do it.

Thinking of this, a thought came to Yang Yang's heart, since Colombia attaches so much importance to him, then he is simply responsible for attracting the attention of the defense and creating opportunities for his teammates to open the defensive line.

It was a good opportunity to use Colombian players to practice their stopping.

…………

…………

After changing his thinking, Yang Yang still ran very actively, and every time he ran to the opponent's vacancy to catch the ball, attract the attention of the defense and then pass the ball to his teammates in the weak defensive area.

Yang Yang's change immediately made the situation of the Chinese team on the field change significantly.

It is the name of the so-called man, the shadow of the tree.

Yang Yang's achievements at Ajax have been reported in great detail by domestic media, and the players of the national youth team are very impressed with this teammate who is two years younger than themselves, which makes them all inclined to pass the ball to Yang Yang.

Therefore, after Yang Yang changed his role, he immediately revitalized the team's midfield attack.

When the game reached the sixtieth minute, Yang Yang suddenly ran to the empty place on the right side to catch the ball.

Chen Tao immediately passed the ball over, Yang Yang stopped the ball to his side, turned around and chased the ball.

This sudden move immediately surprised the Colombian defenders, and there were three defenders around him who rushed towards him at the same time, naturally missing Chen Tao on the right side.

At this moment, Yang Yang suddenly made a direct pass and sent the ball accurately to Chen Tao's diagonal front.

Originally, Chen Tao was still hesitating whether to run over to answer Yang Yang, but he didn't expect to see the ball coming out, he was taken aback, where did he have time to think, and directly chased the ball at the fastest speed.

Chen Tao chased the ball, and gradually had a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and when he caught up with the ball, he clearly saw that there were no defenders around him, and his teammates had already been ambushed in the penalty area.

The next thing is logical, Chen Tao crossed the penalty area on the right side of the penalty area, and the striker Zhu Ting near the penalty spot quickly followed, pushed the ball into the Colombian goal, 1-0!

The audience applauded.

Hundreds of fans who came to cheer for the Chinese team danced excitedly.

Zhu Ting, the hero of the goal, quickly rushed to Chen Tao and hugged his teammate hard, while the other players of the Chinese team also pounced.

This goal is too important for the Chinese team.

Yang Yang also ran over and congratulated his teammates on their goals, which made Zhu Ting and Chen Tao a little flattered, especially Chen Tao, who looked at Yang Yang with a little more doubt in his eyes.

…………

…………

After the Chinese team opened the scoring, Colombia began to be a little anxious and invested heavily in the offensive end, but the Chinese team itself is good at defensive counterattacks, coupled with Colombia's single offensive characteristics, it is not difficult for the Chinese team to defend.

The defense was solid, and the counter-attacks were starting to work.

In the 68th minute, the captain's right fullback Liu Yu stepped forward to assist, and Yang Yang raised his hand to ask for the ball, and took two steps horizontally after stopping the ball, and suddenly passed diagonally with his left foot to the left.

The ball hit the goal again for Colombia, 2-0.

If the first goal just now was not obvious, then Hao Junmin's goal, Yang Yang's role was vividly reflected, especially his passing vision, which ensured that the team could suddenly move the ball from the right side to the left side and catch the opponent off guard.

Only five minutes later, after receiving the ball on the right side of the front of the penalty area of Yang Yang, getting rid of the defender to the right side of the penalty area, Chen Tao cooperated with Liu Yu, the right fullback of the captain who assisted the game, and knocked back in front of Liu Yu's bottom line, and Mao Jianqing, who came on as a substitute, pushed the empty goal.

Three to zero!
