The Chinese team was unexpectedly upset, defeating Germany 2-0!

When the results of the first day of the World Youth Championship round of 16 knockout round were released, it once again detonated the world's media, and all the fans who followed the World Youth Championship were surprised and even a little unbelievable.

China eliminated Germany? And a 2-0 victory?

Are you sure you didn't do it back?

When the media and fans confirmed the news, they were shocked.

For a long time, the United States has been known as a football desert, and football is not the mainstream in the world's hegemonic power.

But the situation in China is no better.

As an economic power with the world's fifth-largest GDP, China's football ranks outside the dozens of places in the world.

In 02, after decades of hard work, it finally squeezed into the World Cup, but it was in the same group as the future World Cup champion Brazil and the World Cup third runner-up Turkey, and the result was all three defeats, no goals, and was eliminated in shame.

In the following two years, there was a huge decline in Chinese football, and scandals continued.

In the impression of the media and fans around the world, Chinese football is almost synonymous with weakness and incompetence.

But when will Chinese football be able to play such eye-catching results on the world-class stage?

Three consecutive wins in the group stage, eliminating European runners-up Turkey, defeating Ukraine and Panama, with a winning record, became the first team to qualify from the group at the World Youth Championship, second only to Spain in attacking firepower.

If the opponent in the group stage was not convincing enough, then the subsequent knockout round of 16, beating Germany by two goals, was an ironclad fact, and it was also the most shocking to everyone.

That's the world's traditional powerhouse, Germany, known as the German tank!

Lost 0-2 to the Chinese team?

Not only were the media and journalists around the world shocked, but when the news reached China, the fans in China couldn't believe it either, and it was hard for them to imagine what the team would look like after years of weakness.

Defeat Germany?

It was a distant dream.

But it turned out to be a reality!

All the Chinese fans were taken aback and couldn't believe it, and they all confirmed again and again that they were afraid that it was the rumors of some bad media in China, so on the Internet, the most asked sentence by netizens was, "China really defeated Germany?" ”

When it was confirmed again and again, everyone cheered and danced in celebration, and some even couldn't help but cry.

In the quarterfinals, the national youth team actually entered the quarterfinals!

Who would have thought? Who would have thought? Who would have thought?

The domestic fans are completely boiling!

The enthusiasm for the World Cup in Germany has not faded, and the national youth team defeated Germany at the World Youth Championships and entered the quarterfinals, which once again triggered the excitement of domestic fans, and countless media and fans sang praises for the national youth team.

National television and party newspapers also focused on this football event, believing that the national youth team equaled the best record of the World Youth Championship 20 years ago and entered the quarterfinals of the World Youth Championship again.

As the team's top scorer, Yang Yang has also been popular with domestic media and fans.

Five goals put him in joint top scorer with Spain's Llorente and Ukraine's Aliyev, who have already been eliminated from the competition.

Yang Yang was followed by Spain's David Silva and Italy's centre-forward Pelle, both of whom 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 made it past the group stage, Japan lost 1-0 to Morocco and Syria lost 1-0 to Brazil in the knockout round, with neither Asian team making it past the quarter-finals.

However, the Chinese team defeated Germany 2-0 with Yang Yang's pass and shot.

When focusing on this game, everyone was very impressed with the defense of the national youth team.

In an interview with national television after the game, the head coach of the national youth team, Crouchen, said that he focused on practicing defensive tactics before the game, and the players also executed it very well in the game, and Feng Xiaoting was very stable in the backline.

Crouchen spoke highly of Yang Yang's performance, believing that the team's number one star played a key role.

"I've always thought that Yang Yang would give the whole team a huge boost, he's an incredible player, he's a great tactical execution, and he's got a lot of individual ability, which makes him quite dangerous in the game, and he's very versatile, he's capable of playing multiple positions, different roles."

In addition to Yang Yang, Crowchen also highlighted Gao Lin, believing that the high school striker is an important part of the team's outstanding performance.

Running without sparing physical strength, aggressive pressing up front, solid fundamentals, excellent and consistent ball handling, combined with excellent physical fitness, even against German defenders, have earned Golling the approval of Crowchen.

Not only is the Chinese head coach, but Yang Yang is known as the number one star of the World Youth Championship in the official FIFA selection, and the 18-year-old genius who has just broken Ronaldo's legendary record in the Eredivisie and won the best player in the League Cup is the most watched star in this cup.

As for Golin, FIFA also gave a very high evaluation, believing that he is one of the three most tactical center forwards in this World Youth Championship so far, while the other two are Spain's high school striker Llorente and Italy's high school striker Pelle.

Another international player of the Chinese team who has been recognized by FIFA is Feng Xiaoting, whether it is the many long-distance runs with the ball in the group stage, or the steady defense against the German team, and the general style when commanding the backline, Feng Xiaoting has become the most eye-catching central defender in this World Youth Championship, and has attracted the attention of many European teams.

Hao Junmin, Zhou Haibin, Chen Tao and Cui Peng and other national youth team players were also praised and affirmed.

Everyone agrees that it is the outstanding performance of these players, coupled with the integration of Crowchen's tuning, that has enabled the national youth team to play wonderful attacking football at this World Youth Championship.

And the outstanding performance has also made the players of the national youth team begin to receive more and more attention from the media and scouts.

…………

…………

The day after the game against Germany, when the national youth team came to the training ground again for recovery training, they suddenly found that there were many media reporters and fans gathered outside.

That battle was a big surprise to the players of the national youth team.

Even last time when Yang Yang returned to the team for training for the first time, there weren't so many.

There is no doubt that Yang Yang is still the most popular player, which can be seen from the enthusiasm of the media reporters and fans at the scene after his appearance, but the other players have also been warmly welcomed.

In the past, the Chinese media and Chinese fans who watched the training of the national youth team were generally the Chinese media, but today it is obviously different, at least more than half of them are foreign media and foreign fans, which is unimaginable for the players of the national youth team.

When will these foreign media and fans pay so much attention to Chinese football?

"A lot of the fans are scouts." Yang Yang reminded his teammates softly.

This suddenly made the players of the national youth team a little nervous.

Scouts for European clubs?

After the national youth team defeated Germany, the head of the Football Association who supervised the team personally promised that the Football Association would do its best to support the players of the national youth team to stay abroad, and was even willing to come forward to help the players coordinate and communicate with the club.

Obviously, they also clearly see the role of foreign players.

Yang Yang felt that this was a good thing.

To put it bluntly, no matter what the purpose of the Football Association is, whether it is to be promoted and make a fortune, or if you really want 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 humane.

Is it necessary if, as some unscrupulous media reporters have said, they have to ask how they love football and do their best to contribute to the development of Chinese football?

Why do we have to hold others so high in moral terms?

It's the Football Association, it's the players, it's the manager.

And many times, the Chinese media still ignore the fact that Chinese football is poor.

Japan has been vigorously developing football since the 90s, and at that time, Japan's economic level is needless to say, and it is very rich.

On the contrary, China's economy has indeed developed rapidly 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 at all.

Youth training costs money, running a league costs money, running a club costs money, plus some special reasons that can't be said......

Yang Yang's deepest impression was that in the Toulon Cup last year, there were so many people in the team, and they only brought so much money; There is also the World Preliminary Tournament to play Kuwait, China does not have a direct flight to the Middle East, and has to go around Amsterdam and then return to the Middle East, tossing back and forth, to put it bluntly, there is no wallet machine.

A poor word, combined with the lack of popularity of football itself in China, the end result is what it is now.

And Yang Yang now begins to feel that with the strengthening of national strength and economic development over the years, both the government and all walks of life have paid more attention to football, and after experiencing the shame of the World Cup, everyone has begun to reflect.

As a player, there are very few things he can do for Chinese football.

The only thing he can do is do his duty as a professional and play every game as best he can.

If he can, he hopes to bring hope to Chinese football and fans across the country at this World Youth Championships.

Thinking of this, Yang Yang also took a deep breath, cleaned up his mood, and applauded vigorously to call on his teammates.

"Alright, alright, everybody's ready for training."

After hearing this, the captain Feng Xiaoting also came to his senses, but he couldn't lose face in front of foreign media and scouts, so he immediately called his teammates to start preparing for training.

Today's training program is mainly recovery training, which is open to the public for 15 minutes, followed by a closed training session, the main purpose of which is to continue to practice the team's overall offensive and defensive tactics, but also to conduct tactical training for the next opponent.

After stepping over the German team, the next opponent of the Chinese team is Spain from the same half of the zone!
