Chapter 1420 Let's Cherish Yang Yang!

In world football, there are countless news about Yang Yang almost every day. Among them, the most popular and attracting fans' attention is undoubtedly the comparison between players.

In the past, the debate about who is better, Yang Yang, Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, has sparked long and heated discussions all over the world. However, in recent years, as Cristiano Ronaldo switched to Barcelona and partnered with Messi and Neymar, Yang Yang’s status still could not be shaken, making such debates gradually subside.

On January [-], Yang Yang won the World Footballer of the Year again in Zurich, completing the European Golden Globe and World Footballer of the Year Grand Slam. This is the tenth consecutive year he has won this honor, which is an unprecedented great achievement in football history.

No matter it is FIFA, UEFA, Spanish Football Association, AFC, they all congratulated Yang Yang on their official websites, Real Madrid and Spanish media sang praises for Yang Yang at length, and in China, major media also scrambled to praise Yang Yang, which even triggered a wave of enthusiasm around the world.

When many media look back on the past, they will be surprised by the world football in the past ten years, because this is something they have never thought of, because they have been expecting someone to stand up to challenge Yang Yang countless times, but in the end they all failed.

It's been ten years. In the past ten years, the European football world has been swept away by waves, countless talents have emerged, and countless heroes have been lonely and invisible, but only Yang Yang is still leading the way.

In the past, they published a report on [Yang Yang II] every week. Now, they publish a report on [Yang Yang’s successor] every week. These topics around Yang Yang have fed countless media reporters around the world.

Yang Yang II has emerged one after another, and Yang Yang's successors are numerous, but Yang Yang is still standing on the top of world football.

Many media and fans will be amazed at the birth of a certain player just because of a game. The next day, the major newspapers will swarm on it, sending out tempting doubts, "This player is too good, can he catch up with Yang Yang?"

In the past few years, many names familiar to fans have appeared in the list of "this player", such as Neymar, Hazard, Griezmann, Dybala, Harry Kane, Lewandowski, Sterling, Salah...

There are too many, so many that when all the media and fans look back, they can't help but be surprised to find that the popular stars in Europe today were once known as Yang Yang II in the past, or Yang Yang's successor in recent years.

What an interesting thing this is!
But actually?
In terms of championship honors, Yang Yang has won countless championships in his career. He has dominated the world football for ten consecutive years and even led the Chinese team to the World Cup finals. Who can match such a feat in the history of world football?

In terms of performance, Yang Yang has broken the single-season scoring records of the Eredivisie, Premier League and La Liga successively. His total number of goals in La Liga is unmatched, and ancient legends such as Di Stefano are far behind him.

Similarly, in the UEFA Champions League, Yang Yang’s total number of goals in the UEFA Champions League is also the best, and it is the kind of lead that makes the opponent far from seeing the possibility of catching up. Even though Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are closely behind, ranking second and third, they can’t even catch up with Yang Yang’s tail.

It can be said that this is a desperate gap.

Van Basten once said in an interview with the media that Yang Yang's achievements are not only unprecedented, but also unprecedented.

Beckenbauer also once commented that Yang Yang is the only one who is still playing football, but he is destined to become the legend of the greatest player in football history.

Not long ago in Zurich, when FIFA President Infantino awarded the World Player of the Year, he didn't even give any suspense, and announced the result directly. He also clarified some doubts about the media and fans.

"Yang Yang is not only a leader of our time, he is constantly expanding the boundaries of football and constantly improving the limits of football."

"The vast majority of professional players are looking up to legends, a small number of outstanding players are chasing after legends, and very few top players are comparable to legends, but Yang Yang has surpassed legends and continues to lead in front."

The president of FIFA believes that one of the most important reasons why Yang Yang has been questioned every award season in the past few years is not because of his poor performance, nor is it that he is not eligible to win the award, but because he has performed too well.

"We know that many media and fans like a player because of a certain brilliant game or a peak season, but why do they question Yang Yang?"

"Other players usually score more than 20 goals in a single season. Occasionally, they score [-] goals or [-] goals. That is already quite amazing. We will think that this player is too good, but what about Yang Yang? He has never scored less than [-] goals in the past few years. Why do we turn a blind eye?"

"The reason is simple. We are used to it. We regard other players as miraculous performances, but Yang Yang is used to it. Other players may not score a hat-trick in a season, but Yang Yang can always score a few in a single season, or even a dozen. Gradually, we began to feel that this is normal, and we have higher requirements for him."

"When we are satisfied that he can score more than [-] goals every season, we will unconsciously ask him to score more, [-] goals, [-] goals, or even [-] goals. For other players, we may only have [-] or [-] goals."

Infantino finally expressed with regret, "Maybe one day in the future, when we hear the news of Yang Yang's retirement, countless people will cry bitterly, because we will lose him forever, and we will regret what we have said and done now."

"Let us cherish Yang Yang well!"

……

Infantino's words, as well as Yang Yang's tenth World Player of the Year, made the whole world go crazy.

But within Real Madrid, it is urgent to find Yang Yang's successor.

From Dybala to Salah, to Inter Milan's Icardi, to Tottenham Hotspur's Harry Kane, Manchester City's Sane and Sterling, Manchester United's Martial, Dortmund's Ousmane Dembele, to Monaco's Mbappe.

Real Madrid has inspected players from almost every club in the mainstream European leagues, ranging in age from 20 to 25 years old. Even players who have been famous for many years such as Aguero and Lewandowski are in Real Madrid's plan.

This is a very large project, it will not be done overnight, but it is very difficult.

You know, in the past few years, Yang Yang has accounted for about half of Real Madrid's goals every year, so how can he be filled casually?

But now, Yang Yang is 30 years old, and Suarez is also 30 years old.

Many things could stay in the discussion stage before, but now, they must be put into practice.

At the core high-level meeting of Valdebebas, Yang Yang got a thick stack of player materials from the technical team, which listed the key player data that the technical team had inspected in the past one or two years. From their technical characteristics analysis, performance data, psychological evaluation, personality habits, etc., all aspects were included in it, which was very, very detailed.

Real Madrid is not short of money. After Jesse disappeared due to injuries, Real Madrid must introduce another high-level young player to the front line. This is already an urgent matter.

The key question is, whom to bring in?

……

"Yang, what do you think?" Florentino asked with concern after Yang Yang and others finished reading the material.

He attaches great importance to Yang Yang's opinion.

Yang Yang glanced around and found that everyone was staring at him. He smiled slightly, "I took a look, and I think it is still necessary to introduce young players. This is also a long-term consideration."

Everyone also nodded. Players such as Aguero and Lewandowski are very powerful, but they are also very expensive. After being introduced, they will be old within two years, and then there will be a lot of trouble.

Besides, they may not be able to fill Yang Yang's vacancy.

"Now about [-] young players are introduced into the team. I will take him personally to help him integrate into the team as soon as possible and improve his level. I believe there should be a smooth transition."

Yang Yang's words made Florentino and others breathe a sigh of relief, because this was the situation they most wanted to see.

Bringing the new with the old is the process with the best metabolism for all teams.

And Real Madrid never thought that someone could fill Yang Yang's vacancy, or replace Yang Yang, because this is impossible, and the team still hopes to avoid turbulence, or a big landslide in the team.

"I looked at the player profile, and I think Dembele's self-discipline is not strong enough. I heard that he is addicted to games?"

This is the information submitted by the scouts.

"There are indeed hidden worries in this regard." Valdano shook his head and sighed.

This is also a big problem in youth training nowadays. There are too many temptations faced by young players.

"Mbappe is a good choice. I read his information. After returning from injury this season, although he has not played the main force yet, as long as he starts the game, he plays quite well."

The worst was the No.13 round of Ligue 63. They played [-] minutes without scoring or assisting, but still performed very well. The remaining four games started, one with two passes and one shot, two with one pass and one shot, and one with an assist. They were all very good.

More importantly, according to the feedback from Real Madrid scouts, Mbappe trains very hard on weekdays, especially in the recovery stage after injury, he is also very self-disciplined, which is what Yang Yang values ​​most.

"Whether Mbappe is on the court or off the court, he is learning from you." Zidane said with a smile.

He is French and has a good understanding of the French player Mbappe.

Yang Yang nodded, "I have watched his game, he is a very characteristic player, I am optimistic about him."

Seeing Yang Yang's strong support, Florentino made a decision immediately after referring to the opinions of Zidane, Valdano and others.

"Then let the team focus on the investigation and contact Monaco at the same time. If it is appropriate, we will do it this summer."

Real Madrid is running out of time.
