Chapter 317 I won't give him any chance! [The third update of heartbreak, please subscribe for a monthly pass]

Tilburg, Netherlands, World Youth Championship training ground.

After successfully qualifying with three consecutive victories in the group stage, the Chinese team quickly moved from Utrecht to Tilburg.

After arriving in Tilburg, Clausen immediately led the team to the training ground.

The opponents in the knockout round of the sixteenth round are announced, Krautchen's home country, the German team.

The national youth team played a warm-up match with the German team before, and it was a two-to-two tie, and neither of them could take advantage.

But that time, the national youth team did not have Yang Yang.

The three-game winning streak did not make the national youth team completely lose their minds. In the subsequent group stage summary, when Yang Yang spoke as a player representative, he was the first to point out the team's defensive problems. He believed that this would become the biggest obstacle for the team to continue to go further.

Clausen also said that he already has a whole set of plans to improve his defense.

After arriving in Tilburg, Krautchen adopted a closed training camp and declined the interference of external media reporters.

Regarding defensive training, Krautchen focused on letting players practice the overall operation and coherence of the defensive system. What he emphasized the most was not to blindly press, but to fight as a whole and maintain a meticulous integrity.

"Individual defense not only has no effect, but will continue to waste our physical energy. Only overall defense can protect our goal!"

Since many of the things Kraushen emphasized are very similar to those of Ajax, Yang Yang also took the initiative to act as a translator and commentator, and conveyed Krautzen's intentions to the players, especially Feng Xiaoting, who was designated as the leader of the defense by Krautchen.

In order to better help Feng Xiaoting understand Kraushen's intentions and at the same time direct the team's defense well, Yang Yang once again resorted to the trick he used to help Zheng Zhi, combined with the video and analysis reports on the laptop, and explained to Feng Xiaoting how to be the core of the defense and how to ensure the ball in the midfield.

In addition to the German team's offense, set kicks will also be the magic weapon for the German team, because their height has an overwhelming advantage, which is also the most obvious advantage of the German team.

"The German team has a strong integrity and is relatively average technically, but its tactical awareness is very mature. Its body and impact are the strongest team in this World Youth Championship. Therefore, set kicks will be their most threatening way of attack."

In response to this point, Clausen made targeted arrangements for set-piece defense.

At the end of the training, it is how the Chinese team will overcome the enemy.

The strategy given by Clausen is to control the midfield and give full play to Yang Yang's advantages on the offensive end.

Gao Lin's performance in the first three group matches has been recognized by everyone in the team, including Yang Yang. Although he doesn't seem to score many goals, as a high center forward, his tactical role is quite obvious.

Chen Tao's performance on the right was also very good, and this game Klauschen obviously did not want Yang Yang to face the German team's defenders directly, but hoped that he could attack more in the future.

As for the most important midfield arrangement, Krautchen decided to deploy a more controlling technical midfielder.

From the rehearsal before the game, it is not difficult to see that the midfield combination of Hao Junmin, Cui Peng and Zhou Haibin is the most affirmed by Kraushen, and it is also the most controlling midfield combination that the National Youth Team has been able to form so far.

Among them, Cui Peng from Shandong also performed quite well in this World Youth Championship.

In addition to the tactical level, Klauschen is also quite detailed in terms of technical details. For example, he personally taught the players how to deal with the pressing of German players. What he emphasized the most was the sudden turn after receiving the ball.

"German players have a height advantage, but their turns are slow, and we have an advantage in this regard, as long as they turn around, they can immediately form a local advantage."

These seemingly simple and basic things have actually brought great gains to the players of the National Youth Team.

Due to the limited training ground, the Chinese team and the German team shared a training ground, and the two sides communicated with each other to coordinate the time.

But as a result, the German team was 10 minutes earlier than the agreed time.

There are three venues in the same training ground, but after the German team came to the training ground in advance, they did not go directly to other venues for training, but stood on the sidelines and watched the training of the Chinese team with great interest.

Among them, the most curious German player is Yang Yang, the number one star of the Chinese team.

But they failed to find Yang Yang in the main group, but saw him in the substitute group.

This can't help but make the German team feel puzzled.

When playing Panama, Yang Yang did not play, and did not give accurate information to the outside world, but now he is arranged on the bench, what does that mean?
"They deliberately messed up the order, just don't want us to see their starting lineup." German coach Skibe laughed, this is just a trick used before the game.

Everyone knows that it is impossible for Yang Yang not to play, he is the core fighting force of the Chinese team.

Not only is the lineup messed up, but even the content of the training is nothing unusual. It seems that they are all ordinary group confrontations. At most, they can only see the strength of the Chinese players, and there is no specific content at all.

On the contrary, when Yang Yang dribbled the ball quickly and forced a breakthrough, the pendulum swayed past the goalkeeper and succeeded in pushing the empty goal, he won warm applause on and off the court, even the German players on the sidelines applauded.

"Hey, great work, Yang!"

"The pendulum is extraordinary, it's wonderful!"

But the booing of the German players quickly attracted the attention of FIFA officials, and they immediately walked over to remind them not to hinder the training of the Chinese team, so the group of German players walked towards the training ground next door indifferently.

But the head coach Skibe's expression was dignified, solemnly exhorting his players.

"During the game, no matter what, you must freeze Yang Yang. Don't give him any chance. He will be the deadliest sharp knife for the Chinese team. Block him completely!"

Rene Adler, the captain of the German team who played for the Bundesliga pharmaceutical company Leverkusen, turned around, frowned and looked at Yang Yang in the distance, and replied in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I won't give him any chance!"

…………

Willem II Stadium, Tilburg.

In the knockout round of the World Youth Championship, China played against Germany.

To everyone's surprise, the seemingly strong German team did not take the initiative to attack as many outsiders expected, but actively and steadily tightened the defense after the opening.

Fierce pressing, solid overall defense, coupled with obvious advantages in physical fitness, all of these made the German team let the Chinese team into a hard fight from the very beginning of the game, especially the offensive players in the frontcourt.

"Early before the game, the German head coach Skibe said that the offensive power shown by the Chinese team in the group stage is worthy of vigilance, and the German team did not perform well on the offensive end in the group stage, but no one thought that he would use defensive counterattack tactics to deal with the Chinese team, which is indeed quite unexpected."

"For Yang Yang's defense, the German team has obviously made sufficient preparations."

"Judging from the three group matches, defense has always been the advantage of the German team. They only conceded one goal in the three rounds, and that was lost to the Argentine team. Relatively speaking, the Chinese team's three consecutive victories in the group stage relied on offense."

"So, this game may surprise the fans."

"The seemingly strong German team actually played a defensive counterattack against the weak Chinese team."

"But we must not be careless, because Germany, which plays defensive counterattacks, is the most terrifying German team!"

……

The commentary from national television, which was broadcast live in the country, did not reach the Willem II Stadium.

But there is no need to be reminded by the outside world. The National Youth Team has a very clear understanding of this.

The German team adopted a four-four-two style of play, but took the initiative to shrink the three lines, and the intention was very clear, that is to freeze Yang Yang.

For this point, Yang Yang also has his own clear understanding.

In this game, Krautchen played in a four-three-three formation, with Yang Yang on the left, Gao Lin at the center, Chen Tao on the right, and the midfielder was a combination of Hao Junmin, Cui Peng and Zhou Haibin.

But in fact, both Yang Yang and Chen Tao retreated a lot in order to ensure the initiative in the midfield.

From the very beginning of the game, the Chinese team controlled the ball very smoothly and had an advantage in possession rate.

The German team mainly defended along the center line and did not retreat very far back, but their pressing was very active, and their one-on-one defensive advantage was very obvious, which made it difficult for the Chinese team to organize effective cooperation.

The smooth ground penetration of the first three rounds of the group is also difficult to reproduce on the German team, and the offense is a bit stuck.

On the other hand, the German team has no advantage in possession of the ball, but they have an advantage in physical confrontation. Once they get close, the ball is easily intercepted.

In the opening stage, both sides played in a bit of confusion. First, Yang Yang was very active on the left, but the German team quickly invested heavily in their own right. As soon as Yang Yang got the ball, he was immediately closely marked by the German team.

For this situation, Yang Yang was also psychologically prepared.

Seeing that it was difficult to play the ball in the midfield, he immediately retreated actively to catch the ball from his teammates in the midfield.

In the 19th minute of No. [-], Yang Yang retreated to respond to the pass from the midfielder, then suddenly turned around and got rid of it, and dribbled the ball forward along the left. When he shifted the defensive attention of the entire Germany to his side, he suddenly shifted his big foot to the right.

Chen Tao was already ready to go. After stopping the ball with his chest, he dribbled the ball down the right and made a cross.

Gao Lin, who was ambushing in the penalty area, grabbed the position in the middle, headed the goal and hit a far corner, but the German goalkeeper René Adler flew to save the ball and gave the Chinese team a corner kick.

But this wonderful flying save won Adler applause.

The young German goalkeeper didn't take it seriously, and directed his teammates to start corner kick defense, looking quite general.

And when Adler looked at Yang Yang again, the tall German goalkeeper couldn't help but wonder.

Isn't it said that Yang Yang is a famous scorer?
Why did he look more like a midfielder in the first 10 minutes without even taking a shot?
Could this be Krautchen's arrangement?

Well, he had a few good passes, especially the big-foot transfer just now, which was very thoughtful.

But does he only have this ability?
Adler definitely doesn't think so, because Yang Yang is the winner of the European Golden Boy Award, the best player in the UEFA Cup, the Eredivisie Golden Boot, and at the same time broke Ronaldo's legendary record, a genius who is famous in European football.

Is that limited by our defense?
