Iron Sound woke up from the couch in the café, only to feel unbearable soreness.

Several of his assistants sat opposite, still asleep with their heads covered, snoring louder and louder.

It was midnight after the team arrived in Toulon last night, and the players didn't even eat anything, so they went back to their rooms to rest, but the coaching staff couldn't help it, they went to the café and ordered a cup of coffee to study today's game.

One of the first problems for the coaching staff is how to make good use of Yang Yang.

It's a blissful conundrum.

A right winger who can shine in the Europa League and score the decisive goal at the crucial moment of the Champions League final is too high for the current national youth team, and how to use him well has become a very headache for the coaching staff.

Yang Yang is two years younger than the current players of the national youth team, but his strength is very good, and he has experienced the experience of the Champions League final, and the strength of the game is absolutely second to none in the team.

The whole team organizes tactics around him, of course, but this is a general statement, how should the tactics be organized around him? How do players match him? How to play his threat?

Yang Yang's teammates at Ajax are European talents such as Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart, his partner on the right is a Tunisian international, the top 10 right wing-back of the world Footballer of the Year, Sneijder, De Jong, Wesley Sonk and others are also strong internationals in European powerhouses.

It can be said that the conditions that Ajax can give him cannot be given at all in the current national youth team.

But in public and private, Yang Yang must be used well.

The national youth team is a national team, Tie Sheng must want to bring the team well, and using Yang Yang well will greatly increase the strength of the national youth team, but if Yang Yang is not used well, no matter what the team's results are, he and the Football Association will be questioned.

What's more, Alihan arranged for Yang Yang to play the Toulon Cup, which also meant that he would run in with domestic players, because after playing the Toulon Cup, the Asian Cup would follow.

This is the first time in China's history to host the Asian Cup, and everyone in China is full of expectations and eagerness.

In the decades of Chinese football history, there has never been an Asian Cup.

But the coaching staff talked for several hours last night, and they couldn't come up with a reason, until the early morning, they couldn't stay up, so they fell asleep on the sofa.

Tie Sheng suddenly remembered Wei Zhen, maybe he could provide some advice.

As soon as he thought of it, Tie Sheng immediately returned to the room, and after washing it, he went to knock on Wei Zhen's door.

The latter is a reporter for the sports channel of the state television, and they have known each other for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zhen was not in the room, he could only make a phone call, and finally found someone in the lobby of the hotel.

"Xiao Wei."

Tie Sheng stepped forward in a hurry, looked around, but was a little surprised, "What about Yang Yang?" ”

"It's out."

"Get out?" Tie Sheng's face suddenly sank.

In China, he has a nickname called Tiedan, as the name suggests, the nickname basically reflects his character and leading style.

Although Yang Yang played very well at Ajax and is currently the biggest star of the national team, he is going to play at night, and he is still going out to play at this time, which is a bit unusual, right?

"Xiao Wei, why didn't you stop him?"

Wei Zhen noticed the change in Tie Sheng's face, pondered his tone again, and immediately understood that there was a misunderstanding, and immediately stood up and pulled Tie Sheng to sit down with a smile, "Tie Dao, you misunderstood, he didn't go out to play, but went out for morning exercises." ”

"Morning exercises?" Tie Sheng was surprised.

"That's right, this is a habit he developed in the Netherlands, go to bed early and get up early, get up early every morning and go out to run with the ball and exercise in the morning, and don't come back if he doesn't run a few kilometers."

Tie Sheng was taken aback when he heard it, "Every day? ”

"Well, almost, at least I heard the coaches and players of Ajax and Almere say that, there is a park on Almere's side, and there is a concrete wall that was kicked and broken by Yang Yang, saying that it will be a tourist attraction in the future."

Tie Sheng was really shocked at this time, but at the same time, he was somewhat ashamed that he had misunderstood Yang Yang.

"Don't worry, Iron Guide, I can assure you that he is definitely the most professional player I have ever seen."

Tie Sheng looked at Wei Zhen deeply and nodded his head to show that he believed it.

"I'm looking for you for this matter, our coaching staff has been having a headache last night, how should Yang Yang be used?"

"Won't you just let him play?"

"It's easy to say, but how can the other players cooperate with him? He's just come to the team and he hasn't even trained with us once, and we've been blind to him because you know, we've never used such a big player. Tie Sheng smiled bitterly.

That is an important player of the Champions League champion team, and the hero of the Champions League final scoring the killer goal, not to mention in the national youth team, even if he is in the national team, Yang Yang is also a veritable big name.

Wei Zhen smiled after hearing this, "Iron Guide, do you know? Yesterday, Yang Yang was also talking to me about this problem. ”

"And what did he say?" Tie Sheng asked with concern.

"Yang Yang also feels that he has not practiced with the team, what are the characteristics of his teammates, what is the situation of the team, he also knows nothing, the most terrible thing is that he has to play tonight, he doesn't even have time to practice with the team, he is also worried that he will not play well on the field, which will affect the team's results."

He ...... Really? Tie Sheng was a little surprised.

It's a little different from the big names he remembers.

"Really." Wei Zhen said, just when he saw Yang Yang coming in from the gate of the hotel, he immediately pointed to the door, "He's back, don't believe it, ask him yourself, Yang Yang, here." ”

Yang Yang came back sweating, and was about to go back to the room to take a shower, but he didn't expect to see Wei Zhen in the lobby, and the one next to him who had seen the photo from the website was the current head coach of the national youth team.

"Hello, Tie Gui, I'm very happy to meet you, I'm Yang Yang." Yang Yang immediately greeted him.

Tie Sheng had also been looking at Yang Yang, and from Yang Yang's sweaty appearance, he had completely believed Wei Zhen's words.

"Hello, Yang Yang, I am very happy that you can come to the national youth team, and I welcome you on behalf of all the coaching staff and players of the team."

"Thank you, you're so kind, Iron Guide."

After a polite greeting, the three of them sat down in the corner of the lobby.

Wei Zhen knew that it was the first time for the two to meet, and they were a little strange, so he took the initiative to chat about the topic and talked about tonight's game.

"Iron Guide, that's what I personally think."

"Uh-huh, you say." Tie Sheng replied with great importance.

"As for me, I'm a newcomer, and maybe I don't even recognize my teammates now, so I don't think it's appropriate, if I can, I want to play as a substitute first, and observe the playing habits of my teammates and the team's tactics on the sidelines."

Yang Yang took the initiative to mention it, but Tie Sheng was a little caught off guard.

Big names, they must play the main force.

If Yang Yang asked, then Tie Sheng would have to let him go anyway, but now Yang Yang actually took the initiative to ask for a substitute, which made Tie Sheng breathe a sigh of relief, but also sighed in his heart, Yang Yang was able to break out of Ajax, it was really not false.

"Since you confess, then I will also tell you directly, our coaching staff studied all night, because the understanding of you is also limited, so we really don't know how to arrange it for the time being, the first game we will treat as training, I will give half time, you first look on the sidelines, familiarize yourself with the team, I will let you play in the second half, how about it?"

"Of course there is no problem, I absolutely obey the arrangement of the coaching staff." Yang Yang immediately assured.

Tie Sheng was born as an international player, has been coaching for many years, and is used to seeing all kinds of people, he can see Yang Yang's sincerity, and he can also understand how difficult it is for Yang Yang to maintain such a mentality now.

Not arrogant or discouraged, it is easy to say, but it is difficult to do.

Thinking of this, Tie Sheng suddenly had a whim, and looked at Yang Yang deeply, "Come on, continue to work hard, the hope of Chinese football is pinned on your generation, the domestic environment is very complicated, if you can play in Europe, try not to come back." ”

In the end, Tie Sheng didn't know if it was because he stayed up late or was emotional, his eyes were red.

When they met for the first time, Yang Yang didn't know how to answer, so he could only nod his head and agree.

In fact, he really didn't want to return to China.

"It's not easy for them." Wei Zhen looked at the back of Tie Sheng leaving and sighed.

"What's wrong?"

Wei Zhen shook his head, there were some things he still decided not to let Yang Yang know, "It's nothing, it's just that I heard from the reception staff of the hotel just now that they arrived at the hotel at one o'clock in the morning last night, and then the coaching staff has been studying tonight's game in the café until early in the morning, and it is estimated that the Tie Sheng guide will sleep for less than three hours." ”

After hearing this, Yang Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of respect, but at the same time, he also had another doubt, "Then why didn't you come to France earlier?" ”

"A lot of players have to play in the league." Wei Zhen explained with a wry smile, "The most important thing is that our logistics work is not professional enough. ”

Yang Yang couldn't stop nodding, in Ajax, basically the players only need to concentrate on playing, and there will be special people to take care of other things, such as Yang Yang's transfer from Almere to Amsterdam, and Miss Prissy La Jensen, the logistics handyman, is very professional, and everything is done properly without Yang Yang explaining anything.

Perhaps, this is the gap.

And this also made Yang Yang feel a little worried about tonight's game, after all, the players have traveled a long way, can the state be guaranteed? How much fighting the team can play is indeed a big problem.

It's no wonder that Tie Sheng and the coaching staff had a headache last night.

"I've heard a lot of seniors from sports channels, and a lot of seniors in the football world have said something that I give you today." Wei Zhen suddenly said seriously.

"What?"

"Of the three hundred and sixty lines, only the sports line can raise the national flag and play the national anthem before the game."

Yang Yang was touched in his heart when he heard it, didn't he?

In addition to sports, which other group can raise the national flag and play the national anthem before the game?
