Football: I am only 16 years old, and you want me to retire and make a comeback?

Chapter 187 Alaves’ targeted defensive counterattack made El Shaarawy feel overwhelmed!

"What are you doing!"

Asenjo yelled at Musacchio: "Why did you give up your position!"

The Villarreal goalkeeper was very angry about Musacchio's actions.

Asenho had already taken a good position just now, and if Davidson pushed the ball towards the corner, he would have a high probability of saving the ball.

But because of Musacchio's mistake in close defense, Davidson pushed the ball to the far corner, which directly caused Asenho's defensive plan to explode.

“I want to go to the positive side”

Musacchio was a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to comfort the angry Asenho.

"Focus!"

Escrivá pointed to his temple and asked the players on the field to remind each other.

Although Alaves was not an easy opponent to deal with in the first place, the opponent's performance today was indeed a bit exaggerated.

The team scored against Villarreal in less than 20 minutes, which put a lot of pressure on head coach Escribá.

"Be careful when attacking. If you lose the ball, get back on defense quickly. Don't let the opponent get a single chance!"

After Rodri was brought over to make some simple emphasis, Escribá then cheered up the players.

In a two-legged match, if Villarreal loses the first leg at home, they will be close to being eliminated.

"call……"

Tang Ye rolled the chewing gum to both sides of his teeth with his tongue and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's a bit helpless.

Take a look at your current progress.

【Creating offensive opportunities: 2/18】

In this game, Villarreal's offense was basically not very effective, so it's no wonder that Tang Ye's statistics were very average.

“Come on, come on!”

"Come on, Tom!"

"Villarreal go ahead!"

The home team fans gave encouragement, and the ready Villarreal players urged their opponents to kick the ball out.

"Fuck, let me check the odds first"

"Don't panic, the odds for Villarreal are still pretty strong, let's wait and see."

"Tang Qiuwang is a slow-starter. Just because Villarreal can't find a chance now doesn't mean they won't find a chance later."

"You can now buy a draw, or even if you trust Tang Ye enough, you can buy a home team win."

[The anchor started to cheat money again]

[King Tang is gone, now is the era of Messi and Ronaldo]

[The facts prove that the real king of football is old, the era belongs to Messi and Ronaldo]

[This full-back of Alaves is quite powerful, Theo Hernandez, only costs a few million euros, isn't Villarreal planning to get him?]

[Buying players? Before saving enough money to buy out Tang Ye, Huang Qian will definitely not make any signings]

It was the 38th minute of the first half, and Tang Ye had created 5 chances.

But it was of no use. Bakambu was a little dazed today and wasted two consecutive cross opportunities, which made Tang Ye a little anxious.

Villarreal now has a slight advantage on the field, and the cheers of the fans in the stands further magnify Villarreal's advantage.

But the fact is, Alaves is the leading side now!
"Go, go, go!"

"Left! Left! Look to the left!"

Escribá was roaring, and Rodri was just about to listen to his coach and pass the ball to Sansone on the left, but at this time Tang Ye on the right reached out to him for the ball.

This……

Rodri is Tang Ye's younger brother, and Tang Ye is a capable player under Escribá.

The vassal of my vassal is not my vassal.

When Escriva and Tang Ye gave orders at the same time.

Compared to the coach, Rodri should listen to his elder brother more!
After making a good choice, Rodri sent a straight pass from the right according to Tang Ye's instructions.

"Damn it!"

Escribá shook his hands and then slowly walked to his seat on the bench.

"what happened?"

Marty asked, looking up.

Escriva sat in a chair: "I felt that I shouted but the sound was already very loud, but Rodri just didn't hear it. Marty, did you hear what I just shouted?"

Marty shook his head: "I heard a little, but not very clearly"

"No wonder..."

Escriva sighed.

Damn it!
He should have shouted louder!

Shout louder so Rodri will make the right choice!

Tang Ye ran forward, passed the ball to Bakambu in front of him, and then cut inside into the middle.

Snapped!
Bakambu quickly hit the ball back from Tang Ye.

Perfect cooperation from Tom and his good friends!

Snapped!
[De Bruyne's long-angle shot lv5: Re-engraving]

Proficiency: 0
The location is far away.

However, Tang Ye only used the technique of shooting from far corner to pass the ball to his teammates.

Send it to the position behind the penalty area!
Use the force of a shot to kick a cross, and the speed of the ball will be so fast that it will be difficult for the opposing defender to react.

Can teammates react?
The answer to this question depends on Tang Ye’s teammates.

All Tang Ye can do is try his best to get the ball to the position he thinks is appropriate.

“The cross was played quickly!”

"In the restricted area!"

"It's the back point!"

"Alai!"

Ale ran up from the back position.

Tang Ye's pass was towards the left post, which meant that if Ale wanted to receive the header, he had to run to a relatively forward position.

Compare the front.

Even close to the bottom line!
Well, now it’s almost there!

Jump up!
Tighten your core and withstand the opposition defender's confrontation.

Header!

boom!
Alai's header hit the ground, bounced out and went into the net.

"GGGGG-OOOOOO-LLLLLLL!!!"

"The ball is in!"

"Fuck, perfect!"

"Tang Ye's assist!"

"The pass was very, very quick, but Arai was able to seize the opportunity!"

"Um……"

After sitting in the gaming chair and thinking for a while, Wang Chao felt that what he had just said was not very rigorous.

"In fact, it was mainly Tang Ye's pass. Alai played a secondary role, but Alai was also very crucial."

"Two attackers from the Eredivisie directly dominated the Copa del Rey quarterfinals, which was full of La Liga teams!"

Tang Ye, who was in the backcourt, stood still, pointing his index finger at the position where Ale was in the penalty area.

At this time, Rodri and Bruno ran up from behind, one on the left and one on the right, and put their arms directly around Tang Ye's neck.

"VAMOS!!!"

[You get counterattack points*10]

[Create offensive opportunities +1 (excellent offensive opportunities)]

【Creating offensive opportunities: 6/18】

The first half was almost over, and Tang Ye had only completed one-third of his mission.

It’s a bit of a pity.

But it doesn’t matter, at least we tied the score.

What Tang Ye needs to do now is celebrate!

"Wow!"

After celebrating, Escribá sat back in his chair and said: "Fortunately, my voice was not loud, otherwise I would have missed this goal."

"So what did you just yell?"

Marty asked over his shoulder.

Looking at Marty's expectant eyes, Escrivá took a deep breath.

"I just asked Rod to pass the ball directly to Tom, and then Tom went straight to the bottom line. I didn't expect him to cooperate with Cedric and pass the ball directly."

Marty nodded: "Well, there's no need to be sad. I think it's best to let Tom go to the bottom line. Anyway, as long as he doesn't pass to the left, it will be fine. Tom's cross from the bottom is also very powerful."

"Eh"

Escribá waved his hands: "If it was a cross from the bottom, you wouldn't have seen such a wonderful assist."

Escriva moved his two hands in the air and reconstructed Tang Ye's pass with Marty.

It was indeed a pass, but the way Tang Ye kicked it always gave people the feeling that he was going to shoot directly at the goal.

I can only say that Tom is so thoughtful.

Only his friends can touch his passes.

No one else can!

Tom won't let the bad guys touch the ball!

Half-time report from the Football Emperor: Villarreal drew 1:1 with Alaves at home. Tang Ye made a violent pass and Alai scored to equalize the score.

"Come on, Tom!"

"Tom!"

Villarreal fans on both sides of the player tunnel reached out their hands and wanted to high-five the stars of the Villarreal team.

Bruno and Haller didn't feel anything about it, but Tang Ye was very interested. He raised his hand and high-fived the fans in the right stands one by one.

The stands were getting higher and higher, so Tang Ye couldn't touch the hands of the fans above after just a few steps.

Just at this moment, the person waiting for Tang Ye to high-five was a little boy held by his father. The little guy looked at Tang Ye with expectant eyes.

My father prepared to walk down the stairs.

"It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to move... (Chinese)"

"cough!"

Realizing that he had used the wrong language, Tang Ye quickly adjusted himself.

"It's okay, you don't have to move."

The father was standing there holding the child, and at this time Tang Ye jumped up.

Snapped!
Perfect high five!
"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye fell back to the ground and gave the little boy a thumbs-up gesture, and the latter's face was full of smiles.

"You're welcome!"

"Ha ha!"

The last one to return to the locker room, Tang Ye skillfully closed the door with his foot.

After confirming that all the starting players were present, Escrivá started his analysis directly.

The first half ended in a 1:1 draw, which was expected and acceptable for Villarreal.

But beyond the score, Escrivá wants players to see other issues that arose in the game.

Tang Ye is a little nervous now.

Because according to the training process, he would be questioned by Escrivá soon.

hiss--

What is worth analyzing in the first half of the game?

Think fast!
Think fast!
Tang Ye was under a lot of pressure, but in the end Escriva did not ask anyone questions.

Tang Ye then remembered that competition and training were different.

During training, the team has enough time to slowly analyze the problems.

But the halftime break in an official game is only 15 minutes. In order to save time, Escrivá will choose to say everything he has thought about in the first half.

"Fight back!"

"Fight back!"

“This is something we need to pay attention to!”

"We also had a La Liga match against Alaves in November and they also played on the counter-attack, but now it's different. Their counter-attack has become stronger!"

"Be careful not to lose the ball in the front court... Oh, forget it!" "I won't talk about the ball possession, the main thing is to concentrate. If you lose the ball in the front court, you must retreat as soon as possible!"

"Retreat to protect, this is very important!"

Tang Ye suddenly asked: "What about the ball possession?"

"This one……"

Escriva turned around and faced Tang Ye: "It would be best if you can control it, but I don't want you to be afraid to pass the ball because of the ball possession issue."

"Oh, sorry, I just don't want you to be afraid to pass the ball because of the ball possession issue. Well, that's about it."

"Come!"

"It's the quarter-finals, one more step to the semi-finals!"

Escrivá's speech served to boost morale, and Tang Ye spat out the gum that he had not finished chewing in the first half accurately into the trash can in front of him.

Attack the semi-finals.

It's done!

……

"The second half of the game begins!"

"Come back soon, come back soon!"

The second half had started half a minute ago, but the number of people online in the live broadcast room had not yet reached the peak at the end of the first half.

Now, many fans are so engrossed in reading the comments section of the football emperor that they have forgotten that the halftime time has long passed.

"I told you guys, you can keep the live broadcast room open during halftime"

"It's okay, it's okay. Missing half a minute is not a big deal. Let's see what Ai Sheng is going to do next."

"A draw at home is definitely not an option"

"This is Huang Qian!"

It has nothing to do with money, Wang Chao just wants to see Tang Ye win the game.

He really wants to see Tang Ye win the game!

67th minute!

After Villarreal lost the ball in the frontcourt, Alaves immediately seized the opportunity.

I have to say that these forwards of Alaves can really run.

On the way back to defense, Tang Ye was breathing heavily.

Damn, if only he had the same strong stamina as Gomez and Davidson!

Snapped!
Femenía made a long pass from the backfield directly to Mendes.

Mendes is also the kind of player who likes to show off. He showed off a fancy stop after jumping up from the wing.

I have to say, Mendes's control of the ball was indeed quite skillful.

Snapped!
Pass to Llorente in the middle!

Llorente, who was running forward, stopped immediately after getting the ball and decisively passed it to Camarasa in front of him.

Facing Ruiz who was trying to steal the ball, Camarasa decisively passed the ball to Gomez on the left.

Gomez took the ball again and pushed forward to the baseline!
Very quick transfer from right to left!
This is why Alaves suddenly became stronger.

They transfer the ball from defense to offense very quickly.

Moreover, the speed of shifting from the strong side of the offense (more defensive players) to the weak side of the offense (fewer defensive players) is also very fast.

Alaves players run fast, they can take advantage of Villarreal’s time difference!
Take Gomez for example, he just got the ball and not long after that, this guy is already almost at the baseline!
The tactics formulated by coach Pellegrino are really suitable for these players!

Come to the bottom line!

Left foot cross!

Snapped!
Directly into the penalty area!
In the middle penalty area, Davidson suddenly rushed in and grabbed the ball.

Asenho was ready to save the ball, but Delvison did not choose to shoot. He chose to pass the ball to Camarasa behind him.

Camarasa holds the ball!

"Get up!"

Asenjo yelled, but it was too late now.

Adjust one step!
Camarasa!

Direct shot!

"I rely on!"

Wang Chao suddenly jumped up from his chair.

Camarasa's volley flew past Asenjo.

The ball went in!
"Grass!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The familiar show came on, and Wang Chao picked up the mechanical keyboard he had just bought two weeks ago, held it tightly, and smashed it directly on the table.

The keycaps flew out and hit the ground with a "bang".

It felt great, but it didn’t fully express Wang Chao’s anger.

After the score was tied, Alaves scored again!

"Grass!"

【It's over, brothers! 】

[…Invincible, luckily I bought both rounds together, I can make money as long as Huang Qian advances]

[Pellegrini is quite fierce. This counterattack tactic was designed to strangle the Villarreal players]

[Yellow Potential easily loses the ball in the frontcourt, and Alaves directly counterattacks. Why do I feel that this tactic of the opponent is designed specifically for me, the King of Football? ]

[Tang Ye passed the ball to the opponent and lost the ball. The opponent scored a goal in a counterattack and Huang Qian was eliminated.]

[It seems that Tang Ye didn’t lose the ball in that attack just now. I really admire you haters]

Camarasa's goal completely disrupted Villarreal's rhythm.

Now Escriva finally understood.

After the list of players for the Copa del Rey quarter-finals was announced a week ago, Alaves specifically studied Villarreal.

At that time, Villarreal was still concentrating on the game against Deportivo La Coruna, little did they know that their next opponent had already studied them thoroughly.

With one hand, he used defensive counterattack to grab Huang Qian's neck!
"It's okay, it's okay. Those who can win can win!"

Bruno encouraged his teammates on the field and patted Tang Ye's arm: "Come on Tom!"

The current situation is not very good for Villarreal, Tang Ye can see it, so he dare not delay and immediately goes to the sidelines with Bruno to listen to Escrivá explain the next tactics.

Escriva's initial plan was to keep the team's offensive momentum in the first half, but Alaves' defensive counterattack tactics gave him a headache.

Something had to change.

In the next game, Escribá asked Tang Ye not to pass the ball for the time being unless he encountered any particularly good opportunities.

"This……"

Tang Ye pursed his lips and didn't chew the gum in his mouth for a long time.

"It's okay Tom, today's opponent is special."

The celebration on the other side was over, and Escrivá pushed Tang Ye back into the court.

The game continues!

Tang Ye habitually wanted to check the progress of the task, but when he thought about the fact that his team was still lagging behind, Tang Ye decided to put the upgrade task of his treasure chest aside for the time being.

The current game is the most important!

"Villarreal!"

"Villarreal!"

After adjusting their mentality, the Villarreal fans in the stands slowly regained their momentum.

In the next few minutes, Villarreal's number of attacks decreased slightly, but correspondingly, Alaves had fewer opportunities to defend.

This was actually Escrivá's mistake.

In fact, he should have changed to this tactic when the score reached 1:1.

The current situation is that Villarreal and Alaves are wasting time, but Alaves is the one leading in the score.

What's going on here?
Let Tom create opportunities?

Because of the concern about the opponent's quick counterattack, Tang Ye's passing is now restricted!
The 77th minute of the game!

The fans in the home team's stands suddenly screamed.

Tang Ye's pass after pulling the ball and turning around helped Huang Qian find a very good attacking opportunity!

It was a long-awaited attacking opportunity. Sansone very cautiously carried the ball towards the penalty area.

Femenía followed Sansone, looking for an opportunity to steal the ball.

But Sansone is very, very cautious, and his excellent ball-protecting ability helps him keep the ball firmly under his feet.

Costa ran behind Sansone, trying to receive Sansone's pass and then play a high cross.

But soon Llorente ran over and stood directly between Costa and Sansone.

Wow, Pellegrino has obviously studied Villarreal’s offensive style!
A very good cross position was directly found by Llorente and then intercepted!
There is no way. Sansone is neither Messi nor Hazard. It is definitely not feasible for him to rush directly into the penalty area relying on his personal ability at this time.

The only option was to pass the ball to Bruno at the top of the arc.

Bruno was not in a hurry after getting the ball. He first looked at the position on the right.

Tom was also locked down by the Alaves defender!

no solution anymore.

Bruno made up his mind, adjusted himself and shot directly from a long distance!
boom!
This is a one-kick airplane!
The plane flew over the crossbar and directly into the stands!
"what!"

Bruno covered his face with his hands.

Depend on!
What a pity this ball!
The Villa captain missed the chance to equalize the score!

Escrivá on the sidelines did the same thing as Bruno, covering his face with his hands.

But to be honest, there is really no way around this situation.

Turning his head to look at the score displayed on the big screen at the top of the stadium, Escrivá quickly made his substitution.

Soriano replaces Rodri!
Cheryshev replaces Bakambu!
Replacing the players with a new striker and a new midfielder shows that Escriva is still a little ambitious!
"Tom!"

Cheryshev, who had just come on the field, handed Tang Ye a note.

[Strengthen the left attack]

After Cheryshev came on the pitch, Sansone, who was originally playing on the left, was switched to the right, leaving the left position vacant for Cheryshev.

The meaning of Eskriva's note was that Tang Ye should pass the ball to Cheryshev more often.

He has plenty of physical strength!

Tang Ye opened the note, spat the gum into it, and then put the crumpled-up ball-shaped note into his pocket.

Including injury time, there should be a little over 10 minutes left.

There isn't much time, but you can still make the most of it!

"It's the 87th minute!"

"Yellow Qian!"

"Fight back!"

As Tang Ye’s most senior fans, Wang Chao and the bean warriors in the live broadcast room can be said to be the ones who most hope the team will win.

Maybe these are real fans!
"Here here!"

As the game time approached, the Villarreal players on the field couldn't help but play anxiously. Tang Ye came to the left side and quickly asked Costa for the ball.

Snapped!
After the through ball was played, Tang Ye quickly made way to let the ball roll naturally in front of him.

There are no suitable passing points around, so you must save the first pass!

Run and watch the penalty area!

Because he was on the left side, Tang Ye could see the positions of more than 50% of the players in the frontcourt at the same time.

Now is not a good opportunity!
Run a few more steps with the ball!

Cheryshev, Haller, Sansone, and captain Bruno who came forward to pretend to be a center forward.

Well, now would be a good time!
Before Femenia could completely run out, Tang Ye made a cross.

[De Bruyne 45-degree cross level 4: realistic]

Proficiency: 129/500
Directly to the position above the penalty spot.

Alai rushed in!
boom!
In the shot, Haller's header flew directly over the crossbar.

The ball was hit too high.

This is also a plane!
This is Villarreal's best chance in the second half of the game!

Haller has been strong throughout the season, but he is not a god and cannot guarantee that he can seize every opportunity!
Does Villarreal have more chances?

Look at the time!
It's already the 89th minute and there weren't many fouls in this game, so it's impossible for there to be more than 3 minutes of extra time.

It has ended!
Escrivá sat back on the bench dejectedly.

To be honest, at least half of the responsibility for the team's loss in today's game should be attributed to him.

Because Alaves won against Villarreal entirely by relying on tactics!
A little regretful.

Should have prepared for the quarter-finals earlier!
