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

Chapter 213 Tom is 18 years old. Can the birthday boy score a goal?
The time came to March 3th, which was the day of the 4th round of La Liga match between Villarreal and Espanyol.

Tang Ye has been looking forward to this day for a long time, but he was not referring to the competition, but the special date of March 3th.

Today is his birthday!
Well... based on last year's experience, Tang Ye should receive a task related to the ultimate treasure chest at this time.

But it seems that because the exact time has not yet arrived, Tang Ye has not received any message from the system.

"Our opponent was a bit strong today, but I think you should be able to score a goal"

On the bus, Rodri, who was sitting next to Tang Ye, suddenly said this. At this time, Tang Ye was lifting a corner of the curtain to peek at the fans outside.

"Why do you say that?"

Tang Ye turned his head.

Rodri did not answer, but Bruno in front of him explained the reason first.

“Because birthday boys and girls can score goals.”

“Haha, I also hope I can score a goal”

Tang Ye turned on his mobile phone and browsed the blessing messages sent to him by his friends on WhatsApp.

Among them, Ten Hag’s text message was the strangest. He sent a blessing to Tang Ye last night.

The Dutchman was very serious. He had to send a blessing text message to Tang Ye in the early morning of March 3th, China time, because he believed that was Tang Ye’s real birthday.

It is very troublesome to calculate the time difference when using the time of different regions frequently. Tang Ye now doesn’t know whether his birthday is March 3rd or March 3th.

……

Football Emperor match preview: At 1:26 am, Villarreal will face Espanyol at home in the 18th round of La Liga. This will be Tang Ye’s first game after he turned !
[18＞17, Tang Qiuwang should have a qualitative change today]

[GGBond is 18 years old this year. Let me tell you a ghost story. In 10 years, GGBond will be 28 years old. Now is not his peak period! ]

[Ten Hag is really unlucky. If Tang Ye had turned 18 last year, he wouldn't have to go to jail.]

[It doesn’t matter, I, Teng Sheng, will hide in Manchester and not return to the Netherlands]

When talking about Tang Ye’s birthday, fans naturally think of the Dutchman who suffered a disadvantage because of Tang Ye’s age.

Ten Hag is actually quite capable. So far this season, Manchester United is ranked fifth in the league and is only one step away from qualifying for the Champions League.

but……

Being fifth in the league is impressive, but Manchester United always has a feeling that Ten Hag has not given his full strength.

Teng Sheng was much more capable than this when he was in Utrecht!

Let’s put Ten Hag’s matter aside for now and focus the fans’ attention on the game.

Tang Football King!
Can he win his first battle at the age of 18?

In the locker room, Tang Ye frowned, looking thoughtful.

It should be a happy birthday, but Tang Ye was troubled by something in his brain.

He couldn't find an answer.

"What's wrong Tom?"

Alai in front noticed Tang Ye's situation.

"It's okay, I just felt something, but I just can't remember what it is..."

Just when Tang Ye was about to give up thinking, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I remember, Spaniard!"

"What's the matter with the Spanish?"

Alai didn't quite understand why Tang Ye was making such a fuss.

"3!"

Tang Ye held up three fingers: "They have three people with the same name."

……

"China Central Radio and Television! This is..."

"The game has started. You can see that the player wearing the yellow No. 10 jersey in the Villarreal team is Tang Ye. Today is his 18th birthday."

"Yes, that's right. When we are surprised at Tang Ye's performance, we often ignore his age. He is the current assists king in La Liga, the top scorer and assists king in the Europa League. It's hard to imagine that Tang Ye was not yet 18 years old yesterday."

"Today is Tang Ye's first game since he turned 18. Let's see what kind of performance he can bring."

"Now let me introduce the starting lineup of the visiting team, Espanyol, which is currently ranked 9th in the La Liga standings!"

Espanyol (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper: Diego Lopez

Guards: Aaron Martin, Diego Reyes, Oscar Duarte, Javi Lopez

Midfielders: Marc Roca, Jurado, David Lopez

Forwards: Piatti, Moreno, Melendo
Head coach: Flores
Villarreal has four La Liga games to play in March, and Espanyol is the strongest among these four teams.

Tom took on the challenge on his birthday!

The game started until the 15th minute, and neither team had scored a goal yet. There was no video of Tang Ye in the live broadcast room.

But at this time, the football expert was already furious.

【Awesome! 】

[I feel like Barcelona should have found the answer for next season, just sign Don Quixote! ]

[No, what are you talking about? ]

[Tang Ye is the most critical link for Barcelona right now. Let’s check out the quality of him in the King’s Cup in a few days.]

A large number of comments suddenly broke out in the live broadcast room, and the fans quickly switched screens to enter the football app.

Football Emperor pinned the post: Villarreal vs. Espanyol, the young goat Tang Ye's coming-of-age baptism is in progress...

Reprinted from Marca - After watching the match between Real Madrid and Villarreal, Barcelona coach Luis Enrique asked the club to increase the offer for Tang Ye. "They hope to use Tom to counter the three midfielders of the ceremony."

Use Tom to counter the ceremonial three midfielders?

No matter why Enrique came up with this idea, the fans only know that Barcelona really wants to buy Tang Ye, and that's right.

Then Tang Ye’s destination for next season has been decided, and is there any player that Barcelona can’t get?

Real Madrid reporter Cortegana (reprinted from the Football Emperor): Zidane has shown great interest in Tang Ye.

Uh, okay!

It’s hard to say whether Barcelona can get Tom!
[Let’s put it this way, Tang Ye transferred to Real Madrid, Tom transferred to Barcelona, ​​each side received 2 million, and Utrecht made a net profit of million]

[Tang~~Ye! 300 million euros loan contract, Real Madrid and Barcelona scramble for him, he will be missing next season~~~]

【17岁的唐业7500万，18岁的唐业怎么说也应该7500万×18/17=8000万欧】

[Villarreal: Only 8000 million euros? Then I'll buy it first]

[If it is 8000 million euros, El Shaarawy will wake up laughing in his sleep. If they can reach the semi-finals in the Europa League and sell a few players in the summer window, Villarreal may really be able to come up with 4 million euros.]

As the fans were chatting, Villarreal's attack suddenly started.

Throw your phone aside immediately.

watch TV!
"Tang Ye, great job! The through ball accurately found Sansone near the left baseline!"

"With his excellent vision, Tang Ye's long pass ability is top-notch in the entire La Liga."

"Look at Villarreal's attack!"

After completing the long pass, Tang Ye began to move towards the left bottom line.

Familiar taste!
The process of Tom's advancement is to first pass the ball to the winger, and then run behind the winger holding the ball.

The winger + the two forwards pretending to be forwards are near the baseline.

I just want to ask you if you are afraid!

Anyway, the Spaniards are scared!

"Go up, go up!"

Goalkeeper Lopez reminded loudly, and at this time defender Lopez took the initiative to run out of the penalty area and blocked Sansone's position first.

"Look at him!"

Defender Lopez asked midfielder Lopez to defend Tang Ye.

The defense line consists of three Lopez, it depends on how Villarreal is going to deal with it!
Sansone first made a few bicycle kicks into the penalty area, slightly putting pressure on the opponent's defense.

At this time, Sansone wanted to pass the ball back to Tang Ye behind him, but Tang Ye ran away directly.

Sansone:?

"You come, you come!"

Tang Ye ran towards the middle, and the position at the left baseline was given to Costa who came in from the wing.

The sudden change of position made the opposing defensive players a little overwhelmed, and this is when Villarreal began their operations.

Just do it according to Tang Ye’s brain calculations.

Because of the positioning of the defensive players, Sansone couldn't pass the ball directly to Tang Ye.

This is when Costa has to play his role.

Sansone passes to Costa first!
Costa passes the ball to Tang Ye again!
perfect!

Tang Ye passed the ball behind him, and when Reyes rushed up to grab the ball, Tang Ye's body suddenly stopped.

Reyes: ?
Tang Ye's sudden feint forced Reyes to stand still. At this time, Tang Ye kicked the ball to the right with his right foot.

Just hit it!

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

Proficiency: 0
The ball flew out and went straight into the goal.

However, the shot was a bit hasty, and Tang Ye's foot did not completely cover the ball.

The angle is average!
Just then, goalkeeper Lopez jumped out with all his strength.

Depend on!
Tang Ye covered his face, it seemed that he had no chance of scoring this goal.

Lopez's fingers touched Tang Ye's ball, and the ball flew directly to the outside.

duang!

Hit the post!
After the rebound, it went into the net!

"GGGGG-OOOOOO-LLLLLLL!!!!"

The ball went in!
"Ha ha!"

A sudden feeling of joy surged into his brain, and Tang Ye spread his arms and ran out with Bruno.

Bruno had said before that the birthday boy would definitely score a goal, and Tang Ye actually scored a goal.

"Bruno, you're right!"

Tang Ye shouted, then looked up at the big screen in the stadium after remembering something.

Damn it, the referee actually awarded his goal to Lopez!
This is Lopez's own goal!

"Haha, Tom!"

Bruno spread his hands to Tang Ye, who showed a helpless expression.

Real-time battle report from the Football Emperor: In the 34th minute, Tang Ye's shot caused an own goal by the goalkeeper, and Villarreal took the lead by one goal.

"Yellow Submarine!"

"Yellow Submarine!"

The cheers in the stands grew louder and louder.

The voice of the fans is the best reflection of a team's current momentum. Villarreal is about to win two consecutive games in the March league.

Fans are waiting for this!

Of course Tang Ye is also looking forward to it!

In addition to winning the game, Tang Ye has his own goal.

That is, like Bruno said, to score a goal in today's game.

Own goals don’t count!
The game continued, and after scoring a goal, Villarreal did not reduce their offensive.

This is because Tang Ye wants to score a goal, and Tang Ye's rhythm will directly affect the entire team.

Tang Ye wants to score a goal = Huang Qian wants to score a goal!

"Wow"

Escriva, feeling relaxed, nodded unconsciously.

Huang Qian is slowly adapting to Tom's...

Oh, Tom is slowly integrating into Villarreal's system.

This is a good thing.

This shows that the current Huang Qian is making progress!
The time came to the 42th minute of the first half.

Tang Ye took the initiative to retreat to the backcourt and took the ball from goalkeeper Asenho.

Turn around and run forward!

At present, Tang Ye’s speed is not even 75, but compared to when he played in the Eredivisie, he has become much stronger.

You can run a few steps with the ball, just don't be too pretentious!
Look up and observe.

Now Tang Ye has come to the center circle, where he is the strongest. Through continuous observation and image memory, Tang Ye can grasp the positions of all the players on the court.

This is when you need to use your brain to think.

If the ball is passed to Ale, what will happen next.

What would it be like if the ball was passed to Bakambu?

Of course, this is football, not Go, and Tang Ye only has a few seconds to think.

Jurado has come over to grab the ball, and Tang Ye must make a choice at this time!

Give it to Bruno who is running up from the right, then move to the left.

When Jurado ran to find Bruno, Tang Ye asked for the ball back.

Bruno passed the ball to Tang Ye!
Tang Ye, who had already caught the situation in the frontcourt, didn't even look up and passed the ball directly.

[De Bruyne standard long pass lv3: simulation]

Proficiency: 451/650
This is a standard behind-the-back pass, given to Bakambu!

Bakambu used his head to push the ball into the penalty area!

boom!
But unfortunately, Ale in the penalty area did not get the ball. Lopez, who had just scored an own goal, punched the ball out with both fists.

"Oh, what a pity."

Tang Ye shook his hands.

The ball didn't make the cut.

By the way, his proficiency in the growth template of [De Bruyne's standard long pass] is increasing very quickly.

If he made a long pass directly to the backcourt like he did just now, Tang Ye could directly get 6 points of proficiency in the [Standard Long Pass] template.

If it is an assist or a goal, it is 8 points of proficiency.

Even if the training is halved, there will still be 4 points of proficiency.

But when I think about it carefully, I was lazy in training and my movements were not standard when I was in the youth training. It is normal for me to improve my proficiency quickly after getting the growth template now.

so……

Well, it seems that he can upgrade [Standard Long Pass] to level 3 before the end of March?

The referee blew the whistle to end the first half of the game. Tang Ye walked towards the bench, patting the mud off his body.

It rained a little today, making the court a little wet.

It just so happened that Tang Ye was the kind of player who often rolled on the ground, so it was inevitable that some things would stick to his clothes.

“Actually, it’s almost there.”

Bruno ran over and put his hand on Tang Ye's shoulder.

"Just a little bit of what?"

"Goal, birthday goal"

Bruno patted Tang Ye on the back.

"Oh yes"

Tang Ye reacted.

The goalkeeper’s own goal in the first half doesn’t count, he still has a goal-scoring mission to complete today!

"It's okay, there's still time in the second half, I should have a chance"

"hurry up!"

Marty's voice came, and Tang Ye and Bruno ran together.

During the halftime, Escriva was explaining the key points of the upcoming game, while Tang Ye was hiding in the corner, carefully calculating his proficiency in the [Standard Long Pass] template.

Although Tang Ye is not very good at mathematics, calculation proficiency is not too difficult.

According to Tang Ye's very careful calculations, he will most likely be able to upgrade his [Standard Long Pass] to level 3 before March 20th.

His passing attribute has been stuck at 88 for a long time. This month is the best opportunity for a breakthrough!
The calculation result made Tang Ye, who was already full of passion, even more motivated. Just at this time, Escrivá wanted to lead the players to cheer.

"Mr. Phelan, let me shout."

Tang Ye took the initiative to stand up, and Escrivá certainly would not refuse: "Remember to shout louder!"

"no problem!"

"Come on Bruno! Sebastian, Rod, Marty, you come too."

All the Villarreal players and coaches in the locker room stretched out their hands and placed them in the middle.

After looking around and making sure that everyone was in place, Tang Ye put his hand on top.

Take a deep breath.

3, 2, 1!

“Vamos Villarreal!!!”

Cough!

After shouting with great effort, Tang Ye coughed twice, then came over and quickly caught up with his teammates.

“He’s getting more passionate.”

The players are all out, said Marty to Escrivá on the side.

Compared to when he first joined the team in August last year, Tang Ye has really changed a lot.

“This is the change he made for the team”

Escriva had a smile on his face.

"Yes, this time it's true. This is indeed the change Tom made for the team, not the change the team made for Tom."

Escriva's look made Marty want to laugh, but he finally held it back.

"Felan, there's actually no need for you to emphasize this..."

……

"Happy Birthday Tom!"

"Happy birthday!"

The fans on both sides of the stands stretched out their hands, and Tang Ye, who had just run out of the aisle, high-fived the fans one by one.

The birthday itself does not mean much to Tang Ye. The ages of 17 and 18 do not bring any substantial impact to him.

But Tang Ye still looks forward to his birthday, because every time this day comes he will receive blessings from his friends.

The teammates who support him and the fans who support him, um, and the coach, these are his friends.

So today is special and his friends are expecting him to score a goal on his birthday!
The second half of the game begins!

"..."

"When they are behind, the Spaniards need to take the initiative to increase the tempo. It won't work if they just follow their opponents' tempo. They need to take the initiative to look for opportunities."

"Yes, the visiting team now feels like they are trapped by Tang Ye's rhythm"

"..."

"Well, Marc Roca, this is a good choice. He got rid of Alai's pressure and brought the ball out."

"Give it to the Jurado in front first!"

There was a burst of "wow" from the stands, and the Spaniards found the long-awaited offensive opportunity.

"I'll come, I'll come!"

Tang Ye reacted quickly and made a flying tackle towards Jurado who was about to advance with the ball.

However, Tang Ye's intention of tackling was a bit too obvious, and Jurado made his pass in advance.

Depend on!
Tang Ye quickly got up from the ground and chased back.

Piatti passed the ball to Moreno in the penalty area. Moreno turned around and passed the ball to Melendo on the right, who made a cross from the bottom.

To Piatti!
boom!
After a push shot, Musacchio sat down on the ground in the penalty area, blocked the ball directly, and then cleared it with a kick.

"Pretty!"

Asenjo and Musacchio collide chest to chest!

"A perfect interception from Musacchio, Villarreal holds on to their advantage!"

Coach Flores angrily punched the sidelines.

Damn, we were so close to tying the score!
Musacchio's superb performance made the Spaniards a little uncomfortable.

But this also proves a point.

In fact, for the Spaniards, Villarreal is not completely invincible.

All they need is a chance.

A little, tiny chance.

Then it was 1:1.

"Felipe, Ruben, go up and warm up!"

"We're going to get this damn 1 point at the Love Song...oh, the Ceramic Stadium!"

In the 70th minute, Flores made his substitution.

The original 4231 was changed back to the more offensive 343!

'They shouldn't have done that'

Seeing the changes made by the Spaniards, Escriva, who was sitting in a chair, said softly.

"The three defenders can't handle Tom's long balls"

76 minutes!

"I'll come, I'll come!"

Tang Ye got the ball in his favorite position in the middle.

Give David Lopez a shake!
Tang Ye's attention was on Lopez's center of gravity. At the moment when Lopez's center of gravity changed, Tang Ye's rhythm changed again, and he started forward boldly.

"Pull it!"

the defender yelled out.

Given Tang Ye's passing ability, he must not be allowed to reach the top of the arc at this time!

Lopez stretched out his foot decisively, and Tang Ye jumped up instinctively.

But he still tripped.

"This was a tactical foul by the Spaniard in the backcourt. Lopez did not allow Tang Ye to continue to break through."

"Villarreal got a set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt"

"The ball is in a good position. If nothing goes wrong, it should be given to Tang Ye to kick it."

Pooh!
Tang Ye fell to the ground and ate half a mouthful of mud. After spitting it out, he looked at Lopez with a bad look.

There are three Lopez in the Espanyol team, and David Lopez is the most hateful one among them.

Tang Ye wants to use this set-piece opportunity to teach him a lesson!

Come to the referee, look at the white line drawn by the referee on the grass, and then look up at the opposite goal.

Tang Ye bent down and whispered to the referee Burgos: "Brother, can you move it forward a little? This position is not easy to handle."

“This is where the foul is.”

Burgos refused sharply.

"Here, where I fell, why don't you draw that place?"

Tang Ye pointed to the grass in front, where there were traces of Tang Ye's teeth gnawing on the grass.

"Beep!"

Burgos shows Tang Ye a yellow card.

"...Okay brother."

The fans in the live broadcast room didn't understand Spanish, but they could tell what had just happened through Tang Ye's gestures and eyes.

【Ha ha ha ha! 】

[Tang Ye should have said: Brother, can you draw a little further?]

[What a pity, the referee is not Tang Qiuwang’s friend, this is bad]

[Yellow card in birthday match! 】

[It feels like Tang Qiuwang is about to explode. He also scored a goal when he got a yellow card last time]

[Tang Qiuwang's free kick cross is okay, but if he shoots directly, I think it's better to use a thicker brush]

Tang Ye stood on the white line drawn by the referee, staring at the opposite goal.

Bruno pretended to pass by, but actually covered his mouth to show that he wanted to cover for Tang Ye.

"Villarreal's set-piece opportunity. This position is relatively close to the goal, so shooting directly is a good choice."

"However, Tang Ye's long-range shooting ability is slightly worse. It depends on what he chooses."
