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

Chapter 112: First start, Tang Ye’s left-footed free kick?
In the stadium locker room, Escrivá emphasized some things about today's game.

The key is nothing more than playing according to tactics. Today's opponent, like Villarreal, is from the La Liga, and the two sides are already old rivals.

Escriva told the players that he had contacted the Leganes coach before the game and that both sides would give their best in today's match.

This is a non-important pre-match training!
"Come!"

Escrivá pulled Tang Ye up from the stool, and the latter was still a little dazed.

Before the end of the last game, Escribá specifically talked to him about the issues of on-field discipline, but he was unexpectedly allowed to start directly today.

"Tang, are you under a lot of pressure right now?"

Escriva smiled and looked at Tang Ye, who just stood there with his shoelaces still untied: "Huh? Why didn't you tie your shoelaces?"

Tang Ye pointed to the timer hanging at the door of the locker room: "There are still 5 minutes before entering, you are not in a hurry, right?"

"You don't look stressed?"

Escrivá looked Tang Ye up and down.

Tang Ye now doesn't look like a 17-year-old player at all.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say that he is a 37-year-old superstar who has experienced all major competitions?
Hearing what the coach said, Tang Ye squatted down, tied his shoelaces, and then stood up again: "Mr. Feilan, I am under a lot of pressure now."

"...Okay, okay, get ready to play, get ready to play"

……

"The game has begun. Today Villarreal's opponent is Leganes, a team that is considered rubbish in La Liga. But since it is a La Liga team, no matter how rubbish it is, it can't be any worse."

"Many people doubt whether I, Tang Qiuwang, can play in La Liga. After today's game, you will know whether Tang Qiuwang can play in La Liga."

Tang Ye has too many black fans. As Tang Ye’s most loyal fan, the young anchor Wang Chao must stand up and speak for his idol at this time.

Winning Porto with 1 goal and 1 assist cannot prove that Tang Ye has the ability to play in La Liga, but today's game between two La Liga teams can at least explain something, right?
boom!
boom!
The sound of feet hitting the ball could be heard continuously on the field as the two teams from La Liga demonstrated their excellent passing and controlling skills.

Tang Ye cooperated with great effort.

Although he is not very useful in this passing and controlling system, if he observes and moves carefully, Tang Ye can actually keep up with the rhythm.

In the 20th minute, Villarreal was leading their opponents with 62% ball possession.

"Okay! That's it!"

Escrivá gave a thumbs-up sign towards the pitch.

Judging from the team's current form, it should not be a problem for them to maintain their place in the top 6 of the league this season!

As for whether they can overtake Atletico Madrid and come third, that depends on a bit of luck!
The passing and controlling of the ball was very stable, and because both sides were familiar with each other, the defense was also very stable.

In the 30th minute, the score was still 0:0.

At this time, someone needs to step up and break this balance.

And the person who stood up was Leganes striker Guerrero.

"Guerrero, come to the right baseline"

"Just shoot at the door!!"

"The ball is in!"

"Damn, the home team is leading by one goal!"

Wang Chao held his head with both hands.

It turned out that Leganes, who were at a disadvantage in the game, took the lead?
What's happening here?
The director gave a slow-motion replay.

In fact, it was not because Guerrero played so well, but because of a fatal pass error by Villarreal defender Alvaro Gonzalez.

He passed the ball directly to Guerrero's feet!

"it's okay no problem!"

Team captain Bruno comforted the players.

Escriva's expression was not very good. This kind of mistake can be accepted in a warm-up match, but if it is a formal La Liga match, Villarreal is likely to be in trouble because of Gonzalez.
One mistake directly resulted in the loss of 3 points!
It was a bit uncomfortable to fall behind, so Escrivá quickly instructed the players to adjust the rhythm of the game.

At the end of the first half, Villarreal was temporarily one goal behind.

"Focus, you need to focus!"

In the locker room, coach Escrivá was in a bad mood: "Our opponents are obviously at a disadvantage, but they can seize our opportunities. Why? Because they are very focused. You have to figure out your positioning. We are a professional team, a professional team! We can't be distracted!"

Tang Ye sat next to Alai, chewing gum without saying a word.

From Tang Ye's perspective, he had a really uncomfortable time playing in the first half.

Not only was the team behind in the score, but I was also extremely tired from playing.

He is kind of regretting it now!
If I had known earlier, I would have practiced in the Eredivisie for a few more seasons before coming to La Liga!
At the start of the second half, both teams did not make large-scale substitutions in accordance with the agreement made by the head coaches before the game.

Escribá substituted Haller on as center forward, which was an adjustment made by the Spanish coach based on the situation of the game.

They say that we should treat this warm-up match as a formal league match, so we have to give it our all!
"Tom!"

Ale, who had just come on the court, ran up and handed Tang Ye a note.

Um? ? ? ?

Escriva was completely stunned.

Remember he didn't give Alai the note!
Tang Ye opened the note and saw the words "Pass the ball to me" written in Dutch by Ale.

Tang Ye immediately realized that it was written by Alai himself.

Haller wants me to pass the ball to him like I did in Utrecht!
ok!

Tang Ye gave a thumbs up.

He really doesn't want to play this passing and controlling game anymore!

"Villac has replaced Arai, damn, I feel like the visiting team is about to take off"

"The Dutch top scorer and assists leader are on the field at the same time, let's see how Villarreal is going to operate"

"Here it comes! Just like in the last warm-up match, Huang Qian suddenly gave up passing and controlling the ball!"

"The style of play is becoming more aggressive and the ball possession rate is decreasing!"

"..."

"Tang Ye, pass it directly to the penalty area, 45-degree cross!"

"Alai, header!"

"Do you have!"

"Fuck, it's almost there!"

Alai's header hit the post and flew out.

pity!

What a pity!
Villarreal failed to take advantage of their best chance of the game so far!

"Damn!" After watching for a few minutes, Escriva noticed that the overall tone of the team had changed, and his mentality was about to explode.

Tang Ye’s style on the field is completely in conflict with Villarreal and the La Liga!

"Damn it!"

Escrivá threw his hands up and then sat back in his chair on the bench.

He wanted to replace Tang Ye, but there were no available players on the bench.

On the field, in the 72nd minute, Villarreal got a free-kick opportunity on the left.

Captain Bruno was about to take the free kick, and at this moment, Tang Ye walked over.

"We can play this ball together. Can you help me with the screen?"

"no problem"

Bruno knew that Tang Ye had the ability to pass the ball from a set piece, so he agreed readily.

It just so happened that he was a left-footed general and could stand separately from Tang Ye.

But Tang Ye was very strange, he stood behind Bruno.

After getting the Zhou Botong template, Tang Ye has been using it for dribbling and using the outside of his foot, and has not tried set pieces with his left foot yet!

He wants to try it!
Looking at Tang Ye behind him, Bruno thought that this little guy had some special running trajectory that could ensure he hit the ball with his right foot, so he didn't ask any more questions.

"Villarreal's set-piece opportunity, captain Bruno and Tang Ye stand separately, one in front and one behind!"

Beep!
The referee blew the whistle and Bruno ran out first!

Drop the ball!

Tang Ye!

Run up from behind and kick directly with the left foot!
Escrivá:?

This is the [Ward-Prowse free kick template], a standard topspin cross!
However, it was slightly different from how Tang Ye played before.

This time he kicked with his left foot!
The ball passed over the defender in the penalty area and landed accurately on top of Ale's head.

Very good location!

Push it up directly!
"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"Alai's goal!"

"Damn, King Tang, the free kick assist, perfect!"

Wang Chao shouted excitedly, and the director gave a replay.

The on-site director obviously watches football frequently, and he deliberately focused on Tang Ye when he touched the ball.

Tang Ye hit the ball with his left foot.

"Hmm? Is this a mirror image?"

"No, what the hell, what's going on?"

Wang Chao squinted his eyes and put his head close to the computer.

At first glance, they appear to be mirror images.

But at second glance it doesn't seem to be a mirror image?

[Isn’t my Tang the King of Football a right-footed player? What’s the situation with a left-footed free kick?]

[Obviously the director turned on the mirror. I don’t know why he did that, but the pass was really accurate]

[Did Tang Ye also pass the ball with his left foot in the last game? The outside of his foot was his left foot?]

[Is it also a mirror image? ]

[It's a mirror image of an egg. The ball was passed from the right side to the middle. The arc was obviously kicked out by the outside of the left foot. Didn't you watch the video? ]

[I, Tang the Football King, also specially practiced the outside of my left foot and set pieces, right? That’s fine, this is very self-disciplined]

"What the hell, is this true? Is it the left foot? That's not right."

Wang Chao had a heated exchange with the fans in the live broadcast room for a long time, but finally accepted the fact.

That means Tang Ye did indeed kick the free kick with his left foot!

For the left foot, except for the difference in the arc, the landing point, ball speed, and rotation are extremely similar.

If Wang Chao hadn't watched Tang Ye's games frequently, he would have almost mistakenly thought that Tang Ye's left and right feet were 50-50.

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye stood in place and twisted his waist a few times.

Not to mention, it's really comfortable to use Zhou Botong's dual-strike technique.

Although he used his left foot, Tang Ye didn't feel that he was kicking the ball with his non-dominant foot!
Wait?

Tang Ye suddenly discovered a very serious problem.

He looked down at his feet.

Which side is left?

On the bench, coach Escriva turned and looked at assistant coach Marty beside him.

He asked a very serious question, which is which is Tang Ye's dominant foot?
"It's the right foot!"

Marty answered quickly.

"Are you sure? Why does a right-footed player use his left foot to kick a set-piece? He also used his left foot to kick the cross in the last game. Do you remember?"

"Fei Lan, you're making me lose confidence..."

Marty scratched his head, used his mobile phone to check the information he registered for Tang Ye, and finally gave an answer.

“It’s definitely my right foot.”

"This……"

Escrivá stared at him. “So he’s right-footed, but can play set-pieces with his left foot, and can also play passes with the outside of his left foot?”

As he spoke, the corners of Escrivá's mouth began to rise slowly: "We, we rented a midfielder with no weak foot for 300 million euros?"

"By the way, does he have a buyout clause?"

Escriva leaned his head towards Marty, who checked on his phone.

"There is no buyout clause, Ferran. You were present when the contract was signed. Utrecht was unwilling to set up a buyout clause."

Escrivá suddenly stopped smiling.
