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

Chapter 117: First clues revealed, Tom is actually a double-foot player?
Escribá successfully obtained the contact information of Manchester United coach Ten Hag through some of his connections in European football.

The Spaniard asked Ten Hag for Tang Ye's manual, but Ten Hag did not seem willing to share.

According to Ten Hag, Utrecht faced relegation difficulties last season, so he didn't care too much and directly moved Tang Ye to the starting position.

But Villarreal is different from Utrecht. The former is one of the traditional powerhouses in La Liga, and Escriva cannot imitate what Ten Hag did in Utrecht.

The call ultimately produced no results, and Escriva was a little disappointed.

It is no longer feasible to expect Ten Hag to share the secret designation.

How to use Tang Ye, Escriva still needs to figure it out by himself!
On August 8, the match between Villarreal and Sevilla officially started.

In this game, Tang Ye still played with the team as a substitute player, but Escrivá had already had a private chat with Tang Ye before the game.

He will give Tang Ye some opportunities in the second half, and whether he can seize them depends on Tang Ye himself!
Today is Villarreal's home game, and it is also Tang Ye's second time to come to the bench at the Love Song Stadium.

The last time Tang Ye sat here was the Champions League play-off match against Monaco, but Tang Ye did not play in that game.

At the start of the game, as the kick-off party, Villarreal's forwards put a lot of pressure on their opponents.

The impact of both Haller and Pato is very strong!
CCTV5.

"Bruno will look for Alai in front first!"

"We are currently in the second round of La Liga and Villarreal's tactics are similar to those of last season."

"Well, except for the first round when Tang Ye came on the field, Villarreal's tactics changed significantly after Tang Ye came on the field. I don't know if this was deliberately designed by coach Escriva."

"..."

"It was a mistake by Vazquez!"

"Soriano got the ball! Villarreal took advantage of Sevilla's mistake!"

"To Pato in front!"

"Pato passes the ball horizontally to Allais!"

"Alai, do you want to knock on the door yourself?"

"Alai chose to pass back to Bruno!"

"Push!"

“GGGGG—OOOOO—LLLLLL!!!”

"VAMOS!!!"

The player on the Villarreal bench suddenly jumped up.

In the 34th minute of the game, Villarreal, playing at home, scored the first goal!

Although several key players left the team in the summer window, Villarreal was still fourth in the La Liga last season.

Although it has become weaker this season, it is definitely not that weak!
"Yellow Submarine!"

"We all live in a yellow submarine!"

The home fans at the Love Song Stadium were very supportive. They sang the fan version of the team song, directly declaring the sovereignty of this game.

The opponent is strong, but Villarreal is trying to seize control of the rhythm!

The camera turned to Tang Ye on the bench.

Tang Ye is a little excited now.

It is definitely a good thing for him that the team is leading, because once the team is leading, coach Escribá will become bolder.

As long as Escrivá is brave enough, Tang Ye will have more opportunities!

In the 42nd minute of the game, Villarreal took a corner kick and defender Musacchio scored the goal steadily.

The score is 2:0!

Musacchio's goal success changed Escrivá's mentality.

The original plan was to substitute Tang Ye between the 55th and 60th minutes of the second half.

But now Villarreal is leading by 2 goals, which means Escrivá has the opportunity to do scientific research!
It’s a rare opportunity to do scientific research in the La Liga competition!

Escribá needs to take this opportunity to carefully study the cooperation between Tang Ye and the team!
After Musacchio scored, Tang Ye and Rodri appeared in front of the bench at the same time.

The eyes of Chinese fans are shining!
During the half-time break, Escriva began to make a series of tactical arrangements, with particular emphasis on penetrating attacks through the middle.

This is the team's strength!
He turned to Rodri and said, "Sergio, at the start of the second half, you go straight on and replace Roberto (Soriano)."

Rodri raised his hand.

It’s a bit exciting. After Tang Ye made his La Liga debut, Rodri’s debut is also coming!

After giving Rodri some instructions, Escrivá turned to Tang Ye and said, "You have to go too, with Sergio."

As he was talking, Escrivá suddenly realized something was wrong, so he slowly walked towards Tang Ye: "Tang, can you answer a question for me?"

"Mr. Phelan, you say..."

Tang Ye stamped his feet on the spot. The last few minutes of warm-up in the first half were indeed not enough for him.

Escrivá reached out and grabbed Tang Ye’s shorts pocket: “Huh? Why do your shorts have pockets?”

what?
After hearing what Escrivá said, the players in the locker room realized the problem with Tang Ye's shorts.

Generally speaking, player-version shorts don’t have pockets, but Tang Ye’s pants have pockets!
"Oh, this is a piece of the team's merchandise, casual shorts, not football shorts"

"Hugh, casual shorts?"

The coach was curious about his pants, and Tang Ye slowly explained: "Sometimes I need to put some gum in it, but the player version of the shorts has no pockets, and the fan version doesn't have pockets either, so I wear this."

"Chewing gum, huh?"

Escriva immediately responded: "If it's chewing gum, you can put it in the inside pocket, although it's a little inconvenient to take it out."

"I brought a lot, and the inner pocket can't hold it all."

"?"

埃斯克里瓦把手伸进唐业的裤子口袋，从里面摸出来1、2、3、4，一共4片口香糖。

"..."

"Okay, it's up to you."

It doesn't matter what pants you wear, as long as they look like the soccer shorts and have the team logo on them. The Spanish Football Association won't fine the team for such a small matter.

Escrivá took out a piece of gum from Tang Ye's pocket and put it in his mouth and started chewing: "Be careful when you go on the court later. Always pay attention to the running positions of your teammates. I don't just mean to watch, I mean you have to keep running. If you see your teammates running, you must run too. Can you do it?"

"Of course, Mr. Phelan!"

The second half of the game had just begun when Villarreal, who was leading by two goals, made two substitutions.

Tang Ye and Rodri came on as substitutes at the same time!

"Villarreal!"

"Villarreal!"

The home team fans cheered for the two rookies who had just come on.

Although Tang Ye is destructive to the team structure, as long as he can help the team win, he is great!

Swish swish!
Tang Ye rubbed his hands and then ran to his front midfielder position.

Villarreal plays 442, so Tang Ye's position will not be that forward.

This kind of backward attacking midfielder position is actually a bit uncomfortable for Tang Ye.

Because this means that Tang Ye needs to participate more in defense, and defense itself is Tang Ye's weak point.

In the 52nd minute, the pass between Tang Ye and Bruno was intercepted by Vitolo, which gave Sevilla an opportunity.

Sarabia's powerful shot did not open Villarreal's goal, but in the subsequent corner kick, N'Zonzi headed the ball into the goal, beating Musacchio and Gaspar.

The score is 2:1!

【Huang Qian lost the ball after Tang Ye came on the field. We solved the case, brothers! 】

[Nonsense, it was Bruno who didn't keep up with the pace, okay? Can you just criticize me, Mongo? ]

[The above identification is from Xiao Tangren, Tangren fans are crazy]

[You better turn off your private messages, you really don't take me, Tang Qiuwang's fans, seriously, right? ]

"We can tie it! We can tie it!"

Sevilla coach Sampaoli shouted loudly on the sidelines.

N'Zonzi's header gave him hope!
Although they conceded a goal, to be honest, the home team still had a big advantage on the field.

Even though Tang Ye was on the field, Villarreal's ball possession rate did not drop below 50%, which made Escriva a little happy.

He could feel that Tang Ye was gradually adapting to the team's system!
"If Villarreal wants to find opportunities, I suggest they go through the middle, because neither Allais nor Pato are wingers in the traditional sense, and their ability to dribble past opponents is limited."

Huang Jianxiang was analyzing the situation for the fans in the live broadcast room, and Villarreal found an opportunity the next second.

Tang Ye ran to the left side at some point and made a long pass with his left foot to find Pato who was at the bottom of the right side.

Pato took the ball down steadily! "Wowww!"

Tang Ye's precise pass made the fans in the stands burst into screams. After finishing the job, Tang Ye was not idle either. He cut in from the left and came to the top of the arc.

Ale noticed Tang Ye's position out of the corner of his eye. After Pato's cross came out, Ale kicked the ball to Tang Ye behind him.

Tang Ye took a step and shot directly with his left foot!

"Grass!"

Tang Ye held the back of his head with both hands, and the Sevilla goalkeeper blocked his shot!

"It's a pity. The Sevilla goalkeeper was in very good shape and he blocked Tang Ye's shot."

"Wait!"

Huang Jianxiang seemed to have discovered something was wrong.

Wait for the director to give the replay of the shot!

"Did Tang Ye just shoot with his left foot?"

"Hey, I watched the match between Villarreal and Granada in the last round. It seemed that Tang Ye also showed his left foot in that match?"

"Not only in the official matches, but also in the warm-up matches, there were some shots of Tang Ye's left foot."

Huang Jianxiang and Zhan Jun had a discussion in the live broadcast room, and finally the two looked at each other in the broadcast room.

"So Tang Ye actually has no weak foot?"

Players with no left foot are usually trained from a young age. Since Tang Ye does not have a left foot, why didn't Tang Ye pass the ball with his left foot during his time in Utrecht?

The question was not resolved, but the two commentators did not continue the discussion.

Villarreal's corner kick is taken by captain Bruno!

Corner kick taken!

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

Tang Ye shouted twice and volunteered to jump up.

Unfortunately, he didn't jump high enough and Tang Ye was directly pressed down by En Zongqi!

With a "bang", N'Zonzi, who was suppressing Tang Ye and Pato at the same time, cleared the ball.

Tang Ye felt a little uncomfortable.

Aren’t you a midfielder? Why are you nearly 2 meters tall!

"..."

Escriva was a little speechless when he looked at Tang Ye on the field.

Tang Ye is just a fool. He still wants to fight against others who are 20cm taller than him!

The problem is that he, a midfielder with no heading ability, actually wants to compete for a header in the penalty area!

【King of Football, come on, King of Football! 】

【Villarreal! 】

Tang Ye was jogging on the field following his teammates' positions and glanced at the scoreboard held by the fourth official.

79 minutes.

There are still 11 minutes left in the regular time, and Tang Ye is under a lot of pressure now.

By now he had pretty much understood how Escriva positioned him.

He is destructive to the team, so it is difficult for him to get a starting position.

For Tang Ye, who has been a starter in Utrecht for more than half a season, the feeling of suddenly being relegated to the bench is very uncomfortable.

He needs to take the initiative to seize opportunities.

The best way to seize opportunities is data.

He needs a game's worth of data to lead Escribá to put himself in the starting lineup.

Goals, assists, even the number of chances created and the number of successful defenses, these are what Tang Ye needs to pursue!
Find an opportunity!
Because it is only the second half, Tang Ye will run more actively.

When Vasquez dribbled the ball in the middle, Tang Ye's attention was immediately drawn to him.

Sneak over and see if there's any chance...

"There's someone behind you!"

Sevilla players reacted quickly and alerted Vasquez immediately.

Vasquez turned around and Tang Ye looked at him somewhat awkwardly.

Then... suddenly accelerated!
Rush!

Although he was discovered, Tang Ye was not afraid at all and rushed towards the location where Vasquez was.

?

Vasquez was obviously shocked by Tang Ye's actions.

You know what, this method of pressing really works!
Snapped!
Vazquez passed the ball in a hurry, but the pass was not very accurate. Before Hiroshi Seitake could get the ball, Musacchio got there first.

"Pretty!"

"Tang Ye's active defense helped Villarreal create a good counterattack opportunity"

"Let's see how Villarreal is going to take advantage of this opportunity..."

"Kiyoo Hiroshi wants to steal the ball! Musacchio, hit the ball out first!"

"Give the ball to Tang Ye!"

"Although everyone knows that Tang Ye is not fast, I think this is an opportunity to dribble forward. Tang Ye, who has joined a new club, needs some opportunities in front of the coach. It all depends on Tang..."

"It was transmitted directly!"

"Tang Ye made a long low pass from the backcourt!"

Rodri, who was preparing to receive the ball from Tang Ye, saw Tang Ye pass the ball directly and stood there in a daze without saying a word.

He remembered that he seemed to have seen this kind of ball during training?
correct!

This is Tang Ye’s weird slow-down pass!

The ball passed between Sevilla's two central defenders, hit the grass and suddenly turned to the left.

"No way..."

Escrivá from the bench stood up.

Ale holds the ball!

Speed ​​up and move into the restricted area!

Pass horizontally!

Send full-back Victor Ruiz to the right side!
Ruiz shoots directly!
"GGOOLLLL!!!"

“Hooa ...

It is always exciting when defenders score goals because they don't have many shooting opportunities themselves.

After scoring the goal, Ruiz ran towards the stands at a very fast speed.

3, 2, 1!

Roar!
"VAMOS VILLARREAL!"

Bang bang bang!

"Villarreal!"

Boom!

"Villarreal!"

Boom!

The score was 3:1, and the atmosphere at the Love Song Stadium was completely ignited.

As the leader of this counterattack, Tang Ye did not get any assists.

But this is not a sad thing.

Tang Ye heard his name amid the fans' enthusiastic cheers!

He was sure that there were fans in the stands shouting his name!

This is recognition from Villarreal fans!
Walking slowly along the edge of the field, Tang Ye heard the fans calling him again.

"TOM, which side is your dominant foot?"
