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

Chapter 141 The secret of Tang Ye’s number, away game against Espanyol!

Because of being selected as candidates for the Golden Boy Award, the popularity of Rashford, Asensio, and Tang Ye has increased exponentially.

However, this popularity was soon overshadowed by the Ballon d'Or, because the 40-name list for the Ballon d'Or was released one day after the 1-name list for the Golden Boy Award.

When the battle between Messi and Ronaldo begins, all the so-called young geniuses will be overshadowed!

Of course, those who should pay attention to the Golden Boy Award will definitely keep their attention.

For example, Fernando Roig, the chairman of Villarreal!
When the Golden Boy Award list was announced, Roig was discussing the name change of the Love Song Stadium with the Villarreal City Government.

Deputy Mayor Jones, who was sitting across from him, reminded him.

"Fernando, the Golden Boy Award list is out!"

Roig waved his hand and said: "Jones, you know that many of the Golden Boy Award talents never made it to the final. Football is about the entire career. Having talent when you are young doesn't mean anything. When I was young, I almost played in La Liga, but I retired before I was 30."

"The Ballon d'Or has value, but the Golden Boy Award is nothing."

Jones showed his phone to Roig: "Are you sure you don't want to see it..."

“To be honest, there’s nothing to see.”

“Your players are here.”

"Come, show me"

Roig took the phone.

Golden Boy.

37th: Tang Ye (Villarreal, Utrecht)
"Holy shit!"

Roig suddenly stood up: "This is the Chinese kid, I know him!"

As the club chairman, all transfers worth more than 100 million euros require his signature.

Of course Roig remembered Tang Ye, this was the Eredivisie star that Escrivá insisted on having!
"Oh, those Italian journalists are finally fair for once"

Roig sat back in his chair: "You know, journalists always have biases against players when voting, but this time they did a really good job. It seems that the selection of the Golden Boy Award has not been controlled by capital like the Golden Ball Award."

Jones laughed.

Roig immediately said: "I remember that no Villarreal player has ever been on the Golden Boy Award list? This is a good opportunity, we can promote him"

Villarreal itself is a small city famous for ceramics and football, and football has a promoting effect on the city's economy.

This is also the reason why the municipal government strongly supports Villarreal, the only La Liga team in the city.

They can enhance the influence of the city of Villarreal!
"You can do that, but there is something I need to remind you."

Roig looked over and Jones said slowly: "He is your loan player"

I rely on?

Roeg handed the phone back to Jones.

He needs to talk to someone!
Let’s have a good talk with Escriva!

……

"So why is he a loan player, Ferran, tell me, why is he a loan player!"

Roig paced around the office on the second floor of the base.

Escriva stood there, not daring to say a word for a long time.

The online violence from fans has already put him under a lot of pressure, and now a club president has come along.

Escrivá was already being suffocated.

Think about Ten Hag, if it were Ten Hag... he would definitely have a solution, right?
"We pushed for Tom's transfer directly at the beginning. Utrecht's asking price was 1200 million euros, which we fully accepted."

Escribá and Roig recounted the circumstances of the transfer window.

"Then why is it leased in the end?"

Roig spoke in a loud voice because he was indeed very angry.

Good news: The team has a genius.

Bad news: someone else's genius!
Villarreal is now training with Utrecht!

When the 11-month loan period is over, Tang Ye will return to Utrecht with what he has learned in Villarreal!
"It was originally 1200 million euros, but that was the price we agreed on in April. When we went to them in June with 4 million euros, Utrecht suddenly changed their mind!"

Escriva touched his head and said: "Mr. Chairman, 2000 million euros is a bit too much for us, so we changed the plan to a 300 million euro loan for 11 months, which will end in June next year."

Oh?
Speaking of "2000 million euros", Roig, who has always been sensitive to numbers, suddenly recalled it.

Because of the high transfer fee of 2000 million euros, a senior club official stepped in to block the transfer.

As chairman, Roig will not punish the senior executive who blocks the transfer.

Because that person is himself!

"Okay, whatever!"

Roig threw his hands up and said, "I will send someone to the Netherlands after the Golden Boy winner is announced. You need to find a way to add a buyout clause to Tom's contract."

Roig didn't care about the team's tactical issues. He thought Tang Ye was worth training, so he had to find a way to get him from Utrecht.

Such an outstanding player must not stay in the Eredivisie!
"Mr. Chairman, why do we have to wait until the Golden Boy winner is announced before negotiating with Utrecht?"

Escrivá understood the reason, but Roig's choice of timing was indeed a bit strange.

"Tom is so popular right now, those Dutch guys will definitely ask for an exorbitant price."

Roig explained: "When the Golden Boy winner is announced, Tom's status will change from 'nominated' to 'not won', so the Dutch will not ask for too high a price."

Well!
Escriva raised an eyebrow.

Although his vision was a little poor when it came to the transfer, I have to say that Mr. Fernando is really smart!
"Ok, that's settled then."

Roig walked out of the office.

With the Madrigal Stadium being renamed soon, he now needs to deal with city government officials on a regular basis.

Just as Escribá was about to send Roig off, the guy suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, Ferran, doesn't La Liga stipulate that first-team players can only wear jerseys numbered 1 to 25? Why is Tom numbered 99?"

"He wore number 99 when he was in Utrecht"

Escriva said.

Of course this is only one of the reasons.

"He is not yet 19 years old, so we registered him with the Spanish Football Association as a youth team player, and registered him in both La Liga and La Liga. This way he can wear the No. 25 jersey in La Liga, and then we can have an extra spot for the first team. You know, we already have a lot of players, and we bought five more players in the summer transfer window."

Escriva chuckled.

"Other La Liga teams have a maximum of 25 first-team players, but we have 26 and Tom doesn't take up a spot"

Depend on!
Roig couldn't help but applaud.

300 million euros a year!
A talented midfielder with no weak foot!

The most important thing is, it comes with the team capacity +1 attribute!
Damn, why is there such a perfect rental!
……

Snapped!
[De Bruyne 45-degree cross level 3: simulation]

Proficiency: 92.5/100
After a cross was made, Tang Ye, who had completed the pass, lost his balance and fell to the ground. After getting up, he brushed the grass clippings off his clothes.

Prompted by the system voice, Tang Ye discovered that his 45-degree pass skill was about to be upgraded.

Once the upgrade is successful, this will be Tang Ye’s second level 4 skill.

Thinking of the ridiculously high success rate of level 4 arc pass, Tang Ye is now a little excited.

"Depend on!"

In the penalty area, Ale held his head and smiled bitterly.

What a pity, if he had been a little closer when Tang Ye passed the ball, he might have been able to catch the ball before Asenho.

Fortunately, this is an internal team training match and not a formal competition!

The time was almost up, and just as Asenho was about to kick off, Marty blew the whistle and the first-team players came from all directions to gather.

Speaking of which, Villarreal's training content today was a bit strange. Tang Ye, Haller, and Bruno were playing a competition, and Rodri was called away by Escribá to another training ground.

Now Marti has asked the players to gather, but Rodri and Escrivá are still chatting in the training ground next door.

Escriva kept talking and Rodri kept nodding.

Unfortunately, Tang Ye couldn't read lips, so he had no way of knowing what Escriva was saying.

"Hey, Ferran!"

Marty shouted, and Escriva reacted and quickly came over with Rodri.

"We are going to play against Espanyol tomorrow afternoon and we will leave by train at 9am. I need to first tell you about tomorrow's starting lineup."

Marty handed the notebook to Escrivá, who read out the names on the list one by one.

"Hey, Sergio!"

Curiosity drove Tang Ye to sneak up to Rodry and asked, "What did Mr. Feilan say to you? You have been practicing in Field 3 for almost an hour, right?"

Rodri lowered his head and whispered: "It's a matter of tactics. Ferran asked me to change my style of play."

It turned out to be like this...

Well, that's not interesting.

Tang Ye looked up at Escriva, and the Spanish coach just read his name at this time.

Next up is Rodri.

"Oh!"

Tang Ye patted Rodri on the shoulder: "Sergio, you are starting again!"

Rodri took a deep breath.

Tang Ye didn't know how much tactical sacrifice Rodri had to make for this starting position.

Of course Rodri was perfectly willing to do so.

As long as he can completely cover the position that Tang Ye lost in the game as Escribá said, he will get a stable starting opportunity.

At the age of 20, he has become a stable starting midfielder for a mid-to-upper-level La Liga team!
Rodri's heart was pounding.

This is his chance!

……

Football Emperor Match Preview: At 10:3 am on October 12rd, Beijing time, the 30th round of La Liga Espanyol vs. Villarreal, CCTV7 broadcast. At present, neither side has announced the starting lineup, but everyone knows that Tang Ye is likely to start.

Going to stay up late tomorrow night!

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

"The referee is already looking at his watch!"

"Okay, let the game begin! Now let me introduce the starting lineups of both teams, starting with the home team Espanyol!"

Espanyol (3-4-3)

Goalkeeper: Diego Lopez

Defenders: Diego Reyes, Javi Lopez, David Lopez

Midfielders: Marc Roca, Victor Sanchez, Fuego, Caicedo
Forwards: Morello, Perez, Reyes
Head coach: Flores
The Spanish team's classic show is here.

In today's game, the home team's starting lineup has 3 Lopez and 2 Reyes!

Because there were too many players with the same name on the opposite side, Escriva chose to call out numbers directly when emphasizing tactics before the game.

Because if he calls out the name, it would be difficult for the players to know which "Lopez" he is referring to.

Villarreal is now in control of the ball. Escribá is standing on the sidelines watching the players on the field intently, and of course the one he pays the most attention to is Tang Ye.

In the 4231 formation, Tang Ye's position will be relatively forward.

Not surprisingly, this guy always wants to move to the forward position!
Of course, Escriva has a strong learning ability. After learning his lesson last time, he will definitely not open his mouth this time!

In the 14th minute, Sansone retreated to the frontcourt to receive the ball, and Tang Ye made a long pass to Sansone's feet, and then started running forward.

coming!

Rodri, who was in a backward position, saw Tang Ye making a forward advance and rushed forward to occupy the position that Tang Ye had lost.

"Here here!"

Tang Ye stretched out his hand at the top of the arc, and it seemed that he was ready to shoot.

Sansone is watching!
Adjust it!
Fake move to shake off Sanchez!
After adjusting one step, pass the ball directly!
wow！

Sanchez passes the ball very quickly!

However, Tang Ye's attention was very focused, so it was no problem for him to stop the ball!
But soon problems arose for Tang Ye. He controlled the ball at his feet and just started to adjust when two Lopez in the penalty area rushed directly towards Tang Ye. Goalkeeper Lopez was also prepared.

Nima!

Tang Ye thought quickly on the spot.

Don’t be greedy for this ball!

Looking back, Rodri was just behind him, so Tang Ye quickly passed the ball safely.

To Rodri!
"Just give it inside!"

Tang Ye reminded.

The two central defenders in the opposing penalty area came out together to press him, so the penalty area is now relatively empty.

This is a chance to score a goal!

Rodri heard what Tang Ye said. Because the ball kicked by Tang Ye was not fast, Rodri did not stretch his foot to stop it.

A high ball into the penalty area!
Snapped!
Rush!

Tang Ye mustered up his courage and rushed into the penalty area pretending to be a striker.

This location is great!
Jump up!
Header!

Ok, I didn’t encounter it!
Tang Ye’s feet fell back to the ground after his header failed.

The home team fans in the stands breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became nervous again.

Tang Ye's header missed, but his action of rushing into the penalty area from the top of the arc attracted the attention of the Spanish defenders.

It was true that Tang Ye’s header missed the target, but Alai’s position was empty!

Snapped!
Ale stretched out his right foot and shot the ball into the goal steadily.

"GGG-OOOO-LLLLLL!!!"

"The ball is in!"

"Alai's goal, Tang Ye's feint was really beautiful, Lopez didn't notice Alai running past him on the right!"

"1:0, Villarreal takes the lead away from home!"

Awesome!
Tang Ye was about to raise his hand to apologize, but he didn't expect Ale to be so powerful and directly score the goal.

Although Tang Ye did not touch the ball, he was still involved in the attack.

After scoring the goal, Ale and Tang Ye rushed towards the right corner flagpole, celebrating while roaring.

[Tang Ye jumped up and tried to reach the ball with his head, but he couldn't find it! ]

【A glance at the football element upstairs】

[What football element? Isn't the one that smeared my Pig Man football urea? ]

[Mungo's offensive awareness is really good, but this header is indeed a bit abstract. Can he learn from Ronaldo?]

[What kind of header does a midfielder want? 】

[I am Tang Qiuwang, a striker and a swingman]

[Swingman? Pretending to be a forward! ]

[Awesome! Brothers, I think this game should be a sure win. The great King of Football, Tang, is about to take Villarreal to new heights! ]

"Villarreal!"

The visiting team fans in the stands cheered, but their voices were soon drowned out by the home team fans.

Tang Ye put on a brand new chewing gum and slowly looked for opportunities in the frontcourt.

I have to say that the 4231 formation is really comfortable for Tang Ye.

Good friend Rodri helped Tang Ye complete the advancement from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

Unfortunately, because of his forward position, Tang Ye had fewer opportunities to demonstrate his tackling skills.

29th minute!

"Here, here, come here!"

Tang Ye shouted twice on the right side, and then focused on Moreno in front of him.

This Moreno likes to show off very much. He didn't pass the ball when he had the chance, just wanting to compete with Tang Ye on the wing.

It just so happens that Tang Ye also likes to show off, so the two of them are bound to compete on the wing.

Moreno!
Cycling!
Then take a step forward!
Tang Ye retreated little by little!

Tang Ye is looking for an opportunity.

An opportunity that is enough to destroy Moreno's possession of the ball!
Ok, the opportunity has come!
Just stretch your feet!

"Wow!"

The fans screamed.

Just now, Moreno completed a one-on-one pass against Tang Ye on the wing!

"Hey……"

Escriva covers his face with his right hand.

This defensive technique is really bad...

After breaking through Tang Ye, Moreno dribbled the ball forward along the sidelines.

Snapped!
Through the ball to Caicedo in front!
The Spanish attack started!
Depend on!
Tang Ye felt a little uncomfortable and quickly returned to defense with Bakambu.

Now they are leading by 1 goal.

We must not give the opponent a chance to score at this time!
"Caicedo! Very fast!"

"Dribble the ball for a distance, there are two defensive players in front of you."

"Musacchio and Ruiz should be ready to continue, dos Santos is interfering from behind!"

Dos Santos was in a good position, ready to reach out and pull Caicedo down directly, using his yellow card to protect himself.

But after thinking about it, Dos Sandos finally chose to trust his teammates.

He did not choose to commit a tactical foul, but just pressured Caicedo from the side and blocked Caicedo's right foot!
Snapped!
The pass was given and Moreno on the left took the ball back.

By moving laterally, the Spaniard gave up the opportunity to rush directly into the penalty area.

Villarreal quickly returns to defense!
Moreno was very slow on the wing, and Tang Ye had already returned to defend.

Perez and Caicedo, choose one!
The choice of single defense needs to consider the player's position. According to the current position of the three people, the person Tang Ye needs to defend most is Caicedo.

However, Tang Ye chose Perez because Perez was a little thinner and looked easier to handle.

Go up and confront physically!

At this time, Moreno's cross finally came out.

Perez outside the penalty area suddenly accelerated!
He wants to grab some!
"Stop him!"

Tang Ye did not dare to delay and held Perez tightly with his body.

He now has the positional advantage!

Give me the ball!

coming!

Tang Ye kicked the ball to Musacchio, who kicked the ball to the front court.

Well!
so close!

Tang Ye had just let out a sigh of relief when Captain Bruno's voice came.

"Fight back, fight back!"
