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

Chapter 146 The current ball possession rate is 45!

In the midfield, the atmosphere in the Villarreal locker room is very tense.

Even Tang Ye, who often chatted with others in the locker room, remained silent.

The reason is simple, Villarreal must find new tactics.

A tactic that is enough to reverse the game and defeat Ajax!

crunch--

Escribá pulled the tactical board to the middle and the players immediately raised their heads.

"You should be able to feel that our opponents' pressing intensity is very high, which will cause us to make mistakes easily"

"Whether it's the midfield, backcourt, or frontcourt, it's the same. No matter how good we are at controlling the ball, we are prone to mistakes when we are pressed. There's nothing we can do about it. So what should we do?"

dong dong!

With two quick taps on the tactical board, Escriva explained: "When the backcourt players are pressed, our midfielders should actively withdraw from the wing to complete the support of the defenders."

"What if the striker is pressed?"

Tang Ye looked at Escrivá, and the two of them stared at each other: "The full-back going down the flank is a way of receiving the ball, but I still prefer to let the midfielder receive the ball."

"Well……"

Tang Ye's expression suddenly became serious.

It seems that he has a heavy task in the second half!
Retreating to support the defender and moving forward to support the forward, these are what Tang Ye needs to do.

Sitting on the stool and re-adjusting his shoelaces, Tang Ye was ready!

Seeing Tang Ye like this, Rodri couldn't help but become nervous.

Brother, you are not going to turn into a striker again, are you?

"Tom!"

After Escriva finished speaking, Bruno took the initiative to sit next to Tang Ye: "Can you still run?"

Ok……

Tang Ye narrowed his eyes and placed his hands on his thighs and calves, feeling them carefully.

"Tom, what are you doing?"

Tang Ye opened his eyes suddenly, scaring Bruno so much that he took a step back.

"I felt it and it should be able to run a long distance"

Bruno was also prepared to take the initiative to help Tang Ye bear some of the pressure on the offensive end, but since Tang Ye was so confident, Bruno stopped talking.

When it comes to attacking, Tang Ye is definitely better than Bruno!

……

"De ploeg de dapp're meersche helden～ (Brave and fearless heroes)"

"I'm proud of you!"

"Alom gevreesd in heel den land!" (The land trembles because of you)

"..."

As soon as Tang Ye walked out of the player tunnel in the second half, the Ajax team song immediately reached his ears.

The home team fans, who are in the lead, are constantly putting pressure on the visiting team players.

Not only do they want to maintain their current one-goal advantage, but they also want to continue to expand the score!

There is still 1 goal in the second half!
No, not just 1 goal, there should be 2 more goals in the second half!
Ajax needs to use a score of 3:0 to perfectly end this revenge battle against Villarreal's No. 99!

Tang Ye didn't say anything. He took out a piece of chewing gum from his pocket and put it in his mouth. Then he clapped his hands and stepped into the competition venue.

The team songs sung by the fans hardly affect Tang Ye.

But it can affect Escriva very easily!

The camera turned to Escribá, and the Villarreal coach was now standing motionless on the sidelines.

The game is on!

【Come on, Huang Qian! 】

[King of Football, don't let Ajax succeed in revenge]

[Someone rush to the field and kick the three forwards of Villarreal a few times. Don’t waste the great pass of the King of Football]

"Ajax!"

Boom!

"Ajax!"

Boom!

The game reached the 52th minute.

At present, Villarreal is still leading in ball possession, and by a considerable margin.

But there was no chance to attack.

On the other hand, Ajax!

Snapped!
Ziyech made a straight pass with the instep of his foot from the wing and found Younis at the bottom line. Younis caught the ball before Gonzalez and then approached Villarreal's penalty area little by little.

It was a familiar feeling, and Escriva immediately signaled the team to retreat to the defense line.

Younis slowly approached the edge of the penalty area and made a few feints, but of course Ruiz couldn't be fooled.

Villarreal’s defenders were very strong, so Younis chose to pass back!
The ball was passed back to Ziyech who came over to receive the ball, then he passed it to Schone who then passed it to the right side.

After Traore got the ball, he continued to press Villarreal's defense.

This was the main theme in the first few minutes of the second half. Ajax kept looking for opportunities on the wing, while Villarreal's defenders ran back and forth, struggling to defend.

"Left, left! Help! Go up and help!"

Escriva yelled very hard.

It lasted until about 55 minutes and the score was still 1:0.

This game really depends on Musacchio and Ruiz. If it weren't for them, Villarreal's goal might have been penetrated by now.

Depend on!
Escrivá raged in impotence on the sidelines.

As the head coach, how could he not see that Villarreal's tactics had been completely restricted by Ajax.

Bosch is the real thing!

boom!
Escriva gritted his teeth.

Think about it!
Just think about how Utrecht beat Ajax last season!
Escribá sat back on the bench and asked Marty to use his notebook to find the statistics and video of Utrecht's away game against Ajax last season.

Marti was responsible for studying the data, while Escrivá was responsible for studying Ten Hag.

"Pull the progress"

Escriva urged, and Marty operated the red dot to drag the progress bar.

"Faster, keep pulling, keep jumping, yes, yes, yes"

Escrivá watched the entire game quickly in less than half a minute.

According to Escrivá's estimate, Ten Hag spent about 75-80 minutes of the game sitting.

In other words, he didn't make any tactical adjustments at all?
Looking at the Villarreal players who were defending hard on the field, Escriva became ruthless.

Previous experience has made it very clear that no matter how hard we try now, we will probably fall behind. In this case, we might as well take a rest on the sidelines and study Utrecht's tactics.

On the court, Tang Ye kept looking around, and he soon noticed Escriva disappearing near the sideline.

Oh?
Does this mean it's his turn to perform?

"come here!"

Tang Ye ran to the gap.

boom!
Musacchio bypassed Rodri and made a long pass directly to Tang Ye.

There’s the ball!
Having finally gotten the ball, Tang Ye excitedly turned around and moved forward.

Once in the right position, he passed the ball directly into the defender's head.

Lost the ball!

"Depend on!"

Escriva looked nervous, but he finally chose not to stand up.

Just to the left of Escrivá, assistant coach Marty was constantly crunching data.

Marty got the data of the match between Utrecht and Ajax, and then took out the data of today's match and made a linear statistical chart.

It can be seen that except for the frequency of attack, Villarreal's data is far better than Utrecht.

Among them, the green line representing ball possession is the most prominent.

Utrecht has been hovering around 42%, but Villarreal sometimes even exceeds 60%.

But there is also bad news. After Escriva sat back in his chair, the green line representing the team's ball possession rate was slowly decreasing.

And the yellow line representing the number of attacks is slowly rising?

The decrease in ball possession suggests that the defense may be unstable, but the number of attacks is indeed increasing.

Escrivá didn't know whether this was good or bad.

Ball possession rate: 56%.

Ball possession rate: 53%.

Ball possession rate: 49%.

!!!

Take a deep breath. By the 62nd minute of the game, Villarreal’s ball possession rate in the second half was less than 50%!
Isn't this falling too fast?

Turn your head to look at the situation on the field, then turn your head back.

Ball possession rate: 48%.

Escrivá: ...

In the 68th minute of the game, Dolberg tried to dribble past the opponent on the Villarreal wing, but he was quickly blocked by Rodri and Sansone and was forced to give up the ball.

perfect!

Tang Ye guessed that this defense would be successful, so he came to the left side and waited.

Reach out for the ball!

Rodri spotted Tang Ye at the first moment and kicked the ball directly to him.

"Wow!"

Snapped!
Tang Ye stopped the ball with his chest, and then used his feet to deal with it after it landed.

Go forward!

Move forward quickly!

"here!"

Pato ran towards Tang Ye, Tang Ye passed the ball to him, and started to move down the field without the ball.

Two over one!

Huang Qian made a two-pass combination on the left side.

After making sure that Tang Ye was safe, Pato passed the ball through.

Tang Ye gets the ball!

spray!
[De Bruyne's cross from the bottom level 2: Similar] Proficiency: 89/200
The bottom cross is only level 2, but it doesn’t matter.

The most important thing in this situation is not how accurate the pass is, but the timing of the pass!

The ball rushed into Ajax's penalty area, Sanchez stretched out his foot to clear it, but missed.

There is another De Ligt behind!
De Ligt encountered it!
but……

De Ligt only touched the ball with his toes and he couldn't kick the ball to the left or right.

There was a soft "bang" sound, and De Ligt poked the ball into the goal.

The ball went in!
This is De Ligt's own goal!
"VAMOS!"

Pato reacted very quickly and rushed towards Tang Ye the moment the ball entered the net.

[You get counterattack points*10]

[Assist the opponent to score a goal. The 38-year-old player is insidious and cunning. You get an extra counterattack point*10]

"Well!"

Tang Ye realized it later and smiled, then ran out of the field at an accelerated speed.

"The ball is in!"

“Equalize the score!!”

"Tang Ye's cross from the bottom line helped Villarreal equalize the score!"

"1:1! Ajax lost their advantage!"

VAMOS!

Escrivá jumped up from his chair, he was so excited!
"Hey, Ferran!"

Marty reached for Escriva, and the Spanish coach returned to his seat: "What's wrong?"

"Look at this!"

Marty pointed at his notebook, and Escriva squinted at it. After about three seconds, his eyes suddenly widened.

Villarreal's possession curve and Utrecht's possession curve overlapped in the 69th minute!

Ball Possession: 45%
"..."

Escriva turned to look at Marty, who blinked: "Fei, Feilan, what should we do..."

Adjusting his mentality, Escrivá folded his hands across his chest.

Before the game, he and Matti had been studying Ajax's games last season, with a focus on the two games against Utrecht.

But nothing was discovered.

Now Escriva finally understood.

The focus of the match between Utrecht and Ajax was not the players on the field.

It was Erik ten Hag who was sitting on the bench.

Although he couldn't understand Utrecht's tactics, Escrivá could understand Ten Hag's mentality.

The more we resisted in today's game, the more difficult it became.

Then just...

No more resistance!

He picked up a bottle of mineral water beside him, gulped down a few gulps, and then continued to sit on the chair with his hands on his chest.

Pretending to be very calm is not the core of tactics, but it is definitely an indispensable part of tactics.

The game continues!

"You can pass it over there!"

Tang Ye pointed to the left, Rodri turned around and saw Sansone retreating to receive the ball, so he quickly passed the ball.

At the same time, Tang Ye and Bruno ran forward together.

It's true that the score is tied now, but the Villarreal players definitely want to aim for a higher score.

Sansone took the ball and turned around, aiming at Tang Ye who was advancing in the middle.

Snapped!
Pass the ball!
See how Tang Ye handles it!

Tang Yesian looked up and observed.

After a quick look, he realized there were no chances in the penalty area and deliberately kicked away.

"You come!"

?

Bruno quickly moved sideways to control the ball, while Tang Ye ran past him and rushed directly to the right.

It’s a very strange movement, but considering that this is Tang Ye, it is normal.

This is Villarreal's offensive opportunity!
"xuuu!!!"

The home team fans booed and tried to disturb Bruno, but Bruno was very calm and he did not rush to pass the ball.

Tang Ye wandered around the baseline and ran towards Bruno after failing to find a chance to get into the penalty area.

"Give me the ball!"

Hearing Tang Ye's voice, Bruno kicked the ball to the ground and then ran to the right where Tang Ye was originally.

Tang Ye and Bruno exchanged positions!
Before De Ligt could react to who had the ball, Tang Ye kicked the ball directly into the penalty area with his left foot.

By the time De Ligt reacted, the ball had already rolled past him.

"Woww!!"

Just next to Davinson Sanchez, Pato rushed up and pushed the ball.

duang!

The ball hit the right post, bounced out and went into the net.

"GOOOO-AAAAAA-LLLL!"

The Johan Cruyff Arena was silent.

The home team fans couldn't accept this fact!
Pato rushed to the corner flagpole immediately, and Tang Ye raised his hands: "Wuhu!"

[You get counterattack points*10]

[Assist to score twice, you get an extra counterattack point*10]

"Come together!"

Bruno patted Tang Ye's head, signaling Tang Ye to come to the left and enjoy the joy of scoring the goal.

2: 1!

They took the lead!
"I'm coming!"

Tang Ye ran past Bruno at a faster speed, and then slid to his knees!
Swish swish!
Jump up and punch!
"Villarreal!"

"Villarreal!"

The few away fans finally made their voices heard at this time.

I don’t know why we were under pressure in the first half, but now the situation has changed.

Ajax is the lagging side!
The director understood the program effects very well, and at this time he directed the camera to the benches on both sides.

Bosch stood on the sidelines and kept shouting at the players.

Escriva sat in the chair with a relaxed look on his face.

For some reason, after Tang Ye assisted Pato to score, Escribá reached out and touched his head.

[What did I say! Haha, King of Football, just sanction Ajax! ]

[This time, it was Tang Ye who saved Ai Sheng. If it wasn’t for Tang Ye, Ai Sheng would have been scolded after the game.]

[Ajax is really strong, but I think Villarreal was more powerful in the second half. Their attack was so fucking smooth! ]

The game continued, and Ajax, who had fallen behind, quickly launched a counterattack against Villarreal under the command of coach Bosz.

In the 80th minute, the live broadcast room showed the ball possession rate of both teams in the second half of the game.

Villarreal: 40%
Ajax: 60%
Fans who don’t understand football thought that Villarreal was not in good form, which was why they lagged behind their opponents in something they were good at, such as ball control.

Fans who understand football have already smelled a familiar scent!

Isn’t this some Dutch specialty?

The game is in the 84st minute!

"Let's go!"

After an interception in the middle, Schone quickly moved forward with the ball.

Ajax maintained their status as a strong team in the Eredivisie, and the players cooperated well even when they were behind.

Tang Ye concentrated his attention and ran into the house.

Tang Ye is in a very good position, he is looking for an opportunity to make a tackle!

Shovel directly!
boom!
It was a very clean tackle, but unfortunately, Klasen seemed to have anticipated it, and the ball hit by Tang Ye rolled right to Klasen's feet.

The ball was kicked out, but the opponent's attack was not completely suppressed!

But don’t panic, Tang Ye’s teammates have already found an opportunity!

Cheryshev, who had just come on the court less than 10 minutes ago, was defending Klaassen alone, and Sansone was running back!
Klaassen passed the ball to the middle!
Rodri rushed up and made a direct steal!

Well!
Seeing that his teammate had the ball, Tang Ye quickly got up from the ground and ran quickly towards the frontcourt.

"Whoop whoosh!"

A little tired!

Pooh!
Spit out the gum in your mouth and run to the front court at full speed.

boom!
Rodri made an accurate pass with the instep of his foot to Pato who was standing in the front. Pato ran almost 10 meters with the ball, and was finally intercepted by the Ajax central defender.

"here!"

Tang Ye pointed to an open space in front of him, and Pato quickly kicked the ball over.

Have the opportunity!
Swing your right leg out!
Snapped!
[De Bruyne's long-angle shot level 3: simulation]

Proficiency: 155/200
duang!

The ball hit the junction of the crossbar and the post, bounced out and landed at De Ligt's feet, who cleared the ball with a big kick.

I rely on!

Tang Ye held the back of his head with both hands.

It was just a little bit away from scoring!
“Beep, beep, beep—!!!”

Just as De Ligt cleared the ball, the game was over.

hiss--

Hands on hips.

Tang Ye is feeling a little uncomfortable now.

If his long-corner shot was level 4, he would have scored when he took the ball just now!
What a pity!
"Tom!"

Bruno and Rodri ran towards Tang Ye at the same time. Seeing the smiles on his teammates' faces, Tang Ye suddenly felt better and raised his hands to celebrate.

"VAMOS!"
