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

Chapter 15 Ten Hag's Teachings
"Um……"

Ten Hag was a little embarrassed. Tang Ye said he wanted to show him the real training video, but he waved his hand to refuse.

"Tang, come on, listen to me!"

Ten Hag looked into Tang Ye's eyes and said, "You are only 16 years old now, which is the age you should strive for. You have big flaws, from football skills to physical skills, you need to spend time training."

"Night time is a good time. You can use it to improve your ball sense or train your confrontation skills."

Ten Hag suddenly realized something was wrong, so he added: "Well, it's not that kind of confrontation, it's that kind of confrontation, do you know what kind of confrontation I'm talking about?"

"I know, I know"

Tang Ye said quickly.

"Well, you have to remember that 16 years old is the most critical time to determine a player's future. If you don't work hard now, what will you do in the future?"

"Play in Europe until you are 20, then return to China, play for a few more years, and retire in the Chinese league in your 30s?"

"Are you willing to accept this?"

"Tang, you need to work harder!"

As Tang Ye's coach, Ten Hag needs to take the responsibility of encouraging Tang Ye to train hard.

But Tang Ye is not a super genius after all, and Ten Hag cannot really pin his hopes for the team's revival on him.

After a brief chat, Ten Hag left the dormitory.

……

The time came to August 8th, the fourth round of the Eredivisie, the match between Utrecht and Groningen.

"Ok, guys, I found this footage half an hour in advance today. The quality should be pretty good, right?"

"The game is about to start!"

"Anchor, what is the direction today..."

"Didn't you see King Tang on the list? There is only one direction today, and that is Utrecht winning alone!"

[Yes, thanks to King Tang for the gift. I worked three extra hours yesterday and my feet are a little peeling.]

[Don't be so pretentious, but are you sure it's your feet that are peeling? ]

[Tang Ye is good. His tackle in the last game directly won Ten Hag's trust! ]

[I heard there’s a really good overseas player, so I spent 2 hours looking for a live stream to watch it! ]

[If you don't understand, just ask, how awesome is this Tang Ye you guys are bragging about? ]

[Let’s put it this way, other players are players you spend money on, but Tang Qiuwang is different. Tang Qiuwang can help you make money! ]

Tang Ye and Amrabat sat on the bench together and the game started soon.

Speaking of which, Utrecht's luck is really not that good. Their opponent in today's game is Groningen, which is also one of the strong teams this season.

4 consecutive games all against strong teams!

The camera turned to Ten Hag, and the Dutch coach had a serious expression.

Since taking over as coach of Utrecht, Ten Hag has never relaxed his nervous mood!
"Utrecht!"

Boom!

"Utrecht!"

Boom!

Utrecht's home stadium has more than 2 seats, and the number of people in attendance today was almost 1.

Although the results were not good at the beginning of the season, this did not stop the fans from supporting the team.

The game is in the 20st minute!

Ramsselaar's mistake in the frontcourt was seized by Droste!

Move forward, find an opening and pass the ball to Lin Sen on the left!

Lin Sen reposts!

Leave it to center DeLeeuw!
Groningen's attack was very smooth, which put pressure on Utrecht's backcourt defense.

"Vandermarel, move forward and block Delev's position!"

"Very good, Groningen's quick attack failed, and Utrecht's defense line has begun to retreat!"

"Deleu passes to Antonia!"

“Antonia!” “Long shot!”

"Well, that was a close call!"

The bean warriors in the live broadcast room breathed a sigh of relief. After listening to the host's advice today, most of them bought Utrecht.

If Utrecht falls behind, the Bean Warriors will be very uncomfortable!
"These Utrecht defenders are such wimps! Damn it!"

Wang Chao started the trolling mode, and the game had been going on for more than 10 minutes.

In just over 10 minutes, Utrecht's goal was threatened many times.

I can only say that it’s not Utrecht’s fault for its poor performance in recent years.

The players on the field were completely sleepwalking!
The director turned the camera to Tang Ye on the bench, and Wang Chao's eyes suddenly flashed.

"To be honest, this Ayub is not as good as Tang Ye. Can't we let Tang Ye play?"

"Ten Hag, listen to the fans' advice!"

"Go to Tangye!"

The Bean Warriors are a very pure group of people, and the suggestions they put forward are absolutely objective and fair.

Erik ten Hag, don't you get it?

Now is the time to replace me, Mengge!
The game reached the 35th minute and the broadcaster gave the statistics of both sides of the game.

Groningen, playing away from home, had a ball possession rate of 62%!

This game is calling for a holding midfielder!

Ten Hag turned his head, stretched out his hand and pointed to several players in the midfield and frontcourt to warm up, and finally came to Tang Ye.

"Do you think you can do it?"

"Forehead……"

Tang Ye glanced at the situation on the field, and then gave an ambiguous reply: "Should be ok?"

"Then you go warm up too!"

……

After more than 30 minutes, the score was still 0:0, and the fans who bought the number of goals had already started to cry silently.

Good news, Utrecht No. 99 is warming up!
The game enters the second half!
Utrecht, playing at home, has recovered a little bit, but the situation is still not optimistic.

532 formation, 5 midfielders, among which only Haller's performance meets the requirements of the Eredivisie.

"What are you transmitting?"

The ball flew away from his sight, Ale turned around and scolded Ayub who passed the ball.

In fact, Ale has a relatively good temper, but Ayub didn't make many normal passes in this game.

It is understandable that the through ball was intercepted by the opponent.

But what does it mean when a long ball goes straight out of bounds?
"My My"

After being scolded by the team leader, Ayub raised his hand embarrassedly to apologize.

It's not that he passed the ball crooked on purpose, it's mainly because he's in bad form and this kind of thing is really hard to deal with, plus Allais himself is quite harsh on midfielders.

There is nothing Ayub can do!

He can't just pass the ball through the entire opponent's defense line with one pass, right?
The game is in the 77th minute and the score is still 0:0.

Groningen's coaching staff had a brief discussion on the bench and prepared to move the defense forward in the next period of time.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that, except for Ramselaar, the other Utrecht midfielders have no real threat.

In that case, just pull the defense line forward.

Can’t score a goal?

Let the defenders support the forwards, then we can always score a goal, right?

Seeing the opponent gradually pressing towards their half, Ten Hag realized that Groningen was going to make a last-ditch effort.

The Dutch coach had no tactics prepared for the final minute; the only thing he could do was to adjust the players on the field.

In the 79th minute of the game, Amrabat and Tang Ye came on the court at the same time!
