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

Chapter 167: Win all Europa League group matches! Did the reporter pick up Tom's homework?
"What's wrong?"

Tang Ye blinked his eyes. At this time, the starting players had already come out of the tunnel, and Dos Santos and Gaspar were going through the substitution procedures.

Marty suddenly stared at him, which made Tang Ye feel a little flustered.

"for you"

Marty handed the phone in his hand to Tang Ye. Tang Ye took it, leaned back in his chair and looked at it carefully.

Alai, who was standing next to him, was also looking at Tang Ye's phone with his head tilted. His facial expression went through the same changes as Marty's.

It was very calm at first, then it stretched its neck.

Then he frowned.

Finally...start to hold back your laughter?
The front page headline of "AS" - After the match between Leganes and Villarreal, a reporter picked up a joma backpack with the "Villarreal" logo in the player channel. The backpack was open, and the reporter found a math exercise book belonging to a youth player inside.

According to the reporter's inference, this exercise book should belong to Tom, the golden boy of Huang Qian.

"Wow"

Tang Ye raised his head and looked into Marty's eyes: "My homework was picked up by someone"

"Hahaha! Damn, Tom, are you trying to make me die of laughter?"

Although the assistant coach was present, Ale, who was sitting next to him, could no longer hold back his excitement.

Tang Ye’s math homework was picked up by a reporter!

Haha!

"It's ok Marty"

Tang Ye handed Marty's phone back: "It's just a homework book. It's not a big deal. I'll ask my deskmate to ask Mr. Saul for another one for me. That'll be all."

Marty did not take the phone that Tang Ye handed over, but motioned Tang Ye to continue reading.

what?
Tang Ye took the phone back and turned to the next piece of news.

This news came from Marca and was published only 5 minutes later than AS.

The most important thing is that they are all talking about the same thing!
The front page headline of Marca: The reporter originally thought that the exercise book and backpack belonged to Tom, but then the reporter found the number "18" on the backpack, which is the number of the team's striker Sansone. Nicola Sansone is 25 years old and has no need to do homework, so Tom's homework should have been placed in his backpack. It is not clear why the two did this.

"..."

After reading this long list of news, Tang Ye suddenly raised his head.

Oh, damn...

"So what's going on?"

Marty looked into Tang Ye's eyes as the latter handed the phone back to the teaching assistant and rubbed his nose with his right hand.

"I, I, I..."

He said "I" three times in a row, but Tang Ye just couldn't say a word.

Looking at Escrivá who is busy directing the game in the front and Sansone who is preparing to break through with the ball on the court, Mr. Ferran and Nicola probably don't know what is going on yet.

But not knowing now doesn’t mean you won’t know in the future!

Depend on!
He held his head with both hands.

He is going to be scolded to death by Mr. Phelan!

Reposted from the Football Emperor: Spanish reporters discovered that Tang Ye’s homework appeared in the backpack of the team’s striker Sansone. Current clues suggest that Tang Ye asked his teammates to help him complete his math homework.

【…】

[Hahahahahahaha, damn, asking teammates to help me with my homework, damn, this is still Tang Qiuwang’s trick]

[Tang Ye: Nicola, can you help me with my homework? Please]

[It is understandable. Having to play as a starter in La Liga and doing homework at the same time, this pressure is unbearable for anyone]

[I am convinced by all of you haters. King Tang’s backpack can’t hold his homework, so why not ask his teammates to help carry it? ]

Football Talk: Bauman, a reporter from Spain's Channel 6, contacted his friend who is a reporter at the Utrecht Evening News. He got the math homework that Tang Ye did during his time in Utrecht and sent photos of the two homeworks to a handwriting expert for comparison.

"Although one is in Dutch and the other in Spanish, I am confident that they were not written by the same person. The strength of the two handwritings is completely different," said the expert.

[6. When it comes to making a living, it has to be a reporter]

[Pigsy has changed. He used to do his homework when he was in Utrecht.]

[What the hell is this handwriting expert, brother? Damn, Tang Qiuwang has collapsed]

In order to get more information, Spanish reporters went to great lengths to seek help from Dutch journalists and handwriting experts.

There is no way, there has never been such incredible news in Spanish football.

La Liga players asked their teammates to help them with their homework. Damn, just looking at these few words you know this will be explosive news!

Tang Ye is now sitting on pins and needles in the third row of the bench.

Tang Ye poked Alai's arm and lowered his head, asking in a low voice: "Sebastian, do you think Mr. Ferran will scold me later?"

Alai took a deep breath: "So... you really did it?"

"me……"

[You are 38 years old and asked your young teammates to help you with your math homework. In the end, you were caught by reporters because of a mistake. Now you regret it, but everything can’t be repeated.]

[Exploiting the young labor force in the team, counterattack point -1]

[Old but studious, you gain counterattack points*5]

"..."

Although he earned 4 counterattack points, Tang Ye is not happy at all now.

Just at this time, Villarreal made an offensive mistake and Escrivá shook his hands and glanced at the bench.

Tang Ye quickly lowered his head.

The camera turned to Tang Ye on the bench.

"We can see that Tang Ye, who was substituted early, was not in a good mood"

"Yes, he probably didn't understand the significance of the coach substituting him early. This is a problem that many young players will encounter. They think it is very shameful to be substituted early, but it is not the case."

"I think Escrivá should teach Tang Ye a lesson after the game!"

In the 71st minute of the second half, Musacchio gave away a penalty in the penalty area and Escriva roared angrily.

Although he knew that this penalty had nothing to do with him, Tang Ye was still a little panicked.

boom!
Roberto Rodriguez, who took the penalty kick, took a run and shot the ball into the goal, and the stadium suddenly erupted in cheers.

Feel like there's a chance to equalize the score?

Although Zurich has been confirmed to be eliminated in the group stage, as the last in Group L, it would be a very good achievement if they can stop Villarreal from completing a 6-game winning streak in the group stage!

Suddenly a penalty kick was scored, and Tang Ye's attention was immediately diverted.

"Sebastian, we're not going to lose, are we?"

"probably not"

Ale whispered that the overall situation is still relatively favorable for Villarreal and the possibility of accidents is not great.

"Go up, go up!"

"Set up the defense line, don't run out directly, keep an eye on the people!"

Escrivá quickly directed the players to adjust their status.

The Villarreal players on the field were still quite competitive. In the 81st minute of the game, the team captain Bruno stood up and made a long shot that directly narrowed the score difference to 2 goals again.

Escribá replaced Bruno in the 85th minute because the outcome of the game was almost certain.

"Tom, how's it going?"

Bruno stepped over the thighs of Ale and Tang Ye, sat on the right side of Tang Ye, and gulped down the water.

"Awesome," Tang Ye said softly, and Bruno raised his eyebrows.

It seems like Tom is not very happy?

Is it because he was substituted early?

"puff!"

On Tang Ye’s left side, Alai couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Bruno: ?

"Okay, the game is over!"

“最终比利亚雷亚尔是在客场以3：1的比分战胜苏黎世，成功拿到他们本赛季欧联杯小组赛的6连胜，这是本赛季欧联杯小组赛12个小组48支球队里唯一完成6连胜的球队！”

"Villarreal is in very good form this season, and after the Champions League group stage ends in a few days, the draw for the Europa League knockout play-offs will begin. I wonder what position Villarreal, who won all the group matches, will get in the play-offs!"

After the game, Tang Ye followed the players back to the locker room. Escrivá was in the lounge next to the press room preparing to accept the next interview with reporters.

Escrivá has always loved reading the news and reading fans' comments, so of course he was the first to learn about Sansone helping Tang Ye with his homework.

"This……"

Escrivá was overwhelmed.

What should I do when facing reporters?
Sitting in his seat in the locker room, Tang Ye was a little surprised because Escrivá did not rush into the locker room to scold him as he had imagined, which made Tang Ye feel relieved.

“Fuck, haha!”

Bruno was watching the news on his phone and laughing at Tang Ye: "Haha, you asked Nicola to help you with your homework"

"It was an accident, an accident"

Sansone explained, and Bakambu beside him laughed: "So Tom asked you to help write it, haha!"

"Well, uh, well...I..."

Sansone couldn't answer Bakambu's question, which made Bakambu's smile suddenly freeze.

Pato, who was sitting at the far end, also had a frozen smile.

Ale originally thought this was very funny, but when he noticed that the expressions of Bakambu and Pato suddenly froze, Ale's expression also froze.

No...isn't it?

……

Click, click, click!

Escrivá came into the press room, pulled out a chair and sat down.

The reporters in the audience were already ready!

"Phelan, the team's golden boy Tom was found to have his teammates help him write his homework. What do you think about this matter?"

Good guy!
These reporters are really talented. They simply ignored the team's 6 consecutive wins in the group stage.

Get your homework sorted out first!

"This one……"

Although he had been prepared, Escriva still acted a little restrained when faced with this kind of question: "Well, I personally don't know about this matter. I just took a brief look at it, but if I just judge based on the handwriting, I think this matter is not true."

"So you think Tom did all his homework on his own?"

"Yes, that's right. From what I know, he has never asked anyone to help him with his homework. This has never happened before, and it is the same now."

Click, click, click!

The sound of camera shutters rang out continuously at the scene.

The press room at the Zurich Arena is very small, and it just so happens that it is a hot topic today.

There were nearly 60 reporters at the scene, more than 10 of whom came here temporarily after the news was released!

"All right"

The reporter nodded, then asked Escriva a question he hadn't thought of.

"Phelan, if necessary, will you help Tom with his homework?"

"This one……"

Escrivá laughed: "You can rest assured, this is impossible, absolutely impossible. Tom is a player, but he is also a student. Students have to complete their own homework. I can be sure of that."

Click, click, click!

"Then will you punish Sansone for helping Tom with his homework?"

"..."

The press conference suddenly became quiet, and Escriva, who was about to speak, quickly bit his lips.

"Well, I just said that Tom completed his homework by himself."

The reporter couldn't get any information out of the man and finally gave up on the topic.

At this time, the reporter from Marca who picked up the schoolbag stood up and handed the backpack belonging to Sansone and Tang Ye's homework book to Escrivá.

It is worth mentioning that the reporter put his backpack directly on the table of the press conference, but held Tang Ye's homework book steadily with both hands, and then handed it to Escriva: "This is Tom's homework, please be sure to hand it to him. If the student does not complete the homework, he will be punished by the teacher."

"Thank you, thank you..."

Before the interview with Escrivá was over, Tang Ye, who was invited, also welcomed his interview on the court.

Marty emphasized some things to Tang Ye in advance, that is, he must not admit that he asked Sansone to help him write his homework.

So during the interview, no matter what the reporter said, Tang Ye denied it outright.

"So, if necessary, would you allow your teammates to help you with homework?"

“No, I usually write them myself.”

Tang Ye said.

"generally?"

"Oh, it means affirmation, I like to use it that way."

"so"

The reporter nodded, then pushed the microphone in front of Tang Ye again.

“Is it challenging for you to play for a La Liga team and also have to complete school assignments and exams after the games?”

“This is really difficult”

Tang Ye admitted it: "But it seems that there is no way, the rules are like this, but I should be able to graduate from school in half a year, and I am looking forward to that day now!"

"So...Tom, for you, which of these two things is more difficult, being the assist king in La Liga or completing your homework at school?"

"..."

Tang Ye looked at the reporter, and the reporter was also looking at Tang Ye. The two looked at each other, and Tang Ye hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a word.

"Tom?"

……

The second headline on the front page of Manchester Evening News: After defeating PSV Eindhoven, Manchester United will advance to the knockout stage as the second in the group and will face a random Europa League or Champions League relegated team in the round of 1.

Manchester Evening News front page headline-Ten Hag said in the post-match interview that Tom had always done his homework well during his time in Utrecht.

Football Expert: Fake news! In fact, Tang Ye did complete his homework by himself. The difference in handwriting may be because Tang Ye has different habits when writing Dutch and Spanish.

The headline of the Villarreal Times: After returning to Villarreal, fans photographed Tom driving a white Mercedes AMG at the Ceramics International School. "He should be handing in his homework," said the witness.

Football Elements: What is the level of the [17-year-old] [La Liga assist king] in [doing homework]?
