Chapter 171 Only Sansone helped Tom with his homework

Chapter 171 Only Sansone helped Tom with his homework
On the third day after the game, Villarreal players returned to the base for training.

In order to deal with Atletico Madrid, Escriva temporarily adjusted the team's tactics, and the purpose of today's training is to adjust the adjusted tactics back.

Atletico Madrid is a relatively special team in the entire La Liga. Villarreal certainly cannot use the same style of play they used against Atletico Madrid to deal with other teams in the league.

While running back and forth on the court during warm-up, Tang Ye looked at his current panel.

Tang Ye (38 years old)
[Ball possession: 79; Passing: 88]

[Shots: 75; Headers: 47; Set-pieces: 74]

[Speed: 70; Endurance: 72; Physical Confrontation: 73]

[Defense: 69; Vision: 94]

Overall Rating: 80
Let’s ignore headers for now. Defense is currently the only attribute of Tang Ye that has not reached 70 points.

But this is not a problem. Under the 4231 formation carefully designed by Escribá, Tang Ye does not have many defensive tasks, so his defensive flaws rarely have the chance to be exposed during the game.

At present, the most important things for Tang Ye are ball control, set pieces, and endurance.

There is no need to say much about ball control. To play in La Liga you must have excellent ball control skills. Tang Ye’s current ball control attribute of 79 points is enough for him to gain a foothold in La Liga, but if he wants to have a better performance on the field, it is better to increase this attribute to 80 or even 80+.

Currently, the fastest way for Tang Ye to improve his ball control attributes is to train with the team and eat the [Hazard Tatar Sauce Burger] on the rest day after the game.

In order to eat this burger, Tang Ye would ask Escrivá about the vacation as soon as possible after every game recently.

It seems that Tang Ye wants to be lazy and have more holidays, but that is not the case.

He just wanted to eat a burger!

Of course, he has to bear all the hard work behind the scenes silently by himself.

Then there is the set piece, which is like endurance. If Tang Ye’s two attributes can be improved, it will be of great help to Huang Qian.

But these two things have another thing in common, which is that they are both extremely difficult to upgrade!
After the one and a half hour training session in the morning, before letting the players get a massage to relax, Escrivá briefly talked about the next game.

"The next round is at noon on the 17th, our opponent is Sporting Gijon. After the game, it will be the second round of the King's Cup, just three days later, our opponent is Toledo."

"There's also the draw for the knockout rounds!"

Tang Ye reminded.

“Yes, there is also the draw for the knockout rounds.”

Escriva tapped Tang Ye in front of him with the notebook in his hand: "Are you still paying attention to this?"

"Tom must have taken the time to read the news while waiting for someone to play games."

Bruno saw through Tang Ye at a glance, and the latter could only spread his hands helplessly.

"The 16th round of the league between us and Sporting Gijon should end at 3pm, and the draw will be held in the evening."

"The result of the draw for the round of 32 is very important to us, but because we have a match on that day, I don't really want you to focus on the draw."

Tang Ye nodded seriously.

As Escrivá said, now they should focus on the game.

Because the players cannot decide the result of the draw, but the result of the game can!

“But we need to pray to God”

Musacchio suddenly said, clasping his hands together in front of himself: "God will help us get a good draw!"

Hearing Musacchio's words, Bruno did the same thing.

Tang Ye stood there, looking left and right, and found that many of his teammates were doing the same thing, so he also took his hands out of his pockets.

"Pray to God"

"You are not under God's control, are you?"

Alai, who was standing behind, suddenly said.

"It's all the same, as long as you are pious."

Tang Ye answered quickly, although he didn't know if what he said made sense: "Sebastian, you should pray to God too, so that we can get a good draw."

"no problem"

Alai took a step back and made a gesture of praying with his fists clasped towards Tang Ye.

"Okay, okay. Anyway, we have to go back to the base after the game. We can watch the draw together then."

“That’s great.”

Tang Ye's eyes were shining: "We will have dinner together in the cafeteria, and then we will draw lots on TV."

Not only does he have to eat dinner, Tang Ye also has to dance in the cafeteria with his teammates!
It’s exciting to think about.

“We need to win.”

Escriva reminded.

If we get together to watch the draw after losing, the atmosphere will definitely be very depressing.

So we must not lose the next league game!
……

After the afternoon training, the players were eating and chatting in the cafeteria. At this time, Escrivá and Marty, who had already finished dinner, came to the coach's office on the second floor.

There are still three days before the game, they need to come up with a temporary starting lineup and then make the final decision the day before the game.

Escriva took a pen and first wrote the abbreviations of "Mousacchio", "Ruiz" and others on the back line.

These two central defenders can be said to be the most stable players in the Villarreal team. They must start without any controversy.

As for the full-backs, Escribá finally chose Costa and Gonzalez.

Soon coming to the position of defensive midfielder, Escrivá wrote "Bruno" and "Rodri" without hesitation.

“You trust Sergio a lot.”

Marty sat next to Escriva.

He could see that Escriva really trusted Rodri.

It is indeed a bit exaggerated that a 20-year-old defensive midfielder starts every game for a team ranked third in La Liga.

"Rodri is an integral part of our tactics"

Escriva answered quickly.

An essential part of tactics?

Marty frowned, obviously not understanding what the head coach meant.

He is also the coach of Villarreal.

Remember that the team should not have a tactic centered on Rodri?
Rodri should not be a necessity in the starting lineup!
Marty had some doubts in his mind, but he didn't say it out loud in a hurry. He first waited to see what Escrivá would do next.

The 4231 formation is still missing a central midfielder. Escriva needs to choose between Tang Ye, Dos Santos, and Soriano.

Escriva bit the ballpoint pen in his hand and seemed very hesitant.

Write down the last three letters.

TOM.

Escriva was very satisfied with his choice. He looked up and found that Marty's eyes were fixed on him.

"..."

Escriva picked up the pen again and made a simple revision to what he had just written.

TOM (non-core).

He looked up at Marty again.

Marty was still looking at him.

"What's wrong?"

Escriva kept clicking the ballpoint pen in his hand.

"Phelan, um..."

Matty looked a little hesitant: "I know that putting Tom on the field will give us a better chance of winning the game, but you have to remember that Tom is just our loan player for only one year. Even if he is a Ballon d'Or-level player, we can't always play him as the core, otherwise we will definitely be in trouble next season!"

Marty stretched out his right hand and kept tapping the notebook on the table: "Everyone is poisoned! Everyone is poisoned! Except you and me, Ferran, remember what you said before, when the special situation is over, you will find a way to separate Tom from the core position!"

“……”Escrivá didn’t say anything, but he did say this.

"I know, Marty, I know."

Escrivá signaled Marty not to worry: "Of course I know, and I already have a plan, a plan that can win without Tom, but now is not the time, this is a special situation!"

"Our next opponent is Sporting Gijon. This game is very special. Sporting Gijon's defense is very strong. We need something sharper. Only in this way can we penetrate their defense."

Is Sporting Gijon also special?

Oh well!
Marty nodded: "Then when is it not a special situation?"

"almost!"

Escrivá's expression was firm: "It's almost there, I can feel it, believe me Marty!"

This……

Marty sighed.

But what Escriva said is actually not wrong. We can't be in a hurry to separate Tang Ye from the core position.

Marty supports Escriva!

This is not just because Escrivá is the team's head coach.

And also because Marty knew.

The terrifying Tom virus broke out in the Yellow Submarine.

He and Escriva are now the only two survivors who have not been affected by the virus.

They need to hold each other tight!
Only then there will be hope!
It took half an hour for Escriva and Marti to simply organize the starting lineup and main tactics for the match against Sporting Gijon, and then Marti left first.

dong dong!

Bruno pushed the door open, carrying a joma backpack on his back.

He had packed his things and was ready to leave, but Escrivá suddenly sent him a text message asking him to come to the office.

"Phelan!"

Bruno walked in with a smile, took off the backpack from behind and put it on the sofa.

As the captain of the team, Bruno can be said to be a frequent visitor to the second-floor office.

"Um"

Escriva came and sat down on the sofa, then motioned for Bruno to sit down as well.

"We have won four games in a row this month. The opponents in the next two games are not strong. The players may be a bit impatient now. You should pay attention to this in your daily life."

Escrivá and Bruno said slowly: "Especially Tom and Sergio, they are relatively young and need extra attention"

"Of course."

Bruno leaned back on the sofa very naturally. He wanted to hear what Escrivá had to say, but for some reason Escrivá suddenly fell silent.

"Phelan?"

"Oh, I want to talk about homework again."

what?
Bruno was stunned for a moment.

"Is this Tom's homework?"

"Besides him, is there anyone else on our team who needs to do homework?"

Escrivá asked back, and then leaned back on the sofa: "Didn't the news break out before that Nicola (Sansone) wrote homework for Tom? I just want to talk about this."

"What's wrong?"

Bruno pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"It's not a big deal, but I have a feeling that, uh... Bruno, you know, Nicola is doing homework for Tom, and Nicola is a striker, so I think it's a bit inappropriate."

As he spoke, Escriva took out his notebook.

"Bruno, do you feel that Nikola has been scoring goals more frequently recently?"

what?
"This, Feilan, are you too nervous?"

Bruno said: "Nikola has been in good shape recently."

Escriva nodded.

Bruno is right, Sansone has been in good form recently, so it is normal for him to score more goals.

"I'm probably thinking too much, but it's better to prevent this kind of thing."

Escriva's voice softened.

To be honest, he feels a little guilty now.

He shouldn't doubt the players on the team.

Everyone helps Tom with his homework out of kindness and without any selfish motives!

"correct!"

"Besides Nicola, is there anyone else doing Tom's homework?"

Bruno remained silent.

"It's okay. If you know, just tell me. I won't punish them. I just want to know."

"I think should not be"

Bruno replied.

"Except for Nicola, there is no one else? That shouldn't be the case. Sebastian and he both came from the Netherlands. They have such a good relationship, why doesn't Sebastian help him with his homework?"

Escriva nodded.

It seemed a little unbelievable to Tang Ye that Sansone was the only one helping him with his homework.

its not right……

If Tang Ye couldn't complete his homework and needed help, shouldn't he look for Alai first?
Why Sansone?
wow！

Escriva's eyes lit up.

"So it was Nicola who offered to help Tom with his homework?"

"It seems so, but I'm not sure about the details."

Bruno answered quickly.

"If this is the case, then this matter really needs to be taken seriously."

Escriva is a very sensitive person.

He is easily hurt by comments online, and is also prone to notice subtle changes around him.

"By the way, Bruno."
