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

Chapter 173: 12 wins in 5 games in December, Europa League knockout draw!
Although Villarreal was very aggressive, Sporting Gijon was really strong in the second half.

In the 51st minute of the second half, Artman made a long pass from the midfield to the right bottom line, and then striker Carmona took advantage of the opportunity to stop the ball and directly devoured Costa.

Costa made a mistake!

After going down the flank, Carmona passed the ball directly into the penalty area!

Moi Gomez jumped up at the back post and scored with a header!
"wow!!"

After a quick attack, Sporting Gijon seized the few opportunities that belonged to them!
This goal made Escrivá on the bench frown, and he stood up and shouted to several defenders on the field.

Gone!

With a 2-goal lead, Villarreal's defenders started to get carried away!
"Focus!"

Bruno put his index finger on his temple and yelled at Musacchio and Ruiz: "Didn't you notice the obvious forward run?"

In fact, Bruno did remind Gomez when he rushed into the penalty area, but by the time Musacchio reacted, it was too late.

Sporting Gijon scored a goal!
"Clap clap clap!"

Captain Bruno kept clapping his hands to remind the players on the field: "Focus, we are only leading by one now!"

The sudden goal made Villarreal's players a little panicked, and Tang Ye was of course also nervous.

Although he has not experienced much, he has experienced it.

The feeling of taking the lead and then having the score tied is very unpleasant.

One can imagine what Villarreal’s locker room would look like after the game if the score was really equalized.

We must keep steady!
Or find a way to further expand the score!
However, at this moment, a bad situation occurred. Bakambu was about to break through after receiving a through ball from Gonzalez on the right, but Amorebieta rushed over and tackled him directly.

The tackle was of course nothing, the main thing was that Amorebieta's tackle hit Bakambu's ankle directly.

"Beep!"

The referee ran over quickly and showed a yellow card to Amorebieta who committed the foul.

It can be seen from the camera that Villarreal's team doctor is standing on the sidelines.

They could see that this was a serious injury!
"I rely on..."

Tang Ye ran over and stopped beside Bakambu. Although he was wearing thick socks and sneakers, Tang Ye couldn't see the condition of Bakambu's ankle.

But from the team doctor's reaction, it can be seen that Bakambu's condition does not seem to be very good...

A team doctor untied Bakambu's shoelaces and took off his shoes, while another team doctor just took a look and made a substitution on the bench.

Bakambu can't hold on any longer!
Damn it.

Tang Ye frowned and looked at Amorebieta beside him, and his mood was obviously not very good.

He could have clearly stopped himself when he met Bakambu, but he didn't!
“xuuu——!!!”

Amorebieta's foul made the fans in the away stands a little dissatisfied, but their boos were quickly drowned out by the home fans shouting the team's name.

"Gijon! (Sports Gijon)"

"Gijon!"

Escriva replaced the injured Bakambu with Pato, and Bakambu was helped onto the field by the team doctor.

Tang Ye and Rodri ran over, touched Pato's hand, then ran back to their positions to continue the game.

In the 78th minute, Bruno passed the ball to Tang Ye and quickly moved to the middle, while Tang Ye took the ball directly to the right.

Go forward!

Make a one-two with Pato!

Get rid of Amorebieta directly!
Tang Ye rushed out and got the ball in front, while looking into the penalty area.

It’s a pity that because it was a counterattack, the teammates at the far end had not arrived yet.

Tang Ye had no chance to cut inside directly, so he stopped on the sidelines.

He has to wait for his teammates!
Amorebieta returned to Tang Ye again.

The fans in the live broadcast room have begun to get nervous.

One-on-one duel between Tang Ye and the opposing defensive player!

There are a lot of highlights!
Just when the fans thought Tang Ye was going to use his imagination to complete a fancy move, he wrapped the ball with the arch of his right foot and then began to spin on the spot.

Amorebieta:?

After turning his right foot, Tang Ye passed the ball to his left foot.

One more turn!
Using the speed generated by the rotation, Tang Ye pushed the ball with his left foot to Gonzalez who came over to receive the ball, and then ran directly to the baseline.

Snapped!
Gonzalez's through ball!
Send it directly to the right baseline!
Tang Ye ran forward quickly!

In order to keep his first kick, Tang Ye did not rush to control the ball, but instead raised his right foot and let the ball roll naturally in front of him.

Also observe the restricted area!

Ok, this time his good friend is here!
Snapped!
[De Bruyne crosses from the bottom level 3: simulation]

Proficiency: 10/400
"Wow!"

The fans in the stands stood up, and Tang Ye's cross flew above the penalty area and began to fall when it was almost to the back point.

Take a closer look…

This ball has topspin!

"Watch out for headers!"

Goalkeeper Cuellar shouted, and Allais, who was most likely to head the ball in the penalty area, was quickly surrounded.

However, Ale still grabbed the first point with his personal ability.

What if there is no angle to head the ball?
boom!
Allais headed the ball to Rodri at the top of the arc, who decisively passed the ball to Pato on the right.

Pato passed the ball back into the penalty area!
Alai crossed his right foot, wrapped the ball with the arch of his foot and pushed it gently.

"GGGG-OOOO-LLLLL!!!"

"The ball is in!"

Escriva raised both arms simultaneously.

The goal scored at this time, Ale's push shot can be said to have directly secured the victory.

After scoring the goal, Haller ran very quickly with Pato directly to the corner flag on the right.

Tang Ye was already waiting there!

"Together, Tom!"

hiss--

Take a deep breath!

Take a deep breath!
“VAMOS!!!!”

The Villarreal players on the field helped Bakambu on the bench to avenge himself!
Especially Tom!

His left and right feet continuously rotated on the spot + two-pass directly fooled Amorebieta who tackled Bakambu!

This is the anger from Tom!

"Pah, pah, pah! Good job!"

Escribá applauded and then waved to the visiting team's stands at the far end.

"wow!!"

Seeing Escrivá's gesture, Villarreal fans immediately cheered.

That's E-Sheng!

Ai Sheng is waving at them!

"Fran!"

"Villarreal!"

Boom!

"Villarreal!"

Boom!

Because of the silence in the home team's stands, the voices of the visiting team's fans occupied the stadium in a short time.

Coach Avelardo silently sat back on the bench.

He knew they had already lost the game!
And the loss was complete!

“Beep, beep, beep—!!!”

"Okay, the game is over!"

"In the final round of La Liga, Sporting Gijon lost the game to Villarreal at home with a score of 16:3. Because of the loss in this game, Sporting Gijon will temporarily stay in the relegation zone before the start of the 1th round!"

"And Villarreal here!"

He Wei took a deep breath and calmed down his excited emotions.

"Because of the victory in this game, they are currently ranked second in the league standings, surpassing Real Madrid!"

Although Villarreal played against Real Madrid away shortly after the start of the season, the game ended in a draw.

But now Villarreal has directly rushed to the second place in the standings with 16 wins in 13 rounds!

In a sense, they also defeated Real Madrid! Oh, no!

It was Tom and his good friends who defeated Real Madrid!

Coming out of the locker room, Tang Ye took the MVP trophy of the game from the host.

With only 1 assist, Tang Ye's data is not too impressive compared to Haller and Rodri who scored goals.

But the MVP trophy is not just about the number of goals and assists.

Tang Ye created a total of 14 offensive opportunities and 4 excellent chances in this game, which is the sum of the other 10 starting players of Villarreal!

"This is your last league game in December"

The reporter smiled as he looked at Tang Ye in front of him. The latter was holding his trophy and smiling happily: "There is also the King's Cup against Toledo later, and we are also at home."

"Oh, let's just talk about the league for now"

The reporter reminded: "Tom, you have experienced a total of 12 league games in December, Leganes, Sporting Gijon, and the powerful Atletico Madrid. You have won all 3 games, and you won the MVP trophy in 3 of them. Do you have anything to say about this?"

"Oh, I'm happy because we've been winning in December, so I'm happy"

Tang Ye said slowly: "Well... But to be honest, I think the opponents in these three games are not weak, especially Atletico Madrid. I had a hard time playing against Atletico Madrid, very, very hard. But fortunately, my teammates gave me a lot of help. They let me know that Atletico Madrid is not completely unbeatable."

Hearing Tang Ye's words, Bruno, who was attending the post-match interview with Tang Ye, reached out and gently patted Tang Ye on the back.

"Your points have surpassed Real Madrid. After the 16th round of the league, you are ranked second in the standings. This is the best result since Villarreal was founded. Have you ever thought about defeating Barcelona and challenging for first place in the league?"

Beat Barcelona...

Tang Ye kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

When the reporter mentioned the word "Barcelona", Tang Ye immediately thought of the stars in the La Liga giants and shook his body involuntarily.

Knowing that Tang Ye was not good at answering these questions, Bruno took a step forward and stood in front of Tang Ye: "Well, this question is hard to answer. We are in good shape, but Barcelona is very strong. We are very much looking forward to the head-on confrontation with Barcelona."

"Do you think you have a chance?"

“Of course we have a chance.”

Bruno answered quickly.

Beat Barcelona and hit the top of the standings?

You can try!

No, you must try it!
If Tom leaves next season, there will be no chance to try again!

The second headline of the front page of Marca: Influenced by the public opinion about homework, Villarreal's official Twitter account has unfollowed AS. "They have cut ties with AS."

Football Emperor pinned the post: The draws for the Champions League and the Europa League are both coming, what kind of opponents do you hope your home team will face?
The Champions League teams that have landed in the Europa League this time are: Ludogorets, Besiktas, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Tottenham Hotspur, Legia Warsaw, Copenhagen, and Lyon.

The official website of Dongqiudi launched an activity, which is to predict the opponents that a team may encounter in the knockout stage. This activity started 48 hours before the draw.

Two hours before the draw began in the early morning, the official released the so-called "European Team Popularity List".

1. Villarreal (UEFA Europa League), votes (7821)

2. Manchester United (Europa League), votes (5311)

3. Real Madrid (Champions League/defending champions), votes (3812)

4. Barcelona (Champions League), votes (3671)

5. Arsenal (Champions League), votes (3129)

……

Villarreal and Manchester United are the only two Europa League teams to make the top 12 in terms of votes, and Villarreal is also ranked first in the entire popularity list.

Although Villarreal has not yet surpassed Barcelona in the standings.

But they have already crushed this La Liga super giant in terms of traffic!

[7821＞3812+3671, brothers, don’t even think about Messi and Ronaldo joining forces, even Real Madrid and Barcelona joining forces can’t beat Tang Qiuwang]

[The popularity of the two players in the Europa League is the first and second, right?]

[Manchester United benefited from the traffic of Tang Qiuwang, otherwise they would not be able to make it]

[Don't talk nonsense, okay? My traffic is not traffic anymore, right? ]

[Awesome, I hope to get a good sign for Tang Qiuwang]

[No more nonsense, just pick Manchester United, a strong team should play against a strong team! ]

[A life-and-death battle between a master and his apprentice, right? But Manchester United is still very strong, and Huang Qian may not win.]

[Yellow Qian can't win, but with Tang Ye in charge, isn't it easy for Yellow Qian to beat Manchester United? 】

Fans argued endlessly on the APP about the draw and the king of traffic, but no matter how they argued, it was useless because in the end they still had to look at the result of the draw.

When the time came to the evening, the players of Villarreal gathered in the cafeteria as agreed.

Tang Ye sat directly on the table.

This is because Escrivá is not here today. He flew to the draw site after the game.

As the team coach, he needs to attend the draw ceremony as a guest!
Just half an hour ago, the Champions League draw had just ended, and Bayern directly ran into Arsenal, one of the BIG6 in the Premier League, creating the most exciting match in the round of 16.

Then there are the La Liga teams.

Real Madrid drew Napoli, Atletico Madrid drew Leverkusen, and Barcelona drew Paris Saint-Germain. These are absolutely strong dialogues.

Of course there is also Sevilla, who were very unlucky to draw last season's Premier League champions Leicester City!

Of course, these are not what Tang Ye needs to pay attention to.

The screen turned, and then a long string of words popped up.

UEFA Europa League

"coming!"

Tang Ye jumped up from the table, and all the Villarreal players who were playing cards gathered around him.

"Tom, here you go!"

Alai handed Tang Ye a bottle of iced cola.

Although Christmas is coming and the weather is cold, the players still enjoy iced soda.

Tang Ye held the Coke bottle tightly, then smashed it against the corner of the table, and the Coke was opened with a "pop".

He walked towards the TV while drinking a Coke.

hiss--

The heating in the room was on a little bit, but when Tang Ye drank the Coke, he still felt uncomfortable and shook his body.

"Ha ha!"

Bruno looked at Tang Ye who was walking over: "How do you feel now, Tom?"

"Well... it's like there's an ice cube in my brain, but it's gone now, I feel pretty comfortable."

Tang Ye sat down on the sofa.

“No, no, that’s not what I’m asking.”

Bruno shook his head quickly: "The draw is about to begin. Are you nervous now?"

this……

Tang Ye put the cold Coke in his hand on the coffee table, his eyes fixed on the TV in front of him: "Not bad, I think we are pretty good, we don't have to be afraid if we draw against most teams, right?"

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye's words made his teammates around him laugh. Musacchio sat at the beverage bar and raised his beer: "I totally agree with what Tom said."

At this moment, Tang Ye suddenly pointed at the TV in front of him: "Mr. Fei Lan!"

Oh?
The players' attention returned to the TV, and the live camera was given to the guests in the audience. Escrivá was sitting in the second row with a serious expression.

Ten Hag is sitting in the second seat next to him!
At this moment, a strange thing happened. Escribá patted Tottenham coach Pochettino on his right, and the two quickly exchanged positions after a brief exchange.

This is not the end yet. Escribá quickly found Schalke 04 coach Weinzier in another position on the right.

It was the same process. After a brief exchange, the two quickly changed positions.

What is this doing?
Tang Ye widened his eyes and saw Escriva patting Manchester United coach Ten Hag on his right again.

I thought they were going to switch places, but...

Escrivá struck up a conversation with Ten Hag.

Ok?
