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

Chapter 188 Spanish TV channel Tom implies that Villarreal players have an extra mission
“Beep, beep, beep—!!!”

Referee Undiano blew the whistle to end the game, but in the end the miracle that the fans were expecting for Villarreal did not come.

Villarreal lost!

They lost to Alaves 1-2 at the Ceramics Stadium and lost the first leg of the King's Cup quarter-finals!
"Beep beep beep!!!"

"Beep beep beep!"

The fans in the stands were somewhat dissatisfied, but they had no place to vent their anger and could only keep blowing fake whistles.

Fortunately, no home team fans have expressed dissatisfaction with the Villarreal players or coach Escriva on the field.

So far this season, Huang Qian's performance in various competitions has been recognized by fans.

But Villarreal did play badly in today's game.

"Not only did we not play well on defense, we also didn't play well on offense!"

Walking in the player tunnel, captain Bruno pointed out the problems exposed by the team in this game.

“I should have seized that last chance.”

Alai felt a little regretful.

However, with the experience from the last time, this time after missing the opportunity, Haller did not feel almost collapsed as he did before against Barcelona.

He has become stronger!

"It's not a question of whether we seized the last chance or not. We just didn't feel right in the second half."

Bruno led the team walking in the circular passage. The design of the Alaves Stadium is quite special, and the players of the two teams actually met in the passage.

However, when walking past the Alaves players, the Villarreal players lowered their heads.

Because they are the losers of today's game!
The presence of the opposing players made it difficult for Bruno to say anything to the players, and it was not until they returned to the locker room that Bruno spoke again.

"We should have set the pace at the beginning of the game, and after taking the lead, we should have passed the ball completely in the second half and not given the opponent any chance to control the ball!"

"We shouldn't have played so nicely with them at the beginning"

Sitting in his own seat in the locker room, Bruno's bad mood still did not ease.

As the old captain of Villarreal, Bruno knows how important the Copa del Rey quarter-finals is to the team.

It is such a pity!

The atmosphere in the locker room was not very good, and Escrivá was not present, so Tang Ye could only sit back in his seat silently.

After Pato left, Tang Ye inherited the position that originally belonged to Pato, but Tang Ye still insisted on sitting in the corner.

There is a wall on the right, which gives Tang Ye an indescribable sense of security.

"such a pity!"

Holding his knees, Tang Ye's body swayed back and forth on the stool with his buttocks as the fulcrum. Rodriri came back and took out a bottle of sports drink for Tang Ye from the box.

"Orange or blueberry?"

"Blueberry Bar"

Tang Ye took the drink and gulped down half of the bottle.

Sweet drinks always help to relieve emotions when you are sad, and this time is no exception.

But the effect of sweetness is limited. If the Villarreal players want to completely recover from the defeat in today's game, it will probably take a long time.

“There is actually another way.”

Tang Ye said suddenly, put his feet back on the floor, and looked at Rodri and Ale with his eyes wide open.

"Wouldn't it be better if we just win the next round?"

"..."

Tang Ye proposed a perfect solution to the problem, but neither Rodri nor Ale spoke at the first time.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Ye asked.

"Tom, Alaves has found a way to deal with us. It will be difficult for us to beat them in the second round..."

Alai's words made Tang Ye fall into silence.

Yes, we lost the first round home games.

That round of the game was still an away game!
What about away games?
"It's fine"

Tang Ye put his hand on Rodri's shoulder and looked at Alai who was one position away: "We didn't know how they played before, but now we know, so our chances of winning the second round will be greater."

"This, this is true..."

In the press room, head coach Escrivá and assistant coach Marty walked in together.

Click, click, click!

"Ferran, this is the second game Villarreal has lost this month. Do you have anything to say about the result of this game? You lost the first leg of the quarter-finals at home, which is very unfavorable for promotion."

Because of the loss in this game, Villarreal's chances of advancing to the semi-finals have been greatly reduced.

The reporters who came to the scene to interview were all professionals, and they could see the problems exposed by Villarreal in this game.

They have been studied thoroughly by Alaves!

The visiting team coach Pellegrino understood the Yellow Submarine thoroughly.

They knew how to beat Villarreal, but Villarreal didn't know how to beat their opponents.

This is where the problem lies!
"I know that the current situation is not favorable for us. We have one goal less than our opponent, which will put us in a passive position in the situation, but I think this is acceptable and we can adjust back in the second round of the game."

As Escrivá spoke, Marty turned and looked at him.

Can we adjust in the second round?

Marty was very familiar with Escrivá, and he could tell that what Escrivá had just said was true.

So has Ferran already figured out a solution for the second round?

What is he going to do?
"So you think the team can advance to the semi-finals? Can I ask about your cup goal? What kind of results do you plan to achieve in this season's Copa del Rey?"

Escriva pursed his lips, then opened them slightly and took a deep breath.

"I think that since we have come this far, we should play with the idea of ​​​​winning the championship. Losing in the quarter-finals or semi-finals is a pity. I don't want to disappoint the players and fans on the team."

The reporter stuck his head out and whispered, "Ferran, I must remind you that Real Madrid and Barcelona have not been eliminated yet. You may meet one or even both of them in the next game!"

"I know, but this has nothing to do with our goal. What we need to do is to know who our opponents are and then find ways to defeat them, instead of being afraid."

"..."

The reporter said nothing, and Marty turned his gaze back to Escriva.

Compared to the beginning of the season when he was upset by Tang Ye, Ferran is now much more confident.

He is slowly figuring out this team.

This is not just talk, he is actually doing it!

……

Ale parked the car in front of Tang Ye's apartment. Tang Ye got out of the car and was fiddling with the road bike on the roof of the car.

Because he often picked up and dropped off Tang Ye, Alai simply installed a bicycle holder on his car.

By placing Tang Ye's bicycle on the roof, he can deliver Tom and his bicycle to the destination at the same time without damaging the bicycle.

Tang Ye fiddled around outside for a long time, and finally knocked on the driver's window with his hand.

"Sebastian, help me!"

Alai rolled down the car window and said, "Look, there is a buckle. You can take it out by breaking it open."

"I know this, I've already solved it, but the car is placed too high, come and help me!"

"Ha ha!"

Ale came out, grabbed the bicycle frame with both hands and lifted it up.

The rear wheel came up, but the front wheel didn't.

"I know why you can't lift it down. There's a buckle that's not pressed."

As he spoke, Alai quickly took control of the machine, took down Tang Ye's bicycle and put it on the ground: "Remember to put it in the room, otherwise it will be easily stolen."

"Oh, don't talk about this, Sebastian"

Tang Ye rode his bicycle: "I keep my bicycle in my room every day. I don't trust the Spanish anymore."

"Ha ha"

"See you the day after tomorrow Tom!"

Alai and Tang Ye fist-bumped.

After the loss, Escribá gave the players a day and a half off to adjust their mentality.

As for how to adjust the mentality, every player has his own way.

Tang Ye's method is the simplest and easiest. He only needs to play a few games of CS or FIFA with Neymar and Dembele and he will be very happy.

Although Dembele's skills are poor and Neymar's skills are not that good either, Tang Ye likes to play games with them.

Leading his good friend to victory made Tang Ye feel a clear sense of pride.

This feeling can bring him happiness! Tang Ye rode his bicycle inside, and after reaching his floor, he quickly ran into the room.

Dembélé was already waiting for him.

Originally, I was planning to play with Neymar and Dembele, but Neymar said he was going to the bar today, so Dembele was alone.

To be honest, it’s a bit of a pity, but there’s nothing we can do. Tang Ye and Dembele started chatting using translation software in the chat box.

They had microphones on, but they didn't speak the same language, so when they encountered complicated issues they had to use translation software to communicate.

After chatting for a long time, Tang Ye learned a piece of news from Dembele that surprised him very much.

[Barcelona also wants you, so are you going to Barcelona in the winter transfer window? ]

Pressing the Enter key, Tang Ye waited for Dembele's reply.

The winter transfer window is not over yet. If Dembele transfers to Barcelona...

wow！

If there is a game against Barcelona in the second half of the season, Tang Ye is likely to meet his good friend in the game!
Looking forward to Dembele's reply, the French striker typed very quickly, and Tang Ye copied and pasted it into the translation software.

What Dembele meant was that Barcelona made an offer of 6000 million euros to Dortmund, but Dortmund did not accept it, so the transfer should be cancelled.

Ok……

Tang Ye's head drooped.

[Does that mean we have to wait until the summer transfer window? ]

[Maybe, my agent told me that the chances of me going to Barcelona are quite high]

[So do you want to go to Barcelona? 】

[Of course, it’s Barcelona! ]

Ousmane wants to go to Barcelona!
Tang Ye silently kept this in mind, then adjusted his headset: "Hoohoo, start, start"

……

The King's Cup quarter-final competition is still going on, and Real Madrid's defeat to Celta in the first leg has attracted a lot of discussion among La Liga fans.

Why did Real Madrid lose to Celta at the Bernabeu?

Soon, some veteran fans will come up with a more widely accepted answer through their own analysis.

Real Madrid gave up the King's Cup!
The Champions League knockout round is about to begin, and Real Madrid's current goal is to get more points in the La Liga.

Then they will achieve their mission of winning the championship on two fronts!
Real Madrid has revealed its intention to give up the King's Cup, which is definitely good news for other teams participating in the King's Cup.

Especially Villarreal and Alaves, these two teams are on the same side as Real Madrid.

That is to say, if either Villarreal or Alaves wins in the quarter-finals, they will face Celta, which is not very strong, in the semi-finals!
This is a direct path to the finals!
[I won’t say any more, brothers. Please pray for GGBond here.]

Speaking of Tang Ye, Spanish Channel 6 held an interview program after the match between Villarreal and Alaves.

The title is: Professor from Autonomous University of Barcelona analyzes Tom's homework.

At first glance, this title seems a bit outrageous, but it has to be said that Spanish Channel 6 is definitely pinching the traffic point.

The number of views of this program is much higher than the interview program after Ronaldo won the Golden Ball Award!

Just like the title, Pedro, the host of Spanish Channel 6, interviewed Solanas, an associate professor from the School of Mathematics at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.

Solanas is not only an associate professor at the School of Mathematics, but also a senior fan of Barcelona.

In the shot, Solanas is holding a notebook in his hand.

Apparently, this is Tom's homework!
Spanish Channel 6 got Tom's homework from Marca!
Under the gaze of the camera, Solanas read the contents of the exercise book very carefully, and the host next to him asked questions when the opportunity arose.

"So what do you think of Tom's assignment?"

"Um……"

Solanas looked thoughtful. "First of all, the French. It is indeed very strange to have French in the Spanish homework. But I am a big fan of Tom. Since he said that no one was asked to do the homework, then no one was asked to do the homework."

Pedro leaned back and said, "Tom will be very grateful for your support. Besides the two pages of French, do you have any comments on the rest of the assignment?"

hiss--

“This is not an easy question to answer”

Solanas flipped through the workbook in his hand: "But I did see something..."

“This assignment is coherent, but I can divide it into four parts, and the correct answers in these four parts are not the same.”

"I learned a lot while doing my homework, so my accuracy rate has increased?"

Pedro asked tentatively.

At this time, the camera moved closer and showed the contents of Tang Ye's homework book. Solanas said slowly: "You see, the accuracy rate of answering the questions was very high at the beginning, but in the second part, when he changed to a thicker ballpoint pen, the accuracy rate suddenly began to drop."

Just as Solanas said, after the handwriting changed, the accuracy of Tang Ye's homework dropped sharply, almost by half.

Then comes part three and part four.

The accuracy rate is getting lower and lower, and the pens used are also different.

Facing the camera, Solanas reiterated his emphasis: "Of course, I believe Tom did not find five people to write his homework for him. This is absurd. My point of view is more inclined to competitive pressure. I think it is the high-intensity pressure of La Liga and the Europa League that caused him to write worse and worse when doing his homework. This is understandable."

In the office on the second floor of the base, Escriva's expression was not very good as he watched the YouTube video playing on his laptop.

Damn Spanish Channel 6.

Isn’t this show implying Tom?
dong dong!

There was a knock on the door and Captain Bruno walked into the office: "What's going on, Ferran?"

The game is going to start tomorrow, and Escriva probably wants to talk to the captain Bruno about the game.

Just like always.

But this time Bruno guessed wrong again.

"Come on, Bruno, come here!"

Escribá asked Bruno to stand next to him, then pulled the progress bar of the video and showed Bruno the video posted by Spanish Channel 6 on Youtube from beginning to end.

"..."

After watching the video, Bruno, who had his hands on the desk, suddenly became serious and stood up straight without knowing when.

Escrivá spread his hands: "Do you understand where you are wrong now? I know you helped Tom with his homework out of kindness, but this matter will bring a lot of bad effects."

Spanish Channel 6 implied Tang Ye in its program, and the club has been able to accept it so far.

But what if things develop further and the reporter finds out that the people who write homework for Tang Ye are all forwards?
By then it won’t be about connotation, but the Spanish Football Association will send people to Villarreal’s training base to investigate!
Investigate match-fixing!

"Laliga Official - Because the Villarreal club's striker used unspoken rules to score goals, the club was deducted 20 league points"!
Although match-fixing itself does not exist, once Villarreal is suspected, it will definitely have a great impact on the club's reputation.

unacceptable!

This is absolutely unacceptable!

"Phelan, don't be nervous."

Bruno comforted him: "They can only judge Tom's handwriting because he wrote his name on the cover, and Nicola (Sansone). Apart from Tom and Nicola, they can't tell the handwriting of anyone else. They won't find the problem."

correct.

Thinking of something, Bruno reminded: "The part with the highest accuracy rate is mine."

Escrivá:?

"I'll go to you!"

An angry Escriva scratched his hair and then asked Bruno a question: "Tom should have homework recently, right?"

“Yes, there seem to be quite a lot.”

"How did you know?"

"Well... because I often see him writing"

"Forget it"

Escribá waved his hand and said, "I'll give you a task. You need to find a way to get the midfielders, defenders, and even the goalkeeper to write Tom's homework. Yes, it doesn't matter if the reporters find out."

"It can't be just the striker and the captain who help with the homework, otherwise we will be investigated by the Football Association. Bruno, do you understand? This matter is very serious."

hiss--

Bruno took a deep breath.

Although what Escriva said is correct.

But this matter came out of Escriva's mouth.

Ok……

This gave Bruno an indescribable feeling...

After seeing Bruno off, Escrivá stared at the computer screen on his desk.

Alaves' tactics perfectly restricted Villarreal.

He needed to figure out a solution.

A way to beat Alaves!
