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

Chapter 196 Physical confrontation, overall rating 81!

“Beep, beep, beep—!!!”

The referee blew the whistle to end the game, and Tang Ye, who was out of breath from running, sat down on the ground.

Escribá led the players on the bench to the field to celebrate, and actually walked to Tang Ye specifically: "Thank you for your hard work."

Even with a 3-goal lead, Tang Ye was still looking for offensive opportunities.

Even the frequency is getting faster and faster!

All I can say is that since he first met Tang Ye last summer, Escrivá has seen the changes in this guy.

He looks a little lazy, but this guy is more serious than anyone else during the competition!
Tang Ye is changing.

He is becoming more and more pure!
“Just a little bit more.”

Sitting on the grass, Tang Ye hung his head, spit the chewing gum in his mouth into the wrapper, and began to breathe rapidly.

【Number of offensive chances created: 16/18】

16 offensive chances created, these are his final statistics for today's game.

He is only two more times away from upgrading the Superstar Treasure Box to a Legendary Treasure Box!

"Just a little bit, haha!"

Escrivá squatted in front of Tang Ye and stretched out three fingers: "3:0! Today we beat our opponent 3:0. Are you still not satisfied with this score?"

Tang Ye turned his head away, not really wanting to talk to Escriva.

When he was young, Escriva was already an assistant coach for the Portuguese Super League giants Benfica. After returning to his hometown of Spain, he immediately became an assistant coach for Atletico Madrid, and then was promoted all the way to the current head coach of Villarreal.

Mr. Phelan's life was not without its ups and downs.

A pampered guy!
How could he understand the twists and turns and difficulties Tom encountered?
"Ha ha!"

Seeing Tang Ye’s unhappy expression, Escriva couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

He reached out and patted Tang Ye on the back: "You played very well. If you try harder in the next round, we will be able to reach the finals."

Standing up from the grass, Tang Ye did not forget what he was thinking in the first half, so he slowly walked to the bottom of the visiting team's stands.

"Tom!"

"Wow!"

Seeing Tang Ye coming over, the Villarreal players in the stands screamed excitedly and quickly took out the pens they had been carrying on their backs.

"Tom! Signature Tom!"

"Come on, Tom, in the second round. We're going to the finals soon, the closest we'll ever get to the championship!"

"Have you finished your homework, Tom?"

Walking to the bottom of the stands, Tang Ye did not rush to take the pen, but reached into his pocket.

"Wait a moment."

Tang Ye took out two unopened gums from his pocket: "Do you want these?"

"I want I want!"

"Give it to me!"

Tang Ye looked up at the young man in front of him wearing his No. 99 jersey.

This was the guy who just asked Tang Ye if he had finished his homework.

"I don't like you"

Tang Ye took a step to the left and handed the chewing gum to another person.

……

Football Emperor's report: In the King's Cup semi-finals, Villarreal shut out Celta 3-0 away from home to lay the foundation for advancement.

Football Emperor's report: In the King's Cup semi-final, Barcelona drew 0-0 with Atletico Madrid away. Messi's offside goal was blown off and Griezmann was suspended for one game due to accumulated yellow cards.

Messi didn't make a move for Barcelona, ​​but Donnarumma made a move for Villarreal.

Although the fans did not intentionally make the comparison, the gap is really too obvious!

After the game, Tang Ye returned to the court as the MVP player.

"Many fans think you will meet Barcelona in the final, but judging from the current situation, it seems difficult for Barcelona to get past Atletico. What do you think about this?"

"This……"

Tang Ye remained silent for a long time when facing the microphone handed to him by the reporter.

He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out what this problem had to do with him.

Take a look at Escriva on the side.

Tang Ye needs to think about it.

If it were Mr. Phelan, how would he answer this question?

Escriva saw Tang Ye looking at him with a surprised expression.

Damn!

After a whole season in Utrecht, I didn't learn anything, right?
"Tom?"

The reporter whispered a reminder.

"Oh"

Tang Ye reacted and quickly replied: "Whether it is Barcelona or Atletico Madrid, we will have a way to deal with it, but we should focus on the semi-finals now."

"Because the rule is that you can only qualify for the finals if you win the semifinals first."

Thinking of something, Tang Ye added: "But I might hope that Barcelona will win, because I have friends there."

Escriva, who was looking at the camera with a relaxed expression on his face, suddenly turned his head.

What do you mean Tom?

I have made things difficult for you before, so you don't need to take revenge on me now, right?

Between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, ​​it is definitely easier to play against Atletico Madrid!

……

On the return bus, Escriva and Rodrigo switched seats and sat next to Tang Ye.

In today's game, Villarreal defeated the home team Celta with a score of 3:0. This is a victory that needs to be celebrated.

But after the game, Tang Ye didn't seem very happy.

Obviously, there was something wrong with Tang Ye's thinking, and Escrivá now needs to correct his mistake!
The two chatted for a long time, and Escriva tried to explain to Tang Ye the greatness of a 3- shutout.

"I can see that you are feeling regretful right now, Tom. This is not how a winner should look."

Young players like Tang Ye are generally easily affected by emotions.

Players can only play their best when they are having fun and a little nervous.

There is no use in regretting, and Tang Ye has no reason to regret now.

"..."

"Mr. Phelan, I know what you mean, I have no regrets"

Tang Ye explained.

Again.

Mr. Phelan couldn't understand the challenges and difficulties Tom faced!

Escriva nodded, and just then his cell phone rang.

I quickly took out my phone and took a look.

Laliga official: Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid) won the La Liga Best Player of January, and Pellegrino (Alaves) won the La Liga Best Coach of January.

Tang Ye leaned over and looked at his head coach in surprise after seeing what was displayed on Escriva's phone: "Mr. Ferran, do you still pay attention to this kind of news?"

It is true that January's best player and January's best coach are very high honors for La Liga players, but there is no need to set a ringtone to pay special attention, right?

"Oh, you said this"

Escriva quickly cut off the screen: "I just follow the La Liga officials. You know, sometimes the officials will issue some announcements and as a coach, I need to know those things."

"Oh I see"

Tang Ye nodded.

Escriva put his phone back into his pocket, looked straight ahead, and then glanced at Tang Ye who was sitting in a daze in the chair.

should……

I should have believed it.

Escriva breathed a sigh of relief.

He is the head coach of Villarreal. The head coach should maintain a good image in front of the players.

To be honest, Escrivá doesn't really care about awards like Player of the Month.

"By the way, Tom."

Thinking of something, Escriva turned to look at Tang Ye beside him: "We are leading by a large margin in the first round, so there will be less pressure in the second round. We can focus on the league then. We actually have a chance to win the February Player of the Month award."

Before, Escriva thought that Villarreal would have to give up some La Liga games in February for the King's Cup.

But now things have changed a little.

Huang Qian had a 3-goal advantage in the first leg, which means that the pressure on them in the second leg will be much less.

Simply put, Villarreal does not need to give up the La Liga for the King's Cup.

They can have it both ways!

"that……"

Tang Ye touched his fingernails: "Mr. Feilan, I didn't ask about the best thing in February..."

"Oh?"

Escriva raised an eyebrow, then reached out to touch his nose.

"But it's okay, I'll try my best"

Tang Ye expressed his determination.

He won Player of the Month three times in the Eredivisie, but has not won it once since coming to La Liga. There is inevitably some gap between the two.

The suppression power of Melo in La Liga is really terrifying!

But it doesn't matter.

The La Liga in February has not started yet, so Tang Ye still has a great chance!

……

On the morning of the first day of resumption of training, the players performed strength training in the gym.

The players of Villarreal were divided into groups and trained by different physical coaches.

Tang Ye was trained personally by Kyle, the head of the physical training team.

The reason is simple. There is still a big gap between Tang Ye's strength and that of his teammates.

In most cases, Tang Ye is unable to share equipment with his teammates!

"Come on, don't be in a hurry, come out slowly"

"Thighs parallel to the ground, yeah, almost there, Tom, get ready."

"stand up!"

"duang!"

A crisp sound was heard, and Tang Ye pushed the barbell on his shoulders directly up.

"Well, that's enough, let's take a break first."

Kyle recorded Tang Ye's training data in a notebook, while Tang Ye found a stool to rest.

"Come on, Tom, you're not heavy enough."

Alai rolled up his shorts, tightened his thigh muscles and showed them to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye reached out to touch the muscles on Alai's thigh, and then touched his own.

"..."

"Ha ha"

Alai patted Tang Ye on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, just keep practicing. I didn't have much muscle when I was 17."

After saying that, Bruno urged Ale to go back and practice his core skills. Tang Ye sat on a small stool alone, thinking.

[Physical confrontation: 73 → 74]

[Overall rating: 80 → 81]

Oh?
Breakthrough!
really!

What Escrivá and Ten Hag had told him before was correct.

For Tang Ye now, improving physical fitness is much faster than improving his football skills.

Not to mention that Tang Ye also has chicken breast props to assist in training.

Not in a hurry to feel the improvement in his physical strength, Tang Ye first looked at his system.

Tang Ye (38 years old)
[Ball possession: 80; Passing: 88]

[Shots: 77; Headers: 48; Set-pieces: 74]

[Speed: 70; Endurance: 72; Physical Confrontation: 74]

[Defense: 70; Vision: 95]

Overall Rating: 81
Heading is not necessary, so ignore it for now.

Now the attributes of each of Tang Ye’s projects have reached 70 or 70+.

A very significant improvement!
Then there is the counterattack point balance.

Account balance: Counterattack points*3356
Previously, Tang Ye used 620 counterattack points to get [Casemiro's Gloves]. Next, to unlock the right to purchase new items, he will need 2000 counterattack points instead of 1240 points.

2000 counterattack points are indeed a bit expensive, so Tang Ye decided to wait a little longer.

If he saves the money until the end of this season, Tang Ye might have more than 1 counterattack points by the time the season is settled.

The props are just minor improvements. Tang Ye now no longer cares about those little things.

If you really want to make rapid progress, you have to rely on template infusion!
What is hard training?

There was a tearing pain on the top of his head, followed by a sudden increase in attribute points.

This is the most authentic hard training!
“A miracle from God”

In the corner, Kyle and Escrivá were looking at Tang Ye who was sitting on the bench in a daze.

Although I don’t know why Tang Ye suddenly clenched his fists, it doesn’t matter.

"I must remind you that he is not under God's jurisdiction"

Escrivá laughed, and Kyle spread his hands: "He has a high bone density and strong recovery ability. In addition, his special way of playing football makes him not easily injured... Ferran, I can't analyze whether a player is a genius like a youth training coach, but I can start from the perspective of a physical coach."

Kyle turned to look at Escribá: "Ferran, I have to tell you that a player with these physical characteristics has a very high ceiling. Although Tom has some character flaws, it would be great if he could be like Ronaldo..."

Kyle sighed, while Escrivá beside him kept his eyes on Tang Ye on the bench press.

Although he has changed to No. 10 jersey, this guy is still wearing a training suit with No. 99 on it.

According to Tang Ye's explanation, the new training suit had an unpleasant smell, so he had been wearing the old ones.

"Like Ronaldo?"

Escrivá raised his eyebrows: "I don't think it's necessary. Tom has a special personality, which is even helpful to the way he plays football now. If he was as passionate as Ronaldo, he might not play in midfield..."

"Kyle, you know, what we need is a midfielder. The impact of a top striker on a game is limited."

"Football tactics are too complicated. I took a B-level coaching certificate and then gave up."

Hearing Escrivá say these incomprehensible things, Kyle smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Anyway, based on my experience, players like Tom who have strong recovery abilities and are not prone to injuries have a very high ceiling."

"Phelan, I promise you that in two or three years, Tom can reach a very high standard. This is my experience. I watched Ronaldo transfer from Sporting CP to Manchester United, and then I came here."

As Kyle spoke, Escrivá stood nearby, staring into his eyes.

Escriva's expression was terribly stiff.

"Forehead……"

Well, Kyle suddenly remembered something bad.

"I'm sorry, Ferran, I didn't mean it."
