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

Chapter 202: King's Cup final at the Bernabéu Stadium? The Europa League knockout stage has begun!

The day after the match between Villarreal and Malaga, a piece of news attracted the attention of fans.

Laliga official: Taking into account the schedules of the participating teams, the King's Cup final will be held at 3:10 pm on March 7, and the neutral stadium will be the Bernabeu Stadium.

I originally thought that the La Liga officials would schedule the April league to March for the King's Cup, but I didn't expect them to simply schedule the final to March.

This is unprecedented in recent years.

Because there has never been a King's Cup final between the Champions League and Europa League teams!

However, if you look closely... the game time is not actually the highlight of the final.

What really needs attention is the venue of the competition.

The Spanish Football Association chose the Bernabeu over the two neutral stadiums of the Bernabeu and Calderon!

Is the Royal Submarine really going to be launched?

"We're going to play the final at the Bernabeu"

In the cafeteria that afternoon, Bruno was surprised and said, "Tom, we are really playing the final in March!"

"Tom?"

After shouting but getting no response from Tang Ye, Bruno turned his head away.

Tang Ye was sitting on his right, holding a mobile phone in his hand, and the thumbs of both hands were moving very quickly.

Bruno was curious, so he stuck his head out to look.

On the mobile phone screen, Tang Ye controlled Zidane, who was wearing a Villarreal jersey, and passed the ball straight into the penalty area.

The one who caught the ball was...

Alai!

Take a closer look.

Wow, Tang Ye is using Villarreal to play against Barcelona on his mobile phone.

Both teams used standard 11-man starting lineups, but the starting attacking midfielder for Villarreal was changed from Tang Ye to Zidane.

“Why don’t you play yourself?”

Bruno asked as he watched Tang Ye's manipulation.

"It hasn't been updated yet, and my current stat is 72, which is pretty rubbish."

As he said that, Ale made a cross to Sansone on the left.

Sansone then passed the ball back to Zidane at the top of the arc.

"Bruno, watch out!"

Tang Ye concentrated his attention.

Press and hold your right thumb to charge!
Then just knock on the door!

With a powerful shot from Zidane, Tang Ye opened the Barcelona goal defended by Ter Stegen.

This is a standard world wave!
"Damn, I finally won"

Tang Ye let out a long breath and put his phone on the table.

Thanks to Zidane's long shot, Tang Ye defeated the opponent using the Barcelona lineup with a score of 3:2.

Already won, but Tang Ye did not skip Zidane's celebration animation.

Because he wants to show his victory to his teammates at the dining table!

Rodri came over and read the settlement screen on Tang Ye's phone: "Villarreal 4:3 Barcelona...Haha, so this is the score of the final?"

Tang Ye nodded, and after showing it, he took the phone back: "I think it should be like this"

Rodri reached out and took the phone, looked at the starting lineup arranged by Tang Ye, and found that he, with a value of only 74 points, was also arranged in the lineup.

Moreover, Tang Ye used some unknown method to increase his value to 76!

"Rod, don't be fooled by Tom's game."

Musacchio laughed.

Although it was a bit funny that Tang Ye played against Barcelona in the game, he was still quite happy when he found out that Tang Ye had been using his teammates to play the game.

Rodri studied the content on Tang Ye's phone, then raised his head: "So we can beat Barcelona, ​​but... where can we find Zidane?"

"Ha ha!"

The other players at the table started joking, and Tang Ye was obviously stumped by Rodri's question.

Tang Ye defeated Barcelona in the game with 10 Villarreal starters + Zidane.

Even to beat Barcelona in the game, we need the help of Zidane.

So what should we do if we want to win in real life?

Are you really going to find a Zidane to start?
This is obviously not possible.

Thinking of this, the Villarreal players in the cafeteria suddenly fell silent.

Tang Ye sat alone in a chair, taking two bites of hamburger and a sip of Coke. He wanted to say something but couldn't.

"It's okay, just kick as hard as you can!"

Marty sat down at some point.

The Spanish Football Association scheduled the King's Cup final to March, which avoided Villarreal's busy April and May, but also brought new challenges to Villarreal.

Just do a simple calculation of the time and you will know.

There are less than 30 days left until the Copa del Rey final!

But Villarreal has only just completed its tactical adjustments not long ago, and some players have not yet fully adapted!

Marty doesn't know whether it is good or bad for Villarreal to have the final scheduled in March.

The players certainly didn't know either.

As for Escriva...

Villarreal's head coach was moved by the loyal fans a few days ago and is now working overtime in the office thinking about tactics for the Europa League match!

The fans are so loyal to the coach, and Escribá certainly wants to bring the best results to the fans.

Villarreal will fight for the league ranking, and their opponents in the King's Cup are a bit strong, but since they have come this far, of course they have to give it a try.

There is also the Europa League!
Villarreal's chances of winning the Europa League are even smaller than their chances of winning the Copa del Rey, but Villarreal's European mission this season is not to win the championship.

As long as they make it into the top eight, Villarreal will get a substantial bonus.

The top four would be even better!

Escriva takes the Europa League very seriously.

Because only when the team has saved enough money can it gain an advantage in the trade for Tang Ye in the summer!

……

Football Emperor event preview: In the first round of the Europa League 1/16 finals, Villarreal will face Roma at home, with Tang Ye and Dzeko leading the roster.

On the day of the game, a bus with yellow graffiti drove out of the team base and headed for the Ceramic Stadium in the city center.

"The rain blocking the road is like snowflakes, are you freezing while crying?"

"I'll give you this windbreaker, I've polished it to the point where it has a corsage~"

"You're not even afraid of being transferred, why are you still worried about me~~"

"Effortlessly selected..."

Tang Ye was listening to music with headphones on, and his body started shaking unconsciously.

At this time, Rodri next to him suddenly slapped his thigh.

Tang Ye turned around and found that everyone on the bus, including Escriva, was looking at him.

It was a bit embarrassing, so I quickly took off my headphones.

"F-Felix, what's wrong?"

"I need to say something before the game. If you want to listen to music, you'd better wait a moment."

Escriva said slowly, and Tang Ye moved quickly, stuffing his earphones directly into his pocket.

"Today we play against Roma, which is our first time playing in the Europa League this year. I told you yesterday that the opponent may be stronger than we thought, because I have seen that Roma's league results are very good."

"All I need to say now is that no matter what happens during the game, you just play according to the original tactics. If there are any changes, I will talk about them during halftime. Before that, there will be no tactical adjustments."

There is a huge difference between La Liga teams and Serie A teams. Escribá is afraid that Roma will come up with some strange tactics to disrupt Villarreal's rhythm.

In this kind of competition between high-level teams, if your rhythm is controlled by your opponent, losing is a foregone conclusion.

"We should maintain our own rhythm. If we don't know what rhythm to play at that time..."

When it came to the key point, Escriva suddenly paused.

The Villarreal players in the bus stared at the team coach in the middle of the aisle, and Tang Ye also pricked up his ears.

What should I do if I don’t know what rhythm to kick at that time?

This is an issue that Tang Ye is very worried about.

Tang Ye discovered that there was no player with a very obvious sense of rhythm in the Villarreal team, so he always felt like he lacked a reference in previous games.

"If you don't know what rhythm to kick at... follow Tom's lead."

After saying this, Escriva blushed and quickly slid to his seat and sat down.

"..."

Tang Ye sat in a chair and thought.

Glancing at Rodri on the side, he asked, "Why look at my rhythm? Do I have rhythm?"

"I do not know"

Rodri shook his head: "Anyway, I have always followed your pace. My value has increased 16 times."

what?
This……

……

"China Central Radio and Television! This is a live broadcast for you..."

"You can see that the starting players of both teams are already ready in the player tunnel!"

That’s right, it’s ready!

In the camera, Tang Ye rubbed his hands quickly in the player tunnel, and then began to shake his legs in place.

Opposite is the Italian team Roma.

This was Tang Ye's first time playing against Roma, and he didn't know any of the players on the opposing team.

Freshness and desire for victory, these are the reasons why Tang Ye is so passionate now!

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle in front, and the players from both teams took their caddies and slowly walked outside.

Tang Ye saw the team flags of Villarreal and Roma, and a UEFA Cup flag in the middle. If we talk about European competitions, the atmosphere at the beginning is really incomparable to that of regional cup competitions.

“You can see that the players from both teams are ready on the field!”

"The referee is looking at his watch!"

"Okay, the game begins!"

"Now let me introduce the starting lineups of both teams. First up is the home team Villarreal, wearing yellow jerseys and yellow shorts!"

"..."

"Number 10 is our rising star Tang Ye from China!"

"Then the visiting team Roma attacked from the left side of the screen to the right side of the screen"

Roma (3-4-2-1)

Goalkeeper: Alisson
Defenders: Rudiger, Fazio, Manolas

Midfield: Emerson, Strootman, De Rossi, Bruno Perez

Forwards: El Shaarawy, Dzeko, Nainggolan

The camera turned to an old man in a down jacket in front of the visiting team's bench.

This is Roma coach Spalletti.

When Escribá and Spalletti shook hands before the game, Escribá felt an inexplicable tightness in his heart.

The reason is simple.

Spalletti has no hair!

This is the same trait as the gentleman that Escriva admired the most!

I just wonder how close Spalletti is to that gentleman?
Not long after the game started, Roma launched a quick attack on the right side. Perez ran directly to the baseline, almost scaring the Villarreal fans in the stands to death.

"Watch the line! Watch the line!"

“Be conservative!”

Escrivá yelled from the sidelines.

The thing he was most worried about happened.

The unique tactical styles of the Italian and Spanish teams have brought a lot of pressure to the Villarreal players!
Snapped!
Perez's return pass found De Rossi, who then passed the ball to Nainggolan.

Although they had already brought the ball to the front court, Roma was not in a hurry to shoot.

They need to keep passing the ball to find better opportunities!

Tang Ye slowly retreated to the backcourt. His excellent visual memory allowed him to have a map of the player positions of Villarreal for the entire half.

The reason why Roma's attack is so sharp is mainly because almost all of their midfielders will participate in the frontcourt attack.

Now the Villarreal defense line is surrounded by Roma players!

The sounds of "pa pa pa" were heard intermittently. Roma's offensive players were passing the ball, while Villarreal's offensive players were trying every means to press.

There are a lot of people here, and there is a Shaarawi standing in front of Tang Ye!

Tang Ye pointed at Salah and asked Trigros to run over, while he ran towards De Rossi.

Neymar had told him last month when they were playing CSGO that if he was going to make a tackle his intentions must not be too obvious.

So Tang Ye’s speed is not fast.

De Rossi does not have the ball at his feet now, but Tang Ye roughly calculated the passing options of the Roma players.

Just like playing Go, you need to think a few more steps.

Ok……

The ball will definitely be passed to De Rossi's position in a while!

Tang Ye was very confident because he knew that his calculations would rarely go wrong!
Decisive, Ruiz's steal forced Dzeko to pass back.

The ball is given to De Rossi!
Here's the chance!

Just as De Rossi touched the ball, Tang Ye suddenly accelerated.

Decisive tackle on the ground!

"There's someone nearby!"

The teammates tried to remind him, but it was too late.

The frightened De Rossi jumped up quickly, and the ball on the grass was kicked out directly by Tang Ye.

The angle of the tackle had been observed in advance, and the ball tackled by Tang Ye fell right to Gaspar's feet.

"Pretty!"

"A very clean steal!"

"It's Tang Ye again!"

After several games, Tang Ye once again demonstrated his tackling ability.

Although the commentator doesn't know why Tang Ye always finds opportunities to tackle in the backcourt.

But never mind.

Just blow it anyway!

"hurry up!"

Villarreal's counterattack was launched, and Escrivá urged on the sidelines.

Gaspar got the ball and ran forward quickly!
Knowing that he was not fast, Gaspar passed the ball to Trigros who was a little ahead.

Trigros counterattacks with the ball!
"wow!!"

The fans in the stands stood up!

Now Villarreal has Ale at the front.

As long as the ball is given to Ale, with Ale's excellent one-on-one ability, this is basically a sure goal!

But how to give it to Alai?
Terry Gross now only hates himself for not being Tom.

If Tom were to pass the ball, it would just be a random pass!
do not care!
Pretend to be Tom!

Trigros mustered up his courage and kicked out with his right foot.

Snapped!
It was a through ball from Terry Gross!
but……

The pass was a bit lax and hit Fazio directly on the head.

No chance?

wrong!

The ball bounced back and landed directly in front of Fazio.

After reacting, Ale accelerated again and ran forward!

This is a one-on-one pass from the Roma defender to the Villarreal center forward!
"oh!!!"

Goalkeeper Alisson ran out and made a "K" shape with his body at the moment when Haller shot.

It depends on luck to save the one-on-one shot!

But Alisson's luck is obviously not very good today!
"GGGG-OOOOOO-LLLLLL!!!"

"The ball is in!"

"Pretty!"

"In the 12th minute of the game, Allais scored the first goal with a single shot"

"This goal was scored with a little bit of drama, Fazio's focus was on Alai, he didn't notice the ball had hit his head"

"Yes, if Fazio had looked back, he might have headed the ball out."

Trigros accidentally caused a fatal mistake by the Roma defender.

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye ran towards Trigros: "Great, Manu!"

Terry Gross spread his arms and shouted.

Through this pass, he once again felt the terrifying power of the little golden boy in the team, and at the same time he was inspired by himself.

Tang Ye is so good, so when he plays football, can't he just pretend to be Tang Ye and take off?
Dongqiudi real-time battle report: In the 12th minute, Trigros' long pass led to an own goal assist from Fazio, and Allais scored with a single shot, and Villarreal led 1:0 at home!

[The name Tang Ye is not even in the battle report, and the staff of Dongqiudi will not have pig's trotters in the pig's trotter rice tonight]

[Fazio is really amazing, haha! ]

[If this ball was given to Tang Ye, it would have gone directly to Alai's feet, but it was passed to Fazio's head, which was also considered awesome by Trigros.]

【Wasn’t Roma’s confidence destroyed by this wave?】

Ale's one-on-one goal may seem like just a one-on-one goal, but it is actually much more than that.

Because of this own goal assist, Fazio's condition throughout the game was destined to be not very good!
There will be big loopholes in Roma's backcourt defense today!
"Yellow submarine yellow submarine～(yellow submarine)"

“And our friends are all aboard～(Our friends all live in it)”

“Many more of them live next door～”

"Villarreal!"

"Villarreal!"

Facing the strong team Roma from Serie A, they scored a goal before 15 minutes into the first half.

This is something worth celebrating.

The home fans are very passionate now!
"Villarreal's first goal showed momentum and stability on both the defensive and offensive ends, which is a headache for Roma right now."

"If they can't get back on track in the next game, I think Roma will be further away from victory."

The camera turns to Spalletti.

After Villarreal scored a goal, the Roma coach immediately called the nearest players to the sidelines.

"When attacking, press the back waist forward!"

"You have to be decisive when passing the ball. Think before you control the ball. Can you control the ball now? Then you can control the ball."

"Let's go!"

"Remember, if their No. 10 pushes forward, find a way to push him back!"

Walking past the side, Tang Ye seemed to hear the word "ten", which means "10" in English.

Looking at Spalletti, Tang Ye shook his head.

Are you talking about yourself?

Tang Ye really wanted to know what Spalletti had just said.

What a pity! If I had known that I could hear the opposing coach speak, I should have used the counterattack points to buy both Italian Proficiency and English Proficiency before the game started!
