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

Chapter 203 Tang Ye takes on Rudiger at the bottom line, Roma’s counterattack!
"Watch the sides!"

"You can pass it on now! You can pass it on now!"

Leading by one goal did not allow Escribá to relax, and he still maintained his command over the players on the field.

Of course, Escrivá mainly serves as a reminder.

How to operate specifically depends on the players on the field!

Focus on Tang Ye.

Escriva was quick to judge.

Tom is in pretty good condition right now.

Then the reason is very clear, there won’t be any major problems in this game in the short term!

In the 20th minute of the game, the live broadcast room showed the ball possession data of both teams.

VCF: 58%
ROM: 42%
The difference in ball possession rate is not much, and Villarreal has a slight advantage due to their tacit understanding in passing as a Spanish team.

Escriva thought about it carefully and quickly made his judgment.

"Don't be too focused on controlling the ball. Pass the ball to the middle! To the front!"

It was said in a rather euphemistic way, but the players all understood what Escrivá meant.

middle!

And it’s in front!
Is there any need to ask? It's impossible to pass the ball directly to the center in the penalty area.

Then it can only be the attacking midfielder!

It's Tom!

Musacchio ran forward with the ball alone. At this time, Shalawi, who was retreating, wanted to intercept him, but was directly knocked away by Musacchio's body.

Although he is not fast, as a central defender, Musacchio has excellent impact ability!
It just so happened that Tang Ye was in an open position again, and Musacchio was ready to pass the ball.

"Give it to him, give it to him!"

Tang Ye pointed at Trigros and rejected Musacchio's pass.

Musacchio passed the ball to Trigros on the right, and Tang Ye started running towards the right baseline.

Bakambu moved towards the middle!
This is the latest offensive coordination method after Villarreal’s tactical adjustment in January.

The opposing defensive player keeps staring at Tang Ye, so let the winger cross positions with Tang Ye to provide cover.

Normally, a central midfielder might feel a little awkward when he comes to the wing, but not Tom.

Instead he will become excited.

Because his favorite thing is to pretend to be a striker!

Snapped!
Trigros' through ball brushed the right sideline and rolled forward.

Tang Ye ran forward following the ball!

Rudiger is in front!

With the help of [Zidane Rhythm Control Template], Tang Ye easily adjusted his running speed after controlling the ball.

It is no longer the first touch of the ball, which means that Tang Ye will not pass the ball for the time being unless it is a particularly good opportunity.

"Tang Ye, challenge Rudiger at the baseline!"

"Rudiger is very tall, which will be a challenge for Tang Ye"

"He may need to seek help from a teammate..."

Rudiger is very confident now. It is well-known in the global football world that the Villarreal golden boy cannot dribble past opponents.

Asking Rudiger to defend a midfielder who can't dribble past the defense, wouldn't that be easy?
Of course Tang Ye didn't think about passing the ball. He just stayed where he was, waiting for his teammates to support him.

As a result, Rudiger was very pretentious.

He actually tried to stretch his leg towards Tang Ye!

Depend on!
If it were the case in the past, Tang Ye might have chosen to pass the ball back directly when faced with such an opportunity.

But the Tang Ye now is no longer the Tang Ye of the past.

He has the [Zidane Rhythm Control Template] on him.

Although it is not a purely extraordinary template, it is still a legendary template after all!
With the ability to fight with both hands...

Well, Tang Ye felt that he could give it a try.

Push the ball forward with your left foot, in front of Rudiger.

Sure enough, the big guy thought Tang Ye couldn't dribble past him, so he just stretched out his foot.

At this time, Tang Ye pressed the pause button and his body suddenly paused.

After the pause was cancelled, Tang Ye passed the ball from his left foot to his right foot.

Run straight to the baseline.

!!!

Anxious Rudiger turned back to defend, unaware that his body was now tangled.

Directly, fell to the ground ↑

Haha!

Tang Ye was very happy, as Rudiger's fall meant he had enough time to run forward.

"Ugh! Tang Ye!"

"Pretty!"

"The fake move near the baseline fooled Rudiger!"

"Oh my God, Tang Ye directly knocked Rudiger down!"

"Go forward on your own!"

"Pass the ball!"

Tang Ye passed the ball into the penalty area after going down the bottom line.

The goal was very high and was tailor-made for Allais.

In the restricted area!
Alai jumps up!
boom!
A direct header to score the goal!
"GGGGG-OOOOOO-LLLLLL!!!!"

"The ball is in!"

"Header from Alai!"

“This attack came from Tang Ye’s blast against Rudiger near the baseline!”

Ale scored twice and the score became 2:0!

Villarreal leads by 2 goals at home!
"Roar--!!!!"

Alai ran towards the right corner flagpole.

Alai's position was actually close to the left side of the penalty area, but he was going to run towards the corner flag on the right.

Because the right side is Tom's position!
Tom is there!

"VAMOS!"

The Spanish team's unique celebration style shocked the Italians in the stands.

[You get counterattack points*10]

If I remember correctly, this was Tang Ye's first real breakthrough.

Eat alone face to face!

Just shouting is not enough!
Tang Ye let go of his teammates’ hands and slipped back to the visiting team’s stands.

"VAMOS!!"

clap clap clap!
This is applause from Escriva.

He knew that his feeling just now was correct.

When Tom sets the team's rhythm, the next few minutes will definitely be stable!
After looking at the large camera in the stadium and confirming that it was not looking at him, Escrivá went directly to the visiting team's bench.

Look at what Spalletti is like now.

The old Italian man was wearing a blue suit and had no expression on his face.

But Escrivá could see Spalletti's inner panic.

In fact, Villarreal was not supposed to be so strong compared to Roma, but defender Fazio made a fatal mistake just over 10 minutes into the game.

It was because of this mistake that Roma’s momentum was completely destroyed.

Just as the players were walking towards their own half, Villarreal's goal was replayed on the big screen in the stadium.

The clip of Tang Ye taking on Rudiger alone was once again shown to the fans.

"Tom!"

"Tom!"

The fans shouted Tang Ye's name.

Amazing Tom!

[Ai Sheng is really awesome. He directly cultivated Tang Ye's extraordinary attributes.]

【Classic attacking midfielder! 】

[What is the classic attacking midfielder? The future attacking midfielder! Tang Qiuwang is going to create a new attacking midfielder style]

[Rudiger is really bad]

[What kind of dish is this? Rudiger is the best central defender in the world. Don’t you understand, kid?]

Although Rudiger is the world's best central defender, defending a top-notch dribbling and ball-controlling midfielder like Tang Ye is indeed a bit beyond his ability.

Rudiger has tried his best!

Spalletti made some simple tactical adjustments, and after the third goal of the first half, Roma began to counterattack against Villarreal.

Going into the halftime break with a 2-goal deficit was definitely not a good thing for the players' mentality.

The time came to the 38th minute of the first half.

Spalletti asked the frontcourt players to increase the intensity of their pressing, and this decision helped Roma increase their possession of the ball.

Now it depends on whether Roma can do something with the help of their ball possession rate!

Snapped!
Tang Ye's cross was given to Alai again, but the quality of this cross was very average and was directly confiscated by the jumping goalkeeper Alisson.

Alisson threw the ball to Rudiger.

At this time, Rudiger, who was hailed as the world's best central defender by Chinese fans, kicked the ball directly to the front court.

Dzeko headed the ball to Nainggolan, who then passed the ball back to Dzeko.

"Wow!"

At this time, the fans suddenly burst into screams. Dzeko took the ball and turned around, then suddenly accelerated and directly got rid of Ruiz who was defending him.

Many centers are very tall, look dull and don’t seem to be very agile.

But you can't ignore their speed!
Bolt is also 1 meters tall!
Dzeko ran forward with the ball himself.

The fans are under a lot of pressure now!

Dzeko has not entered the penalty area yet, and Musacchio wants to come over to defend.

Dzeko looked back and pushed the ball before Musacchio could defend.

!!!

Asenho quickly sat down where he was!
Dzeko's shot flew in between Asenjo's arms and thighs. The ball...went in!
Roma players began their celebration on the field.

"My day..."

Tang Ye reached out to grab his hair.

It’s really fierce…

Although football is not as height-reliant as basketball, the advantage of a 1-meter-tall guy on the court is still too obvious.

Dzeko is not only tall, but also very accurate in shooting!

Rodri happened to be right next to Tang Ye, and Tang Ye stretched out his hand and high-fived his younger brother Rodri.

Looking around, Tang Ye shook his head.

In fact, he really hopes that Bruno is present. If captain Bruno is present, he will definitely encourage the players on the field.

But Bruno’s ankle injury has just healed and he wasn’t even included in the match roster today!

Villarreal's players have to rely on themselves!
"xuuu!!!"

After a goal was scored, the fans in the away team's stands became extremely arrogant, and in the end they started to curse at each other with the fans in the home team's stands.

"Roma!"

“xuuuu——!!!”

"Tom!"

“Great!”

The stadium was very lively in the last few minutes of the first half.

The stands were noisy and the scene on the field was quite chaotic.

The players of Roma and Villarreal were obviously playing a little anxiously.

At this time, Tang Ye's advantage was reflected. He was the only one on the court whose rhythm did not change from beginning to end.

He is basically not affected by the situation in the stands or the score on the field.

Even his teammates find it difficult to influence him!
Trigros passed by the Villarreal bench with the ball, and Escrivá quickly reminded the players on the field: "Look at Tom!"

"Don't mess up the rhythm, follow Tom's rhythm!"

Although he didn't know why Tang Ye could keep his rhythm steady, Escrivá was used to it now.

There are some things that a head coach of my level simply cannot understand.

There is no need to study.

Now all Escribá needs to do is find a way to make Villarreal players keep up with Tom's rhythm!
Tang Ye on the field was also in a daze. He seemed to hear Escriva calling his name.

But when he turned his head to signal Escrivá to say it again, Escrivá blushed and turned his head away.

Touching his head, Tang Ye didn't quite understand what Escriva meant.

If you want to do something, please speak up!
Mr. Phelan, are you serious about turning your head away?

"Beep!!!"

Fortunately, the first half of the game is over!
call……

Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

If he continued the game without knowing how the team adjusted its tactics, he wouldn't know how to play next.

He will ask Mr. Phelan for clarification during the half-time break!
"The first half of the game is over, and Villarreal is currently leading the visiting team Roma with a score of 2:1!"

"At the beginning of the game, Roma defender Fazio made a serious mistake, which caused the team's morale to drop. However, we also saw that as one of the traditional strong teams in the top five leagues, Roma players adjusted their mentality quite quickly."

"They scored a goal before the end of the first half!"

Two CCTV commentators briefly analyzed the current situation.

After scoring a goal, Roma players gradually found their form and their ball possession rate increased.

If the situation remains the same in the second half, then Roma has a high probability of equalizing the score!
It depends on what Huang Qian will do next!

The players rushed to the player tunnel, and Tang Ye walked beside Rodri: "Rod, do you know what Mr. Ferran said?"

Tang Ye was worried that the coach would say something if he took the initiative to look for Escriva, so he decided to ask Rodri first.

Seeing that Rodri didn't seem to react, Tang Ye added: "It was when the game was about to end."

Rodri shook his head.

At the end of the first half, Escribá spoke very quickly and Rodri had no idea what Tang Ye was saying.

"All right"

Tang Ye lowered his head and walked into the passage: "I feel like I should have some tasks in the second half. Mr. Ferran seemed to have called my name."

Tang Ye now has a strong sense of mission in his heart.

If nothing unexpected happens, Escribá will ask him to make a contribution to the team's overall tactics in the second half.

Clenching his right fist, Tang Ye was already looking forward to the second half of the game.

Of course he is willing to sacrifice himself for the team!
“We need to keep up with Tom’s pace”

In the locker room, Escriva spoke rapidly.

"There are problems with our team's overall tactics at the moment, so we need to make some efforts to get closer to Tom's rhythm. The closer the better."

"This is very important. The opponent is trying to disrupt our rhythm. We can't let them succeed like this!"

Rodri turned his head and looked at Tang Ye beside him.

Tang Ye also turned his head.

The two men looked at each other, and Tang Ye touched his nose.

Someone is indeed going to sacrifice.

But not me.

"I must emphasize to you that a 2:1 advantage is nothing. We cannot give our opponents any chances."

"Dense defense, you must do dense defense. And when attacking, look at Tom's position more often. If Tom is stuck, remember to go up and help!"

Huang Qian exposed many problems in the first half of the game, and now Escribá needs to highlight these problems one by one.

There was a smile on Tang Ye's face.

He likes the feeling that his teammates play along with him.

"correct!"

Suddenly remembering something, Escriva extended his right index finger: "There is one more thing I need to emphasize, when defending, especially when returning to defense."

"Don't ever try to follow Tom's rhythm when defending, or we'll be doomed!"

Tang Ye suddenly raised his head.

Mr. Phelan, you...

……

"Welcome back, dear audience friends!"

“Here is the second leg of the Europa League match between Villarreal and Roma!”

"You can see that the second half of the game has begun!"

A one-goal lead is indeed not a very big advantage, and the commentators and fans are still in a relatively excited state.

Villarreal's Copa del Rey has reached the final.

I just don't know if the European Union can...

Forget it, there are too many strong teams in the Europa League, so let’s not expect to reach the final for now.

Let’s win the knockout round of 32 first!
Rome is not an easy opponent to deal with!
Escrivá folded his arms across his chest and stared at the court with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Not surprisingly, Spalletti made some tactical adjustments.

In the second half, Roma began to adopt high pressure!

This is a tactic that many La Liga teams like to use when facing Villarreal.

Keep the damn ball firmly locked in Villarreal’s backcourt, so that Tom in front won’t have any chance to touch the ball!

The 56th minute of the game!

After controlling the ball in the frontcourt for a long time, Roma finally found a good attacking opportunity.

boom!
Nainggolan passed the ball straight to the right bottom line!

Midfielder Perez decisively moved forward to get the ball!
In order to prevent Perez from having the opportunity to pass the ball directly, Perez decisively chased after him.

Little did he know that he had fallen into Rome's trap!
After running to the front and grabbing the ball, Perez stepped on the ball and pulled it back.

Manolas, who came from behind, caught the ball.

Adjust one step!
A 45-degree cross directly into the penalty area!
!!!

broken!

Tang Ye switched perspective and imagined himself as Manolas.

He has a poor judgement of where the ball will land, but as a passer, he can see it from Manolas' perspective.

If I were in Manolas' position, who would he pass the ball to?
"Look at No. 92!"

Tang Ye shouted, and Ruiz, who was defending No. 9 Dzeko in the penalty area, was stunned for a moment.

Manolas' 45-degree cross was passed to El Shaarawy at the back post.

El Shaarawy is the number 92!
broken!

Tang Ye really wanted to go up and tackle the ball away from Salah, but he was too far away from Salah.

Salah gently pushed the ball forward!
Let your body move forward!

Shoot directly!

With a "bang", the long shot from the Roma midfielder flew in between Musacchio and Dzeko.

duang!

Salah's shot hit the left post of the goal!

Bounce back!

Over Dzeko's head!
Strootman ran up, unloaded the rebounding ball at his feet, and then passed it to Dzeko in the penalty area.

Dzeko!

Get the ball with your back to the basket!

Withstand the pressure from Musacchio!
Turn around!

The advantage of having no weak-footed center forward was clearly evident at this time.

Use whichever foot works best!

boom!
"GGGG-OOOOO-LLLLL!!!"

"The ball is in!"

"Dzeko's goal!"

It wasn't a perfect coordination, but Roma still launched the attack.

They equalized the score away from home!
Villarreal lost the advantage they accumulated in the first half!
