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

Chapter 206: League double victory over Real Sociedad, Villarreal’s fourth win in February!
"Bakambu!"

"Just run forward with the ball!"

Bakambu fully demonstrated his speed ability.

Bakambu's speed ranks among the top three in the Villarreal team, and now is the time when he needs to show his speed the most!
Run to the gap in front!
Belchiche comes running!
Tang Ye first moved to the right. His original plan was to slip from behind Bakambu to the right baseline.

But Bakambu ran a little too fast and Tang Ye couldn't keep up.

It would be too late to go there now.

Then go grab a spot at the top of the arc!
"here!"

Rodri shouted.

He knew that Tang Ye would want to be at the top of the arc, and Villarreal's youth training midfielder had already occupied the top of the arc.

Just waiting for big brother to come!
Very comfortable!
Immersed in the game, Tang Ye felt that he had entered a good rhythm.

Just at this time, Bakambu cooperated with Trigros to pass Belchiche.

Run into the penalty area with the ball!

The ball can be passed directly to the top of the arc from this position, so Bakambu looked towards the top of the arc first.

Tang Ye placed his right hand on his waist, with his palm facing Bakambu.

Don't pass the ball yet!
Although I don't know why Tang Ye doesn't want this ball, but since Tang Ye doesn't want it, Bakambu will just take the ball into the penalty area by himself.

Bakambu did a bicycle kick and the central defender in the penalty area did not move. Instead, Illarramendi behind Tang Ye suddenly accelerated and rushed in front of Tang Ye.

He thought Bakambu raised his foot to pass the ball to Tang Ye!
In fact, Tang Ye had already discovered that there was an Illarramendi who was eyeing him eagerly behind him, so he rejected Bakambu's pass at the first opportunity.

Now Illarramendi has run out.

This is Tom's chance!
"Come!"

Tang Ye pointed to the empty space on his left. Bakambu did not dare to hesitate and passed the ball directly with an inverted triangle.

Tang Ye's original intention was to let Bakambu pass the ball to the front left of him, so that he could shoot directly without any adjustment.

But unfortunately, Bakambu didn't have time to think about Tang Ye's thoughts. He only knew that he needed to pass the ball to Tang Ye's feet, and the ball could not be touched by the defensive players while rolling.

So Bakambu passed the ball very quickly!

Tang Ye quickly stretched out his foot to control the ball!
Illarramendi caught up, and Tang Ye quickly turned around to protect the ball!

Tang Ye had no way to turn around now, so he decisively passed the ball back to Rodri.

"Give it to the front!"

Rodri adjusted his move and lifted the ball into the penalty area.

Ale jumped high and used his head to hit the ball into the small penalty area.

boom!
The ball hit the grass and bounced right in front of Bakambu.

Bakambu quickly squatted down and headed the ball directly into the penalty area!

"The ball is in!"

"Alai assists Bakambu!"

"1:0, Villarreal, who is playing away, is leading!"

There were countless boos from the stands.

The home team fans were obviously unhappy with Bakambu's goal.

Real Sociedad has lost to Villarreal three times this season, twice away and once at home.

Today's home game is the last game between Real Sociedad and Villarreal this season.

Are we going to lose this game too?

Coach Eusevio lowered his head.

In fact, Real Sociedad’s defense was quite good just now.

But compared to the last encounter, Escrivá has improved the team's tactics.

Ai Sheng is still as strong as ever!
To be honest, Eusevio feels a little guilty now.

If he could be as good as Escriva, perhaps Real Sociedad would not have lost to Villarreal three times this season!

“Today is fine”

After the celebration, Escrivá returned to his seat.

Take a look at the data displayed on Marty's laptop.

So far, the running distances of Villarreal's midfielders and forwards, except for center forward Haller, are almost the same, which shows that everyone is moving towards a unified rhythm.

What is rhythm?
This is Tom's rhythm!
wrong!

To be precise, this is the rhythm of Villarreal under Tom's leadership!

The first half of the game continues.

Real Sociedad is actually quite strong and launched a fierce attack on Villarreal after falling behind by one goal.

Their attack finally produced considerable results!
"Go forward!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Left! Look to the left!"

"You can transmit it now!"

Eusevio quickly formed seals with his hands like a ninja.

No one could understand his gestures.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as you can understand what is being said.

Zurutusa found the right opportunity and passed the ball to the left-back Belchiche.

Belchiche decisively chose to cross the ball!

Snapped!
Well, this is a very difficult ground pass!
In the penalty area, Juanmi rushed in from behind Musacchio.

Just hit the ball directly!

Asenho's hand touched the ball, but the goal still went in.

After completing the shot, Juanmi and Asenho collided with each other.

"Beep!"

The referee first pointed to the center circle to indicate that the ball was valid, and then quickly ran into the penalty area to check the situation.

"Hey, Asenho doesn't seem to be in good condition..."

"Villarreal's second goalkeeper is already wearing gloves, the team doctor will come on the field to take a look at the situation first"

The Villarreal players on the field ran quickly towards the penalty area. Tang Ye stood behind Ale and stretched his head to look forward.

Asenho's eye corner was scratched by Juanmi and some blood came out.

"That is not bad……"

Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Asenho doesn't have any major problems, but because of his obstructed vision, he definitely can't continue the game.

"how's it going?"

Sansone put his hand on Tangye's shoulder.

“I feel OK, but I’m bleeding.”

The team doctor gave Asenho simple treatment and then took him off the court.

Asenho's injury needs to be taken care of after the game.

Now the task of the Villarreal players on the field is to play the rest of the game well.

Tang Ye was chewing gum in his mouth. The sudden draw was a little hard for him to accept.

"It's fine"

Alai touched Tang Ye's head and said, "We have the advantage, we can win."

Football Emperor real-time report: Juanmi scored a goal and Real Sociedad equalized the score. Villarreal goalkeeper Asenjo was injured and left the field.

This is Barboza's first appearance in the league this season. Let's see how he performs!

The first half is over and the game enters the second half!
"Txuri-urdin Txuri-urdin maitea~"

"Txuri-urdin Txuri-urdin Aurrera~"

The fans sang the Real Sociedad's team song, and the home advantage was fully demonstrated at this time.

At this time, the away fans still wanted to resist, and several people shouted "Villarreal" together, but the next second boos were heard on the field.

"Villarreal"

“xuuuuu——!!!”

The taunting is full!
I can’t imagine what the opponent’s expressions would be like if we lost this game!
The game was in the 68nd minute of the second half!

With the experience of the first half, Real Sociedad has now found some feeling. The repeated attacks from the flanks made Villarreal very uncomfortable.

At this time, Escriva made his second substitution of the game.

Captain Bruno came on as a substitute and took over the captain's armband from Musacchio!
"come on!"

Bruno's appearance made Tang Ye feel at ease. Bruno ran to the venue and high-fived Tang Ye along the way: "Come on, come on!"

“Cheer up!”

"Focus, focus!"

correct!

That's what it feels like!

Tang Ye rubbed his hands and felt that the overall momentum of the team was different after Bruno came on.

Tom's rhythm!
Bruno's spirit!

This is the strongest form of Yellow Submarine!

The game continued into the 71st minute amid the singing of the home team fans!

"Go forward, go forward!"

Escriva directed Rodri to advance.

While running, Rodri looked up in the direction of Tang Ye.

At this time, Escrivá shouted loudly on the sidelines: "Don't be in a hurry!"

Rodri turned his head sharply.

Damn, Ferran, how do you know what I want to do!
Focusing on the ball at his feet, Rodri quickly moved forward.

Bruno accelerated and rushed to the frontcourt. Rodri wanted to seek advice from Tang Ye on how to pass the ball, but Tang Ye was now trapped by Illarramendi and could not get away.

Now that my elder brother is not here, I can only rely on myself.

Rodri imitated Tang Ye, looking left and right, while breathing heavily.

"Oh shit!" Escriva stared at Rodri on the court.

This feeling!

Is Villarreal going to produce another genius?

After thinking, Rodri gently pushed the ball to Bruno who was on the right.

Escrivá: ...

"Bruno holds the ball, Tang Ye is in front"

"Royal Sociedad pays great attention to the defense of Tang Ye..."

"Neither Illarramendi nor Sulutusa left!"

It was clear now that Tom was trapped.

If Villarreal wants to continue attacking, they must rescue Tom!

"here!"

Sansone took the initiative to move to the outside of the arc, and Tang Ye pretended to make a cross-run with Sansone.

When Illarramendi's body center of gravity moved, Tang Ye's body suddenly paused, then turned around and walked directly to the right!
boom!
Bruno passed the ball gently to Tang Ye's feet.

Tang Ye grabbed the ball and ran to the baseline!

He had to run fast, or Sulutusa would catch him from behind!
When he reaches the right position, the opposing defender wants to steal the ball.

It was a rare attacking opportunity, and Tang Ye decided not to protect the ball and kicked the ball to Bakambu on the right.

Then move towards Bakambu's position!

After getting the ball, Bakambu faced off against Belchiche near the baseline, and Tang Ye staggered around behind Bakambu.

Don't rush to catch the ball, take a look into the penalty area first.

Now you can catch the ball.

Tang Ye stretched out his hand, and Bakambu did a few bicycle kicks and then suddenly made a straight pass to the baseline.

Tang Ye ran forward.

Take another look at the penalty area!
Snapped!
[De Bruyne crosses from the bottom level 3: simulation]

Proficiency: 101/400
“Oh!!”

The fans are under a lot of pressure!

Look at Tang Ye’s cross!

In the penalty area, Haller got rid of Navas, ran to the landing point, and directly headed the ball into the goal with his knee.

"The ball is in!"

"Let's see if it's offside..."

"The linesman didn't raise it, the ball was perfect!"

"2:1!"

"Villarreal takes the lead again!"

Tang Ye's wide field of vision enables him to have excellent offside line judgment ability.

It’s a different story in the backcourt because the view is blocked.

When Tang Ye goes down the wing, he will basically never make mistakes in judging the offside line!
He knows the positions of his teammates and opponents the moment he passes the ball!

"Vamos!"

Villarreal's coordinated attack successfully made the home team fans anxious.

Looking at the angry faces of the home team fans in the stands, the Villarreal players felt indescribably relieved.

“They shouldn’t be so arrogant.”

Tang Ye and A Lai said.

[You get counterattack points*10]

Now the score is 2:1, Villarreal is leading by 1 goal.

Tang Ye felt that he had found his form.

Then he will score more goals next!
Completely defeat Real Sociedad!

"Tom!"

At this time, Bakambu suddenly shouted loudly to Tang Ye.

"What's wrong Cedric?"

Tang Ye turned his head and looked towards the player tunnel in the direction of Bakambu's finger.

He was substituted!

Um...okay.

Tang Ye touched his nose and quickly ran to the bench, where Trigros and Escrivá were waiting for him.

Snapped!
After high-fiving Trigros, Escrivá came over immediately.

"The match against Roma is coming up soon, I need you to have enough rest..."

"I know Mr. Phelan"

“Oh, that’s good.”

Escrivá patted Tang Ye on the back and said: "You played very well today."

"I will play well against Roma."

Tang Ye added, and then flipped directly from the first row of the bench to his seat in the second row.

……

Football Emperor's report: Villarreal beat Real Sociedad 2:1, Tang Ye made a wonderful interception and assist.

[Cold Fact: Real Sociedad has never beaten Villarreal this season and was defeated four times! ]

[Hot Knowledge: Yellow Submarine has not lost so far this month]

After this game, Villarreal got their fourth victory in all competitions in February and also their third consecutive victory in the league.

Compared with the league in January, fans can intuitively feel the improvement in Villarreal's strength after the tactical adjustment.

Huang Qian used new tactics to resolve the targeting of Tang Ye by other teams!

When they think of this, the fans have a heartfelt admiration for Escrivá.

In his first season in office, he adjusted the team's main tactics halfway through the league.

And it succeeded in the end!
Previously in China, there has been controversy over whether Escriva should be called Esheng or Ehai.

But now it seems that the dispute has been resolved.

Escriva has only one name.

That is……

Ferran Santo Escriva!

……

Click, click, click!

The sound of camera shutters could be heard continuously in the press room.

The subject they filmed was Escrivá, who was sitting on the stage holding a microphone.

This is the protagonist of today's game!
"Ferran, we have seen the adjustments you made to the team's tactics. The new tactics have brought great improvement to Villarreal. You have won against strong teams in the league such as Sevilla and Real Sociedad."

Escrivá did not speak in a hurry. He just sat in the chair and listened to the reporter carefully.

It was a pleasure for him.

If nothing unexpected happens, after today's game, there will be more than half fewer fans criticizing him online!
"You will face Real Madrid in the next round of the league. You achieved a draw against Real Madrid in the away game in the first half of the league. Do you have anything to say about the upcoming second encounter?"

The press room fell silent.

Now it's time for Escriva to speak.

hiss--

Quickly catch your breath.

Villarreal's form started to improve in February, but they happened to play against Real Madrid this month.

How to play against Real Madrid is not an easy question to answer.

"I admit that Real Madrid is very strong, I felt it when we first met. But I think we also have strong players in our team. I will let him rest well and he will be ready."

"he?"

What key information did the reporters in the audience capture?

“Oh, it’s them.”

"We have many strong players who can compete with Real Madrid," Escribá explained.

……

Relevo: The match between Villarreal and Real Madrid will directly affect the competition for the top three in La Liga. If Villarreal wins the match, Barcelona will likely overtake Real Madrid to become the first in the league standings. "This is because they have a better goal difference."

Attached is the La Liga standings (Round 23)
1. Real Madrid, 59 points.

2. Barcelona, ​​56 points

3. Villarreal, 53 points

4. Sevilla, 46 points.

5. Atletico Madrid, 45 points.

6. Real Sociedad, 41 points.

Real Madrid is trying to widen the gap with Barcelona, ​​so as Relevo said, the match between Villarreal and Real Madrid will directly determine the situation in the standings.

However, for Villarreal, there is no need to rush their match with Real Madrid for the time being.

The most important thing right now is the second round of the Europa League knockout match against Roma.

They are going to reach the round of 16 in the Europa League!
……

Coming off the excitement of the league double win over Real Sociedad, Escriva knew he could no longer read the fans' comments.

There have been so many fans praising him online recently that the Spaniard has become a little overwhelmed.

Escriva enjoys this atmosphere of public opinion, but he also knows that as the team coach, he must not start enjoying it before the end of the season.

In the first leg, Villarreal beat Roma 4:3, which was a good start, but if you look closely, Roma was only one goal behind.

The Italian gladiators will make a comeback in the second leg at home!

Escriva is sure of it!
This is the challenge Villarreal needs to face!
