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

Chapter 214: Direct free kick scored, 39th birthday gift is here!
"Tom!"

"Tom!"

The fans in the stands were shouting Tang Ye's name, while Flores put his hands in his pockets, staring at Tang Ye and Bruno behind the top of the arc.

It's almost 80 minutes now. If Villarreal had scored this free kick, Espanyol would almost lose the chance to equalize the score.

So, no matter whether it is Tang Ye or Bruno who plays, they will not be able to score a goal!

"Huh, huhu..."

Tang Ye was quickly adjusting his breathing.

Although the fans were shouting his name, Tang Ye was unable to hear them because he was deep in thought.

He was thinking about how to deal with this set-piece opportunity.

Shoot directly or pass to teammates?

In the end, Tang Ye made his choice and gave Bruno a thumbs up with his right hand behind his back.

The referee blew the whistle and Bruno ran out!
"Here we go, Bruno!"

"Just jump over it! This is fake!"

The two CCTV commentators held their breath, and when Bruno jumped over the ball, Tang Ye started running forward.

At this time, the Spanish penalty area was in complete chaos!
Tang Ye!

Find the gap between Reyes and Duarte!

With the help of the rotation of [Ward-Prowse's free kick template], he pushed it directly.

It is true that Ward-Prowse's free kick template is an indirect free kick, but this is not a fixed rule. Tang Ye can also use the topspin technique to shoot directly!

Snapped!
The ball is very fast and spins very fast!
The highest point is just above Reyes' head when he jumps.

Then descend!

The goalkeeper stood there motionless.

His view was blocked by Reyes and Ale, and by the time he noticed Tang Ye's shot, the ball had already reached its highest point.

How could this possibly happen in time!
“GGGG—OOOOOOO—LLLLLLL!!!”

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"A direct free kick into the goal! Tang Ye, beautiful!"

[You get counterattack points*15]

"what--!!!"

Tang Ye, who was already a little tired, ran towards the stands as fast as he could.

At this time, Ruiz still wanted to reach out to grab him, but in order to maintain his speed, Tang Ye dodged Ruiz sideways.

Accelerate!
Ok, now this speed should be enough to slide a long distance!
Push your knees forward!

Slide on your knees!

boom!
The wet grass helped Tang Ye to slide a long distance. After completing the slide, Tang Ye did not stand up in a hurry, but opened his arms to the stands.

"VAMOS!"

Ruiz ran over from behind, and together with Costa, they knelt behind Tang Ye and hugged Tang Ye's neck.

"Tom!"

"Vamos Tom!"

In the camera, Bruno slowly walked towards Tang Ye from behind.

Although he has a smile on his face, Bruno is definitely the calmest one in the Villarreal team.

Bruno knew the outcome of the game when Tang Ye put his right hand on his butt and gave him a thumbs up.

Tom will never let his friends down!
"Look, I told you it was absolutely wrong to play against us with three at the back"

Escriva said proudly.

"But this is not a behind-the-back ball, it's a set piece."

Marty pointed at the Villarreal players who were celebrating on the field.

"It's all the same. The core is Tom's passing ability..."

As he spoke, Escriva quickly realized the loophole in his words, so he added another sentence.

"But this time he passed the ball straight into the goal"

[What else is the Spaniard doing now? The three defenders are just showing off]

[The opponent wanted to fight back, but ended up angering Huang Qian's big brother]

[What big brother? Tom is the youngest in the team, right?]

[At 17, you are a kid, at 18, you are a big brother. This is normal, football kings are all precocious.]

"Great, Tom!"

Villarreal's players surrounded Tang Ye and celebrated their second goal.

Scoring a goal directly from a free kick is rare in the top five leagues!

Standing up from the ground, Tang Ye walked towards the bottom of the stands. The Villarreal fans who were singing the team song saw Tang Ye coming and immediately shouted the name of the scorer in unison.

Tom's name!
“Haha, come on!”

Tang Ye walked to the front of the stands, bumped fists with the nearest fan, and then rushed to his own half.

"At this moment, Tang Ye's free kick may very well be the last goal of the game."

"The Spaniards wanted to counterattack, but their rhythm was slowly starting to get messy"

"..."

“Beep, beep, beep—!!!”

In the 93rd minute, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Villarreal won the game with a score of 2:0!
[Little-known fact: after only playing 2 games this month, Villarreal has already scored 6 goals]

The fans’ summary was correct. In the two games this month, Villarreal showed strong offensive efficiency.

Villarreal's goal difference is second only to Real Madrid in the entire La Liga!
"I told you, the birthday boy can score goals"

In the locker room, Bruno proudly told his teammates about the prediction he made on the bus, and even asked Rodri to help prove it.

If Bruno had known he could really score a goal, he should have said it loudly on the bus. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to find someone to prove what he said now.

Click, click, click!

Ale is taking a photo of Tang Ye and Rodri in the locker room.

The players were not interested in whether Bruno had really made the prediction or not. They only knew that they defeated their opponents 2:0 in today's game.

Moreover, Tang Ye scored a wonderful free kick directly into the goal!
Alai's phone was recording video. He used the empty mineral water bottle as a microphone and walked towards Tang Ye: "Tom, you scored on your birthday, and it was a direct free kick. How do you feel now?"

"Well, Sebastian, don't do this."

"No, no, no, call me a reporter, you have to call me a reporter"

"Okay, Mr. Reporter"

Tang Ye quickly got into the game: "My captain told me before the game that birthday boys often score goals, so I felt I could score before the game started, and then... and then I really scored."

Bruno came into the shot and pointed his thumb at his mouth: "This is half my credit! Sebastian, include this in the shot too!"

"It's Mr. Reporter"

Tang Ye reminded: "Bruno, you called me wrong!"

……

SER Radio: Villarreal beat Espanyol 26-2 in the 0th round of La Liga, Tom scored directly from a free kick on his birthday. Will Villarreal launch an attack on the top two in the standings?

Attached is the La Liga standings (Round 26)
1. Real Madrid, 66 points.

2. Barcelona, ​​65 points.

3. Villarreal, 60 points.

4. Atletico Madrid, 51 points.

5. Sevilla, 47 points.

6. Real Sociedad, 47 points.

Villarreal has won two games in a row, but Real Madrid has also been very strong, also winning two games in a row.

Villarreal has not widened the gap with second-placed Barcelona, ​​which is not good news.

but……

The good news is that Villarreal has widened the gap with Atletico Madrid.

The third place got 60 points, and the fourth place only had 51 points.

With a gap of 9 points, it can be said that Villarreal's direct qualification for the Champions League next season is very stable.

"Mr. President, I think our current league goals have been basically achieved," said Escrivá and Roig in the office.

Too much pressure was put on him in January and February. Now that the gap between them and Atletico Madrid has widened by 1 points, the Villarreal coach can finally say what he wants to say.

"No, no, no, this isn't our league goal?"

"Ok?"

Escriva was stunned for a moment: "Fernando, when I first came to this team, you said that if we qualified for the Champions League this season, it would be a success."

"That was the goal before the season started, not now."

Roig corrected Escriva's mistake.

"You didn't know at the beginning that the player you rented for 300 million euros could win the Golden Boy Award, Ferran. Things are changing, and our goals are also changing."

When it comes to the issue of loan, Escrivá suddenly has nothing to say.

Roig took a step forward and said: "Ferran, keep going forward. We are second in the league. Let's see if there is any chance. I think we can do it."

"It's so hard to be in the top two of La Liga. It's as hard as winning the French and Italian championships."

never mind"

Escrivá waved his hand, he was not going to argue with Roig on this issue anymore.

"I'm going to the cafeteria."

"Why do we have to go to the cafeteria?"

"Happy birthday to your loanee, Mr President"

……

"Come on, come on, Tom, are you ready? Are you ready?"

Tang Ye sat on a chair. On the dining table in front of him was a 10-inch cake with two Arabic numeral candles on it.

18!

This is Tom's age now!
The Villarreal players stood in front of Tang Ye, taking pictures with their mobile phones.

“Now I just want to know who bought this cake”

Escrivá didn't rush to take pictures. He pointed his finger at the cake on the table: "How big is it, 12 inches or 10 inches? Man, there are 30 of us."

Bruno touched his neck and stood up a little embarrassedly: "I ordered it from a cake shop near the stadium. They asked for chewing gum flavor."

Bruno made a fatal mistake. He did not tell the cake shop staff that there were 30 people!

"Wait?"

"What does it taste like?"

Escriva stared with wide eyes, and Bruno answered as a matter of course: "It's chewing gum flavor, mint chewing gum. The cake shop didn't customize this flavor for me, and I added a 2000 euro tip before they made it for me."

"Jesus!"

Escrivá really wanted to scold Bruno, but seeing Tang Ye's excited look, Escrivá thought about it and decided to give up.

Escriva would give this cake 90 points.

190 points were given to the flavor of the cake, the mint gum cake, which was tailor-made for Tom!
-
100 points for the size of the cake.

Well, so it’s 90 points, which is a more appropriate score.

"Have you finished taking the photos? I'm already craving for this cake."

"Okay, okay, go ahead and start."

"Make a wish, make a wish"

"Um...I'm fine now."

"So fast?"

Escriva was a little surprised: "Then you can blow out the candles now"

"Ok!"

Tang Ye took a deep breath and blew out the candle in front of him.

[On March 2039, 3, you are one year older, and now you are 4 years old. At the age of 39, you are playing in the Eredivisie, which is an incredible achievement, but at the age of 38, you can go one step further, which is really a bit against the sky]

[You are the only 39-year-old player in La Liga. Playing in La Liga at the age of 39 is a very difficult thing in itself, not to mention that you just retired and came back a year and a half ago, which makes it even more difficult]

[Fair mechanism triggered, you get a special item: Erling Haaland's Viking Forge]

Tang Ye didn’t know who Erling Haaland was, and it didn’t matter.

The important thing is the Viking forge.

This is the fourth special item Tang Ye has obtained after the [Piggy Bank], [Sancho's Lunch Box] and [Casemiro's Gloves]!
"What's wrong Tom?"

Bruno stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Tang Ye twice.

"Oh!"

Tang Ye reacted: "I am now thinking about how I should eat this cake"

Musacchio stretched out his big hand: "Come on, Tom, I'll put your head on the cake, so you can eat it freely!"

"Mateo, get lost, we only have one cake!"

Ruiz pulled Musacchio away, and Villarreal's two central defenders got entangled in the back.

Alai took out the knife from the table and said: "Don't you see this?"

“Oh, that’s good.”

Bruno took the knife, and Tang Ye began to count little by little: "29, 30, 31, 32, there are 33 of us in total, Bruno, can you do it?"

"Did you count yourself?"

Escriva reminded.

Well!
Tang Ye touched his nose: "That's 34"

Bruno held the knife and fell into deep thought while looking at the cake on the table.

"A 10-inch cake divided into 34 equal parts, I don't think this is difficult, what do you think, Tom?"

"I feel so too!"

"Then come on."

Bruno handed the knife to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye was very decisive. He first cut 8 pieces of the cake and then estimated the size with his fingers.

Cut out a small piece.

“Try it!”

“Haha, let’s give it a try.”

The teammates around him urged him on, they couldn't wait to make fun of Bruno.

Gum flavored cake!
Tang Ye put the cake on the knife into his mouth.

"Um……"

After chewing twice, Tang Ye looked at Alai in front of him.

"I think it's OK. The mint flavor is a little light, but the main thing is, uh... matcha? Anyway, it's quite delicious."

With Tang Ye's superb knife skills, each of Huang Qian got a piece of irregular cake of different sizes.

But that doesn't matter.

"Come"

Bruno called the players to Tang Ye's side. Tang Ye wanted to stand up from his chair, but Bruno pushed him back: "Tom, just sit down."

"3, 2, 1!"

"viva TomTom!"

Escrivá helped to shoot this video for the players. After eating the cake, Tang Ye sat in a chair and fell into deep thought.

"what happened?"

Escriva came over and sat down at the table in front of Tang Ye.

Tang Ye felt a little embarrassed, but after hesitating, he still said: "I want to hear this sentence in the King's Cup final..."

"Which sentence?"

Tang Ye looked up into Escrivá's eyes.

"viva TomTom!"

Tom wants to be the MVP in the King's Cup final, lead his friends, and then become the long live Tom.

But this is obviously not an easy thing to do.

With a simple calculation, there are only 6 days left until the King's Cup final!
