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

Chapter 225 National Team Welcome Ceremony, the 19th is coming! (16w more monthly tickets requested!)
"Just put it here?"

Feng Xiaoting pointed at Tang Ye's desk. This was a new dormitory and there was nothing on the desk yet.
"Well, just put it on the table. Thanks, Brother Ting!"

"I'm coming!"

Zhang Linpeng and Yu Dabao walked in together and put Tang Ye's quilt on the bed with a "bang".

“This quilt is heavier than I thought.”

Yu Dabao sat on the bed, catching his breath, and the sound of Wu Lei and Wu Xi chatting came from outside the door.

Tang Ye was the last to report to the national team. He was the only one whose luggage had not been arranged yet, so the team leader Feng Xiaoting suggested that everyone come together to help Tang Ye with his luggage and bed.

Tang Ye’s stuff actually wasn’t too much, and with nearly 30 people in the team, it was handled very quickly.

Tang Ye put his backpack on the table and carefully took out his laptop.

First put the notebook on the table, then open the other backpack that Feng Xiaoting had placed on the table, and take out his keyboard and mouse from it.

"Damn, Tang Ye, half of your luggage is computers, right?"

Feng Xiaoting looked at Tang Ye with a strange look: "I saw in the news before that you often play games. The news really doesn't lie."

“No, no, these are secondary.”

Tang Ye touched his nose, while Feng Xiaoting looked up and down at his notebook: "Damn, an internet addict boy!"

"This is just for fun when I have free time. I brought it here when I remembered it."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and get your training clothes and sneakers. Our afternoon training will start soon. There will be a welcome ceremony for you."

"A welcoming ceremony?"

Tang Ye blinked. Although he didn't know what it was, he felt it was quite interesting.

There were a lot of people in the room, and Tang Ye put the suitcase that Zhang Yuning helped him carry up on the ground.

Tang Ye's suitcase was very messy. All the clothes were stuffed in without being folded. The moment the suitcase was opened, the clothes inside bulged out.

Tang Ye threw his clothes on the bed and quickly searched through the things in the suitcase.

After flipping for about a few seconds, Tang Ye stood up.

"what happened?"

Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning looked into Tang Ye's eyes at the same time, and the latter rummaged through his two backpacks.

Finally, he touched his hair a little embarrassedly: "I didn't bring my sneakers back..."

"..."

"Hahahahaha!"

Zhang Yuning clenched his fist and gently hit Tang Ye's arm: "Damn, Tang Ye, you are a genius!"

The Chinese national football players in the room didn't know what to say to this incredible newcomer. Feng Xiaoting could only urge everyone to gather at the training ground first.

"It's okay, it's just a small problem"

Feng Xiaoting put his arm around Tang Ye's shoulder and said, "It's very convenient to buy sneakers here. Just ask the people at the base to buy you two pairs."

Tang Ye wasn't wearing the latest model of sneakers, so it was quite convenient to buy them in the country.

After changing into his own No. 19 jersey and shorts, Tang Ye walked out of the locker room.

"Brother Ning, do we have any other pants?"

Tang Ye found Zhang Yuning walking in front of him and pointed at his training pants.

These pants have no pockets, which is something that makes Tang Ye very uncomfortable.

Zhang Yuning recalled carefully: "It seems not..."

"All right"

Tang Ye shook his head and continued walking towards the training ground.

The sun was very bright this afternoon, and it gave a warm feeling on the body, which made Tang Ye feel very comfortable.

"Everyone, be quiet for a moment. We are welcoming a new person today."

As he spoke, Feng Xiaoting asked the players on the training ground to stand in two rows. Tang Ye was a little overwhelmed, and finally stood with Zhang Yuning.

"No, Tang Ye, why are you coming in? You are welcome at the welcome ceremony."

"oh oh"

Tang Ye immediately walked out of the team, and Feng Xiaoting continued: "Today we want to welcome the team's new midfielder, Tang Ye!"

"In fact, Tang Ye was selected for the national team in early March, but because of the club competition, he has been delayed until now."

Feng Xiaoting put his hand on Tang Ye's shoulder: "The King's Cup champion, the championship won by leading the team to defeat Barcelona"

Tang Ye quickly waved his hand: "No, no, it's not about leading the team, it's the result of working together with my teammates."

"Ha ha!"

Feng Xiaoting patted Tang Ye on the back, then signaled Tang Ye to get ready.

Looking at his teammates standing in two rows in front of him, Tang Ye took a deep breath.

The national team has always had a tradition of welcoming newcomers, and this is the ceremony that Tang Ye must go through to become a member of the national team.

Bend down!
Then run in from the middle!

Faster as possible!

Clap clap clap!

Teammates from both rows quickly patted Tang Ye's back with both hands.

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye, who had run nearly 10 meters, rushed out: "Damn it, haha!"

Zhang Linpeng and Zheng Zhi, who were standing at the end of the team, hugged Tang Ye respectively.

"welcome!"

"welcome!"

Tang Ye has watched many national team games, but the only player he really knows is Zhang Yuning, who is a newcomer just like Tang Ye.

Having said that, Tang Ye's first day in the national team was not as restrained as his first day in Villarreal.

The reason is simple. Similar skin color and familiar language will give him a sense of belonging, which helps him integrate into the team better.

"Tang Ye, are you from Guangdong? Where in Guangdong?"

During the warm-up, Zhang Linpeng took the initiative to run to Tang Ye.

"Foshan"

"I play football in Guangzhou, the weather there is really good, but I heard that you are from Luneng's youth training camp."

"Yes, I originally played football in Foshan, and then the coach of Luneng brought me to Shandong"

"Luneng is indeed very strong. They also have Wei Shihao. Do you know Wei Shihao? He played in the Portuguese Super League before and is now on loan to Shanghai SIPG."

“Is he also on the national team?”

Zhang Linpeng shook his head.

Players who go abroad often perform well in international competitions, so Lippi has specifically observed Wei Shihao.

However, Wei Shihao did not seem to meet Lippi's requirements.

"That's a pity, I might know him."

"That's why I say Luneng's youth training is amazing"

Zhang Linpeng patted Tang Ye.

Assistant coach Madaroni led the players in a warm-up exercise that lasted for half an hour. After the exercise, Tang Ye saw an old man with a European face standing next to Madaroni on the sidelines.

Marcello Lippi is the head coach of the Chinese men's football team.

There was a guy standing next to Lippi whom Tang Ye didn't recognize. Wu Lei told him that he was the national team's Italian translator Wen Qianshi.

"Wen Qianshi? He is a foreigner, right?"

Tang Ye pointed at Wen Qianshi who was beside Lippi.

“Italian”

Wu Lei gave the answer: "He is very good at Chinese"

Lippi and Maddaloni both speak Italian...

Thinking of this, Tang Ye opened his system and took a look.

【Middle-aged Language University】

Italian (fluent)
Price: Counterattack Points*3000
hiss--

Remember that you only need 300 counterattack points to purchase the first additional language.

This language university is quite a rip-off.

When you unlock new items, the price increases by double and double again, but when you learn a new language, the price increases by ten times!
If the counterattack point is 300 points, Tang Ye can still consider buying one share, but if it is 3000 points, he can really forget it.

Just listen to the translator carefully!
The players gathered in front of the coaching staff. As a newcomer to the national team, Tang Ye was pushed to the front by captain Feng Xiaoting.

Carefully looking at the coach Lippi in front of him.

Tang Ye and Lippi have been communicating for more than two months, and this is his first meeting with Lippi.

White hair with a serious expression!

Tang Ye completed his judgment on Lippi in a short time.

Mr. Marcello is definitely a tough guy!

Thinking carefully, Tang Ye slowly raised his head and suddenly found that Lippi was also looking at him.

Lippi pointed at Tang Ye's shoes: "Where are your sneakers?"

"what?"

Tang Ye looked at the translator, and Wen Qianshi pointed at Tang Ye's shoes and said, "He asked you where your sneakers are."

"Oh, I forgot to bring them back. I'll borrow a pair later."

Hearing Tang Ye's answer, Wen Qianshi was stunned for a moment, and then whispered in Lippi's ear.

Tang Ye looked around and found that his teammates were all trying to hold back their laughter.

"Don't laugh, I'm just changing my shoes"

"I'm not laughing, I'm not laughing"

Zhang Yuning stood up straight with a serious expression.

"He asked you to report the size and brand of your sneakers to the staff when the time comes."

After dealing with the problem of Tang Ye's sneakers, Lippi began to tell the players about the next game.

The match against South Korea is on the 23rd!

"South Korea is very strong. They should be the team in Group A that is most likely to qualify directly except Iran. If we also want to qualify directly, we must beat South Korea to third place."

"I know it's difficult, but we have to try because I think we have a chance to beat South Korea..."

As he spoke, Lippi's attention slowly shifted to Tang Ye.

At this time, Tang Ye was looking at the Nike advertisement at the far end of the training ground.

Lippi walked up to Tang Ye and said, "Tom, are you listening to me?"

Tang Ye quickly turned his head and said, "Sir, I'm listening, I'm listening."

"Pay attention!"

Lippi emphasized: "You will most likely come on as a substitute in the match against South Korea. You will have very little time to prepare, so you have to quickly integrate into the team."

Lippi's words surprised the players a little.

He reported for the first time on the 20th and came on as a substitute against South Korea on the 23rd.

Tang Ye's development speed in the national team is indeed a bit exaggerated.

But it’s normal to think about it. This little guy who just received the welcome ceremony suppressed Messi in the King’s Cup final!

Zhang Yuning patted Tang Ye's hand and whispered, "Come on!"

The training began, and Tang Ye borrowed a pair of shoes from Wu Lei. They were about the same height and wore the same size sneakers.

“You can try with a few more people.”

Zheng Zhi walked over to Tang Ye and said: "The first training session is very important. It is best to wear suitable shoes. He may judge whether he can start in the next game based on the first training session."

The "he" Zheng Zhi mentioned is the head coach Lippi.

Because of the language barrier and inability to communicate directly, the national football players like to call Lippi and Maddaloni "he" when chatting.

"It's okay, it's all the same"

Tang Ye shook his calves and walked straight to the training ground without even tying his shoelaces.

Zheng Zhi looked at Wu Lei and said, "Damn, this guy is really unique."

Wu Lei smiled and shook his head, then quickly changed his sneakers.

The national football players were extremely excited today.

The reason is simple. This is the first time in their career that they have trained with a player worth 5000 million euros.

“Feel the difference intuitively”

Wu Lei quickly ran to Zhang Yuning and said, "Yuning, did you say you played against Tang Ye once?"

"What does it feel like?"

hiss--

Zhang Yuning thought about it carefully: "You'd better be in the same group with him"

"Because he's a great passer? I know that."

"No," Zhang Yuning shook his head. "I mean he can make a tackle and knock you over."

"But you don't have to worry too much. He retracts his legs very quickly. At most he will fall."

"..."

……

In the 8v8 competition, Lippi assigned Tang Ye to Team B, which was mainly composed of substitute players.

"Marking is very important. Team A's attacking tempo will be very fast, so we have to pay special attention to the wingers. Wu Lei and Gao Lin are both the ones we need to pay attention to, especially Wu Lei. His positioning is very good, so we have to keep a close eye on him."

Madaroni is explaining the details of the upcoming game to the players of Team B.

"In 20 minutes, we just need to limit the number of goals conceded to 2."

Because the substitute lineup played against the starting lineup, Team B's goal was not high.

"come on! Come on!"

Wang Dalei was jumping in front of the goal line: "Anyway, you should pay attention to Wu Lei when the time comes. He may suddenly run into the penalty area. I will remind you."

The players of Team B communicated quickly, while Tang Ye stood in his attacking midfielder position in a daze.

Tang Ye needs a nap, but he didn't sleep at noon today, which made him feel a little dizzy and he didn't know what to do.

"Tang Ye!"

Zhang Yuning shouted, "Why do I feel like you're about to fall asleep?"

"No no"

Tang Ye shook his head violently.

Last year when he was playing in Utrecht he was still in the gym at 10pm.

Compared with the pain I endured at that time, the sleepiness I feel today is nothing.

He stood out through hard training, he can withstand the hardship of training!

"Okay, just tee off!"

Maddaloni blew the whistle and Zhang Yuning passed the ball back to Deng Hanwen.

The pace of the 8v8 small-field confrontation was a little faster. After Zhang Yuning kicked off, Wu Lei rushed directly towards Deng Hanwen.

Wu Lei, Yu Dabao, and Gao Lin, three forwards, pressed at the same time. This was the key point of Lippi's training today!

Tang Ye began to retreat, observing the positions of Wu Lei and Gao Lin beside him while running back.

Under pressure, Deng Hanwen passed the ball to Fan Xiaodong.

At this time, Tang Ye raised his hand.

boom!
The pass from Fan Xiaodong was kicked towards Tang Ye’s feet!
"Get up!"

Yu Dabao reminded him, and Wu Lei changed direction and ran towards Tang Ye.

After observing Wu Lei's position in advance, Tang Ye stretched out his right foot to control the ball.

When Wu Lei came to his side, Tang Ye stepped on the ball and pulled it back, then quickly turned around and ran forward.

Tang Ye completed a back-to-crotch pass on Wu Lei!
"Let's go!"

He shouted a few times and then passed the ball to Zhang Yuning's feet.

Zhang Yuning runs forward with the ball!

Zhang Yuning who was moving forward was quickly blocked by Zheng Zhi. At this time, Tang Ye ran up from the left side.

Zhang Yuning passed the ball over!

Ok, Tang Ye caught the ball!
The defensive players of Team A reacted quickly. Just as Tang Ye was about to enter the top of the arc, Feng Xiaoting ran out directly.

Tang Ye's instinctive reaction made him look towards the left bottom line.

but……

Damn, no one!
For some reason, there were no B-Team players wearing yellow vests on the left baseline.

There's nothing we can do about it!
Tang Ye chose to duel with Feng Xiaoting!

Fake shot with left foot!

Shake to the right!
Change the rhythm again!
Tricking Feng Xiaoting into stretching his foot, Tang Ye then dribbled the ball to the right!
Snapped!
[De Bruyne's long-angle shot lv5: Re-engraving]

Proficiency: 0
Goalkeeper Zeng Cheng stood there and watched the ball go into the net.

The shot from the top of the arc still had a chance to be saved in an 11-man field.

But the distance between the goal line and the edge of the penalty area in a 9-a-side football field is too short, and it is simply too late to make a save after the shot!
"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye and Zhang Yuning who ran over shook hands.

This was his first goal in the national team training match. Overall it felt very good!
"Clap clap clap!"

Lippi clapped his hands quickly: "Pay attention to the blocking at the top of the arc, don't be easily fooled!"

Feng Xiaoting raised his hand to signal, while his brain kept thinking.

From what I saw on TV, Tang Ye has a good ability to change rhythm.

This intermittent movement may not seem threatening, but it is not until you encounter it in real life that you realize how exaggerated this breakthrough method is.

What defenders fear is rhythm. There is some truth to this statement!
"Amazing"

Wu Lei high-fived Tang Ye who was running towards his own half.

"haha, thank you!"

Rubbed his hands.

At the beginning, Tang Ye was still a little sleepy, but after the last wave of attack, he almost found the feeling of the game.

Giving Zhang Yuning a thumbs up: "When you find an attacking opportunity, just run forward, no need to look at me"

"Are you sure? Just run away?"

"Um"

Zhang Yuning frowned and thought.

When you find an opportunity, just run and then the midfielder will pass the ball to you. This is the attacking method that all forwards dream of.

But the problem is that Tang Ye is not Zhang Yuning after all, and he cannot observe from Zhang Yuning's perspective.

The offensive opportunities that Zhang Yuning can find may not be found by Tang Ye!
do not care!
Let’s continue the game first!

Although it was Team B's goal, due to Lippi's special request, the second goal was still scored by Team B.

"Go and grab it!"

"Wu Lei! Pay attention to the positions of your teammates on both sides!"

"Three people, cooperate!"

The translator shouted loudly on the sidelines.

The three frontcourt players of Team A put a lot of pressure on Team B, and Tang Ye was forced to retreat.

Deng Hanwen had just got the ball when he was immediately pressed by Yu Dabao.

Looking to the right, Gao Lin is running towards Fan Xiaodong.

"To the goalkeeper!"

Tang Ye shouted in the front court.

Deng Hanwen did not dare to delay, he protected the ball with his back, and then decisively passed it to goalkeeper Wang Dalei.

Yu Dabao bypassed Deng Hanwen and continued to run towards Wang Dalei's position.

Team A’s pressing is really fierce!
Snapped!
Wang Dalei kicked the ball forward, and Tang Ye retreated while observing left and right.

Feng Xiaoting next to him seemed to want to come up and grab the ball.

According to Tang Ye's observation, if he could get the ball, it would be a very good offensive opportunity.

So Tang Ye plucked up his courage and went straight to Feng Xiaoting!

boom!
wow！

Unexpectedly, Feng Xiaoting was knocked away by Tang Ye!
Use your chest to stop the ball!

At this time, Zhang Yuning was already standing on the offside line.

He was waiting for Tang Ye to take control of the ball and look forward!
As long as Tang Ye sees Zhang Yuning's current position, this one-on-one opportunity is a sure thing!
As a result, something wrong happened. Tang Ye took the ball off his chest and kicked it forward while it was in the air before it hit the ground.

There is a system bug.

Chest touches are not counted in the [First Touch Module]!
What the hell!

Zhang Yuning reacted quickly and rushed forward.

Stretch your foot and catch the ball!

Run outside the penalty area!

"Slow down, slow down!"

Lippi shouted.

Zhang Yuning slowed down actively!
Give it a push!
The ball went in!
"Wow!"

"Clap clap clap!"

Lippi gave a thumbs up to the field and said in non-standard Chinese: "Great, very great!"

The current score is Team A: Team B 0:2, and Wang Dalei cheered excitedly in the backcourt.

He was the second to last to touch the ball, so at least 20% of the credit for this goal should be attributed to him!
Looking at Tang Ye walking slowly towards their own half, Lippi and Maddaloni looked at each other, and both of them had very serious expressions.

This is high-end product!

Originally, Lippi's attention was all on the three forwards of Team A, but after the previous wave of attack, Lippi's attention has never shifted away from Tang Ye.

"..."

Wu Lei was preparing to shoot at the top of the arc when Tang Ye suddenly rushed up.

Fall sideways!

boom!
Wu Lei's volley hit Tang Ye!
"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye and Deng Hanwen got up from the ground and hugged each other.

Tang Ye’s biggest problem is his weak running and covering ability, but the 9-a-side football field itself is not very large, which directly covers up Tang Ye’s biggest shortcoming!

"Give it to me!"

Driving the ball to the right side, Tang Ye passed the ball to Zhang Yuning, and then ran along the sideline to the right bottom line.

boom!
Zhang Yuning sent a straight pass!
Tang Ye!

Use your right foot to pass the ball directly!
boom!
Wang Yongpo hasn't run into the penalty area yet.

But it doesn't matter.

Because Tang Ye's kick was not aimed at Wang Yongpo.

His goal is to shoot directly!
The ball was hit in the far corner and Zeng Cheng jumped up to save it.

did not succeed!

3: 0!

"..."

Zeng Cheng sat on the goal line and sighed.

Isn’t it said that Tang Ye’s shooting is terrible?

Zeng Cheng was obviously still too naive.

Fans online all said that Tang Ye’s shooting was terrible, and slowly he began to believe it.

The problem is that Tang Ye's shooting is so poor compared with the attacking midfielders of strong La Liga teams.

His shooting attribute is 77 points.

What is this concept?
Although he is a midfielder, Tang Ye's shooting ability is similar to that of South Korea's top striker Son Heung-min.

Lippi turned his head and said to Madaroni next to him: "Switch Tom to Team A"

"Change now? Is it unnecessary?"

Lippi held up three fingers: "The starting team is already three behind"

The starting team faced the reserve team, and the starting team fell behind by 3 goals.

What does this mean?
Does this mean that the substitute team is better than the starting team?

Do not!
This shows that the current starting lineup is wrong!

The headline of the China Football News: Villarreal star Tang Ye has arrived at the national football team's training base in Hebei. The national football team players held a welcome ceremony for Tang Ye. According to the photos taken by the reporter, the players were in a good mood.

Hot topic among football experts: In the home game against South Korea, can Tang Ye come on as a substitute and make his national team debut?
