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

Chapter 230 Iran overtakes the score? Tang Ye shoots with the outside of his foot!
"China Central Radio and Television, China Central Radio and Television! This is a live broadcast for you..."

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

"Okay, let the game begin! Now let me introduce the starting lineup for this game!"

Iran (4-3-3)

Goalkeeper: Beiranvand

Defenders: Ghafouri, Montazeri, Praliganj, Mohammed

Midfielders: Ibrahimi, Shojaei, Ezatollahi
Forwards: Jahanbakhsh, Gouchanejad, Taremi
Head coach: Queiroz

The game had just started and the director's camera was directly given to Lippi.

The Italian coach remained the same, with his hands in his pockets and no expression on his face.

It seems that Lippi has no inner emotions at all, but that is not the case.

At least not today!

Lippi is a little happy today!
Four days before the game, he and assistant coach Madaroni guessed that Iran would play 4. Lippi even guessed 4231 of Iran's 11 starters.

It can be said that the Iranian team was no different from being naked in front of the Chinese team today!

In order to deal with Iran's 4231 system, Lippi used the classic 433.

The goalkeeper, defenders, and midfield remain unchanged.

There were some slight adjustments in the forward position, with Gao Lin, Zhang Yuning and Yu Dabao forming the forward line!
When fans saw the Chinese national football team's starting lineup an hour ago, their first reaction was a bit confused.

Gao Lin, Zhang Yuning, and Yu Dabao's forward line?
Is this serious?

Where are the wingers?
Where is Wu Lei!
There are already people criticizing in the live broadcast room, but most fans are still maintaining a wait-and-see attitude.

After all, the Chinese national team won the match against South Korea by 3 goals a week ago.

Although Tang Ye played a very key role in this, you cannot deny that after half a year of running-in, Lippi has slowly completed his exploration of the Chinese men's football team!
The game reached the 17th minute of the first half!

The broadcaster gives the ball possession data!

IRA: 62%
CHN: 38%
"For the Chinese national football team, ball control itself is not their strong point, and after adding a player with extreme technical characteristics like Tang Ye, ball control is even more..."

As he was expressing his thoughts, Huang Jianxiang in the studio suddenly looked up.

He realized he had said the wrong thing!
"What I mean is that after Tang Ye joins, the national football team will actively give up control of the ball, because Tang Ye has excellent counterattack ability."

"Yes, especially when facing a team like Iran that is good at attacking, defense is a better choice for the Chinese national team."

Defense is a good choice.

But the question is, if the Chinese national team wants to play defense, why does Lippi have to use three center forwards at the same time?

Gao Lin and Yu Dabao's ability to retreat and defend is quite average!
"Front, front!"

"By the way!"

Lippi shouted and gestured, and Zhang Yuning started from the middle and ran to the right.

Zhang Yuning was very fast and immediately came to the position in front of Yu Dabao.

When he found that his teammates wanted to attack on the right, Tang Ye immediately went to fill Zhang Yuning's position.

Now Tang Ye is the frontmost player in the center of the national football team!
He looks like a center forward, but he is actually a attacking midfielder!
Snapped!
Facing the Iranian player who was marking him, Yu Dabao passed the ball forward.

Give it to Zhang Yuning in front!

The first moment Zhang Yuning got the ball, he turned around to observe Tang Ye's position.

He wanted to pass the ball to Tang Ye.

But unfortunately, Tang Ye's position had been blocked!
Ibrahimi's close defense made Tang Ye very uncomfortable.

Go up and bump into it!
Ibrahimi took two steps back, but quickly came back.

Tang Ye felt it briefly.

There is still a big gap between Ibrahimi and La Liga defensive midfielders in terms of confrontation ability, and his core is not very stable.

In other words, if Tang Ye really wanted to collide with him, he might not necessarily be defeated!

Of course, the top priority is to complete this attack!

Zhang Yuning, who was going down the flank, was blocked by Mohammed and could not find any chance to break into the penalty area.

Tang Ye ran over decisively, gesturing to the left while running.

Let Gao Lin come to the middle!

The good thing about Lippi's three-center forward tactic is that Gao Lin, Zhang Yuning, and Yu Dabao can all go into the penalty area to compete for headers!

"Come!"

Tang Ye asked Zhang Yuning for the ball, and the latter immediately kicked the ball over.

Tang Ye blocked Ibrahimi's position with his back.

Shake the rhythm!
Pull the ball and turn around!

Go straight to the middle!
With his feint, Tang Ye temporarily got rid of Ibrahimi's defense.

This is a good opportunity!

Snapped!
[De Bruyne makes a straight pass]!
A very short distance through ball!

Give it to the restricted area!

Although time was short, Tang Ye observed very carefully.

His through ball rolled past Montazeri's feet very accurately!
Pass it to Gao Lin in front of the penalty spot!

"wow!!"

The fans at the scene stood up!
Gao Lin shot directly!

Gao Lin's shot was so close that goalkeeper Belwand had no time to react.

"We have the ball!"

the CCTV commentator shouted it out loud.

"Tang Ye's short-distance through pass accurately found Gao Lin in the penalty area!"

"It was a perfect pass, straight through the Iranian defenders!"

“1:0, the Chinese team is leading away from home!”

The barrage was full of "666". Tang Ye and Gao Lin in the penalty area hugged each other, and then the two ran towards the corner flagpole together.

"Ha ha!"

"Look at me, look at me!"

Tang Ye yelled, then ran in front of Gao Lin, and "Shua, swish, swish" directly tore three stripes on the court.

It is true that this was Gao Lin's goal, but Tang Ye didn't care about that.

If you score a goal you should celebrate.

Since we are about to celebrate, we should just do whatever we think of!
[You get counterattack points*15]

"Beautiful! Gao Lin!"

Hao Junmin rushed over from behind and hugged Tang Ye and Gao Lin at the same time.

Damn it!
Facing Iran, which was first in the group, the Chinese team actually scored the first goal!

"Clap clap clap!"

Lippi raised his hands to celebrate and then clapped quickly.

"call……"

Breathe a long sigh of relief.

Gao Lin's goal at least shows that the Chinese national team has an advantage in the tactical system in today's game.

Lippi now hopes that this goal can fully stimulate the form of the national football players.

Defeating Iran seems like a fantasy.

Actually it is possible!
The celebration continued. Tang Ye and his teammates delayed time at the corner flagpole, while the director played a replay of the goal.

The director had sharp eyes and he deliberately chose the moment when Tang Ye ran to meet Zhang Yuning as the starting point for the replay.

In the picture, we can see that Tang Ye pointed to the middle penalty area to indicate Gao Lin's running position.

"Gao Lin's forward run was guided by someone."

Why was Gao Lin on the left able to react and rush into the penalty area in such a short time?
Because Commander GGBond gave his order!
Do you think the goal just now was the result of Tang Ye’s through pass and Gao Lin’s movement?
Do not!
In fact, it was Tang Ye’s through pass that cooperated with Tang Ye’s command!
【Awesome! 】

[Isn't it so exaggerated? ]

[GGBond is like this, he still cares about his friends when playing football, a considerate god! ]

[Two brains, right? One brain thinks about how to play football, and the other brain helps teammates think]

Before, many fans did not understand why Tang Ye could start in a game against South Korea as soon as he reported to the national team.

Now they should understand.

The help Tang Ye brings to the team is not as simple as passing the ball.

His presence will improve the overall rhythm and positioning ability of the national football team!

Holding midfielder?
Do not!
GGBond is the commander midfielder!
As the game continued, the Iranian fans' cheers rang out from the stands.

Iran was also abstract, not allowing its female fans to enter the stadium. As a result, the 9-capacity stadium only had more than 6 seats, including 5000 fans of the visiting team.

“China is awesome!”

"Come on Tang Ye, Tang Ye!"

It’s the 25th minute of the first half!

Iran, which was one goal behind, immediately launched a counterattack against the Chinese team!
"Iran is in a better position to qualify now, but they are obviously unwilling to give up the three points they have against the Chinese team!"

“Jahanbakhsh is fast!”

"Hao Junmin didn't stop it!"

"Pass the ball horizontally to the middle!"

"Shujaei, to Taremi!"

Taremi brought the ball to the baseline, and the hearts of Chinese fans in the live broadcast room were hanging in their throats.

Mei Fang and Zhang Linpeng ran towards Taremi's position together.

Before Mei Fang came up to intercept, Taremi passed the ball directly back to the penalty spot.

Shujaei follows from behind!
"boom!"

The ball went in!
After the Chinese team scored a goal, Iran quickly equalized the score!

"jesus"

Lippi shook his head and turned back to sit in his chair.

There is a reason why Iran is so aggressive.

The Iranian players' ability to adjust their mentality when they fall behind is really incomparable to that of the Chinese national football players!
Lippi is a little hesitant now.

With the score at 1:1, the Chinese team was at a disadvantage on the field.

Do you want to play defense?

After careful consideration, Lippi asked Zhang Xizhe and Wu Lei on the bench to start warming up.

No tactical adjustments! 37th minute!

"Muhammad is edging!"

"It was so sudden! The Chinese national team's defensive players didn't seem to react!"

Snapped!
After Mohammed went down the bottom line, he made a cross.

In the restricted area!
Jahanbakhsh and Gurchannejad are both ready to grab the point!
boom!
Jahanbakhsh hit the ball in front of Gutnejad.

Gutnejad shoots directly!
There was another "bang", and the ball hit Feng Xiaoting and flew out directly.

Fans with poor eyesight are celebrating.

But the fans who had good eyesight to notice that something was wrong had fallen silent.

Gutenejad's shot hit Feng Xiaoting's hand!
"Beep!"

The referee points to the 12-yard mark.

Obviously, it's a penalty!
Iran got a penalty kick with the game tied at 1:1!
A penalty kick opportunity that may determine the course of the entire game!
"I rely on..."

Tang Ye stood there speechless, staring at Jahanbakhsh who was trying to find the feeling for the penalty kick.

Don't come in!

Don't go in!

"boom!"

"The ball is in!"

Jahanbakhsh ran up and shot into the goal.

Iran has taken the lead!
"..."

Iran's players ran out to celebrate in front of the national team players.

The 11 Chinese players on the field were silenced.

Less than 20 minutes ago, we were enjoying the thrill of leading Iran by one goal, but now we are suddenly one goal behind!

Tang Ye put the new gum in his mouth and scratched his hair.

He was thinking about how to solve the problem, but the solution was not easy to come up with.

Lippi remained silent.

At this time, the language problem emerged. Lippi could not yell at the field like he did when he coached the Italian national team.

There is a translation delay before his tactical ideas reach the players on the field.

But football matches are ever-changing. By the time Lippi finished speaking to the translator, the situation on the field no longer matched his previous instructions.

"I'll come, I'll come!"

Tang Ye took the ball from Zhang Yuning.

The Iranian midfielder rushed towards Tang Ye!
Tang Ye paused on the spot!
Jump directly over the Iranian midfielder's foot!

"pretty!"

"What a great fake move! Tang Ye took the ball and walked forward first!"

"Just go find Yu Dabao!"

"Yu Dabao, run towards the restricted area!"

“Is this a one-shot opportunity?”

"The Iranian defenders are very fast in returning to defense!"

"Yu Dabao's position is stuck!"

The Iranian defenders were very quick in returning to defense, and this alone helped them intercept many of the Chinese team's attacks.

The first half of the game was over, and in the end the Chinese national team failed to equalize the score before the end of the half.

Tang Ye lowered his head, staring at the grass beneath his feet in a daze, feeling a little bad.

Half-time report from the Football Emperor: China's national football team lost 1:2 to Iran away from home, Feng Xiaoting gave away a penalty due to handball.

[It's so hard]

[Does Feng Xiaoting's shot count as a penalty? I saw he had his hands behind his back, does that count?]

[Damn, these two Iranian defenders run so fast, aren't they the natural nemesis of Tang? ]

[Three center forwards is too abstract, at least let Wu Lei come on]

The half-time report received 1.5 comments in just a few minutes.

Fans are all like this. If they are leading, they will start to praise the players on the field. Once they are behind, they will start to discuss the coach's tactics. This is why Escrivá tends to get anxious when falling behind.

In the first 20 minutes, the Chinese national team led by one goal and it seemed that they really had a chance to get three points from Iran.

But Iran used the next 25 minutes to tell the Chinese football fans that the lead in the first 20 minutes was just a fairy tale.

Iran's strength is definitely one level higher than that of the Chinese national team, as it is able to surpass South Korea and Uzbekistan and remain first in Group A!

Now let's see what happens in the second half.

Should Lippi stick to his three-center-forward strategy?
"Wu Lei was substituted in directly in the second half"

In the locker room, Wen Qianshi translated Lippi's words into Chinese and conveyed them to him.

Tang Ye glanced in the direction of Wu Lei, and then continued his unfinished thinking.

Brother Lei has good positioning ability.

Tang Ye can look for more opportunities to cooperate with Wu Lei!

"Their defenders returned to defense very quickly, which prevented us from finding opportunities to attack. So what should we do? Should we play a set-piece? We don't have a set-piece tactic."

"Then what we need to do is to strengthen the offensive players in the frontcourt and slowly look for opportunities through safe passing and control on the wing!"

Lippi spoke quickly, Tang Ye frowned and thought, then whispered: "You can play a set piece, right?"

"what did he say?"

When Lippi looked at Wen Qian, the latter translated what Tang Ye had just said: "He said he can play set pieces."

"I know you can play set-pieces, but we don't have a set-piece strategy"

Tang Ye touched his nose and said, "You can give it a try. I'm pretty good at set pieces..."

Lippi began to think quickly.

He often watched Tang Ye's game videos during his time at Villarreal, and of course knew that Tang Ye had excellent set-piece skills.

The problem is that Tang Ye has only practiced set pieces with the team once.

He has brought set-piece ability to the Chinese national team, but the team currently does not have a mature set-piece tactic.

"You can try, you can play directly in the second half, we can give it a try"

ok!

Tang Ye rubbed his hands, comparing the height of the Iranian defender with that of his teammates in his mind.

Lippi said: "But the key in the second half is that our defenders need to run forward. We need to use the numerical advantage when attacking. This is the best chance to score..."

Lippi talked a lot about tactics, but Tang Ye's attention was all on set pieces.

"Iran's defenders are very tall, so set pieces may not be easy to play"

Zheng Zhi sat next to Tang Ye and said: "If you want to kick, I can cover you."

"Ok, thanks, Brother Zheng!"

Tang Ye patted Zheng Zhi, then went to the middle of the locker room with his teammates.

"The momentum is very important in the second half. We have lost too much momentum and we must get it back in the second half."

Lippi asked all the players to come to the middle.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"The Chinese team will win!"

"The Chinese team will win!"

"The Chinese team will win!"

It's burning up!

Zhang Yuning rushed out directly and Tang Ye followed behind him!
"Okay, welcome back, dear audience friends, this is the second half of the Asian qualifiers match between the Chinese national football team and Iran!"

The game starts at 7pm, and now it’s around 8pm, which is prime time.

According to CCTV's current data, the cumulative number of viewers is 6900 million (including those who dropped out midway), and the number of viewers per minute is 2670 million.

Simply put, there are 2670 million real-time online users!

This is quite an exaggerated statistic!

Snapped!
Zhang Linpeng's long pass went directly to Zhang Yuning in the middle.

Tang Ye ran over quickly: "Give it to me, give it to me"

Zhang Yuning jumped up, headed the ball to Tang Ye, and then ran forward.

Facing the ball rolling towards him, Tang Ye didn't hesitate at all and kicked the ball forward with the arch of his foot!

Give it back to Zhang Yuning!
Zhang Yuning dribbles the ball forward!
Tang Ye and other players followed quickly.

When he reached the top of the arc, Zhang Yuning passed the ball to Wu Lei on the right.

ok!

Tang Ye caught this information with his eyes, and then quickly ran towards Wu Lei's location.

Take Ezatolahi away first!
When Ezatolahi was running towards him, Tang Ye shook for a moment, then suddenly turned around and ran directly back to his position in the middle.

Wu Lei reacted quickly and made an inverted triangle pass directly to the top of the arc.

Perfect opportunity!
Still 1 meter away from the ball, Tang Ye quickly looked up.

Two options.

Left-foot shot or...

The outside of the right foot!
Because his body was lying sideways, Tang Ye finally chose the outside of his right foot!

Snapped!
[Modric outside of the foot pass] Template!
However, Tang Ye chose to use the template for shooting!
The ball flew up from the grass near the top of the arc and passed in front of center back Montazeri.

Turn right and fly directly towards the goal!

"We have the ball!"

Although it was not a blind spot, Tang Ye's shot with the outside of his foot hit the post.

Belwand jumped from the middle position but couldn't reach the ball with his hand.

"Tang Ye!"

"Score with the outside of your foot!"
