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

Chapter 241 The last month of the season is here, and we will face Ajax again in the semi-finals!
"Tom, Tom, come on, come on, look at this!"

In the locker room, Bruno called Tang Ye over and then showed him the news that had just popped up on his mobile phone.

"What's wrong Bruno?"

Laliga official, the list of candidates for the best player of April:
1. Tang Ye (Villarreal).

2. Griezmann (Atletico Madrid).

3. Castro (Real Betis).

4. Morata (Real Madrid).

5. Messi (Barcelona).

Tang Ye was still staring at the screen. Bruno smiled at him and said, "How about this? Will this be your third Player of the Month?"

Tang Ye did not answer in a hurry, but used his index finger to scroll down the screen of Bruno's phone.

He was shortlisted for La Liga's Player of the Month for April, and Mr. Ferran was also shortlisted for the Best Coach of the Month for April.

“I think I should be able to get it.”

Tang Ye raised his head and said, "I played well in the games in April, what do you think, Bruno?"

"Ha ha!"

Bruno grabbed Tang Ye's shoulders and squeezed them a few times, and the latter quickly ran away: "But Marty said that now that the April competition is over, we have to start preparing for May!"

Although Villarreal has a busy schedule in April, they do not face any strong opponents.

But May was different.

This is the last month of the La Liga season and the last month of the Europa League.

“5月3日，我们要踢阿贾克斯……然后是5月6日，我们要踢巴塞罗那。还有11日，11日又要再踢一次阿贾克斯”

Cheryshev read out the schedule for Villarreal's first few games in May.

"I don't know about Barcelona, ​​but we don't need to be nervous about Ajax"

Bruno rested his hands on the stools on both sides, looking relaxed, which made Tang Ye a little confused: "Why doesn't Ajax need to be nervous? Ajax has a chance to win the Eredivisie this season."

"Because we have Ajax's nemesis in our team, and that's him!"

"Tom, Tom!"

"Don't do that, don't do that!"

Tang Ye was a little embarrassed by the praise and quickly waved his hands: "Ajax is very good, they are very good. I watched the match between Utrecht and Ajax the night before last, and they were in very good shape."

“We are in good shape too.”

Alai came over from behind and said: "Tom, you have to lead us to victory"

"This is difficult, but...Sebastian, I will try my best!"

……

The front page headline of "China Football News" - Barcelona's La Masia youth training base and Shandong Taishan Luneng Football School have established a strategic partnership. The two parties will share some training materials, and La Masia needs to pay Luneng Football School 120 million euros in "learning fees."

The front page headline of "AS" - La Masia's youth training directors are very confident. They think that in a few years a genius will emerge in La Masia, but this is obviously unrealistic. Not all players have the same talent as Tom, and La Masia's players may not be able to learn the advanced football concepts from China.

Spanish Channel Six: It is quite stupid for Real Madrid not to attach importance to youth training. If the youth training base can cultivate talented players, it can help the club save a lot of transfer fees.

"Spain International" - King Felipe VI praised Barcelona's positive attitude to learning. "If the Spanish national team can reach the semi-finals of the World Cup next year, I will go to Russia to watch the game."

The match between Villarreal and Barcelona was about to start in less than two weeks, but Barcelona unknowingly copied Tang Ye's hometown.

The April competition ended quickly, and Tang Ye stayed at home playing games for two days. Before he knew it, May had arrived.

"Rod, do you know that May 5st is Labor Day in our place? Well, it means we have to work."

On the training ground, Tang Ye and Rodri beside him talked slowly.

“Then why are you sitting?”

Rodri spread his hands and looked at Tang Ye who was sitting on the ball in front of him. The latter had not yet tied his shoelaces.

"Mr. Feilan hasn't arrived yet, don't worry. If you warm up now and then it gets cold, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

Ok……

Rodri felt that what Tang Ye said made sense, so he asked Costa to kick a ball to him and sat on it.

"Tom, the season is about to end. Have you thought about what to do after the holiday?"

Tang Ye blinked his eyes: "Rod, are you thinking about taking a vacation now? We still have 6 games to play."

“One month has passed quickly.”

"Okay, but I don't think I'll have much time off."

Tang Ye hung his head: "The coach of the national team contacted me. I will go back to China directly after the game here. The next game is about to start, and... I also need to prepare for the college entrance examination. Um, that is, the high school graduation exam over there."

Rodri doesn't care about the college entrance examination. His focus is on the national team that Tang Ye mentioned.

Rodri had two dreams when he was a child, one of which was to play for a club in the top five leagues, which he has now realized.

The second dream is to play for the Spanish national team.

Considering the actual situation of the Spanish national team, the second dream is much more difficult than the first one.

"Um, Tom."

Rodri patted Tang Ye's calf and brought back the latter's lost thoughts.

"Hey, Tom, if you have decided which team you will join next season, can you tell me?"

"Of course, I'll tell you all."

Tang Ye and Rodri bumped fists.

Just at this time, Escrivá finished his communication with President Roig in the office and returned to the training ground.

This morning it was just some simple speed training, but Rodri was always absent-minded.

Rodri is a very smart man.

Tang Ye will definitely go to a top club next season. Rodri's current strength may not be able to support him to start in a top club, but if he goes with Tang Ye, the terrifying chemical reaction between him and Tang Ye can help him get some opportunities.

That is the opportunity Rodri needs to seize!
……

The front page headline of "Amsterdam Evening News" - Facing La Liga dark horse Villarreal at home, can Ajax overcome its inner demons?
Johan Cruyff Arena!
"Our opponents are in great form and they have a good chance of becoming the Eredivisie champions this season"

“But I don’t think that’s a problem.”

Escriva crossed his arms and then opened them: "It's not a problem, we have beaten them twice, so we can beat them again"

The game was about to start, and all the Villarreal players gathered in the locker room.

"Tom, do you want to come?"

"Thank you! Let me do it!"

Standing and waiting for his teammates to put their hands in the middle, Tang Ye began to count down.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

Take a deep breath!
"Vamos Villarreal!"

Pinned by the football expert: In the first leg of the Europa League semi-final, Villarreal plays away against Ajax, with Tang Ye and Dolberg leading the starting lineup.

"China Central Radio and Television! This is a live broadcast for you..."

"Players from both teams are already on the field and ready to go!"

"The referee is looking at his watch!"

"The game begins! Now let me introduce the starting lineups of both teams, starting with the home team Ajax!"

Ajax (4-3-3)

Goalkeeper: Onana
Defenders: Tate, Davinson Sanchez, De Ligt, Riedewald
Midfielders: Klaassen, Schone, Ziyech
Forwards: Traore, Dolberg, Younes
Head coach: Bosz
"Both teams used their most standard starting lineups this season, with all the main players on the field. This is enough to show that they both have ideas about the Europa League final."

"It's like this, Villarreal is the more favored side in this game because Ajax has lost to Villarreal twice this season"

"But it's a bit too early to draw a conclusion now. After all, there is a big difference between last year's Ajax and this year's Ajax."

As soon as the game started, Ajax directly moved the attack line to the front position.

Apparently they had studied their semi-final opponents carefully!
The high-intensity pressing in the frontcourt made it impossible for Villarreal's defense to pass the ball.

This way the great Tom won’t be able to get the ball!
"Give me this, give me this!"

Musacchio had just got the ball and was about to pass it to Rodri who was waiting in front, when Traore ran directly towards him.

Traore was very fast, and the sudden pressure made Musacchio dare not pass the ball forward.

I can only give it to Costa on the left first!
After noticing that Musacchio had passed the ball away, Traore ran in an arc and rushed directly towards Costa.

Traore knows that pressing like this may not necessarily help the team get the ball, but he has to do it.

Because this is the way to defend against Villarreal!

The best defense is to keep pressing the offense.

At least this statement is true when the opponent is Villarreal!

Traore ran towards him, Costa hesitated for a step, then Traore suddenly accelerated and rushed directly in front of Costa.

Depend on!
Costa quickly turned around and protected the ball.

Klassen is also heading here!
If that doesn't work, then we can only kick the ball out of the sideline!
"Goalkeeper, goalkeeper!"

Tang Ye shouted twice, and Costa reacted and passed the ball directly to Asenho who ran out of the penalty area.

"Wow!"

"Grab him, grab him!"

"Shoot, shoot!"

There was no one in Villarreal's goal and the fans in the stands went wild.

Snapped!
Asenho kicked the ball directly out of the sideline!
"Ajax!"

Boom!

"Ajax!"

Boom!

Less than 10 minutes into the game, the opponent's goalkeeper was forced to clear the ball, and the home team fans were greatly encouraged!

Although the team was in a clear disadvantage, Escriva did not say a word, but just secretly glanced at where Bos was.

There was no expression on Bosch's face, but Escrivá could see that this guy was under a lot of pressure!
Ajax wanted to show their momentum at the beginning of the game today and then suppress Villarreal.

This style of play is risky. If Ajax didn't score a goal in the first half, they would probably explode in the second half!
"Steady, steady!" "Tom, back off! Back off!"

Slightly adjust Tang Ye's position, but the overall tactics will not change!

“They will pay a price.”

Sitting back in his chair, Escriva whispered to Marty beside him.

“But I feel like we might actually concede a goal.”

Marty showed the computer screen to Escrivá.

So far, Villarreal's frontcourt players have hardly touched the ball!

The time has come to the 17st minute!

boom!
Dolberg and Rodri collided with each other, and finally Dolberg successfully ran towards the top of the arc with the ball.

Bruno complained to the referee, but the referee did not say anything.

Dolberg did not commit a foul!

Something is going to happen!

Tang Ye quickly ran to the backcourt.

His current position is very close to Dolberg, so he can try to see if there is any chance...

Sneak in a tackle!
Knock Dolberg to the ground!

At this time, Dolberg suddenly turned his head and stared at Tang Ye.

Tang Ye: ...

Snapped!
Dolberg passed the ball to the wing in advance!

It was definitely impossible to steal the ball, so Tang Ye could only stick to Dolberg and prevent him from running into the penalty area.

Younis is near the left baseline!

Fake move to scare Gaspar!
Cross pass to Traore at the back post!

Tang Ye was not in a hurry and held Dolberg's position tightly.

As for Traore, that's up to his teammates!

Get the ball outside the penalty area!

Rush into the penalty area!
Left foot to right foot!

Shoot directly!

"The ball is in!"

"Traore!"

The Johan Cruyff Arena was in turmoil.

Ajax scored the first goal!
"Hey, referee!"

Bruno and Allais went to the referee and said that Dolberg's collision with Rodri was a foul.

"It was definitely a foul, you should have disallowed their goal!"

Villarreal players thought they were the more reasonable party, but unfortunately the referee ignored their complaints.

The goal is valid!

Tang Ye felt uncomfortable while chewing gum.

When Dolberg was advancing with the ball, he should have created a blind spot.

What a pity!

“xuuu——!!!”

After taking the lead, Ajax fans began their taunting of the visiting team.

Among them, Tang Ye was particularly targeted by them.

"Tom!"

“xuuu——!!!”

Tang Ye is considered to be the nemesis of Ajax.

But it turns out that this statement is wrong!

Ajax was the first to score against Villarreal, and they were the side with the greater advantage in this game!
As for Tom?

He couldn't even touch the ball!

"My day..."

Shaking his head, Tang Ye did not expect that he would be targeted by Ajax fans like this.

hiss--

Remember that you haven't done anything bad, right?
“Why was I scolded?”

Tang Ye turned around, wanting to get an answer from Bruno.

Because he felt Bruno knew everything.

However, Bruno did not answer Tang Ye's question: "Just respond to them with a goal. They won't be able to keep playing like this for long!"

The time came to the 31st minute of the first half!

At this time, Villarreal has slowly regained some ball possession, but only a little. Ajax's pressing in the frontcourt is still very exaggerated!

"We have the ball!"

"Traore again!"

"Traore's condition today is simply impeccable!"

"2:0!"

"Ajax is leading!"

The home team's stands were boiling with excitement, while the Villarreal players on the field lowered their heads.

"Ajax's tactics have achieved great success. If Villarreal wants to equalize the score, they need to think of a way quickly!"

Live match report from the Football Emperor: Traore scored with a cold shot from outside the penalty area, and Ajax beat Villarreal 2:0 at home.

[Esheng, what are you doing, Esheng]

[Bos has found the secret to playing against Villarreal. If Tang Ye doesn't go back, he won't be able to get the ball, but if he goes back, he won't be able to participate in the attack.]

[At this time, someone needs to step up and help Tang Qiuwang to speed up. Yes, I am talking about Ten Hag]

[Ajax's tactics are really disgusting. How can they play in the second half? ]

[Leading by 2 goals in the first half, Ajax just needed to defend in the second half. They have found the secret to defeating Villarreal]

"Ajax!!"

At the top of the East Stand, there were fans waving the Ajax team flag.

In the group stage, Ajax was defeated twice by Villarreal. Today they finally have a chance for revenge!

"De ploeg de dapp're meersche helden～ (Brave and fearless heroes)"

"I am proud of you."

"Alom gevreesd in heel den land~ (This land trembles because of you)"

"Ajax!"

"Ajax!"

"Ajax!"

The momentum of the fans in the stands is a bit exaggerated!
There is no way, Ajax fans really want to get rid of Tom!
They want revenge for the former Ajax coach who was fired by Tom!

42th minute!

Continuous high-intensity pressing caused physical problems for the Ajax striker.

Tang Ye's touches of the ball also started to increase!

"Just go, just go!"

After greeting his teammates, Tang Ye passed the ball directly to the baseline!
[De Bruyne's through pass level 4: realistic]!
"Pretty!"

"Tang Ye's through ball was very stable and accurately found Gaspar at the bottom line on the right."

"Bakambu is following!"

Bakambu ran in front of Gaspar to receive the ball, and the latter decisively passed the ball.

While Bakambu and Gaspar were cooperating, Tang Ye observed the penalty area in front of him.

Reach out for the ball!

Snapped!
Bakambu's inverted triangle pass to Tang Ye!
Run forward and catch the ball!

Sanchez wanted to come up to intercept, but Tang Ye paused, accelerated, and then bypassed Sanchez.

Familiar feeling!
There is no technique at all, it's all about the rhythm of the body!
Snapped!
Move laterally in front of the top of the arc to look for opportunities.

Look up at the upper left corner of the goal.

In fact, Tang Ye knew where the goal was, and he did this action for the Ajax defenders and goalkeeper to see!
Snapped!
[Mbappe aims far and shoots close template]!
The ball went in!
The eyes are looking at the upper left corner, but the shot is hitting the lower right corner.

Goalkeeper Onana had no time to react at all!

[You get counterattack points*15]

"Vamos!!!"

Tang Ye roared at Sansone.

He found the feeling!

Half-time report from the Football Emperor: Tang Ye scored with a push shot from outside the penalty area, and Villarreal trailed Ajax 1:2 at halftime.

Although they were one goal behind, Escrivá had a smile on his face as he walked back to the locker room.

Ajax played too pretentiously in the first 35 minutes.

But showing off in front of Villarreal will definitely come at a price!

"hurry up!"

"Tom, stop greeting the fans, they are Ajax fans, not your fans!"
