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

Chapter 280 Hat trick! When should Rodri come on as a substitute?
The third round of the English League Cup, Manchester United vs. Burton Albion, is in progress. The current score is 3:0 and Rashford has scored.

[Manchester United’s attack is really fierce]

[It turns out that Ten Hag’s choice was indeed correct]

[Burton shouldn't play 532, play 541, otherwise he will be beaten]

The situation on the field was completely tilted towards Manchester United, even in the comment section.

Only 8% of all fans who voted worldwide supported Burton.

The situation on the Chinese team is even more exaggerated. Because of the existence of the great GGBond, only 3% of the fans stand on Burton's side.

And among these 3% fans who support Burton, 95% are Liverpool fans.

For example, Tang Ye’s father.

"I just learned about this rule, Mata"

Walking in the corridor, Tang Ye and Mata talked about what happened in the first half: "However, our goal was indeed not easy, so we should celebrate"

Mata sucked his hands with mineral water: "Fans have different views. When the time comes, fans who don't like you will post comments on Twitter, saying that you only bully teams in lower leagues."

"Then do I not need to care about the fans who don't like me? I have many fans who like me."

Tang Ye looked serious.

Since his debut in Utrecht's first team, more and more people have supported him.

The Galgenwaard Stadium, the Ceramics Stadium and Old Trafford, these three stadiums are bigger than each other, and the shouts from the fans that Tang Ye heard were getting louder and louder.

So he knows that there are many people who like him!
"But you need to pay attention to public opinion. Okay Tom, go in quickly."

Mata pushed Tang Ye into the locker room from behind.

As usual, Ten Hag first talked about the problems the team encountered in the first half, and then the subsequent substitutions and adjustments.

Before Ten Hag could speak, Tang Ye turned around and glanced at Rodri who was sitting next to him.

Rodri grabbed the legs of the stool with both hands.

Tang Ye didn't know what to do, so he could only pat the muscles on Rodri's arm.

"In the second half, Carrick and Rodri came on, still with a 4231 formation with two defensive midfielders"

Tang Ye punched Rodri's arm quickly with his fist: "Rodri, I told you that you would have a chance, I told you that"

"Ha ha"

Rodri reached into Tang Ye's pocket and took out a piece of chewing gum.

The familiar mint-flavored chewing gum, Rodri knew this was a perfect opportunity for him to prove his ability to Ten Hag!

51th minute of the second half!

"Rodri comes on as a substitute"

Wang Chao's eyes lit up: "Brothers who started watching Tang Ye's games last season should all know Rodri, so I won't introduce him here."

"There was news before that Tang Ye asked Ten Hag to buy Rodri... No, where did you hear that news?"

"My fans who hate Rodri are just hating him for the sake of hating him. Ten Hag must have bought him because he thinks Rodri is good. Tang Ye will not interfere with Manchester United's transfer window."

"Tang Ye and Ten Hag controlled the Manchester United transfer window... Come on, property manager, seal this LKS2321"

After Rodri came on the pitch, Ten Hag arranged him on the left side, while Carrick was placed on the right.

Although he never gave the Spanish midfielder any chance, Ten Hag also had some understanding of Rodri.

When Rodri was at Villarreal last season, he played on the left side!

"huhuhuhu"

Rodri started panting shortly after coming on the court.

Of course this was not a breath of fatigue, Rodri was very nervous now.

The "442" newspaper pointed out in detail the two problems Manchester United is facing now.

Pass the ball from the backcourt and defend the gap in the middle!
Rodri has great ambitions. He knows that if he can solve the problems Manchester United is facing now, he will have the opportunity to break into the team's starting lineup!
So what exactly should he do now?

This is not a problem.

Rodri knows a very powerful formula!

Keep an eye on Tom's butt, and his post-game rating will increase by 0.4-1.5 points!
Manchester United started attacking!

Rodri had a serious expression on his face. He was not in a hurry to first look at the situation in the front court, and then look at Tang Ye's butt.

Based on Rodri's understanding of Tang Ye, at this time he should...

"Wow!"

The fans in the stands burst into cheers. Tang Ye flicked the ball to the right the moment he stopped the ball, and then he followed to the right.

It has to be Tom!

Rodri's eyes lit up and he ran up quickly.

He is not very familiar with the players in Manchester United, but it doesn't matter.

Tom is the team's tempo master.

So Rodri only needs to get familiar with Tom to keep up with the team's rhythm!
What is Rodri best at?
What he is best at is cooperating with Tom!

"King Tang, left! Pass to Mata!"

"Mata stepped on the ball, No. 17, who is this No. 17 on the opposite side?"

"Forget it, let's see what Mata does"

"It hasn't been transmitted yet! It hasn't been transmitted yet! Damn it, it hasn't been transmitted yet!"

"Pass it on, pass it on to Tang Ye!"

"Perfect!"

Manchester United's two-pass combination was launched, and Tang Ye ran quickly to the baseline.

Run and observe!

Rashford's position on the left is stuck, which is a very uncomfortable thing.

Martial has a small space, but Tang Ye will not pass the ball to him.

Tang Ye knew that Martial was not good at confrontation. If he passed the ball at this time, Martial would definitely be intercepted by the opponent!

Inverted triangle pass!
[Proficiency reached, you get: De Bruyne's inverted triangle pass level 1]

[De Bruyne inverted triangle pass lv1→De Bruyne inverted triangle pass lv2]

[De Bruyne's inverted triangle pass level 2: similar]

Proficiency: 158/200
[Pass: 88 → 88]

Reaching the proficiency requirement activates a new skill, but that’s not the point right now.

What do you say about Rod!
Running out from the middle, Rodri used his body to knock Akpan away, and then fired a long shot directly out.

boom!
The goalkeeper jumped up and pushed the ball over the crossbar!

"Depend on!"

Rodri held his head in his hands.

It’s really just a little bit short!
"it's okay no problem"

Tang Ye and Rodri, who were running towards the top of the arc, gave a thumbs up: "There is still a chance, there is still a chance!"

Manchester United had a corner kick opportunity, and Ten Hag sat on the bench and thought.

Less than 10 minutes after coming on the pitch, he found an opportunity for a long shot, which was also very threatening.

Rodri is awesome!

Seeing Ten Hag's expression, Van der Jag raised his eyebrows: "I told you this guy has great potential"

Players like Rodri who use their brains to play football generally become famous later, because their growth requires a lot of game experience.

Tom also plays football with his brain, but he is different from other players who play football with their brains.

His competition experience comes from playing games, and his learning ability is amazing.

A real match lasts 90 minutes, but Tom only needs 10 minutes of game time to gain 90 minutes of game experience.

Rodri is the beggar version of Tang Ye!

Well, Vandergaard was very satisfied with the results of his thinking, so he switched the screen.

Rodri (defensive midfielder, playmaker)
Template: Tom
"..."

Looking at what he had written on the screen, Vandergaard felt that it was still a little inadequate, so he added a little more.

Template: Tom (not a striker).

shortcoming:……

What are Rodri's weaknesses and what limits his development at Manchester United?
Not fast enough? Not strong enough?

No, none of that.

Putting his hands on the keyboard, Vandergaard typed quickly.

Disadvantages: Lack of experience playing for Utrecht and difficulty gaining the trust of the head coach.

Just as Van der Gag was handling his own business, the fans in the stands behind him suddenly roared.

Looking over quickly, Martial lost the ball in the frontcourt and Burton launched a quick counterattack.

Burton launched an attack in the middle, and Tang Ye's role was very crucial at this time.

but……

"Depend on!"

Vandergaard suddenly stood up, notebook in hand.

Why are you in the penalty area, Tom!

Mata retreated and blocked a midfielder. Bendtner was temporarily unable to pass the ball, so he ran forward with the ball himself.

boom!
Rodri rushed forward and accurately intercepted Bendtner.

"Awesome Rodri!"

Wang Chao stood up!

Bendtner wanted to reach out and pull Rodri, but Rodri broke free.

Where is Tom!
Find the location of the restricted area.

Passing the ball is not an option, the ball to Tom must be a through pass!
boom!
A steady through ball into the penalty area.

Tang Ye stretched out his feet.

Shoot without stopping the ball!
"G——OOOOO——AAAA——LLLLLL!!!"

"Wait, wait, a few more have come in."

"Oh my god! Three, three!"

Bang bang bang!
Wang Chao slammed the keyboard.

"Tang Ye hat trick!"

"King of football, Goat!"

[You get counterattack points*10]

[Hat trick, you get extra counterattack points*40]

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye was just about to run out to celebrate, but then he remembered what Uncle Mata had said to him, so he stopped.

"Let's go!" Mata ran in from outside the penalty area and pushed Tang Ye's back: "Celebrate! Celebrate! Why are you standing there!"

"Mata, don't lie to me, I know I can't celebrate"

"Hat trick! Hat trick!"

Mata ran to the front and pulled Tang Ye with Rodri.

In lower-level leagues, you cannot celebrate if you score a goal, but if it is a hat trick, then you need to celebrate.

After figuring out the truth, Tang Ye ran out with his good friend Rod and his respected Uncle Mata.

"3, 2, 1!"

"Vamos!"

Tang Ye and Rodri shouted in unison, while Mata stood stupidly on the sidelines.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally shouted along.

"vamos!"

Manchester United fans were jumping up and down in the stands.

"viva TomTom!"

"viva TomTom!"

Tang Ye and Rodri put their arms around each other's shoulders and raised one hand each to greet the fans in the stands.

Although Rodri's shoulders are not broad, they have large muscles, so Tang Ye can put his hands on Rodri's shoulders very steadily.

He loves this feeling!

"United!"

Boom!

"United!"

Boom!

……

Football Emperor Report: Tang Ye scored a hat trick, Rodri scored as a substitute, Manchester United beat Burton 4-0 at home in the English League Cup and advanced to the next round. (Comments: 21319)

A League Cup match received more than 2 comments in a short period of time, and Tang Ye's hat trick accounted for at least half of the credit.

Remember this was Tang Ye’s first hat trick since joining Manchester United!
[Manchester United's striker is not at the same level as Villarreal, Rashford is really ruthless]

[Fake fans: Manchester United's strongest striker is Rashford; real fans: Manchester United's strongest striker is Tang Ye]

[Add a gambling fan: Except Tang Ye, all other Manchester United players are rookies]

[So Rodri still has to play. Although he makes more mistakes than Herrera, Manchester United will be counterattacked half as often if Rodri is on the court]

[I suggest you train more with Rodri. I feel like Rodri hasn’t fully adapted to the Premier League yet]

"Ya no te creo, ya no te deseo (eh-oh)"

“Sólo te dejo, sólo te deseo (eh-oh)”

"Mira, Sofía~~~~"

In Rodrigo's little Opel, the stereo was turned up to full volume and the windows were open.

Tang Ye, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and Rodri, who was driving, sang loudly together.

“Sin tu mirada sigo!”

“Sin tu mirada sigo!”

"Ha ha!"

clap clap!

Tang Ye clapped his hands vigorously and drove into the city. Rodri turned down the volume. Tang Ye quickly closed the window, then leaned against it and looked out carefully: "Wow, no one should have discovered us, right?"

Tang Ye and Dembele agreed to play games together after training.

Look at your phone.

He's going to be late by 12 minutes!
While waiting for the traffic light, Rodri looked around and said, "No, this car is new and they don't know my license plate number."

"Ha ha"

Tang Ye leaned back in his seat, reached his right hand under the seat, and took out his chewing gum very skillfully.

Chewing in his mouth: "It's a pity that I have to play games tonight. Rod, tomorrow we can drive around the place next to the base. It's the place with a lot of grass. The road is very narrow."

"Western Suburbs!"

While steering, Rodri gave the answer.

"I don't know what it's called, but I know there's a lot of grass and not many people."

"Sofia" is a very nice song, and Tang Ye feels like he hasn't sung it enough.

"We can go together then. I think we can also invite Mata and Marcus?"

"It's all right. I'll talk to them about this during training tomorrow."

Tang Ye pulled up the chair: "Rod, I scored a hat trick yesterday, and I am still very happy. Is this normal?"

Rodri took a look from the passenger seat: "I think it's normal. I'm happy to have an assist."

The two midfielders of Villarreal are still happy about yesterday's game.

The reason is simple, both Tom and Rod performed very well in the game, so it was a very happy game!
"Yes, Rod, your pass was amazing. I thought you would pass it to my feet, but you passed it to the front!"

Reaching his hands to the back and hugging the seat, Tang Ye stretched out in the car.

"I know you like me to pass to that position"

"Ha ha"

Hit Rodri's arm with a fist.

This is the bond!

Thinking of something, Tang Ye took out the cell phone from his pocket.

Take a look at Manchester United's upcoming schedule.

September 9: Southampton vs Manchester United (Premier League Round 23).

September 9: Feyenoord vs Manchester United (Champions League group stage second round)
September 9: Manchester United vs. Crystal Palace (Premier League Round 30).

"We're going to play Southampton the day after tomorrow, Rod, do you think you'll get a text message from Mr. Eric in the evening?"

"Um……"

Rodri pursed his lips.

"I think it might take some time?"

"It's not far anyway! Hey, red light, red light!"

……

That night, Tang Ye and Dembele were playing games.

It has been one month since Dembele transferred to Barcelona. His Spanish has improved a lot, so it is much easier for Tang Ye to communicate with him now.

The bond between comrades-in-arms has become even stronger!

Meanwhile, Ten Hag was brooding at his home in Manchester.

[To be honest, Ten Hag is really amazing. IP location: Japan]

[It’s like this. Some fans said that buying Tom for 1.8 million was a loss. Now they are all clowns! IP location: Mexico]

[Both signings are good, and Ten Hag's vision is really good. IP location: Hong Kong, China]

[Indeed, as long as Ten Hag plays Tang Ye as the tactical core, I will support Ten Hag for life! IP location: United States]

Looking at the comments from fans in the comment section, Ten Hag frowned.

I don’t know why, but since the beginning of this season, more and more people have suddenly supported him, and they are fans from all over the world!

Ten Hag was obviously great as he led a depleted Manchester United to fourth place in the league last season.

As a result, the stupid fans only realized it this season!

But it's always a good thing to react.

Ten Hahe chuckled.

It turns out that as long as he emphasizes his greatness many times, Manchester United fans will remember his greatness firmly!

Thinking of this, Ten Hah put his phone aside and pondered over the notebook on the table.

Starting midfielder: Mata, Tom, Herrera.

This season, Ten Hag will use his strongest tactics.

After fans see Manchester United’s outstanding results, they will sing the praises of head coach Erik ten Hag’s real name even louder!
Ten Hag pushed his notebook aside and placed van der Gag's notebook in front of him.

Manchester United's starting lineup for the next game has been determined.

But Ten Hag is now thinking about a question.

In the third round of the Carabao Cup, although Rodri made many mistakes, his overall performance was still quite outstanding and he was fully capable of taking on the role of Manchester United's substitute midfielder.

Now the question is...

Should we let Rodri come on right at the beginning of the second half?

Opening the notebook, Ten Hag looked at Rodri's data from the last game.

Played for 41 minutes.

32 of 24 passes were successful, 3 steals, 1 shot and 1 assist.

It seems that because he has been playing with Tang Ye for a long time, Rodri's passing success rate is not high.

So Rodri's best statistics in the last game were 3 steals and 1 assist.

but……

Ten Hag shook his head.

If it was just one assist, then he really wouldn't be able to give Rodri too many opportunities!

Read on to see what van der Jaghe wrote in his notebook.

Assisted 1 time: Helped Tom, who had already scored 2 goals, to complete a hat trick.

!!!

Damn!

Almost forgot!

Rodri's assist helped Tang Ye get his first hat trick in his Manchester United career!

"Huh, huh..."

Feeling indescribably excited, Ten Hah quickly picked up the ballpoint pen on the table.

Swish swish!
Starting midfielder: Rodri, Tom, Mata.

Ander Herrera is a very stable midfielder who always performs well in the game, so Ten Hag recognizes him very much.

but.

Ander, it's already the 6th round of the Premier League this season, but you haven't provided any assists to Tom.

This...how can I let you start at ease?
