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

Chapter 36 Mr. Eric, You Need to Believe Me
Looking at the time, Utrecht's next game against Zwolle will start in less than a week.

Tang Ye can wait, but he really wants to get the Portuguese treasure chest.

After some psychological struggle, Tang Ye knocked on the door of Ten Hahe's office.

dong dong!

"Please come in!"

"Wow?"

Finding that the person coming was Tang Ye, Ten Hahe put down the information about Zwolle in his hand and said, "What's the matter? Do you want to take a leave tomorrow?"

"No"

Tang Ye greeted Van der Gag, who was sitting on the sofa reading a football newspaper, and then walked straight forward.

"That's... the day after tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow? You're not going to take a day off during the competition, are you? I won't let you take a day off during the competition, not even the day after tomorrow. We have to practice endurance the day after tomorrow."

Ten Hahe said as he sorted out his documents. Tang Ye pulled the office chair in the corner and sat in front of Ten Hahe: "Eric, you are wrong. I am not that kind of person. I will not ask for leave."

"I'm going to give you a free holiday tomorrow and you don't even want it?" Ten Hah raised his eyebrows.

"Is it true or not? It doesn't need to be repaired?"

Tang Ye's eyes lit up, and then he realized that he had been tricked. He quickly coughed to ease the embarrassment: "No, sir, I was just joking with you. What I meant was that no matter whether it is true or not, whether I need to make up for it or not, I will not ask for leave."

"I am focused on the team's training"

Tang Ye's eyes were firm. It was the first time that Ten Hahe saw this expression in Tang Ye's eyes. For some reason, he just wanted to laugh.

"Oh, sorry, I just thought of something happy"

"Mr. Eric, you should be serious. I am very serious now."

Tang Ye reminded him. Ten Hag coughed twice and then sat up straight: "Yes, I should be more serious. Okay, what are you going to tell me? Do you want a salary increase? I can talk to the club for you."

"no"

Tang Ye shook his head and pointed at the documents in Ten Hahe's hand.

"Do you want to see this?"

Ten Hag handed the thing in his hand to Tang Ye. It was the information collected by Van der Gag, which recorded the characteristics of each Zwolle player and the tactics that their coach Ormond liked to use.

The information was very detailed, so detailed that Tang felt he could become a coach with it.

Tang Ye returned the information to Ten Hag: "If I want to start in the next game, will there be a chance?"

"..."

"You told me about this last time. The fact is that you can't be too anxious now."

Ten Hag replied.

He also didn't expect that Tang Ye would look for him twice for the starting position.

"I feel like I can start now and I can run the whole game."

There was a hint of bravado in Tang Ye's words.

But to be honest, if he has a bottle of Vardy Red Bull before the game, it is not impossible for him to play for 90 minutes.

"Well... I know you've been making great progress recently. I've seen your determination and that you're trying to find ways to become better."

Ten Hag gently rubbed the index finger of his left hand with his right hand.

He also has difficulties.

That is because Tang Ye is too young.

At the age of 16, he started in the Eredivisie.

What the hell is this concept!
"Mr. Eric, I think you should trust me once, just like you put me on the field during the Dutch Cup"

Tang Ye had already prepared his speech.

He must impress Ten Hag today!

For his start.

And for that Portuguese treasure chest!

"..."

hiss--

Ten Hahe took a deep breath.

He was silent for almost 20 seconds. "Well, we still have three days left. If you don't come late every day for the next three days, I can consider letting you start."

Ten Hag also made his decision.

"Don, you know you don't have the ability to start in the Eredivisie right now, but if you are willing to impress me with your attitude, you will have a chance."

Ten Hag gave a vague answer.

It was so vague that Tang Ye still had no idea whether he would have a chance to start in the next game.

But since Ten Haage said so, Tang Ye could only do as he said.

I'm afraid I'll have to set the alarm half an hour earlier for the next three days!
Tang Ye walked out of the door, then remembered something, opened the door again, and looked sideways into the room.

But this time he only showed his head.

"Mr. Eric, you need to trust me!"

"Thank you!"

"I know, I know, remember to close the door!"

Snapped!
After the door was closed for the second time, Van der Gahe, who was sitting on the sofa, put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Mr. Eric, why did you deceive a 16-year-old player?"

"I cheated on him. What did I cheat on him about?"

Ten Hahe curled his lips indifferently and picked up the documents in his hand again.

"He already has the ability to play in the Eredivisie. It's Ayub's fault if you don't let him start."

As a member of the coaching staff, Van der Gaag knows the details.

Jansen and Ramsselaar are both absolute starters. If Tang Ye wants to start, he has to take Ayub's position.

That's where Ayub comes in.

Ayyub has made a lot of contributions to Utrecht and his seniority is much older than ten Hag.

If Ayub is removed from the starting lineup directly due to poor initial results, there may be problems in Utrecht's locker room!
This is what Ten Hag is most worried about now!
"I don't think you can lock a player into the starting lineup just because he's made outstanding contributions before. That's..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking."

Ten Hag looked up and stopped Van der Gag who was talking: "I'll think about it, okay, stop talking"

……

In the next few days, Tang Ye adjusted the alarm clock as planned.

For the training at 8:8, he needs to arrive at the cafeteria at 7 o'clock to have lunch. Taking into account the time required to complete daily tasks, Tang Ye needs to get up at o'clock in the morning.

This was a challenge for Tang Ye, but he did succeed in the end.

Tang Ye arrived at the training ground early for three consecutive days and fulfilled Ten Hag's request.

On the last morning, after careful consideration, Tang Ye gave up the opportunity to talk to Ten Hahe.

It has already come to this.

If Tang Ye can start, then he can start.

If you can't be the first to start, it's useless to say anything.

He needs to wait!
Looking forward to tomorrow's game!
For some reason, Tang Ye was a little excited now.

This was a kind of excitement of anticipation, which made Tang Ye, who originally had no interest in training, become passionate.

……

The time came to 10:23 pm on October 2rd, Amsterdam time.

At this time, there is still half an hour left before the 10th round of the Eredivisie match between Zwolle and Utrecht.

Utrecht released the starting lineup for this game on both Twitter and Instagram.

The most eye-catching one is the forward line.

99 Tang Y（U17）

The three big words "U17" strike the hearts of the fans.

Eredivisie!

U17 players start!
