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

Chapter 410 Who are you guarding against? Who the hell am I guarding against?

The first 15 minutes of halftime hadn't even completely passed when the number of comments on the halftime report had already exceeded 3.

Fans gathered in the comments section, and besides cheering and encouraging each other, some idle people started arguing.

When a team is behind, the head coach is often questioned, even a championship-winning coach like Lippi is no exception.

[They should have played with five defenders in the first half. Why were they attacking so aggressively? They've already qualified with a 0-0 score.]

What if Germany beats Senegal?

Let's play a bit more aggressively; it feels like the other side could tie at any moment.

Wow!!!

Amid cheers, the Chinese team players slowly emerged from the tunnel.

"Go Tang Ye!"

"Kill them, fuck, kill them!"

The second half has begun!

Standing in front of the Chinese team's bench are Wei Shihao and Gao Lin, who are warming up.

Two forwards were about to come on as substitutes, and the Chinese fans suddenly became excited.

Lippi wanted to equalize the score!

"It's still unknown when Wei Shihao and Gao Lin will be able to play..."

"Sweden team..."

Sweden also made no substitutions, and defensive midfielder Forsberg successfully switched the ball to the right wing with a long pass.

It's still for Marcus Berry.

This is a major breakthrough for Sweden's attack!

Because they wanted to improve their goal difference, the Swedish team played very aggressively.

Snapped!
Cross!

They wanted to launch a fast break, but the Chinese team caught on to their intention.

Larsson received the ball, adjusted his position, and passed it back to Ekdal.

Ekdal is getting the ball!

boom!
Tang Ye ran up from behind Ekdal and tackled the ball away before Ekdal could react.

The ball, which had been tackled away, came to Zhang Xizhe's feet.

"Forward!"

Getting up from the ground, Tang Ye urged his teammates to quickly dribble forward with the ball.

Now is the time to fight back!
"Look at number 10! Look at number 10!"

The Swedish coach shouted loudly, and Tang Ye, who had just stood up, was immediately double-teamed by two defenders.

But it doesn't matter.

Tang Ye still asked his teammates for the ball.

Use a feint to avoid the defense and get the ball.

Stand firmly on your supporting leg!
Snapped!
A long pass directly into the attacking third!
After completing the pass, Tang Ye was fouled and fell to the ground, but his attention was focused on the attacking third.

Zhang Yuning successfully controlled the ball.

"This is a one-on-one opportunity!"

The Swedish players were clearly surprised that Tang Ye could deliver such a high-quality pass even under pressure; several defenders were stunned when they tracked back.

Smash the door!

"We have the ball!"

"Zhang Yuning!"

Haha!

As soon as he stood up from the grass, Tang Ye and his teammates headed towards the front of the field.

but!

The linesman raised his flag!
The referee pressed his earpiece again and, on the advice of the video assistant referee, disallowed the goal scored by the Chinese team.

"Eh!"

"What! Zhang Yuning's goal has been disallowed! The score is still 1-2!"

"The Chinese players are getting a bit anxious; they've surrounded the referee."

The scene was very noisy, with Yu Hanchao and Zhang Xizhe communicating with the referee.

"Wait, wasn't that offside?"

Tang Ye clutched his head.

His positioning was too far back, and he was also being pressured by other players.

He knew Zhang Yuning's location by calculating it in his head.

As for whether there was offside...

This calculation problem seemed a bit beyond Tang Ye's comprehension.

"Don't mess with this, bro."

Tang Ye, of course, didn't want to give up on the goal and joined the debate: "No offside, really no offside!"

"Beep!"

The referee chased away the players who came up to argue.

Watch the replay

"Tang Ye passes the ball..."

"Oops, that's definitely offside, they're almost half a body length over!"

"The referee upheld his decision, the score remains 1-2!"

Depend on!
Tang Ye vented his dissatisfaction by scratching the grass with his shoe spikes.

It should have ended in a draw!
"It's okay, you can do it, keep it up!"

Madaloni started shouting again, and Lippi stood next to him like an old fool.

If it weren't for Lippi's immense reputation, fans might have mistaken Madaloni, dressed casually, for the Chinese national team's head coach.

"..."

Ten minutes later, in the 60th minute of the match, the Chinese team made their substitution.

Wei Shihao replaced Hao Junmin, and the Chinese national team changed from having a single attacking midfielder to having two attacking midfielders.

"Yes, the Chinese team benefited from using two attacking midfielders in the last match against Senegal, so they want to try it again today."

After Wei Shihao came on, the Chinese national team's possession rate dropped slightly, but their attack became much more aggressive.

"Don't move! Don't move!"

He signaled Wei Shihao to stay in the middle, while Tang Ye went directly to the right wing to support Wu Lei.

Tang Ye, Zhang Yuning, and Wu Lei executed the same quick, short-range passing combination they had practiced in training, with Zhang Yuning eventually receiving the ball and reaching the right byline.

China still chose to attack down the right flank!
Sweden's defenses have begun to tighten!

Snapped!
Wei Shihao reached for the ball, and Zhang Yuning passed it back in a triangular pass.

After controlling the ball and adjusting, Wei Shihao sent a through pass to Tang Ye, who had cut inside to the middle.

After receiving the ball, continue moving laterally.

Find an opportunity!
The left foot feinted a pass and then executed a sudden stop.

Tang Ye's feint was so realistic that it forced Ekdal to create distance between himself and Tang Ye in order to avoid being knocked over.

His teammates were asking for the ball, but Tang Ye remembered what Madaloni had emphasized to him, so he didn't choose to pass the ball out. Instead, he controlled the ball in the middle first.

"Let's go!"

Give directions to the left, then the right.

Chinese forwards are making back-and-forth runs!
clap clap!

A two-on-one pass can be executed!
Tang Ye ran past Ekdal on the right. Just as Ekdal was about to catch up, Tang Ye suddenly turned his right foot and used his heel to knock the ball between Ekdal's legs.

!

Knowing the situation was bad, Ekdal quickly turned around and pulled Tangye.

Tang Ye dodged to the side!

With his left hand pointing to the left pillar, Tang Ye forcefully planted his right foot.

A low, straight pass!

Find Zhang Yuning directly in front of the pillar!

"Make one more adjustment!"

"Just attack!"

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"It's still Zhang Yuning, but this goal shouldn't be offside!"

"No offside, I saw it clearly, there was absolutely no offside!"

"China has tied the score!"

You have gained 30 comeback points.

[Second assist for a goal, you gain an additional 60 comeback points]

"Roar!!!"

Tang Ye was about to run over to celebrate with Zhang Yuning when Zhang Linpeng and Wu Lei hugged him first.

"Brilliant!"

"Tang Ye is awesome!"

In the footage, Zhang Yuning roars at the fans in the stands.

The Chinese national football team's center forward's face was completely red, as if he was about to cry at any moment.

Oh no, she's already crying!
"Zhang Yuning!"

"Zhang Yuning!"

Dongqiudi Live Match Report: Tang Ye nutmegs and makes a cold pass to the far post, creating a good opportunity. Zhang Yuning easily pushes the ball into the net, and the Chinese team equalizes the score!
【god!】

[Guys, I've figured it out. That number 8 on the other side is just Tang Ye's toy. He keeps fouling. I really don't know what his purpose is.] [Holy crap, it's a tie.]

[Brothers, you should be more careful when betting on the Chinese national football team in the future. Tang Ye's strength can't be calculated by the odds. Look at those two little hand gestures directing his teammates' positioning. Could the Swedish midfielder do that?]

[Wow, this is amazing! Is this guy only got 30 points in math?]

[Upstairs, please stop. He led the team to the World Cup and even beat Germany. Stop bringing up Tang Ye's college entrance exam score.]

After the replay and the celebration shot of Zhang Yuning ended, the director focused on Tang Ye, and fans could clearly see the veins near Tang Ye's temples in the picture.

Of course, the director's intention was not to have the fans look at Tang Ye's veins.

He wanted to show the fans Tang Ye's head.

A CPU with only one core.

However, this core can handle tasks from 11 threads simultaneously!

CPU king GGBond.

That's incredible!

The Chinese players' celebration was not over yet, but the Swedish team did not urge them to stop because some unexpected things had happened within the team.

"You're going to let him come over?"

Granqvist shrugged at Ekdal: "Can't you just guard one person? I told you to keep your distance, can't you just play it safe by keeping your distance?"

"Fuck, what do I do?"

Ekdal shrugged: "What could I do? I never expected him to do something like this."

"No, just keep your distance. Is it that hard to defend against one person?"

Granqvist got a little carried away, and his teammates came over to separate the two, but then Ekdal came up again.

As captain, Granqvist felt challenged.

"Why can't you defend? I haven't been outmaneuvered by their forwards."

"Fuck!"

Ekdal continued walking forward, his teammates pulling him away, but Ekdal just kept muttering to himself, "Who the hell am I guarding? Who the hell are you guarding? Can you even be the same?"

"Forget it!"

Goalkeeper Olsen also came out and quickly pulled the two apart.

"Hiss, it seems like something's wrong with the Swedish team."

"Yes, because if this score continues, Sweden will only have 1 point in this World Cup, which will confirm their elimination from the knockout stage."

Time was ticking away, and the Swedish players and coaching staff were getting increasingly anxious.

At this moment, a small box popped up in the lower left corner of the CCTV live broadcast room.

Group F standings (if the score remains unchanged until the end)

1. Senegal, 9 points. (Advancement Zone)
2. China, 4 points. (Advancement Zone)
3. Germany, 3 points.

4. Sweden, 1 points.

Germany is currently trailing by one goal, while China and Sweden are tied.

"Viewers at home, you can see the notification in the lower left corner of the screen."

"If the two Group F matches were to finish together now, China would advance to the World Cup knockout stage with a one-point advantage over Germany."

The commentator was still quite cautious, adding a sentence after getting excited for a moment.

"Of course, the game isn't over yet..."

Yes, the Chinese team is now practically in the knockout stage, but not quite there yet.

The Vice Premier, unable to hide his excitement, applauded the Chinese national football team players who had equalized the score.

Standing to the side were the President of Senegal and the Chinese Ambassador to Russia; the three men's expressions were completely different.

"They seem to be arguing."

Tang Ye pointed to the Swedish player opposite him and whispered to his teammates.

Are you sure it's true or not?

Wu Lei was somewhat excited.

"Yeah, I just saw it. That number 8 must have yelled 'fuck'."

Based on Tang Ye's observation of Ekdal and Granqvist's expressions, the two must have had a falling out.

Of course, it's not just these two players.

The actual score differed greatly from the pre-match plan, causing a significant disappointment among the Swedish players.

"What did they say in Germany?"

Tang Ye suddenly asked if the players had considered going to the bench to ask Madaloni about the score of Germany, but Feng Xiaoting stopped them.

"Focus on the game, forget about Germany!"

"okok"

Tang Ye felt that what Feng Xiaoting said made a lot of sense.

The most important thing is to finish this game well.

Otherwise, if Sweden scores a last-minute winner, China still won't be able to advance to the knockout stage even if Germany loses.

69th minute!

boom!
Tang Ye fell to the ground, and the two teams clashed for the second time in the second half.

"You idiot!"

Wei Shihao hurled insults at Ekdal for the foul, while Zhang Yuning helped Tang Ye up from the ground.

It was thought that Tang Ye would give up, but unexpectedly, Tang Ye directly joined the battle between Wei Shihao and Ekdar.

"Dude, you really enjoy pushing people, don't you?"

"I'm seriously impressed by you, damn it!"

Tang Ye wanted to say a few more curses, but Feng Xiaoting quickly pulled him away.

"awesome!"

Madaloni praised the players on the field in somewhat broken Chinese, at which point the Chinese team made their second substitution.

Because the score is tied, forward Gao Lin has temporarily lost his chance to play.

Gao Zhunyi replaces Wang Shenchao!

"Gao Zhunyi is a rather special player; he can play both center-back and left/right full-back positions."

"His versatility is a major reason why he is highly valued by Lippi."

2：2的比分，除非瑞典能在剩下20分钟时间里再进4-5个球，不然他们是没机会晋级淘汰赛了。

It was very difficult, but the Swedish players were still trying their best.

By this point in the game, Tang Ye was already a bit tired, but he was still able to maintain excellent ball control.

Tang Ye was really glad that he had upgraded [Vardy Red Bull] to +7 before the World Cup started.

Endurance is a significant attribute in club matches.

Getting into the national team is extremely important!

This is because sometimes Tang Ye needs to take on the offensive duties of 2 to 3 people, and that's when Red Bull needs to step up!
China's free kick opportunity.

The location is good; let Tang Ye handle it...

approach!

Seizing the opportunity, Tang Ye delivered a free kick.

It went too high!
In an attempt to avoid the wall of players, Tang Ye's free kick went a little too high.

"I rely on..."

Tang Ye clutched his head in his hands, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

His direct free-kick technique is quite good, but free kicks themselves don't have a high success rate.

[Take it easy, take it easy. Germany is still behind. If we draw, we'll advance.]

[Brothers, it's the World Cup knockout stage, haha!]

[3 goals and 3 assists in 3 games, is this the power of Tang the King of Football?]

[Knockout Stage! It's all about taking on Brazil!]

Why are you guys celebrating...? Count me in!

76th minute!

Sweden launched an attack.

Toivonen broke into the penalty area on his own.

The penalty area is in complete chaos right now!
"what!"

A scream rang out as Toivonen collapsed to the ground.

!!!

Both teams' players tensed up simultaneously.

"Foul! Foul!"

Swedish players complained to the referee.

“Eh, this…”

"Feng Xiaoting shouldn't be making this move at this time."

"Zeng Cheng hasn't settled into his position yet; he's probably worried the Swedish striker will shoot directly into the far corner."

Slow-motion replay of the live stream.

Feng Xiaoting's outstretched thigh blocked Toivonen's knee, ultimately causing the Swedish striker to fall to the ground.

Considering the situation in the penalty area at the time, it was 100% a penalty.

"This……"

"This is bad."

Beep!
The whistle blew, and the referee pointed to 12 yards.

The second penalty of the match has been awarded!
