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

Chapter 47: The Dutch in the Brazilian Treasure Box

There are still two days before the next Eredivisie game against Twente, and the entire first team has returned to the serious atmosphere before the winning streak.

Tang Ye also kept brushing up his skills during training.

[De Bruyne's long-range shot, lv1: imitate]

Proficiency: 20/50
[Shots: 55 → 56]

Ten Hag arranged mostly passing training for Tang Ye, which resulted in Tang Ye's [Long Corner Shot] skill improving very slowly.

It's the same even with the help of broccoli.

On the contrary, Tang Ye did not fall behind in any skills related to passing.

[De Bruyne arc pass, level 3: simulation]

Proficiency: 38/200
The proficiency of through pass is about to reach 50. Tang Ye now wishes he could transfer the proficiency of through pass to the lob shot, so that he can get another level 2 skill!
"Beautiful, that's the kind of pass!"

Tang Ye's successful pass just now surprised Ten Hag on the sidelines. The Dutchman came over and applauded Tang Ye: "Excellent! This is what a genius should be like!"

"Ah, what did you say?"

"Oh, what I mean is, if you can control the speed of the pass a little better, you can be close to the level of a genius."

Ten Hag explained: "But you don't have to be discouraged, it's actually pretty good to have achieved this point."

"Okay, let's all gather together!"

Ten Hag asked Van der Gaag to bring the players together.

"The schedule is quite tight these days, so we won't arrange endurance training for now. This afternoon's endurance class will be changed to a strength class, and someone will be in charge of it then."

"What about the starting lineup?"

Ayub asked suddenly, and Ten Hah's originally relaxed facial expression suddenly stiffened.

"Well... I'll tell you tomorrow afternoon. The starting lineup hasn't been determined yet, so there's no need to rush."

These were the last words Ten Hag said to the players during the morning training session.

……

At noon in the cafeteria, Tang Ye opened his panel to check the tasks.

After getting the Portuguese superstar/legend treasure chest, Tang Ye also got his new task.

Unlike previous tasks of getting more assists and scoring more goals, Tang Ye’s next task is a milestone.

He started three times for Utrecht's first team and was rewarded with a special Brazilian treasure chest.

This task is not of a competition nature, so the reward is slightly lower. The so-called [Brazil Special Treasure Chest] is actually a blind box.

There is an 85% chance of opening a low-level treasure chest, a 3% chance of opening a mid-level treasure chest, and the combined probability of opening a high-level treasure chest, a superstar treasure chest, and a legendary treasure chest is 2%.

There is also a 10% chance of a "consolation prize".

After opening the Portuguese superstar/legend treasure chest, Tang Ye was well aware of the fact that he was unlucky.

This so-called [Brazilian Special Treasure Chest] is just a low-level treasure chest to him.

Of course, even if it is a low-level treasure chest, it is the signature skill of players worth millions or tens of millions of Euros, and it will definitely have an improving effect on Tang Ye.

It was because of this milestone task that Tang Ye wanted to have another private chat with Ten Hah.

But Tang Ye was not in a hurry. He thought about it carefully again.

Ten Hag said that he had not reached the level of the Eredivisie, but he still pestered Ten Hag every day to ask for starting.

Thinking about it from another perspective, this approach is indeed inappropriate.

Because of this, Tang Ye finally gave up the idea of ​​talking to Ten Hah and decided to sit back and observe.

……

After training the next afternoon, Van der Gaag took a notebook and read out the starting lineup for the next game to the first-team players.

Utrecht (4-3-1-2)

Goalkeeper: Ruiter
Defenders: Kleber, Rieuwe, Timo Lechter, Conboy
Midfielder (defensive midfielder): Strid, Ramselaar, Janssen

Midfielder (attacking midfielder): Tang Ye

Forwards: Hallai, Barazit

4312, this is a variation of 433, where the protruding center forward becomes the recessed attacking midfielder.

Utrecht has not used this formation in an official match this season, but everyone has been exposed to it during training, so the players are not shocked by it. What surprised everyone was Tang Ye on the starting list.

This is already Tang Ye’s third start in Utrecht’s first team!
I slid on my knees and knelt on three bars in the training ground yesterday morning, and the starting lineup for this afternoon is now revealed!
The players of the first team all knew that Ten Hag was quite concerned about his reputation, and Tang Ye's starting lineup after sliding on his knees was indeed top-notch.

Is there no punishment?

[You have obtained the Brazilian special treasure chest]

The teammates looked at Tang Ye, and Ale even put his hand on Tang Ye's shoulder.

Ten Hag glanced at the first-team players present, and kept his attention on Ayub for an extra moment: "Well, I know some of you will have objections to letting Don start..."

"No objection!"

Barazite and Vandermarel shouted at the same time.

"I didn't say you two had objections, why are you shouting?"

After being scolded, Barazit and van der Marel secretly hid behind the team and listened to Ten Hag continue speaking.

"Tang is indeed young, but you see, he is 16 years old. Next year he will be 17, and the year after that he will be 18. In a dozen years, he will be in his 30s... From this perspective, Tang is actually not young anymore."

?

"Of course, the main reason I let him start is because Tang scored in the previous two games. If a substitute player scores in the starting lineup, he will get a chance to start next time. This is a rule that many coaches take for granted. I think it is appropriate."

Ten Hag said a few simple words and paid special attention to Ayub's expression.

Ayub's face turned a little dark, but he didn't say anything.

……

After finishing training in the evening and returning to the dormitory, Tang Ye used the [Brazilian Special Treasure Box] he had just obtained in the afternoon.

In front of you is a very large red, white and blue turntable with the pointer pointing at the top. On the left and right sides are "Legend" and "Consolation Prize" respectively. However, the probability of winning a legend is only 0.01%, and there is only one line in the fan-shaped area on the turntable that belongs to the legendary treasure chest.

The turntable starts moving quickly, reaches maximum speed, and then slowly slows down.

Tang Ye's eyes were fixed on the turntable.

Although he knew that he was unlucky, it was completely impossible for Tang Ye to not expect to win the grand prize.

The pointer began to move little by little.

Intermediate treasure chest, advanced treasure chest...

Legendary treasure chest!

!

Tang Ye held his breath, because the pointer now just landed on the "Legendary Treasure Chest" area.

The area belonging to the legendary treasure chest is very small, almost as thick as a pointer.

"Don't move, don't move, don't move..."

Tang Ye prayed silently.

The Portuguese treasure chest didn’t give him a legendary item, so today’s Brazilian treasure chest should at least give him a legendary item, right?

0.01% probability!
click!
The turntable moved again, and the pointer fell to the edge of the "consolation prize".

"Grass!"

Tang Ye smashed his computer desk with his fist.

What a bullshit 0.01%!

Now it seems that this turntable is used for visual effects, and the system has no intention of giving him a legendary treasure chest at all.

But don't panic yet.

What is a consolation prize?

【You opened the Brazilian treasure chest (consolation prize)】

[You obtained a nude photo of Eric Ten Hag*1 (from Anthony)]

???

Looking at the photo that suddenly appeared in his hand, Tang Ye was startled and quickly stuffed the thing into the drawer.

What the hell is this!?
