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

Chapter 477 Opening Ceremony, GGBond Master's Asian Cup Debut
CCTV5 (Sports)
[2019 AFC Asian Cup Opening Ceremony]

"Dear viewers, you are now watching the opening ceremony of this Asian Cup. The person you just saw on camera was a young boy from the UAE named Mansour..."

The AFC flag was unfurled in the middle of the stadium, and the image showed Emiratis wearing white headscarves dancing.

After a song, volunteers came out holding the flags of the participating countries and formed a large circle near the AFC flag, which included the Chinese national flag.

The camera pans to the Chinese fans in the stands.

Under the call of fan organizations, Chinese fans dressed in a very uniform manner.

The left cheek has a red flag sticker, while the right cheek has a GG Bond cartoon sticker.

“现在是阿联酋当地时间1月5号的19点50分，北京时间的23点50分，再过10分钟，2019年亚洲杯的揭幕战就将打响（阿联酋VS巴林）”

The camera focused on the giant trophy in the center, its pure silver exterior reflecting a dazzling light.

【AFC】

【ASIAN】

【CUP】

"Hmm...it's so bright!"

Meanwhile, Tang Ye, who was watching the live stream, was very focused, seemingly trying to figure out what the beautiful trophy was made of.

Unfortunately, Tang Ye wasn't a trophy expert, so he couldn't figure it out.

"Rhodes, guess who will win... um..."

Tang Ye instinctively turned his head to the right, then suddenly remembered that his younger brother, Luo De, was not with him.

Hey.

Tang Ye shook his head. There was no other way but to take a look himself first.

UAE and Bahrain...

To be honest, Tang Ye doesn't know much about Asian national teams, so this opening match is a good opportunity to analyze their strength.

Ding!
My phone rang; it was a message from the WeChat group where the Chinese team players were chatting.

Everyone lives on the same floor, but it's too troublesome to communicate between different rooms using the local language; a mobile phone is necessary.

Let's go to the conference room to take a look.

Captain Feng Xiaoting's suggestion was accepted, and Tang Ye quickly jumped off the bed and pulled up his shorts.

"Brother Lei!"

After greeting Wu Lei, Tang Ye, carrying fresh milk, found a seat towards the back.

"Tang Ye, aren't you going to sit here?"

Zhang Yuning patted the chair next to him; it was a good spot he had specially reserved for Tang Ye.

"No, I'll sit in the back."

Tang Ye always sat in the last row when he was in school.

Many of the classmates are nearsighted, so Tom, who is not nearsighted, should make the sacrifice.

Tang Ye took a big gulp of ice-cold milk and leaned back in his chair.

The game started soon.

Lippi wasn't very strict, so the atmosphere in the meeting room was quite relaxed, and the players could chat while watching the game.

Why didn't you drink Coke?

Wu Lei's attention was focused on the fresh milk in Tang Ye's hand.

"Haha, my coach makes me drink it, a big bottle every day, and I'm used to it now."

Tang Ye shook the fresh milk in his hand; it was a full 1.25L, very high-quality milk.

Although milk is important to him, good things should be shared, so Tang Ye handed the milk to Wu Lei.

"Damn, you drink this much every day? Do you still drink Coke now?"

"Hmm... occasionally. Sometimes when I'm full from drinking milk, I don't feel like drinking anything else."

Tang Ye said, taking the milk that Wu Lei handed back, and Madaloni spoke at this moment.

"Pay attention to the UAE; its style is similar to Kyrgyzstan's."

Take note of the characteristics of the UAE...

Tang Ye tilted his head, repeating the coach's words in his mind.

The large TV screen in front of me is showing the first match of this Asian Cup, and the score is currently 0-0.

This match reminded Tang Ye of when he was still playing for Utrecht II four years ago.

Wonderful training time, with my good friend Xhaka.

Tang Ye's head slowly drooped down; he had fallen asleep.

……

Dongqiudi Match Report: The opening match saw the UAE and Bahrain draw 1-1, with Romahi scoring and Khalil converting a penalty. (6231 comments)

The UAE has no shame whatsoever!

Suddenly I feel like the Chinese national football team has a very good chance?

【No, I watched the opening match at midnight and this is all I saw?】

【referee! referee! 】

[Feel free to brag, just don't criticize our national football team later.]

……

The Times - Asian Cup Group Stage: China vs. Kyrgyzstan, Can Tom lead his team to victory in his Asian Cup debut?

England fans are experiencing very mixed feelings right now.

On the one hand, they really hoped that the Chinese team would be eliminated directly in the group stage, because that way Tang Ye could return to the team at least half a month earlier.

But on the other hand.

Tom is a really good guy, and fans would feel sorry for him if he didn't achieve good results in national team matches.

Woohoo!

How to do!
The time has come to September 1th.

Sheikh Khalifa International Stadium!

The Chinese team's bus has already arrived.

"Tang Ye!"

"Holy crap, Tang Ye!"

Go China!

The number of Chinese fans at the scene was somewhat unexpected; Tang Ye even saw quite a few Piggy Heroes.

Wearing a mascot costume in temperatures in the teens can actually be a bit hot.

"Don't wear this anymore."

After getting out of the car, Tang Ye found three Piggy Hero figures of different heights and tugged at his short-sleeved jersey, saying, "This weather is for wearing short sleeves."

"King Tang!"

The doll shouted at Tang Ye, then opened its belly and swallowed Tang Ye whole.

"My grass!"

"Hey!"

The security guards panicked and more than a dozen people rushed over to try to get out of the situation, but fortunately the doll quickly vomited Tang Ye out again.

"Holy crap, holy crap..."

Sitting on the ground, Tang Ye gasped for breath.

That's a bit too scary!

Go, Tang Ball King!

The three dolls took turns kissing Tang Ye on the head, and then started twisting and turning.

"Hula hooping is no problem either, three backflips~ and a salute~"

"..."

"Round head, round belly, inside lies the true meaning of life~~"

Let's sing a song with a loud, clear voice!

It is unclear whether the Chinese team players are ready.

But Chinese fans are absolutely ready.

Waiting for GGBond's performance!
Dongqiudi pinned post: The first round of the Asian Cup Group C match between China and Kyrgyzstan is about to begin.

Live Match Report: Before the match even started, Tang Ye was fouled by Piggy Hero outside the field and fell to the ground, but the referee did not award a penalty.

It has to be said that Tang Ye is a true midfield maestro; he was fouled before the game even started!
Fans rushed into the camera's view.

"China is awesome!!!!"

……

"They are amazing."

Tang Ye walked down the tunnel, his destination the home team's locker room.

If GGBond were to wear a mascot costume in 20-degree weather, he definitely wouldn't be able to stand it!
No one around him spoke, so Tang Ye looked left and right.

He found Zhang Yuning right next to him, but his Yuning brother wasn't in a good state.

"what happened?"

Tang Ye placed his hand on Zhang Yuning's shoulder, and the latter gently shook his head: "It's nothing, it's nothing."

"Hmm, are you too nervous? I'm nervous too."

Tang Ye said, while Zhang Yuning looked Tang Ye up and down: "You're nervous too? Really?"

"real"

Tang Ye rubbed his wrist: "It's okay, Brother Yu Ning, it's all the same. We don't just win against Kazakhstan easily."

"Um"

Zhang Yuning nodded: "I think you're right, but..."

"It seems like we're playing against Kyrgyzstan today."

"..."

Tang Ye shook his hand.

I didn't expect there to be so many Stans, which is a bit disheartening.

But it's all the same, as long as we win them all.

Tang Ye took out the chewing gum from his pocket and gave it to Zhang Yuning and Zhang Linpeng.

With one hour to go before the match, both teams began warming up.

Rhythmic English pop songs were playing in the stadium. Tang Ye rubbed his hands together and walked out of the tunnel.

Wow!!!

"Tang Ye!"

"Tang Ye!"

Khalifa Stadium has a seating capacity of about 1, of which Chinese fans make up nearly 3000.

Although they can't compare to the neutral fans, their numbers completely overwhelm those of the away team's fans.

There are probably only a few hundred Kyrgyz fans present today!

“China!”

“China!”

The large screen at the scene moved slowly in sync with Tang Ye as he jogged to warm up.

One minute of filming wasn't enough; the photographer kept focusing the lens until the fans at the scene could clearly see the pores on Tang Ye's body before stopping.

Yes, my GGBond has become even more handsome!

boom!
Tang Ye bounced the ball up from the ground, juggling it to get a feel for it.

First, he juggled the ball normally, and then he started juggling it high.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

"..."

Every time Tang Ye hit the ball high, the fans in the stands would shout.

"Forehead……"

Tang Ye looked towards the stands, somewhat bewildered by the fans' excited emotions, so he simply started playing around.

Juggle the ball a little while asking the coach to pass it to you, then juggle it with both feet together after using your left foot to lift the ball.

[Director, could you please stop filming Tang Ye? I don't even know which players are on the field yet...]

[What's there to see in other shows? You have to watch GGBond!]

[We suggest watching a first-person perspective video of Tang Ye on CCTV5+.]

【? ? ? ? ? 】

No, are you saying both balls are being bounced together?

[A Douyin user commented: "They're showing the Chinese national football team a sci-fi movie again. Then the next second, I see the national flag on Tang Ye's jersey."] *Snap!*
clap clap!

He first shot the ball high with his left foot, then unleashed a powerful shot with his right foot towards the goal.

Yan Junling saved the ball, but Tang Ye still has one more ball!

Left foot!

boom!
The ball went in!
"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye smiled happily.

Wow, it would be great if a football match could use two balls at the same time.

In that case, Piggy Hero King would be invincible!

"Now, please allow me to introduce... (Now, please allow me to introduce the starting lineups for both sides in this match)"

"No.1 Yan Junling!"

“No. 2…”

……

"Let's proceed according to plan."

"Raise the pace little by little, and I mean little by little, is that alright?"

Lippi's gaze fell on Tang Ye.

China is definitely stronger than Kyrgyzstan. For Tang Ye, the opposing players are not even as good as the reserve team of an English Premier League club.

But this is the first group stage match, and Lippi wants the team to play more steadily before the situation is clear.

"no problem"

Tang Ye answered quickly.

He's always been the kind of player who's very consistent!

Boom!

He pounded on the wardrobe, and the atmosphere in the locker room reached its climax just moments before the game started.

Everything is ready!
……

"China Media Group, China Media Group. Good evening, viewers. This is a live broadcast of the 2019 AFC Asian Cup group stage matches in the UAE..."

"The players wearing red jerseys on the left side of the players' tunnel are the starting players for the Chinese team in this match."

……

"Ta-da! Ta ...

"Ta-da! Ta-da!"

"..."

"come on! Come on!"

The players took their positions, and Tang Ye and Zhang Yuning stood together in the center circle to prepare for the kickoff.

My teammates are in front of me, but I also have to look back at my opponents.

First, remember the initial positions of both sides, as this will greatly help in understanding the game.

"5!"

"4!"

……

"1!"

"Beep!!!"

China Media Group...

"The match has begun, and now I will introduce the starting lineups for both teams!"

China (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper: Yan Junling
Defenders: Wang Shenchao, Feng Xiaoting, Shi Ke, Zhang Linpeng
Midfielders: Zhang Xizhe, Tang Ye, Zheng Zhi

Forwards: Yu Hanchao, Zhang Yuning, Wu Lei

Head Coach: Lippi
"The total value of China's starting lineup is €1.7865 million, while the value of Kyrgyzstan's starting lineup is slightly lower, um, €145 million."

The CCTV commentator looked slightly awkward.

The difference in the starting lineup value between the two teams seems to be too large.

Many fans on Douyin and Weibo think that the Chinese national football team is bad and the players are incompetent, but this is wrong.

The starting eleven for the Chinese team in this Asian Cup has a combined value approaching 180 million euros.

The second-placed South Korean team has a total squad value of only 8473 million euros, a difference that is more than just double.

But...

Hehe, more than double!

"Come!"

Tang Ye received the ball on the left flank.

This was his first touch of the ball in the game.

Don't rush, first control the ball at your feet, and then press forward with your teammates.

Tang Ye learned a lesson from his experience in training matches and the World Cup: it's best not to set the pace too fast at the beginning of a match.

It's certainly a good thing that the opponent can't keep up.

But if your teammates can't keep up, that's not a good thing.

Snapped!
Tang Ye made a through pass to Yu Hanchao and started moving towards the middle.

Just as Han Chao was about to go down to the bottom, Tang Ye brought Zhang Xizhe to the vicinity.

Get the inverted triangle!
Pull the ball with your left foot to turn, then pass it to your right foot.

Directly switch to an inside cut!
Although his speed wasn't particularly fast, Tang Ye certainly exuded a strong sense of pressure on the court, causing defenders to fall down unprepared.

Have the opportunity!
Speed ​​up the incision!
The defenders were sticking close to Tang Ye, determined not to let him into the penalty area.

"Your mother!"

A bit annoying, Tang Ye bumped into Islaylov with his shoulder, and the latter fell down on the spot.

"Beep!"

"China's offensive foul"

"Hey, it seems Tang Ye isn't too happy with the referee's decision..."

Upon hearing the whistle, Tang Ye immediately turned around and questioned the referee.

"Was that a foul? I didn't even bump into him hard, and I already had a positional advantage!"

Tang Ye was in a bad mood because he was penalized for a light bump.

"Please be careful, okay?"

Unfortunately, the referee showed no intention of changing his decision.

Impressed!

"It's alright, it's alright, just go slowly!"

Madaloni came to the sidelines of the field and shouted.

The Chinese assistant coach still vividly remembers the World Cup match against Germany.

He was really afraid that Tang Ye would start cursing again if he was pushed to the limit...

"Take it easy! Gradually increase the pace!"

After adjusting their strategy, the Chinese team players began to retreat.

As the first half progressed to the 10th minute, China's possession rate had unknowingly risen to 70%, seemingly indicating their intention to completely control the game.

Madaloni is smiling now.

Because the current situation of the match is exactly the same as the pre-match plan!
but!

Kyrgyzstan will not be attacked for nothing.

"I come!"

Zheng Zhi moved to the sideline, but unexpectedly, he was groined by an opponent's cross-legged shot.

"Wow!!"

"A very beautiful nutmeg dribble! From Kyrgyz midfielder Bernhardt!"

"Bernhardt gets the ball and walks forward on his own!"

"Hey, this spot is a bit dangerous!"

After nutmegging Zhang Linpeng, Bernhardt successfully approached the baseline, but instead of engaging Zhang Linpeng one-on-one, he slowed down.

Tang Ye witnessed all of this and made his own decision.

"Go in! Go in!"

Zhang Xizhe was instructed to retreat into the penalty area, while Tang Ye proactively sought out the opposing attacking midfielder.

Kyrgyzstan's attack looks impressive, but in reality, only that one nutmeg is truly impressive.

Their subsequent attack was very poor, with Zheng Zhi intercepting Bernhardt's cutback cross.

Hey!

Raise your right hand to call for the ball, and at the same time accelerate forward.

Zheng Zhi sends a through ball to Tang Ye!

I grass!

The lead time given for the ball was a bit excessive, so Tang Ye could only accelerate as much as possible to catch up.

Hold onto the ball!

As the defenders approached, Tang Ye stopped abruptly by stepping on the ball.

Then accelerate!
The Kyrgyz player tried to stop Tang Ye by fouling him, but the guy jumped up instead.

The defender's outstretched foot didn't even touch Tang Ye!

"Tang Ye!"

"Oops, I dodged it!"

"do it yourself!"

"Wow, that's really fast!"

The speed is fast, but that's only relative.

This wasn't his strong suit, so Tang Ye quickly passed the ball to Wu Lei on the right.

Then press down with your right hand.

This means that Wu Lei should slow down.

Let's have another crossover run with Yu Hanchao!
Halfway through the run, Tang Ye suddenly changed direction and rushed into the restricted area.

"Oh!!!!"

The defender reached out and grabbed Tang Ye's shoulder.

The body directly withstood it!

Snapped!
Wu Lei passed the ball over!
Tang Ye got the ball, but the defender's close marking prevented him from turning around.

Find teammates to coordinate with!

clap clap!

Tang Ye, who turned and made a forward run, received a through pass from Wang Shenchao and immediately followed up with a shot.

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"Tang Ye!"

"A goal from Tang Ye in the 14th minute!"

"1-0! China takes the lead!"

It looked like a simple attack, but the Chinese national team players performed exceptionally well in all aspects, so the threat was still quite significant.

Tang Ye and Zhang Yuning ran together toward the corner flagpole.

"Roar!!!"

"Tang Ye!"

"King of Football!"

"Tang Ye is awesome!!!"

With his arms outstretched, Tang Ye felt the cheers of the fans in the stands.

This is his first Asian Cup goal in his professional career!

You have gained 20 comeback points.

Dongqiudi Live Match Report: Wang Shenchao's through ball, Tang Ye's header, the first goal of this Asian Cup for the Chinese national team.

PS: There will be one more update tonight.

Asking for a monthly ticket!
