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

Chapter 501 Tang Ye tipped the referee $500.
Top post on Dongqiudi: China vs. Qatar, the Asian Cup showdown is underway, with the men's national football team aiming for their first-ever Asian Cup title.

"Huh, huhu..."

The series of sudden stops and changes of direction have left Tang Ye a bit tired, and he needs to rest for a while.

But before Tang Ye could recover, Qatar's forwards suddenly pushed forward and snatched the ball away from the Chinese team.

Depend on!
Retreat and defend immediately!

The left winger goes down the flank to find the full-back who is cutting inside.

The full-back then passes the ball to the right wing.

Qatar kept moving the ball back and forth on the field, aiming to avoid Tang Ye, who was waiting in the middle.

He ran to the right and then to the left, but after all that, Tang Ye didn't get a single chance to touch the ball.

"Inside, inside!"

Signaling to teammates to be aware of the penalty area.

Tang Ye ultimately chose to stay in his position to prevent the opponent from attempting long-range shots from the edge of the penalty area.

Snapped!
Alibaba has provided the details!
China's penalty area!

boom!
The Qatari striker sent in a header, but it was pushed away by Wang Dalei.

"Wang Dalei is handsome!"

"Wang Dalei was substituted after Yan Junling's eye injury, and we can see that Wang Dalei's performance in the last two games has been quite good!"

In situations where the opponent shoots frequently, the goalkeeper's form is extremely important.

"Watch closely!"

"You guys follow that number 9 down the line!"

Wang Dalei shouted loudly to his teammates on the defensive line.

"Just stick it on!"

Captain Zheng Zhi encouraged the players: "It's been 30 minutes already, and there are only 15 minutes left in the first half!"

Hold on! Hold on!

【Come on! 】

On the homepage of Dongqiudi, there are constantly scrolling bullet comments that move from right to left in the posters, and basically one out of every two bullet comments contains the keyword "defend".

Qatar has been dominating the Chinese team, putting immense pressure on both the players and fans.

Dongqiudi live match report: In the 35th minute of the match, Tang Ye made a strong breakthrough on the wing and sent in a cross, but Zhang Yuning failed to get to the ball first.

As the first half drew to a close, the game gradually entered a heated phase.

boom!
Tang Ye fell to the ground to steal the ball from the player in charge, and then passed the ball to Wu Xi in front.

As a result, the opposing midfielder suddenly rushed up and stole the ball back from Wu Xi's feet.

The scene seems a bit too chaotic...

The Chinese players retreated quickly, while Qatar opted for long passes and fast counter-attacks.

boom!
We've reached the baseline!

Inverted triangle!
Ali receives the ball at the top of the penalty area, fakes a shot to adjust his position, and then suddenly sends a through ball into the box.

Afif gets the ball!
"Oh!"

Suddenly feeling the pressure, Zhang Linpeng quickly stepped back and stood in front of Afif.

The bicycle kick continued to compress the Chinese team's defense, and Afif suddenly passed the ball across to Ali.

Alli accelerates to get the ball!
Ali tried to squeeze between Zhang Linpeng and Shi Ke, but lost his balance and fell after touching Shi Ke.

?

Shi Ke looked completely bewildered and jumped up, raising his hands.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Is it a penalty kick?

"Ali has fallen in the Chinese team's penalty area!"

The commentators and fans were already a little out of breath, and the players on the field quickly came to the referee.

"Diving! Yellow card!"

Zheng Zhi pointed at Ali and shouted at the referee, but was immediately pushed away by a Qatari player.

"Beep!"

The referee blew his whistle and then drew a square in front of him.

It depends on the var!
call……

With his hands on his hips, Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

During the fight just now, Shi Ke clearly didn't exert his full strength. If he had applied for a VAR, there wouldn't have been any problems.

The referee came to the sidelines to review the video, while the players stood on the field waiting.

At the same time, the broadcast showed video footage, so what the fans watching on TV saw was the same as what the referee saw.

Ali received Afif's cross and suddenly accelerated into the penalty area...

As you can see in the video, Shi Ke moved closer to Ali, his aim being to block the opponent's first shot.

Shi Ke put his hand on Ali's shoulder.

Ali continued forward, the two of them leaning against each other.

Shi Ke exerted force with his arm, and Ali subsequently fell to the ground.

Ok……

"Based on the replay, it doesn't look like a penalty for Shi Ke."

"Yes, although Shi Ke made some movements, he clearly didn't use any force."

The ruling on this call is quite controversial.

Let's see what the referee says.
"Beep!"

Back on the field, they drew another square, and the referee then pointed to the Chinese team's penalty area.

"Penalty!"

"It's a penalty!"

Wow!!!

The stands suddenly erupted into chaos, and the Chinese team players immediately ran toward the referee.

"No, he didn't use any force! Our player didn't use any force; he fell on his own!"

"Hey, don't do anything reckless!"

The score was perfectly fine at 0-0, but then they conceded a penalty, which is something the Chinese players absolutely cannot accept.

The referee chased away the Chinese players who were surrounding him. Tang Ye, while backing away, gave the referee a thumbs-up and said, "Awesome, awesome, you're awesome!"

Pooh!
Wang Dalei took a sip of water, spat it all out, and then returned to his position under the goal.

Qatar's penalty kick was won by Ali, who took the penalty himself!
"Beep beep beep!!"

"Fuck you!"

Chinese fans are still criticizing.

The field is ready.

"Beep!!!"

As Alibaba began its run-up, Wang Dalei, who had been hopping and skipping, suddenly stopped moving.

boom!
Ali kicked the ball towards the left side of the goal, followed by a loud "thud".

"They've pounced!"

"Wang Dalei made the save!!!"

Chaos erupted in the penalty area. Afif tried to shoot again, but Liu Yiming cleared the ball from his side.

It's still a Qatari player with the ball!
boom!
The shot was delivered, but it hit Zhang Linpeng.

"I come!"

Zhang Linpeng kicked the ball directly into the attacking third.

Wow!!!

"xuuuu!!!"

"Garbage! Garbage!"

Qatari players were mocked after failing to capitalize on a penalty opportunity.

[Wang Dalei? Casillas!!!]

【Awesome! 】

[Heizi speaks! 】

Such a great opportunity deserves a big celebration!
The Justice China team, led by Justice GGBond, is the most powerful.

Evil does not suppress righteousness!

As Tang Ye ran forward to prepare for the attack, he also gave Wang Dalei a thumbs-up in the penalty area.

Unlike the thumbs-up he gave the referee earlier, Tang Ye's thumbs-up was purely a sign of "awesome," without any ulterior motives.

"Beep!"

In the 42nd minute of the match, Qatar was awarded an indirect free kick on the left flank.

An interesting thing happened: when the referee came to the sideline with foam spray, several Chinese fans at the bottom of the side stands leaned out, clutching handfuls of US dollars.

"give you!"

"Referee, look here!"

"Here's the money!"

"Knife music! Knife music! (US dollars)"

Haha!

Tang Ye was having a tough time playing, but the fans in the stands made him laugh.

Feel your pockets.

It's a pity that the wealthy GGBond didn't have any cash on him today, otherwise he would have done the same thing!

... Dongqiudi Halftime Report: China and Qatar are tied 0-0 at halftime. Ali's controversial penalty was saved by Wang Dalei, and Tang Ye was repeatedly fouled.

There was no official data, but fans counted it themselves.

In the first half, during the 45 minutes of regular time plus 2 minutes of added time, Tang Ye was fouled a total of 11 times, falling to the ground 6 times.

Despite committing so many fouls, the Chinese team only managed to win two direct free kicks and three indirect free kicks.

"This referee is terrible!"

Tang Ye and his teammates walked towards the locker room: "They can award those kinds of penalties? Then why wasn't mine awarded?"

boom!
Wu Lei kicked over a trash can: "Pure idiot!"

"OK OK!"

Madaloni pushed Tang Ye and Wu Lei quickly towards the locker room: "Calm down, calm down, we have more important things to do."

……

The Guardian – Dissatisfied with the referee's decisions? Rodri posted a photo of himself watching the Asian Cup final at home with the caption: WTF, penalty?
It's not just Rodri; a careful search of famous players' Twitter accounts will reveal a phenomenon.

Many European players are watching the game, and some players from Manchester United and Villarreal have even started hurling insults at each other.

This included Villarreal captain Bruno, who criticized the Iranian referee on Instagram, only to delete the post five minutes later.

"Plop, plop!"

Tang Ye's heart was pounding in the players' tunnel.

Even with his strong heart, he's starting to feel the pressure.

What if his heart suddenly jumps out of his chest, given how fast it's beating?
Tang Ye was somewhat worried.

but!

Clench your hands tightly into fists.

do not care!
If you want to jump out, then jump out. You can always just throw away your heart.

GGBond must win this match!

Beep!
The referee's whistle blew from ahead, and Tang Ye and his teammate next to him high-fived each other.

"come on--!!!"

He roared and then walked out of the passage.

……

The second half has begun!
Currently, both teams' benches are filled with people.

Qatar changed their attacking midfielder, but Lippi still didn't make any changes.

"Come!"

Turning around and receiving the ball, Tang Ye passed it directly to Zhang Yuning in front of him, and then accelerated forward.

China's attack!

Just like in the first half, this counter-attack by the Chinese team was also a high-flying formation.

Zhang Yuning and Wu Lei, the two reconnaissance pilots, were in front, while Tang Ye was in the middle behind them.

Zhang Yuning ran forward and, after being pressed, decisively passed the ball to Wu Lei.

Wu Lei also encountered a defensive presence.

Slow down and stop immediately!
And then!
Snapped!
The ball was passed back to Tang Ye, who then played a through ball to Wu Lei.

Three Chinese players from European leagues coordinated their attacks and advanced dozens of meters in just a few seconds.

Successfully reached the frontcourt!

Zhang Yuning stopped in place after receiving the ball.

At that moment, Tang Ye suddenly rushed up from his right side!
boom!
The pass was delivered a bit too far back.

With a step on the ball and a turn similar to the Marseille turn, Tang Ye easily got rid of the defender.

We have arrived at the top of the arc.

He was almost in the penalty area when Tang Ye pushed the ball sideways with the instep of his foot and then accelerated.

We've entered the restricted area!

Wow!!!

Another solo performance; let's see what's going on.

With a simple movement, Tang Ye approached the defender.

Tang Ye now faces only two players: a center-back providing cover and a goalkeeper.

Snapped!
The shot bounced off the defender's feet.

"coming!"

Wu Lei immediately knelt down on the spot and headed the ball back to Tang Ye.

Despite interference from others, Tang Ye still managed to secure the first point.

Use your stomach to unload the ball, preparing to let it fall naturally to your feet.

Suddenly, a strange force came from beside him, and the next second Tang Ye fell down.

"Oh!!"

“Beep beep beep!!!”

"This is the second time Tang Ye has gone down in the penalty area this match!"

"Referee, is there any explanation for this play?"

The commentator shouted, and the Chinese team players were also demanding an explanation from the referee.

However, the referee indicated that the action was to bring the hands together and then open them.

Goodness, this time he didn't even bother to check VAR, directly indicating that Qatar hadn't committed a foul.

"call……"

Tang Ye sat alone in the restricted area, raised his hands, and then lowered them again.

There was no way to get up and return to defense.

We're invincible, brothers!

Could you be any darker?

Why not just award the prize to Qatar?

The Chinese team played really well in this match; both their team tactics and the players' form were the best they've shown since the start of the Asian Cup.

Despite such excellent form, they were still unable to score against Qatar.

Is it because the Chinese team can't advance?
It's the referee who won't let the Chinese team in!
grandma's.

It's one thing to treat GGBond like a football, but what's the point of not giving GGBond a penalty kick?
"shit!"

Madaloni spat his throat lozenge onto the grass, preparing to become the fourth official, but Lippi stopped him: "There's no going back on this goal."

Lippi's point was that no matter what, the Chinese team couldn't win back that penalty, and Madaloni didn't need to get that yellow card.

"Damn it!"

Shaking his hands, Madaloni is feeling extremely uncomfortable right now.

"Don't worry, don't worry..."

Lippi said softly, his pupils appearing deep behind his glasses: "Their play is getting increasingly chaotic."

"Hao, get ready, Gao Lin too!"

Dongqiudi live match report: In the 65th minute of the match, Tang Ye was fouled on the wing, and Afif was shown a yellow card.

This is Qatar's third yellow card in this match.

It wasn't just three yellow cards, but a surprising three!

It's hard to imagine that Qatar only received three yellow cards in a game of this intensity!
It's the 68st minute.

Qatar launches an attack down the flank, with Afif dribbling the ball forward at high speed.

After looking around and confirming the positions of the players on the field, Tang Ye chose to move closer to Afif.

"Come on, come on!"

Bring Zheng Zhi up!
Tang Ye and Zheng Zhi combined well, and Zheng Zhi successfully intercepted Afif.

perfect!

Tang Ye decisively moved forward.

boom!
Zheng Zhi played a through ball to Tang Ye in front of him.

Get the ball!

Tang Ye was about to begin his advance when a Qatari defender suddenly came up and used his shoulder to knock him out of bounds.

Tang Ye rolled half a circle on the ground, then punched the grass next to him.

"Grass!!!"

Beep!
The referee blew his whistle and awarded possession to Qatar.

"A yellow card!"

Zheng Zhi gestured to the referee: "Our players have an absolute positional advantage!"

Zheng Zhi pointed at Tang Ye on the ground: "This is still a chance to counterattack."

That makes a lot of sense, but the referee still wouldn't listen.

"..."

Tang Ye got up from the ground and came down to the stands under the camera's gaze.

At that moment, Chinese fans were waving US dollars at the referee. Tang Ye ran over and pointed to the five dollars in the fan's hand: "I'll buy these five dollars from you, but I can only give you the money after the game is over."

The fans were completely bewildered as Tang Ye took the money from their hands.

Clutching the money in his hand, Tang Ye quickly returned to the court.

Just when everyone was wondering what Tang Ye was up to, he ran up to the referee and stuffed the $5 in his hand into the referee's pocket.

wow?
