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

Chapter 62 Utrecht’s Set-piece Tactics (Please read on!)
Because of this vacation, Tang Ye missed the 14th round match between Utrecht and Almelo Hercules.

This was Utrecht's third loss this season, and the score of 1:2 made both the players and coach a little annoyed.

However, Ten Hag did not blame the players for the loss, because the referee of that game was very, very unfair.

If the 2 penalties were not called, Utrecht would have won the game 3:2!
The sudden loss made the atmosphere within the Utrecht team depressing.

Because Tang Ye did not play on the field, he could not feel the anger when encountering a black whistle on the field, so his emotions were not affected much.

But Tang Ye was not very happy either, because his teammates, Amrabat, Ale, and Ramsselaar, had not smiled in the days after the game.

There was no smile on the faces of his teammates, so Tang Ye couldn't find anyone to play with during training!
"It's okay, we can just win the next game."

Tang Ye sent a message to Amrabat via WhatsApp, just as the Moroccan rejected Tang Ye's invitation to play FIFA games.

"Damn it, you don't know how stupid that referee is. We should have won the game the day before yesterday."

Amrabat sent a voice message, and Tang Ye didn't know what to say, so he could only play first.

It is true that they are angry, but as professional players, they are able to adjust their mentality. These guys from Utrecht's first-team felt much better after they cursed at the referee and fans online.

"Give it to me!"

Tang Ye quickly ran to the left baseline, and Van der Marel seized the opportunity and passed a high ball.

"Ok, watch me!"

Tang Ye shouted and used a fake move to deceive Kleber.

Chest stop!

then……

Volley!

Snapped!
Tang Ye kicked the ball out of the base, and the ball flew outside the base and hit a fox lying on the grass.

"Ha ha!"

"Don, what is this?"

Tang Ye's super world wave directly shocked the whole audience. Ramselaar laughed holding his belly: "I feel like you are playing like a king of football"

"Hey, don't laugh, it was almost there!"

Tang Ye pointed at the direction the ball flew out and said, "If I had kept my feet flatter just now, it would have worked and Ruyt wouldn't have been able to catch it!"

"You can wait for the ball to bounce on the ground before hitting it."

Ten Hag shouted onto the field.

Not to mention, Tang Ye's volley shot was quite imaginative.

It’s just that his physical strength is too weak to support him in fulfilling his imagination!
"No, we can't wait for the ball to hit the ground."

Tang Ye shouted back: "The defender will come up as soon as I land, I have to pass the ball quickly!"

Tang Ye pointed at Kleber beside him. If he waited for the ball to fall to the ground, Kleber would never give him a chance to shoot.

This ball can only be volleyed!

"But it's no use smoking like this."

Ten Hag came over and said: "A goal 10 times higher than yours can't catch the ball. You are masturbating. Do you like masturbating?"

"Don't worry, I'm practicing."

Tang Ye repeated the same action he had just performed when he knocked on the door.

such a pity!
If I had lowered my foot a little bit, the ball would definitely have gone in!

“Ok, I’m already scared.”

Goalkeeper Ruit crossed his arms and trembled.

"Alright, alright, the competition is over for now, we need to practice set pieces."

Ten Hag and Van der Gag walked into the field together, and the players slowly surrounded them.

Utrecht's set-piece tactics are very simple, it is nothing more than Ramsellar or Kleber passing the ball from behind.

But now it turns out that Tang Ye has a hidden skill in free kicks!

Excellent head coaches will develop special tactics based on the characteristics of the players, not to mention the monthly best coach like Ten Hag! "We will practice set-pieces later, but this time we will not divide the cards. Everyone will participate together, including midfielders, forwards, and defenders. We are practicing skills and tactics, not the technique of playing set-pieces."

Ten Hag said the watering work on pitch 2 has been completed and can begin at any time.

Under Ten Hag's arrangement, set-piece training began in the last training session of the morning.

It is still divided into two teams, A and B. Team A is the starting lineup including Haller, Barazit, Tang Ye, Ramsselaar and others.

Team B consists of Amrabat, Ayub, Josten and others, and of course some players from the second team who were transferred to assist in training.

Tang Ye looked around, trying to find Xhaka, but unfortunately Xhaka didn't come.

"You two come out"

Ten Hag took Tang Ye's hand and called Tang Ye and Ramserall out of the team.

In the new set-piece tactics, set-pieces need to be given to Tang Ye or Ramsellar, which is why Ten Hag called out these two people.

In the penalty area, Ten Hag adopted a tactic he preferred.

Haller, Barazite, and Van der Marel stood in a diagonal line. Before the corner kick was taken, these three header masters of Utrecht would use secret signals to determine the direction in which they would run.

After arranging things in the penalty area, Ten Hag walked to the set-piece spot and explained to Tang Ye and Ramsellar.

Of course, these words were mainly spoken to Tang Ye.

"You don't have to worry about how they run. You stand at the back and have the best vision. You need to observe and pass the ball to where you want. The rest depends on those in the penalty area."

"Do you understand? Tang, you go first."

In front of Ten Hag, he had his hands folded in front of his chest with a serious expression.

He really wanted to see Tang Ye's free kick with strange speed changes again.

Tang Ye put the ball on the ground, slowly backed away, and found a position he thought was suitable.

Carefully observe the situation in the restricted area, raise your right hand, and then...

Turning to look at Ten Hag: "Um... who am I on the same team with?"

"..."

Ten Hahe held his head and said, "Colorless Team, you are from the Colorless Team. The one wearing the fluorescent vest is your opponent. Do you understand? Asshole, damn it, I'm already getting nervous and you're telling me this?"

"Sorry sorry"

Tang Ye turned his head back.

After confirming that he was the colorless team, Tang Ye needed to find a way to get the ball to a certain place.

A place that the non-color team players can easily reach, but the colored team players have a hard time reaching.

Ok……

Got it!

Snapped!
The ball was swung out at a very fast speed, with an arc that was diagonally upward, very similar to the previous goal against Nijmegen.

This ball also has topspin!
It flew over the heads of both players and started to descend!
"Nasser!"

Ten Hag shouted loudly, and Barazit, whose name was called, did not disappoint Ten Hag's expectations. He leaned forward with his upper body and smashed the ball in front of him to the ground with his head.

Snapped!
It bounced once and then fell into the net.

"Clap clap clap!"

Ten Hag applauded: "There are still some areas for improvement, but that's about it"

Set-piece tactics are difficult to design and execute.

But Ten Hag is, after all, one of the head coaches with a relatively high level.

He only needs to emphasize a few words and Utrecht's set-piece attack problem can be almost solved!
As for Tang Ye.

Ten Hag put his hand on Tang Ye's shoulder: "Lazy pig, it's okay to be lazy, but as long as you keep up with my pace, you will be successful"
