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

Chapter 666 I've come to HEB Province!

Match Preview: Champions League Round of 16 Second Leg - Dortmund travels to the Parc des Princes. Can the Bundesliga dark horse advance to the Champions League quarterfinals?
We must advance!

[Guys, I'm not saying anything else, I'm betting 100 bucks on Paris to win, but I'm backing Dortmund!]

Bellingham and Sancho always underperform against strong teams, didn't you guys notice? In the first leg, only GGBond and Haaland were normal.

This season's Champions League is too difficult; even Manchester United is struggling.

Manchester United fans are saying, "Let's not talk about Manchester United anymore, Rashford is practically asleep on the pitch!"

boom!
The plane landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport, and the Dortmund players disembarked with their backpacks, flanked by European football reporters who were already waiting.

Being greeted by the media at the airport is a privilege usually reserved for the European Championship and the World Cup.

It's clear that today's match received a lot of attention.

It's incredibly shameful that Paris Saint-Germain, a team so strong last season, only reached the Champions League semi-finals.

This season we must wash away all the shame!

Click, click, click!

Tang Ye gave a thumbs-up to the camera.

The reporter wanted Tang Ye to say something, but quickly noticed Eskeriva, who had a serious expression, standing behind him.

The Dortmund manager seems to have something on his mind.
"Ferland, are you under a lot of pressure right now? What are your thoughts on tomorrow's match?"

"If you lose to Paris tomorrow, Dortmund will be eliminated in the Champions League Round of 16 this season!"

The reporters bombarded Escriva with a barrage of questions, but unfortunately, their enthusiasm went unanswered by the Spaniard.

"Borussia Dortmund!"

"stupid guy!"

"Borussia Dortmund!"

"stupid guy!"

As the bus traveled to the hotel, Paris fans on both sides of the street kept hurling insults.

"xuuu!!!"

French fans are really ruthless; if it weren't for the special police clearing the way, some of them might have just rushed into the middle of the road to stop the car.

Tang Ye slightly pulled back the curtains and saw the signs held up by fans on the street.

[What world's number one? Never heard of it!]

"..."

With a sigh, Tang Ye closed the curtains, put on a pair of noise-canceling headphones, and decided to ignore the fans outside.

……

So Foot – Dortmund players arriving in Paris were subjected to verbal abuse from Paris fans.

"Paris fans have a lot of confidence in their team, which is certainly related to Dortmund's poor performance in the Champions League knockout stages," the reporter said.

RMC Radio: Dortmund should complete their loan of TY half a month earlier and find other league teams to play training matches with after the Champions League group stage. This is the right way to start the Champions League knockout stage.

It's a familiar feeling; the football media are starting to offer hindsight advice again.

It's too late to say anything now.

With this starting lineup and in this form, Dortmund needs to play like this to defeat the powerful French champions on their way to Paris!
Night, hotel.

Tomorrow night is a do-or-die match. Escribá and Martí gathered the players in the conference room on the 11th floor to give a final reminder about what's coming up.

"Remember to close all the windows before going to bed. The floors we arranged are all on relatively high floors, and the sound insulation is also quite good. Generally speaking, you won't be affected by the sound of firecrackers."

It's not that Dortmund doesn't trust Paris fans, it's just that these kinds of early morning sabotages in the Champions League are all too common among teams in the top five European leagues.

You never know what time the opposing fans will be active, or how powerful their firecrackers will be.

Then came the prediction and preparation of Paris tactics.

"Mbappe still needs to be extra careful; he must maintain distance when defending. Kylian is in great form this season. And Zud and Jaden, you guys need to pay attention; the tactics must be executed perfectly, absolutely perfectly!"

Escriva, Bellingham, and Sancho both gave it extra emphasis.

Because it was these two guys who committed the crime in the first round of the match.

Too young, and too arrogant.

Always thinking about showing off will definitely put you at a disadvantage when facing top teams.

"I'll pay attention."

Sancho nodded, and at this moment Tang Ye, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up: "No, it's not a matter of whether we pay attention or not."

After being told off by Tang Ye, Sang Qiao quickly turned his gaze over, because he really didn't expect Tang Ye to speak at this time.

"What's wrong……"

"Because I've said it many times, but you haven't done it, so it's not a matter of attention anymore. You have to do it, that's the arrangement."

Tang Ye placed his hands on the table and leaned forward.

Although the two were quite far apart, Sancho could clearly feel the pressure Tang Ye was exerting on him.

"I won't say anything about the few times you've done this, but the problem is that you keep doing it. You insist on controlling the ball when you could have made an attack. I've told you this a few times, but you didn't react, so I stopped talking about it."

"..."

"If we had played according to plan, our disadvantage wouldn't have been so great."

Tang Ye shrugged.

The meeting room was quiet, and Matti looked at Escriva.

Eskeriva did not seem surprised by Tang Ye's sudden statement.

and so……

Did Ferran make TY do this?

“I know, but there won’t be any problems this time, I can assure you, Tom.”

Sancho said, "I didn't expect Tang Ye to stand up like that."

"It's already the second leg of the knockout stage. If we lose again, we're out. You know, if you're eliminated in the round of 16, you're out of the game!"

Haaland wanted to reach out and tug at Tang Ye's sleeve, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Well, indeed.

Haaland also felt that someone in the team needed to step up and say something.

We need someone with absolute authority to give a good scolding to all those in the team who don't fully respect the tactics!
“And Zude.”

Tang Ye turned his gaze to Bellingham.

The England midfielder shuddered, while Sancho breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why didn't you come up when I told you to? You could have played a combination, but you didn't. Do you remember what happened last time we played PSG? I got the ball and there were three defenders next to me. Do you know how many teammates you have?"

"Not a single one! If you had just picked me up, would I have been unable to pass the ball? It's not like I can't get past those three."

The Dortmund players lowered their heads.

For some reason, Eskeriva also lowered his head, as if receiving a lecture from a teacher.

Fortunately, Matti patted him on the shoulder, and the Dortmund coach then raised his head again.

Boom!
Tang Ye tapped the table.

"I've come to the province of Heb! (German: I'm all alone!)"

“allein auf mich gestellt! (By your own strength!)”

"ganz Europa League eroberte (conquered the entire Champions League)"

Royce was startled, and his right hand unconsciously wanted to rise, but he ultimately suppressed the impulse.

"..."

"But now you're telling me that you clearly have the ability to advance, but you can't advance just because of a lack of tactical coordination?"

"Fuck!"

Using English, German, and Spanish interchangeably, Tang Ye's actions are truly remarkable.

However, it's also clear that he did unleash his suppressed anger.

Because his speech center was already a bit out of control. "Be honest, everyone follow the instructions. I don't believe we can't beat Paris. The reason we can't beat Paris is because a lot of people are fucking not following the tactics!"

"..."

Taking a deep breath, Tang Ye calmed down a little.

"In tomorrow's game, if anyone doesn't play according to the tactics, I will yell at them on the field, no matter who they are."

Upon hearing this, Pogba glanced at Bellingham and chuckled.

So he wasn't the only one who got criticized.

Just as he finished laughing, Tang Ye turned his gaze to Pogba, whose expression instantly turned serious, and he began to sit up straight: "I think you're absolutely right, Tom."

After making a quick adjustment, Tang Ye sat back down in his chair.

"I know I shouldn't be shouting like this, but we have to. If we lose again, we're out of the Champions League, out of the round of 16?"

"Am I the kind of player who can only make it to the Champions League round of 16?"

It has to be said that sometimes speaking in a strong tone is really useful. The Dortmund players in the room were unusually quiet. Apart from the few players that Tang Ye had emphasized, no one else made a sound.

Bellingham and Sancho frowned, reflecting on their past mistakes.

"That's it, um, sorry."

After he finished speaking, all the players turned their attention to Eskriva, who was at the front.

"Ahem, I think Tom makes a lot of sense. Let's all think about it carefully when we get back."

"If you experience sleep problems, please contact the team doctor immediately..."

"Okay, that's all. If there's nothing else, you can all go back now."

……

The players left one after another.

Today is Pogba's happiest day.

Just like going to school, the feeling of being scolded by the teacher alone is completely different from being scolded by a bunch of brothers together.

Pogba is currently facing the latter situation.

It feels so good to have someone share the burden.

"Paul, what are you laughing at?"

Marty suddenly walked up.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"I've noticed that you're the only one laughing right now."

"Oh, well, cough cough, actually I wasn't laughing."

Pogba shook his head quickly and ran towards the elevator.

Pogba is a smart man; he knew this was a very, very good opportunity.

He needs to perform well so that he won't be the one targeted by Tang Ye in the future!

whee!

……

When the match day arrived, Dongqiudi was the first to react, with the app immediately displaying a promotional poster for the Paris Saint-Germain vs. Dortmund match.

Today's match is a do-or-die battle for both sides, which is one of the highlights.

The return of Neymar and Di Maria from injury is the second highlight.

In the first leg, Dortmund's winning percentage was only slightly higher than Paris's, but this time it is much higher, mainly due to the news of Neymar and Di Maria's return.

It was already tough enough that we couldn't beat them, but then two key players from Paris came back.

What are you asking Dortmund to do?
[DeSkyTV]

"Actually, Dortmund can relax a bit, because a fully fit PSG is not something they can handle. Or rather, currently, apart from Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Chelsea, no other team can beat the current PSG!"

Despite it being a German rooftop, they were defending the French team, and Sky Germany was quickly forced to delete their video.

Of course, from an objective point of view, this season's Champions League is indeed clearly divided into different levels.

It's estimated that only Bayern Munich and a few Premier League teams can completely overpower Paris Saint-Germain.

At the Parc des Princes stadium, Tang Ye and Escriva arrived together in the press conference room.

Tang Ye is not Dortmund's captain, but everyone knows that his status in the team may even be higher than that of Reus, the official captain.

"Tom, in all three of your Champions League knockout stage appearances in your career, you've never been eliminated in the round of 16. Do you think today's match will break that pattern?"

After the reporter finished asking the question, Tang Ye gave him a not-so-friendly look.

Asking this kind of question just because we were down by one goal in the first leg shows this reporter is clearly looking for trouble.

“Paris is very strong, but... I think we’ll only know after the match. If we do get eliminated in the round of 16, my teammates and I won’t be able to accept that result.”

Upon arriving at the players' tunnel, Tang Ye and Neymar embraced; the two had indeed not seen each other for some time.

Are you also going to participate in that CS event?

Neymar suddenly started talking about other things on this occasion.

Actually, some of the things weren't very good, but Tang Ye still answered: "Well, and I'm the promotional master for this year's major, haha, I think I'll get a skin."

"Weapon skins?"

Neymar raises an eyebrow.

Tang Ye's treatment is clearly better than his!
"It's okay, it's about to begin."

Tang Ye nudged Neymar from behind, signaling the latter to focus on the game.

"hiss……"

They played like it was a Champions League final when they were in the round of 16, which is a terrible situation caused by falling behind in the first leg.

This is something that Dortmund players need to figure out how to solve!

"China Media Group! This is a live broadcast for you..."

"As you can see, the match has already begun!"

"Now I will introduce the starting lineups for both teams!"

Paris (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper: Navas
Defenders: Dagba, Danilo Pereira, Kimpembe, Abdou Diallo

Midfielders: Idrissa Gueye, Neymar, Paredes

Forwards: Di Maria, Mbappe, Draxler
Because of Icardi's injury, Paris Saint-Germain currently doesn't have a particularly formidable center forward available.

Therefore, Pochettino made a rather controversial move, which was to move Mbappe to play as a center forward.

A center forward who is less than 8 meters tall may sound absurd, but Paris Saint-Germain has actually tried this tactic many times in Ligue 1.

When they played against Lyon, Paris Saint-Germain used a 4-2-3-1 formation, and it worked surprisingly well.

I wonder how it will perform against Dortmund?

"Come!"

Dortmund displayed an extremely aggressive attacking style right from the start, with Tang Ye immediately looking for a combination with Bellingham after receiving the ball.

Bellingham received a very comfortable through pass from Tang Ye and quickly started moving forward.

Dortmund begins to push forward!
"Look at TY!"

Pochettino offered a reminder.

Tang Ye is that kind of player. If you relax just because he doesn't have the ball, you'll pay a very heavy price!
Dribbling forward, Bellingham seized the opportunity and passed the ball to Reus on the left flank.

Dortmund's captain accelerated with the ball, and Paris' defense was quickly retreating.

Tang Ye was on his way, his mind filled with a 3D image of the entire stadium, with dense lines connecting each player. His brain was working at an incredibly fast pace.

Got it!

"For those behind!"
