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

Chapter 670 Eric is confident about reaching the Champions League quarterfinals because he will receive remote assistance from the master.
Toutiao reposted: The Chinese national football team officially released its 48-team roster for the Asian Cup qualifiers, with Tang Ye, Wu Lei, and Zhang Yuning temporarily absent.

Next year is the Qatar World Cup, and the Asian qualifiers for the 48 teams will begin in May.

The timing of this match is very clever, as players on the Chinese national football team who play in Europe often encounter scheduling conflicts.

Wu Lei and Zhang Yuning will most likely return to China to prepare for the match, but it's hard to say whether Tang Ye will return.

After all, for the Chinese team, advancing to the round of 48 shouldn't be a problem.

……

Tang Ye reposted the Chinese national football team's Asian Cup qualifying poster on Weibo: (muscles) (muscles) (muscles).

March 19th is the day of the Bundesliga Round 26 match between Cologne and Dortmund.

Dortmund players have two things to do today. The first is to beat Cologne away from home.

The second thing is to watch the Champions League quarter-final draw tonight!

Champions League quarter-finals...

Tang Ye sat in his seat, thinking about the opponents they might face in the quarterfinals.

The moment Escriva saw Tang Ye's expression, he guessed what the Dortmund midfielder was thinking.

"Tom"

Eskeriva spoke up, and Tang Ye raised his head.

May I sit next to you?

"Oh, of course, no problem!"

Tang Ye immediately made way for Eskeriva.

Mr. Ferran's question is unnecessary.

Even if it weren't for the respected Mr. Ferran, Tang Ye would still be willing to give up his position.

"Actually... the quarterfinals are alright, we can focus on the league now."

Eskeriva spoke slowly.

He certainly values ​​the quarter-finals, but he is also well aware of Dortmund's strength.

Borussia Dortmund's current strength does not support them in competing for a Champions League title.

From this perspective, if Dortmund loses the Bundesliga title they were about to win because they are preoccupied with the Champions League, they will ultimately not achieve a good result in the Champions League as well.

This is really terrible!

Although Eskeriva is relatively aggressive in his tactical thinking, his tactical execution and daily life are both on the conservative side.

Tang Ye shrugged: "It's okay, just keep an eye on both of them, haha!"

Tang Ye believed this match was a sure thing.

To be honest, Tang Ye won't put in too much effort in matches where he's confident; that's not his style.

"Okay, keep it up!"

Eskeriva pressed down on Tang Ye's shoulder with his left hand and stood up from the bench in the locker room.

Pogba was sitting next to Tang Ye at that moment. Seeing Tang Ye shaking his head around as if looking for something, Pogba handed Tang Ye a bottle of sports drink.

"Oh, thank you!"

"Paul!"

Tang Ye lightly punched Pogba in the chest, then picked up his drink and took a few sips.

Bellingham was sitting opposite Pogba watching as he handed Tang Ye water. The England midfielder squinted, seemingly not very pleased with Pogba's behavior.

Eskeriva gave a final emphasis on the tactics, while Tang Ye sat in his seat.

Just as he was listening to the mission instructions, a voice suddenly appeared in Tang Ye's mind.

Endurance: 84 → 85

It's very rare for attributes to suddenly increase before the start of a match.

All I can say is that sedimentation is indeed very useful!
Tang Ye (22 years old)
[Ball possession: 92; Passing: 95]

[Shots: 88; Headers: 62; Set pieces: 93]

Speed: 82; Endurance: 85; Physical Strength: 89

[Defense: 77; Vision: 99]

Overall rating: 94
Based on the current situation, Tang Ye needs to pay attention to two attributes next: physical confrontation and shooting.

Raise both of these attributes to 90 so that Tang Ye can help the team as much as possible in the Champions League quarter-finals!
……

"Left side, come up yourself!"

clap clap!

After a one-two pass with Thorgan, Tang Ye arrived at the left baseline.

Get ready!

Snapped!
[De Bruyne's cutback cross lv5: Replica (Beyond Form)]

Proficiency: 2271/3500
A cutback pass to Pogba!

Pogba controlled the ball and adjusted his position, quickly creating distance between himself and the defender.

"Go up! Go up!"

The goalkeeper signaled to his teammates to press, but by then it was too late.

Because Pogba has found the right shooting angle!

boom!
A long-range shot swept out, and Pogba successfully blasted the ball into the goal.

"Pretty!"

"Pogba's world-class goal!"

"1:0!"

In the 28th minute of the first half, Dortmund successfully opened the scoring against Cologne.

“xuuu!”

Amid boos from the stadium, Pogba charged off the field.

I'm offering this slide!

boom! ! !
"Nice Paul!"

Tang Ye jumped up and threw a punch.

"Keep going! It's not over yet!"

"..."

Swish!

The fried meatballs in the middle are moved horizontally to break free.

However, Tang Ye seemed to have underestimated his opponent, as Hector tripped him with a single kick.

The referee bit his whistle, ready to blow it, but Tang Ye staggered a few steps and stopped.

He didn't fall!
"Oh!!"

Accelerate again towards the bottom line!
"Inside!"

Finding Haaland in the penalty area, Tang Ye delivered a perfectly executed 45-degree cross.

Snapped!
Haaland!
Chest control!

Haaland looked a little off balance, but fortunately his aerial slash came just in time.

A powerful shot went out!
"Haaland!"

"2:0!"

"Dortmund's second goal of the match!"

"Hiss... In that case, Cologne might be in a bit of a predicament..."

"Yes, we know that Cologne's Bundesliga performance this season was actually quite good, but we didn't expect them to perform like this."

Now in the 35th minute, the situation on the field has almost completely tilted in Dortmund's favor.

Cologne tried to fight back, but the pressing from Bellingham, Sancho, and Thorgan Hazard prevented them from even passing the ball forward.

"Hey, Coach He, there's something wrong with what you just said."

"Cologne's good Bundesliga results are useless, after all, Dortmund is currently first in the Bundesliga standings, haha. Besides, Bayern and Leipzig both lost to Dortmund!"

With the score at 2-0 at halftime, Dortmund continued their attacking momentum.

Cologne is actually quite pitiful, as this match happened to be Dortmund's last match in March.

With two full weeks to spare, there was no need to worry about the upcoming matches, so Escriva had no intention of substituting Tang Ye off the field.

Furthermore, with a two-goal lead, Escriva allowed Dortmund to try a new tactic.

Not only Bellingham, but Pogba's position was also moved forward by Eskeriva.

Of course, Escriva's adjustment was not obvious, so the commentators and fans couldn't see it immediately.

"..."

"Catbach, come up here..."

"Actually, a long pass would have been a good option, but Cologne played rather conservatively. Katbach passed the ball to Hector in the middle first!"

The moment Hector received the ball, Tang Ye and Bellingham moved close to him, preparing to double-team the opponent.

But the opposing team was clearly prepared; Hector pulled the ball back and turned, fooling both Tang Ye and Bellingham.

boom!
Send a low, long pass forward!
Pogba stretched out his leg to intercept, but he was a little unlucky.

A long pass from Hector rolled past Pogba and successfully found Drexler in the attacking third.

"Back post!"

Bürki reminded him, but it seemed a little too late.

Drexler passed the ball to Duda, who dribbled and accelerated to the right post before unleashing a powerful shot from an impossible angle.

"TOOOOOORRRR!!!!"

"Duda scores!"

"1:2!"

"Hey, this goal was crucial!"

Putting everything else aside, Cologne's fast break was indeed very clever.

Of course, the most crucial moment was Duda's final, explosive kick!
[Eskriva takes the blame for this]

[Don't make me blame everything, okay? This was purely due to the opponent's good play.]

[Come on, Dortmund!] [If they beat Bayern this time, they'll be almost 10 points behind, right? Are the German capitalists trying to sabotage things so Dortmund doesn't want to win the title early?]

[Colon isn't smart. He should have waited until Tang Ye was substituted before unleashing his full power. Isn't he afraid of getting beaten up if he unleashes his power now?]

Cologne has outstanding attacking players, and with the home advantage, they managed to score a goal against Dortmund.

Of course, that doesn't matter.

"Just be careful, it's okay."

Escriva shouted from the sidelines.

However, even though they were standing in front of Eskeriva, the Dortmund players all focused their attention on Tang Ye.

Ferran won't yell at people if they play badly, but Tom really will!

Fortunately, it wasn't a Champions League match, so Tang Ye remained relatively calm, simply signaling Pogba to move his position forward again.

Like Dortmund, Cologne is clearly strong in attack but weak in defense. However, their attack is not so exaggerated that it can completely overwhelm their defense, so it is not too difficult to deal with them.

"Tang Ye, take the corner kick!"

"Haaland!"

boom!
Haaland's header blasted open the Cologne goal.

3: 1!

"Wow, Tang Ye, another hat trick of assists!"

"Yeah, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but look at Cologne, there's a clear problem: their center-backs are too short."

Tang Yechuan's ability to play high balls is among the top 0 in the entire history of football.

It's very difficult to compete with Tang Ye if your defenders are only average in height!
"..."

"Tang Ye, come up from the left!"

Haaland has the ball!

"Give it to Sancho!"

A "bang" sounded on the field as Sancho fell in the penalty area, successfully giving Dortmund a penalty kick.

"Do you want Erling?"

Tang Ye twirled the ball in his hands twice, preparing to hand it to Haaland: "You can compete for the Golden Boot."

Haaland is currently second only to Lewandowski in the Bundesliga top scorers list, which is why Tang Ye wanted to give up the penalty.

"It's too far off, let's forget about it."

Haaland stepped back, clearly indicating he wasn't going to take the penalty.

"OK then."

Tang Ye shrugged and walked straight to the penalty spot.

“Beep!!!!”

call……

approach!

Focusing on the goalkeeper's shift in weight, Tang Ye's shot struck the post directly.

"I rely on!"

Standing in the penalty area, Tang Ye noticed a camera turning towards him. He brushed the grass off his shorts and touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.

"hiss……"

Dongqiudi Match Report: Dortmund defeated Cologne 3-1 away, achieving a perfect record in all competitions in March. Tang Ye provided a hat-trick of assists but missed a penalty, while Pogba scored a world-class goal. (123052 comments)

Dongqiudi reposted Ruhr News: Dortmund is not far from securing the Bundesliga title in advance.

Appendix: 2020-21 Bundesliga Standings (after Round 26):

1. Borussia Dortmund, 69 points.

2. Bayern Munich, 60 points.

3. RB Leipzig, 52 points.

4. Wolfsburg, 49 points.

5. Frankfurt, 48 points.

A Bundesliga season consists of 34 rounds, and we've now reached round 26.

That means everyone only has 8 rounds left to play, but the gap between Bayern and Dortmund is a full 9 points.

In response, a commentator from Sky Germany said on a live radio broadcast: "Bayern now has two paths to take. One is to focus on the Champions League, because a nine-point gap in the 26th round is too much. The second path is to compete for the title on two fronts."

"If Bayern chooses the second route, they would better hope that Dortmund is distracted in the Champions League, causing their league win rate to drop. Because unless Dortmund suffers consecutive defeats, it is basically impossible for Bayern to catch up with 9 points."

Just five minutes after the end of the 26th round, a Dortmund fan group posted a picture online to mock Bayern Munich.

In the picture, Tang Ye, wearing Dortmund's number 10 jersey, stands atop a mountain, looking down at Müller and Lewandowski as they try to climb up.

The most outrageous thing about this photo isn't its visual appeal, but rather the fact that Tang Ye has a battle record board on his head.

[10/0/37]

Appendix: 2020-21 Bundesliga Assist Leaderboard (after Round 26):

1. Tang Ye (Borussia Dortmund), 37 times.

2. Müller (Bayern), 14 times.

3. Kostic (Frankfurt), 11 times.

4. Daichi Kamada (Frankfurt), 10 times.

4. Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund), 10 times.

Dortmund fan groups were quite excited, adding a caption below the mocking image.

How expensive does a rental have to be to qualify as a rental?

……

“Ole Ole Ole～”

"Oh!!!"

In the away team's locker room, Dortmund players are celebrating their perfect record in March.

With a league victory over Bayern Munich and a comeback win in the second leg of the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain, Dortmund's perfect record in March speaks volumes about its quality.

Anyway, it's definitely worth celebrating!

"Stop shouting! Stop shouting!"

Reus gestured for everyone to calm down.

Even Bayern Munich has been beaten, so a mere Bundesliga victory really doesn't warrant much celebration.

"What's wrong, Marco?"

"Harland asked."

Reus sat in his seat, holding his phone: "The draw has begun."

wow！

Reus's words were very helpful; the entire locker room fell silent in a very short time, and Tang Ye quickly found his phone.

UEFA Champions League

[Quarter-final]

……

Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Porto...

In the team office, Van der Gach was overwhelmed as he browsed through the potential opponents for the quarterfinals.

With Tang Ye absent, the intensity of the Champions League this season is still so high. Isn't this just making things difficult for Manchester United, the defending champions?

He looked at Ten Hach.

Van der Gach was somewhat surprised because he found that Ten Hach did not seem particularly nervous.

"Eric."

Van der Gach spoke up: "There are no reporters here."

"I know."

Ten Hach glanced at Van der Gach, who shrugged: "So what I mean is, if you're nervous, just say it."

"Actually, well... it's alright."

Ten Hag appeared nonchalant: "Bruno's performance has been quite good, and I think we are still the biggest favorite to win the title this season."

Ten Hag is very confident in the team's strength.

After all, they're second in the Premier League. They shouldn't be afraid of who they draw!

The draw has begun, and the first guest to draw [MUN] immediately did so.

"Well, here we come."

Ten Hach remained seated in his chair, while Van der Gach walked around the desk and came up behind Ten Hach.

"We most likely won't draw Manchester City."

Ten Hag said, then chuckled with Van der Gach: "Tom knows these teams in the quarterfinals very well. I'll have him do an analysis of our opponents. I'll add to it as I see fit. Advancing to the semifinals shouldn't be a problem."

"Haha, Eric!"

Van der Gach was pleasantly surprised.

As expected, Ten Hag's ability is beyond doubt, as he is the head coach I've followed for so long.

"If Tom helps, then... eh?"

Van der Gach suddenly widened his eyes, leaving Ten Hach somewhat bewildered.

"what happened?"

"This this……"

Following the direction of Van der Gahr's index finger, Ten Hach's gaze fell on the computer screen: "Is there anything Tom can't solve..."

【BVB】
