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

Chapter 672 Dortmund's first match in April is against Frankfurt. Barcelona wants Messi to go to Manchester United?
Time quickly came to April 3rd, the day of the Bundesliga Round 27 match between Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt.

In the locker room, the Dortmund players were rubbing their hands together, looking somewhat eager to get going.

Frankfurt is a strong opponent, and Dortmund will try out their latest tactics in today's match.

Bomber formation!
"The flanks are the areas that need the most protection. While you're making runs, you need to be observant. When Tom is threatened, at least two players need to move over to support him..."

"They will definitely send a lot of players to target Tom, I can guarantee that."

Escriva was giving tactical instructions.

While the Dortmund coach was speaking, Matti stood in the corner, saying nothing, just looking at Eskriva with his eyes.

Logically speaking, Eskreva shouldn't have tried new tactics in this match against such a tough opponent as Frankfurt.

However, that's exactly what Eskeriva did.

"..."

By rubbing his neck, the perceptive Matti noticed Escriva's subtle intentions.

This guy has his sights set on the quarterfinals!
It was a very bold decision, and Escriva seemed to have taken the most difficult step for him.

but……

Marty looked serious.

Will Eskeriva's attempt really succeed?

Wanting everything but ending up with nothing – could this be Dortmund's fate this season?

……

Westfalenstadion!
The stadium was now filled with shouts of "wow" and "oh".

After the players came out of the tunnel, the Dortmund fans in the south stand started playing with their tifos.

Eskeriva handed God a check marked "7500 million euros," and then a pink, fierce-looking pig fell from the sky.

The little pig is wearing the Bundesliga championship shield on its head!

"Dortmund fans, haha!"

"Yes, that's why we call Westfalen Stadium a devil's stadium."

"Dortmund fans, especially those in the South Stand, the ones organized by the fan clubs, really do have a knack for creating a great atmosphere... haha!"

Zhan Jun couldn't find a suitable adjective, so he followed the director's camera to the podium: "Raubar, this is the president of Borussia Dortmund, and sitting next to him is Lunov, the club's financial director!"

"..."

The match has started, and Dortmund is playing rather conservatively today, not showing the extremely exaggerated attacking aggression they displayed in March.

"TangYe!"

"TangYe!"

"Wow!!!!"

A long pass was sent out, targeting Sancho on the right byline!
boom!
With a flick of the ball, Sancho quickly got rid of the defender and then cut inside.

Sancho wants to get into the penalty area!
"Come!"

Tang Ye pretended to receive the ball to attract the attention of the defenders.

As Sow and Ilsanko ran toward Tang Ye, Bellingham suddenly sprang into action, emerging from behind Tang Ye.

He received a pass from Sancho!
Have the opportunity!
Tang Ye sensed a scoring opportunity, turned and accelerated to block Ilsanko's position.

Pick and roll!

Bellingham!

A shot was fired into the bottom right corner of the goal.

"TOOOORRRRRRR!!!"

"Trapp's reaction was quick!"

"Yes, but Bellingham's angle is really good."

Even if you realize it, there's nothing you can do!

Upon seeing the ball go into the net, the Dortmund players immediately ran towards Bellingham.

“Barvo!”

27th minute!

A miscommunication between Guerrero and Pogba gave the opposing team an opportunity to advance through the middle. Sow made a long run with the ball and finally passed it to Jovic.

Frankfurt started playing possession football right near Dortmund's penalty area.

Snapped!
clap clap!

"Look at number 16!"

As soon as Tang Ye finished speaking, Pogba immediately ran towards number 16.

However, Pogba was too tall and his turning speed wasn't fast enough, so the opponent eventually got the ball.

boom!
The ball was passed through the penalty area, and Jokic, who received the ball, unleashed a powerful shot.

The ball went in!
The score is now 1-1!

"Hey……"

"xuuu!!!"

Jokic was booed by the fans after scoring the goal.

Dortmund's defense doesn't seem very solid, but that's just how it is.

The strength of a team's frontcourt and backcourt is determined by comparison.

When a team's attacking line gets closer and closer to the goal, the defensive line will get further and further away from the goal.

Dortmund's defense isn't that bad, it's just that it's far inferior to their attack.

Tang Ye passed the ball forward to Piszczek, who was coming up from the baseline.

Cross the ball at a 45-degree angle to find teammates!

The position after the dot.

Reus!
boom!
The Dortmund captain jumped up and headed the ball.

It's true that it went in, but unfortunately it was offside.

"Oh!!!"

"Fuck you!"

"No offside! No offside!"

"Referee, you've lost your horse!"

“Beep beep beep!!!”

"..."

"Oh, that's a penalty kick!"

"Hummels' foul was a bit unnecessary..."

It was a blatant pulling foul, and before the players from both sides could even argue, the referee awarded Frankfurt a penalty.

"Haha, if this penalty kick goes in, then Frankfurt will take the lead!"

Since playing Bayern Munich in March, Dortmund has been in the lead in every match.

In other words, Dortmund only played games where they had the upper hand.

Today, Frankfurt has a chance to put Dortmund on the back foot!

Jovic!
approach!

Break down the door!

Jovic scored his second goal of the match with a powerful shot that opened the scoring for Dortmund!

"Depend on!"

Escriva flung out his right hand, his upper and lower teeth clenched tightly, clearly in great pain.

Marty sat in the back.

The notebook displayed a lot of information, but Marty just looked at Eskeriva calmly.

Clearly, Dortmund's assistant coach was starting to panic.

However, Marty was ultimately just an assistant coach, and he couldn't interfere with Eskeriva's decision.

Time quickly came to the second half.

From the start of the first half to the 62nd minute of the second half, Dortmund has been playing in a new way.

However, the tactical system of this bomber is not obvious to the naked eye.

At least the fans and even the two commentators from CCTV didn't notice it.

From their perspective, Dortmund seemed to have some kind of problem with their teamwork, resulting in a stiff attacking style.

clap clap!

After a one-two pass with Sancho, Tang Ye arrived at the right baseline.

Return!

[De Bruyne's cutback pass lv5: Replica (Beyond Current Status)]

Proficiency: 2485/3000
A pass was made to Guerrero at the far post, who, after a reminder from Pogba, kicked the ball into the penalty area.

They gave us a high ball!
Haaland!
boom!
Haaland headed the ball to the right, intending to provide an assist for Tang Ye, but his header was not well executed.

At this moment, Tang Ye was still some distance from the landing point!
Speed ​​up and charge forward!

The moment the ball bounced off the grass, Tang Ye slid his right foot behind his left and delivered a fancy cross-legged kick to meet the incoming ball.

Snapped!
The ball was restarted, passing over Ilsanko and Haaland in the penalty area, and successfully passed to Reus.

boom!
A very easy shot!
The ball went in!
The score is now 2-2!

"Wowhoo!" Royce led his teammates out to celebrate, but Tang Ye was called over by Eskeriva not long after.

"If you're going to the baseline, then have Jaden or Marco take you with you!"

"If you're going to the bottom line, you need someone with you!"

The scene was noisy, so Eskeriva basically had to shout when he spoke.

Since we're playing with bombers, we absolutely cannot let the bombers face the defenders alone.

Otherwise, what if Frankfurt sends 2-3 people to block Tang Ye near the baseline?
If you can't even get out of the area, what's the point of launching an attack?
The game continues.

Escriva paced back and forth along the sidelines of the pitch.

Dortmund's manager's current plan is to score another goal and take the lead before making further attempts, so that Dortmund's tactics will be more complete when they play Manchester United.

But Eskreva seems to have overestimated the players' adaptability to the bomber tactics; Reus and Haaland always seem confused about what they should be doing.

"Marco and Erling."

Eskeriva said, gesturing for Marty to write down the names of the two men.

"..."

"Jovic!"

"Long range! Fire it!"

"Oh, beautiful!"

"The ball is in!"

"hat trick!"

"That's Jovic's hat trick!!!"

Jovic isn't exactly outstanding, but he was the first player this season to score a hat-trick against Dortmund.

Jovic appeared very excited after scoring the goal, holding up three fingers in front of the camera.

The louder the Dortmund fans in the stands chanted, the more excited Jovic became.

The opposing fans' criticism and the cheers of their own fans are like an aphrodisiac for the strikers.

"Roar!!!!"

"The Dortmund players seem a bit out of sorts today!"

"Yes, perhaps they're focusing their attention on the quarterfinals?"

They were initially discussing match tactics, but the commentators' attention drifted to the Champions League.

Facing formidable Manchester United in the quarterfinals, Dortmund will try to prepare for the Red Devils by shifting their focus away from the league.

This reason seems to explain why Dortmund couldn't beat Frankfurt today.

Then the problem is coming.

If they're going to let the team go, then why is Dortmund fielding their full-strength lineup today?

With the score at 3-2, the Frankfurt players celebrated wildly amidst a chorus of boos, seemingly determined to humiliate Dortmund.

Escriva directed the players to make a quick adjustment.

"Dortmund!"

"Dortmund!"

Frankfurt's players are in good form, but Dortmund's squad strength is undeniable, so there's still a point to consider.

In the 76th minute, just as Escriva was about to substitute Tang Ye, Sancho broke into the penalty area and was brought down, successfully winning a penalty for Dortmund.

"Nice!"

Eskeriva clenched his right fist.

Dortmund still has a significant points advantage in the Bundesliga, so they just need to avoid defeat in today's match!
"Penalty kick..."

"Reus passed the ball to Tang Ye."

"Tang Ye failed to capitalize on the last penalty opportunity, so let's see how he performs this time."

"……approach!"

"Break the door!"

The shot was aimed at the bottom right corner; the goalkeeper guessed the direction correctly, but unfortunately, it was useless.

"TORRR!!!"

With his hands raised, Tang Ye placed them on Sang Qiao's head and exhaled a long breath.

"Fuck, we almost lost!"

"Their strikers are in such good form that they shouldn't have conceded three goals under normal circumstances."

Marty and the players returned to the locker room together, discussing the match statistics on the way.

Frankfurt had far fewer attacks than Dortmund, but they still managed to hold their own against Dortmund, thanks in large part to Jovic's breakout performance.

The team's tactics are solid and rarely change.

But the players' form is hard to say; before the match, no one knew Jovic could score a hat-trick.

"I thought we were going to lose, haha!"

Tang Ye put his hand on Bellingham's shoulder.

If it weren't for that final penalty, Dortmund might have had to make a substitution earlier and give up on scoring.

"Actually, there isn't much difference between 1 point and 0 points."

Marty walked at the front, looking back at Tang Ye.

"That seems to be true, but getting 1 point is more acceptable, losing would be terrible."

Tang Ye was drinking water.

Having started playing professional football at the age of 16, Tang Ye is extremely knowledgeable about league matters.

Dortmund is currently enjoying a high winning percentage in the Bundesliga, and in this situation, it's best not to lose.

That's how it is in top leagues. If you lose even one game, the other teams in the league will study the video of that game and then analyze you.

You'll explode once they've analyzed it all.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't think about it."

Pogba interrupted Tang Ye and Mati's conversation: "We probably won't be playing Frankfurt again this season. Let's prepare for the next game."

"Ah."

The players' tunnel quieted down considerably when the topic of the next game came up.

Bellingham could even hear Tang Ye's breathing clearly.

Dortmund's next match!
That was the Champions League quarter-final against Manchester United!

……

The front page headline of Diario Sport reports that Barcelona is pushing for a contract extension with Messi.

"Barcelona expects to extend Messi's contract for another 1+1 years. The club's management is optimistic about the outcome, but they believe the Argentine's salary is too high."

"If Messi is willing to take a 50% pay cut, then renewing his contract will not be a problem," according to a reporter from Diario Sport.

The claim that Barcelona demanded Messi take a 50% pay cut to renew his contract might sound like journalists talking nonsense, but there is actually some credibility to it.

Messi's current weekly wage at Barcelona is around 100 million euros, which is incredibly high.

A comparison reveals that Messi's weekly wage is higher than that of Tang Ye and Ronaldo combined.

A few years ago, Barcelona could have barely afforded this salary.

However, since the beginning of the last few seasons, Barcelona's financial problems have become increasingly serious, making it very difficult to continue paying Messi's salary.

The topic of #Barcelona's unwillingness to renew Messi's contract has been widely discussed among fans.

There has been no official response, but most fans believe the news is true.

Just 12 hours after the news was released by Diario Sport, Romano posted a message on his Twitter account.

"Messi's contract with Barcelona will expire this June, and Barcelona hopes that Messi will join Manchester United on a free transfer, with Manchester United providing the player with a weekly wage of approximately £800,000."

Even Manchester United, known for its high salaries, is unwilling to bear the staggering expense of an £80 weekly wage.

However, because it was a free transfer, Manchester United did not have to pay a transfer fee of at least 8000 million euros for Messi.

Barcelona's idea is that Messi will join Manchester United on a free transfer, and then Manchester United will use the transfer fee to pay Messi's salary.

With a three-season contract, Manchester United actually paid £500,000 a week in wages plus a €40 million transfer fee.

4000 million euros to buy Messi!
Hmm, that sounds much better.

But it's not over yet.

Barcelona will pay Manchester United an additional €1.5 million in exchange for Tang Ye.

hiss……

Here things start to get illogical again.

The Barcelona president's outrageous ideas were met with a barrage of criticism from Messi and Tang Ye fans.

Messi fans are unhappy because Barcelona is willing to spend money to buy Tang Ye but not to spend money to renew Messi's contract, which they consider disrespectful.

Tang Ye's fans were even more unhappy.

1.5 million euros?

What are you doing, Barcelona?
