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

Chapter 685 The So-Called Bundesliga Champion

"bravo!"

The score was 5-0.

The camera panned to the away team fans in the stands.

Some fans had already left the stadium.

Some fans had already anticipated that the game would be lost, so even though they were thrashed 5-0, they still chose to stay in the stands.

Of course, their faces were definitely black; there was no way around it, after all, they had been tortured too badly.

Werder Bremen fans are no longer hoping for an equalizer or a comeback; they just hope that nothing catastrophic happens.

This tragedy will be ridiculed for many seasons in a row, and that won't do!

"Beep!"

Dortmund made a substitution, and Tang Ye was taken off.

"Don't change it!"

"Xuu!!! Ferran, don't switch players!"

"Keep playing!!!"

The Dortmund fans in the stands were getting anxious.

I couldn't get tickets for the Champions League, and as a result, I didn't get to see Tang Ye play a full match in the league. This is just too frustrating.

Unfortunately, Escriva is aiming for a three-game winning streak, so he can't afford to consider the fans' feelings for the time being; key players need to rest.

Chinese fans watching the broadcast panicked at this moment, and couldn't help but worry about Zhang Yuning on the field.

Without Tang Ye to take care of him, how will Zhang Yuning play for the next few tens of minutes?

Zhang Yuning was also very nervous at this time, but the situation he encountered next seemed to be different from what he had expected.

Snapped!
Pogba delivered a pass with the outside of his foot.

Zhang Yuning surged forward, raising his right leg in an attempt to control the ball.

The attempt failed; Zhang Yuning stopped the ball directly out of bounds.

"hiss……"

Feeling a little uncomfortable, Zhang Yuning looked at his teammates somewhat embarrassed, only to find that Pogba gave him a thumbs up.

"it's okay no problem!"

"come on! Come on!"

Pogba did not scold Zhang Yuning for wasting the opportunity; instead, he showed great patience.

In addition, Royce shouted to Zhang Yuning, emphasizing the precautions to be taken next.

Pogba and Reus became Zhang Yuning's bodyguards after Tang Ye was substituted.

"This……"

Zhang Yuning was speechless.

The fans in the Westfalen stands were also busy.

"Yuning!"

“Zhang YN!”

Boom!

“Zhang YN!”

8 Dortmund fans chanted Zhang Yuning's name in rhythm.

In the 76th minute, the score had reached 6-0. Werder Bremen's midfielders, defenders, and goalkeepers had all been outmaneuvered by Dortmund's players.

Pogba passed the ball to Zhang Yuning and then began to move forward.

"Give me!"

Pogba shouted, and Zhang Yuning passed the ball.

However, Zhang Yuning didn't understand Pogba's meaning; what the latter actually wanted was a through ball.

The two players' attempt to coordinate failed, and Zhang Yuning's pass ended up directly at Moisander's feet.

"Fuck!"

Pogba shouted, then turned around and gave Zhang Yuning a thumbs up: "It's okay, it's okay!"

"Awesome (in Chinese)"

"Go go go!" (German)

Zhang Yuning touched his head somewhat awkwardly.

He was determined to prepare for the Qatar World Cup, and he was well aware that his connections might cause him trouble.

However, Zhang Yuning's considerations were not comprehensive enough.

Everyone hates people who get ahead through connections, that's for sure.

The reason people dislike those who have connections is because the connections behind them are not good, which is why they are disliked.

Zhang Yuning's connections are so strong that he has now become the crown prince of Borussia Dortmund.

He's not just any crown prince; he's a crown prince in the truest sense!

No matter how many shots he misses, his teammates will always pass the ball to him whenever they have the chance.

"Nice!"

"come on!"

Go China!

The stands were filled with the cheers of the fans.

"Beep, beep beep—!!!"

The final score was 6-0, which, although not reaching an exaggerated double digit, was still a crushing defeat.

"After this match, Dortmund's points total will be... 78 points!"

"This score would have been Bundesliga champion level in previous seasons, and Dortmund still has 5 games left to play!"

"Yes, actually, if we look at the current standings, Dortmund is not far from winning the title early."

The 29th round of the league has ended.

The pressure is on Bayern.

The current situation is that Bayern cannot afford to lose a single match, otherwise they will be eliminated.

Click, click, click!

At the press conference, Escriva did not tell reporters Dortmund's next goal of winning all their remaining matches.

Escriva was indeed conservative, but upon closer examination, there was no need to tell the fans and media about this goal.

Looking at the current Bundesliga, there are very few teams that can stop Dortmund, so Dortmund's idea is naturally to win every game they can!

The reporter also asked Eskeriva about the conflict between himself and Ten Hag.

When this question was raised, Tang Ye unconsciously looked in the direction of Eskeriva.

Although he didn't do anything, Tang Ye was actually quite concerned about this matter.

It's like having two teachers, one math teacher and one language arts teacher.

Everything was fine until, for some unknown reason, your two teachers suddenly started fighting in the office. If it weren't for your classmates bringing the news, you wouldn't even know about it!

“Eric is a very good coach, that’s for sure. Well… and I sometimes learn from him, I admit that…”

"Then why did you strike first, Ferran? We saw that you were the one who struck first."

"..."

As the party that struck first, Escriva was certainly in the wrong and could only admit his mistake.

Click, click, click!

The scene was filled with the sound of camera shutters clicking, and the conflict between Ten Hag and Eskriwa sparked official discussion among reporters and fans.

Tang Ye sat beside him, watching Eskeriva answer questions one by one.

Although Eskeriva did not say it explicitly, Tang Ye knew that his Mr. Ferran was deeply troubled by this matter.

For Mr. Ferran, the opinions of fans and journalists are very important.

Hey……

pitiful!

"So, Tom, what are your thoughts on defeating Manchester United and advancing to the semi-finals?" "..."

Tang Ye turned his head sharply and realized that all the reporters on the scene were looking at him.

Okay, there's no time to pity Mr. Ferran anymore, Tom has also become a target of attack!

……

Dongqiudi pinned post: 17 hours and 12 minutes until the Champions League semi-final draw.

Semifinalists: Dortmund, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea.

Of the four teams that have reached the semi-finals, Manchester City is arguably the favorite to win the title.

After all, being top of the Premier League table brings a lot of benefits, and fans believe in Manchester City's strength.

Dortmund, on the other hand, is in third place, with their title hopes only higher than Chelsea's.

Well, it seems Dortmund isn't actually the most pitiful one.

General Tuchel's Chelsea is the least favored team!
On the day of the draw, Dortmund players gathered together and sat in front of the television to await the results.

"No, we definitely have to play Chelsea. Chelsea is absolutely the best."

Reus offered his opinion: "Moreover, we played Chelsea once in the group stage, so having experience against them, Chelsea is definitely the best choice for us."

"No, Marco! Actually, Chelsea is not easy to deal with. Anyway, that's my opinion. Drawing Liverpool is the best option."

Tang Ye and Reus could not reach a consensus. In Tang Ye's opinion, even drawing Manchester City would be better than drawing Chelsea.

"Really, believe me, I won't lie to you."

"OK OK!"

Marty interrupted the two who were arguing: "We'll know when the results are out. There's no point in you discussing it now."

"Is such that."

Bellingham shrugged, indicating his support for Marty.

What's there to argue about? We'll find out the results of the draw once the situation is clear.

"Actually, I still really want to play for Liverpool."

Tang Ye said one last thing.

The elimination of Manchester United has always been a lingering shadow in his mind.

Tang Ye wanted to make amends, and in his view, eliminating Manchester United's arch-rivals in the semi-finals was the best way to do so (although Tang Ye didn't know where the conflict between Manchester United and Liverpool came from, and he never understood it).

The camera panned to the draw ceremony, where Escriva sat on the far right of the first row, Guardiola on the far left, and Tuchel and Klopp in the middle.

Behind them sat officials from major leagues and UEFA, as well as executives from several clubs.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our event. This is the draw ceremony for the semi-finals of the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League. After more than half a season of competition..."

At the host's invitation, UEFA Deputy General Secretary Marchetti came out to begin today's formal program.

Unlike the Round of 16 draw, there are only 4 teams in the semifinals, so the draw will be very quick.

Liverpool (ENG)

Liverpool was the first team to be identified, Tang Ye squinted in front of the TV.

【Chelsea (ENG)】

"Oh!"

After two draws, the semi-final draw is now complete.

Group 1: Liverpool (away first, home second) vs. Chelsea.

Group 2: Borussia Dortmund (away first, home second) vs. Manchester City.

"..."

Looking at the lottery results displayed on the screen, Tang Ye rested his elbows on the sofa and supported his head with his hands.

Playing against Manchester City...

Ugh, I don't know what to say.

We can only wait for Mr. Ferran to return before making a decision together!
……

Today's Headlines - The Champions League semi-final draw results are out: Liverpool and Chelsea face off in an all-English clash, while Dortmund will take on Manchester City.

Ruhr newspaper's front-page headline: Due to UEFA sanctions, Escriva is unable to serve as manager in any leg of the semi-final.

"Eskeriva's suspension will last until the final, provided that Dortmund can advance to the final."

[Give Dortmund a serious overhaul, they're playing without a head coach in the semifinals!]

At this point, the manager is pretty much useless, and Manchester United is no longer effective.

[That's Teng Hai. Can Teng Hai compare to me, Aisheng?]

[666, weren't you guys calling Teng Sheng last season? Now you're all calling him Teng Hai (a popular internet slang term for someone who is overly enthusiastic about Teng)?]

[They're really playing Manchester City? I thought they were playing Liverpool. This is tough. Manchester City is stronger than Liverpool.]

The comments section was noisy, especially when it came to who was stronger, Manchester City or Liverpool. A group of Premier League fans in the comments section almost came to blows.

But no matter how much they argue, if either Manchester City or Liverpool fails to win the semi-final, then these two teams will not be able to truly compete in the Champions League.

More attention should be paid to Dortmund.

Dortmund is in the most difficult situation right now.

Because of the brawl in the quarterfinals, Dortmund now doesn't even have a head coach!
……

The Sun's German column reports that Borussia Dortmund has appealed to UEFA regarding their manager Eskriva's suspension, hoping to postpone the suspension until next season.

The Guardian - No team has beaten both Manchester clubs in the Champions League knockout stages this century. If Dortmund defeats Manchester City, they will become the first team in the 21st century to achieve a double victory over both Manchester clubs and advance to the Champions League final.

"I need to apologize to you for what happened in the quarterfinals."

At Dortmund's morning meeting, Eskrima immediately apologized to the players, leaving the Dortmund fans sitting below completely bewildered.

"The semi-final is indeed very crucial, and this match is very important to us. But I'm sorry that due to the suspension for the quarter-finals, I can't be with you on the sidelines at this critical time. It's a very serious mistake... Well, I need to apologize to you."

After speaking, Eskeriva gave a slight bow.

Reus, who was sitting at the very front, paused for a moment.

Reus wanted to tell Escriva that it wasn't necessary to do that, but in the end he didn't say it.

"Although I probably won't be able to be on the sidelines, I will be in the stands, and I will be watching you from the stands, that's for sure."

Eskeriva looked around, making eye contact with almost every player in Dortmund's first team: "At this crucial moment, I hope we can work together. In the last two months, I can assure you that this season is Dortmund's most promising season in recent years."

"So...we need to give something this season."

dong dong!

Eskeriva tapped the tactics board.

However, he didn't want the players to look at the tactics board; instead, he gestured to Matti next to him to switch to the next slide.

"There are two league games left this month, one against Union Berlin and one against Wolfsburg."

Holding up five fingers, Eskeriva emphasized to the players: "The Bundesliga season doesn't end until May, and what we need to do is win the title before it ends in April."

"Nothing is impossible, because we can do it right away!"

……
