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

Chapter 702: Heartbreaking! Eskeriva Becomes a Son Late in Life
[Wow, a penalty kick!]

Where is the streamer?!

[Awesome! It's still my King Tang! He almost got past two!]

Messi!

Forget Messi, you're still stuck in the past, the Jurassic period is long over!

boom!
As soon as Wang Chao landed on the gaming chair, the first thing he saw was the "penalty" indicator in the upper left corner of the screen.

"Holy crap, I went to the bathroom and they're throwing a penalty kick, guys!"

"It's awesome!"

"King Tang!"

Inside the penalty area, Klostermann passed the ball to Tang Ye.

He knew that Tang Ye was Dortmund's first-choice penalty taker, something that both the professional players and the players' jerseys knew.

Tang Ye held the ball in his hands and spun it around twice before walking towards Haaland.

"King Tang, you need to concede a point!"

"Indeed, I think it's fine to give up a point. Let Haaland get a hat-trick before the Champions League final to find his form."

"Haaland, you conceded two penalties before, can you take advantage of this one?"

Time flies, and Wang Chao still remembers the time at the beginning of the season when Haaland conceded two points in a row.

To be honest, if it weren't for those two conceded penalties, Dortmund's first-choice penalty taker would still be Haaland. This is because Tang Ye isn't the type of player who likes to fight with his teammates for possessions.

It's hard to tell which team is stronger between Dortmund and Chelsea just by looking at them on the surface; that's when the players' form becomes very important.

"come on."

Tang Ye squeezed Haaland's neck muscles hard, trying to get his teammate excited.

clap clap!

Haaland clapped his hands, took the penalty kick handed to him by Tang Ye, and walked towards the penalty area.

"Beep beep beep!!"

"Haaland! Haaland!"

"Haaland!"

The fans were very excited, but this excitement was limited to Dortmund fans and neutral fans.

With the score at 4-1, if Haaland scores this penalty, we can really start celebrating early.

Inside the penalty area, Haaland and Gulacsi faced off.

"Beep!!!"

As the referee blew his whistle, a smile suddenly appeared on Haaland's terrifying expression.

approach!

boom!
A powerful shot was delivered.

Gulasic guessed the direction correctly.

But it's no use!

"TOOOORR!!!!"

"5:1!"

"5:1!"

"It's down!"

"Dortmund is the champion!"

Sky Sports commentators were already getting excited, and fans heard familiar voices.

From Dawn Jensen!

This is a die-hard fan of Tom the Great; Chinese football fans will never forget him!

"Vamos!"

Eskreva and Martí slid onto the pitch on their knees, and Tang Ye easily jumped onto Haaland with a running start.

"Erling!"

"We won! We won!!!"

Objectively speaking, the competition is not over yet.

but!

If you think about it, you'll realize that there wasn't enough time left for Leipzig to score four goals against Dortmund.

They've only scored one goal so far!
"Nice guys!"

"I'm ending my match early. I'll come back in 10 minutes to watch the awards ceremony! I'll also check out the FA Cup over there. Holy crap, Manchester City is still awesome."

"..."

Sabitzer raised his chin and looked at the main lights at the top of the Berlin stadium.

Looking in the direction the light was shining, that was where the Dortmund players were located.

Tang Ye was clinging to Haaland, raising his right hand to vent his pent-up emotions.

hiss……

Last season in the Champions League, RB Leipzig also fell to Tang Ye.

Seeing Olmo approach, Sabitzer shrugged: "Back then, I never imagined he could even snatch the German Cup from me."

"..."

"Wir halten fest und treu zusammen"

"Ball-heil Hurra, Borussia!"

"Beep, beep beep—!!!"

"Wow!!!!"

The match ended, and the final score of this German Cup final was 1-5.

Dortmund defeated RB Leipzig with an overwhelming advantage to win their second title of the season.

That's... the German Cup!

"Meister! (Champion)"

“Meister!”

The camera focused on Reus, the Dortmund captain who had somehow ended up kneeling on the grass.

His teammates didn't bother him, and Haaland and Bellingham immediately started sliding on their knees.

"Wow!"

boom!
Swish swish!
A perfectly standard three stripes!

They seem to have learned very well, but their teacher is very strict.

"Not good!"

Tang Ye shrugged: "It's too shallow. Even if they watch a pirated broadcast, they wouldn't be able to see this in the middle!"

"You're too strict!"

Bellingham gave Tang Ye a shove.

"Ha ha!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, but you need to find a way to do better, Zude!"

Boom!

Bang bang bang!
The fans started releasing smoke again.

The good news is that Dortmund fans knew they were about to receive the trophy, so they didn't throw out all the smoke.

If the fog is too thick, they won't be able to see the awards ceremony!

[DFB-Pokal Winner] (German Cup Champion)
Borussia Dortmund

……

Dongqiudi Match Report: Haaland's hat-trick led Dortmund to a dominant 5-1 victory over RB Leipzig to win the 2020-21 German Cup.

The podium is ready.

The Dortmund players walked up in an orderly fashion.

"Make room for me! Make room for me!"

Reus was in the middle, and the Dortmund captain gestured for Pogba to make room.

This spot is reserved for Eskeriva!
Eskeriva is receiving the championship trophy from the German Football Association.

It's golden and has a strange shape.

However, the trophy only slightly attracted Tang Ye's attention.

The championship trophies in European football competitions are all strangely shaped. As a terrifying super mercenary, Tang Ye has won many league trophies.

What matters is not the shape of the trophy, but the meaning behind it.

"Come on! Come on! Ferran! (Hurry up! Eskeriva)"

Eskreva handed the trophy to Reus, then tried to walk to the far side of the line.

But Royce pulled him back: "Stay inside! With me!"

"nonono!"

"Stop talking, come in quickly!"

Tang Ye also lent a hand.

Tang Ye and Reus were both trying to persuade him, so Eskeriva had no choice but to stand obediently in the middle of the group and hold the trophy with Reus.

"Hey, what should we do? Should we shout '1' and lift it immediately, or pause for one second?"

Eskeriva shouted loudly.

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye laughed beside him.

Eskeriva refused to stand in the middle just now, but he's actually the most excited guy right now.

This is the first trophy he has won since joining Borussia Dortmund (not his first title)!

The player did not answer Eskriva's question.

"3!"

"2!"

"Uh, I don't know!"

"1!"

After a one-second pause, Reus suddenly raised the trophy: "Dortmund!!!!" He used a lot of force, and Escriva, who was standing on the stage, felt a force coming from above, a force that wanted to pull him into the sky.

"Wow!!!!"

Bang bang! ! !

Bang bang bang!
Reus handed the trophy to Eskreva.

Eskeriva was about to give it to Tang Ye, but Tang Ye forcefully pushed it back.

The masters have long since figured out how to win trophies.

At this time, as an elder, the master should give way to the child.

This is the first time little Ferran has ever touched the championship trophy!

Eskeriva held the trophy in his arms.

Raise both hands: "Vamos!"

Come again!

"Vamos!"

As they slowly walked toward the stands, Escriva kept shouting like that the whole way.

Upon reaching the stands below the presidential platform, fans continuously chanted "Francisco".

He took off his suit jacket, rolled up the white lining underneath, and Escriva revealed the white hair and dense veins on his arms.

Take a deep breath!
"Vamos!!!"

Surprisingly, the oldest person, Eskeriva, was the one who had the least control over his emotions.

Tang Ye stood beside Eskeriva, watching him celebrate with the trophy.

If you were to ask Tang Ye to describe Eskeriva's current feelings...

Yes, that is indeed a difficult task.

but……

Having a child in old age!

Correct!
It's like having a child late in life!

Tang Ye smiled with satisfaction.

He felt he had come up with a perfect answer.

She was almost 60 years old when she finally had a son.

Oh oh oh!
……

The Ruhr Workers newspaper tweeted: German Cup champions! Borussia Dortmund beat RB Leipzig 5-1 to win their second title of the season!

Football clubs are like this: they haven't won a championship for many years, and then they win a lot of championships at once.

Why does this phenomenon occur?
Because in the season they won the championship, this club awakened.

What is awakening?

Awakening is not just a simple team upgrade, it's a level up!

Once you've leveled up, won't you be able to excel in all kinds of domestic competitions?

Yes, haha!

Escriva held the golden trophy in his hands, its pierced surface reflecting light.

"Well... I actually think that the criticisms I received from fans were somewhat inappropriate."

"Of course I made mistakes, but in professional sports, results ultimately speak for themselves."

Escriva patted the trophy in his arms: "We have won two trophies, and of course, there is one more that is yet to come. This is the result of many seasons of hard work."

Looking at the camera, the Dortmund coach had a big smile on his face.

"I am willing to accept some criticism from the fans, but what I want to say is that, at least for now, I have achieved self-sufficiency at Dortmund, and I absolutely believe in the title of 'Dortmund coach'."

"Wow!"

Before Escriva could finish speaking, the players in the press conference room started to jeer.

The camera then pans to Tang Ye, who is just putting chewing gum into his mouth.

Tang Ye wasn't embarrassed at all when the reporter caught him in this moment.

"What's wrong?"

“TY, from the quarterfinals to the semifinals, you eliminated Manchester United and Manchester City one after another, and now it’s Chelsea.”

The reporter gave a knowing smile: "Can you lead your team to a three-peat against Premier League teams?"

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye shook his head: "I can't say it's about leading the team. You all saw today's game. Every player in every position performed very well, which is why we were able to win the championship. Football is not a one-person game. I remember many people saying that."

"As for whether we can achieve a three-peat against Premier League teams..."

Tang Ye revealed his pure white teeth.

"I don't know, but I was the Premier League champion last season."

"Wow!!!!"

Click, click, click!

Tang Ye made a rare harsh statement, and this video had to be recorded.

Aren't you afraid of being proven wrong later?

The reporter then posed his second question. In the German reporter's impression, Tang Ye was not the kind of player who liked to boast, at least not in front of the camera.

"It doesn't matter, it's the Champions League final anyway."

"Losing is shameful no matter what you do, so I think it's better to just be decisive."

Tang Ye bit down hard on his chewing gum: "Why not win if we can win?"

"Ha ha!!"

"Wow! Tom!"

Clap clap clap!

Clap clap clap clap!
……

After the German Cup match ended, Tang Ye once again became a trending topic, but his popularity couldn't surpass that of the Chinese national football team.

Just before Tang Ye played in the German Cup final, the Chinese team easily eliminated the Philippines in the Asian Cup qualifiers' round of 48. They only needed one more win to secure a spot in the final round of 12.

This news made Tang Ye feel very comfortable.

The Chinese team has secured a spot in the final round of World Cup qualifiers, which means they can now focus all their energy on preparing for the Champions League final.

A familiar opponent: Chelsea, the Blues of the Premier League!

The scene of playing against Chelsea in the group stage is still playing in Tang Ye's mind. After all, they were the team that had put Dortmund second in the group stage, so of course Tang Ye would pay extra attention to them.

Bad news: Judging from the match footage, the current Chelsea is much stronger than the Chelsea in the group stage.

Good news: The Dortmund of today is not the Dortmund of the group stage.

……

Dortmund has three games left this month: two unimportant league matches and a crucial Champions League final.

Because of the Champions League final, Dortmund must also play seriously in the two Bundesliga matches beforehand to ensure that all players are in top form.

This will surely make Dortmund's opponents in rounds 33 and 34 very sad.

"..."

"Wow! Tang Ye! Another assist for a brace!"

"Although he's a substitute today, it seems that this can't limit Tang Ye's performance."

The comments section was filled with accusations of "data manipulation" and "stomping noobs".

But to be fair, Dortmund this season is really overpowered in the Bundesliga, so there's nothing they can do about beating weaker teams.

As for Tang Ye.

There's not much to say, really. Tang Ye has no prejudice against any other Bundesliga teams.

Even in the Champions League knockout stages, the maestro provided assists in every single match!
"..."

"Guerrero!"

"Just kick him!"

"Pretty!"

"The ball is in!"

"It's 3-0 now. In that case, Dortmund should start making a large number of substitutions."

"Yes, we can use all the substitutions and let the players on the bench come on and warm up!"

"Just want to feel a little involved, haha!"

"Some Dortmund players haven't even made a league appearance this season!"

"..."

"Beep, beep beep!!!"

……
