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

Chapter 754 Wei Shihao's Red Card, China's Third Consecutive Victory in the Asian Cup Qualifiers!
"Beep!"

The referee finally took action.

Yellow Card: Kanu, Wei Shihao.

Although the Chinese team was the one who was fouled, Wei Shihao needs to pay some price for his behavior of insulting the referee.

"Tsk."

Wei Shihao chuckled, turned and walked away, his dissatisfaction with the referee written all over his face.

The Chinese fans in the stands were not polite to Tantashev either.

"referee!"

"Stupid!"

"referee!"

"Stupid!"

My brother Hao is getting anxious!

[We have to be in a hurry; the referee won't take out a card unless he yells at us a couple of times.]

[This Saudi number 23 should get out of China. Is this how you play football?]

[Their play was really dirty...]

Saudi Arabia played rather dirty, even worse than the UAE in the first round.

Chinese fans are very sensitive about this kind of thing.

It's not because they have bad tempers, but because the opponent's playing style will ultimately be objectively reflected in Tang Ye.

If Tang Ye falls to the ground less than 5 times throughout the match, then that's normal and acceptable.

If it's more than 5 times, it means Tang Ye was targeted on the field – that is, the opponent played dirty.

And today!
By the 60th minute, Tang Ye had already been knocked down 8 times!

"xuuu!!!"

"xuuu!!!"

Whenever a Saudi player touches the ball, boos erupt on the field.

On the bench, Eskeriva was also dissatisfied with the Saudi players, but because of his position as head coach, he couldn't directly curse like the fans.

boom!
Zhang Xizhe was taken down as soon as he came on.

Taking advantage of Saudi Arabia's foul, Tang Ye secretly ran over.

Snapped!
"Tang Ye!"

"China chooses to take a quick free kick!"

"Saudi Arabia seems a little caught off guard!"

It's not that I didn't seem to realize it; in fact, I just didn't realize it.

Abdullah turned his head.

Before his body could even move, Tang Ye's pass had already rushed past him.

Wu Lei has the ball!

Wow!!!

"Wu Lei! Wu Lei!"

"Pass him, pass him!"

"Eat it raw!"

Wu Lei dribbled the ball towards the edge of the penalty area and passed it to Wei Shihao on the left wing.

"Just attack!"

When Zhang Yuning shouted it out, Wei Shihao didn't hold back either.

Take a step to adjust the ball with your right foot.

Snapped!
A shot is on the line!

"Oh!"

The goalkeeper leaped out and punched the ball away.

"Wei Shihao's shot was quite beautiful, but the angle was a little off."

"Madu wanted to extricate himself from the predicament, but..."

"Oh! Zhang Yuning!"

Zhang Yuning blocked the defender's position in the penalty area and successfully got the ball.

Break down the door!

"The ball went in!!"

"The ball is in!"

"Beautiful! Zhang Yuning!"

"China's second goal!"

"2:0!"

Tang Ye rushed over from the backstage area.

I originally thought I would need to coordinate the passing from the back.

Now it seems unnecessary!

"what!!!"

Zhang Yuning spread her arms and ran out.

The moment he confirmed the shot had gone in, the Chinese striker's face turned red.

boom!
Slide your knees and tear it out.

stand up.

"Roar--!!!!"

Zhang Yuning's roar was accompanied by the screams of the fans in the stands.

"Brilliant!"

Wu Lei hugged Zhang Yuning, and Tang Ye and Zhang Xizhe followed behind.

"Wow!!"

Tang Ye clung directly to Zhang Yuning, raising one hand in excitement.

"..."

The score was 2-0.

Although Saudi Arabia made tactical adjustments quickly, judging from the score, the Chinese team still holds a clear advantage.

Eskeriva acted quickly, immediately making a tactical adjustment to the team after Zhang Yuning finished celebrating.

"Slow down!"

Escriva and Tang Ye emphasized: "Let's play more steadily from now on!"

"We're almost there."

"okok!"

Tang Ye gave a thumbs-up, then quickly clapped his hands, signaling the players to cheer up.

"20 minutes left!!"

"..."

76 minutes.

"Beep!!!"

"Penalty!"

"Haha, Saudi Arabia is really in trouble now!"

With the penalty opportunity at this moment, and the score at 2-0, the Saudi coach immediately squatted down in front of the substitutes' bench.

They're going to explode!

"Tang Ye..."

Holding the ball, Tang Ye spun around in mid-air before arriving at the penalty area. The lower left corner of the screen displayed his success rate in the last 10 penalty kicks.

The timeline is a bit long, even extending to last season's Bundesliga and Champions League.

Tang Ye

[Number of penalty kicks converted in the last 10 attempts: 9]

[Foul conversion rate: 90% (currently ranked 4th in the world)]

[Target accuracy: 100%]

"If I were the Saudi goalkeeper, I would be drenched in sweat by now."

"Ha ha!"

"Tang Ye... take a running start!"

"Break the door!"

"Goal!"

"Eh!"

"Oh!"

"They've pounced!"

"The goalkeeper guessed the direction of Tang Ye's penalty kick correctly!"

Roar! ! ! !

The Saudi goalkeeper clenched his fists, letting out an excited roar as his eyes turned completely red.

"I rely on..."

Now it was Tang Ye's turn to be embarrassed.

His teammate won a penalty, and he just wasted the opportunity!

"My mine!"

Tang Ye awkwardly raised his hand and shook his head.

"...Tang Ye missed a point, that's quite rare indeed..."

"As you can see, Saudi Arabia's momentum picked up significantly after China missed the penalty."

"But it's alright, the Chinese team still has a two-goal advantage!"

A two-goal lead is not so easy to equalize, so even if Saudi Arabia gains momentum, it won't have much effect. As long as the Chinese team doesn't make any mistakes in defense, they'll be fine.

"left!"

Tang Ye and Wu Xi combined, along with Jiang Guangtai, to double-team Xie Heli and successfully steal the ball.

Snapped!
Jiang Guangtai immediately pushed the ball to Tang Ye, who turned around and, when the ball came back to him, passed it to Tang Ye.

Zhang Yuning!
Snapped!
Zhang Yuning will make it and hand it over to Wei Shihao!
Wei Shihao received the ball and tried to get rid of Fahad.

Fahd, of course, wouldn't let Wei Shihao easily shake him off, and decisively pressed forward, showing no intention of giving him a chance.

boom!
The two people collided.

Wei Shih-hao is not the kind of person who will back down!

Fahd used both his hands and feet, even pressing one hand directly onto Wei Shihao's face.

Fuck you!

Wei Shihao slapped Fahd's hand away, and the two engaged in another round of physical confrontation.

Finally, Wei Shihao couldn't take it anymore and raised his knee to strike the Saudi striker's leg, then forcefully pushed back with both hands.

Fahd fell to the ground. "Oh, shit!"

Realizing something was wrong, Eskeriva covered his head with his hands.

I remember Wei Shihao already had a yellow card!
Tang Ye and Wu Xi rushed over to try and stop the referee, while Zhang Yuning went to pull Wei Shihao away.

Even though Fahad had already fallen to the ground, Wei Shihao still wanted to cause trouble for his opponent!

"Beep!"

Tantashev blew his whistle.

"Hey, listen to me, referee, it's not our fault!"

Tantashev pulled out a yellow card, put it in his pocket, and then took out a red card.

"That number 19 slapped our player in the face!"

Despite seeing the red card, Tang Ye continued to defend Wei Shihao.

Of course, he couldn't just stand by and watch his teammate get a red card.

He slapped me in the face first!

Tang Ye slapped his face, signaling to the referee to make sure he saw it clearly.

"You judged too hastily!"

Sheikh and Faraj pulled Tang Ye away, and soon Wang Shenchao clashed with Faraj again.

“Beep beep beep!!”

“xuuuu!”

"Referee is an idiot!"

"Referee is an idiot!"

"..."

"Wow, the atmosphere here is a bit tense..."

"Yes, the Chinese team cannot accept Wei Shihao's red card."

"We can watch the replay here..."

"Hey, it was definitely Fahd who slapped Wei Shihao in the face first!"

Wei Shihao was indeed retaliating, not instigating the conflict.

But he was a bit too impulsive.

Since he already had a yellow card, exchanging it with Fahad would be a very unwise choice!

No, look me in the eyes!

Tang Ye pointed two fingers at his eyeballs: "Are you sure you saw it clearly? Do you want to check the var? There's a var here!"

The referee ignored Tang Ye's words and told him that if he did not leave, he would consider showing him a yellow card.

"..."

Tang Ye shook his head.

Invincible.

"It's clearly their problem!" (in Chinese)

The Chinese players were exchanging words on the field, and Eskeriva was also talking to the fourth official: "He was slapped!"

However, Wei Shihao's red card is an unchangeable fact.

"Brother Hao!"

Tang Ye and Zhang Linpeng ran over and walked with Wei Shihao, who was preparing to leave the field.

Tang Ye hugged Wei Shihao's head: "It's okay, it's okay, it's their problem!"

"It's already 2-0, a sure win!"

"It's alright, Brother Hao!"

Pushing forward a little, Tang Ye ran back, his eyes now filled with hostility as he looked at Fahd.

"They must have done it on purpose."

Wu Lei whispered, looking in Fahad's direction: "That guy definitely did it on purpose; he's been targeting Shihao."

"..."

According to Wu Lei, Saudi Arabia had clearly studied the Chinese team's players.

The first target was Tang Ye.

The second target is Wei Shihao.

The attempt against Tang Ye was unsuccessful.

However, the handling of Wei Shihao was very successful.

Tang Ye glanced at the referee.

Without saying anything, he quickly turned his head away.

Walking up to Zhang Xizhe, Tang Ye whispered, "This referee is a real idiot, I'm speechless."

"..."

With Wei Shihao sent off with a red card, the pressure on the Chinese team increased significantly for the remainder of the game.

Tang Ye was undoubtedly under the most pressure.

[Mission Objective: Achieve three consecutive clean sheets in the upcoming matches]

Current progress: 2/3
The mission is just one step away from completion.

After playing Saudi Arabia, Tang Ye will face Japan next, and he urgently needs to improve his skills before playing against Japan.

Furthermore, if Tang Ye fails to complete the task today, he will have to start all over again, which is something he is unwilling to accept!
"Saudi Arabia is still going to attack down the flanks!"

"Well, Saudi Arabia's current position in the standings is rather awkward. Points are important, of course, but goal difference is equally important to them..."

"..."

"Yan Junling...beautiful!"

"Jiang Guangtai's rescue!"

"It's Jiang Guangtai again!"

Jiang Guangtai cleared the ball out of bounds, and the Chinese players on the field rushed over one by one, surrounding Jiang Guangtai and celebrating in a grand manner.

"Nice!!"

"Beep, beep beep—!!!!"

The whistle has finally blown...

Tang Ye, hands on his lower back, was panting heavily. Meanwhile, substitute Escriva threw a right uppercut: "Haha, beautiful!"

clap clap clap!
Snap, snap, snap, snap!

"Although the Chinese team was down to 10 men after Wei Shihao's red card, the remaining ten Chinese players performed really well!"

"2:0!"

With 10 players, yet a clean sheet, the Chinese team's performance in today's match can be described as absolutely perfect.

"Essen!"

It's unclear who shouted it first, but the players at Pudong Stadium gradually rallied together.

"Essen!"

Boom!

"Essen!"

Boom!

"Esaote! Essaote!"

Wow!!!

Clap clap clap!

Eskeriva frequently watches YouTube and has recently started using Bilibili in the last two months.

Of course he knew what the word "Essen" meant.

His face slowly turned red as Escriva clapped and walked onto the field, with Matti following behind him.

The players on the field, who had won three consecutive games, hadn't reacted much yet, but Eskeriva's eyes were already red.

"..."

Martí didn't rush to celebrate with the players; he simply observed Escriva's situation quietly.

After leaving Dortmund to win the Champions League, Eskriva has been controversial ever since, and has even been called "the clown who is jealous of Ten Hag" or "Ten Hag's sidekick" by some European fans.

These titles were a devastating blow to Eskeriva, who cared deeply about public opinion!

However, the outlook has now become brighter.

He found himself in the Chinese national team!

"Essen!"

"Boom!"

"King Tang!"

Boom!

"King Tang!"

Bang bang bang!
“Ole~~Ole Ole Oh~~~~”

Click, click, click!

Dongqiudi Match Report: Wei Shihao receives a red card, Tang Ye misses a penalty after a pass, and the ten-man Chinese national team shuts out Saudi Arabia 2-0, securing their third consecutive victory in the Asian Cup qualifiers! (357232 comments)

The match report mentioned Wei Shihao and Tang Ye, and these two players are certainly very important.

But the staff at Dongqiudi overlooked an equally important guy.

Jiang Guangtai!
Tang Ye's original rating was 8.4, but it plummeted to 7.5 after he missed the penalty kick. Coincidentally, this led to Jiang Guangtai winning the MVP award, making the Chinese national team defender the first Chinese player since 2017 to successfully snatch the MVP award from Tang Ye.

"I'm really excited because I feel like I proved my importance to the team in this game."

Jiang Guangtai held the MVP trophy, while Tang Ye, with a smile on his face, put his hand on his teammate's shoulder.

"Tang Ye, as the team captain, what score would you give Guang Tai for today?"

"100 points, haha! It's definitely 100 points today, no doubt about it."

Tang Ye squeezed Jiang Guangtai's shoulder hard: "Hmm... I think Guangtai played a very important role in today's game. If it weren't for his clearances, we probably wouldn't have been able to keep a 2-0 clean sheet. So... hmm, defense is still very important."

"Regarding the penalty you missed today... you could say that your missed penalty inadvertently led to your teammate's MVP award. Do you have anything to say about that?"

"I wasn't very happy about missing the penalty, but the result seems pretty good."

Tang Ye shrugged.

Besides him and Jiang Guangtai, many other players in the national football team were also interviewed by reporters.

Everyone is happy.

For Tang Ye, the three consecutive wins at the start of the Asian Cup qualifiers were certainly special.

"Well... I joined the national team in 2017. When I first joined the team, it was during the Asian Cup qualifiers, but at that time it seemed like... it seemed like we had already reached the 6th round. I can't remember exactly which round, but it was somewhere in the middle."

Tang Ye gestured, "Starting this year, we can fight from beginning to end."

"Wow!!!!"

……

The front page headline of Toutiao (a Chinese news aggregator) is: "The Pudong Miracle! The ten-man Chinese national football team defeated Saudi Arabia 2-0, achieving a record of three consecutive wins in the Asian Cup qualifiers for the first time in the history of the team. The Spanish coach shed tears on the field."
