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

Chapter 773 A hat trick at Tianhe Sports Center, a sure-fire happiness

[Essen is completely ignoring Ten Hag.]

Why bother with Ten Hag? The national team is the national team, and the club is the club; these should be kept separate.

[Support Aisheng. Switching to Tang Ye at this point is too unstable. Quickly practice the 4-4-2 formation again.]

[That's a bit of a stretch. Things should be fine now. The main thing is the Champions League knockout stage next year. Let Tang Ye rest a bit before the Champions League knockout stage starts.]

[Forget about the Champions League knockout stage, we're already preparing to go to Qatar once the Champions League knockout stage begins.]

Wang Shenchao received a pass from Zhang Yuning at the far post on the left flank.

Prepare to send it back to Wu Xi.

At this moment, Zaabi suddenly moved closer and stopped Wang Shenchao from passing the ball to Wu Xi.

Left with no other option, Wang Shenchao had to dribble past his opponent himself.

Wow!!!

The fans at the scene were in high spirits, and in this atmosphere, Wang Shenchao made a very radical choice.

Snapped!
The message was relayed out.

The far post of the penalty area!

boom!
Jiang Guangtai and Abbas collided.

Neither of the two players who jumped could reach the ball.

The ball is about to go out of bounds!
Just then, Tang Ye suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Less than half a meter from the right post, Tang Ye took a run-up and jumped to head the ball.

The ball went in!
"Tang Ye!!"

"hat trick!!"

"Tang Ye's hat trick!!!"

Watch the replay as soon as possible.

Tang Ye rushed up after Wang Shenchao passed the ball, so there was no possibility of him being offside.

4: 1!

This was China's fourth goal in the match.

In addition, he also scored Tang Ye's hat trick!

"Tang Ye! Tang Ye! Tang Ye!"

Once below the stands, Tang Ye randomly picked a photographer, and the staff promptly pointed the camera at him.

Tang Ye extended his index finger, middle finger, and finally his ring finger in front of the camera.

The three fingers represent Tang Ye's goal tally in this match.

"..."

"If that's the case, then the Chinese team should have a very good chance of winning this game."

"..."

"Beep, beep beep—!!!"

"The match is over! This is the fifth victory for the Chinese team in the final 12 of this Asian Games!"

With victories in both Asian Cup qualifiers in November, and a win against the UAE securing their fifth win, the Chinese team's performance this month can be described as near perfect.

For Chinese fans who are always caught in a cycle of hope, frustration, and despair, this mental journey of hope, excitement, and "Wow, awesome!" is truly unfamiliar.

The most impressive player was Tang Ye, who scored in 5 out of 6 matches, and even in the only match where he didn't score, he still managed to get an assist.

grandma's.

When will GGBond finally lose a game?!
They were playing so steadily that some fans in the stands started singing.

"I want a stable and lasting happiness~"

"Able to withstand the cruelty of the apocalypse~"

"To have a place to belong in the restless night~~"

"I want a stable happiness that can withstand the cruelty of the apocalypse."

"In the restless night, I wish I could have a place to belong..."

"Tang Ye!"

"Tang Ye!"

As the atmosphere grew increasingly agitated, the Chinese players rushed towards Tang Ye, and in a few quick movements, they lifted him up, ignoring his resistance.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

"Roar--!!!"

Beep beep beep! ! !

The emotions between the fans and the players influenced each other. After Tang Ye was thrown into the air by his teammates, the fans in the stands finally couldn't hold back and tumbled down one after another.

There were many security guards sitting on the runway.

But it's no use.

Because they are all college students working part-time.

College students lack the ability to defend themselves.

"Don't do this! You can't go in!"

"You can't go in!"

As more and more people arrived, the poor college student security guards were at a loss for what to do.

"Stop stopping me!"

A rough voice came from behind, and the person who shouted must be the legendary head of security.

"Young man, don't try to stop them if there are too many people!"

Upon hearing this, the college student security guard stood still for a moment, his mind racing as he pondered.

After thinking it over, he threw off his hat and turned to run towards where the Chinese team players were.

Wow!!!

"Awesome! Awesome!!"

"Ha ha!"

With his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face, Eskeriva was enjoying the joy of victory.

However, what he didn't expect was that the fans who couldn't squeeze into the center of the stadium from the upper stands chose to abandon the national team players and run straight towards Escriva.

"Essen!"

"Essen!"

"..."

Eskeriva's smile slowly faded, replaced by a gradually furrowing brow.

He looked at Marty beside him and asked, "What are they trying to do?"

“...You should know what they want to do, Ferran.”

"This one……"

Before Eskeriva could finish speaking, Matti offered his advice: "We can actually start running now."

"...No rush."

Eskeriva shook his head: "Running straight away wouldn't be a good idea."

"Just say you want to celebrate."

Marty shrugged: "I'm off."

"do not do that!"

Escriva reached out to stop Matti, but the Chinese national team assistant coach had already run away.

hiss!
"I don't really want to celebrate! Marty, stop it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several Chinese football fans shouting "Escudiva" surrounded him and pulled him up from the ground.

Throw it into the air!
"what!!"

After recovering from his initial shock, Escriva's expression gradually became agitated, and after a few seconds he clenched his right hand tightly.

"Wow!!!!"

"CHINA!!"

Dongqiudi Match Report: Wu Lei scores to secure a comeback victory; Tang Ye's superb hat-trick in Guangzhou avenges Saleh's defeat; China beats UAE 4-1, successfully reversing the deficit against Japan. (392711 comments)

热议：6轮5胜16分，国足剩下4轮仅需再赢2场便可获得世界杯直通门票。

2022 Qatar World Cup Asian Qualifiers Final Round Group B Standings (as of Round 6):

1. China, 16 points.

2. Japan, 14 points.

3. Oman, 7 points.

4. Saudi Arabia, 6 points.

5. UAE, 3 points. 6. Vietnam, 3 points.

With 16 points, China is a full 9 points behind Oman, who is in third place in the intercontinental play-off zone. When Chinese football fans first saw this standings, they definitely had to rub their eyes with their phones.

In hindsight, the Chinese national football team's current advantage is simply outrageous.

What does it mean to be 9 points behind the third place?

The concept is that if Oman loses in the 7th round, the Chinese team only needs a draw to directly qualify for the World Cup finals.

This is the ideal scenario, where the Chinese team directly secures a spot in the World Cup in the 7th round.

If this scenario is too idealistic, and the powerful Chinese team shouldn't have to judge their fate through Oman, then they have another, slightly more "low-key" path.

That means no matter what Oman's results are, if China wins two more games in a row, it will destroy everything!
"Winning two consecutive games is still quite difficult. The upcoming matches are scattered, and we won't be able to start our seventh round of matches until January next year."

During the interview, Escriva shook his head from time to time.

This is a technique used when singing, which involves using movements to relax oneself.

"Your opponent in the 7th round is Vietnam. For the current Chinese team, it is not difficult to deal with Vietnam."

"Ha ha!"

The reporter's compliment made Eskeriva laugh: "It seems so at the moment. Our current focus is on maintaining this form until January next year, only in this way can we ensure that we defeat Vietnam in January."

"As for Oman, which you just mentioned, I will not comment on other national teams in the same group."

Eskreva shares the view of some Chinese football fans that the Chinese team does not need Oman's help.

Regardless of whether Oman wins or not, the Chinese team just needs to focus on doing their best.

Click, click, click!

“Ferran, we have also seen that since you officially joined the Chinese national team last July, you have maintained excellent form. From 4-2-3-1 to 4-4-2, we have won 5 out of the 6 matches so far.”

"Yes."

Eskeriva nodded, but the reporters had not yet begun to ask questions.

"When you left Dortmund to join the Chinese national team, you received a lot of criticism from fans in China and other countries."

"Hmm...it seems I was right."

Eskeriva spread his hands and grinned: "As I said before, I think it's more suitable for me to coach the Chinese national team because I know this team well enough."

"The fans' opinions before... to be honest, those opinions made me sad."

As he spoke, Escriva couldn't help but recall the negative comments he had seen on Twitter and Instagram.

[Eskeriva will ruin the Chinese team!]

[If it's just because TY is going to coach another team, then Ferran definitely can't do anything!]

[Idiot!]

He won't feel a sense of belonging in the Chinese team; China and Spain are very different.

Actually, we don't need to say anything; Chinese fans will curse him to death. He's incompetent.

"Hmm... so now it seems, phew..."

As he spoke, Eskeriva's eyes welled up with tears, making the reporter a little nervous.

"Um... sir."

The tissue was handed over, but Escriva simply grabbed it without wiping his eyes.

He didn't feel that he needed to wipe away tears.

"In retrospect, I think I did the right thing back then. They said a lot of things wrong."

"When I first came here, I actually thought a lot about whether the team's performance would be as good as Lippi's. You know, Lippi was the previous head coach of the Chinese team, so I was under a lot of pressure."

"Another factor is the fans' opinion."

Eskreva didn't say it outright, but many reporters and fans understood.

The Spaniard is a coach who cares a lot about what the fans think.

"At first I thought Chinese fans wouldn't support me; they would think I was a coach who won by doing nothing."

"But seeing what I've said now... phew."

Well, Escriva finally couldn't hold back. He put the tissue in his hand over his right eye, his mind filled with the image of being tossed up in celebration by Chinese fans after the match.

"Phew... I've received unimaginable support."

"For that reason alone, I will never think that what I did was wrong."

Eskeriva took a breath and looked at the reporter: "I did the right thing."

"Yes, we've seen that you've indeed put in a lot of effort, and the 4-4-2 formation is one of them."

"This is simply my duty."

Eskeriva responded quickly: "I have received the best support here, so of course I need to give it my all."

"The Chinese team has one of the largest fan bases in the world, and I believe that this is our guarantee for qualifying for the World Cup."

Click!

Click, click, click!

……

"Essen, awesome!"

"Essen!"

As I walked out of the stadium, I could hear Chinese fans chanting my name.

Hello everyone!

Hello everyone!

Eskeriva raised his right hand and replied in his not-so-fluent Chinese.

Although his pronunciation wasn't perfect, his voice was definitely loud.

"……Ugh."

Marty shook his head slowly beside him, looking somewhat helpless.

But to be honest, for Eskeriva, his choice was clearly the right one.

Higher salaries, lower workload, and more fan support and even idol worship.

This last point is of utmost importance to Eskeriva.

From the current perspective, Ferran has indeed achieved success with the Chinese national team.

Well... strictly speaking, it shouldn't be considered as achieving self-fulfillment.

There is self-satisfaction, as can be seen from Escriva's current mood.

But if you want to reach that level of self-achievement.

All I can say is that the Asian qualifiers were insufficient.

Ferran needs an Asian Cup or a World Cup; that would be the most important opportunity of his life.

Why didn't you wave to them!

"Ok?"

Marty paused for a moment, then realized that Eskeriva was staring at him: "They called your name, why didn't you greet them?"

"Oh, sorry!"

Marty realized what was happening and quickly raised his right hand: "Hello! Hello!"

"You're welcome!"

……

The front page headline of the China Football News reads: "Dream Team of 12! If China defeats Vietnam in January, it could become the first team in the world to qualify for the Qatar World Cup finals."

Interview with Eskeriva: The Chinese team has one of the largest fan bases in the world.

Interview with Tang Ye: The conflict with Ronaldo isn't serious, 100% sure. Ronaldo and Ten Hag's relationship will gradually improve. I don't know if I'll win this year's Ballon d'Or.

That evening, Tang Ye returned to his room.

I checked my phone; the celebration banquet was starting in half an hour.

Tang Ye didn't rush to take a shower, but instead lay down on the bed to rest.
