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

Chapter 819 I want to talk to you about Ronaldo
Eskeriva later posted: I drank a lot of alcohol before the group stage draw and was still drunk when I was interviewed, so I may have said some bad things. I want to make it clear that what I said was not my true intention, and my hatred for Ten Hag is not as great as you imagine.

He was drunk!

Well, thankfully Ethan explained, otherwise the fans would have really thought he was going to punch Ten Hag!
Since it was said unintentionally while drunk, it can actually be forgiven.

It's all just a joke!
Don't take it seriously!
However, the fans and reporters were disgusting. Knowing that Eden was drunk and said the wrong thing, they still tried to make this news popular. It was absolutely despicable!
Ten Hach was soon asked this question.

"Ferland says he wants to have dinner with you so he can punch you in the head after he orders."

"..."

Ten Hach remained expressionless.

A normal person would smile and brush it off, since everyone knows Eskreva was just joking.

But Ten Hach is not a normal person at all; he never wants to suffer a loss.

The Dutch particularly resented the loss of momentum.

"ok, no problem."

After thinking it over, Ten Hach shrugged: "Then let him come over."

"My view is that the person who complains first is not necessarily innocent. He just filed a complaint first, which does not mean that he is a so-called 'good person'."

“I’m the one being accused, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I’m a bad person. I’ve seen the interview video too. You only have one source of information about the whole thing, and that’s Eskeriva’s account. Since it’s an oral account, there’s bound to be errors. I’m very disappointed that you’re judging me based on someone else’s one-sided story.”

Ten Hach gave a long explanation, but the reporter paid no attention to it; what he cared about was the "dinner" Eskeriva mentioned.

"Ferland says he's very confident he can pin you down on the table and beat you up. Do you think that's possible? Perhaps I can recommend a good restaurant with very good quality tables that should meet your needs."

"Well..."

"I just rarely respond to related matters, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid."

"As I just said, I wouldn't refuse if we really wanted to have dinner together. But you have to understand, the one who issues the challenge first isn't always the winner. I don't think Ferran is necessarily my match."

"Of course, my integrity is guaranteed. If I pin Escriva to the table, I will not take any further action."

The great Manchester United manager Eric is simply unwilling to back down.

However, compared to Eskriva's statement, Ten Hag is clearly more humane—if Ten Hag had the upper hand in the fight, he wouldn't have killed Eskriva, even if Eskriva initiated the challenge.

Sky Sports interview with Ten Hag: I'm not afraid of Eskreva's invitation, but he needs to be prepared to be beaten by me.

"Hey, Eric! There's no need for this!"

Ten Hag had just come out of the press room when Van der Gach rushed over, expressing his concern for the Dutch coach: "What if he actually invites you after you say that? You'll be in an awkward position. Do you really want to fight with Ferran?"

"We are football coaches, not fighting coaches!"

"Ha ha!"

Van der Gach's concerns amused Ten Hag: "It would be funny if you took this seriously, haha! Don't worry, even the caddies know it's a joke."

"……All right."

Van der Gach sighed.

I was definitely too excited just now.

He should have thought about it further; he never expected the topic to be a joke.

"And don't you think he really went too far?"

Ten Hag and Eskrima walked towards the locker room: "He actually said that it was my fault that China didn't get a second-tier team, fuck, that's completely defaming my reputation. If he were still coaching a club in one of the top five leagues, I would have spoken to him face to face. This is absolutely wrong..."

He had originally intended to criticize Eskriva together with Van der Gach, but then he ran into Tang Ye walking by around the corner, and Ten Hach quickly stopped.

"Tom? Why did you come from the restroom? Did you forget you had an interview?"

"Oh, I'm done. I just went to wash my face."

"Okay, you don't seem very happy? We won our first game in April, you should be happy."

"Not really."

Tang Ye shrugged: "Those reporters asked me what I thought of the World Cup group stage draw. Seriously, what could I say? Could I say I think this group stage draw is absolutely awful?"

"Ha ha!"

Van der Gach walked forward and gave Tang Ye a "shoulder massage": "Relax, the World Cup is six months away, don't think too much about it."

"Ugh."

Tang Ye shook his head.

He was at his wit's end: "I guarantee, Michelle, there will definitely be other people asking me this question later."

"Didn't you already reply?"

"Yes, that's exactly it. That's how those reporters are. Even though I've said it once, they keep asking!"

Tang Ye raised his hand, mimicking the reporter's tone.

"TY, you've drawn Germany again for the World Cup, and Argentina too. Are you prepared to be shut out by Messi? Hmm, also, Germany isn't weak this year. What will you do if they come after you for revenge? TY, as the captain of the Chinese team, do you have any solutions?"

"Ha ha!"

Van der Gach punched Tang Ye: "Okay, you really know a lot. Why don't you record a reply with a voice recorder? When they ask this question, just take out the voice recorder."

"I think this would be great."

……

Ceramic sports field.

The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals: Villarreal vs. Manchester United.

Snapped!
"My God, Rashford, beautiful!"

Rashford suddenly surged forward on the left flank, received a pass from Rodri, and unleashed a powerful shot, a world-class strike that opened the scoring for the opponent.

"Roar!!!"

After scoring, Rashford looked furious and grabbed Tang Ye, who was closest to him, in preparation for celebration, but Tang Ye pushed him away.

Ok?
"Oh, haha!"

Remembering that Tang Ye had played for Villarreal and couldn't celebrate, Rashford was the last one to run out.

Slide on your knees!

Swish swish! ! !
Rashford's signature celebration move is pressing his right index finger against his temple.

"Marcus Rashford!"

"Yes, after a slump last season, Rashford has finally found himself again!"

"Yes, that's right. In the last half of the season, in the league and the Champions League, including the Euro qualifiers you mentioned, Rashford has been flawless. He's completely back to the level he was at in the 19-20 season."

Rashford has a bit of a system player quality. However, this system doesn't refer to the tactical system, but rather the overall atmosphere of the team.

Rashford needs to play in a good team environment; his team must be a strong team in one of the top five leagues and maintain a good record. For Rashford, this winning environment is the system.

You have to keep winning before Rashford will step up his game!

What if you keep playing poorly, or even lose?

There's nothing that can be done then. Rashford can only choose to disappear, because he doesn't play Teamfight Tactics or use the Golden Spatula. Losing streaks are not good for this Manchester United striker.

"..."

"Dembele, hmm, let's find Tang Ye."

"This is a very safe choice."

"Come on up from the back!"

Snapped!
"World wave!"

"Tang Ye's world-class goal!!!"

"Wow!!!!"

With a powerful outside-of-the-foot shot, Tang Ye successfully opened up Villarreal's defense from Asenjo's position, and the goal was so spectacular that some of the home fans screamed.

Tang Ye also wanted to go out and celebrate, but fortunately he suppressed his thoughts immediately.

In the footage, Tang Ye tilts his head and makes a gesture of pressing his hands down, refusing the Manchester United fans' request to celebrate with him.

Manchester United took a two-goal lead in less than 20 minutes, which is indeed a match with a significant gap in strength in the Champions League knockout stage.

But as former EFL Cup champions, Villarreal were not there for a sightseeing tour of the Champions League. Trailing 0-2, Emery organized his players to launch a counter-attack, and Aurier quickly opened the scoring for Manchester United.

"GGGG-OOOO-LLLLL!!!!"

The score is now 1-2!

What's going on with Wu Lei? Emery can't even beat him!

[6666, if Wu Lei isn't playing soon, I'm going to start yelling! Aren't they giving the national team's best midfielder and best striker a chance to go head-to-head?]

Forget Wu Lei, get Ten Hag on Ronaldo's roster first. Why is he on the bench again? He's played three games since April, and Ronaldo has only started one. Ronaldo fans are fed up! Ten Hag is despicable!

[Essen said he was going to punch Ten Hach. Who's going to organize a dinner for the two of them? Honestly, I don't think Essen is joking. If he's really been drinking, I'll buy GGBond stock right now and do charity.]

[It's PPPBond, Bubble Bond! Please don't use PPPBond as a bet every time something happens, okay? You might as well buy Chinese sports lottery tickets for charity; all the money you put into stocks goes to the UK.]

[Stop talking, Ronaldo should just leave the team already, Ten Hag is a real jerk.]

Time quickly came to the second half.

"Tom!"

"Tom!"

"Tom!"

The sound of fans chanting Tang Ye's name could be heard on the ceramic stadium.

The voices mostly came from Villarreal fans.

The Villarreal fans were very observant; they chanted "Tom," not "TY." Tom!

Do you remember the 16-17 season?
The 16-17 season!

You had a great time on the submarine!

"Don't score!"

"Tom! We're Villarreal, don't score!"

"..."

"Tang Ye... take the free kick directly!"

"Pretty!"

"Two goals!"

"Tang Ye's free kick went directly into the goal!"

"Emery still hasn't solved the team's free-kick defense problem!"

It's a very, very bad thing that your set-piece defense still has gaps when the opponent is Manchester United.

Because Manchester United will exploit this weakness and teach you a lesson!

"Beep beep beep!!!"

During the fake refereeing incident, Tang Ye went down to the stands. He first pressed his hands down, then clasped his hands together, bowed his head, and apologized to the Villarreal fans in the stands.

To be honest, Tang Ye was also incredibly amazing today.

Apologize after scoring a goal, then score another goal after apologizing, and then apologize again.

The ceramic court seems to possess a magical power, trapping masters in a cycle they are unaware of.

"Tom, please don't come in! We're a submarine!"

"Yellow Submarine! (Yellow Submarine)"

In the town where I was born, lived a man who sailed to sea!

Remember the Yellow submarine? And all our friends live aboard!

"..."

Tang Ye was no longer able to speak.

I'm just a small player.

Don't use the Memory Blade to kill me!

It's too sharp!

In the 70th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo finally got his chance to play.

The Portuguese player was quite pitiful, his eyes dulled by Ten Hag's torment, to the point that many Manchester United fans were starting to worry about Ronaldo's performance in this match.

Ugh.

Regardless, hopefully Ronaldo can get through these last three months.

I think it's not a good idea for Ronaldo to come back to United!

The English commentator sighed.

79th minute!

Cristiano Ronaldo accelerates forward and receives a pass from his teammate.

He was about to dribble forward himself, but Ronaldo seemed to be having some issues. He stepped directly on the ball and fell to the ground the next second.

"Oh!"

"xuuu!!!"

Cristiano Ronaldo lay on the ground, pounding the earth in pain.

Luke Shaw quickly ran up and kicked the ball to Dembele on the right.

Dembele dribbled the ball, first moving towards the wing, then cut inside and turned, beginning to pressure Villarreal's defense.

Hey!

With a shout, Dembele passes the ball.

A very precise short, low pass from Dembele to Tang Ye.

Snapped!
The ball went in!
"The ball is in!"

"Tang Ye!"

"Pretty!"

"hat trick!"

"Tang Ye's hat trick!"

"Haha, 4-1!"

Manchester United have extended their lead once again!

A hat trick, but still no way to celebrate.

It's a bit of a shame, because no one expected that Tang Ye's first Champions League knockout hat-trick of the season would come against Villarreal.

This is like a sharp knife slashing into the heart for Villarreal fans.

Isn't the same true for Tang Ye?
The camera pans to the stands.

Trailing by 3 goals, Villarreal fans did not choose to leave early, but stayed, their eyes following Tang Ye as he slowly walked across the field.

It's definitely tough to concede three goals.

But Tang Ye rarely plays at the Ceramic Stadium, so we still need to watch him play as many times as we can.

Villarreal fans felt extremely ashamed of their inner thoughts.

Why am I so pathetic?!

hateful!

"..."

Dongqiudi Match Report: Manchester United lead Villarreal 4-1 away from home. Rashford scored a stunning long-range goal, Tang Ye scored a hat-trick against his former club, and Ronaldo, once again coming off the bench, had a mediocre performance. (502920 comments)

“I also wanted to play, but he (referring to Emery) didn’t give me the chance.”

In the players' tunnel, Wu Lei and Tang Ye were chatting.

"What a pity, Lei-ge, but you should have a chance in the second leg, right? Their striker is injured."

"But even if we could play, we still lost."

Wu Lei exclaimed helplessly, "It has to be you, damn it, you're really fierce."

"Haha, thank you."

"But actually I don't want to score so many goals, but I can't help it, I can't think about that during the game."

Unconsciously, Tang Ye arrived at the door of Huang Qian's changing room. He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should go in.

At this moment, Wu Lei suddenly said goodbye, so Tang Ye simply gave up the idea of ​​entering the locker room.

Touching the mud off his jersey, Tang Ye headed towards the restroom.

Tang Ye took a step forward and then stepped back, and saw Cristiano Ronaldo in the toilet.

The Portuguese man turned completely red, especially around his eyes, which were horribly red.

It looks like he just had a good cry, but because he washed his face, it's impossible to tell the difference between water and tears.

"Ronaldo..."

Tang Ye took a deep breath and walked over: "Cristiano."

Cristiano Ronaldo noticed Tang Ye through the reflection in the sink mirror.

He raised his right hand to rub his eyes, then practically "ran" into the bathroom: "Do you need something? Wait, I need to use the restroom."

"..."

Tang Ye stood still.

……

On April 10th, there was not much time left before Manchester United's home game against Villarreal.

Based on online predictions and objective analysis, Manchester United will most likely easily defeat Villarreal at home and advance to the Champions League semi-finals this season.

There's no other reason than that it's strong!
However, before the start of preparations for the second round, Tang Ye had one more thing to do.

dong dong!

"Tom? Oh, no need to knock, just come in."

Tang Ye walked into Ten Hach's office.

"What's wrong?"

Ten Hah put down what he was doing and gestured for Tang Ye to sit on the sofa or the office chair opposite him.

"Um, Eric."

Tang Ye sat down in the chair and took a deep breath: "I want to talk to you about Ronaldo."
