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

Chapter 85: In the crucial month of April, the real scoundrels in Utrecht surfaced? (asking for monthly tickets)

On April 4, in the 2th round of the Eredivisie, Utrecht played away against Almelo Hercules.

"The game is in the 30th minute and it's already 10pm Dutch time. Let's see how Ten Hag handles it."

"Ten Hag! Ten Hag did not choose to make a substitution!"

"There's not a single player warming up on the Utrecht bench!"

Ten Hag did not replace Tang Ye within the stipulated time, and the home team fans in the stands booed Ten Hag.

In the camera, Ten Hag was frowning, with very obvious forehead wrinkles.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to make a substitution, but the score is still 1:1, and Ten Hag doesn’t dare to take Tang Ye off the field at this time.

"Go forward, go forward!"

Ten Hahe kept shouting.

By the 62nd minute of the second half, the score was still 1:1 and Ten Hag still hadn't made it past anyone.

At this time, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

"Huh? Ten Hahe received a call?"

"What the hell, what's going on? The game is still going on and Ten Hag is on the phone!"

Ten Haage looked a little nervous. This was a call from his boss Verhof.

According to the assessment of Utrecht's lawyers, if Tang Ye leaves the field now, the club will have to pay a fine of 4.5 euros.

If Tang Ye is still on the field after 75 minutes, his total overtime time will reach one and a half hours.

This is Ten Hag's third violation this season and the club will pay a fine of at least 7 euros!
"Depend on!"

Ten Hag held his head with both hands and signaled to the fourth official to replace Tang Ye from the field.

"Am I getting off now?"

Looking at the number 99 on the sign, Tang Ye pointed at his nose.

According to Tang Ye's self-judgment, he should have played well in this game.

As a result, Ten Hag made a direct substitution!
"Mr. Eric, this doesn't make sense, does it?"

Tang Ye high-fived Amrabat. Instead of going directly to the bench, he asked Ten Hag.

He spent 5 counterattack points to buy a bottle of Vardy's Red Bull the moment the game started, but now he was kicked off the field without even getting a single counterattack point as a reward.

Isn't this a pure loss?

Ten Hahe shook his head without saying anything, and let Tang Ye sit back in his chair first.

"..."

Tang Ye walked back to his seat on the bench with a sullen face.

Sitting in front was assistant coach Van der Jag, so Tang Ye asked, "Why did you replace me..."

Vandergaard turned his head and looked at Tang Ye with a smile: "Because of money"

With 15 minutes left, if Tang Ye continued to stay on the field, he might not be able to bring new goals to the team.

But it will definitely bring more fines to the team!

At the end of the game, Utrecht drew 1:1 with Almelo Hercules, and Ten Hag attended the press conference of this game.

"Eric, you replaced Tang in the 73rd minute of the game. According to our understanding, this should be to avoid the fine."

“I have a question here”

The reporter paused, then looked Ten Hag in the eyes.

"When Tang was on the court, Utrecht played an effective attack every 7 minutes on average. After he left the court, the time for an effective attack became 15 minutes, which is more than doubled..."

The reporter hasn't finished speaking yet, but Ten Hag's expression already looks a little strange.

"Mr. Eric, according to the statistics of the Utrecht Evening News reporter, Utrecht's winning rate is closely related to whether Tang starts. But Mr. Eric, you said in the previous interview that Tang is not a key player of Utrecht. Can you please give some answers to this question?"

The reporter pointed the finger at Ten Hag, whose entire face was flushed.

This is the first time the Dutchman has been humiliated at a press conference since joining Utrecht!

"Feel sorry"

Ten Hag apologized softly, then stood up and left the press conference.

……

Ten Hag and Hong Wen leave the press conference

"The real scoundrel surfaced? Ten Hag was unable to answer reporters' questions! "

"Tang Ye or Ten Hag, who is the real idiot in Utrecht?"

As the king of press conferences, Ten Hag's failure immediately attracted the attention of fans.

Now there is a common question in the minds of reporters and fans.

That is whether Ten Hag is a truly capable coach.

Or is he just a jerk?
[I said that Ten Hag can do nothing except deal with reporters]

[Sure enough, I have said it before, as long as Tang Ye leaves the court, Utrecht's offense will be paralyzed. Alai is a traditional center forward, he can't dribble]

[The fake one who knows football: Eric ten Hag; the real one who knows football: the fans! ]

[Ten Hag's only contribution to Utrecht this season was to bring Tang Ye from the second team to the first team]

[Hahaha, shit, seriously, I just realized that Utrecht didn't win many games in which Tang Ye didn't play or was substituted early. It's incredible, Ten Hag is really incredible]

Because of his exploitation of Tang Ye, Ten Hag's reputation in China has already been bad. This time, he was humiliated in the locker room and was directly brought up by the fans.

As for Dutch fans, since Ten Hag is a native Dutchman and an old player of Utrecht in the last century, Dutch fans tend to trust Ten Hag.

But now... A netizen posted a video on Youtube, which analyzed in detail Ten Hag's performance in all Utrecht games this season.

The first and most important thing is that in October last year and February this year, the Dutchman won the official Eredivisie coach of the month trophy in these two months.

Utrecht analyzed the substitutions and on-the-spot commands made by Ten Hag in some key matches.

The outrageous thing is that October and February, when he won the Player of the Month trophy, were exactly the times when Ten Hag was most negative in making substitutions and tactical adjustments.

So why did Ten Hag win the best trophy in these two months?

Because damn Tang Ye has been present in every game during these two months!
……

On the third day after the match with Almelo Hercules, that is, on the afternoon of April 4, a piece of news caught the attention of local Dutch fans.

The Utrecht Advance Newspaper's front page headline: Ten Hag received a warning from the Montford police for violating the work law provisions of the Youth Protection Act three times in a short period of time. "If this continues, fines will not solve all problems."

A fine will not solve all problems, which means Ten Hag may be detained by Utrecht police.

Police detention?

Head coach of an Eredivisie team?

After seeing this news, not only Utrecht fans, but other fans who were just watching the game were also stunned.

It sounds a bit outrageous, but if you think about it carefully, Ten Hag's behavior of letting Tang Ye play after 10 o'clock in the evening is indeed against the law.

The youth protection laws in the Netherlands are just as strict as those in Germany. A lawyer fan on the Internet gave his opinion.

Regardless of whether Tang Ye is a professional player or not, Ten Hag's decision to let him play after 10 p.m. is a serious violation of the law. In the eyes of some lawyers, the Dutchman's behavior is no different from employing child labor.

If youth protection laws are continually violated, those involved will indeed be arrested!

"why is that!"

In the office on the second floor of the Utrecht base, Ten Hag took a document and slammed it on the table.

"Hey, Eric, calm down!"

Vandergaard stood up from the sofa.

"No, I can't calm down now!" Ten Hah leaned back in his office chair and held the back of his head with his hands.

The local youth protection organization wrote him two warning letters, stating that Ten Hahe might be detained, but Ten Hahe felt that this was unreasonable, so he ignored it.

However, just now he received a reminder from the Montford police, and Ten Hahe realized that something was wrong.

Everything those bastards in the conservation group say is true!

"It's okay, Eric, it's okay!"

Van der Gahe pushed a chair and sat down in front of Ten Hag: "Someone from the club is already handling this matter, and the Football Association will also help us. There is no need to be nervous. This matter is unreasonable in the first place, and we don't need to worry!"

After Van der Gag said this, Ten Hag's expression relaxed a lot.

Ten Hag now needs to trust the club and the Football Association.

They will help themselves!

……

Utrecht's coaching staff is under a lot of pressure now, but Tang Ye, the person involved, is conducting his training with a relaxed look on his face.

Tang Ye (38 years old)
[Ball possession: 72; Passing: 78]

[Shots: 69; Headers: 41; Set-pieces: 70]

[Speed: 63; Endurance: 67; Physical Confrontation: 68]

[Defense: 64; Vision: 93]

Overall Rating: 74
After [Long Corner Shot] was upgraded to level 3, Tang Ye's shooting attribute directly reached 69 points, only one step away from the 70 mark.

Considering Tang Ye's various attributes, his current shooting ability is actually quite good, second only to the set-piece ability value of 70!

In terms of the comprehensive score, with a comprehensive score of 74, based on Tang Ye's experience in playing FIFA, his current score should be at the level of a mid-level player in the Eredivisie!
After training that afternoon, Tang Ye received a call from his agent, Boll.

Staff from La Liga's Sevilla and Bundesliga's Frankfurt wanted to talk to Tang Ye about the transfer.

“Tang, I told you, I will take you to the top five leagues!”

Paul said excitedly.

To be honest, when he signed the contract with Tang Ye, Boll had a hunch that Tang Ye would be able to enter the top five leagues in the future.

I thought it would be 3-5 years, but it turned out to be only half a year.

Only half a year has passed since the contract was signed, and already teams from the five major leagues want to talk to Tang Ye about a transfer!

"The five major leagues..."

Tang Ye held the phone and whispered, "So, Boll, can I play in the top five leagues next season?"

Neither Sevilla nor Frankfurt are top teams, but they are still teams from the top five leagues and are definitely much stronger than Utrecht.

If Tang Ye could join one of these two teams, it would definitely be of great help to his career.

"You can say that, but..."

Bolton paused for a moment and told Tang Ye some not-so-good news.

There is no penalty clause in Tang Ye’s new contract with Utrecht, which means that if Tang Ye wants to transfer, Utrecht must agree.

Simply put, it depends on whether the offers from Sevilla and Frankfurt can satisfy Utrecht.

call……

Tang Ye sighed and took a quick look at his upcoming schedule.

April is a critical month for Utrecht, so Tang Ye declined the dinner invitations from Sevilla and Frankfurt staff.

Tang Ye told Boll that he was willing to go to the top five leagues if Sevilla or Frankfurt could reach a transfer consensus with Utrecht.

"What about weekly salary? What is your expected weekly salary?"

"Just help me talk."

Tang Ye said indifferently.

It’s not that Tang Ye doesn’t care about his weekly salary, but he knows that Boll will definitely try his best regarding matters related to his weekly salary, so Tang Ye doesn’t need to worry about this.

The more Tang Ye's weekly salary is, the more compensation Boll, his agent, can get!
"What about preferences?"

Boll asked another question: "Sevilla and Frankfurt, which one do you prefer?"

"This……"

"Let's talk about it then"

Tang Ye did not give a reply: "It's only April now, the transfer has not been finalized yet."

……

On April 4, the match between Utrecht and Nijmegen kicked off at the Galgenwaard Stadium.

The game was played at noon, and in the absence of any risk of breaking the law, Ten Hag naturally had to put Tang Ye in the starting lineup.

With three hours left before the game started, Ten Hag was being interviewed by reporters in the press room.

"Eric, you have been questioned by fans recently. Some fans think that you have not shown the coaching level that you should have as the best coach of the month."

The reporter put the microphone to Ten Hag's mouth: "Will you respond to this?"

“This is all fake, this can’t be true”

After a few days of thinking, Ten Hag regained his previous composure when facing reporters.

"I've said before that awards are won based on real ability, and luck doesn't play a big role. You can say that I won the Coach of the Month award because of luck."

Ten Hag held up two fingers: "But I won the Coach of the Month award twice, in October and February, in my first season as Utrecht coach. We can't say it was luck."

“I can prove myself in this game today.”

Ten Hag stood up from his chair, appearing very confident.

Click!

Click, click, click!

……

"Utrecht!"

Boom!

"Utrecht!"

Boom!

In the player tunnel, Tang Ye walked out slowly behind Ramsselaar.

"Wow, Tang, look!"

Ramsselaar pointed to the top of the right stand. Tang Ye turned his eyes and saw a cheering board written in Dutch at the location where Ramsselaar pointed.

【TOM, come on! 】

"Hiss, damn!"

Tang Ye's eyes lit up and he rubbed his hands excitedly.

Ramselaar pulled the caddy forward and said to Tang Ye: "I told you, you are a star now!"

"Yeah, little star! Haha!"

Ramselaar added.

"It seems like we have to win this game today!"

Tang Ye rubbed his hands and stepped into the competition venue.
