I’ve been here twenty minutes already, haven’t seen Eric. Nobody else knows either.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alem answered while juggling, when Tang Ye’s phone vibrated in his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a WhatsApp message from the first-team group chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Erik: I had a car accident, I’ll be half an hour late. Warm up lightly, then practice keep-away.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the word?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amrabat looked at Tang Ye, who placed his phone on the bench and ran back: “We’re on our own this morning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amrabat was delighted and started practicing fancy juggling on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour and a half later, Ten Hag and Van der Gaag arrived at the training ground entrance in the same Uber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ninety minutes! A full ninety minutes late!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stepping out, Ten Hag glanced at his watch, clearly irritated: “We should’ve just left without waiting for the cops. Ninety minutes—this morning’s training is almost over!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Calm down, relax,” Van der Gaag comforted him. “The plan’s already set. We’ll just do some ball-touch drills later. Won’t waste much time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, they’re adults. They know how to use training time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag corrected Van der Gaag: “One of them isn’t an adult.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just one. Alem and Balazic will keep Tang training.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Van der Gaag said, then walked with Ten Hag toward the field. The latter muttered as they went: “I’ll bet five euros Tang already ran off—he’s probably playing games in his dorm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the training ground, standing outside the fence, Van der Gaag spotted Tang Ye immediately: “Oh, Eric—you just lost five euros!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye wasn’t just on the field—he was running on it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait, wait, that’s not right!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag frowned, sensing something odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye and Alem sprinted forward together, then slid into a kneeling slide simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish-swish-swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye stood up instantly and looked behind him: “Come on, three stripes! Hahaha, Sebastian, you lost!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the players gathered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the grass where Tang Ye had slid, there were three distinct stripes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, how the hell did you do that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye lifted his foot: “When sliding, put your right toe right in the center—use the toe to drag the middle stripe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the fence, Van der Gaag stared: “Is he teaching someone something?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag covered his face with his left hand: “Jesus, he’s teaching people how to make three stripes when sliding!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beep!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag suddenly blew his whistle, halting the sliding drill. Tang Ye, just about to sprint, stopped helplessly as Ten Hag approached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players formed a circle; Ten Hag stood in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s a lot to cover. Everyone can sit down and listen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye sat down first. Ten Hag noticed and walked over, yanking him up by the arm: “Not you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“W-why not me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye spread his hands: “Sir, please! Everyone’s the same—I should be allowed to sit too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can sit down when you’ve fully figured out how to make three stripes with your slide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye moved to the back of the line. Ten Hag glanced at him, then returned his attention to his notebook: “Let me talk about our recent matches—the Eredivisie and the KNVB Cup. Results have been decent overall—we’ve picked up plenty of points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The players on the grass smiled as they listened, but Ten Hag quickly cut them off: “We may have won, but we must have a clear understanding of ourselves. Stay calm for the upcoming matches.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not practice sliding on the pitch and making three-stripe slides.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag pointed his notebook at Tang Ye, who was peeling the wrapper off a piece of gum at the very back of the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…S-sorry, my bad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it. Let’s continue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag turned his focus away from Tang Ye: “My point is, our overall form this season has been poor. If you start celebrating and cheering just because of a few recent wins, you’re going to suffer badly in the next matches!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does anyone remember our league goal this season?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag asked suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Van der Maarel raised his hand: “Avoid relegation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly—avoid relegation. Relegation-threatened teams should feel tension, pressure—not like this. Don’t celebrate too early.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But don’t worry—despite the tough situation, I’ll do everything I can to help you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember this: effort always outweighs talent. If you have even a little talent, and combine it with effort, you’ll progress extremely fast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag called Tang Ye forward: “Ignoring those black sliding marks on the grass, Tang is a perfect example—his hard work in training earned him those two goals. Don’t you agree?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alem, Balazic, and Ramselaar exchanged glances but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ten Hag’s awkward silence, Ramselaar spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Absolutely right!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1012,"2026-06-20T06:50:08.245Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","662d7d71807ca867ce3f82b1cf887c4f21286dfc09887f4ef701a41fd4de2594","football-at-16-let-me-retire-and-come-back-chapter-47","football-at-16-let-me-retire-and-come-back-chapter-45",918,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffootball-at-16-let-me-retire-and-come-back-cover.jpg"]
