When attacking, try to move wide!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag shouted loudly to the players on the pitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Utrecht is facing the same problem they had at the start of the season: they can’t break through the defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twente’s head coach is smart; his 4-3-3 formation frequently shifts into a 4-5-1, and the overwhelming midfield thickness makes it hard for Utrecht’s players to find openings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On screen, Ten Hag frowned, then walked back to the bench to discuss tactics with Van der Gaag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This match is tough to play!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“utrecht!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud! Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“utrecht!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud! Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only good news is that this is Utrecht’s home ground; the roar of over 20,000 fans has greatly lifted the players’ morale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twente’s players are relentless; even after leading 1-0, they continue pressing Utrecht hard. Oostwijk and Agyepong run tirelessly up front, denying Jensen any chance to control the ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye is also in trouble—every time he calls for the ball from Rijewa, Agyepong immediately sprints toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With someone standing behind him, Tang Ye has no chance to turn and dribble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing this dilemma, captain Ramselaar found a solution: he and Jensen deliberately moved wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twente’s players can’t all press forward—they must choose between Tang Ye in the center and Ramselaar on the flank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Twente’s players chose Ramselaar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Tang Ye has scored twice in two consecutive matches, he’s still just a 16-year-old youngster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Twente’s players, Tang Ye’s threat level is far lower than Ramselaar’s!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit, finally gone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no one around, Tang Ye took a breath, slowly retreated toward his own half, then extended his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Tang Ye reach for the ball, Rijewa passed it to the right flank to Klebe; Klebe found the right angle and delivered a low, long pass that reached Tang Ye’s feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ok, now it’s Tang Ye in possession!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tang Ye, run forward on your own—Twente hasn’t marked him tightly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tang Ye has space!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dribbling alone forward, Tang Ye carefully observed the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No chance going to the arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then go left!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go inside,” Tang Ye whispered. His voice was quiet, tinged with the accent of an Asian learning Dutch, but Ale understood him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the flank, Tang Ye was immediately blocked by Terwiest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the flank, Tang Ye was immediately blocked by Terwistrust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye never even leveled up that skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pass back to Kamboi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamboi stopped the ball, and Tang Ye retreated to Kamboi’s position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran while watching the penalty area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, when he reached his spot, he wouldn’t waste time scanning the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, when he runs into position, he won’t need to waste time observing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A 45-degree cross delivered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the box, Ale seized the chance to head it in!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Goal! Goal!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me who scored! Oh no—tell me who assisted!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me who scored—no, tell me who assisted!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Assist!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Utrecht equalizes! In the 28th minute, thanks to Tang Ye’s cross, Utrecht draws level!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Holy shit, is that accurate?】【Insane, now I get why you all love Tang Ye so much—he’s fucking brutal】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Holy shit, is that even accurate?】【Insane, now I finally get why you all love Tang Ye so much—this guy is fucking brutal.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Really accurate, but Twente’s defense is awful】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Exactly—Twente clearly has strong attack but weak defense. As long as Utrecht holds their backline, with Tang Ye up front, they’ll score faster than they concede.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【It’s like this: Twente clearly has strong offense but weak defense; if Utrecht can hold their backline and pair it with Tang Ye, they’ll score faster than they’ll concede.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Chao shouted into the mic: “Do you know why Tang Ye always steps up when we’re behind?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because he hears the voice of the people!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tang the King, perfect assist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ale turned, arms wide, sprinting toward Tang Ye: “tom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag, standing in front of the bench, frowned deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, watching Tang Ye play always gave him a strange feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, watching Tang Ye play always gave him a strange feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looks like a naive, cheerful boy—but one careless move and he stabs you right in the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked like a naive, cheerful boy, but one misstep and he’d stab straight through the opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The match continues!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pulling one back, Utrecht ramped up their attack. Balazic drew a penalty in the box, and Ale calmly converted the spot-kick, completing his brace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pulling one back, Utrecht increased their offensive pressure; Balazic won a penalty in the box, and Ale took his run-up and calmly converted it, completing a brace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beautiful, just like that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag jumped up from the bench in excitement. Three minutes later, Ayoubo, sitting behind him, asked Amrabat to tap Ten Hag on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ten Hag turned his head, Ayoubo asked: “Eric, can I start warming up now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ten Hag turned his head, Ayoubo asked: “Eric, can I start warming up now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag smiled: “Yasin, I know you’re eager, but hold off for now—if the right opportunity comes, I’ll let you warm up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag smiled: “Yasin, I know you’re eager, but don’t rush—I’ll let you warm up if the right opportunity comes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before was before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye is playing so beautifully today—he won’t make any substitutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, he never knew Tang Ye had naked photos of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That damn lazy pig has put Ten Hag in a terrible position!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That damn lazy pig had put Ten Hag in a terrible bind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The match continues. In the 40th minute, Twente launches an attack: Agyepong dribbles down the flank. Tang Ye sneaks over, seemingly aiming for a tackle from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Twente’s players react quickly, immediately warning Agyepong to watch his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In panic, Agyepong quickly passes the ball toward the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Agyepong intended to pass to Ziyech in the center, but Ramselaar intercepts it mid-run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seizing this counterattack chance, Utrecht strikes again: Jensen fires a long-range shot that finds the back of Twente’s net.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The score is now 3-1; players begin embracing and celebrating on the pitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you see that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag sits back down and asks Van der Gaag a strange question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag sat back down on the bench and asked Van der Gaag a strange question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tang—Tang made a hand signal before pressing the number 11.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, you mean that? Of course I saw it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Van der Gaag smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fans think this counterattack came from Ramselaar—but it didn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Tang Ye ran toward Agyepong, he made a hooking gesture toward Ramselaar, signaling him to move forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not unusual for teammates to coordinate—but what comes next is strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye blocked Agyepong’s turning space, and no other attackers were ahead—Agyepong had no choice but to pass to the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ramselaar, running into the center, could intercept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ramseyel, running up the center, could make the interception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Van der Gaag felt a chill and quickly shook himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Dejiahe felt a chill of dread and quickly shook his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did he think all that in one second?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1245,"2026-06-20T06:50:08.245Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b403c57f382fac692071cde0df76bce37bae1b3fae6f718b5123f8551eaff578","football-at-16-let-me-retire-and-come-back-chapter-50","football-at-16-let-me-retire-and-come-back-chapter-48",918,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffootball-at-16-let-me-retire-and-come-back-cover.jpg"]
