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

Chapter 343: After defeating Tottenham twice, the gap between Manchester United and Manchester City is only 5 points?

Top post: Tottenham vs Manchester United match in progress, current score 2:1.

Real-time battle report: Tang Ye made an accurate cross pass, Rashford scored from the near corner, and Manchester United tied the score 2:2!

"United! United! United!"

Like the Manchester United players on the field, Manchester United fans are slowly finding their form.

Ten Hag sat in a chair, looking at Rashford on the field and lost in thought.

Rashford is in really good form recently!

Is Shu Shu going to become Manchester United’s second billionaire?

A mouse worth 1 million euros sounds a bit outrageous.

But it feels like Rashford is not far from that goal!

"Keep an eye on Tom!"

This is Pochettino's roar.

The Tottenham coach is starting to get anxious!

It’s a pity that there is such a big difference between this season’s Tottenham and last season’s Tottenham.

This season it is very difficult for Tottenham to recover when they are behind in momentum!
"Manchester United's counterattack..."

"Ashley Young looked for Tang Ye first, which was a good choice because we all know that Tang Ye's long pass ability is quite exaggerated."

"Tang Ye, just pass it to Rodri!"

Rodri ran directly in front of Tang Ye, and Tang Ye, who completed the pass, moved to the side.

Manchester United had just achieved good success in their attack from the wing, and Tang Ye wanted to replicate that success.

Rodri dribbles the ball himself!
The Spanish midfielder has excellent physical confrontation ability.

In Tang Ye's eyes, Rodri was like a fast-moving tank!
Come on Rod!

After completing the advance, pass the ball to Rashford!

Rashford stopped the ball, shook it slightly in the frontcourt, and then passed the ball back to Rodri.

At this time, the Tottenham defender was unwilling to retreat anymore, and Sanchez rushed out to steal the ball.

Rodri passes the ball directly back to Tang Ye!
Beautiful Rod!

Facing the pass rolling towards him, Tang Ye looked up and observed.

Well, this is a very good opportunity!
Snapped!
[De Bruyne 45-degree cross level 5: Reproduction]!
Inside the restricted area!

Alai!

It was not a good shooting opportunity, Allais headed the ball back to Rodri.

Rodri grabbed the ball and moved sideways to prepare to break into the penalty area.

Although he is a defensive midfielder, little brother Rod also has the dream of passing the penalty area!

Rodri was brought down!

"Beep!"

The referee reacted very quickly and blew the whistle decisively, calling a defensive foul on Tottenham.

This is a penalty for Manchester United!
"United!"

Boom!

"United!"

Boom!

There were cheers coming from the stands and the commentator in the live broadcast room was also very excited.

Just when the fans thought that the penalty would be given to Ale, Ashley Young picked up the ball on the ground and handed it to Tang Ye.

Ashley Young patted Tang Ye on the back: "Come on, Tom!"

Real-time battle report from the Football Emperor: Rodri made a penalty in the penalty area, and Tang Ye prepared to take the penalty.

"Manchester United's penalty was given to Tang Ye"

【I’m awesome! 】

[Although Elson bought Wu Lei, I now declare that Elson's status is no longer as good as Teng Sheng's! ]

[Will Ten Hag give the penalty directly to the first penalty taker? 】

[Fuck, you don't want to give it to Alai? ]

Even though Haller was on the field, Manchester United still gave the penalty kick to Tang Ye.

Saint Teng!

I blew it up!
Putting the ball on the penalty spot, Tang Ye looked at Lori in front of him.

A penalty opportunity when the score was 2:2 and the opponent was still Tottenham.

This can be said to be the most stressful penalty kick Tang Ye has ever faced.

[You bought Tangye's chewing gum]

After calming down a little, Tang Ye began to slowly retreat.

"Huh, huhu..."

The teachings of Van der Gage and De Gea echoed in Tang Ye's ears.

"Beep!"

"Tang Ye, run up!"

"Hit the door!"

"The ball is in!"

"3:2!"

"Manchester United are leading!"

Tang Ye, who scored the penalty, raised his arms high and Manchester United players quickly surrounded him.

[Score twice, you get an extra counterattack point*30]

"Tom!"

"Viva TomTom"

"Viva TomTom!"

Familiar Tom's song!

The camera focuses on Tang Ye on the court.

2 shots and 1 assist, involved in all 3 goals scored by Manchester United so far.

fuck.

That’s 2 million euros!
"Cheer up, cheer up!"

Lowry and Kane encouraged their teammates.

From leading to falling behind, Tottenham players must be feeling bad now.

After the 84th minute of the game, Ten Hag had the idea of ​​replacing Tang Ye with Lingard.

Of course we have to wait until Tottenham’s attack is over!
Son Heung-min's cross pass found Eriksen, who then looked for an opportunity to pass the ball.

Snapped!
To Kane in the penalty area!

Trapped by Smalling and Phil Jones, Kane had no chance at all.

"Fuck..."

Pochettino squatted on the ground and sighed, with his arms hanging naturally.

Tottenham is getting further and further away from victory!
……

Football Report: Manchester United reversed Tottenham 3:2 away from home and had a perfect start to the February league. Tang Ye scored twice and Rashford scored.

"Hey Tom!"

"Tom here here!"

During the thank-you session, Tang Ye followed his teammates to the visiting team's stand.

Pick up the jersey on the ground, sign your name on it, and then throw it back to the fans in the stands.

This is the club's requirement and also part of Tang Ye's work during the game.

Although it is work, Tang Ye really enjoys this feeling.

Win a game with ups and downs, and then give the fans something they like amid the cheers of the fans.

The cultural teacher at the football school taught him long ago that giving roses to others will leave a lingering fragrance on your hands.

Tang Ye likes to see the smiles on fans' faces when they get their signed jerseys.

"Not an easy match, do you think?"

Ten Hag appeared next to Tang Ye at some point, and the Manchester United coach was also signing autographs for fans in the stands.

"haha of course!"

“But if it’s too simple, it’s meaningless.”

Ten Hag laughed: "So you like stronger challenges?"

“But I don’t like losing.”

Tang Ye expressed his own opinion: "It is best to win a very difficult game, which will make me happy. But if I lose, it will not be good. Yang and Mata do not like to lose, and of course I am the same."

Back in the player tunnel, Ashley Young directly hugged Tang Ye's neck, and then pressed Tang Ye's head to his chest: "Beautiful, Tom, haha!"

"Yang, I didn't miss a penalty this time"

Breaking free from Ashley Yang's arms, Tang Ye said very proudly.

“That’s right, we didn’t concede a penalty.”

……

Click, click, click!

It was a focus match of BIG6, and the press conference room was certainly lively after the match.

Manchester United reversed Tottenham with a score of 3:2. This was big news, but the reporters first focused on Tang Ye.

"At 2:2 you got a penalty, it was Rodri who made it, and you chose to let Tom take it"

"At the time, both Allais and Rashford, who are good at taking penalties, were on the field. Was it planned that Tom would take the penalty?"

Ten Hag hesitated, then nodded.

He didn't expect the reporters to ask questions about Tang Ye first, but it didn't matter.

Come to think of it, it’s about time now.

"Tom was my first penalty taker"

"When the first penalty taker is on the pitch and the team gets a penalty, it should be given to the first penalty taker, that's the truth."

!!!

Click, click, click!

"So Eric, you've made Tom Manchester United's first penalty taker? When did this happen?"

“Is it because of Ibrahimovic’s departure?”

"Eric, will Rashford and Martial agree to your arrangement?" The press room suddenly became lively.

An 18-year-old player serves as Manchester United's first penalty taker, and his position is in the midfield.

This news is really too exaggerated for football reporters.

"huhu"

Ten Hag blew into the microphone and the scene became quiet.

"The timing... it happened recently. In the past few days, I let Tom serve as Manchester United's first penalty taker. This was the result of a joint discussion among the team."

A female reporter in the front row wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Ten Hag.

"I know you will question my arrangement because Tom didn't have the ability to take penalties when he was at Villarreal"

"But you also need to know that people grow. This season I discovered and cultivated Tom's penalty talent. He grew very fast. He has a high penalty success rate both in training and in actual games. As you can see, Tom took a lot of penalties this season, but only missed one."

Ten Hag spread his hands: "What I mean is, don't judge a player by age and qualifications, whether he is suitable to be the first penalty taker"

"We should look at the strength. Tom's penalty data is the best, so he should be our first penalty taker."

The reporters in the audience looked at each other.

Click, click, click, click!

……

“In fact, I have already been the number one penalty shooter.”

Tang Ye and Alai whispered: "But Mr. Eric must say that I have only recently become the first penalty taker, which is wrong"

"Tom, I remember I talked to you about this before."

Also watching the interview broadcast in the locker room, Rodri suddenly turned his head and said: "He just doesn't want reporters to know that you are the first penalty taker three months after joining the team. That would be too much pressure."

"Let Marcus and Zlatan help you handle the pressure"

Rodri nodded slightly, and was very impressed by Ten Hag's actions.

At the same time, it’s a bit regrettable.

If only he had Utrecht experience too!

"Rod, you probably don't understand Mr. Eric."

Tang Ye shook his head: "This is unfair to Marcus and the others. Mr. Eric would not do such a thing."

I recall the time when I played football in Utrecht.

Except for the extra training in the evening, Mr. Eric always treats everyone equally at other times!

Rod is a good man, but he shouldn't have misunderstood Mr. Eric!
……

"TA" front page headline - Tom becomes Manchester United's first penalty taker. Is Ten Hag, who reuses young people, trying to completely transform Manchester United?
Soon the news that Tang Ye became Manchester United's first penalty taker spread across the Internet.

18 years old, penalty taker for Manchester United.

Just by looking at this news, you might think that Manchester United is already in decline, and they are letting a little guy with little game experience shoulder the fate of the team.

But the fans can't say this.

Because what they see is not the decline of Manchester United.

But...the rise of Manchester United!

With the first win in February, the Red Devils moved up a notch in the standings.

The front page headline of "Manchester Evening News" - 3:2 reversal of Tottenham, Manchester United is chasing Manchester City strongly.

Attached is the Premier League standings (as of round 25)
1. Manchester City, 68 points.

2. Manchester United, 63 points.

3. Liverpool, 54 points.

4. Tottenham, 48 points.

5. Arsenal, 48 points.

Originally, the gap between Manchester United and Manchester City was as high as 9 points, directly dividing the first and second places into two categories.

But now the situation has changed a bit. Manchester United has narrowed the gap with Manchester City to 5 points through continued winning streak.

A 9-point gap is an insurmountable chasm, but a 5-point gap...

hiss--

This points difference is really a bit ambiguous!

"We can feel the pressure from Manchester United. Fans say that Manchester City is invincible this season, but now it seems that we are under the threat of Manchester United. We must be vigilant," Manchester City coach Guardiola told reporters in an interview after the game.

……

[De Bruyne through pass level 4: realistic]

Proficiency: 944/1000
After finishing the passing training, Tang Ye stood on the grass in a daze.

It’s not far from upgrading [Arc Through Pass] to level 5.

What Tang Ye is curious about now is whether the upgrade of [Curved Pass] can raise his passing attribute to 90?

After all, the difference between 89 and 90 is still quite big.

If you think about it carefully, I think just one [curve through pass] is not enough.

Van der Gag walked towards Tang Ye and signaled Tang Ye and Rashford to practice direct free kicks.

Unlike the schedule in January, Manchester United will face many strong teams in February.

Among them is the Champions League knockout opponent Villarreal!
The experience of playing against Tottenham has taught the Manchester United coaching staff that Manchester United's current tactics will be more difficult when facing strong teams.

In addition to open play, Manchester United should also work on free kicks and corner kicks.

Pop, pop, pop!

Tang Ye dribbled the ball and walked slowly towards Rashford: "Marcus, many fans are saying that we are going to chase Manchester City. Have you seen the news?"

“Yeah, I’ve been watching the news.”

"Wow, you are the same as Rhodes. Rhodes also likes to watch the news."

Tang Ye nodded slightly.

It seems that Marcus is as knowledgeable as Rhodes.

"So do you think we can overtake Manchester City?"

Rashford stepped on the ball under his feet: "Hiss, you may not like what I say, but... to be honest, I feel that our chances are slim. Once the Champions League starts, our league winning rate may drop, but we can't give up the Champions League."

"I think so too"

Rashford was surprised by Tang Ye's words: "You think so too? Well, I thought you would say something..."

Looking up, Rashford imitated Tang Ye's way of speaking: "Marcus, you are wrong, we can definitely win!"

"Haha, no way Marcus, that's not how I talk!"

"No, no, no, that's how you talk, Tom, I know you very well, don't explain."

Tang Ye helplessly spread his hands: "No, Marcus, I am actually a very serious person. I have also considered the problem you mentioned, which is... well, our league winning rate may drop after the Champions League starts."

"So Marcus, I didn't refute you when you said that just now, because you and I were thinking the same thing."

"but!"

Tang Ye looked at the No. 1 training ground in the distance, where Mata, Rodri, and Ashley Young were practicing double-teaming in the backcourt.

"We have great players, so we will win."

Tang Ye had just finished speaking when Ten Hag's voice came from training ground No. 1.

"Tom, what are you doing? Hurry up and practice. If the training today is not effective, you two will go to the second team cafeteria to eat!"

"Damn it, Mr. Eric is angry, Marcus, let's move!"

……

"Beautiful Tang Ye!"

"The free kick went straight into the goal!"

"2:0!"

Before the end of the first half, Manchester United took a 2-goal lead thanks to Tang Ye's direct free kick.

The opponent Huddersfield's goalkeeper stood there with a helpless look on his face.

Snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky, but the stands at Old Trafford seemed to be on fire.

In the 26th round of the Premier League, Manchester United, playing at home, is in a very good situation.

They are about to get 2 consecutive wins!
The camera was at the top of the stands, where several Manchester United fans unfurled their cheering banners for the game:
[Dear Mr. Eric, please lead us to chase Manchester City! ]

The game enters the second half!

Manchester United still has a relatively large advantage in this game, but because there is a relatively large gap between the next game, Ten Hag has no intention of replacing Tang Ye for the time being.

The Champions League round of 2 will be on February 21st. Manchester United needs to build up momentum from the previous games so that they can put in a good enough performance against Villarreal.

Snapped!
A teammate passed the ball to him.

Although he has a [Kroosan ball template], Tang Ye is not the kind of player who likes to pass back.

Very boldly, Tang Ye chose to dribble the ball himself and protect it.

Rodri comes over to take over!
“In front, in front!”

Pretend to break through, and then wait for the defensive player to spread his legs and suddenly pass the ball through the crotch.

"woww!!!"

Amid the screams from Manchester United fans, Tang Ye's through-the-crotch pass was very accurate and found Rodri in front!

Look at Rodri again!
After receiving the through pass from Tang Ye, Manchester United's midfielder quickly passed the ball to Rashford on the left.

Rashford moves with the ball.

Shoot directly!

The ball was saved by the goalkeeper, but center forward Ale rushed over and easily scored with a follow-up shot.

"GOOOO-AAAAAA-LLLL!!!"

The ball went in!
3: 0!

After a brief celebration, Manchester United quickly started their attack again.

Dongqiudi's real-time battle report: Rashford's long-range shot was saved, Allais scored with a long-range shot, and the goal difference between Manchester United and Manchester City was narrowed to single digits.

A difference of 9 goals.

Although there is still a lot of room for improvement, Manchester United has taken a big step forward.

More than 70 minutes.

The Huddersfield players were a little confused by Manchester United's counterattack.

Now is still Manchester United's chance!

Pointing his finger at the goal opposite, Tang Ye kicked the ball out.

Snapped!
[De Bruyne through pass level 4: replica]

Proficiency: 957/1000
A curved through ball from Tang Ye!
Penetrate the defense!

To Mata in the frontcourt!
Mata pushed the ball and successfully extended the score to 4:0.

Huddersfield was beaten!
