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

Chapter 276: Champions League match without Ten Hag, a challenge for Manchester United players

"The game begins!"

"Now let me introduce the starting lineups for both teams in this game!"

"First is the home team Manchester United, sitting at Old Trafford. You can see that Tang Ye got the starting position in this game. This is his first time to participate in the Champions League."

Worth 1.2 million euros.

First time playing in the Champions League!
You may think that these two sentences put together are a bit outrageous.

But that's what it is.

This is GGBond’s super power!
"Then it's the visiting team Basel! A team from the Swiss Super League"

Basel (3-4-3)

Goalkeeper: Vaclik

Defenders: Balanta, Susi, Akanji
Midfielders: Riveros, Zufi, Xhaka, Michael Lang

Forwards: Elyounoussi, Van Wolfswinkel, Steffen
Head coach: Vicky
Van Wolfswinkel.

Just now in the player tunnel, Tang Ye read his name several times.

It’s a very long name, but I don’t know how capable this brother is.

Less than half a minute into the game, the CCTV commentator had just introduced the team's starting lineup when the director's camera turned directly to the home team's bench.

Interim coach Van der Gaag was sitting in a chair.

As for the real coach, Ten Hag...

The camera turned to the stands next to the rostrum.

That's where Ten Hag is!

"Ten Hag!"

"Ten Hag!"

Manchester United fans chanted Ten Hag's name.

Ten Hag remained very calm in response and raised his right hand to respond to the cheers of the fans.

"Wow!"

Screams from Manchester United fans!

Although Ten Hag was unable to give on-the-spot command in this game.

But the fans felt the Manchester United coach's confidence from his body posture!

The 12th minute of the game!

"Hoo, hoo!"

Breathing quickly, Tang Ye was finding the rhythm of the game.

When he was in La Liga, he was the rhythm master of Villarreal. Now after coming to Manchester United, Tang Ye still wants to continue to be the team's rhythm master.

But because of the differences in players and tactics, Tang Ye is still unable to completely control Manchester United's rhythm.

He needs to try it little by little!

See Mata in front!

Get ahead of others and block Xhaka's position.

At the same time, ask teammates for the ball!
However, Herrera hesitated for a moment, which resulted in Tang Ye not getting the ball at the most appropriate time!
It’s a pity, but we can take our time.

Pull back and respond!
"I rely on!"

Just as Tang Ye began to retreat to support, Steffen suddenly completed a steal on Herrera.

Manchester United lost the ball in the backcourt!

"Herrera knows he made a mistake, he's chasing!"

"But it's a little too late, Stefan is very fast!"

The Basel winger accelerated to the baseline and then made a high pass into the penalty area.

Van Wolfswinkel jumps up!
boom!
Bailly got the ball out first!
The long-named monster didn't reach the ball!

However, Manchester United’s crisis has not been resolved yet!

Riveros!

Shoot directly!

"G——OOOO——AAAA——LLLL!!!"

"We have the ball!"

"A world-class shot from Riveros outside the penalty area!"

"Basel scored the first goal!"

The stadium was a little quiet. Riveros, who scored the goal, and his teammates looked towards the home team.

"Roar--!!!"

This was the roar from Basel players to the home fans in response to their taunts at the beginning of the game!
Dongqiudi real-time battle report: Bailly made a clearance error, Riveros scored a world-class goal from outside the box, and Basel led Manchester United 1:0.

"I rely on..."

Tang Ye shook his hands.

This ball shouldn't have happened!

He was not on the same channel as Herrera when he was moving forward!
"Observe in advance!"

De Gea yelled at Bailly: "Clear the ball to the left!"

I really didn't expect that Basel would be the first to score a goal. The Manchester United players on the field are now a little anxious.

The same goes for the coaching staff, of course.

Interestingly, after Manchester United lost the ball, the live camera did not immediately show Van der Gag on the bench.

Instead, it was given to Ten Hag who was sitting in the stands.

[Brothers, it seems that Teng Sheng is really panicking]

[Without Ten Hag yelling on the sidelines, Manchester United's defenders simply stopped running]

[Manchester United is behind? Basel is so strong?]

"Focus a little and spread the defense line to both sides!"

Van der Gaag gave tactical orders.

His mind instinctively wanted to go to the bench to look at the computer data, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

He was almost unable to shout at the sidelines!

Basel seemed to have found a way to deal with Manchester United. Three forwards cooperated with two attacking midfielders to keep pressing in the frontcourt.

Take a look at Manchester United's defensive midfielder configuration.

Mkhitaryan pretending to be a defensive midfielder, and Herrera who can't run fast.

"It seems like Manchester United can't get the ball out from the back!"

Realizing that something was wrong, Tang Ye began to retreat to the backcourt.

Run past the weird one with the long name!
Suddenly there was an extra point to pass the ball, and Manchester United's backcourt finally felt comfortable.

Seizing the opportunity, Smalling made a low pass and accurately passed the ball to Tang Ye.

Van Wolfswinkel also wants to physically confront Tang Ye!
Pretend to stretch your foot to stop the ball, but actually flick the ball behind you!
[Modric's back-to-the-basket escape template], directly escape from the monster with the long name!

"Let's go!"

Tang Ye started to advance with the ball!
The speed of 73 is not fast, but it is still no problem for short-term bursts!
Look up and capture the situation of three routes at the same time: left, center and right!
Rashford is ready to move forward!

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

Proficiency: 502/1000
This ball is very advantageous.

Roll past the Basel defender's feet!
! !
Knowing that something was wrong, Su Xi decisively fell to the ground and made a tackle.

But it’s just a little bit off!
He failed to block Tang Ye's through ball!
Penetrate the back line!

The ball turned a corner!
Ok?
Rashford, who rushed forward, was stunned and almost didn't react.

Fuck, this ball feels so good!

Tighten your core!

boom!
"The ball is in!"

"Rashford!"

"Pretty!"

"A perfect long pass from the attacking midfielder and the left midfielder!"

"Manchester United equalized the score!"

[You get counterattack points*15]

[Task progress: Goal (0/1)/Assist (1/1)]

[Task completed]

"Ha ha!"

Before the first half of the game was over, Tang Ye had already completed his task in the first stage.

Of course there are 15 counterattack points!
Just like in the World Cup qualifiers, Tang Ye can get 15 comeback points in the Champions League as long as he provides assists.

In the Premier League and La Liga, this is a reward only given for scoring goals!

Rashford had already run to the edge of the field and completed his slide. The Red Devils' prince hugged Martial and then turned around to look for Tang Ye.

"Tom!"

"I'm coming!"

boom!
After colliding with Rashford, Tang Ye imitated his teammates and put his hands on Rashford's head and rubbed it hard.

hiss!
Rashford's hair is very prickly!
"Marcus, it hurts!"

"what?"

Rashford didn't react to what Tang Ye meant: "I'm not in pain!"

"I know you're not in pain Marcus, it's me who's in pain!"

Shaking their hands, Tang Ye and Rashford slowly walked back to the half.

Hearing fans shouting his name, Tang Ye raised his right hand.

Football Real-time Report: In the 27th minute of the game, Tang Ye made a through pass to assist Rashford to score. Tang Ye broke the record of the fastest assist by a rookie in the Champions League in Manchester United's history. "After falling behind by one goal, Manchester United equalized the score in less than 1 minutes. They proved that they were the more dominant side in this game."

“Yes, although there were some problems with the ball out of the backcourt, we can see that Manchester United’s offensive line is absolutely top-notch!”

The camera is focused on Ten Hag!
Still sitting in the chair.

At this time, very careful fans are needed to find the differences.

Ten Hag kept his hands out when the team were trailing, but after Rashford scored the equaliser, the United manager put his hands in his pockets.

"..."

"Tang Ye! Pass the ball to Rashford again!"

"Tang Ye and Rashford played very well together!"

"Rashford pass it over!"

"Tang Ye!"

After changing the rhythm, he came into the penalty area.

Look at the far corner!
Directly attack the near corner!

"Depend on!"

His shot was blocked by the defender!
"United!"

Boom!

"United!"

Boom!

The game entered midfield.

It seemed that because Ten Hag was away, Rashford acted very casually when the midfielder was in the locker room.

Van der Gag was in the middle explaining the team's overall tactics, while Tang Ye and Rashford sat together and talked about their smaller tactics.

"Yes, you have to come to the middle to support me."

"If you are blocked by someone, I will go to your side to support you."

Tang Ye and Rashford whispered.

Back in the player tunnel, Tang Ye and Rashford switched positions and deliberately stood closer to the monster with the long name.

"Van Wolfswink..."

Van Wolfswinkel turned his head: "Tom"

Tang Ye blushed: "Hello, buddy, although I can't spell your name"

"Ha ha"

The second half of the game begins!

1:1 is a very ambiguous score.

Whether it was Manchester United players or Basel players, they were very dissatisfied with the score.

Manchester United fans even more!

They will definitely not accept a draw with the Swiss Super League team!
"Glory glory Man United~"

“Glory glory Man United~”

"And the reds go marching on! on! on!"

In the first half of the game, the team encountered problems with the ball out of the backcourt, so in the second half, Van der Gahe slightly adjusted the players' positions.

Push Tang Ye to the back?

No, if I do that I will be scolded by Ten Hag!
Van der Gag's approach was to swap the positions of Mata and Mkhitaryan, allowing Mata, who has better ball control skills, to play as a defensive midfielder.

Theoretically, this is feasible, and in fact, Van der Gahe's operation did alleviate the problems encountered by Manchester United in the first half.

but……

Vandergaard narrowed his eyes.

The problem of passing the ball from the backcourt has not been completely solved!

71th minute of the second half!

Tang Ye took the initiative to move to the right!

Find Mkhitaryan!
Snapped!
Mkhitaryan passed the ball back and then ran forward!

Tang Ye decisively sent a straight pass!

Give the ball to Mkhitaryan and follow him!
fuck!

Tang Ye's sudden forward movement startled Mata.

Such a large space is left vacant. If the opponent launches a counterattack, won’t Manchester United’s midfield defense be left vacant?

Knowing that something was wrong, Mata quickly ran up to take Tang Ye's position.

"Look at this attack from Manchester United"

"Mkhitaryan and Mao...Tang Ye, who temporarily moved to the forward position, were very close"

At this time it depends on the cooperation between Mkhitaryan and Tang Ye!

Mkhitaryan walked towards the penalty area little by little with the ball.

When he felt that the defense line was almost compressed, he passed the ball back to Tang Ye who was already prepared behind him!
Keep passing the ball into the penalty area!

Snapped!
[De Bruyne's cross from the bottom level 4: realistic]

Proficiency: 37/800
This is a rebound ball.

Tang Ye's pass hit the grass outside the penalty area, bounced back and entered the penalty area!

Martial rushes in!

Martial did not adjust in advance, which resulted in his shooting route being completely blocked by the goalkeeper when he got the ball.

Only give the ball to Rashford!

Rashford makes another inverted triangle!
That was the position that originally belonged to Tang Ye.

But now standing there is...

Mata!

Although a little surprised by the sudden pass, Mata immediately completed the shot.

"G——OOOO——AAAA——LLLL!!!"

2: 1!

The score is reversed!
Mata opened his mouth and arms at the same time and rushed to the edge of the field!

The players on the field celebrated wildly!

"call……"

Vandergaard breathed a sigh of relief.

A holding midfielder?

Do not!
Tom is a thriller midfielder!
For Manchester United fans, watching Tang Ye play football is like watching a horror movie.

It's nerve-wracking to watch, and when the results come out it will give the fans a big surprise.

Just behind Van der Gag, Rodri was sitting on the bench, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Do you think Mata was standing in Tom's position just now?
Do not!
Only Rodri himself knows that that should be his position!
When can I play, when can I play...

"come on! Come on!"

Ashley Young inspires the players.

Manchester United's on-field captain is feeling something right now.

That means the team still has the opportunity to continue scoring goals!

"Basel!"

The away team's cheers from the stands!
Basel fans have been working hard and they really want to help their home team.

But this is not Basel's home ground!

This is Old Trafford!
Having just scored a long shot, the talented Mata seemed to have smelled something.

Whenever Tang Ye moved to the wing, Mata would run forward.

Although he didn't always get results, he found that if he did this, the team's offense would be much smoother and the defense would be more stable.

hiss!
It’s so cool to play football with the formula!
"I'm here, I'm here!"

Tang Ye is still in the winger form!

clap clap clap!
Continuous small-scale cooperation with teammates!
Take the ball and break into the penalty area!

Facing the defense of Basel defenders, Tang Ye came with a very fast fried meatball.

It wasn't completely opened, but the space gained was enough for Tang Ye.

He only needs a very short time to kick the ball out, which is where Tang Ye is better than others.

The ball was poked to Mkhitaryan on the right with the toes!
Mkhitaryan shoots!

"G——OOOO——AAAA——LLLLLL!!!"

3: 1!

Tang Ye passed through Basel's penalty area and ran all the way to the right corner flagpole.

That's where Mkhitaryan is!

[You get counterattack points*15]

[Assist to score twice, you get an extra counterattack point*30]

[For your first UEFA Champions League match assist, you will receive a reward: Counterattack Points*30]

Coming to the bottom of the stands, Manchester United fans in the stands were screaming!
The goal was scored by Mkhitaryan.

But they shouted Tom's name!
Two assists in his Champions League debut!

Manchester United fans don’t know whether it was a good deal to spend 1.8 million euros on Tang Ye.

But now it seems that at least it’s not a loss!
This is... Ten Hahe's vision!
[Task completion: Goal (0/1)/Assist (2/1)]

【Status: Completed】
