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

Chapter 299: Manchester United Legend Treasure Box Upgrade Road, Home Game against Benfica

coming!

Manchester United superstar treasure chest!

Tang Ye hadn't obtained a new template for some time, but he was not in a hurry to open this treasure chest.

When you first get it, it is a Superstar Chest, which means that this chest has the potential to grow into a Legendary Chest.

Manchester United Legends Treasure Chest!

Tang Ye knew what this meant!
[Do you want to put the Manchester United treasure chest·superstar into the piggy bank to start the financial management task? ]

[Task requirements: Get 6 goals or 6 assists in English domestic competitions (Premier League, League Cup, FA Cup)]

[Reward: Manchester United Treasure Box·Legend]

Upgrade mission for legendary treasure chest!
The mission of the superstar treasure box is to score 3 goals or 3 assists.

The legendary treasure chest requires 6 goals or 6 assists.

Well... the difficulty has increased a lot compared to before.

But Tang Ye will not be sad.

Because the increase in the difficulty of the task also indirectly illustrates the preciousness of the treasure chest.

The Manchester United Legend Treasure Chest is hard to obtain, but it is definitely something Tang Ye needs to pursue!
He needs help from his Manchester United predecessors.

And become stronger because of it!

Ronaldinho, Beckham, Van Nistelrooy...

"call……"

Recalling the legendary Manchester United player he knew best, Tang Ye let out a long sigh.

I shook my head and prepared to start a game myself, but at this moment the phone that I had just placed on the table rang.

Let’s take a look at what’s going on first.

WhatsApp, this is a message from... van der Garhe.

Manchester United assistant coach Van der Gag posted some videos in the first-team players' group, which were some analyses made by Manchester United's technical team on Benfica players.

wow！

Nodding slightly, Tang Ye scrolled up the chat history to find the team's November schedule, and suddenly remembered something he had overlooked.

Their first game in November is the Champions League!
The opponent is Benfica!

Tang Ye remembered that he still had a Champions League mission.

And it's a serial task.

[Phase 1 Mission Progress: Goal (2/7), Threatening Pass (10/)]

[Limited to 4 games, current number of games (2/4)]

A closer look will show that Tang Ye still has one goal and three threatening passes to complete his second stage Champions League mission.

Doesn't seem too far off?

Frowning in thought.

Tang Ye now has a feeling that if he has better luck in the match against Benfica, he should be able to complete this task directly!
Ah!
Keep up the good work!

With a desire for the rewards of the Phase 2 mission, Tang Ye closed the CSGO he had just opened and then opened FIFA.

We will play against Benfica in a few days.

Let’s have 50 simulated battles first!

……

English Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Month shortlist for October:
1. Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City.

2. Monreal, Arsenal.

3. Nick Pope (goalkeeper), Burnley

4. Tang Ye, Manchester United.

5. Sane, Manchester City.

The candidates for La Liga's Player of the Month have always been dominated by Melo, Griezmann, and Neymar.

In comparison, the selection of the Premier League Player of the Month is much more comfortable.

Currently, only De Bruyne is on the list of best players for the three months of August, September and October.

This has a lot to do with Manchester City's incredible form this season.

Manchester City still hasn't lost a game in October!
[What do you mean, someone who knows football, does King Tang have a chance this month?]

[To be honest, it is better to understand the English Football Association than to understand football. Only those who understand the English Football Association can make perfect predictions.]

[If we won the match against Liverpool, it would most likely be Tang Ye, but we drew against Liverpool]

[No, how come I, Teng Sheng, can't even make the list of candidates for the best coach? ]

In addition to Tang Ye being selected as a candidate for the Player of the Month, there is another thing that Chinese fans are very concerned about.

That's Ten Hag!

Why can't Teng Sheng even be included in the candidate list for Premier League Coach of the Month?
I remember that in the Eredivisie, Ten Hag almost monopolized the best coach trophy!

Damn!

What is the FA doing!
……

At Carrington Base, the first training session today was about long passes.

"Ok Rod, come with me and I'll teach you how to play."

Tang Ye rubbed his hands.

He is really good at long passes.

Tang Ye knew that Rodri's long passes were not very accurate, which greatly affected the Spanish midfielder's adaptation to the Premier League.

As a friend of Rhodes, Tang Ye knew that he needed to stand up at this time.

Teach Rodri his long pass secret technique little by little!

"Tom, come out."

Vandergaard looked up at Tang Ye, who was stunned for a moment: "What, what's wrong..."

Looking at Ten Hag next to him, the Manchester United coach narrowed his eyes, and his expression made Tang Ye feel a little nervous.

"Hey, Mr. Eric, I should have done nothing wrong. I came to the base 10 minutes early today. Rod can testify to that."

"I didn't say you made a mistake, come with me"

Van der Gahe took Tang Ye to the next court.

Looking back at Ten Hag, Tang Ye whispered, "Mr. Michel, I actually run pretty fast, you just can't see it. I don't think we can rush into speed training."

Tang Ye had experienced this kind of thing too many times when he was in Luneng Football School, being singled out by the assistant coach.

It was simply that Tang Ye's ability did not meet the coach's expectations, so he needed to be trained individually.

"It's not about speed training, it's not about speed training"

Van der Gag called over Manchester United's third goalkeeper Pereira.

Pereira was putting on his gloves, and Van der Gahe asked Tang Ye to go to the penalty spot: "Today is still a penalty, and it will be the same in the future. You will only spend half the time training long passes as other players, and the other half practicing penalties."

"This……"

Tang Ye stepped on the ball and twisted his ankle: "Mr. Michel, my long pass is not that good."

Van der Gahe laughed and said: "Fuck you, you and Rodri were hanging the crossbar in the backcourt yesterday afternoon, and I saw you hit 3 out of 2."

“That was luck”

"..."

Vandergaard shook his head.

"Penalty training isn't tiring, it just requires some thinking, you should be good at it"

Seeing that Tang Ye seemed reluctant, Vandergaard tried to persuade him.

"I know I know"

Tang Ye nodded quickly.

Now he is not as resistant to penalty kick training as before.

Because this thing is really not tiring and is also quite interesting.

Tang Ye had deep trust in Vandergaard, so after some hesitation he still expressed his thoughts.

“But I prefer places with more people.”

Van der Gahe shrugged: "Including me, there are three people in this training ground."

Tang Ye pointed to the No. 20 training ground: "But there are nearly people over there."

Tang Ye had just finished speaking when Lingard's laughter was heard from the training ground next door. Tang Ye really wanted to know what Jesse was laughing at.

Maybe he'll laugh at this?
"..."

Vandergaard pinched his nose, thinking that what Tang Ye said was a little funny. "This will only take you 15 minutes, at most 20 minutes, after practice we will go together."

"You know, we don't have a particularly good penalty shooter on our team right now, so we need to train one now."

Looking into Tang Ye's eyes: "Tom, we need a specific player to stand up when we get a penalty kick opportunity. Instead of discussing a penalty kick opportunity for a long time in the penalty area like the game the day before yesterday."

Tang Ye nodded gently: "I feel like I'm pretty good at penalty kicks now"

React suddenly.

"Wait, are you going to let me take a penalty kick in the game?"

"My penalty kicks are great, but I'm still a long way from Marcus and Anthony (Martial)."

Vandergaard opened the notebook in his hand and took a look.

[Tom, penalty success rate 84% (training), ranked second]

"well..."

Closing the notebook, Vandergaard had a smile on his face.

“It’s not much different actually.”

……

Snapped!
Snapped!
“In front, in front!”

"Hit the door, hit the door!"

The sounds of Manchester United players hitting the ball and shouting came from the training ground, and Ten Hag stood on the sidelines thinking.

Suddenly he said: "I think 4231 may not be our best solution"

"Anthony will be able to return to training in at most half a week"

Vandergaard reminded.

"I know what you mean. What I mean is that even if Martial is here we shouldn't play 4231---."

Ten Hag's words surprised Van der Jag.

He has followed Ten Hag for many years, and in his impression, 4231 is Eric's favorite formation.

'But this is the Premier League'

Last night, Ten Hag carefully studied Villarreal's results last season at home and found that the team had a low period in January and early February.

"If we keep using the same formation, our opponents will study us. We need something new."

Ten Hag gestured with both hands, although van der Gahe didn't know what he was gesturing.

"So what do you want to kick?"

"4312"

"Two strikers? What about the middle? Who goes to the penalty area?"

Ten Hag said nothing, but looked at Tang Ye who was walking slowly on the training ground: "Someone will run into the penalty area"

Turning to look at Vandergahe: "Do you think it's appropriate for me to do this?"

"You already have a plan, so there's no point in me saying anything more."

Van der Gag helplessly spread his hands, he knew Ten Hag's character.

boom!
Valencia scored a goal and Ten Hag blew the whistle.

"Okay guys, let's take a break, let's take a break!"

……

Football Emperor event preview: Manchester United will face Benfica at home and strive for their first win in November!
The front page headline of The Sun - This season, Manchester United's winning rate in the two Champions League games without Ten Hag was 2%, and the winning rate in the one Champions League game with Ten Hag was also 100%.

"But if Manchester United loses a Champions League game next time, the team's winning rate with Ten Hag will be lower than without Ten Hag," said the Sun reporter.

The game is still one day away from starting, but English reporters are already putting pressure on Ten Hag!

The Manchester United manager's current Champions League winning rate is still 100%.

Can Benfica reduce Ten Hag's winning rate?

[I feel Benfica still has a good chance]

[Damn, that Teng Sheng is not G anymore, the win rate without head coach is greater than the win rate with head coach]

[It’s not what you are worried about. King Tang will save Teng Hai.]

[That’s right, GGBonb will take action at the critical moment! ]

Will GGBond take action at the critical moment?

"Rod, today is our home game, so we don't seem to be able to see the Eagles."

Sitting on the bus heading to the stadium, Tang Ye said to Rodri beside him.

But Rodri seemed a little absent-minded.

"Rod, what are you thinking about?"

After being called back to his senses by Tang Ye, Rodri quickly shook his head.

"It's okay, I was just thinking about how to play today."

Rodri showed the screen of his mobile phone in front of Tang Ye. Half an hour ago, Van der Gag posted Manchester United's starting lineup in the group.

Goalkeeper: De Gea
Defenders: Valencia, Smalling, Bailly, Ashley Young
Midfielders: Mata, Rodri, Tangye, Herrera
Forwards: Mkhitaryan, Rashford
The training performance was very good, so Ten Hag decided to try his 4312 idea directly in the next game.

Tang Ye's position was further advanced!

"Mr. Eric said that it would be the same style of play as before, even though there was one less striker. But he said someone would pretend to be a striker and go into the penalty area. I don't know who Mr. Eric was talking about."

Tang Ye analyzed seriously: "Anyway, no matter who comes into the penalty area, I will pass the ball to him."

Let’s take a look at the system first.

[Task progress: Goal (1/2), Threatening pass (7/10)]

Benfica's Eagle is interesting, but Tang Ye still has 1 goal and 3 threatening passes to complete.

Tang Ye will never be merciful.

Benfica can only pray that their Eagles save them!
“Les Grandesquipes! (French) The great team”

"The Champions! (UK) Champions"

"A grand party!"

The familiar UEFA Champions League theme song came into his ears, and Tang Ye walked out of the passage holding the caddy in his hand.

Manchester United’s red flag is flying in the stadium!
"China Central Radio and Television! This is a live broadcast for you..."

"Now let me introduce the starting lineups for both teams in this game, starting with the home team Manchester United"

Before the game started, the CCTV screen first showed Manchester United's formation.

Ashley Young has a "C" next to his number.

Because Carrick did not play, second captain Ashley Young was the captain on the field today.

But that's not what the fans care about.

Fans took notice of Manchester United's formation.

4312, Tang Ye and Rashford and Mkhitaryan in the front form an inverted triangle.

According to the memory of the fans in the live broadcast room, this should be the first time that Ten Hag used this formation.

The Champions League group stage is used for scientific research.

Teng Sheng is very brave!

Then it’s the visiting team Benfica!

Benfica (4-2-3-1)

Goalkeeper: Svilar

Defenders: Pereira, Luisão, Ruben Dias, Grimaldo
Midfielders: Fessa, Pizzi, Augusto

Forwards: Salvio, Jimenez, Goncalves
Head coach: Victoria
A simple comparison will show that Benfica's lineup in this game is exactly the same as the previous game.

"HeyTom, shoelaces!"

At Rashford's reminder, Tang Ye squatted down and tied his shoelaces.

Then the game began!

"China Central Radio and Television! This is..."

"As you can see, at the beginning of the game, Benfica took advantage of the kick-off opportunity to launch a quick attack on Manchester United"

"Gonsalves!"

"Get the ball in front!"

"Rodri's interception was a mistake!"
