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

Chapter 309: Against Brighton, Manchester United players didn’t wear shooting boots?
The red Manchester United bus slowly drove into Old Trafford Stadium!
“And the big great Christ group take the powers of this beat～ (The past difficulties have helped us to pick ourselves up again)”

"And the reds go marching on!"

"Glory~ Glory~ Man United!"

"Glory~Glory~ Man United!"

Glory Glory Man United……

Tang Ye sang softly along with the fans' songs.

Since the Europa League final last season, Tang Ye would hear this song on the court from time to time.

Although he hadn’t tried to memorize it, he could now sing the entire song!
Tom has a good memory, after all, he is a top student!

Tang Ye told Rodri that he could recite the team song, and the latter smiled and shook his head: "Manchester United has many cheering songs."

"And that thing...we'll nerver die"

Rodri tried hard to sing another team song.

There is absolutely no sense of melody, but the pronunciation is very clear.

Tang Ye felt like...

Um, stiff?

"I think I've heard this before. Manchester United has many team songs."

Tang Ye nodded.

Manchester United has many team songs, but he has plenty of time.

Just learn slowly.

It took Tang Ye a long time to learn the previous "Yellow Submarine".

Putting aside the matter of learning the team song, Tang Ye noticed something new.

Patting Rodrigo's arm: "Rod, your sense of rhythm in singing is too bad, you need to listen to more songs"

"By the way, Rhodes, you and I came here at about the same time, why do you know so much more than me?"

Tang Ye suddenly discovered something.

It is obvious that he and Rodri came to Manchester United at about the same time (strictly speaking, Tang Ye came a week earlier than Rodri), but Rodri knows much more about Manchester United than Tang Ye.

“It’s very simple. I saw it online.”

Rodri pulled out his phone from his pocket: "The Internet is very useful, maybe you can do some more research?"

“I have always been using the Internet.”

"Come on Tom, playing as Man Utd on FIFA is not going to increase your knowledge of Man Utd, haha!"

……

Top: Manchester United VS Brighton starting lineup, led by Rashford Stephens, Tang Ye PK Gross.

"China Central Radio and Television! This is a live broadcast for you..."

"The referee is looking at his watch!"

"The game has started. Now let me introduce the starting lineups for both teams!"

"First of all, for Manchester United, Tang Ye has returned to the starting lineup after being a substitute in the Champions League..."

"Then it's Brighton away!"

After the game started, the director gave a shot of Ibrahimovic in the stands.

Although there is no official news yet, English football reporters have already photographed Ibrahimovic appearing near the Carrington base.

"Ibrahimovic looked in a good mood. He even ran a few steps after getting out of the car. He should have recovered well," these were the original words of the Sun reporter.

He should have recovered, but we don't know when he will be able to play.

It took Luke Shaw more than half a month from resuming training to entering the match squad.

However...considering that Manchester United is currently short of strikers, Ibrahimovic may need less time.

The fans are already looking forward to it.

As we all know, Tang Ye is best at cooperating with center forwards!

The game is in the 18st minute!

Brighton's attack, Tang Ye retreated to the back line and was observing.

The opposing offensive player did not pass the ball very quickly, which gave Tang Ye enough time to think.

Propper, Stephens, and Gross...

After a little calculation, Tang Ye chose to run towards Salto.

Stuck in the Salto location!

The reason why Tang Ye made this choice was mainly because if Gross passed the ball back to Stephens, Salto would be the only receiving point.

Snapped!
Gross actually passed the ball back!

Stephens, who had the ball, was pressed by Rodri and Mata.

I wanted to find the ball point, but I couldn't find it.

A hurried pass!
Stephens passed the ball directly to Tang Ye's feet!

Well!
Knowing this was an opportunity, Tang Ye protected the ball with his back turned.

Step on the ball with your right foot and pull it.

Turn around!

Salto seemed a little anxious and bumped into Tang Ye directly with his body.

I rely on!

Feeling the sudden impact from behind, Tang Ye realized that the situation was not good.

Pass the ball back to Luke Shaw quickly!
Then run forward!
Luke Shaw first stepped on the ball, waited for Tang Ye to run to the right position and then passed the ball through.

Tang Ye got the ball again!
"A one-two combination between Manchester United's left midfielder and defender"

"Tang Ye is very fast in advancing with the ball!"

Dribble the ball forward quickly while monitoring the situation in the penalty area.

Snapped!
[De Bruyne 45-degree cross level 5: Replica (surpassed state)]

Proficiency: 68/3500
It was a 45-degree cross, but unlike previous 45-degree crosses, Tang Ye's pass was relatively low.

The Brighton defender stretched out his foot, but failed to reach the ball!

Tang Ye's pass hit the edge of the penalty area, bounced back and flew into the penalty area.

Penalty spot!
Martial!
The Manchester United center forward raised his right foot and wanted to kick the ball into the goal.

But it was less than 20 centimeters away and Martial failed to touch Tang Ye's pass.

"call!"

Coach Hughton let out a long sigh, turned around and walked towards the bench, then walked back.

hiss--

In the penalty area, Martial gave Tang Ye a thumbs up, regretting his previous action.

If he had started half a second earlier, he would definitely have been able to hit the ball!
"it's okay no problem"

Tang Ye responded with a thumbs-up and then quickly retreated.

In fact, Martial was just about to touch the ball.

It's really a pity.

But it's okay.

Tang Ye returned to his own half and looked around while walking.

Now that Manchester United has taken the initiative on the field, scoring a goal is only a matter of time!
Dongqiudi real-time battle report: In the 32nd minute, Valencia passed the ball to Tang Ye, but Tang Ye's long shot was saved by the goalkeeper.

[King Tang still needs to practice his shooting]

[It's not just Tang Ye, Manchester United generally felt bad about shooting today, Martial has already wasted 3 chances]

[So when will Ibrahimovic return? I want to see the cooperation between our King of Football and the center forward]

[I'm impressed. Brighton's goalkeeper reacts so quickly? ]

Manchester United launched continuous attacks in the frontcourt, but they were all resolved one by one by Brighton's defenders.

This made the fans a little anxious.

Manchester United is currently ranked second in the Premier League, while Brighton is only ranked 2th.

In Ten Hag's words, teams ranked higher in the league should beat teams ranked lower in the league.

But the situation in this game does not seem to be like this. So far, the most threatening shot came from Brighton striker Glenn Murray!

Ten Hag walked back and forth on the sidelines with his hands in his pockets without saying a word.

If there is a problem with the team's tactics, he can also shout from the sidelines and ask the players on the field to adjust their tactics.

But according to Ten Hag's judgment, Manchester United's tactical execution in this game was relatively outstanding.

The biggest problem is the shooting state.

Rashford and Martial's finishing today was really bad!

It was almost 40 minutes and Manchester United was still attacking.

"Charge, charge!"

"Fuck him, fuck him!"

"Hurry up, wow!"

The fans directed Rodri who was dribbling the ball on the right side, and the Manchester United midfielder first cooperated with Mata in the face of defense.

Brighton did a good job of defending the flanks, and Tang Ye took a look and prepared to retreat to provide support.

However, Tang Ye had just started to move when Mata successfully passed the ball to Mkhitaryan with a very imaginative heel kick.

Manchester United broke through Brighton's defense!
Hurry up and move forward! This was Tang Ye’s first reaction.

Mkhitaryan must go down the flank, and Tang Ye must help his teammates create more passing opportunities.

"Mkhitaryan runs towards the baseline"

"Take a look at Tang Ye's position..."

"Tang Ye has already started to move forward!"

Tang Ye's reaction was still quick, but he was immediately blocked by Brighton's defender.

There is no way, Mkhitaryan can only rely on himself first.

Getting closer little by little... changing direction and slowing down!
Mkhitaryan tried to use his ability to get into the penalty area, but was quickly brought down by Brighton's defender.

"Is it a penalty?"

"Dunk did trip Mkhitaryan, but the location where Mkhitaryan fell is not very clear..."

"The referee gave a free kick!"

When he fell to the ground, Mkhitaryan had not yet fully entered the penalty area, which is a bit of a pity.

After adjusting his breathing, Tang Ye walked over and pulled up the fallen Mkhitaryan, then picked up the ball on the ground.

Rashford ran over quickly.

Tang Ye and Rashford are the two players with the best direct free kick level in Manchester United.

Tang Ye quickly spun the ball in his hands twice, then placed it on the white line drawn by the referee.

Back away slowly.

Look at the situation in the penalty area. The human wall is on the right and the goalkeeper is defending the left.

The best option for this ball is probably to shoot directly!
Beep!
The referee blew the whistle and Tang Ye gave a thumbs up.

Shake your hands and start running!
Use your left foot!
boom!
[Ronaldo's tomahawk free kick]!
The ball rushed out and passed over the human wall.

Still without any rotation, it reached the highest point and then began to descend.

The target is the blind corner at the upper right end of the goal!
The goalkeeper stood still, it was definitely too late for him to save the ball.

There was no sound because Tang Ye's free kick hit the net of the goal.

"I rely on!"

Holding his head, Tang Ye shouted loudly.

"Well, the quality of this free kick can be said to be very high, and it was taken with the left foot."

Tang Ye's direct free kick level has improved greatly compared to last season in La Liga, and this ball was indeed played well.

But the location of this free kick was too close to the goal, causing Tang Ye to lift the ball very high in order to get over the wall of people.

It went over the wall, but also over the goal.

"Brighton! Brighton!"

The visiting fans cheered loudly.

The fans will not analyze in detail what went wrong with Tang Ye's free kick, they only know that Tang Ye did not score the goal.

This is absolutely great news for Brighton.

“Beep, beep!!!”

The first half of the game is over!

Holding his waist with both hands, he let out a long breath, then shook his head, and clapped his hands at Rodri who was walking towards him.

"I shouldn't have hit the elevator with that ball just now"

Tang Ye's tone was a little disappointed: "The human wall is too close to me, we should play tactical football"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Rodri put his hand on Tang Ye's shoulder: "Don't think about the free kick, the game is not over yet, focus on the second half"

Tang Ye felt that what Rodri said made sense, so he took a few deep breaths and temporarily put aside what happened in the first half.

Walking towards the player tunnel, Tang Ye heard the fans in the stands shouting his name.

"Come on, Tom!"

"come on! Come on!"

Half-time report from the Football Emperor: Manchester United had 8 shots at first half but to no avail, temporarily tied with Brighton 0:0, Tang Ye created 11 attacking opportunities + the free kick was just a hair’s breadth away.

【《11 offensive chances created》】

[The entire Brighton team created fewer offensive opportunities than GGBond alone]

[But it’s useless if you can’t score a goal]

[For wasting Tom's scoring opportunity, Rashford and Martial will probably be kept on the bench by Teng Sheng]

Just because I wasted the opportunity created by Tang Ye, I have to sit on the bench?

This is of course just a joke among the fans.

Ten Hag is not that kind of villain!

"We didn't score in the first half, but we created a lot of chances. We created a lot of chances, which shows that we were the side with absolute dominance."

In the middle of the home team's locker room, Ten Hag gave a passionate speech.

Tang Ye listened very carefully.

Compared to tactical analysis, he actually prefers to listen to Ten Hag's inspiring speeches.

Very magical feeling.

Whenever the team’s morale is low, the respected Mr. Eric can always make the players full of confidence through his speeches!
Walking slowly in the locker room, Ten Hag looked at Tang Ye.

Ok?
Tang Ye suddenly became nervous.

Then Ten Hag turned his attention to Rashford next to Tang Ye, which made Tang Ye breathe a sigh of relief.

"Marcus, you wasted a lot of chances. You may feel that your shot was not good today, but you must not play the second half of the game with this feeling."

"We'll score because we pretty much controlled the game"

Ten Hag spread his hands, while Rashford, who was sitting in his seat, had a serious expression on his face.

With less than 4 minutes left before the start of the second half, Ten Hag asked all Manchester United players to come to the middle of the locker room.

“We will win, that’s the truth.”

Looking at Tang Ye, the latter was ready.

Take a deep breath!

"3, 2, 1!"

"Manchester!"

"go ahead!"

……

In the player tunnel, Tang Ye shook hands with the Brighton players who greeted him one by one.

Although the first half of the game was a bit difficult, the opposing players were very friendly, which made Tang Ye in a good mood.

Noticing Rashford who had been silent, Tang Ye patted the Manchester United winger on the back and said, "Come on Marcus, I'll pass the ball to you."

"Well, come on"

The second half of the game begins!

The home team Manchester United did not make any personnel changes, and the same was true for Brighton.

Both coaches felt that there was no problem with their tactics in the first half, so it all depended on who would have the last laugh.

52th minute!

Snapped!
De Gea kicked the ball with a long kick, and the front field fell into chaos almost instantly.

There were many Brighton players in front, and Tang Ye ran forward alone.

Feeling a little panicked, I looked back and found that Rodri was following me, which made me feel a lot more comfortable.

Take Rhodes forward!
Looking up for De Gea's pass, Tang Ye jumped up.

Not reaching!

The ball hit the chest of Brighton's attacking midfielder, who then controlled it with his feet.

"there!"

Tang Ye pointed at Salto, signaling Rodri to steal the ball, and then he ran towards the player with the ball.

Manchester United blocked almost all passing routes of Brighton's players with the ball!

Tang Ye concentrates!
The moment Gross was about to pass the ball!
Snapped!
Tang Ye fell to the ground quickly and Gross's pass hit him.

"Beautiful! Tang Ye!"

The commentator exclaimed, but this was obviously not the end yet, and Tang Ye, who was lying on the ground, quickly stood up.

Without any observation, the ball was passed directly to the front court!

To Martial!

Martial passes the ball to Rashford again!

"Manchester United's attack was strong, but Brighton's defense at the back was still relatively good."

"It will be difficult for Manchester United to find opportunities..."

"Rashford rushed straight into the penalty area!"

Cheers broke out from the stands as Rashford dribbled into the penalty area alone and then passed the ball to Martial who was running in the middle.

Martial just takes the ball and shoots!
“GOOO—AAAAA—LLLLLL!!!!”

The ball went in!
Anthony Martial's goal!
