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

Chapter 315: Winning streak against Arsenal, first substitute in the Champions League
Pinned by the Football Emperor: Arsenal vs. Manchester United, the 15th round of the Premier League is in progress, the current score is 1:2, Arsenal is behind.

"In fact, apart from the two central defenders, the performance of other Arsenal players is still good"

"Yes, but in a game like Arsenal and Manchester United, one or two players' mistakes can sometimes be fatal."

"We say that Manchester United's offense this season has a characteristic, that is decisiveness. You think Manchester United is in control of the ball, but in fact you don't know when their offense will be launched. This is what Arsenal needs to deal with."

At the beginning of the second half, the commentator analyzed some of the problems encountered by the two teams in the first half of the game.

Soon the commentators and fans discovered that Arsenal's tactics had been adjusted to a great extent after the second half of the game.

Ozil and Sanchez's positions were advanced, which means that Arsenal's pressing in the frontcourt will become more intense in the next period of time!
Just in the 51st minute, Ramsey cooperated with Lacazette and Sanchez in the frontcourt and successfully blocked Smalling's passing route.

There was no choice but Smalling to pass the ball back.

":Hand it over to De Gea who comes over to take over!

And at the moment Smalling passed the ball back, Lacazette suddenly changed direction and rushed towards De Gea.

Snapped!
De Gea kicked the ball directly out of the sideline.

"Oh!"

Seeing a chance to equalize the score, the Arsenal fans in the stands suddenly became excited.

Passing the ball out from the back has always been a problem for Manchester United.

Arsenal can completely use Manchester United's problems to target them!
“Got the red and whites all showing them how~”

"Come on you Arsenal, yeah you are the Hot Stuff!"

The camera is focused on Ten Hag!
The Manchester United coach is feeling the pressure now!

In the 62nd minute, Arsenal still controlled the ball in the frontcourt.

Bellerin took the ball and passed it to Ozil.

Ozil dribbles the ball in the frontcourt himself!

Controlling the ball forward, facing Rodri's pressing, Ozil showed off his dribbling rhythm and successfully got rid of Rodri.

Snapped!
Pass the ball into the penalty area!
Lacazette!

Lacazette stopped the ball with his foot in the penalty area.

Followed by a push shot!
Snapped!
De Gea sat down on the spot and successfully blocked Lacazette's shot.

Lacazette wanted to make another shot, but De Gea jumped out again and grabbed the ball.

"hiss……"

Taking a deep breath, although he was still a long distance away from the goal, Tang Ye could feel the thrill of this defense.

Arsenal almost equalized the score!
Think about it carefully.

Manchester United is still leading by one goal, and if they can hold on, they will get three points.

He will have to participate in more defenses in the next period of time!

A glance in the direction of Ten Hag.

"Pull back the defense line, pull back!"

"Winger, please take over!"

Mr. Eric and Tom had the same idea.

Mr. Eric wants more defense too!
"Give it to me!"

Tang Ye accelerated forward in the middle and caught the ball.

There was Ozil defending in front, and Tang Ye stepped on the ball very calmly.

He pretended to pass the ball to the side, but when Ozil came over, Tang Ye suddenly rushed to the front with a fried meatball.

Ozil passed his younger brother Rod.

As the big brother, Tom needs to stand up at this time!

Revenge for Rod!
Keep going towards the restricted area!

"Tang Ye played very strongly"

"Rashford is already on his way!"

Snapped!
[De Bruyne's long-corner shot lv5: Reproduction]!
Tang Ye, who broke free from the defense, chose to shoot himself.

The angle is ok.

But Monreal headbutted it!

"I rely on..."

He shook his head and then clapped his hands with Rodri who was running up from behind.

What a pity this goal is!

Corner kick opportunity for Manchester United!
Tang Ye was hiding at the back end of the arc, and Ozil was pulling at his clothes.

Tang Ye didn't feel very comfortable, so he pulled it back.

Before the two of them could start arguing, Manchester United took a corner kick.

"Back a little, back a little!"

Tang Ye shouted loudly.

Mkhitaryan rushed into the penalty area from the back point.

Jump up!
boom!
The ball went in!
"Beautiful Henrik!"

Reacting quickly, Tang Ye rushed towards Mkhitaryan, and the two ran towards the corner flagpole together.

A perfect corner kick.

Manchester United widened the score gap!
"Great job, Henrik!"

Following Ashley Young's example, Tangye grabbed Mkhitaryan's head tightly and shouted loudly.

But for some reason, Tang Ye felt that he did not shout out with the same momentum as Ashley Yang.

"..."

Wenger shook his head slowly, his expression full of helplessness.

In the second half, they were trying to reduce Manchester United's offensive opportunities as much as possible, but the condition of Arsenal's defenders was really not good today.

"United! United! United!"

After 75 minutes, Ten Hag replaced Martial with Ibrahimovic, and then replaced Mkhitaryan with Carrick.

Start playing defense!
Moving towards the backcourt little by little, Tang Ye was looking for the right opportunity!

Sanchez seems to be less than 1 meters tall, and it seems that his ability to fight should not be very strong.

That's it now!
boom!
Suddenly taking a step forward, Tang Ye successfully blocked the ball in front of Sanchez and then passed it back to Smalling.

After 80 minutes, Manchester United was still leading by 2 goals, and the game could be said to be basically secure.

At the 90th minute, the fourth official announced the injury time of the game.

3 minutes!

Just as the injury time came to an end, Arsenal successfully launched their attack.

Ramsey lofted the ball high into the penalty area from the middle.

To Sanchez!
Snapped!
The ball went in!
Sanchez scored and Arsenal equalized in the final moments of the game!
But they are still lagging behind.

……

Football report: Manchester United beat Arsenal 3:2 away to maintain their winning streak and catch up with Manchester City in the standings.

[When will the best player of last month be announced? Is there no result yet? ]

[Manchester United is awesome, they keep winning]

[Manchester City is still number one, damn]

Manchester United has performed very well this season, having only drawn 15 of the 3 Premier League games so far and winning the other 12.

This result would have definitely placed us at the top of the standings in previous seasons.

But not this season!
Manchester City's performance is even better than Manchester United's.

14 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses, the total points are 43!
Attached is the Premier League standings (as of round 15)
1. Manchester City, 43 points.

2. Manchester United, 39 points.

3. Liverpool, 32 points.

4. Tottenham, 29 points.

5. Chelsea, 28 points.

A reporter from The Guardian commented on this.

"Currently, the gap between Manchester United and Manchester City is only 4 points, so the 16-point battle in the 6th round of the Manchester derby will be very important. If Guardiola can lead Manchester City to beat Manchester United, then they can sit firmly on the throne of the first place in the league."

"On the contrary, if Manchester United beat Manchester City, then Manchester City's position will be very dangerous, because after Manchester United wins, their gap will be reduced to 1 point."

There is still more than a week to go before the Manchester derby between Manchester United and Manchester City, but fans around the world are already looking forward to the game.

The showdown between the two best Premier League teams this season!
Football Emperor event preview: In the Manchester derby in the early morning of December 12, the unbeaten Red Devils will face the unbeaten Blue Moon at home.

……

"43 points..."

On the return bus, Tang Ye frowned.

I originally thought that Manchester United had already secured first place in the league with this amount of points.

I didn’t expect there to be experts!
"Guardiola is outstanding"

Rodri and Tang Ye said: "Manchester City has always been ranked first in the standings, so I often watch their games. Basically, their ball possession rate is above 70% in every game."

"70%?"

Tang Ye's eyes lit up.

Of course he knows how terrifying 70% ball possession is.

This ball possession rate means that Manchester City is dominating their opponents in every game.

hiss--

Manchester United is not a team that is good at controlling the ball, so it is really a headache to face a team like Manchester City that is good at passing and controlling the ball.

But remember that Manchester United still has a game before playing against Manchester City?
After chewing the gum, Tang Ye took out his cell phone and looked at it.

On December 12, three days later, Manchester United will face Feyenoord at Old Trafford in the final round of the Champions League group stage. Before the end of this game, Manchester United has won five consecutive games and advanced to the next round.

However, Tang Ye will still take the match against Feyenoord very seriously.

Because he has a series of tasks!
[Serial Mission Phase 3]

Goal: Get 6 assists in the Champions League.

Current progress: 0/6
……

[You bought Ronaldo's broccoli +3]

[You purchased Pogba's hair mud +4]

Practice hard!

Still practice hard!

In order to prepare for the upcoming Manchester derby with Manchester City, Tang Ye has been training very seriously these days.

real.

Perhaps hard work and practice are Tom's best qualities!
Well, take a look at your current growth template.

[De Bruyne through pass level 4: realistic]

Proficiency: 744/1000
[De Bruyne standard long pass lv4: realistic]

Proficiency: 835/1200
The template must be upgraded to the next level before Tang Ye’s attributes will increase?
In fact, this is a wrong idea.

The impact of the growth template on Tangye’s attributes changes in real time.

As long as he gains proficiency, Tang Ye's passing attribute will increase, but it is not as obvious as when the template is upgraded.

Tang Ye’s current passing attribute is 89. There is a gap between 89 and 90, which cannot be crossed in a short time.

What Tang Ye can do is to move towards 90 as much as possible.

Infinitely close to 90, combined with the 10% accuracy bonus for the first kick, Tang Ye can kick a pass with 99 attributes during the game!
"Everyone thinks he's a lazy pig, but they're all wrong"

Looking at Tom celebrating his goal with Ibrahimovic on the field, Ten Hag had a smile on his face: "When I first saw Tom, I knew he could be a star because there was a desire for victory in his eyes."

This……

Van der Gahe took a deep breath, recalling Tang Ye's sleepy look during his time in Utrecht: "Are you sure, Eric?"

"Sure, of course."

"I bought him, that's the best explanation. I never buy players who have no ability. If I buy him, it proves that he has the ability."

"But, but..."

Van der Garhe looked a little hesitant: "We need to trace it back"

Manchester United's assistant coach is a very rigorous person and he is more thoughtful than Ten Hag when considering issues.

"Trace back? Trace back what?"

"Actually... Eric, I think you were the one who gave Tom the nickname Lazy Pig."

"Oh, really?"

Ten Hahe touched his nose, looking a little embarrassed.

"That's right."

"I let everyone think he was a lazy pig, so that our opponents would let down their guard"

"Actually, you know me. I never thought Tom was a lazy pig."

When they were playing for Utrecht, Ten Hag called Tom a lazy pig and even turned off the heating in Tom's dormitory.

Was this what Eric meant?
no.

This was Eric's plan.

When the opposing fans really think Tom is a lazy pig, Ten Hag will take Tom to slap them in the face!
This is the bond between a mentor and his beloved disciple!
Super bond!

Snapped!
[De Bruyne standard long pass lv4: realistic]

Proficiency: 884/1200
The effects of broccoli and hair puree are very obvious. After half a training session, Tang Ye's proficiency in standard long pass skills has increased significantly.

His next lv5 skill is very close!

“Tom, that’s awesome!”

Walking over, Mata patted Tang Ye on the back.

What Uncle Mata was talking about was of course Tang Ye’s performance in the passing training class just now.

Tang Ye performs very well in every long pass class because this is indeed what he is best at.

“Haha, thanks Mata”

Tang Ye reached out and patted Mata on the back as well.

Gathering in front of Ten Hag, Tang Ye was thinking about today's training.

Ibrahimovic's return from injury has given Manchester United a new fulcrum in the frontcourt, which means that Tang Ye needs to adjust his passing strategy slightly.

Maybe passing the ball a little higher would be a good option?

"Our training today was pretty good..."

Ten Hag made a summary and briefly talked about the problems exposed by Rashford and Martial in today's training.

Then there is the starting lineup for tomorrow's game.

"The goalkeeper is Romero"

Hearing the goalkeeper's name, Tang Ye immediately raised his head and looked at Van der Gag.

As expected, Tang Ye did not hear his name when the starting midfielder was announced.

This……

Ten Hag noticed Tang Ye's strange expression, so he took a step forward and stood between Tang Ye and Van der Gag: "Tomorrow is the last round of the Champions League. Since we have already secured the first place in the group, we will not play at our full strength in tomorrow's game."

"Four days later, the Manchester derby four days later is the most important!"

As Ten Hag said, the three points from the last game against Feyenoord are dispensable for Manchester United.

With these 3 points, Manchester United is first in the group.

Even without these three points, Manchester United would still be first in the group.

From this perspective, instead of wasting Tang Ye's physical strength in an unimportant game, it is better for Tang Ye to save all his energy for the Manchester derby.

That game is the most important!
"..."

Tang Ye didn't say anything. After Ten Hahe left, Tang Ye sat on a chair in the rest area.

"Damn it, Rod, I'm not even in the starting lineup"

Tang Ye was a little depressed, because judging from the tone of Ten Hag's voice, he might not even give him a chance to play.

This is very uncomfortable!
"It doesn't matter. The match against Feyenoord is not crucial. It's a good thing not to start."

Rodri was not in a hurry to go to the cafeteria. He sat next to Tang Ye and started chatting.

Rodri was also not in the starting lineup against Feyenoord, but based on his own judgment, Rodri thought this was a good thing.

First of all, Tang Ye is the absolute core of the team in Ten Hag's mind. This is the truth of playing at Manchester United. Rodri realized this truth not long after he came to the team.

Then think on the basis of truth.

Tang Ye and Rodri are basically tied together. In the games where Tang Ye starts, Rodri is also the starter. In the games where Tang Ye is a substitute, Rodri is also a substitute.

What does this mean?
This shows that Rodri’s tactical position in Ten Hag’s heart is very important!
This is just like being divided into classes at school.

There are 1 classes from 10 to 10. You don’t know whether Class 1 is the key class or Class 10 is the key class. At this time, just find the top student in the grade. The class where the top student is located is the key class of this grade.

Tom is the top student in Manchester United's class, while Rodri and Tang Ye are on the bench.

Then the reason is very clear.

The substitute players in the match against Feyenoord are the main players of Manchester United in Ten Hag's mind!
Looking at Rodri's happy expression, Tang Ye sighed.

Rhodes didn't have a system, so he couldn't understand Tom's pain.

He still has a series of tasks in the Champions League to complete, and Tang Ye needs the reward for this task!

Taking a look at the window of the head coach's office on the second floor of the office building, Tang Ye hesitated.

hiss--

If he asked Mr. Eric for the starting position, Mr. Eric would give it to him without any surprise.

But after thinking about it carefully, Tang Ye finally gave up the idea.

Ten Hag is right.

Marcus, Mata, Henrik, and Rod are all Tom's teammates. They are all good guys. These good guys and Tom form a team, and Tom is a part of it.

Escrivá had said long ago that the team is a whole, so Tang Ye should first think about the problem from the perspective of the team.

The Manchester derby is in 4 days!
Tom needs to have a good rest, give his best performance, and face the powerful Manchester City with his friends!

As for the mission rewards...

If he had just got the system a year or two years ago, Tang Ye might have really asked Ten Hag for the starting position in order to complete the task.

But now he won't.

Tom has grown up a lot and he understands some things!
The front page headline of The Sun - Manchester United's match against Feyenoord in the 6th round of the Champions League will be played at home and there is no need to enter the Netherlands, so Ten Hag can play and command. This will be his fourth Champions League game.

……

The time has come to the day of the game.

The final round of the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League group stage is about to begin!
Pinned: Manchester United announced the starting lineup for the match against Feyenoord, with Ashley Young leading the team and Rashford on the bench.

Tang Ye, Rashford, and Ibrahimovic who just recovered from injury were all on the bench. It was obvious that Manchester United's starting lineup was meant to be a bad one.

Fans lamented in the comment section that they couldn't see GGBond perform, but if they think rationally, everyone can understand Manchester United's approach.

The camera was focused on Tang Ye, Rodri, and Rashford who were sitting together on the bench.

Seeing his head appear on the big screen, Tang Ye quickly found the location of the camera and then patted Rodri and Rashford on the shoulders respectively.

"Rod, Marcus, look up!"
