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

Chapter 366: The second decisive battle in the Premier League, we must not let Manchester City win the championship early!

Football Report: Manchester City lost 0-1 to Bayern Munich in the away game, suffering their first defeat in the Champions League knockout stage, and Sterling missed the winning goal. (Comments: 29812)

【Manchester City lost】

【Bayern is awesome! 】

[So I feel that Manchester United still has a great chance. Didn’t Bayern play against Manchester United in the group stage?]

[Manchester United > Bayern, Bayern > Manchester City, so Manchester United > Manchester City! ]

Having just experienced a draw, fans are worried that the bad mentality will affect the outcome of the next Manchester derby.

But now it seems that it is not just Manchester United whose mentality will be affected.

Manchester City have also suffered misfortune in the Champions League, and their draw with Manchester United was different.

Manchester City lost the game directly!

"Pep, do you think this defeat against Bayern will affect the next league game against Manchester United?"

When facing the interview with reporters, Guardiola's expression was not very good.

Manchester City’s form this season is simply amazing, so the team’s plan is to win the league and Champions League double.

But now Manchester United is chasing them in the league, and they were beaten 0:1 by Bayern in the Champions League, so the pressure on Manchester City can be said to be quite great.

"Well... we didn't expect to lose this game. Of course, it's hard for me and the players to accept this result."

"But we will try not to let the result of this game affect the game against Manchester United. Manchester United is definitely an opponent that needs respect. You know, if we don't play our best, they may knock us down."

Click, click, click!

[Ultimate Mission: Get as many championships as possible. The quality of the rewards ultimately depends on the number of championships you win before the end of this season]

[Reward: Weakness Talent Optimization (Once in a Lifetime/Attracting Everyone’s Attention/Stunning)]

"..."

Sitting on his gaming chair at night, Tang Ye stared at his system panel in a daze.

Manchester United's schedule in April is very difficult, which gave Tang Ye an idea.

That means just collect the reward now!

Raise your talent in your weak areas to a once-in-a-lifetime level!
If he draws the physical confrontation talent, then Tang Ye will have the same physical ability limit as his younger brother Rhodes.

If you think about it carefully, if Tang Ye had the same physical ability as Rhodes, his performance in the game could almost be raised to a higher level!
Of course, whether or not to collect the reward in advance is a very important issue for Tang Ye, so he needs to think about it carefully.

Many people on the Internet say that you shouldn’t make important decisions at night.

It's night time now. If Tang Ye wants to make a decision, he'd better wait until daytime!
At the same time at the Carrington base, several members of the Manchester United coaching team stayed in the office after returning in the afternoon.

The decisive battle with Manchester City is about to come, and Ten Hag now needs to adjust the team's tactics quickly.

The methods to deal with Juventus and Manchester City are quite different. The Manchester United coaching staff needs to work out the main tactics and starting lineup tonight so that the players can start adjusting directly during training tomorrow.

Lying on the sofa, Vandergaard held the notebook over his face.

It can be seen that the Manchester United assistant coach is now unable to bear it anymore.

"Honestly, Eric, I think this is the best way for us right now. And... you know, even if we draw with Manchester City, our chances of turning the tables on them are slim."

Van der Gaag started studying the schedules of the two Manchester teams very early.

In April, Manchester United will have to face three BIG4 teams: Manchester City, Tottenham and Arsenal.

Manchester City's next opponents will be mid-tier or even bottom-tier teams in the league.

With the competitive ability that Manchester City has shown this season, there is basically no chance that they will lose against those bottom-tier teams!
"No, no, no, Michel. I know what you said, but we have to do our best, okay? What we want is to win, beat Manchester City. It's difficult, but we can do it."

Ten Hag had no expression on his face: "I never think we are worse than Manchester City. No team is invincible. We have the hope of beating any team, Tottenham, Juventus, or Manchester City. We have the chance to beat them, but some games will be a little more difficult."

"..."

Vandergaard took the notebook off his face.

He was somewhat moved by Ten Hag's fearless attitude in the face of a difficult schedule.

"I understand your thoughts, Eric, I always understand you, but you have to know that you are very tired now. People can only make good decisions when they are energetic. The details you modify now may not be correct for the team."

"We don't have time to wait, the game starts on the afternoon of the 7th"

Ten Hag stares into Van der Gag's eyes: "If no one thinks we can beat Manchester City, then we must win"

"Eric, listen to me first. My idea is to focus on defense, reduce the ball possession rate to less than 30%, even 20% is okay, and then look for opportunities from counterattacks. Marcus was substituted early in the last game, so there will be no problem with his physical strength against Manchester City."

"Defense again"

Ten Hag spread his hands: "Am I worse than Guardiola? Every time I play against Manchester City, they let me play defense. Am I worse than Guardiola or what?"

"No, Eric, I didn't say you're worse than Guardiola, I just said..."

"Stop it, Michelle!"

Ten Hag directly interrupted Van der Gag.

"The match against Juventus has shown that our pure defense is only stronger than against weaker teams. We will definitely have problems against strong teams."

"We need to let Tom control the ball in midfield. Both he and Mata can control the ball. This is the key to winning against Manchester City!"

……

The next day, when he returned to the base, Tang Ye took the opportunity to warm up and found Craig.

This is Manchester United's chief fitness coach. Tang Ye admires this guy very much.

If you have any questions, you can definitely go to him!
"Mr. Craig!"

Tang Ye and Craig bumped fists, then sat down next to the latter.

"What's wrong Tom?"

Craig had a smile on his face.

He really likes Tom.

He is good at playing football and speaks nicely.

Such a comprehensive player is rare anywhere!

"Well, it's not a big deal, Mr. Craig. I just want to ask, if I have the physical talent of Rod and Scott (McTominay), will it be easier to train? I mean, with the same training, will my muscles grow faster?"

hiss--

Craig took a deep breath and lowered his head to think.

“…I don’t know what to say.”

Craig raised his head and looked at Tang Ye: "Actually, Tom, you don't need to envy other people's physical talents. You should focus on the ball. Your talent with the ball is the best in our team."

Mr. Craig thought Tang Ye was envious of his teammates' strong bodies.

Tom did envy his teammates' bodies.

But envy is not the point of this exchange.

"Mr. Craig, what I mean is, if, if I had that kind of talent, would I suddenly become very strong?"

"For example, my body suddenly developed and became very strong."

"this problem……"

Craig pinched his chin with his hand: "Even if you have good physical talent, it takes time to grow muscles."

"It will take at least a month for your muscles to grow noticeably, and it will take a month for your body to adapt to the muscles. Even if you develop late, like Michael Jordan, you still need time."

"That's it..."

It is already April. According to Mr. Craig's two-month theory, even if Tang Ye has obtained a once-in-a-lifetime physical talent, he will have to wait until early June to truly usher in a stage of improvement.

From this perspective, it is indeed not a wise thing to claim the reward in advance.

"Thank you, Mr. Craig."

Tang Ye and Craig bumped fists and then ran away.

"Hey Tom!"

"Focus on your strengths! You have to take your time with your physical body, don't rush it!"

Craig was really afraid that Tang Ye would be anxious to become stronger and blindly increase the weight of his training.

What if Tom gets injured in the gym?

"hiss……"

Thinking of this, Craig felt a chill on his back.

This is Ten Hag's murderous intent!
Craig has been at Manchester United for more than 10 years.

But he has a feeling that if Tom had an accident in the gym, Eric would not hesitate to find a new fitness coach for Manchester United!
The workplace is cruel.

When the head coach is a player's bootlicker, you must protect the player.

Otherwise his licking of the dog will make you very uncomfortable!
……

Premier League official: Salah was elected the Premier League's best player in March, and Ten Hag was elected the best coach of the month.

Salah defeated Tang Ye with 6 goals and 1 assist. To be honest, it is a pity.

However, as the league reaches its final stages, awards like Player of the Month and Coach of the Month no longer have much meaning.

What we need to consider is whether we can play the last few games well.

"I just won the Coach of the Month award, but I won't say it because it's not something worth bragging about."

Ten Hag walks back and forth in front of the players on the training ground.

"But, but, Mr. Eric, you just said"

Tang Ye reminded him quietly, but was glared at by Ten Hahe, so he quickly stepped back. "I mean, I won't show this off, but you need to believe me."

"Of course I believe you, Mr. Eric."

Ten Hag briefly talked to the players about some details of the game against Manchester City the day after tomorrow.

In addition to the original defensive counterattack, Ten Hag also asked the players to add a midfield ball control.

When he got the news, Tang Ye was very excited.

The midfielder controls the ball, and he is a standard holding midfielder.

This seems like a tactic tailor-made for him!
In addition to the excitement, Tang Ye now also feels a great pressure and a sense of responsibility.

Manchester United has basically not played any passing and controlling football this season, so it is quite difficult for them to pick it up again now.

……

The intensive schedule made Tang Ye feel that time passed very quickly.

At noon on the day of the Manchester derby, Manchester United's bus set out from the base and met Manchester City's bus directly on the road.

"Oh my god, it's Manchester City"

Tang Ye opened the curtains.

The blue Manchester City bus was in front, and the red Manchester United bus was following behind.

The bases of Manchester City and Manchester United are very close to each other, and I didn’t expect that the departure times I chose were almost the same, which resulted in the current situation.

Tang Ye found the coincidence very interesting. When the two buses were parallel at the traffic light, Tang Ye gave De Bruyne a thumbs up.

"Rod, that's Kevin, you must know him, he's also my friend"

After saying hello to Sterling, Tang Ye and Rodri continued.

"I went to the Ballon d'Or event with Kevin and David (De Gea) and we took the same plane and played poker."

"It's the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, not an event"

It has been almost a year since he came to Manchester United. Rodri's excellent language talent has helped him learn English quickly.

"It's all the same, it's just a ceremony, but I still think activity is better, it can summarize everything, it's amazing"

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony...

Leaning back in his chair, Rodri was lost in thought.

When will he be able to attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony like his big brother Tom?
If he participated, where would he rank?
Rodri just hopes that if he can attend the Ballon d'Or ceremony, he can stand closer to big brother Tom.

Because Tom’s ranking must be very high, if he is close to Tom then his ranking must be good!
So how can one get a Ballon d'Or ranking close to Tom's?
Rodri is not sure what to do yet, but he knows the general direction.

Follow Tom's rhythm!
Tom will put him on the right path!

……

The Sun – Manchester United and Manchester City buses were photographed by fans heading to the Etihad Stadium at the same time.

"This should be a coincidence, and a very interesting coincidence. We followed it all the way, De Bruyne greeted Tom, and Sterling looked in a good mood," said the fans at the scene.

Manchester City's bus was in front, and Manchester United's bus followed behind. When the traffic light turned green, the two buses would arrive at almost the same position.

It's like the situation in the Premier League right now.

Manchester United is trying every means to catch up with Manchester City!
"blue moon"

"You saw me standing alone~"

“without a dream in my heart～～(without a dream in my heart)”

“without a love on my own～～(without a love on my own)”

At the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City fans welcomed the Manchester United bus with their team song.

Rodri quickly noticed Tang Ye's strange expression, so he asked in a low voice: "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, Rod, I'm just thinking about something."

Tang Ye frowned and thought for a long time using his clever brain, but he couldn't find a suitable answer.

Rodri suddenly became serious.

Given Tom's excellent reading of the game, could he have discovered something crucial?

“You can tell us your problem and we can think about it together.”

"No dreams and no love, Rod, don't you think Manchester City's team song is weird?"

Tang Ye expressed the doubts he had just had.

If it were Tom, he would never stand alone without a dream.

Tom would ask his friends to stand with him.

Then he secretly told his friends about his dream.

That dream is...

Ok……

After thinking about it carefully, Tang Ye found that he needed to think of a dream for himself today.

That dream is to beat Manchester City!

How could Manchester City standing alone possibly beat Tom standing with his friends!

"The referee is looking at his watch!"

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

Football Emperor pinned the post: The Manchester derby, the decisive battle of the Premier League, has officially begun. Can the Red Devils hold on to their last hope?
【Come on Tang Ye! Long live Manchester United! 】

[Fuck, you guys are all shouting "Long Live Manchester United", but you all bet on Manchester City to win. What the hell is that? I'm so pissed]

[Manchester United is still quite strong, the problem is that Manchester City is too strong]

【King Tang is loyal! 】

According to backend data feedback, CCTV5 currently has 670 million real-time viewers.

You know, the game has just started not long ago!
According to past predictions, the peak number of real-time online users of CCTV-5 today should exceed 1000 million.

This data has exceeded some upsets in the 14 Brazil World Cup!

clap clap!

Gundogan and Sterling played a very smooth one-two combination on the wing.

Sterling runs towards the baseline with the ball!

Sterling has a perky butt and he holds his hands up when he runs, like a duck.

It looks funny, but Sterling runs with a sense of rhythm and has strong dribbling skills, which puts Ashley Young under a lot of pressure.

Back off a little bit!

"Middle middle!"

De Gea signaled his teammates to pay attention to Aguero's position.

That's Manchester City's top scorer!
We must take careful aim!
Suddenly cutting inside to the top of the arc, Sterling passed the ball to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne returns the ball!

Sterling takes the lead forward!
Directly break into the penalty area!

"oh!!!"

Snapped!
A cross pass found Sane on the left.

Sane shoots!

De Gea jumped up and pushed the ball directly over the crossbar.

Only 5 minutes into the game, Manchester City launched a perfect attack!

"Man City! Man City!"

The stands are all blue, which makes the Manchester United players feel a little stressed.

Of course, the pressure on Manchester United fans is also very great.

Manchester City now gives the audience a feeling.

That means they can open Manchester United's goal at any time!

"Manchester City's corner kick opportunity, let's take a look..."

"De Bruyne!"

"Smolin, beautiful!"

In just 2 minutes, Manchester United escaped danger one after another.

But when will Manchester United's chance come?
