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

Chapter 369 Manchester United is waiting for a miracle, but the miracle does not come

置顶：4月12日凌晨2点，1/4决赛次回合曼联客战尤文，首回合主场战平对手的曼市红魔能否冲击欧冠半决赛？
The second leg between Manchester United and Juventus is about to begin.

Considering the stalemate between the two sides in the first round, the second round will be very exciting if nothing unexpected happens.

【victory】

"call……"

With a long sigh, Tang Ye threw the handle on the bed.

Sitting cross-legged on the soft bed, there is a very clear game screen in front of me, and a bottle of iced cola in a glass bottle is placed on the bedside.

Tang Ye really likes this relaxed and comfortable state, but the upcoming competition does not make him relax.

Super strong enemy Juventus!

In the first leg, Manchester United drew 3:3 with Juventus at home. It seemed that they did not lose, but only the Manchester United players themselves knew how hard that game was.

Whether it is wing attack or intensive defense, Juventus is half a level stronger than Manchester United.

The second leg will be played away, which adds another layer of difficulty to the already difficult game.

I remember that I dreamed about my predecessor Cristiano Ronaldo at night. The hateful Cristiano killed the rat in the Carrington Hall of Fame.

In Zhou Gong's Interpretation of Dreams, a dead mouse represents good luck.

Tom was lucky, but the problem was that the dream happened a long time ago.

He didn't know if he was still in good luck!
Thinking of this, Tang Ye suddenly became nervous.

After thinking for a moment, I turned off the game I was playing and then the lights in the room.

He wants to take a nap first to see if he can dream about Ronaldo again.

Well, or Messi.

It’s okay to dream about Messi!
……

"Good morning Marcus, good morning Mata"

Walking into the gym, Tang Ye greeted his teammates.

"What's wrong Tom?"

Mata noticed Tang Ye's expression: "You don't look very good"

"Oh, I'm just a little nervous because Juve are so difficult to deal with"

Tang Ye explained: "I had a dream before. After the dream ended, we won many consecutive games."

"Um...so?"

Rashford obviously didn't understand what Tang Ye meant.

"My thought is that if I have that dream again, I can bring good luck to the team again. Marcus, don't you want to beat Juventus?"

"Ha ha!"

Rashford nodded quickly: "So what is your dream?"

"Yes……"

Tang Ye quickly shut his mouth as soon as he opened it.

Ten Hag had previously called Rashford a "rat at Carrington", something Rashford has always remembered.

Tang Ye can't tell his dream, otherwise his good friend Marcus might be unhappy!

"All right"

Seeing that Tang Ye had no intention of saying anything, Rashford shrugged his shoulders and said, "What's wrong with saying this? Even if you dream that I was killed, it's okay. Things in dreams won't happen in reality. But Tom, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it."

"Hurry up and change your clothes, Craig will be here soon!"

Mata reminded him, and Tang Ye quickly ran to the locker room to change into training clothes.

……

Turin, Italy, the day of the second leg of Juventus vs Manchester United.

Quickly adjusting his breathing, Tang Ye followed Rodri out of the player tunnel.

Juventus (4-4-2)

Goalkeeper: Buffon

Defenders: De Sciglio, Barzagli, Chiellini, Alex Sandro

Midfielders: Costa, Bentancur, Pogba, Asamoah

Forwards: Dybala, Higuain
Learning from the experience of the first leg, Allegri slightly adjusted the team's formation in the second leg.

There is also a very critical point.

The team's main midfielder Paul Pogba's return from injury is a very big variable in this game.

On the Manchester United bench, Ten Hag and Van der Gag looked at each other.

When Tang Ye was still in Utrecht, Van der Gag wrote a scouting report for him.

But Van der Gahe regarded Pogba and Eriksen as templates for Tang Ye, and developed some training plans based on them, hoping that Tang Ye could move in the direction of Pogba.

But now it seems that there is really no need for this.

Tom played for Villarreal for one season, and completed his complete metamorphosis in just one season.

Tom is no longer comparable to Pogba now!
At the beginning of the first half, Manchester United launched an attack against Juventus from the left where Rashford was.

Snapped!
Long pass to Rashford!

Rashford stops the ball!

It was a quick attack, but Rashford's ability to handle the ball near the penalty area was still a little poor, and finally Chiellini intercepted the ball.

"It's okay, it's okay, come on, come on!"

Real-time battle report from the Football Emperor: Manchester United’s away game against Juventus in the Champions League knockout round is in progress, the current score is 0:0, and the total score of the two rounds is 3:3.

The comment section was full of fans cheering for Manchester United.

Manchester United just defeated Manchester City with a score of 3:2, so there is no need to say more about their current form.

The only thing to worry about is the physical recovery of Manchester United players.

There are less than 5 days between this game and the Manchester derby, and Manchester United players may not be able to recover from the high-intensity Manchester derby.

On the other hand, Juventus is very comfortable. There is no league or cup match between the two rounds of the Champions League knockout stage, so they can focus all their energy on Manchester United.

Dybala gets the ball on the wing!
Cut inside!

Just give it a kick!
De Gea saved the ball!
"It can be seen that the attitudes of both teams in this game are quite obvious. They took control of the game situation in the first half..."

"Yes, at the moment Juventus is doing better in this regard"

"..."

“Beep, beep!!!”

Half-time report from Dongqiudi: Juventus temporarily leads Manchester United 2:0, Rashford's direct free kick was saved, Higuain scored, and Pogba scored a world wave.

"..."

After taking a look at the score displayed on the big screen, Tang Ye bit the gum in his mouth, feeling very upset.

As expected, Pogba's return has greatly improved Juventus' offense.

In the first half, Manchester United was almost unilaterally suppressed!

Rashford walked over and high-fived Tang Ye, and neither of them spoke.

Tang Ye could feel Marcus's sadness, and Marcus could of course feel Tang Ye's emotions.

The Tom and Jerry duo should have kicked something in the first half.

But they didn't do it!
"come on! Come on!"

"Go Manchester United!"

The fans' cheers came from the away team's stands. Manchester United players walked back to the locker room with their heads down, their expressions all very serious.

Juventus is now 2 goals ahead of Manchester United, and it seems that it is not too difficult to catch up with 45 goals in 2 minutes.

But you have to know that Juventus played very well in this game and it was difficult for Manchester United to find scoring opportunities.

And the most important thing!
The Champions League counts away goals. Juventus currently has 3 away goals, while Manchester United has 0.

Therefore, even if Manchester United scored two goals in the second half to tie the score to 2:2, Manchester United, who only had two away goals, would be directly judged as the loser.

Score at least 3 goals in the second half.

Only in this way can Manchester United win!

In the locker room, Ten Hag encouraged the players.

Manchester United now needs to wait for a miracle!
Great miracle!
……

"Tang Ye! Go straight to Martial!"

A long-distance ground pass was sent directly from the center circle to the front court.

The pass was very comfortable and Martial caught the ball easily!
See what happens next!
Martial!
Move sideways in the penalty area to create space.

Find the opportunity!

boom!
A volley shot was given and Buffon made a save.

"The ball is in!"

"Beautiful! Martial!"

1: 2!

In the 57th minute of the second half, Manchester United scored a goal!
[You get counterattack points*15]

[Phase 6 Mission Progress: Assists (6/)]

The stage three mission of 6 assists is finally completed!
Tang Ye was very happy, but he really didn't have the heart to deal with this task right now.

They need to score 2 more goals to win this game!

"Martial gave up celebrating. Manchester United should make a last-ditch effort!"

The absence of Haller has brought a bad impact to Manchester United, but Martial's performance in this game is still quite good.

See if there is any chance!
77th minute!

Dybala received the pass from his teammate at the baseline!
This is an opportunity for Juventus!
Snapped!
Cross pass into the penalty area.

The ball was given to Mandzukic who had just come on the field!

Mandzukic! Bang!
With a toe-poked shot, Mandzukic successfully opened the Manchester United goal defended by De Gea.

I rely on!

The moment the goal was scored, Tang Ye looked directly at the linesman.

He now just hopes it's an offside goal.

But this ball is not offside!

Pooh!
Tang Ye spit out the chewing gum in his mouth, opened his mouth slightly, and there was no expression on his face.

The same goes for the other Manchester United players.

They probably knew what was waiting for them.

……

“Beep, beep!!!”

"Okay, the game is over. In the second leg, Juventus won 3:1. The total score of the two legs was 6:4, defeating Manchester United to advance to the semi-finals of this season's Champions League."

"To be honest, it was a shame for Manchester United in this game. They missed some good chances in both the first and second half."

"In addition, the winter window new signing Haller is restricted by the rules and cannot play, which is also a big problem."

The commentator expressed regret over Manchester United's elimination.

The game was over, but the fans in front of the TV did not turn off the screen for a long time.

GGBond was defeated!

This result is really hard for Chinese fans to accept!
The powerful GGBond, the GGBond that can summon the Fire Dragon Armor, will he lose...

"Juve, storia di un grande amore～ (Juve, you are great love)"

“Bianco che abbraccia il nero～ (White embraces black)”

"..."

The Juventus team song was playing in the stadium. After successfully defeating the strong opponent Manchester United and advancing to the semi-finals, Juventus fans were celebrating.

The live camera was given to Tang Ye, but Tang Ye did not notice the camera directed towards him in the distance.

At this moment, he was squatting on the ground, looking at the grass. This was where he lost the game today.

The Champions League knockout stage is different from the group stage.

If you lose in the knockout round, you will be eliminated directly!
Tang Ye now only hopes to play the game again.

If he plays again, he will definitely seize the opportunity.

But this is of course unrealistic.

Losing is losing, Manchester United is the loser of this game.

Tang Ye feels very guilty now.

Although Juventus is very strong, he has a feeling that if he can control the rhythm better in this game, Manchester United will still have a chance to win the game.

3:3, 4:3.

Or 5:3!

A shadow suddenly appeared on the grass in front of him. Tang Ye raised his head and saw Ten Hah standing in front of him.

"Mr. Eric, I, I..."

Ten Hahe squatted down and put his hand on Tang Ye's back.

Ten Hah didn't say anything because he knew Tang Ye needed some time to think on his own.

……

Football Report: Manchester United lost 1:3 to Juventus away from home and ended their Champions League journey this season. (Comments: 87652)

[Pogba can play so well just after recovering from injury. I thought Pogba would play poorly]

[What a pity, Rashford didn’t have many shots today]

[If you want the camera, you have to look at me, GGBond. I control the ball in the middle for half a minute. I am the man who wants to win the most in Manchester United.]

[Manchester United should quickly strengthen their forward line and stop letting Mata play as a striker. He really doesn’t have the ability to explode]

[Why does Juventus feel like it has suddenly become stronger...]

The Manchester United locker room was very quiet after the game. Even Tang Ye, who loved to talk the most, did not speak.

Tear!

Quickly unzipping his backpack, Tang Ye took out a piece of chewing gum, tore open the package and put it in his mouth.

Feeling that it was not enough, Tang Ye took out a new one.

He put two pieces of gum together in his mouth and chewed them. The strong mint flavor gave his brain a cool feeling.

Ice cubes can eliminate muscle swelling. Tang Ye now only hopes that the cool feeling of mint gum can calm his brain.

Just as he put his hand on Rashford's shoulder and was about to say something, van der Gahe came in from outside.

Tang Ye still has an interview to complete!

"Um... can I not go?"

Tang Ye asked in a low voice.

To be honest, he doesn't really want to communicate with reporters right now.

Vandergaard nodded gently: "You don't have to go, but I suggest you go anyway, otherwise the reporters will make a fuss about it."

"Okay, Mr. Michel."

Tang Ye patted Vandergaard's arm and then walked towards the mixed interview area.

Ok?
Van der Gahe looked at Tang Ye who was slowly walking away, and then looked at the locker room.

Tom didn't bring anyone with him on this interview.

Is it because you need some alone time after losing?
Click, click, click!

The flash lights in the interview area made it difficult for Tang Ye to open his eyes, so he could only raise his arms to cover his eyes.

The reporter asked Tang Ye about his feelings about the game.

"..."

Tang Ye closed his mouth and thought for about half a minute.

"Tom?"

The reporter reminded.

"Oh, sorry sorry"

Tang Ye shook his head and sat up straight: "It's a pity that we played this game. Our original plan was to win and then play in the semi-finals, but we didn't do it in the end. Juventus played better than we thought."

"Although Juventus is very strong, I think we still have some opportunities, although... we didn't seize them."

Because of his bad mood and nervousness when facing reporters, Tang Ye's language organization system had problems.

"Well, actually in the second half when Anthony (Martial) scored a goal I thought we would have a chance to turn the tables, but they also scored a goal soon after."

Tang Ye looked at the reporter in front of him: "After that goal, I realized that the game was over."

The reporter nodded: "Has the recent schedule had any impact on you? For example, the match against Manchester City, you consumed too much energy in the match against Manchester City."

Tang Ye thought about it briefly.

There is definitely an impact, but he won't say it in front of reporters.

Tang Ye thought it was a very shameful thing to find reasons for losing a game.

What Tang Ye most wanted was to go back to two hours ago and play another game with Juventus, in which Manchester United would definitely defeat their opponents.

But Tom is not Doraemon. He only has chewing gum in his pocket, not a time machine.

……

"Manchester Evening News" - After being eliminated from the Champions League, Manchester United only has two games left this season where they can compete for the championship, namely the FA Cup and the Premier League.

As the Manchester Evening News reporter said, after losing the Champions League, Manchester United only has two chances to win the championship, but neither of these two chances is easy to grasp.

To win the FA Cup, Manchester United must beat Tottenham to advance to the final and then beat Chelsea or Southampton in the final.

The most likely ones are Tottenham and Chelsea, and these two Premier League giants are obviously not that easy to deal with.

But in comparison, the FA Cup is still better. If you win, you can win the championship. At least your destiny is in your own hands.

But that's not the case with the league.

With the next six Premier League games left, Manchester City must lose at least one and draw with Manchester United to have a chance of moving up, but for Manchester City this season, losing and drawing are only low-probability events.

April is the penultimate month until the end of the season, and the pressure on players and fans is increasing day by day.

It was noon the next day.

Manchester United players flew back to Manchester from Turin, and just when they arrived at the base, bad news came from the neighboring club.

Manchester City lost to Bayern 3-4 in the second leg and was eliminated with a total score of 4-6.

At this point, no Premier League team is still alive in the Champions League knockout stage.

"Kevin and the others are dead too."

Upon hearing the news, Tang Ye was a little surprised when he got off the bus.

I have the impression that Manchester City is really strong and they should be able to beat Bayern.

Just like what Manchester United did in the Champions League group stage this season!

"Rod, I found something"

Walking towards the parking lot together, Tang Ye suddenly turned to look at Rodri: "If we draw Bayern and Manchester City draws Juventus, then we will all advance, right?"

"Hmm... that makes sense."

Rodri agreed with Tang Ye's words.

"Yeah, you think so too."

Tang Ye shook his head, pulled UEFA out of his blacklist and tortured it again.

It was UEFA that put Manchester United and Villarreal together in the round of 16, so that Tang Ye had to defeat his old friend to advance!
But now the game has been over for nearly 24 hours, and thinking about these things will not save anything.

Like Mr. Eric said in the locker room.

Manchester United players now need to focus on the next game!
FA Cup and Premier League, the remaining two competitions are very important for Manchester United!
