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

Chapter 430: A straight red card, Manchester United still dominant despite 10 men.

Top post on Dongqiudi: Manchester United vs. Burnley is in progress, with Manchester United currently leading 2-0.

[Side Quest: Achieve a 4-game winning streak in the Premier League, FA Cup, and EFL Cup. Progress will be reset to zero if you lose.]

[Current progress: 0/4]

[Reward: World Cup Semi-Finalist Chest]

The winning streak mission rewards players with templates of the World Cup semi-finalists.

This is relatively comfortable, because compared to the goals and assists targets, the winning streak task will make things a little easier for Tang Ye.

Because there are no precise data targets, Tang Ye can compete entirely according to his own ideas.

4 consecutive wins!

Considering that Manchester United's schedule in September is not too difficult, this is a good opportunity for Tang Ye to complete his task.

It would be terrible if the winning streak mission were to be delayed until October.

Manchester United will face Chelsea and Everton in the league in October, both of which are tough opponents!
While the Manchester United players were celebrating, several Burnley players in the penalty area looked at each other blankly.

Suddenly, he was pierced through by a low, straight pass.

The defender is experiencing a feeling that's hard to describe.

This feeling is like... my underwear is leaking?
"Move forward a bit, the full-backs can move up!"

The Burnley manager shouted.

The game continued, and Burnley's players, trailing by two goals, not only failed to launch a counterattack but instead played even more cautiously.

This is something that fans with a god-like perspective and Tang Ye, with a semi-god-like perspective, see most clearly.

The home team's two full-backs kept coming out to harass Tang Ye, sometimes forcing him to face three defenders by himself.

Burnley's intention was clearly to contain Tang Ye's attacking threat, because the pressure on the center-backs was reduced when the full-backs positioned themselves further forward.

boom!
In the 34th minute of the match, Tang Ye tripped while running at high speed and rolled three and a half times on the ground.

"Fuck you!"

Sitting on the ground sighing, Tang Ye finally felt much better after witnessing the referee show a yellow card to the defensive player who committed the foul.

"Come on, Tom!"

Alai pulled Tang Ye up from the ground and then patted Tang Ye on the back.

It's a game now, so there's no time for Tang Ye to kick the mud off his clothes with the ball.

When Tang Ye ran to the front of the substitutes' bench, Ten Hag seized the opportunity to give him a reminder.

"Be careful not to pick up any cards, stay calm, stay calm."

Tang Ye took a moment to give a thumbs-up, and once the opposing team had taken the throw-in, he returned to focusing on the game.

38 minutes!

Rashford dribbled forward and then combined with Luke Shaw and Haller.

Finally, Luke Shaw cut inside and curled a shot into the far corner.

Joe Hart had tried his best, but it was no use.

"Manchester United have already taken a 3-0 lead before the 40th minute of the game. If that's the case, Burnley probably have no chance in this match..."

……

After a brief adjustment at halftime, Ten Hag highlighted the details that needed to be worked out.

Manchester United still had a significant advantage, but there were two full weeks between this match and the team's next game, so Ten Hag had no intention of substituting his key players.

Scoring a few more goals to maintain the momentum from their clean sheet against Tottenham would be quite important for Manchester United.

"Calm down, Tom."

Rashford whispered in Tang Ye's ear.

Tang Ye fell quite a few times in the first half.

If it were Tom with black hair, Rashford believes he could resist.

The problem is that Tom has now gotten blond hair, and he looks like a delinquent no matter how you look at him.

If they were delinquents, it would be terrible if Tom got angry in the second half.

Tang Ye rubbed his calf: "You underestimate me, Marcus. I won't shoot them unless they shoot me."

"what?"

Van der Gach suddenly raised his hands: "They've all got guns, so shouldn't you run quickly?"

"..."

Tang Ye suddenly realized.

"Oh, right. Okay then, I'll remember to run. Don't worry, Marcus, if I see them with guns, I'll take you with me."

Fearing that Rashford would worry, Tang Ye gave his good friend a tranquilizer.

The second half has begun!

Come on, Manchester United!

"Tang Ye!"

On the big screen at the stadium, a fan wearing a GGBond headgear held up all five of his fingers to the camera.

It means 5:0.

They scored 3 goals in the first half, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to say they could score 2 more in the second half, right?
The English commentators noticed that Tang Ye's face was very red as soon as the second half began.

Then he remembered the lyrics of the most famous song from the World Cup.

"GGBond's blood is flowing!"

"..."

After discussion, they decided to give the free kick opportunity to Tang Ye.

"Look over there"

Tang Ye secretly pointed to the right: "I'll pass it over there, Marcus, you can stay on the other side, there are already enough people over there."

Beep!
The referee blew the whistle, and Tang Ye bit down on his chewing gum.

Start your running start!
Snapped!
The free kick was headed directly to Smalling at the far post, and Smalling headed the ball into the six-yard box!

Ale was blocked!

But Rashford got the ball!

Rashford!

Rashford took the shot, and immediately after the shot was taken, Benjamin stepped on Rashford's ankle.

"Fuck!"

Rashford yelled, stood up, and started cursing at Benjamin: "Fuck you!"

Manchester United players are asking the referee for a penalty.

However, because the foul occurred after Rashford's shot, Manchester United were not awarded a penalty.

"All right"

Tang Ye shrugged, preparing to retreat, but unexpectedly, the conflict between Rashford and Benjamin escalated.

Benjamin cursed a few times, and Rashford quickly closed in, his forehead touching Benjamin's.

Hey!

Realizing something was wrong, the Manchester United players quickly ran over.

But it was too late.

Benjamin was very cunning; after being headbutted by Rashford, he fell backward.

"what!!"

"Ahhh!!!"

Benjamin clutched his forehead in great pain, as if Rashford had drilled a hole in his head.

Beep!
The referee ran over quickly.

"Hey, give them a red card right away!"

Rashford paid the price for his impulsiveness.

Manchester United fans are left with a lot of questions.

The headbutt was definitely a red card offense, but Rashford didn't seem to be putting much force into it, did he?
"Hey, referee!"

Tang Ye panicked and rushed to the running referee along with A Lai.

"This isn't a red card! Our players weren't using enough force!"

Tang Ye pointed at Benjamin on the ground: "He's faking it, he's absolutely faking it. Come on, look, like this!"

As he spoke, Tang Ye demonstrated, bumping his head against Alai's chest before sitting back on the ground: "He was definitely faking it, how could he possibly be injured?"

Tang Ye was speaking from the heart, but the referee simply wouldn't listen to him.

Rashford was sent off with a straight red card!

Tang Ye and Rashford clapped hands, then whispered to their teammates, "That referee's been sleepwalking, damn it, we have to get him!" Rodri shrugged, "There's nothing we can do."

Dongqiudi Live Match Report: Rashford sent off with a straight red card for headbutting, Manchester United are down to 10 men.

【? ? ? 】

I think the referee probably accepted the bribe.

[You don't even believe GGBond's doxxing replay?]

The referee's decision was controversial, but the decision could not be changed.

Tang Ye felt that today's referee was not a good person.

Well, if there were a chance to change it, I doubt this guy would take back his red card.

Because that's how bad people ruin good things!

The game continued, and Manchester United were directly reduced to a 4-2-2-1 formation. Ten Hag simply replaced Haller with Ziyech, changing the formation to a 4-2-3.

Tang Ye looked left and right, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

Because he realized he seemed to have become a center!

"Manchester United... even though they're down to ten men, they don't seem to be giving up on their attack."

As the commentators described, Manchester United played extremely aggressively in this match.

So what if there's one less person?

Tang Ye has a natural bond with Rodri and Ten Hach.

One bond equals half a person, and two bonds together equal a whole person.

Although he had never attended high school, this most basic addition was still too easy for Tang Ye.

"Look at me, look at me!"

Herrera was surrounded in the backfield, but Tang Ye and Valencia went over together and easily helped their teammate get out of trouble.

Of course, this was not the end. After escaping the predicament, Tang Ye led his teammates in a rapid advance.

"Pass it to the right wing, let Valencia push forward with the ball..."

"They gave it to me directly!"

He crossed the ball from the byline into the penalty area, and Ziyech controlled it and shot in one fluid motion.

"Pretty!"

"Manchester United have broken through Burnley's defense again despite playing with one less player!"

Burnley's defensive speed was too poor, making it very difficult for them to play against a team like Manchester United that excels at fast counter-attacks.

It's 4-0!
And the time has only been 75 minutes!

Ten Hag quickly began his substitutions, replacing Mata with De Jong, changing the number of defensive midfielders from two to three, leaving only Tang Ye and Ziyech up front.

A four-goal lead is a lot; Manchester United need to hold onto their hard-earned gains!
During the rest of the match, Tang Ye kept glancing in Benjamin's direction, wanting to avenge his good friend Marcus.

However, Tang Ye couldn't think of a good way to commit the act, and with Mr. Michel's repeated reminders, the matter had to be dropped in the end.

[Task Progress: Winning Streak (1/4)]

Despite the red card, the match was generally played relatively easily.

Tang Ye tilted his head as he looked at the Burnley players opposite him, who were sighing with their heads down.

I feel like the opposing defenders are all pretty dull, unlike me who's so smart.

If they had half of Tom's intelligence, would the outcome of this match have been different?

Tang Ye shook his head.

This is not true.

He will not hand over his wisdom to his opponent.

"Marcus, it's alright, it's alright."

In the locker room, Tang Ye and his teammates were comforting Rashford, who had just received a red card.

Because he was sent off with a straight red card, Rashford will be suspended for three matches, which is why the Manchester United winger is so frustrated right now.

"Only three games, it's a minor issue. The later games... wait, let me check."

Tang Ye reached into his cabinet and took out his phone.

Watford, Young Boys, Wolves

"Bern is in the Champions League, so it won't affect anything."

Rodri reminded him.

"Oh, right, let's add Derby County as a third match. Aren't we just going to beat these three teams easily? Marcus, you can just relax."

With a total score of 7-0 in the two games he started, Tang Ye is currently in a state of high confidence.

"Marcus, you can focus on your charity work in Manchester for now, and then you'll hear the news of our victory."

"...Yes, thank you."

Rashford and Tang Ye bumped fists.

Upon closer reflection, Tang Ye's words were indeed correct; if he left, Ziyech could play as a left winger.

With Tang Ye orchestrating the tempo on the field, any winger who isn't too incompetent will generally have a chance to score.

……

"That's really a pity. I feel the referee's decision was a bit..."

I wanted to swear, but I managed to stay calm.

"The referee's decision was a bit unreasonable. I don't think Rashford's foul should have been a red card."

Tang Ye expressed his thoughts.

"You're currently on a two-game winning streak and are preparing to challenge for a better position in the standings. With Rashford suspended for three games, do you think this will have an impact on the team?"

"There's definitely an impact... but I think it's not too bad. Marcus (Rashford) is indeed crucial for us because he's very fast and has excellent dribbling skills. But I think we've been in pretty good form lately, and we can win some games even without his help."

Tang Ye looked at the camera, his tone sounding relaxed.

The match ended in a 4-0 victory, and apart from Rashford's red card, Tang Ye felt that everything else was perfect.

"Yes, none of your remaining opponents in September are particularly strong. Are you planning to take advantage of this month to catch up with Liverpool, who are currently in first place?"

"Forehead……"

I think so.

Tang Ye gave an ambiguous answer.

The reporter then asked Tang Ye about his personal goals for this season.

Last season, Tang Ye scored 17 goals, making him Manchester United's most efficient midfielder in recent years.

With his improved long-range shooting ability this season, reporters wanted to know if Tang Ye was confident of making a run for the Premier League top scorer title.

Tang Ye certainly agreed with this.

Because his favorite thing is scoring goals!

Sky Germany: Marcus Rashford will miss Manchester United's next two league games and one EFL Cup game due to a straight red card, but he is still eligible to play in the Champions League group stage.

Metro – Liverpool beat Leicester City 2-1, securing their fourth consecutive victory and joining the Manchester rivalry.

After Manchester United's 3-0 victory over Tottenham, fans generally thought that this season would be another clash between Manchester United and Manchester City. However, Liverpool quickly went on a four-game winning streak and moved directly to the top of the Premier League table on goal difference.

Liverpool, who were struggling last season, are suddenly so strong now.

How to deal with this?
The discussion among fans was quite heated, and renowned commentator Zhang Lu analyzed the issue for fans on a new episode of CCTV5.

In summary, Zhang Lu believes that Manchester United and Liverpool are roughly equal in intensity this season. If we have to compare win rates, Manchester United has a slight advantage, but not a significant one, around 55% to 60%.

"Many high-profile matches in the Premier League end in draws, so I feel that, well, when it comes to the final rankings between Manchester United and Liverpool, we'll have to look at their records against weaker teams."

"Securing all three points against weaker teams is the most crucial factor in the Premier League title race."

"Of course, if Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool can all maintain a high winning percentage, then things will be different."

A sports bureau staff member leaked information: After the World Cup entered the knockout stage, the General Administration of Sport and sponsors prepared a 200 million euro bonus for head coach Lippi, but the proposal was ultimately rejected by the leadership on the grounds that "Lippi's honor is too high."

"Lippi's bonus should not be paid out for the time being. The leadership hopes to make a decision on how to use the money after the Asian Cup."
