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

Chapter 432 Good Student GGBond is Here, Diligent and Hardworking, Passing in All Attributes

"I'm going to fall down first."

After completing the first phase of training, Tang Ye collapsed onto the grass.

One advantage of Manchester's overcast skies is that the pitch doesn't get too hot in the summer, which is really great for Tang Ye, who often sits on the grass.

GGBond's butt doesn't have much fat, which would be terrible if Carrington's grass were as hot as Saudi Arabia's!
"Tom, could you teach me your free kick?"

Greenwood sat opposite Tang Ye, and soon Rodri and Rashford arrived as well.

These are the four youngest players in the Manchester United squad, and their shared interests and Tom's appeal brought them together.

"My free kick?"

Tang Ye rubbed his ankle: "My free kick success rate doesn't seem very high, I feel like it's too much of a matter of luck."

"But I've always been very lucky."

Tang Ye chuckled.

"But your technique is also very good, there aren't many players in the Premier League with your free-kick skills."

Greenwood seemed to idolize Tang Ye, showering him with praise that made the latter a little embarrassed.

"Actually, it's not so bad. I think it mainly depends on the choice."

Turning to the opposing players, Tang Ye explained to his three teammates, "With the wall and the goalkeeper, there are many shooting routes. You need to find the one with the highest probability of success."

He looked at Greenwood again: "The referee isn't a good guy. He won't give you much time to think, so you have to figure it out quickly. Finding a good position is more important than playing well, at least that's my opinion."

"The referee is no good, haha!"

Rodri was already laughing.

"Hey Rod, what are you laughing at? Do you think the referee is a good guy?"

Tang Ye shrugged: "If that bald guy hadn't shown a red card the day before yesterday, Marcus wouldn't have been suspended for three games."

"Oh, my problem."

Rodri rubbed his hands together, mimicking Tang Ye's gesture: "I just find what you're saying a little funny."

"Can you be serious, Rhodes? We're discussing something very serious."

Tang Ye reached out to pat Rhodes' arm, then suddenly said, "Mason, how old are you this year? I heard from Mr. Michel that you seem very young."

“16,” Greenwood answered quickly.

Wow, you're even younger than Tom!

"I thought you were 17. What's your birthday?"

October 1st

"No wonder, you'll be 17 soon. Looks like I was right. Oh, but you were born on National Day! That's amazing!"

Tang Ye nodded slightly.

It would be great if he were also born on National Day.

Since Shandong Luneng Football School has a holiday for National Day, Tang Ye can take his friends out to celebrate his birthday if that day happens to be his birthday.

"National Day?"

Neither Greenwood nor Rashford reacted.

"It's National Day. Don't you guys celebrate National Day?"

"Oh, right, I feel like Europeans don't celebrate their national day. When I was in Spain, I didn't take a day off on October 1st either. I don't think there are many people more hardworking than me."

Tang Ye was speaking from the heart. Although he was somewhat negative before being scolded by Ronaldo, he still completed his training tasks as usual.

Otherwise, his ball control ability wouldn't have improved so much in just one season.

Rashford spun the football on the grass with his hand.

"National Day is probably unique to your region in Asia, like China and Japan. Japan celebrates its National Day; it's quite close to China, and their cultures are probably similar."

"Mason!"

Greenwood was called away by Van der Gahr.

He's really amazing.

Tang Ye whispered, "If I were that good when I was 16, I wouldn't be a substitute. I feel like he could be a starter in the Eredivisie now."

"But he is, after all, at Manchester United."

Rodri shook his head.

"There's really nothing we can do about it. His body is too flexible. He should be able to adapt to the league in a few more months."

Tang Ye pays special attention to Greenwood because, among all the players training with the first team, Greenwood is the only one who is younger than him.

Adults should care for children, and Tang Ye certainly understood this principle.

"coming!"

Tang Ye bent down, ready to go.

boom!
A header was launched, hitting De Gea precisely.

"Damn, that was close!"

To be honest, it’s a bit of a pity.

Stop heading the ball!

Van der Gach's voice came from the sidelines: "You'd be better off controlling the ball and passing or shooting it!"

"Okay, okay, I know!"

Tang Ye raised his hand to signal to Van der Gach.

Because of his poor heading ability, several Manchester United coaches did not support Tang Ye using his head too much.

But Tang Ye always has to practice, because attributes with low ability values ​​improve faster. If he practices heading, Tang Ye can clearly see the improvement in his data.

[Heading: 59→60]

Yes, just like this!

Tang Ye (40 years old)
[Ball possession: 87; Passing: 90]

[Shots: 78; Headers: 60; Set pieces: 79]

Speed: 78; Endurance: 76; Physical Strength: 85

[Defense: 74; Vision: 97]

Overall rating: 86
After Tang Ye reached 60 in heading ability, all of his attributes were up to par.

Tang Ye now feels that all his efforts have been rewarded.

That's just how good students are.

Good students shouldn't have any failing grades, just like Tang Ye doesn't have any failing grades!

Dongqiudi Match Report: Villarreal defeated Osasuna 4-2 at home, with Wu Lei scoring his first goal of the new season. (8923 comments)

When Escudé bought Wu Lei because he missed him, most fans thought that the striker, whose price tag was only 200 million euros, would not be able to make it in La Liga.

However, the fact is that Wu Lei has shown a strong ability to adapt, even finding a starting opportunity in a strong team like Villarreal.

Even though Escriva has left Villarreal, Wu Lei remains a reliable backup right winger for the team.

In the latest Transfermarkt update, his market value has reached 700 million euros!

While Wu Lei's performance was certainly impressive, fans paid more attention to Tang Ye, who plays for Manchester United.

Match Preview: At 12:9 AM on September 16th, Manchester United will play Watford away in the 5th round of the Premier League.

GGBond in his Saiyan form is about to play his second Premier League match in September.

Watford isn't strong, but there's a key point in this game.

That is the absence of our starting left winger, Marcus Rashford!
……

Match day, Vicarage Road Stadium.

With 50 minutes to go before the match, Manchester United players are warming up on the pitch.

Watford's stadium is a bit small, which reminded Tang Ye of the Ceramic Stadium where he used to play.

Whether it's psychological or not, Tang Ye felt that this place was far inferior to the ceramic court.

It's so much worse!
Number 10, Tang Ye

The announcer was introducing the rosters of both teams when, when it was Tang Ye's turn, fans in the stands suddenly shouted.

The away team fans were naturally cheering and screaming, but some of the more radical home team fans weren't so friendly.

"xuuu!!!"

"Trash Tom!"

On the second floor of the north stand, a shirtless man led the people around him in booing the Manchester United players.

After a three-game losing streak at the start of the season, Watford fans are desperate to win.

Snapped!
*Thump! Thump!* Tang Ye juggled the ball over to De Jong and whispered, "Frankie, do you believe I can kick that guy directly, as long as he doesn't dodge?"

De Rong glanced in the direction Tang Ye was pointing.

The guy Tom was referring to was clearly a leader in the Watford fan group.

"Then I think you'd better not do that."

"De Jong said."

"Hey Franky, don't you believe I can beat him?"

"No, no, of course I believe you, but I don't recommend you do it, and Eric wouldn't want you to do it either."

"Ha ha"

Tang Ye laughed.

"I was just joking, Frankie. How could I possibly hit someone over something like that?"

……

Dongqiudi pinned post: Watford vs Manchester United match is in progress, current score 0:0, Tang Ye assisted Mata, but the goal was ruled offside.

The match was in the 23rd minute of the first half.

During a counter-attack from the backfield, Tang Ye and captain Valencia worked together to intercept the attacking player.

Valencia made a decisive move after receiving the ball, passing it directly to De Jong in front of him.

De Jong stopped the ball, and Tang Ye ran up from behind.

boom!
A super long, low through ball directly to the front!
"Wow!"

"Tang Ye's long pass was incredibly penetrating!"

"Fly past Wilhus"

"The ball is going to Martial on the left wing!"

Martial stopped the ball, adjusted himself, and then began to cut inside.

Ashley Young is already on his way; he's ready to rush to the baseline and take his position.

Snapped!
Martial passed the ball back to Rodri!
Rhodes instinctively wanted to find Tang Ye, but now he also discovered a very good opportunity.

Switch from the left lane to the right lane!
Seizing the opportunity, Rodri pushed the ball to the left side of the penalty area with a powerful shot.

Mata, who was making a diagonal run from the right flank, found an opportunity.

boom!
"We have the ball!"

"Mata!"

Manchester United opened the scoring in the 26th minute of the first half!

Many Manchester United fans breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

In the first 20 minutes of the match, fans could clearly feel the impact of Rashford's absence, fearing that Manchester United would falter against Watford.

The good news is that even without Rashford, the other Manchester United players are still performing admirably!
"Mata!"

With both hands raised, Tang Ye and Mata gave each other a hard high five.

"United!"

"Man United!"

"Frankie, go up! Remember to go up!"

This wasn't the first time Ten Hag had called out De Jong's name during the match.

The commander of the rattan armor army hoped that his soldiers could make the most of their strengths.

After all, De Jong is still much less experienced than Herrera. If he can't bring out his attacking ability, it will be very difficult for him to secure a starting defensive midfield position.

Rodri and Tang Ye remembered Ten Hag's instructions and left the defensive tasks in the backfield to De Jong as much as possible.

This is Manchester United's attempt at a new tactic, and new tactics are prone to errors.

boom!
Tang Ye attempted a sliding tackle to intercept, but Watford's defensive midfielder still managed to pass the ball out.

"Grass!"

There's nothing we can do but rely on our teammates!

Watford's pass was quick, and the defensive line formed by Rodri and Bailly was completely breached.

The striker on the right wing is making a diagonal run into the middle!
Then pass the ball to the teammate making a run down the left flank!

Done!

This was Tang Ye's immediate reaction.

A shot from that position is very difficult for the goalkeeper to handle.

Furthermore, Smalling's position prevents him from interfering with the player with the ball!

boom!
“GOOO—AAAA—LLLLLL!!!”

"Andre!"

"Andre!"

Fans chanted the names of the goal scorers in coordination with the announcer.

Watford have equalized!

The replay is provided.

I don't know if the director has a grudge against Tang Ye, but he directly used the moment Watford played the ball out of their own half as the starting point for the replay.

Tang Ye's air slide reappeared on the big screen.

"..."

Tang Ye saw it too, of course, and could only say he was speechless.

"xuuuu!!!"

"Beep beep beep!!!"

The commentator at the scene (a Watford legend): "If this is the performance of the world's best midfielder today, then I think it's unacceptable."

Tang Ye is a pure attacking midfielder, and Watford legends used his defensive performance to evaluate his form today, which many Manchester United fans certainly disagree with.

However, the team that scored the goal was in the right, so Manchester United fans couldn't say much.

"Beep, beep beep!!!"

The first half ended with the score tied at 1-1.

While the players were walking off the field, the two CCTV commentators chatted about the first half.

"From this perspective, Rashford's absence has indeed had some impact on Manchester United. It's quite obvious that Martial doesn't possess Rashford's sprinting ability."

"Yes, that's right, and in this match, Ten Hag seems to be intentionally pairing De Jong with Tang Ye."

With their key winger suspended due to a red card, is it not a good idea for Ten Hag to adjust tactics at this time?

……

"They play a vertical defense, so we can't push forward. We need our forwards and full-backs to dribble down the flanks and draw their players away from the center."

Once all the players were in the locker room, Tang Ye immediately expressed his thoughts.

"We are much stronger than them; the score shouldn't be like this."

Standing in front of his seat, Tang Ye washed his hands with bottled water.

He always believed that Manchester United was better than Watford, and the Manchester United players in the dressing room certainly thought so too.

"That's right, our full-backs are very important in this match."

Just then, Ten Hach finished drawing what he wanted to draw on the tactics board.

The circles representing Ashley Young and Valencia each have an extra-long arrow pointing to Watford's two baselines.

"Attacking from the full-back position is a mainstream tactic in modern football. If we want to increase the tempo, our full-backs need to be more active. Of course, I'm not just talking about going down the flank, but also cutting inside. Full-backs cutting inside is something you all need to do. That's how we can play this game."

Ten Hag briefly shared his thoughts with the players.

Just as Tang Ye said, the defenders go to the flanks to draw away the defenders, which opens up the middle of the field, and the pressure on Tang Ye when he gets the ball is reduced dramatically.

"Come on, everyone, get excited!"

"We agreed to go head-to-head with Manchester City this season. If we want to compete with Manchester City, we can't afford to make a single mistake against any other team. Do you understand what I mean?"

After a quick tidy-up, the Manchester United players are ready.

"3, 2, 1"

"come on!"
