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

Chapter 433 Three consecutive league wins propel them to third place in the standings; the first Champions League match of the new season arrives.

[Their tactics are too outrageous! What kind of bastards dare to mess with my GGBond?]

[I have an idea, guys. How about we let Tang Ye play center forward? He's always under pressure and can't get the ball when he plays in midfield anyway.]

[I don't really agree with the idea that he's not a winger; winger is where my Tang the King of Football truly belongs!]

Can the Glazer family be a little more generous? Manchester United has been dominating the Premier League this season since they spent 1 million on Dembele. Why are they so stingy?

With GGBond lacking a strong striker to complement him, Manchester United fans are directing their criticism at the club's management.

Forwards are generally expensive, and powerful forwards are even more expensive.

Manchester United's current budget means they'll have to wait until next summer to sign a top winger.

The second half was about to begin, and Tang Ye, Rodri, and De Jong walked out of the player tunnel together.

Tang Ye rubbed his hands together, while Rodri and De Jong were chewing gum.

It seemed that Manchester United fans were much more confident after 15 minutes of halftime, but it's unclear what tactical adjustments Ten Hag made.

"Alright, let the match begin!"

"In the first half..."

"We can also see that Ziyech has already started warming up in front of the Manchester United substitutes' bench."

Ziyech's performance since joining Manchester United has been quite good, so fans have high expectations for this new striker.

How to say.

Should we replace Martial or Mata?

Or perhaps it's Alai?

The first substitution for this match has not yet been made, but Manchester United's tactical adjustments are almost complete.

Ahead is Alai, Tang Ye, get ready!

Snapped!
A long pass was launched.

I missed and hit the opposing player instead.

Watford's players clearly didn't expect Tang Ye to hit them with the ball, and they didn't react in time before the ball bounced out!

Seizing the opportunity to make up for his mistake, Tang Ye ran straight up.

Step on the ball and pull it down towards yourself!
The opposing player tried to steal the ball back, but Tang Ye simply turned his back to protect it.

GGBond's hard-earned broad shoulders leave his opponents with absolutely no chance!
"Here here!"

Rodri is coming to provide backup!

Tang Ye returned the ball and started running forward.

Rodri to De Jong!

De Jong was ready and used the instep of his foot to send a through ball with a large lead to Tang Ye.

They had played together before in Utrecht, and De Jong hadn't forgotten what Tang Ye liked.

"Tang Ye has the ball!"

"Let's create some distance first..."

"It's reached the bottom!"

Tang Ye and Mata skillfully executed a cross-run, with Tang Ye eventually reaching the right baseline.

The defenders came up, but Tang Ye remained very calm.

Find an opportunity...

spray!
[De Bruyne's cross from the byline lv5: Replica (Beyond the current state)]

Proficiency: 342/3500
The short cross was aimed at Haller, who was making a run into the penalty area.

boom!
Ale's sliding shot!
The ball went in!
"Wow!!!!"

After scoring, Haller stood there dumbfounded, waiting. Tang Ye rushed over, grabbed Haller, and started running, shouting, "No offside! No offside!"

It might be a bit hard to see from the backfield, but Tang Ye's control of the offside line in the attacking third was incredibly precise.

Yes, there's absolutely no possibility of a mistake!

boom!
Swish swish!
The celebrations have been given, and Manchester United have regained the upper hand!
"Glory, Glory, Man United!"

"Glory Glory Man United~"

Dongqiudi live match report: Tang Ye made a cross from the byline, and Haller slid in to score, giving Manchester United a 2-1 lead!

The cameras focused on Tang Ye, who placed his hand on A Lai's shoulder and slowly walked backstage.

Alai was too tall, and Tang Ye had to raise his hand to do this, which was a bit tiring, so he only held his hand up for a short while before pulling it back.

"Look, there are no defenders in the middle, we can score easily."

Tang Ye is extremely arrogant!

After 60 minutes, Manchester United had a significant advantage in possession.

That's the reality. If you're at a disadvantage in possession against Manchester United, you're likely to get completely dominated in the game.

Manchester United made a substitution at this point, with Ziyech replacing Mata on the right wing.

On the left is Rashford, in the middle is Haller, and on the right is Ziyech. This is Ten Hag's vision for Manchester United's attacking line this season.

It's a very simple principle: Ziyech needs to adapt to the right winger position at Manchester United.

Ziyech got into an argument with the opposing players as soon as he came on the field, and the two sides huddled together, pushing and shoving each other.

However, the referee was rather lenient, and no player received a yellow card for the incident.

Tang Ye gave the referee a thumbs up.

It was a pity that he didn't have the habit of carrying pounds with him, otherwise he would have definitely taken some out and put them in the referee's pocket.

GGBond's intention was not bribery, but reward.

Just like good students get a red flower, referees who are good to Manchester United players can get GGBonds.

72th minute!

"Lingard is ready, and Manchester United seems to be looking to substitute Tang Ye."

Manchester United's schedule in September is a bit strange. There are only two games before the 20th, but the schedule suddenly becomes more congested after the 20th.

With the Champions League match next, Manchester United needs to ensure that their number 10 player is fit and fit.

It is currently unknown when Tang Ye will be replaced.

"Hey hey!"

Moving to the right flank, Tang Ye received a through ball from Valencia and immediately began his descent down the flank.

Tang Ye has many small skills.

This put a lot of pressure on Watford's defenders!

Ride a small bicycle, then ride a big bicycle.

Okay, I can't get past that.

Finding that the opponent wasn't affected by the feint, Tang Ye didn't waste time and passed the ball back to De Rong, who immediately started cutting inside.

Ziyech is ready at the back post!
It was a great position; if Tang Ye could have passed the ball to Ziyech, Manchester United would have had a chance to score their third goal of the game.

Tang Ye does indeed have the ability to pass the ball.

Ten Hag was watching intently from the sidelines!
hiss!
Tang Ye wanted to pass the ball, but then thought better of it and decided to shoot himself.

boom!
A left-footed curling shot went over the crossbar!

"Grass!"

Tang Ye was being contested by a defender when he took the shot, so his shot was indeed a bit too difficult.

"My mine!"

He raised his hand to signal Ziyech, and Tang Ye and his teammates retreated together.

Manchester United made a substitution after the next dead ball situation.

Lingard came on as a substitute for Tang Ye!
"Well played"

Ten Hah and Tang Ye clapped hands, and the latter returned to his seat.

Mata and Herrera were on the side, and Tang Ye and his teammates were exchanging punches.

"Damn, I should have shared it."

Tang Ye opened the bottle cap and drank the water, feeling somewhat regretful about his wrong decision.

If Ziyech had been passed to Manchester United, the score might already be 3-1.

"It's okay, Tom. Your lob shot was pretty good. It didn't matter whether you passed it or not."

"haha, thank you!"

Tang Ye patted Herrera's arm.

Dongqiudi Match Report: Tang Ye assists as Manchester United defeat Watford 2-1, securing their third consecutive league victory! (18242 comments)

New signings Ziyech and De Jong still have some issues with their integration into the team, but overall Manchester United played a relatively successful match.

After Alai won the MVP, he returned to the locker room, where Tang Ye and his teammates cheered him on.

"Okay, guys, I have something to say."

Valencia stood up and went to the center of the locker room.

Ashley Young's attendance rate has decreased due to chronic injuries in the new season, and second captain Valencia has become the first captain.

"Hey, Antonio, don't bother us!"

Tang Ye pointed to the mineral water bottle in his hand: "I'm going to pour this water for Sebastian."

"No, no, Tom!"

Valencia quickly shook her head and smiled, gesturing for Tang Ye to sit down.

"Watch out, Tom's angry and he might spill water on you!"

Alai egged them on.

"Oh, I won't, Antonio, don't listen to his nonsense."

Tang Ye raised both hands and realized that the water bottle in his hands had no cap, so he hid the water bottle behind his back.

Once all the players were seated, Valencia began to speak.

"Wait a minute!"

Tang Ye interrupted Valencia, bent down and picked up an empty water bottle from the ground: "No need to thank me, Antonio, here's a microphone for you."

"Oh!"

Valencia gestured to Tang Ye with the hand holding the water bottle: "Thank you, Commander Tom."

"Hahaha!" "Well, let me first talk about today's match. We both did very well. Although it was 2-1, I think our advantage in this match was more than just a single goal."

Valencia did not disappoint Tang Ye's expectations; he brought his mouth to the bottle opening as if he were speaking into a microphone.

"We were trying new tactics, but even so they were no match for us, so I think we played very well in this game, and I think we need to be grateful for our efforts."

Wow!!!

Snap, snap, snap, snap!

applause.

Tang Ye was also applauding, because he felt that Valencia was right.

"With 9 points from 3 games, we've caught up in the standings, and I feel we're in a very good position right now."

Valencia was spinning around as she spoke, and Tang Ye's eyes followed her movements, making it difficult for him to concentrate.

It must have been really tough on him!
"So I think this is a great opportunity for us. We need to capitalize on this momentum and move up the leaderboard. Our current ranking is not satisfactory to our supporters."

Wow!!!

Bang bang bang!
Lingard slapped the locker room floor with his slippers, igniting the players' spirits.

……

Sky Sports interviewed Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: We felt the pressure from Manchester United in the back, but Liverpool are in great form with five wins out of five games, so I don't think it's realistic for Manchester United to overtake us.

Appendix: 2018-19 Premier League Standings (up to Round 5 of the group stage):

1. Liverpool, 15 points.

2. Manchester City, 13 points.

3. Manchester United, 11 points.

4. Chelsea, 11 points.

5. Tottenham Hotspur, 9 points.

The new season has only just begun, and there haven't been many matches played, so the gap between the teams isn't that big yet.

Because of the two draws at the start of the season, Manchester United are now four points behind Liverpool, which is also Manchester United's goal this month.

Chasing Manchester City and Liverpool!
After the Premier League table was fully revealed at the end of the fifth round, the BBC's "Match of the Day" football program interviewed Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand, hoping the Premier League legend would share his thoughts on this season's Premier League standings.

"To be honest, Liverpool is a bit like Manchester City last season, but I never thought they were a strong team. Liverpool's dominance won't last long."

Ferdinand answered the host's question.

"I think Manchester United's primary rival is still Manchester City, and then, Manchester United needs to learn from last season's lessons."

Ferdinand expressed his concerns.

"Last season, our focus on cup competitions caused us to fall behind Manchester City in the standings. You know, I always felt that Manchester United had the ability to win the title last season, but we failed due to some wrong decisions."

"What Manchester United needs to do this season is focus on the league and the Champions League."

Ferdinand's career coincided with Manchester United's golden age.

In the opinion of this legendary defender, it's not enough for Manchester United to revive their fortunes by winning a few small titles.

The Premier League title, and even the Champions League title—these trophies truly represent the Red Devils' revival!

……

Today's headline: Manchester United star Tang Ye donated RMB 1500 million to the disaster area of ​​the 5.9-magnitude earthquake in Mojiang, Yunnan. Together with club stars Rashford, Haller, and Rodri, they donated a total of RMB 124 million to help with the reconstruction work in Mojiang County.

Dongqiudi reprinted from The Sun: With the Champions League group stage approaching, Manchester United players were photographed boarding a plane to Switzerland. Manchester United's first group stage opponent is the 17/18 Swiss Super League champion.

"Well!"

As Tang Ye stepped off the plane, he felt the temperature had suddenly risen considerably.

The weather was also a very nice sunny day!

"You know, Rod, I actually quite enjoy competing outside of the city."

Tang Ye looked up at the sky: "Because I feel like it's not raining anywhere else except in England."

"Haha, we're an island nation, Tom. A gust of wind and it's cloudy."

Ashley Young took off his headphones.

"There's a way. If it's an island, then moving a bit further away from the wind will stop the rain, and you can avoid the sea winds. You can move a little further south; maybe it will be warmer there."

"what fuck...(huh?)"

Tang Ye's words completely stunned Ashley Yang, leaving him unable to think of a rebuttal for a long time.

"Okay, Tom, then you push in the water, and Great Britain's latitude will be lowered by you."

"Then you'll have to help me. How can one person push it? If you really want to, I can help you. Rhodes, you stand on my left, and Sebastian on my right. You're strong, so it'll save me some effort."

Tang Ye has already made the arrangements.

If England and Scotland want to change their bad weather, they can just contact GGBond directly.

The help is free, so there's no need to pay GGBond.

……

Manchester United's goal in the league is to win the title, and their goal in the Champions League group stage is also to finish first.

In the first round of the Champions League, Manchester United will play Bern, while Bayern Munich will face Valencia.

Barring any surprises, Valencia will be no match for Bayern Munich, so if Manchester United wants to finish first in the group stage, they will have to be compared with Bayern on goal difference.

However, both matches started at the same time, so Manchester United had no way of knowing in advance how many goals they would need to score.

"What's the big deal? It's only the first round, no need to be nervous."

Tang Ye was eating his dinner.

"We can easily beat the Swiss Super League teams, even if we lose on goal difference, we can always come back later. But I don't think we'll lose on goal difference; Valencia isn't weak."

Tang Ye glanced in the direction of Captain Valencia and smiled happily.

Valencia, that's the name of their Champions League group stage opponent.

It's also the name of the Manchester United captain!
"Win easily!"

Ashley Young shouted it out.

Valencia's comments in the locker room were perfectly reasonable; Manchester United players have been in excellent form lately!
Young Boys Starting Lineup

Tang Ye squinted as he looked at the starting lineup predictions posted by Van der Gach in the group chat.

Goalkeeper!

do not know.

Defender!

do not know!
Okay, Tang Ye put aside his arrogant attitude and honestly opened the file, which contained an analysis of the technical characteristics of each player.

“You still watching this?”

Mata leaned his head over: "Won't we know after playing a few games?"

I didn't bring anything.

Tang Ye shrugged; his game console was in his apartment.

"Hahaha, then we're doomed!"

Mata and Ashley Young did the same thing, both covering their heads with their hands.

Tang Ye didn't bring any key items, so Manchester United were on high alert.

Do you want to surrender?

Of course we won't surrender!
……

"They are the best team ever!" (Germany)

"The main event!" (English) The most important match.

"Die Meister! (German) Victorious Army"

As the familiar theme song played, Tang Ye unconsciously started singing along, holding the caddy's hand.

Reprint: Manchester United announces squad for away game against Young Boys Bern, Tang Ye and Rashford to start.

Because they were drawn into the same group as Bayern Munich, Manchester United are under considerable pressure to win the group.

When playing against smaller teams, we must win and improve our goal difference; this is the key to today's match!

China Media Group...

It was the same old routine. Manchester United played very steadily at the beginning of the game. Tang Ye received the ball in the middle and controlled it, but didn't pass it forward.

This has been a characteristic of Manchester United for the past two seasons: regardless of the level of the opponent, Manchester United tends to play relatively steadily at the beginning of the game.

The goal was to make Tang Ye grasp the rhythm of his opponent.

Once they had a better understanding of how their opponents played, Manchester United began their attack.

BSC: 38%.

MUN: 62%.

The difference in strength between the two sides was quite obvious. Tang Ye held onto the ball in the middle, directly pushing Manchester United's possession rate to over 60%.

"Oh, this seems to be the first time this season that Manchester United's possession has exceeded 60% in the first 10 minutes!"

"Yes, the combination play between Tang Ye, Mata, and Herrera is excellent, which is the source of Manchester United's high possession rate."

"But Manchester United doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking forward, which is something we don't quite understand."

About 15 minutes into the game, an attack by Young Boys seemed to ignite the anger of the Manchester United players.

Snapped!
Goalkeeper De Gea's clearance went directly into the attacking third.

The attack begins!

Alai and Von Bergen were fighting over it.

The physical confrontation between the two sides was intense, and in the end, neither side managed to get the ball.

"hurry up!"

Haller shouted, and Rashford rushed up quickly, controlling the ball and heading straight for the home team's goal.

The defender is marking him!
Rashford comes to an abrupt stop!

Break down the door!

A powerful shot was delivered, the ball passing under the goalkeeper's arm and successfully entering the goal.

In the 17th minute of the match, striker Rashford scored a goal.

Manchester United open the scoring!
