Chapter 435 A Curved Shot Forces a Draw Against Wolves! Ten Hag Tells Van der Gach a Little Secret

Pinned Post: The Premier League Round 6 match between Manchester United and Wolves is underway. Tang Ye is in the starting lineup, Lingard is on the right wing, and Ziyech is on the left wing.

Despite having Tang Ye in charge, Manchester United were actually quite passive in this match.

With starting right winger Mata sidelined due to illness, neither of Manchester United's two wingers on the pitch are familiar to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye and Lingard both play as attacking midfielders, and the two rarely play together on the field.

Ziyech is even more of a newcomer, having only been with the team for a month and having very little experience starting.

clap clap!

After a one-two pass, Tang Ye regained possession of the ball and ran directly towards the baseline.

The full-back is coming up!
But it doesn't matter, because Tang Ye's plan was to have him interfered with by the full-back.

First, make a few feints.

Tang Ye's increased speed, combined with his incredibly fast feints, had already made Boli's eyes a little blurry.

But Premier League defenders are no pushovers; Boly stayed close, giving Tang Ye no chance to cut inside.

He even guessed that Tang Ye wanted to stab him in the crotch!

There was no other way; Tang Ye had to try a different approach.

Suddenly accelerate and run towards the baseline!
Snapped!
[De Bruyne's cutback cross level 4: Realistic]

Proficiency: 485/600
The ball flew up and headed straight for the middle, where it was eventually caught by Luke Shaw at the far post.

Stop the ball and adjust!

"There's someone behind us!"

With Jimenez pressing from behind, Luke Shaw was startled and quickly kicked the ball away.

The pass wasn't great, but Lingard still got the ball.

boom!
A tackle from Wolves midfielder sent Lingard leaping into the air.

"Depend on!"

Ten Hag angrily flung his hand away.

"Calm down! Calm down when you pass the ball!"

It seems that the Manchester United players were generally a bit nervous today, perhaps influenced by the public opinion environment.

This can be seen from their heart rates. Luke Shaw, Ziyech, and Rodri all have abnormally high heart rates, which is not typical of the first half of the game.

However, Manchester United's frequent attacks did have an effect, and they led in possession for the first 20 minutes.

"what!"

Jota was brought down by Rodri, and the referee promptly showed Rodri a yellow card for the foul.

"This is normal confrontation!"

Rhodes argued with the referee, and Tang Ye came over to help: "This is normal contact! You can't call that!"

Tang Ye and Rodri were just talking nonsense. Although the referee was unlikely to change his mind, the two just wanted to voice their complaints.

"There's nothing we can do about it"

Tang Ye shrugged, then walked to the back with Rodri.

Wolves have been awarded a direct free kick opportunity.

Ruben Neves and Moutinho are standing together.

"That number 8 (Neves) can take free kicks."

Tang Ye reminded his teammates, then stood outside, ready to counterattack at any moment.

Beep——!!!
Moutinho takes a running start!

It's been missed!

really!

Tang Ye rushed over to try and make a tackle, but the distance was too far and it was too late.

Neves!
boom!
A long-range shot was unleashed.

With a not-so-obvious arc, the ball looked like it was about to graz the post and go into the net.

De Gea made the save!

A very dangerous free kick!

Fortunately, Manchester United's goalkeeper was good enough!

"I go!"

Tang Ye supported his waist with both hands, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately began to take his corner kick position.

"As the reds go marching on on on!"

“Just like the Busby babies in days gone by~”

"We'll keep the Red Flags flying high!"

"..."

As the familiar Manchester United anthem played, Old Trafford once again revealed its true colors.

25 minutes into the first half!

After a period of frequent attacks, Manchester United entered a period of slump, and Wolves began to seize this opportunity.

Jota showed off his ball control in the attacking third, and then passed the ball to Jimenez in front of the defenders after they came up.

The Wolves' center is a full 1.9 meters tall, and his arms are incredibly thick.

He looks just like a rugby player!
Open up!
De Jong was right next to him, but Jimenez shielded the ball with his body, leaving De Jong helpless.

Even with a running start, De Jong had absolutely no chance of knocking Jimenez out of the way!
Unable to block the position first, De Jong wanted Jimenez to push him down and draw a foul, but although Jimenez is fierce, he is actually quite civilized on the field.

De Jong didn't fall!

Jimenez passed the ball out!

Jota dribbles and accelerates, trying to enter the Manchester United penalty area!
Smalling, come up here!
Jota will pay the price for his pretentious behavior!

Smalling pressed forward and used his body to block the ball, directly taking it from Jota's feet, and then dribbled forward.

"Go up and get it!"

Ten Hajj's voice came over, and De Jong ran over to meet him at the same time.

Take the ball from Smalling's hands.

Facing interference from Wolves players, De Jong feinted to the left, but actually walked to the left, successfully completing the turn.

coming!

Manchester United's counter-attack!
"De Jong is incredibly fast with the ball!"

"Wolves' mid-lane interception attempt failed!"

De Jong dribbled the ball for more than 40 meters and went straight into the opponent's half.

They could have continued to advance a distance, but De Jong chose to pass the ball.

boom!
Lingard deserves a red line!
Stop the ball, and Lingard starts cutting inside!
"Come!"

Tang Ye reached out for the ball, and Lingard looked up, wanting to take it himself, but the ball was stolen from him.

"I rely on!"

Tang Ye clutched his head, felt a pang of regret, and then immediately began to retreat.

Dongqiudi live match report: De Jong made a 40-meter long-distance run, but Manchester United failed to launch an effective attack.

A cool counterattack, but it didn't have much of an actual effect.

The reason is quite simple; a closer look reveals that Tang Ye was not involved in this counterattack at all.

Manchester United generally can't create depth in attacks where GGBond isn't involved, a fact that seasoned Manchester United fans in the stadium understand all too well.

34 minutes!

boom!
Jimenez's powerful shot hit De Gea, and the ball rolled inside the penalty area.

Bennett arrived in a flash and unleashed a powerful shot.

However, Valencia cleverly came to the goal line to cover, and Bennett's shot was headed away by the Manchester United captain.

call!
Manchester United fans breathed a huge sigh of relief.

As a result, Moutinho caught the ball that Valencia headed out!
"Look at number 8!"

Tang Ye shouted.

but……

It seems like it's getting a little too late?

Moutinho passed the ball back to Neves.

Neves pushes the ball to his right to adjust.

boom!
"Just attack!"

"We have the ball!"

"GOOOO-AAAA-LLLLLL!!!"

"My God, a world-class goal! Ruben Neves' world-class goal!"

Beep beep beep!!!
Neves' long-range shot completely stunned the fans in the stands.

After all, Wolves had previously drawn with Manchester City, so fans had expected them to score first in this match, but no one expected it to be in this way.

Both shots were blocked by Manchester United players.

And then, with his third shot, he scored a world-class goal!

Well, there's nothing I can do about it, bro.

Wolves players rushed out to celebrate, and Neves delivered a knee slide.

With his hands on his waist, Tang Ye was at a loss for words.

That's really amazing!
The replay was on the big screen, and Ten Hag urgently gathered the Manchester United players together.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just one goal conceded."

The players formed a circle, with Ten Hag's hands in the middle.

"I need you guys to hold your ground, that's the most important thing right now. They'll definitely attack our left flank in the next few minutes, so we need to hold them off first..."

Ten Hag said a lot, but in the end, the players were only allowed to return to the field after the referee warned them.

Tang Ye scratched the itch on his neck, and a map of the stadium appeared in his mind.

Think of a way, think of a way...

Tang Ye is under a lot of pressure now because he promised Rashford that he would carry him to victory.

It is indeed a terrible thing to be unable to keep a promise!

"Just adjust it!"

Valencia's voice came over, and Tang Ye gave a thumbs-up to his teammates behind and in front of him.

With more than 10 minutes left in the first half, let's see if we can turn the score around!
"Wolve! (Wolves)"

"Wolve!"

The away fans started to rally, but Tang Ye was not intimidated.

In the remainder of the first half, Tang Ye increased his frequency of asking for the ball, wanting to use his abilities to help the team accomplish some things.

He did find an opportunity!

With a half-jump, Tang Ye lightly poked Neves through the groin with his toe.

With a chuckle, I approached the vicinity of the arc.

The ball was kicked to the right front, and Tang Ye's center of gravity suddenly began to sink, as if he was about to rush into the penalty area from the right side of the defender.

Just as the defender shifted his weight, Tang Ye took a step and changed direction to the left front.

Tang Ye's control of the distance was very precise; Cody's outstretched foot just missed the ball.

And he went all the way down!
Wow!!!

Once inside the penalty area, Tang Ye used a rhythm of alternating fast and slow movements to protect himself and prevent the opponent from having a chance to steal the ball.

Bennett came over from the side and blocked Tang Ye's path with his body!
Grass!
Sensing something was wrong, Tang Ye prepared to open the door, but lost his balance the moment he lifted his leg and fell to the ground.

"Eh!"

Ten Hag rushed to the fourth official: "Penalty! Penalty! Foul!"

Bennett cleared the ball.

It was a corner kick for Manchester United, but no one from the Manchester United team went to the corner flag; they all rushed towards the referee.

"Someone was pushed!"

"That's a foul!"

Haller yelled at the referee, and Moutinho tried to stop him, but Haller shook him off.

He was very close to Tang Ye just now, so he could see him clearly.

Tom did not dive; his balance was disrupted by a Wolves player.

Tang Ye lay on the ground for a while, then tried to stand up, but Lingard pushed him back down. Tang Ye: ...

Okay, I'll lie down for a while longer then.

It all depends on the teammates' efforts.

"Beep beep beep!!!"

Manchester United fans urged the referee to award a penalty.

Manchester United are currently trailing, and the penalty opportunity is crucial for them.

"Yes, the situation on the scene is a bit chaotic. Judging from the slow-motion replay, it definitely should have been a penalty."

The CCTV commentator offered his perspective.

On the field, Manchester United players tried to get close to the referee, while Wolves players tried to push the Manchester United players away and prevent them from getting close to the referee.

Ultimately, the referee did not award a penalty.

“xuuu——!!!”

The crowd booed, and the large screen showed Tang Ye's head.

At this moment, Tang Ye was sitting in the penalty area, gesturing innocently to the referee.

"Aren't you going to give me some?"

Fuck you, referee!

[You relied on skill to beat Manchester City, then on luck to beat Manchester United, right? The conclusion is Manchester United > Manchester City]

[The referee didn't take it, so I just ate it.]

The FA has started assigning tasks.

So my GGBond was broken for nothing?

Lin Jiade helped Tang Ye up from the ground.

"Depend on!"

This foul didn't result in a penalty kick, and Tang Ye is in a terrible mood right now.

"xuuu!!!"

"Beep beep beep!!!"

Manchester United fans at home made a scene to express their dissatisfaction with the referee.

"Fuck!"

"You motherfucking referee!"

"Get lost!"

"..."

"Beep, beep beep!!!"

At the end of the first half, Wolves were temporarily leading Manchester United by one goal thanks to Ruben Neves' superb long-range shot.

The camera panned to the stands, where Manchester United fans were still venting their frustration with the referee.

I'm truly impressed.

Tang Ye walked towards Rodri.

……

Halftime report: Neves scores a world-class goal! Manchester United trail 0-1 at home against Wolves; Tang Ye falls in the penalty area but the referee does not award a penalty.

"I think this referee is just eating shit."

Back in the locker room, Tang Ye immediately started cursing.

He remained relatively calm and did not curse on the field.

Tang Ye didn't want to get a yellow card.

"Okay, okay, it's nothing, it's nothing."

Luke Shaw nudged Tang Ye toward his seat, where the latter sat and pondered.

[Mission Progress: Winning Streak (2/4)]

He now has a side quest that rewards him with a World Cup semi-finalist player chest, with a four-game winning streak in England.

A winning streak is great, but if you draw or lose even one game, you have to start all over again.

Tang Ye still wants to get the new template, and he really wants to lead the team to the top two in the Premier League standings.

"Let me first address some of the issues we encountered in the first half..."

As Ten Hach began to speak, Tang Ye's thoughts also drifted away from the system.

On the other side, in the away team's locker room, Wolves manager Nuno was also doing his work.

"Guys, we're leading by one goal now, not by much, but you need to know who our opponents are."

Nuno's large beard is very eye-catching, and it gives him a particularly dignified appearance.

"Manchester United! We're in the lead, Manchester United!"

“We drew with Manchester City, but that wasn’t the best result yet. The opportunity is right in front of us; we had a chance to beat Manchester United today, so I need you guys to be focused and reduce your mistakes!”

Nuno signaled to the Wolves players not to be distracted by the fans in the stands.

The decision has been made, and it was the referee's decision, so the Wolves players have no reason to feel guilty.

"That wasn't a penalty, that absolutely wasn't a penalty. I want you to understand that!"

"3, 2, 1!"

"victory!"

Currently, Wolves seem to be in better form than Manchester United.

That's just how it is; the leading side is indeed like that.

In the players' tunnel, Tang Ye looked in the direction of Bennett. It was because of this opponent's foul in the first half that he fell in the penalty area.

"never mind"

Valencia took Tang Ye's hand and whispered something, to which the latter nodded gently.

"gone!"

"come on!"

"come on! Come on!"

……

"Alright, everyone, welcome back. This is..."

"Wolves led by one goal in the first half, but we saw that their advantage wasn't actually that significant. Now it's a matter of whether Manchester United can capitalize on the remaining 45 minutes of the second half."

The commentators gave the fans a brief analysis of the current Premier League standings.

Liverpool and Manchester City are both very strong.

If Manchester United fail to win all their league matches in September, the gap between them and the top two teams will inevitably widen.

That's how top-tier football leagues are; you can't expect to be the only strong team in the entire league.

Neither side made any substitutions in the second half.

boom!
Rodri and Jota collided, but Rodri managed to dribble the ball away using his physical advantage.

Looking for Tang Ye!
Tang Ye is locked down by the defender!

There was no other way. Rodri dribbled forward a few steps, and after the opposing players came to press him, he sent a long pass to Ziyech.

Ziyech stopped the ball!

The bottom is starting to form!

Ziyech's speed is still good; he broke through the defense and successfully entered the flank.

Pass it back to Luke Shaw!
"Cut it in!"

Alai shouted, "Luke Shaw has started cutting inside!"

Look in the direction of the goal.

Haller and Lingard are both ready in the penalty area!
boom!
Luke Shaw was knocked down by a Wolves player!
The defense hadn't arrived yet, so Wolves had no choice but to resort to a tactical foul.

Luke Shaw got up from the ground, and the referee awarded Manchester United a direct free kick.

Tang Ye quickly ran over and began to observe from behind the white line drawn by the referee.

The ball wasn't directly facing the goal; in fact, it was quite far off-center.

Rhodesley could also see the problem, and covered his mouth, asking in a low voice, "How do we do it?"

"Shoot directly"

Tang Ye gave his answer.

Sniffing, he gestured for Ziyech, who could also take direct free kicks, to stand next to him.

Manchester United's direct free kick!

Beep!
Tang Ye started his run-up from the left.

The supporting foot is placed on the left side of the ball.

Tilt your body!

Tighten the core, Tang Ye swings his leg.

Snapped!
With a single kick, the ball spun incredibly fast.

[Son Heung-min's Curved Free Kick Template]!
The ball was aimed at the top right corner of the goal!

Tang Ye was facing the wall of players, but his free kick had a wide arc, completely bypassing the wall in front of him.

It grazed the post and went into the net!

"GOOOO-AAAA-LLLLLL!!!"

"The ball is in!"

"Tang Ye!"

"Tang Ye scores!"

"That was a stunning, curving shot!"

The commentator shouted it out, and Old Trafford burst into flames at that moment.

"Roar!!!"

boom!
With arms outstretched, Tang Ye dashed forward, tearing out his favorite three stripes on the grass.

The billboards surrounding the venue were very cooperative.

【adidas】

Nothing is Impossible

"Roar!!!"

With a jump and an uppercut, Tang Ye unleashed the fury he felt from the penalty kick in the first half.

You have gained 15 comeback points.

Haha, Tom

Valencia hugged Tang Ye and patted his back: "I knew it!"

Boom!

Bang bang bang!
"Tang Ye!"

"Tang Ye!"

After the score was tied, the Manchester United fans finally got into a good mood.

On the bench, Ten Hag and Van der Gaghe sat together.

The Manchester United assistant coach is carefully reviewing Tang Ye's free kick on his computer.

"Hmm...when did he learn this?"

I remember I only took one day off this season. If Tang Ye is practicing something new, he should know about it.

"Oh, but this is similar to a 'hooked arrow,' isn't it?"

Van der Gach found the answer, but the answer he found was not correct.

Right to his right, Ten Hach looked left and right, and after confirming that no cameras were pointed at him, he touched his chin.

He leaned his head against Van der Gach and then covered his mouth as he spoke.

Actually, I taught him.

"what?"

Van der Gach stared with wide eyes.

"It's good that you know; there's no need to tell anyone else."
