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

Chapter 438 Smalling's own goal gifts Manchester United with a perfect record in all competitions in September

"There's some chaos on the pitch right now; Manchester United players are complaining to the referee!"

The referee was quite decisive, awarding Manchester United a penalty after he ran up to them.

However, Manchester United players do not seem to be preparing for a penalty kick yet.

Because their center is still lying on the ground and hasn't gotten up!

Diop tried to come over, but Tang Ye pushed him away.

"Go away!"

Tang Ye saw it very clearly when Alai fell because they were so close together.

That guy on the other side, number 23, did it on purpose!

"Beep beep beep!!!"

Fans in the stands were making a false whistle, and Manchester United's team doctor had already entered the field.

"call……"

Tang Ye and Mata stood together, watching the team doctor treat Ale's wounds.

"This... should be alright, right?"

Tang Ye blinked.

The team doctor was spraying something on Ale to relieve the pain. Based on Tang Ye's experience of being treated by the team doctor, Sebastian should be fine.

“It should be fine.”

Mata nodded slightly. At that moment, Valencia ran over and pushed Tang Ye into the penalty area: "Prepare for a penalty kick!"

Tang Ye is the team's first-choice penalty taker, and Valencia doesn't want his form to be affected by the injured Haller.

Since the captain had said so, Tang Ye had no choice but to pick up the ball in the penalty area and slowly juggle it to get a feel for it.

"Alright, Manchester United's team doctor is helping Haller off the field."

"Judging from this, Alai's condition shouldn't be too bad..."

"Let Tang Ye handle Manchester United's penalty!"

Tang Ye placed the ball on the penalty spot and began to retreat.

You purchased Tangye's chewing gum.

The home team fans in the stands tried every means to disturb Tang Ye, but Tang Ye was very calm at the moment.

This mentality is the reason why he became Manchester United's first penalty taker and is able to stand here!

Fabianski hopped and skipped around, while Tang Ye chewed his gum.

Beep! !

Take a running start and walk in an arc!
Let's change the rhythm!
Accelerate, decelerate, accelerate again, and once the supporting foot is firmly planted, the leg swing slows down again.

Pay attention to the direction in which the goalkeeper shifts his weight.

Shoot in the opposite direction!

boom!
A low shot was delivered.

The ball went in!
Dongqiudi Live Match Report: Haller won a penalty in the penalty area, and Tang Chu calmly converted the penalty, making the score 2-0!

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye led his teammates out, and as soon as they returned to the stadium, Ale joined the celebrating crowd.

Pellegrini's smile froze.

Less than 30 minutes into the game, West Ham United were down by two goals, and their opponent was Manchester United.

This is absolutely a hellish start!
"Are you alright, Sebastian?"

Tang Ye reached out and slapped Alai's arm, and the latter promptly grabbed Tang Ye's head.

He didn't answer Tang Ye's question, but instead shouted, "Awesome, Tom!"

"You can just walk in."

Tang Ye pursed his lips and shrugged, then pointed his index finger at the away team's stands.

Wow!!!

After the restart, players from both sides began warming up in front of their benches, with Manchester United's youth academy player McTominay already preparing.

Manchester United and Valencia have a Champions League match on October 2nd, so it's expected that McTominay will come in to replace Rodri or De Jong.

And Ziyech too! The substitute winger is ready too!
"Anderson, make a diagonal run into the penalty area!"

"Hey, Anderson made a smart choice!"

West Ham United executed a cross-cutting run in the attacking third, with Arnautovic dropping back and using his body to block De Jong.

Anderson arrived near the top of the key without any pressure!

Rodri is in a tough spot right now because he has to defend against two West Ham United players at the same time for a short period of time.

As expected, Rodri's defense failed, and Anderson's through ball accurately found Yarmolenko on the right wing.

Yarmolenko crossed the line!

Manchester United players are under a lot of pressure right now.

Snapped!
The ball is crossed out.

Inside the penalty area is Arnautovic, who has just completed a pick-and-roll.

The ball control, adjustment, and powerful shot were executed in one smooth motion.

Although Arnautovic fell to the ground after the shot, it must be said that the shot was really well done.

“GOOO—AAAAA—LLLLL!!!”

"1:2!"

West Ham United have pulled one back!

West Ham United truly deserves to be one of the best Premier League teams in September; the most notable feature of this attack was its fluidity.

The goal was scored so quickly that some Manchester United fans were still in a daze when it happened.

"We should take a look at the flanks."

Tang Ye sighed, while Rashford remained silent.

Manchester United have a corner kick attack in the final moments of the first half.

Tang Ye stood outside the human wall, ready.

The stoppage time has already expired, and Manchester United only had one touch and shot opportunity after the corner kick was taken.

Luke Shaw made a gesture to Tang Ye.

Beep!
Snapped!
Take the corner kick and head straight for Tang Ye on the outside!
Tang Ye ran forward a few steps quickly and then lifted his right leg.

Despite being challenged by a West Ham United defender, Tang Ye still managed to complete his shot.

Snapped!
Rub the outside of your foot!
But it flew away!
"Grass!"

Tang Ye plopped down on the ground, clutching his head tightly with both hands.

He couldn't even imagine how cool it would be if he scored!

"Beep, beep beep!!"

The first half is over!

Rodri ran over and found Tang Ye sitting on the ground: "You're so handsome!"

"But it didn't go in, damn it!"

Rodri tried to pull Tang Ye up from the ground, but seeing that Tang Ye seemed to want to sit on the grass for a while, he simply patted his shoulder.

Tang Ye was still on the ground regretting his earlier shot with the outside of his foot.

……

Dongqiudi Halftime Report: Manchester United lead West Ham United 2-1 at halftime. Tang Ye attempted a strong outside-of-the-foot shot under pressure, but ultimately missed the target.

[How dare the West Ham United defensive midfielder interfere with my King of Football's long-range shot!]

[Just drag this Rice out and castrate him. But wow, he's really handsome, and incredibly talented too.]

What's the use of talent if you mess with me, King Tang? You'll get punished.

What about Martial? Is Ten Hag not planning to use Martial anymore?

Martial has gone to work in a factory to earn player wages for Manchester United.

"I'm seriously impressed, damn it!"

Entering the locker room, Tang Ye felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Ha ha!"

Rhodes and Lingard actually mocked him!

"Hey Rod! I really almost did, I'm not kidding."

The younger brother, Rod, actually thought his older brother's outside-of-the-foot curl was a joke; that's absolutely outrageous.

Sitting down next to Rashford, he said, "Honestly, if Rice hadn't headed me, that ball would have gone in. I feel great."

As he spoke, Tang Ye reached out and touched the back of his foot.

I still remember the feeling of that instant impact; it was a very comfortable sensation.

So Tang Ye wasn't lying; if there were no interference, it would have been a world-class wave.

"Is this all you think about all day?"

Van der Gach stood in front of Tang Ye.

Tang Ye wanted to explain something, but Ten Hach had already started talking about tactics.

"Tom, forget about your wonder goal for now, let's win the game first, okay?"

Ten Hah's words calmed Tang Ye down.

Take a moment to check the system.

[Mission Progress: Winning Streak (3/4)]

Mr. Eric is right.

Winning the game is the most important thing right now, no matter what.

……

The second half was about to begin, and Tang Ye and Rice were chatting happily in the tunnel.

Tang Ye also realized that Rice's voice was so pleasant to listen to.

Since that's the case, Tang Ye decided not to hold the world-class goal in the first half against him.

"Welcome back, everyone! This is the 7th round of the Premier League..."

At the start of the second half, Manchester United made a substitution.

This was a protective substitution, with Martial replacing Haller, who had been injured in the first half.

McTominay and Ziyech remained on standby.

"COYI! (Go, Hammer Gang!)"

"COYI!"

"COYI COYI COYI!"

West Ham United are now down by one goal and are eager to take points from Manchester United.

This has led to the fans' current high morale.

The fans' voices did seem to help a little, as West Ham's possession gradually increased in the second half.

"I come!"

boom!
With a sliding tackle, Tang Ye intercepted Zabaleta directly on the wing.

"Beautiful, Tang Ye!"

"Manchester United can use this opportunity to launch a counter-attack!"

The players reacted quickly. After Tang Ye made the tackle, Luke Shaw immediately rushed forward, controlled the ball, and accelerated forward. Luke Shaw was very fast, so West Ham United players had virtually no chance of successfully tracking back.

Tang Ye also got up from the ground and hurried forward!

With some distance to the baseline, Luke Shaw pushed the ball towards the baseline, and Rashford, who had run behind him, easily caught it.

Snapped!
Pass it back to Martial!
Martial controls the ball in the middle!

"Stop hitting! Stop hitting!"

Tang Ye shouted.

They are on their way!
Martial and Mata combined to dribble towards the right baseline.

Tang Ye has arrived!
He signaled to his teammates not to pass the ball in a hurry, and Tang Ye and Rice stuck together.

Pretend to walk to the right, but actually suddenly turn around and rush over to grab the ball!

Martial played a through ball to Tang Ye!

Stop the ball forward, shake off Rice, and dribble directly into the penalty area.

"Oh!!!"

"Beep beep beep!"

The penalty area was very crowded with defenders, but Tang Ye remained relatively calm.

Let's change the rhythm!
Change again!

With a combination of fast and slow movements, and by adjusting his weight distribution as Messi took a step and lowered his shoulder, Tang Ye walked past the West Ham United defender without any physical contact.

???

Goalkeeper Fabianski is a little confused.

Hey!

With a smile on his face, Tang Ye completed his shot.

“GOOO—AAAAAA—LLLL!!!”

The ball went in!
In the 62nd minute of the second half, Manchester United extended their lead to 3-1!

He rushed out and slid on his knees in celebration, letting out a fierce roar towards the home team's stands.

Remembering something, Tang Ye stood on the sideline and made a motion to move his right wrist.

【Flame Dragon Armor!】

【Combined! 】

"GGBond!"

With 75 minutes remaining, Manchester United had used all three of their substitutions.

Then something bad happened.

Yarmolenko crossed the ball into the penalty area after reaching the byline.

Worried that Arnautovic would try to get a header, Smalling, who had arrived in position early, tried to clear the ball, but ended up kicking it directly into the goal.

"..."

Just over ten minutes ago, the West Ham United goalkeeper was completely dumbfounded.

Now it's the Manchester United goalkeeper's turn to be dumbfounded.

Sitting on the ground, Smalling covered his head, somewhat embarrassed to look De Gea in the eye.

"it's okay no problem"

Luke Shaw ran over to comfort his teammate, and Tang Ye also came over and patted Smalling on the head.

……

Dongqiudi Match Report: Manchester United defeated West Ham United 3-2 away from home, achieving a perfect record in all competitions in September. Tang Ye scored twice, while Smalling gifted the team an own goal. (21923 comments)

Back in the locker room, Tang Ye took off his jersey and threw it in a basket, leaving only a heart rate monitor around his chest during the first half.

Although the temperature wasn't high today, it was really stuffy, which made Tang Ye feel dizzy after the game.

However, the result of this match was still good!

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

[Status: Completed]

[Mission Reward: World Cup Semi-Finalist Chest]

In the last game of September, his winning streak was finally completed!
"Wowhoo!!"

The atmosphere in the locker room is quite nice; currently, only Smalling is silent.

"Chris, it's okay."

Van der Gach put his hand on Smalling's shoulder.

Own goals are unacceptable for any defender, especially a top Premier League defender like Smalling.

"I shouldn't have blocked that shot, but I was just afraid Arnautovic would get the ball and shoot."

Smalling crossed his arms and looked very depressed.

Tang Ye was squatting on the ground, studying Alai's feet.

"Please, Tom, you're not a doctor."

"Sebastian, I get my ankles stepped on all the time, so don't worry, I know a thing or two about it."

Tang Ye seemed very confident, wanting to use his own abilities to analyze Alai's injury.

"Okay, so what did you figure out?"

"Um……"

Tang Ye pinched his chin with one hand and thought for a moment.

"I think your ankle was stepped on."

"..."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Alai tried to pat Tang Ye on the head, but the latter reacted quickly and dodged.

Don't worry, Sebastian, you'll be fine.

Tang Ye sat back down and quickly noticed Van der Gaël, Valencia, and Smalling chatting across from him, so he sneaked over to listen.

"Where are your clothes?"

Van der Gach reached out and touched Tang Ye's body, his hand covered in sweat, which he quickly wiped on Tang Ye's shorts.

"Chris, you don't need to be sad, we've already won."

Tang Ye chewed his gum and said nonchalantly.

“我进了2个啊，如果你没那个乌龙的话那我第二个球不是白进了。2：1我们赢了，3：2也是赢”

唐业的聪明大脑快速运转：“2：1和3：2都是3个积分然后1个净胜球”

Smalling finally smiled and gave Tang Ye a fist bump.

"Amazing, Tom!"

Valencia pulled Tang Ye aside, somewhat surprised by what the Manchester United midfielder had just done.

Comforting teammates is generally something that veteran players on the team should do.

I never expected that Tang Ye, a 19-year-old player, could show such great magic.

"Definitely, those two goals weren't easy to score. I feel like I'm on fire right now."

Tang Ye rubbed his yellow hair and styled it slightly in front of the mirror.

"No, I wasn't talking about the goal, I meant Chris's."

Not knowing why Tang Ye misunderstood, Valencia explained it again.

"Oh, that was too easy, much easier than scoring a goal. Say what you want to say, it was just an own goal, Chris didn't need to be upset."

……

The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) has nominated the Premier League Player of the Month for November:
1. Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool.

2. Tang Ye, Manchester United.

3. Harry Kane, Tottenham Hotspur.

4. Mahrez, Manchester City.

5. Aguero, Manchester City.

Manchester Evening News headline: With a five-game winning streak, can Manchester United take the lead in October?
Manchester United are currently some distance behind the top two teams in the standings, a gap that Premier League fans have been closely watching.

The Manchester Evening News launched a poll on Twitter to discuss this.

The poll questioned whether Manchester United could finish in the top two of the Premier League table in October.

A staggering 65% of fans believe Manchester United can take the top spot in October, while only 35% think they will remain in third place.

The reason for this vote is that Liverpool and Manchester City have a match scheduled for early October.

In a points-based competition between strong teams, Manchester United's winning streak isn't entirely effective.

They still need to wait for Manchester City and Liverpool to make mistakes!

If Manchester City loses the game, Manchester United can jump directly to second place!

……

Manchester City midfielder Fernandinho: Manchester United's pursuit puts pressure on us, which is a good thing, and we will find ways to do better.

Van Dijk: You asked me if I can hold onto first place, and I think of course I can, because we have improved in many ways this season compared to last season.

On the train back to base, Tang Ye began his operation.

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

You have obtained the World Cup Semifinals Treasure Chest.

Should I put the World Cup semi-finalist treasure chest into the investment jar to start the investment task?

[Objective: World Cup Champion's Chest]

Next month is a crucial period for Manchester United's push for a higher ranking in the league. Tang Ye could actually use the World Cup semi-final treasure chest to improve his abilities.

But after learning what the investment reward was, Tang Ye changed his mind.

World Cup Champion's Chest!
That sounds impressive! Tang Ye has no choice but to take on this financial management task.

[Objective: World Cup Semi-Finalist Chest → World Cup Champion Chest]

[Task: 5 Premier League points]

[Current progress: 0/5]

wow！

Tang Ye chewed the gum in his mouth and smiled.

This treasure chest upgrade quest is much simpler than I expected!

Tang Ye took out his phone to check the team's upcoming schedule.

October 2nd, Manchester United vs Valencia (Champions League Group Stage Round 10).

October 6th, Manchester United vs. Newcastle (Premier League Round 8).

On November 20th, Chelsea will face Manchester United (Premier League Round 9).

If he continues his winning streak, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Tang Ye will be able to claim his World Cup championship prize after the match against Chelsea.

Newcastle is indeed not strong.

The problem is that Chelsea is not an easy opponent to deal with!

……

Reporters revealed that the 30-person shortlist for the 2018 Golden Globe Awards is expected to be announced within two weeks.
