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

Chapter 450: South Korea has Son Heung-min and Lee Sang-hyeok; Tang Ye returns as a substitute.
Dongqiudi Match Report: Tang Ye and Rashford were rested; Manchester United lost 1-2 to Chelsea away in the EFL Cup and were eliminated. (17235 comments)

It was a bit of a pity that this match was played poorly.

Despite the absence of key players and the fact that it was an away game, Manchester United's performance on the field was actually quite good.

If Haller had been more clinical in front of goal, Manchester United might have been able to beat Chelsea outright.

"Glory Glory Man United..."

The away team fans in the stands sang their team song.

Despite losing their first game in November, Manchester United fans are not too upset.

Because they know their team is playing a long game!
The elimination from the EFL Cup is preparation for the league and the Champions League!

……

Repost: Tang Ye and his girlfriend appeared at Incheon Munhak Stadium to watch the League of Legends final between IG and FNC. This stadium was the venue for the 2002 World Cup match between South Korea and Portugal.

I guessed right, guys!

[This isn't just a random guess; there are very few things that can attract my attention, Tang Qiuwang.]

[GGBond, get back here! Manchester United got thrashed by Chelsea!]

No way, who does she think she is worthy of being my GGBond girlfriend? Let me have her!

"Holy crap, it's so cold!"

Tang Ye rubbed his hands together and curled up into a ball. He hadn't expected the temperature to drop so drastically at night.

Why isn't it as cold from morning to the next morning as it is in Manchester?

Do you need a jacket?

Zhou also took off her coat: "If you catch a cold, you won't be able to play the game, right?"

"Wow, thanks bro."

Tang Ye instinctively called out "brother," but he wasn't going to correct him.

Good relationships are like brothers, regardless of gender!

The match was about to begin, and Tang Ye's head appeared on the big screen.

Wow!!!

The number of football fans in South Korea is quite considerable. In addition, FNC is a British club, and at least half of the audience here today are also football fans.

"Tom, are you cheering us on?"

"Tom, cheer us on!"

The British in the stands shouted.

There was even someone in the audience who happened to be wearing a Manchester United jersey.

amount……

Tang Ye scratched his nose: "I'm cheering for LPL (this is FNC's opponent, IG)."

"Oh!"

"NO!!!"

"Tom, NO!!!"

……

Dongqiudi Match Report: IG 3-0 FNC to win the S8 World Championship, Tang Ye scores a hat trick.

The battle report included a photo of Tang Ye wearing Zhou Ye's baseball cap.

"May I ask you a few questions, Tang Ye?"

After the match, Tang Ye was interviewed by reporters in the stands.

"Yes, of course."

"What are your overall impressions of coming from England to South Korea to watch the game?"

"Um……"

Tang Ye glanced at the stage and said, "It's alright. I feel like Fnatic's jungler is a bit of a problem. He seemed really strong in the group stage; I saw news praising him, but he completely failed to perform in this match."

"His jungle clearing rhythm was completely controlled. I felt like he didn't even know where the enemy jungler was. How could they possibly win? With the jungler at such a huge disadvantage, all three lanes were unplayable."

"..."

After Tang Ye finished speaking, the reporter stared at him blankly.

"Um... what's wrong?"

"Actually, Tang Ye, what I want you to talk about is your feeling about coming here to watch the game, not your feeling about the game itself."

The reporter explained.

Clearly, Tang Ye's understanding of the problem was slightly flawed.

"Ha ha"

Next to him, Zhou also laughed, and then sneezed.

"Oh, watching the game. Since I only got this vacation at the last minute, I think it's all fine, except the plane was flying a bit slow. It would have been better if it had flown faster."

"so……"

Unexpectedly, Tang Ye complained about the plane's speed, and the reporter's prepared draft suddenly became insufficient.

"China and South Korea are in the same group for the AFC Asian Cup in the UAE next January. What are your thoughts on this match? This might be your first time facing Son Heung-min in the national team."

Yes, that's right.

Tang Ye reached out to touch his hair, but because he was wearing a hat, his hand ended up touching the brim of the hat.

"I'm still quite looking forward to it, because I know South Korea has many good players, including..."

Tang Ye was about to speak when he suddenly stopped.

"Tang Ye?"

"Including Son Heung-min...and then, and then..."

Okay, Tang Ye doesn't remember which players were on the South Korean team.

"This……"

The South Korean reporter stood before him, looking aggrieved, and Tang Ye blushed instantly.

"No, no, I didn't mean anything by it. South Korea does have many great players, and of course, Son Heung-min is the best."

"Could you name another South Korean player?"

I thought the South Korean reporter would let me off the hook like domestic reporters would, but I didn't expect him to actually attack me.

"..."

Tang Ye looked at Zhou Ye beside him: "Is Ki Sung-yueng from South Korea or Japan?"

"Don't ask me!"

"Oh, there should also be Ki Sung-yueng."

Tang Ye looked at the reporter and gave an answer that he himself was not entirely sure about.

"There's one more, Li, Prime Minister Li."

Oh, no, that's not right.

Tang Ye shook his head and gave up; he just couldn't remember.

I really can't ask anymore.

If the reporter continued to ask, Tang Ye could only say Faker.

……

Nikkan Sports – Contempt from a Great Power? Tang Ye was unable to name any South Korean players. South Korea had previously lost to Tang Ye's Chinese men's national team in the Asian Cup qualifiers.

Republic of Korea Football – Tang Ye has already left South Korea by plane, and it is unclear whether he will be able to play in the match against Bournemouth two days later.

Dongqiudi News Column: IG jungler Ning posted a photo of himself with Tang Ye on Weibo. The caption read: "Learning rhythm from the master (Keep it up) (Strive) (Champion)."

Is he referring to Lee Sang-hyeok?

[Reporter: Who's on the Korean team? GGBond: Faker!]

Although Faker didn't participate in S8, he was mentioned during the finals.

[It's really not Tang Ye's fault; South Korea only has Son Heung-min and Ki Sung-yueng playing in the Premier League, right?]

[Whatever, I'll watch Tang Ye beat Faker next January.]

Half a day after the match ended, Tang Ye was already in the sky.

Fearing the negative impact of the incident, Tang Ye apologized to South Korean fans on Twitter after being reminded by his agent, Bo'er.

I'm really sorry, Tang Ye watched some highlights of the Manchester United vs. Chelsea match, and then started browsing Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports betting platform).

Dongqiudi reposted an article from Titan Sports Weekly—Tang Ye apologized on social media, stating that he meant to refer to South Korean midfielder Lee Chung-ryong, not Lee Sang-hyeok. However, Lee Chung-ryong is actually a forward.

I rely on?

Realizing something was wrong, Tang Ye quickly exited the app, opened Twitter, and edited what he had just posted.

Now there won't be any mistakes.

Repost: Tang Ye changed "South Korean midfielder Lee Chung-ryong" to "South Korean player Lee Chung-ryong" after being reminded.

……

Back at the training base, Tang Yeping lay on the grass, enjoying the long-awaited sunshine.

Of course, he wasn't alone; Dennis was lying next to Tang Ye. They had already finished their morning training session.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, Tang Ye and Dennis, who were 20 years apart in age, quickly became good friends.

But thinking about it carefully, Tang Ye will be 41 next year, so it's normal for him to have a friend in his 40s.

"Dennis, the clouds are blocking the sun, so why not hang a big fan on the plane and blow all the clouds away?"

“People here only get a short time to get some sun each week. If it were me, I wouldn’t be happy. Dennis, I’m willing to donate my ideas to the British government for free.” Tang Ye squinted and looked closely.

Although it's a sunny day today, it's not a truly sunny day in the strictest sense.

Tang Ye could see several wispy clouds floating below the sun, which were the enemies of the inhabitants of Great Britain.

Tang Ye has never been polite to his enemies.

"You're very considerate, Tom."

Dennis imitated Tang Ye, placing his hands behind his head so that the grass wouldn't prick his head when he lay down on the grass.

"Okay, Tom, I'm going to take a nap. If you see Eric coming, remember to call me."

"Sure, don't worry, Dennis."

Tang Ye crossed his legs.

This moment felt like being back in school, keeping watch for my classmates.

Tang Ye would not allow the coach to hurt his classmates.

Of course, he wouldn't allow Mr. Eric to harm his Mr. Dennis.

You have received a new side quest.

The Premier League has officially entered a three-way battle. As the oldest player in Manchester United and also their general, you should step up and protect your younger teammates at this time.

[Target: 10 Premier League assists]

[Reward: Random Serie A Club Chest (at least Intermediate Level)]

The system and Tom were thinking the same thing.

He also wanted Tom to protect the team and his teammates!
……

"China Media Group! This is a live broadcast of the Premier League Round 11 match between Bournemouth and Manchester United."

"As you can see, Tang Ye is on the bench for this match because he just had a short vacation."

"Yes, but Tang Ye arrived in Manchester two days ago, so I feel there's a pretty good chance he'll play in this match."

After the match started, the two CCTV commentators started talking about Tang Ye, and soon the conversation turned to the reporter asking Tang Ye to name the South Korean players.

"Well, you can't really blame him. It's true, besides Son Heung-min, there aren't any other players on this South Korean team who have made a name for themselves yet. Of course, by 'name for someone,' we mean someone with a market value of at least 3000 million euros."

The first half has reached the 20th minute.

I don't know if it was because Tang Ye didn't play, but Manchester United had the lead in possession in this game.

However, both teams have had roughly the same number of attacks so far, which has led home fans to believe that they can manage a draw against Manchester United.

"Up the Cherries!"

"Up the Cherreis!"

The fans were shouting very loudly.

The seat in front of him was empty, so Tang Ye put his feet up on the back of the chair in front of him.

At this point, Manchester United's attack began.

boom!
After making the interception, Rodri played a through ball directly to Martial up front.

"Martial!"

"He's controlling the ball very well; let's try and see if there's an opportunity."

Cutting inside from the left to the center, Martial chose to shoot directly rather than pass to the wing.

Snapped!
The ball bounced on the grass, grazed the right post, and went into the net.

It hit the bottom right corner, a blind spot.

The ball went in!
"Wow"

Manchester United opened the scoring, and the players on the bench quickly applauded.

Tang Ye looked at De Rong beside him: "I feel like we've already won."

Tang Ye's favorite thing to do is analyze the rhythm of the game between the two sides.

If Tang Ye feels that his team has a better rhythm than the opponent, he will open the champagne early; he really likes to do this.

Manchester United quickly entered halftime with a 1-0 lead. Tang Ye, a substitute player, slipped back to the locker room, chatting with De Jong as he walked.

"Those two full-backs on the other side are so clueless, haha."

Tang Ye smiled happily, and soon Ten Hah arrived.

"Stop laughing, you'll be on in the second half."

Ten Hag pushed Tang Ye back to his position and then began his summary of the first half.

"Our attacks down the right flank weren't very threatening. If we maintain this level of intensity, we won't be able to score in the upcoming matches against Bayern and Manchester City."

"Of course, I'll only talk about today's match."

Ten Hag stared at the players: "Bournemouth didn't really focus on defending the flanks, so what should we do? We should attack down the flanks, move the full-backs up, and then we can successfully launch an attack. That's the logic!"

That's the truth!
To be honest, Tang Ye always felt that Mr. Eric made a lot of sense when he said that.

Mr. Eric is a reasonable person.

"They're here, get ready!"

"3, 2, 1!"

"Come on Manchester United!"

……

As Tang Ye ran out of the player tunnel, he felt he was ready.

Substitutions announced for the second half.

"Tang Ye replaces Lingard!"

"Hey, Manchester United are really going to play seriously in the second half!"

Ten Hag brought Tang Ye on in the second half for two main reasons.

The primary goal is to help Tang Ye regain his match fitness, as Manchester United's next two matches will be against very strong opponents.

The second objective is to improve the goal difference.

Manchester United desperately need Tang Ye's attacking prowess to improve their goal difference.

"Just push it forward!"

Ten Hah shouted a reminder, and in the footage, Tang Ye's yellow hair bounced as he ran.

"I'll come, I'll come!"

Tang Ye and Martial quickly combined to help on the left flank.

Martial successfully broke through Bournemouth's midfield defense!

The bottom is starting to form!

"Go straight there!"

He gestured to Alai not to hesitate, and then Tang Ye chose to run alongside Martial.

As Martial approached the baseline, he was marked by a defender.

Tang Ye ran past him from behind!
boom!
The through ball was passed to Tang Ye, who was making a run down the wing.

Tang Ye!

Snapped!
A cross from the byline goes directly into the penalty area.

Alai jumped but didn't touch the first spot.

Second point: Ziyech!

After stopping the ball and adjusting, Ziyech suddenly began to cut inside.

Snapped!
The shot is given.

But the goalkeeper pushed him out!
"My mine!"

Ziyech raised his hand to apologize.

Of course, this was not a big deal, and the Manchester United players promptly began preparing for a corner kick.

With his hands on the opposing player's waist, Tang Ye bounced around.

They came on with plenty of energy!
Snapped!
The corner kick is taken.

First point of view!
boom!
Bailly headed the ball into the penalty area, but it was quickly cleared by the opponent.

Tang Ye stealthily appeared at the landing point!

"in!"

boom!
A pass hit Haller!

!!!

By the time Haller realized what was happening, the ball that had hit him had already started to fall.

Take a step back.

One step and cum!
"GOOOO-AAAA-LLLL!!"

The ball went in!
In the 56th minute of the second half, Manchester United opened the scoring for the second time against Bournemouth!
Tang Ye and A Lai bumped into each other, and Tang Ye, who lost his balance, took a few steps back.

Fortunately, Alai pulled him back, otherwise he probably would have sat down on the ground.

You have gained 10 comeback points.

[Mission Progress: Assists: 1/10]

I just got the mission and I've already gotten my first assist.
