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

Chapter 451: 9-game winning streak, in excellent form, arrives in Munich (Thanks to WarmSun1314 and Silver Alliance 25)

Dongqiudi pinned post: The Bournemouth vs. Manchester United match is in progress. The current score is 0-2, with Manchester United leading. Tang Ye scored as a substitute.

[Inspection complete, brothers. Don't blame Zhou Ye.]

GGBond's girlfriend is a good woman!

[He's getting better and better at running; Tang the Ball King is amazing!]

I'm blowing, I'm blowing like crazy!

[Aside from Lee Sang-hyeok, there shouldn't be anyone who can stop Tang Ye right now.]

Tang Ye and A Lai jumped up together, and the two bumped their butts together.

"This……"

Rodri smiled and shook his head, wondering how these two guys could have come up with the same idea.

"I'm getting into the swing of things."

Tang Ye rubbed his backside and walked towards the halfway point with Rodri.

"Let's get this going, brothers!"

MUN: 56%.

MUN: 57%.

……

MUN: 59%.

Within 10 minutes, the ball possession rate increased by 3 points, and then it remained stuck between 59% and 58%.

Tang Ye used his excellent midfield adjustment ability to help the team gain some possession.

Possession was only a tiny fraction.

But their offensive efficiency is much higher than just a little bit.

There are so many points!

He turned to receive Herrera's pass, his mind filled with the exact positions of all the players behind him.

Come!
With his foot planted firmly, Tang Ye delivered a long pass.

Snapped!
A long pass to Rashford, who came on as a substitute.

The pass caught everyone off guard, and the home team players are now in a panic.

Rashford slowed down.

Stop the ball with a stretched-out leg!

Rashford didn't handle the ball well on his first touch, but he controlled it on his second.

Cut inside directly!

Ashley Young ran past Rashford, who cut inside and suddenly passed the ball to the byline.

Snapped!
Ashley Young made a long pass to Ziyech on the right wing!

Ziyech passed back to Valencia.

Valencia then passed the ball across to Tang Ye in the middle.

Manchester United players passed the ball back and forth between the left and right flanks, putting a lot of pressure on Bournemouth players.

Especially Tang Ye in the middle lane.

Because once he gets the ball, you can't predict what he'll do next.

Hey!

After executing a one-two pass, Tang Ye received the ball and charged directly into the penalty area.

There are defensive players, but it doesn't matter.

Let's change the rhythm a bit.

Change again!

With his center of gravity fluctuating, Tang Ye successfully stepped onto the penalty area line using rhythm and feints.

Swing your leg!

Looking at the top left corner of the goal, Tang Ye pretended to shoot, but actually cut the ball to Ziyech who had cut in from the right.

boom!
Ziyech shoots.

duang!

It hit the left pillar and bounced back!
boom!
Rashford kicks again!
The ball bounced out again and came to the feet of a Bournemouth player.

But Rhodes quickly came up to steal the ball and set up Ashley Young for a shot.

The third shot finally went in.

"Beautiful, Ashley Young!"

"The score is now 3-0!"

"As you can see, it's now the 74th minute of the second half, and Manchester United are leading by 3 goals."

"Hmm, if that's the case, then I think Bournemouth has little chance in this match..."

With a commanding 3-0 lead and absolute dominance on the field, Manchester United players have essentially taken control of the game.

Is the defense on the flanks ineffective?

It doesn't matter, because the home team's players have already lost all confidence after playing to this point.

Even if they manage to launch a counter-attack, Bournemouth can't capitalize on their opportunities.

"Beep, beep beep!!!"

The referee blew the final whistle, and the final score was 3-0.

"I'm convinced"

He pulled up his jersey to wipe the sweat from his forehead to prevent it from getting into his eyes.

"It's not that I feel the referee was just making random calls, but if he had given us a penalty, we would have been leading by four goals."

Rodri walked over and, after confirming that the referee hadn't heard Tang Ye speak, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Calm down, calm down, Tom."

For some reason, Rodri felt that Tang Ye's temper had grown considerably since they first met.

Could it be that they were gradually forced into this situation by the referees in La Liga and the Premier League?
Rodri pushed Tang Ye toward the passage.

He couldn't get the answer to this question for the time being.

……

Premier League official: The league's Player of the Month for February is Manchester United midfielder Tang Ye.

As the player who was selected as the Player of the Month the most times last season, Tang Ye finally won the first Player of the Month trophy of the new season.

"Come, look here!"

Back in the locker room, Tang Ye raised his trophy.

Wow!!!

"Tom's got going!"

"Ha ha"

Back in his seat, Tang Ye placed the trophy in the cabinet: "Although I didn't win the MVP award for this game, I did win the MVP award for last month."

"Come on, let's switch."

Rhodes walked over carrying his single-game MVP trophy, which was blue.

"Hey, get out of here, Rhodes!"

Tang Ye used his body to block Rodri: "I'm clearly at a disadvantage here, okay? This is only for one month, and last month I played at least four games."

Tang Ye was obviously joking.

To be honest, if Rodri really asked him for the Player of the Month trophy, he would give it to him.

Oh, Tom is angry.

Rodri huddled his arms and chest together, pretending to be terrified.

"Please don't hit me."

"It's a small matter, I forgive you, Rhodes."

Tom, the eldest brother, remained kind and did not punish his younger brother Rod even when Rod made a mistake.

If you knew that in cartoons, if the villain's subordinates do something wrong, they might be killed by the villain king!

Of course, Tom is a benevolent villain king, so he wouldn't do such a thing.

"Okay, okay, everyone sit down first, everyone sit down first, I have something to say."

After finishing the interview, Ten Hah returned to the locker room.

Tang Ye walked back and forth in front of Ten Hag with his Player of the Month trophy before finally returning to his own position.

Ten Hach's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything.

"Alright, first of all, everyone handled today's match quite well. The problems are still the same as before."

"Some of you may not have realized, but we're currently on a nine-game winning streak in the league."

Ten Hah took a pen and wrote the Arabic numeral "9" on the tactics board.

"It's impressive, that's true, but I must tell you, none of the teams we beat on our nine-game winning streak were top-tier teams."

Manchester United's coaching staff are concerned that a continued winning streak could lead the players to misjudge the team's overall strength.

Manchester United beat teams like Bournemouth, Burnley, and Watford by either 4-1 or 3-0; they're incredibly strong.

"I know we scored a lot of goals, but I want to say that the number of goals doesn't reflect our true ability."

Ten Hag points to the tactics board, which has a simplified version of the November match schedule written by Van der Gach.

"We'll be playing Bayern Munich very soon, and then Manchester City. I won't emphasize how crucial those two matches are, because I know you all understand."

"When we face strong opponents, our weaknesses in wing defense become apparent. This is something I've been worried about, and I've mentioned it to you all. But for some reason, this problem hasn't been significantly improved."

Ten Hag looked at Ashley Young, then at Valencia: "I hope to get your feedback and see overall improvement."

Ten Hag shrugged: "I don't want to scold you either. Why am I saying this after a win? Because I want you to realize the team's current problems, instead of remaining silent after losing to Bayern or Manchester City."

Although he was talking about defending the flanks, Ten Hag actually criticized all the Manchester United players in the dressing room.

Sitting in his seat, Tang Ye, who had just finished daydreaming, looked left and right.

Finally, he brought his mouth close to Rodri's ear and asked, "Did he insult me?"

"should"

“oh”

Tang Ye took a deep breath. That's bad.

"I just want us to get more league and Champions League points. I'm always on your side. So..."

"Is it possible for me to see improvement in the problem going forward?"

"can!"

Ashley Young shouted something, and then Valencia shouted something in return.

Tang Ye only heard the last part, but he was the third to shout.

Whatever the problem, it's fine as long as it's improved.

The atmosphere suddenly became lively, and the Manchester United players gathered in the middle of the locker room.

Captain Valencia held up an index finger and waved it in front of the players.

I don't think we need to say too much.

"We need to win every single match in November, whether it's Bayern Munich, Manchester City, or any other team after them."

Tang Ye interjected, "That's the way it is."

"..."

"come on!"

"come on!"

Taking advantage of the players' high morale after the match, Ten Hag revised their goals for the month based on the actual situation.

The original plan was to reach the top of the Premier League standings before the end of December.

This plan has now been brought forward.

Manchester United must take first place before the end of November!

……

"We've seen it all."

"We've won it all!"

"We're Man United and we are never going to stop!"

“Ole Ole Ole Ola…”

As soon as the bus drove out of the stadium, Manchester United fans ran after it.

Because his fans wouldn't have anything thrown at them, Tang Ye boldly opened the window.

Right below his window, a young British man wearing sneakers was standing close to the bus.

"Damn, bro, you're fast!"

Looking down, Tang Ye's mouth dropped open.

"Tom!"

When they noticed Tang Ye looking over, the fans ran even faster.

"Holy crap, holy crap!"

Tang Ye didn't know what to do, so all he could do was cheer on the fans: "Go, brother, go!"

The fan stretched out his hand, and Tang Ye understood. He leaned his upper body out of the window and stretched his hand down.

"So close, so close!"

"A little more!"

The bus is about to enter the highway, and the fans have less than half a minute left to play.

He stretched out his hand, but it was still about half a meter short.

hiss!
"Rhodes, hold on to me, don't let me fall!"

Tang Ye had Rodri hug his thighs, then put one foot on the stool and stretched his upper body out further.

Tom has done his best.

Now it's up to you!
"what!"

The fans roared and jumped up at full speed.

Snapped!
The two people high-fived in mid-air.

"Haha, nice!"

Tang Ye clenched his fists tightly.

……

Dongqiudi Match Preview: At 4:00 AM on November 8th, Manchester United will face Bayern Munich away in the fourth round of the Champions League Group H. Who will take the top spot in the group?

4 AM Beijing time...

Tang Ye started counting on his fingers, preparing to do the math.

Forget it.

Calculating time differences is too much trouble. Anyway, I'm not going to Germany alone, so I can just stay with my teammates.

Tang Ye briefly looked at the fans' analysis of Bayern's tactics on Dongqiudi.

It must be said that some fans are indeed very capable, knowing that to deal with Bayern, you need to press their attacking midfielders and wingers.

Back in the day, Tom was a big shot in football knowledge on Baidu Tieba.

He also likes to share his thoughts on the match with netizens before the match starts!
With the Champions League match looming ahead, Tang Ye checked the progress of the series of tasks.

[Phase Two Task Progress: Goals + Assists (6/8)]

There are still 2 missing task data.

Then their opponent is Bayern Munich.

It was indeed very difficult, but Ten Hag's speech after the competition today played a role.

If Manchester United players can unite to improve their problems, then they will not see any strong opponents.

Okay, that's it.

Go!

……

"The left side is actually okay, it's mainly the right side."

Ten Hag pointed to the Manchester United vs. Bayern Munich formation displayed on the computer screen and said.

Manchester United's starting lineup was already decided, while Bayern Munich's starting lineup was predicted by the coaching staff.

"Hmm... when Coman comes on, our attack on the right flank will be even more intense."

Van der Gach nodded in agreement with Ten Hach's point of view.

"However, Koeman should be a substitute; the main focus should be on dealing with Ribery. Tom can be used to press him."

Van der Gach offered suggestions, while Ten Hach pondered them.

“If we press... we need to establish at least a two-goal lead before the 70th minute. Michel, Tom will have to be substituted later if we play like this.”

"but"

Ten Hach narrowed his eyes to slits, his brain racing through countless thoughts in that short period of time.

"I think we should give it a try."

……

boom!
The plane crashed on the runway, but the Manchester United players successfully arrived in Germany.

Looking out the window, it's a bright and sunny day.

But I heard there will be thunderstorms in Munich on the day of the match?

"Marcus, should I wear short sleeves or long sleeves during the game?"

The players were packing their luggage as they prepared to disembark.

"Tom, wear this hat during the game."

Rashford put his hat on Tang Ye's head.

The two people's heads are about the same size, so the hats fit them quite well.

Tang Ye straightened his hat brim: "This won't do, it won't keep out the rain, and it's blocking my eyes."

Tang Ye pulled the brim of his hat back.

The view was finally clear.

Indeed, the visor of a baseball cap should be placed at the back; that's the correct way to use a baseball cap.

Tang Ye could already hear the cheers of the fans who came to greet him as soon as he got off the plane.

He even heard his own Chinese name, the kind that sounds like a Chinese person would call him.

"I thought I was going to get yelled at."

Tang Ye said softly.

"why?"

Walking ahead of Tang Ye, Lin Jiade turned around.

"Because we beat Germany in the World Cup, and a lot of Germans were criticizing me online. I didn't speak German before, but I learned some after that."

"Don't worry, they'll start yelling at you once the match begins."

Van der Gach raised an eyebrow at Tang Ye: "But it doesn't matter, because they can't beat us."

Tang Ye felt that Mr. Michel was right.

Bayern were able to draw at home before mainly because they used a surprise tactic.

Having learned from the lessons of the previous match, it won't be so easy for Bayern to draw with Manchester United again.

As if by telepathy, Tang Ye suddenly looked in one direction.

On the second floor, several fans who were clearly Chinese stood together, taking pictures of Tang Ye with their phones and cameras.

Although they were wearing Bayern Munich jerseys, Tang Ye still raised his right hand.

Of course, the distance was indeed quite far. If their phones had a strong enough zoom function, they should have been able to see Tang Ye's gesture.

A very good Chinese fan.

Unfortunately, he is a Bayern Munich supporter.

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

Tom will be a cold and ruthless person in tomorrow's game.
