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

Chapter 452 The German Assassin Arrives at the Allianz Arena, Amidst a Torrential Downpour
boom!
Bang bang bang!
At 3 a.m. on the day of the match, Bayern Munich fans set off fireworks next to the hotel where Manchester United were staying.

Tang Ye was instantly awakened by the stimulation.

Barefoot, I opened the glass door and then went to the balcony.

Beautiful fireworks exploded in the pitch-black sky.

Holding onto the railing, Tang Ye looked down.

The familiar fireworks packaging suggests that these fireworks are imported from China.

It was a bit chilly when the wind blew, so Tang Ye grabbed a coat before coming out and sitting directly on the floor of the balcony.

boom!
Boom!

Although he was woken up, Tang Ye was in a good mood.

German fans were incredibly hospitable; they even welcomed GGBond with Chinese fireworks!
"Ding dong!"

After watching the fireworks for 5 or 6 minutes, Tang Ye's phone, which was charging in the room, rang, so he went to get it.

[Van der Gach: The equipment officer went to get noise-canceling headphones. If you need any, just ask me.]

[Van der Gach: Was anyone woken up?]

Tonight's game is crucial. If any players are woken up at 3 a.m., Mr. Michel will be under a lot of pressure.

Not wanting to worry the coach, Tang Ye was the first to reply.

Tang Ye: No.

Ok.

Ok……

Blinking, Tang Ye suddenly woke up.

Eh, that's not right.

……

Less than 5 hours before the match starts, on a street near Allianz Arena.

Four armed police officers stood in a row in front of a Bayern Munich fan group that was neatly lined up; a rough estimate puts it at least 500 people.

"Mia san Mia! (We are who we are!)"

Boom!

"FC Bayern! Ole! ole!"

Boom!

They were jumping and hopping around while shouting slogans; standing nearby felt like an earthquake.

In the third round, Bayern Munich and Manchester United drew, and Bayern had at least six chances to break through Manchester United's defense.

Therefore, Bayern fans were very dissatisfied with the previous 3-3 scoreline.

"We need to put pressure on Manchester United!"

The leader of the fan organization was shouting into a microphone.

"pressure!"

The fans echoed in agreement.

"We must beat Manchester United and get 3 points!"

"We've got 3 points!"

When the fans organized a mobilization event, someone stood on the side taking pictures.

The video was uploaded to YouTube and quickly reached Rhodes.

"Tom, look at this."

As soon as they came out of the hotel, Rodri handed his phone to Tang Ye, who looked at it as they walked.

"Damn it, Rhodes, look, the phone's shaking!"

"Did they trigger an earthquake?"

Tang Ye wanted to hear Rodri's analysis of the reasons behind this, but soon the fans who were waiting outside the hotel called out his name.

“Tang Ye! Tang Ye! Tang Ye!”

Although Tang Ye defeated Germany in the World Cup, he still has quite a few German supporters.

This has nothing to do with any grudges between national teams.

After all, GGBond's charisma is not something that can be easily resisted.

……

Kicker's front page: German fans set off fireworks near Manchester United's accommodation; the fans involved have been arrested by police.

"Witnesses at the scene said that someone did come out of the room, but strangely, the person did not insult the fans who set off the fireworks. Instead, they sat on the balcony and watched the fireworks. Unfortunately, it was too far away to see clearly. Witnesses speculated that the fans may have woken up other hotel guests, not Manchester United players," Kicker said.

Bayern Munich fans used some unpleasant methods to try and disrupt Manchester United players' performance, and many Manchester United fans were quite nervous after the news was released.

Judging from the video, a lot of large fireworks were indeed set off, and the sound was very loud.

What if a player gets woken up?
It's 3 a.m.!

[But it's okay, my GGBond should sleep fine, these firecrackers won't wake him up.]

Fans speculated about who was walking out onto the balcony, ranging from Rodri to Ziyech, while others said it was Manchester United's equipment manager.

Time was drawing ever closer.

Reprint: Bayern Munich vs. Manchester United starting lineups announced, Rashford vs. Kimmich, Tang Ye vs. Muller and Goretzka.

According to fans at the stadium: It's not raining yet, but there's a lot of thunder.

……

"It's expected to rain heavily later. If it doesn't start before the match, it will start during the first half."

Van der Gach analyzed the weather forecast for the players: "What I'm saying is, if it doesn't rain, we'll play the whole game. Well, if it rains, we can make more passes. Ask Tom about this; he knows a lot about this."

While chewing gum, Tang Ye gave a thumbs up.

Rain is indeed not very pleasant, but as long as it's not an excessive downpour, Tang Ye personally feels that he can still see things clearly.

If the grass is wet, ball control isn't very comfortable, and you can't showcase your superb abilities as a ball-controlling midfielder.

"China Media Group! This is a live broadcast for you..."

"The match has begun. Now, let me introduce the starting lineups for both sides, starting with the home team, Bayern Munich."

"They're currently in first place in the Bundesliga!"

Bayern Munich (4-3-3)

Goalkeeper: Neuer
Defenders: Kimmich, Boateng, Hummels, Alaba
Midfielders: Müller, Javi Martinez, Goretzka

Forwards: Gnabry, Lewandowski, Ribery
Head Coach: Kovac

"..."

"Over there, over there!"

Pointing to the middle, Tang Ye passed the ball directly to Valencia.

Manchester United's full-back cuts inside diagonally.

Tang Ye began to impersonate a right winger and went down the wing with Ziyech.

What about the right wing-back?
It's time for a wide-ranging attack, and Manchester United doesn't have any full-backs at this point.

Valencia's dribbling and advancing was quite fast.

Tang Ye and Ziyech looked for a support position.

Ziyech drew the defense away, and Tang Ye cut inside to receive the pass.

Valencia, give it to Martial first!
Martial dropped back to receive the ball and decisively passed it to Tang Ye, who had cut in.

Feeling great today, Tang Ye made a bold choice.

Speed ​​up the incision!
Pause for a moment when the defender comes over.

Restore speed!
After that……

boom!
He unleashed a long-range shot with his left foot.

"Just attack!"

"Neuer reacted very quickly!"

"My goodness, Tang Ye's long-range shot was incredibly fast! If Neuer had reacted even a fraction slower, Manchester United would have scored!"

Before the 10th minute of the first half, Manchester United directly threatened Bayern's goal!
"Grass!"

Tang Ye shook his hand, clearly not expecting Neuer to react so quickly.

Prepare for a corner kick attack.

At this moment……

Boom! ! !
"..."

Tang Ye and Goretzka hugged each other, looked at each other, and then looked up at the sky together.

Allianz Arena is bright, but the light comes from the lighting equipment hanging on the field.

Actually, the sky is full of black clouds right now, so densely packed that it looks a bit scary.

Boom! ! !
The sky suddenly flashed.

wow！

Tang Ye took a deep breath.

The weather forecast was right this time; barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will rain at the stadium in a few minutes.

Moreover, based on Tang Ye's experience, this rain was probably heavy as soon as it started.

"The weather conditions on site aren't very good. We can even hear the thunder coming from the speakers in our live broadcast studio."

"Yes, the weather forecast predicts thunderstorms and wind in Munich today."

"But apart from the thunder, the weather is still good. If a team can take a 1-0 lead now, they will have the initiative in the game once the rainstorm comes!"

The explanation and analysis are correct.

And that's what both teams are thinking right now.

Take advantage, take advantage...

Two minutes later, another muffled clap of thunder startled Tang Ye, who was preparing to receive the ball.

Fortunately, there are nearly 10 people in the stadium now, so no matter how loud the thunder is, Tang Ye feels very safe.

De Jong is dribbling forward!
Tang Ye bypassed Martinez and ran directly towards the frontcourt.

He wanted to create a more suitable passing opportunity for De Jong! "Go up there!"

The Bayern players shouted.

Just as De Jong was about to send a through ball to Tang Ye, Goretzka suddenly rushed up.

A sliding tackle!

The movements were crazy, and the speed was fast enough.

But De Jong was still prepared and passed the ball out half a second before the interception arrived.

The information isn't very accurate, but it doesn't matter.

"Eh!"

Extend your foot to stop the ball.

Martinez is tracking back to defend!

Tang Ye advanced, stopped abruptly, and then advanced again, temporarily shaking off the annoying Martinez.

boom!
A through ball was played into the penalty area.

Martial!
Staggering, Martial stopped the ball and faced Neuer directly.

"Oh!!"

boom!
A shot was deflected by Neuer's hand.

Boateng quickly cleared the ball out of bounds.

Manchester United launched an attack, but failed to score the goal they wanted!

The players were preparing to deal with the second corner kick when another sound rang out from the sky.

Tang Ye raised an eyebrow and looked up at the sky.

Splash! ...
It rained heavily.

"Holy crap, haha!"

His hair got wet instantly, but Tang Ye was very happy.

Guys, the game's suddenly getting interesting!

Dongqiudi live match report: Martial's shot in the penalty area was saved by Neuer, and a sudden downpour started.

If it rains at the scene, it's not very noticeable in the media broadcast, but today, fans on CCTV5 could clearly see the rain curtain as lines on the screen, which shows just how heavy the rain was at the scene.

"The rain has finally come!"

Neither side scored before the rain started, so fate is fair after all.

"Such heavy rain will greatly affect the attack. Will Manchester United draw with Bayern again?"

"Coach He, you can't say that. If it rains, the defensive players are more likely to make mistakes."

"That's true, but the pitch hasn't started to flood yet, so strictly speaking, the defending side still has a slight advantage."

He Wei is still too meticulous!
Clap clap clap!

The rain was indeed excessive, and Tang Ye had to wipe his eyes every now and then to prevent his vision from being blocked by the rain.

It's actually quite fair; both sides' offense and defense will be greatly affected going forward.

Well, it all depends on who can capitalize on their opponent's mistakes.

Kimmich made a long pass from the backfield to the middle.

Martinez extends his leg to stop the ball.

It's a bit slippery, but we're all professional players, so we can adapt to this kind of environment.

Martinez dribbles the ball himself!

“Ole Ole Ole～～”

The fans were chanting, and after getting into the right position, Martinez passed the ball forward.

Gnabry has the ball now!

Suddenly accelerated downwards!
"Follow them! Follow them!"

Ashley Young was sticking close to the defense, but Gnabry was fast enough.

Snapped!
A cross was delivered.

but!

Gnabry miskicked!
"Ouch, this ball!"

"Haha, Gnabry's original intention was to pass to Alaba at the far post, but his eyesight doesn't seem to be very good..."

A cross sent the ball flying out of bounds, and in the shot, Gnabry clutched his head.

Only the players on the field know how helpless it is to play in such an environment.

If this rain continues, the referee will probably have to stop the game in a few minutes when the field gets flooded.

But after less than 10 minutes, the rain noticeably subsided.

Then there's no need to pause!

Look at me! Look at me!

Drag to the left to find an empty space.

It was still raining, so Tang Ye had to stay focused and make sure he didn't miss anything in his field of vision.

boom!
Smalling passed the ball up.

Give it to Tang Ye!

Tang Ye controlled the ball with his right foot, passed it to his left, and then prepared to send a through ball to Rashford.

Tang Ye's through ball hadn't even been pushed out before he was brought down.

"Beep!"

In the 35th minute of the match, Manchester United had a set-piece opportunity.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will still be handed over to Tang Ye.

But how to handle this ball is definitely worth discussing.

"Go to the back point"

Tang Ye and Bailey whispered, "I'll try to shoot directly, you two go to the back and grab it."

Try to attack directly, but then your teammates have to go to the back post to contest it.

To be honest, Bailey didn't quite understand what Tang Ye meant.

But the general principle is still clear: Tang Ye will hit the ball towards the far post.

The gesture was made, and the referee blew the whistle very quickly.

“Beep beep beep!!!”

The fans were trying to disrupt the game.

Tang Ye was adjusting his breathing.

The ball's friction decreases when it gets wet, so you need to handle it carefully...

Tang Ye begins his running start!
Open your arms and tighten your core, stretching your body out.

Snapped!
"They didn't attack directly, they gave us a back point!"

"It's very deep."

"Smolin!"

Smalling jumped up near the right post and headed the ball.

The ball hit the inside netting of the goal in the next second.

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"Was that Smalling's goal? It looks like Smalling scored!"

After the goal was confirmed, the Manchester United players started shouting and then rushed together to celebrate.

perfect!

This time, Tang Ye did not choose to slide on his knees, but instead found a puddle near the edge of the line.

boom!
His body crashed to the ground, just like a penguin gliding on ice!

Ten Hach and Van der Gach exchanged a smile.

No one else had seen this celebration before, but the two of them had.

Tom's rain battle is especially celebrated.

Penguin Attack!

You have gained 20 comeback points.

"Hmm, a very timely goal. Manchester United established an advantage in the last 10 minutes of the first half."

"That should be Smalling's header..."

The video shows a replay.

Tang Ye took the free kick, which went over the wall and began to descend.

On the right pillar, Smalling arrived on horseback.

Jump up!
"Eh!"

"It seems like I didn't encounter it!"

"I definitely didn't encounter it!"

The camera zooms in, and the commentators and fans discover the secret.

Although Smalling made a head-flipping motion, he actually didn't touch the ball!

So who was ultimately credited with the goal?
Hmm, that's hard to guess!

Dongqiudi live match report: Tang Ye's direct free kick into the 10-point corner gives Manchester United a 1-0 lead away from home.

Boom! !

The rain intensified again!

……

PS: There will be at least two more updates today.
