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

Chapter 456 This is a battle of wits; Tang Ye's right-foot pass and left-foot assist.

Dongqiudi pinned post: The Manchester City vs. Manchester United derby is underway, with the current score at 0-0, and both sides have wasted one chance.

Holy crap, Sterling, what kind of shot was that?!

I thought Rashford's no-look shot was outrageous enough, but Sterling is the god among gods.

Honestly, Tang Ye would be better at using a lobbed shot.

Guagua's blood pressure has gone up.

Sterling's shot went for the corner flag, and Guardiola's blood pressure definitely went up.

But blood pressure is ultimately conserved.

Guardiola's blood pressure went up, and Ten Hag's blood pressure naturally went down.

Wow, Marcus, that was spot on!
"Manchester City seems to be wasting their chances..."

"It's not just a feeling; Manchester City is simply wasting chances right now."

The narrator corrected.

"But we can also see that although they didn't capitalize on their shooting opportunities, Manchester City seemed to gradually gain control of possession."

That's right. From the current game, it's clear that Manchester City is gradually taking control of the game's tempo.

Why do you say that?

Because their possession rate is increasing rapidly!
Manchester United is a team that doesn't like to control possession, and if Manchester City players continue to play like this, their possession rate will probably reach 70% or higher.

But it's okay, the Manchester United players on the field played quite steadily.

Before the match, Ten Hag said that Manchester United would give up possession in this game.

Because if they play possession, they definitely won't be able to take a win away from Manchester City!

Manchester City had a set-piece opportunity, and Tang Ye was positioned at the forefront.

De Bruyne was the one who was going to handle the set piece for Manchester City, so Tang Ye took a special look at De Bruyne's thigh.

Very big muscles!
Just to be on the safe side, Tang Ye covered his groin with his hand.

Safety is very important; this is something even kindergarten teachers teach us!

"Beep!"

Snapped!
De Bruyne delivered a free kick into the penalty area.

De Gea punched the ball away with his hand!
"Pretty!"

"The landing point is De Jong!"

"De Jong has the ball!"

"David Silva pushed De Jong away, and Manchester City still had possession."

Because he was in such a rush when he got the ball, David Silva fell down immediately after receiving it.

De Jong gets the ball again!

Get them out of there!

Both teams seemed a bit rushed, which made the game even more exciting than the fans expected.

Kyle Walker quickly ran up after receiving De Jong's clearance.

Walker...

Her butt is a bit big!
Snapped!
The ball was passed to the wing, and Sterling caught it again.

You can question Sterling's shot, but you can't question the England winger's ball control and positioning!
They maneuvered and weaved their way into the restricted area!

Snapped!
Sterling and Aguero combined well, eventually reaching the penalty area.

Lift your leg!

Sterling's move successfully shifted De Gea's weight, and then Sterling passed the ball across to Mahrez, who was coming up on the right.

!!!

Wow!!!

Mahrez makes a diagonal run into the box!

Snapped!
A shot was taken.

However, Valencia, who were covering the attack, managed to clear the danger!
Well!
Six or seven players on the field simultaneously made a gesture of covering their heads with their hands.

Tang Ye was one of them.

That's terrifying, damn it.

"Amazing, Antonio!"

Manchester City failed to capitalize on their next corner kick opportunity, and before they knew it, 15 minutes had passed.

MCI: 69%.

MUN: 31%.

Just as the fans felt, Manchester City's possession was indeed close to 70%.

Looking at the current situation, it's possible that the Blue Moon team could extend their possession to 75% before the end of the first half.

Manchester United fans are now in a real bind.

Manchester United doesn't seem to like possession much this season, but due to their overwhelming strength, their possession rate in both the league and the Champions League is quite good.

Now, when facing teams of similar strength, the sudden increase in possession is a fact that fans find hard to accept.

The camera focuses on Ten Hag.

Despite the sweat on his forehead, the Manchester United manager remained quite calm.

This should be one of the few consolations for Manchester United players right now.

"Martial, go warm up!"

Not long after the start of the first half, some Manchester United substitutes were already getting up.

"..."

"I'll do it, I'll do it!"

He dropped back to receive the ball, with De Bruyne following behind him.

Tang Ye's realistic feints came in handy; he pretended to walk to the left but actually walked to the right, successfully creating distance between himself and the Manchester City defenders.

Between passing the ball directly and dribbling forward, Tang Ye chose to dribble himself!
Run forward!

Tang Ye's speed was decent, and he had a good rhythm when he ran, which gave the fans in the live broadcast room a sense of reassurance.

But this feeling only lasted a short time.

After a one-two with the retreating Ziyech, Tang Ye dribbled the ball directly into the penalty area.

Stones came up...

Step in with your right foot

By lowering his center of gravity and then rising again, Tang Ye successfully evaded the Manchester City center-back's balance using his most stylish dribbling skills.

And then!
With a flick of his right foot, he sent the ball between Stones' feet.

"Wow!!"

The fans stood up!

This is a nutmeg dribble in the penalty area.

Stones' defense was quite good, but it seemed insignificant in front of the master.

The ball rolled toward the goal, and Tang Ye bypassed Stones to get it.

It was too late for Haller; he could only help block the other defenders first.

Snapped!
Ederson kicked the ball away first!
"what!!"

Tang Ye covered his face with his hands, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

If he had been just 0.3 seconds faster, the ball would have been his!
"huh, huh"

"call……"

Gulu gulu!

Guardiola gulped down several mouthfuls of water.

Watching Tom play is something that will get your heart racing.

Not to mention being Tom's opponent, that's absolutely terrifying!
"Grandma's"

Shaking his head, having missed a golden opportunity to score, Tang Ye could only slowly run back to the backfield.

"Focus your attention!"

"Move from both sides towards the middle, the middle!"

Guardiola's hands move very quickly.

Of course, you can't look at his gestures, because you can't tell anything from them.

You have to listen to what he says!
The 28th minute of the game.

Laporte slowly dribbled the ball forward from the backfield...

Alai ran up!
Laporte passed the ball back to Stones, who then passed it to Walker on the wing.

After Walker, there was no further passing, and the Manchester City full-back accelerated forward.

"Let's go!"

boom!
A through ball to Aguero who has run down the right wing!
Mahrez cuts inside!

The center forward and wingers made overlapping runs, and Manchester United players tightened their defensive line according to the rhythm of the game.

Aguero passed the ball back to De Bruyne in a triangular pass!

De Bruyne!

He raised his thigh as if to shoot, but De Bruyne stepped on the ball at the last second.

Tang Ye was chasing after them!
With no time to think, De Bruyne passed the ball to Sterling, who was there to receive it.

Sterling raised both hands and ran from the middle to the right like a duck.

Snapped!
Suddenly, he cut the ball into the penalty area!
It was given to Aguero!

Done!

Realizing the situation was dire, Tang Ye slowed down.

boom!
Aguero's powerful shot hit the net.

"GOOOO-AAAAAA-LLLLLL!!!"

"The ball is in!"

"Aguero scores!!"

Both sides wasted many opportunities, but Manchester City ultimately scored first.

"Roar!!!"

Aguero rushed out.

Slide on your knees!

"Wow!!"

Bang bang bang!

The fans began to cheer, and the Manchester City players formed a circle in the stands.

Pooh!
Tang Ye spat on the grass, his expression somewhat helpless.

The same applies to other Manchester United players.

Actually, their defense was quite good, but Manchester City's attacking style was indeed somewhat unexpected.

"Let's take a look at the replay..."

"Wow, Manchester City's attacking tactics are quite sophisticated. Sterling's run from the left to the right attracted the attention of several Manchester United players, and his subsequent through ball was also excellent."

Dongqiudi Match Report: Sterling assists Aguero's powerful shot, Manchester City open the scoring and take a 1-0 lead at home!

This is fucking ridiculous, guys.

This is Manchester City!!!

[Teng Hag: I want 3 points; Guardiola: Not a single point!]

Manchester United players walked slowly across the field, while Tang Ye looked up at the sky.

There were 17 clouds in the distance, but I didn't feel stuffy.

The weather is still nice.

But the score wasn't looking good... Scratching his head, Ten Hag called the players over.

The goal just now was less a result of Manchester United's poor defense and more a result of Manchester City's unexpected attack.

"The defenders need to focus, okay? You've all seen it too, their center has a very strong finishing ability."

Ten Hag held his hands up in front of him as if he were holding a large ball: "We can't let Aguero get the ball easily. If necessary, a proper foul is reasonable. Do you understand what I mean?"

The players nodded in agreement, while Tang Ye's mind raced.

Reach out and touch your forehead.

Tang Ye wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt like his forehead was getting warmer...

"Beep!"

Haller kicks off the ball, and the game continues!

Riding high on their momentum, Manchester City launched a full-scale attack, hoping to score their second goal in a short period of time.

However, considering that the opponent is Manchester United, this is definitely not an easy task.

Snapped!
Tang Ye's through ball tore apart Manchester City's midfield defense, and Haller received the ball at the edge of the penalty area.

Unfortunately, Manchester City were wary of Tang Ye's through ball, and Haller was immediately pressed by Laporte as soon as he received the ball, failing to get a suitable one-on-one opportunity.

Manchester United players are catching up!
"Alle... a smart choice, don't rush, control the ball first."

"Yes, Manchester United definitely needs to stabilize their pace now."

Once his teammates were in position, Haller passed the ball back to Ziyech, and then ran into the penalty area to act as a pivot.

Ziyech is on the byline!

Look at Tang Ye's position!

Snapped!
The high ball is played in a triangular pattern towards the center, targeting Tang Ye.

However, after observing the situation on the field, Tang Ye did not choose to receive the ball, but ran forward on his own.

Rodri arrived at Tang Ye's location!

Stop the ball!

Give me another through ball!

A through ball rolled in from behind, and Tang Ye lifted his right foot to let the ball come naturally in front of him.

He didn't touch the ball, so Tang Ye's first touch is still there!
"Take a look!"

Tang Ye pointed in Rashford's direction and then slammed his right foot down.

It looked like he was passing to Rashford, but he was actually passing to his own left foot.

The ball, flicked with the right foot, struck the instep of the left foot, deflecting and bouncing towards the penalty area.

Stones: ?
Give it to Alai!

Ale was also startled by the sudden ball, and fell sideways, but his raised foot touched the ball.

The ball, lifted up, grazed the crossbar and went into the net.

“GOOO—AAAAA—LLLLLL!!!”

"Wow, was that ball offside?"

"like……"

"No offside!"

"Mendy was trailing behind, there was no way he could be offside!"

"The ball went in!!!"

The commentator's face turned red from shouting.

It didn't go smoothly at first, but Manchester United's players are definitely capable, and they managed to equalize the score in a short time.

"United!"

"Man United!"

The fans were shouting, and the commentators started studying the replay.

Tang Ye receives the ball and presses towards the penalty area.

"Pretend to give it to Rashford"

"Hey, haha, Tang Ye's shot was really imaginative!"

Tang Ye's move of using his left foot as a wall to bounce the ball was so daring that even the players on the field couldn't react in time, let alone the CCTV commentators.

On the afternoon of January 11th, London time, Manchester City players once again experienced the terrifying feeling of their intelligence being suppressed.

Dongqiudi Live Match Report: Tang Ye's fancy pass completes the assist, Manchester United equalizes!
You have gained 10 comeback points.

[Mission Progress: Assists: 2/10]

I almost forgot that I still have a treasure chest mission that requires 10 league assists to complete.

The random Serie A club treasure chest was a very ordinary reward, and the task was too difficult, so Tang Ye completely forgot about it.

The situation is the same now; compared to the victory in the derby, the treasure chest reward is completely insignificant!
"Come!"

Tang Ye and A Lai jumped at the same time, and their buttocks collided.

awesome!
clap clap clap!
Ten Hach gave two thumbs up.

The Manchester United players' morale also rose at this point.

"come on! Come on!"

Tang Ye and his teammates clapped each other, preparing to make some more plays before the end of the first half.

"We can advance!"

"Just replace defense with offense."

Tang Ye and his teammates were talking.

He has now almost grasped Ten Hach's line of thinking.

Manchester United's strength lies in their ability to dribble the ball from their own half to near the opponent's byline. At least in terms of their dribbling, passing and advancing ability, Manchester United is among the best clubs in the world!

Since that's the case, let's replace defense with offense!

They completely overwhelmed Manchester City, leaving them no chance to breathe!

The match restarted, and the cameras focused on GGBond.

"Currently, the gap between De Bruyne and Tang Ye is still quite obvious, but you can't deny De Bruyne's ability because of that."

The camera then shifts to De Bruyne.

"De Bruyne orchestrates almost 70% of Manchester City's attacks, which is an astonishing statistic!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than De Bruyne played a through ball from the backfield to the frontfield.

Bernardo Silva!

For top players, controlling the ball in an uncontested situation is incredibly easy; Bernardo Silva made his move and quickly pushed forward.

"Bottom line, bottom line, that's it!"

Urged on by Guardiola, Aguero and Mahrez moved together to the right flank.

With Bernardo Silva also making his way to the byline, the three Manchester City players clustered together put a lot of pressure on their opponents.

Because Manchester City is a team that excels at short passing combinations!
Rhodesley and Ashley Young retreated, while Tang Ye went to find Sterling.

This guy runs like a duck!

As soon as he tries to receive the ball, Tang Ye will immediately move up and block his position!
GGBond taught Sterling a lesson he won't forget!
Snapped!
After receiving the ball, Mahrez did indeed cross it.

But the ball wasn't given to Sterling, but to De Bruyne who had made a forward run!
"I'm watching! I'm watching!"

Signaling to his teammates not to be nervous, Tang Ye gradually adjusted his position.

De Bruyne looked like he wanted to shoot.

Tang Ye glanced back and, with his grasp of the situation on the field, successfully positioned himself directly in De Bruyne's line of sight.

Imagine you were in that position, which direction would you shoot...?

De Bruyne swings his leg!

Snapped!
De Bruyne took the shot, and Tang Ye suddenly raised his foot.

De Bruyne's shot hit Tang Ye's foot.

"Wow!"

The ball was knocked down, but Tang Ye didn't rush to get it immediately. Instead, he jumped a few times in place.

That was a really cool interception.

But it hurts a little.

"Fuck!"

De Bruyne spat on the ground.

Time quickly passed, and 40 minutes had gone by.

After Haller scored, Manchester United's players quickly regained their form and have now slowly turned the tide of the game.

Tang Ye's free kick went straight for Smalling in the penalty area!
But Ederson caught the ball with his hands!
Both sides have a strong desire to attack.

Yes, both sides want to establish an advantage before entering the second half.

The commentators were still exchanging heated words when Bailly stepped directly on Mahrez's instep.

The first yellow card of the match has been issued.

A foul from Manchester United!
"Fuck you!"

Aguero approached Bailly, amidst angry Manchester City fans in the stands.

The atmosphere was tense, and players from both sides were on their way.

Sterling tried to push Bailey, but Tang Ye had already pulled Bailey away.

"Forget it, it's unnecessary."

Both teams remained rational, so the conflict did not escalate further.

Bernardo Silva sends a cross into the penalty area!
Aguero sets up Sterling!
They're about to break down the door!

The fans stood up, and Sterling swung his leg to shoot.

"Oh!"

De Gea jumped out and made a direct save.

Sterling can't be blamed for this goal; De Gea's reaction was definitely too exaggerated.

"Beep, beep beep!!!"

"Alright, the first half is over. The score is currently 1-1."

"Judging from the first half, the difference in strength between the two teams was minimal, or even non-existent."

"Now it's time to test the coaching staff."

Manchester City will be able to regain the lead in the second half.

Will Manchester United pull off the comeback?

It's not clear yet.

But one thing is for sure: the team that can maintain their form in the second half will win the game!
Dongqiudi Halftime Report: Alejandro scores, Manchester derby ends 1-1 at halftime; Tang Ye's two shots on target are both saved by Ederson.

"Tom"

In the players' tunnel, De Bruyne and Tang Ye greeted each other, and the two unknowingly walked together.

"Haha, Kevin"

Tang Ye put his hand on De Bruyne's shoulder.

Although they had known each other for a long time, De Bruyne was still a little reserved when speaking to Tang Ye because they hadn't spent much time together.

However, De Bruyne's eyes are very bright.

His eyes reflected his reverence for King GGBond!
"Keep it up, Kevin, in the second half!"

Tang Ye and De Bruyne said.

Tang Ye saw it clearly: his friend Kevin hadn't been able to perform at his full potential in the first half.

This is a very pity.

"come on"
