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

Chapter 470 A goal-fest between Manchester United and Liverpool; will the red team emerge victorious in this derby?

Top post on Dongqiudi: Liverpool vs. Manchester United match, halftime, current score 2-3, Liverpool trailing.

"Do you think this is normal? Being overtaken by our opponents?"

Klopp, still wearing his hat, said, "So tell me, what did we play in the first half? Was that proper football? It wasn't what we planned."

The Liverpool dressing room was eerily quiet.

Some of the players are in a rather awkward position right now because they didn't perform well in this game.

Liverpool have rarely faced such tough matches this season, and the sudden increase in intensity today has left some players somewhat unaccustomed to it.

"Mohammed (Salah), what I need is to play at your maximum potential, not to hold back. If you're going to play conservatively, then what's the point of the competition? Just hand over the three points to the opponent!"

"And Arnold, your performances today were all subpar... so if that's all, we're bound to lose."

Do you want us to lose?

Suddenly, Klopp and the players shrugged as he shouted this out.

"Our opponent is Manchester United, Manchester United, they're one point ahead of us now, so we have to win. Tom's free kick made you panic, but what I want to say is that we need perfect form; a temporary deficit is acceptable."

"Because Liverpool is stronger, we will take back the advantage we've lost, that's what you're here for on the pitch!"

"..."

Whether they were leading or trailing, the coaches were all yelling at each other.

Ten Hag believes that Manchester United players have not yet shown their best.

Klopp also felt that his players did not play their best.

"come on! Come on!"

Tang Ye and Ale were the first to walk out of the locker room, where they ran into the Liverpool players next door.

"..."

Tang Ye and Ale exchanged a glance, but neither of them spoke to the Liverpool players.

The first half went well, but by halftime, both sides were just hostile towards each other.

"Welcome back, everyone! This is a live broadcast for you..."

"The match has already begun!"

Neither side has made any substitutions or changes at the moment.

The familiar players are still standing in their familiar positions.

"Hmm... I just wonder if the second half will have as many goals as the first half."

"..."

"De Jong, beautiful!"

Manchester United's defensive midfielder suddenly pressed forward and gained possession of the ball.

Snapped!
The ball was immediately passed to Ziyech, who was coming back to receive it.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Tang Ye gestured for Alai to fill in for Ziyech, and then went over himself.

Rashford is moving towards the center!
"Come!"

Tang Ye first received a low pass from Ziyech, and then encountered pressure.

Send it to Alai right away!

Haller passes across to Rashford again!

"Oh!!!"

A very smooth attack, with Liverpool players quickly retreating.

Rashford received the ball and charged straight into the penalty area!

Van Dijk came up...

Rashford!

Adjust your rhythm, feint, and look for a possible shooting angle.

Unfortunately, Van Dijk didn't give Rashford any shooting angle.

The Manchester United striker attempted a shot, but Van Dijk kicked the ball away.

fuck!

Rashford jumped up on the spot, while Van Dijk ran forward to get the ball.

Prepare for a counterattack!
Tang Ye charged directly at Van Dijk.

"Wow!!"

Snapped!
A long pass from Van Dijk found Salah in the attacking third.

Salah lifted his foot and passed the ball directly to Arnold, then started walking towards the byline.

Arnold dribbles the ball forward himself!
He is also moving towards the bottom line!

Adjust slowly...

Snapped!
Arnold's 45-degree cross!
Although he was a defender, Arnold's crosses were incredibly accurate, finding Firmino directly in the penalty area.

With a defender interfering, Firmino opted to head the ball back.

Mane!

Mane leaned over and suddenly played a through ball.

Salah made a run into a spot that many fans didn't notice.

!!!

Smalling tried to close the distance, but in his haste, Salah nutmegged him.

Smalling fell to the ground!

boom!
With a relaxed and effortless shot, Salah successfully opened the scoring for Manchester United.

"GOOOO-AAAAA-LLLLLL!!!"

“Salahhh!!!”

After scoring, Salah immediately turned around and rushed off the field, sitting on the grass and starting to meditate.

“Salah!”

“Salah!”

Liverpool fans in the stands chanted the name of goal scorer Salah, and Liverpool players ran over to hug him tightly.

"Haha, my goodness!"

"Liverpool equalized in the 56th minute of the second half!"

"Well, to be honest, I did think Liverpool could equalize, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."

The replay showed that Mane's exquisite through ball was the key to Liverpool's attack.

A single pass completely pierced through Manchester United's defense!
clap clap clap!
"very good!"

Klopp shouted, but the pressure on his face didn't ease much.

2-3 was not the score Liverpool had in mind, nor was 3-3.

Liverpool want to win.

Swish!
Tang Ye scratched the grass with his shoe nails, clearly in a bad mood.

Of course, Tang Ye should be the most emotionally stable one on the field; the other Manchester United players are about to explode.

"United!"

"xuuu!!!"

"Trash Manchester United!"

"Rubbish!"

As fierce rivals, Liverpool fans are unlikely to let this opportunity to kick them while they're down will pass.

Valencia and Ashley Young tried to comfort their teammates on the field!
The game continues!

Dongqiudi Live Match Report: Mane's exquisite through ball assists Salah's goal, bringing the score to 3-3!

[The Egyptian Pharaoh!]

[Awesome!!!]

Wait, is Smalling really that easy to shake?

[It's all over, guys, my GGBond...]

A draw only gets you 1 point! Manchester City are having a blast. Come on, Manchester United!

It is now the 60th minute of the second half, and the score is tied at 3-3.

Liverpool wanted to keep scoring, and so did Manchester United.

Finally, in the 62nd minute, both Liverpool and Manchester United made substitutions.

"Should we replace him with Martial?"

"Teng Hag is very bold... We said that although it was a 3-3 draw, Liverpool still had a slight advantage on the field."

"Yes, if they change their center forward, Manchester United will probably need to adjust their attacking tactics..."

Salah dribbles the ball to the byline again!
He successfully changed direction with a sudden stop, outmaneuvering Ashley Young.

Cut inside!

Snapped!
The shot was delivered, but De Gea blocked it with his body.

Clap clap clap!

There was thunderous applause.

"Walk on, walk on~"

With hope in your heart~

And you'll never walk alone.

You'll never walk alone.

Dongqiudi live match report: In the 67th minute of the match, Arnold delivered a corner kick, Firmino shot and assisted Salah to score, but the goal was disallowed for offside.

"call……"

After the goal was confirmed to be disallowed, Tang Ye clutched his head.

That's way too dangerous!

"What the hell...!"

Tang Ye and Rodley ran forward slowly together.

Rodri's eyes suddenly narrowed because he noticed that Tang Ye wasn't chewing gum anymore.

Brother, what's wrong?
"..."

"Here here!"

He reached out to his teammate for the ball.

He received a cutback pass from Rashford in the middle!
A great opportunity! Tang Ye decisively pulled the ball back and turned, facing Lovren and Van Dijk directly.

Whoosh!

boom!
He immediately unleashed a long-range shot!
However, Van Dijk used his head to get out of the predicament!
"Hmm! Tang Ye seems to be kicking a bit too hastily."

"There's nothing we can do about it, because we know Manchester United's plan is to overtake Manchester City before the Asian Cup begins."

"Given the current situation, if Manchester United draw just one game in December, they will essentially lose their chance to win the title."

After 70 minutes, the players' performance began to decline, and they became tense.

The scene started to get chaotic!

"Calm down, calm down! Take it easy!"

Ten Hag reminded his teammates on the field: "Tell Tom to stabilize possession first!"

If they continue like this, Manchester United's possession rate will drop below 25%, which is beyond the range that Manchester United's tactics can withstand.

The camera suddenly panned to reveal that the fans of the two teams in the stands were fighting again.

The security guards in the buffer zone tried to mediate, but it was no easy task.

Snapped!
One pass and the fans immediately fell silent.

"Woww!!"

Tang Ye's through ball bypassed the defenders and found Rashford perfectly!

A perfect attacking opportunity; Rashford moves quickly with the ball.

As long as they can get past Arnold, they'll have a chance to shoot!
Rashford chipped the ball over his opponent.

But the ball hit Arnold in the groin!

"Depend on!"

Ten Hag clutched his head. Rashford's playmaking in the attacking third went awry again, and Manchester United squandered a golden attacking opportunity.

Rashford still had possession of the ball.

But the defenders had already retreated, and it didn't look like they could continue advancing.

Ashley Young looped in from behind Rashford.

At the edge of the frame, Tang Ye also moved to his designated position in the middle lane.

"Give Ashley Young a shout-out!"

Ashley Young!

"Look at the quality of Ashley Young's cross..."

Snapped!
A high cross after reaching the byline.

It's given as an inverted triangle!
"I come!"

Tang Ye gestured for Rodri to move aside, then stepped forward and stretched out his leg to stop the ball.

Fabinho rushed up to try and interfere, but Tang Ye suddenly raised the ball high and lobbed it over Fabinho's head.

"Oh!"

He controlled the ball by turning to the side and accelerated directly to the edge of the penalty area.

One-on-one against Lovren!
Lovren took a step back, while Tang Ye pressed forward, lowering his center of gravity at the same time.

Suddenly the center of gravity rises again!
Swish!

Spread the fried meatballs horizontally.

Snapped!
The shot was fired.

The ball went in!
"Holy shit!"

"What's this!"

"GOOO-AAAA-LLLLL!"

The English live stream has already started shouting slogans.

Tang Ye scores in the 77th minute of the second half!

The score is now 4-3!

"Wow!!!"

The away fans were jumping and bouncing around, and Tang Ye rushed out quickly.

3, 2, 1!

Slide on your knees!

boom!
Three stripes were torn out, and then he stood up from the grass.

Tang Ye first roared, then slapped his ear in response to the Liverpool fans' taunts at this point in the game.

Brothers, I'm kneeling down first!

[So what's the use of Salah and Mane being so strong? My brother Zheng Xiong can solve everything with a single shake of his body. A 20-year-long foreshadowing!]

Tell me who won the Golden Globe!

"Tom, Tom, Tom..."

Manchester United players surrounded Tang Ye, and even players from the substitutes' bench rushed out.

"Ha ha!"

Van der Gach raised his hands, and his expression suddenly relaxed.

A little scary.

But they are indeed in the lead!
"Tom!"

“Viva TomTom!”

“Viva TomTom!”

"..."

Liverpool fans are silent now, and the players are pretty much the same.

Because no one could have predicted that the game would unfold this way.

"Stay calm, stay calm!"

Although possession was still low, Manchester United had gained the upper hand in terms of momentum after taking the lead again.

Lallana passes the ball to Mane!
It's going to be a complete frenzy!

Mane wanted to show off his individual heroism, but Valencia defended him very well, keeping him out of bounds.

boom!
Valencia and Bailly collided.

"Pretty!"

[Keep it up! Keep it up!]

Hang in there!

Hang in there!

With increasing defensive pressure, Ten Hag was forced to substitute Tang Ye directly.

"Stay calm! Stay calm, that's all that matters!"

Salah suddenly exploded in form 85 minutes into the game.

"Oh my God!"

"Rodri has also been faked out!"

Salah dribbled past two players in the attacking third before cutting inside towards the center.

boom!
A through ball into the penalty area!

Firmino!

boom!
De Gea rushed out and sat directly in front of Firmino.

There was no angle at all, and Firmino's shot ultimately only hit De Gea.

"Nice!!!"

Tang Ye, who was on the bench, immediately stood up.

David's exclusion from this year's Golden Globe nominations is the organizer's mistake!
"Manchester United launch a counter-attack, De Gea finds Herrera..."

"Beep, beep beep!!!"

"it's over!"

"The match is over!"

Manchester United held on to their final victory!

4:3, that's the final score of today's match.

The stadium was filled with the shouts of Liverpool fans. Tang Ye stood up again and returned to the pitch.

"Ha ha!"

First, let me give a hug to Mr. Eric.

Then give your little brother Rod a big hug!

"United!"

"Man United!"

The away fans were chanting loudly, and Tang Ye saw a red Manchester United scarf fluttering in the stands!

The Manchester United players gathered together, with Tang Ye having one hand on Rodri's shoulder and the other on Rashford.

"Glory Glory Man United~"

"Glory Glory Man United~~"

As they slowly approached the away team's stands to give their thanks, the fans were arguably even more excited than the players on the field.

This victory was extremely hard-won.

Because of this victory, the gap between Manchester United and Liverpool has widened to 4 points!
"Liverpool, you have Salah, you have Mane!"

"But you're only third, forever third~~~"

"You're only third~"

"..."

With two goals and one assist, Tang Ye unsurprisingly won the MVP award after the match.

After receiving the trophy, they went to the mixed zone for interviews.

Actually, Tang Ye is quite pitiful, because he can still faintly hear the Liverpool fans cursing him coming from inside the stadium.

Woohoo!

"Tom, congratulations on your victory in this match."

Reporters quickly surrounded Tang Ye, hoping he could briefly describe their emotional journey during the match.

"Oh, well... we'll play quite aggressively at the beginning because that's the tactic our coach devised; we want to establish dominance from the start."

"The fact is we did succeed, but haha, they responded very quickly."

Thinking back to how nervous he and his teammates were when they were suddenly down 1-2, Tang Ye couldn't help but laugh even though he already knew the outcome: "But it's okay, we handled things well enough, so we were the victors in the end."

It was actually quite a close call; if any Manchester United player had been out of form, the score might not have been 4-3.

Of course, luck is also a part of the game, a statement Tang Ye has always strongly agreed with.

"You've temporarily widened the gap between yourself and Liverpool, and you're maintaining your winning streak to catch up with Manchester City. However, Manchester City hasn't lost or drawn a game yet..."

"Then I think we'll keep winning."

Tang Ye smiled happily.

Click, click, click!

"But you're going back to China soon, aren't you?"

The reporter pointed out the problem.

When asked about the Asian Cup, the reporters suddenly became lively, bombarding Tang Ye with a barrage of questions that left him overwhelmed.

"I haven't decided when I'll leave yet, but I think I need to stay here a little longer. I've already contacted the national team, and they support me in doing so, and I also feel that I should do it."

Tang Ye looked down at the MVP trophy in his hand.

"Because we lost to Manchester City last season, we want to win back this season."

Dongqiudi Match Report: Manchester United defeated Liverpool 4-3 away in the Merseyside derby, with Tang Ye contributing a goal and an assist, plus a direct free-kick goal. (39812 comments)

Sky Sports commentator: The Liverpool-Manchester United derby is the most exciting match of the Premier League season so far, even surpassing the Manchester derby.

The Guardian's front-page headline: Liverpool's arch-rivals suffer a setback; could the Premier League title race see major changes in December?
Attached is the Premier League standings (as of Round 17):

1. Manchester City, 45 points.

2. Manchester United, 45 points.

3. Liverpool, 41 points.

4. Tottenham Hotspur, 33 points.

5. Chelsea, 33 points.

In the December battle of the Three Kingdoms, Liverpool suffered their first defeat.

The price they paid was quite heavy, as they were directly outpaced by the Manchester duo.

Neither Manchester City nor Manchester United have lost a game in the league yet.

While it may seem that the gap between Manchester City and Manchester United is narrowing, in reality, their difference has actually widened.

In the 17th round of matches, Manchester United had a lower goal difference, while Manchester City had a higher goal difference.

So now they have the same points, but Manchester City has a better goal difference than Manchester United by 4.

Popular discussion on football forums: Still 4 goals behind in goal difference, can Manchester United beat Manchester City on goal difference?

[Werder Bremen's Golden Boy: Very good question. My main feeling is that Manchester United's attacking line is weak, so they should buy Dembele.]

[www074: The problem is, Haller isn't a top-class center forward either, why don't you just buy Ronaldo?]

[I love chicken skeletons the most: Come on, come on! Just wait until Manchester City plays Liverpool or Chelsea, they can't keep winning.]

[Tang Ye (Verified): I think it's a good idea]

[Beautiful face in a beat-up car: Wait, who are you upstairs?]

[Fan 1732qs: The King of Football is here!!!]
