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

Chapter 471 Champions League knockout stage draw, Maguire's header wins Manchester United!

boom!
Boom!

Manchester United's team bus was greeted with friendly greetings from Liverpool fans as it departed Anfield.

It's worth mentioning that today marks Liverpool's first loss in the Premier League this season.

The opponent they lost to was their arch-rival Manchester United!
"Tom, I think it would be better if you didn't open the curtains."

Rodri suggested.

Tang Ye paused for a moment, then nodded and withdrew his hand from the curtain.

"I've been thinking about a rather serious question."

"what is the problem?"

"If I open the window, can I throw the water bottles they throw back at me?"

"..."

Rodri's lips twitched: "I suggest you don't do that."

"I know, I know."

Tang Ye nodded quickly: "I know I can't do that, but Rod, don't you think they threw them pretty carelessly? Almost none of the bottles hit the windows. If it were me, I could probably hit nine out of ten accurately."

Rhodes placed his hand on his forehead.

This is the third year since he met Tang Ye, and the fourth year will be coming soon.

If he had known Tom for 10 years, could he possibly figure out what Tom was thinking?
Ok……

Rodri took a light breath.

It's probably going to be a bit difficult.

"You're the only one, baby~"

A Korean song suddenly started playing in the bus; it was obvious that Lingard had connected via Bluetooth.

"Wow!!"

Valencia shouted, and the Manchester United players sang along loudly.

"Find another one, find another one. Where are we going to find so many people who speak Korean?"

"Ha ha!"

Ashley Young called out, and Lingard quickly switched to an English song.

Tang Ye pricked up his ears to listen.

The prelude is...

ok!

He can sing this song!

"Yeah, you can be the greatest!"

You can be the best!

“yon can be the King Kong banging on your chest…”

"Wow!"

New coach Dennis joined the players in singing.

At the front, Ten Hach and Van der Gach exchanged a glance.

"You guys sing too!"

Dennis tugged at Ten Hag's shirt, but the latter refused, saying, "No, no, no, that's not my style."

Looking for van der Gahr.

Unfortunately, the Manchester United assistant coach isn't the type to sing either.

"Oh, you two!"

Dennis shook his head.

"I'll include your two parts in the song."

……

Dongqiudi pinned post: 45 minutes until the draw for the 2018-19 UEFA Champions League Round of 16.

Tier 1 teams: Dortmund, Barcelona, ​​Paris Saint-Germain, Porto, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Lyon.

Second tier teams: Atletico Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool, Schalke 04, Ajax, Roma, Juventus, Bayern Munich.

With 16 teams, teams from the first tier will be matched with teams from the second tier, and the rule of avoiding teams from the same season will apply, meaning Manchester United could potentially face a total of 5 teams.

They are Atletico Madrid, Schalke 04, Ajax, Roma, and Juventus.

"Ajax again"

While still on the train returning home, Tang Ye was already watching the draw ceremony with his teammates.

The first slip of paper the guest drew had Ajax written on it.

However, this time it wasn't Manchester United playing against Ajax, but Real Madrid.

After that……

【Dortmund (GER)】

"Are we going to kick Mr. Ferran again?"

Tang Ye took a deep breath.

Dortmund is in the top tier.

Rashford reminded him.

"Oh, right, then it's nothing."

Tang Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Teams in the first pot will not be drawn against other teams in the first pot, so according to the draw rules, Manchester United cannot be drawn against Dortmund.

good news.

Soon, the guest pulled out the white ball representing Manchester United.

The opponent is...

"Well"

The carriage was very quiet. Tang Ye looked at Rodri, and Rodri was looking at him in return.

……

Top post on Dongqiudi: Champions League Round of 16 draw results are out, Cristiano Ronaldo faces his former club Manchester United, Liverpool vs. Real Madrid.

When Tang Ye was still playing for Villarreal, he felt that the draws for the Champions League and Europa League were manipulated by UEFA.

This season's knockout stage draw results prove this point once again!
Having just transferred to Juventus, Ronaldo immediately ran into Manchester United.

"This is a clash between two Manchester United players from different eras, and it's worth mentioning that I don't think this was a good draw for Ronaldo."

"The prince of Old Trafford has changed hands, and Juventus' fighting spirit this season is clearly weaker than Manchester City's. Tom will show him what the new king of Old Trafford is all about," a Sky Sports commentator said in his latest Champions League column.

It's normal for the English media to speak up for English teams, but the comments section is full of lamentations from Manchester United fans.

Knowing full well that Ronaldo has a knack for turning the tide, why are you still giving Manchester United a boost?

[Commentator, are you a Liverpool fan? Are you depressed after losing the game?]

Manchester United players were given a long-awaited vacation after the Manchester derby.

Unfortunately, December is already a cold winter, and Tang Ye is the kind of person who is quite afraid of the cold, so he can only stay at home.

It's actually quite a pity.

Tom just got his driver's license not long ago, and he hasn't even had a chance to show it off yet!

With the wireless keyboard on, Tang Ye was ready to play a thrilling game.

At that moment, Rodri pushed open his door.

"Hmm? What's up, Rhodes? Do you want to come play? I'll show you around."

Have you started?

Rodri glanced at Tang Ye's computer screen: "Hmm, it's good that it hasn't started yet."

"What's wrong, Rhodes?"

Tang Ye became even more curious.

"Watching the game, Manchester City vs. Leicester City."

Tang Ye and Rodri often watch the game together on the sofa in the living room; it's become a habit.

but……

Because of preparations for the Reds-White match, Tang Ye hasn't played games for several days.

"Manchester City will definitely win against Leicester City, we don't need to watch anymore, right?"

Tang Ye wanted to play the game, but he didn't want his younger brother Luo De to watch the match alone.

In the end, he decided to fulfill his duty as the eldest brother and shut down the computer that he had just turned on.

boom!
click!
He skillfully slammed it onto the sofa, but this time something seemed to have gone wrong.

"Hmm, did you hear that, Rhodes?"

Tang Ye quickly stood up, while Rodri examined the sofa that Tang Ye had just slammed on: "Hmm... if nothing unexpected happens, your sofa must be damaged."

"Haha, it's okay, it's still usable even if it breaks."

Tang Ye searched around for something, while Rodri turned on the television.

Get a few bags of potato chips and a few bottles of drinks too.

Have some more nuts.

The match has started, and the current score is 0-0.

Manchester City's possession rate is still surprisingly high, now approaching 70%.

"I told you, Leicester City is no match for Manchester City."

Tang Ye, munching on sunflower seeds, said, "Damn, these sunflower seeds are so hard to chew, ugh... I'm not eating them for now." "Seriously, even if I took the second team to play Leicester City, we might not lose. They're too weak."

Leaning back against the cushions, Tang Ye felt very relaxed.

Suddenly, he and Rodri stood up together.

"Holy crap, that's awesome!"

In the 12th minute of the match, Albrighton scored from a corner kick, opening the scoring for Manchester City.

"Leicester City are too strong!!!"

Manchester City are down 0-1!
Tang Ye clutched his head.

No way...

After sitting back down on the sofa, Tang Ye suddenly stopped eating.

"Impressive, Albrighton!"

He nodded slightly: "Luckily, I brought the second team to play against them, otherwise we would have been thrashed. Leicester City is really strong."

……

Dongqiudi live match report: Albrighton taps in a shot, Leicester City leads Manchester City 1-0.

Okay, actually I'm a Leicester City fan.

When one blue team tries to stop Manchester United, another blue team will lend a helping hand!

Leicester City are really strong, but I feel Manchester City can turn things around.

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

Rodri and Tang Ye's phones were practically exploding with messages; the Manchester United first team's group chat was flooded with discussions about the match.

Ashley Young said he dreamed that Manchester City lost.

Just before the end of the first half, De Bruyne equalized the score with a long-range shot.

no!

Kevin!

Tang Ye slumped onto the sofa.

The score was 1-1.

It's not too bad, though. As long as Leicester City doesn't concede another goal in the second half, Manchester City will only be able to finish with a draw.

Manchester United will win the next match easily.

Therefore, if Manchester City fails to secure 3 points in this match, they will most likely lose their top spot.

Manchester City will give Manchester United a chance, but Manchester United won't be so lenient!
The Sun reports that five Liverpool fans were arrested by police for violence during the Manchester derby.

Repost: Tang Ye posted photos of himself watching the Manchester City vs. Leicester City match on his personal social media, and in the tweet, Tang Ye cheered for Leicester City.

Dongqiudi live match report: Aguero's goal was ruled offside, the score remains 1-1.

The match has reached the 70th minute of the second half, and the score is still 1-1.

Manchester United fans must be the most excited right now.

Is what they've been waiting for finally coming?
"What a pity!"

"Leicester City are looking for opportunities to continue their goal-scoring spree, but Harry Maguire's yellow card could be a concern for the remainder of the game."

"Yes, Jason, if I were a Manchester City player, I would deliberately try to draw a foul from Maguire at this point."

Tang Ye and Rodley watched intently from the living room.

There's no need to worry about complaints from neighbors or downstairs, because they've rented out several suites in the vicinity together.

Tang Ye hugged the pillow tightly.

Keep it up! Keep it up!

Madison passes to Vardy!
Vardy then looks for Pereira on the wing!
Cross!

Manchester United fans are just as nervous as Leicester City fans right now.

Snapped!
Albrighton unleashed a powerful shot, but Ederson made the save.

"Depend on!"

"That's a really quick reaction!"

Tang Ye shook his head.

but it does not matter.

Time is running out, and Leicester City just needs to maintain the current score.

Then Manchester United can take the opportunity to rise to the top!

Snapped!
The corner kick is taken.

By the time Rodri reacted, the ball was already in the goal.

"hol...shit!"

Rodri stood up: "Who scored, Tom?"

Tang Ye watched the TV and slowly said the name of the goal scorer.

"Maguire"

Dongqiudi Match Report: Albrighton scores, Maguire's header seals the victory, Leicester City 2-1 Manchester City, handing them their first defeat of the season. (10231 comments)

Liverpool suffered a defeat in the 17th round of the Premier League.

In the 18th round of the Premier League, Manchester City retaliated, suffering their first defeat of the season.

Foxes' miracle has returned, and based on the current situation, the Premier League teams that haven't lost a game yet will have an advantage in the standings.

So which team in the entire Premier League is still undefeated?
It's so hard to guess!

The Manchester Evening News' front page headline reads: Manchester City suffers a shock defeat! Manchester United, with one game in hand, are level on points with Manchester City but have a three-goal advantage in goal difference. Manchester United's opponent in the 18th round is Cardiff City, a newly promoted Premier League team this season.

It's very simple.

Unless the newly promoted team can beat Manchester United, Manchester City is in trouble.

The current Manchester City players view Cardiff City in the same way that Manchester United players viewed Leicester City in the past.

However, there is one difference.

The AI ​​has a 77% win rate against Leicester City.

But Manchester United's AI win rate against Cardiff City is 92%!

……

I don't know what to say right now.

After the loss, Guardiola gave an interview to reporters.

The Manchester City manager's eyes were red, and it's likely that the team's dressing room was quite lively just now.

“We made a mistake, so we have to bear the consequences. We knew Manchester United were chasing us, but we just didn’t expect to lose the game at this point…”

The drawbacks of a congested schedule have become apparent. In order to compete with their Champions League group opponents for first place in the group, Manchester City expended too much energy in their last match.

They secured first place in their Champions League group, but they lost in the Premier League!
"So...do you think Manchester United will beat Cardiff City as the fans predict and snatch the league title from you?"

The reporter handed the microphone to Guardiola.

Guardiola looked at the reporter with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot.

"Although Manchester United and Liverpool are our biggest rivals this season, there's no need for us to belittle them at this time."

"Dude, you're not even asking a question worth answering, okay?"

Guardiola left the interview area.

Click, click, click!

Dongqiudi reposted Sky Sports – When asked by a reporter whether Manchester United would beat Cardiff City, Guardiola told the reporter that it was not a question worth answering.

Match Preview: Manchester United will face Cardiff City away in the 18th round of the Premier League. The Red Devils can climb to the top of the table if they remain unbeaten.

You can reach the top if you don't lose.

Manchester United fans are now just hoping their team won't suddenly falter at this crucial moment.

Perform as expected!

If they perform at their normal level, Manchester United will be number one in the league after the match!
On the day of the match, fans waited for the Manchester United team bus at the entrance of the training ground.

"come on!"

"Come on Manchester United!"

“TangYe TangYe TangYe!”

TheScored website analyzed match data from Manchester United and Cardiff City this season and last season, and ultimately provided predictions.

Manchester United 5-0 Cardiff City, this is the predicted score based on data analysis.

While this may seem exaggerated, it illustrates that a gap does indeed exist between the two teams.

Cardiff City not only carries the burden of avoiding relegation, but also the hopes of Manchester City fans.

Manchester City and Cardiff City are both cities, and they are both on the opposite side of Manchester United.

Come on, Cardiff City!
……

Repost: Manchester United officially released the poster for the 18th round of the league, with Tang Ye looking up at the sky.

The sky was blue, but the sky reflected in Tang Ye's pupils was red.

CCTV5.

"China Media Group, this is a live broadcast for you..."

"The referee is checking his watch!"

"The match has begun! Now let me introduce the starting lineups for both teams! First up is the home team, Cardiff City!"
