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

Chapter 508: Fog at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, Tang Ye and his predecessor Ronaldo
Tang Ye rolled one and a half times on the ground, then sat up.

Hey!

He shrugged at Cristiano Ronaldo.

It was clear that Ronaldo was a bit anxious, and after hesitating for a moment, he walked over and reached out to Tang Ye.

"……call"

Tang Ye hesitated for a moment, but finally grabbed Ronaldo's hand and got up.

"Eh"

"Ronaldo's foul was a bit unnecessary."

"Yes, the game seemed a bit rushed, but both sides eventually calmed down."

Perhaps because the foul was committed by Cristiano Ronaldo, Tang Ye's emotions seemed to change after he got up from the ground.

Of course, he still showed sufficient respect for his Manchester United predecessors.

The game continued, and this was a direct free-kick opportunity for Manchester United.

Let Tang Ye handle it.

"call……"

Tang Ye placed the ball on the white line and exchanged glances with his teammates.

Tang Ye pointed to the grass under his feet, wanting Martial to give him a thumbs-up in response.

But Martial didn't give a thumbs up, which meant he didn't understand what Tang Ye wanted to do.

Well, it seems GGBond still needs to practice his eye contact skills.

Smalling came out of the penalty area, found Tang Ye, and the two whispered to each other.

"You let Anthony (Martial) move up front, and I'll find an opening in the middle to pass the ball."

Tang Ye patted Smalling on the back.

Manchester United's free kick is ready!

"Thump, thump, thump"

Tang Ye's heart was pounding faster and faster as he prepared to pass the ball, having already found the passing lane.

Beep!
He ran up...

Snapped!
He lobbed the ball up into the penalty area, and Martial turned to prepare.

Snapped!
He unleashed a powerful volley, sending the ball directly into the far corner.

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"Manchester United has scored!"

"Manchester United's set-piece tactics were a success! Hmm, that was truly a perfect combination!"

The second goal was not offside, and an excited Martial quickly ran out and delivered a sliding knee slide.

The Manchester United striker made a celebration gesture with his black-gloved hand.

The power of the glove mouse!

"Nice!"

Tang Ye came up from behind, ready to jump on Martial.

But because Rashford had already grabbed Martial, Tang Ye jumped directly onto Rashford's body.

They're all the same!

"Marcus!!!"

"Ha ha!"

【Awesome! 】

[Cristiano Ronaldo is the culprit in this wave]

[Didn't Tang Ye score with a long-range shot if Ronaldo hadn't fouled?]

[The goal-scoring strategy, right? It's about preventing Tang Ye from scoring because Ronaldo wants to pad his stats.]

Stop calling yourselves "Barcelona fans," the smell is too strong!

Whether it's Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi, if either of them is involved in a match, the comments section on Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports website) will never be friendly.

The conflict between Ronaldo fans and Messi fans is class-based, and class conflict cannot be resolved.

If these two fan groups ever meet, a conflict is almost inevitable.

"xuuu!!!"

The Manchester United players, who were celebrating, were quickly met with boos from the home fans.

However, the Manchester United players maintained a good attitude and simply ignored it.

In the 55th minute of the second half, Ten Hag made a substitution.

Allais replaced Rashford.

Haller came on as a center forward, while Martial filled in for Rashford on the left wing.

This is experience that Ten Hag has learned from previous matches.

Rashford was on fire in the first half, but he always faltered in the second half.

What should I do?
It's very simple, just take Rashford off the field when his attacking desire diminishes.

The formation changes from 4231 to 433, but Tang Ye's position remains unchanged.

"Come on, come on!"

Tang Ye signaled to his teammate to pass the ball to him and began his maneuver.

He pulled the ball back, turned, and shook off Pjanic before dribbling forward.

Wow!!!

"Take a look!"

The opponent suddenly launched an attack, putting pressure on the Juventus players.

The defender is coming closer!
Someone tried to pressure him, but Tang Ye remained relatively calm.

The speed has slowed down.

Duel!

Make a feint and try to nutmeg the defender.

However, Tang Ye did not find a good opportunity.

Pjanic was closing in from behind, so Tang Ye had no choice but to quickly pass the ball to Martial.

Martial goes to the baseline!

Snapped!
A cross was delivered, but it was blocked by the opposing full-back's body.

The ball did not go out of bounds, and Martial successfully stabilized it near the corner flag.

The defender seized the opportunity and immediately marked Martial closely.

"Martial can't turn around now..."

The attack seemed to be forced to stop, and teammates quickly went to provide support.

Tang Ye and Luke Shaw moved closer together.

Let Rodri handle the mid-lane arc first!
Luke Shaw immediately moved up to help Martial clear the ball, while Tang Ye sneaked behind the defender.

Seizing the opportunity, Martial nutmegged the ball to Tang Ye!
"Oh!!!!"

Cancelo turned around and fell to the ground.

"go back!"

Bonucci and Chiellini quickly retreated, and Tang Ye received the ball, turned, and then approached the penalty area.

Take it one step at a time!
Bonucci prepared to defend, focusing intently on the ball at Tang Ye's feet.

Go up!

Bonucci tried to stop Tang Ye from entering the penalty area, but Tang Ye pulled the ball back to protect him.

Then push the ball forward!

Bonucci knew the ball had passed him, and very cleverly chose to physically challenge Tang Ye, preventing Tang Ye from getting the ball immediately.

boom!
Tang Ye and Bonucci collided.

It was a free kick opportunity from the side, but Rodri, who had made a forward run, took possession of the ball.

Manchester United had a good chance of attacking, but the referee didn't call a foul!
Rodri received the ball in the penalty area and adjusted his position, but was quickly interfered with by Pjanic.

Pass the ball to Tang Ye!

Tang Ye has the ball again!
With a ball control attribute of 88 and a whole host of ball control skills, Tang Ye knew it was time to show his strength.

First, use a bicycle to deceive the rider, then go down to the bottom!

Bonucci followed.

This Juventus defender reacted incredibly quickly; no matter what Tang Ye did, he always found the most appropriate way to handle it.

Turn your left foot around!
At the moment Bonucci stopped abruptly, Tang Ye poked the ball with his left toe, sending it flying past Bonucci's feet.

!!!

Bonucci turned to look behind him.

The center-back's intuition told him that the goal was in great danger.

Snapped!
Ziyech's shot was unsuccessful, and the goalkeeper made no save.

"The ball is in!"

"Manchester United's second goal!"

It was Tang Ye who provided the assist again, but this time the goal scorer was Ziyech instead of Martial.

2: 0!

Manchester United extend their lead!

"Roar!!!"

Ziyech rushed to the corner flagpole to celebrate, while Ten Hag raised his arms at the same time.

The Manchester United manager now feels confident of victory.

The players were happy, but Ten Hag was actually even happier.

Juventus has Cristiano Ronaldo, the son of a former Manchester United player, in their squad, so this match is of extraordinary significance to Ten Hag.

To talk about Manchester United's revival right in front of Ronaldo is a slap in the face to the Portuguese star.

This is the terrifying Ten Hach.

The terrifying Eric Tenhach! "Wow!"

Tang Ye gave Ziyech and Rodri a high five.

[Second assist for a goal, you gain an additional 30 comeback points]

With a two-goal lead over Juventus, Manchester United have essentially secured the advantage in this match.

The game begins again!
It's now the 71st minute of the second half, and the weather at the stadium is starting to change.

A noticeable fog rose from the stadium.

It was fine at first, but later the camera's field of vision was severely obstructed.

"My goodness, this thick fog... haha!"

"The players on the field are probably experiencing a similar situation to what we're seeing. This level of fog has reduced visibility to less than 50 meters, which will definitely have a significant impact on the game."

"However, I think this should be a good thing for Juventus?"

The explanation briefly analyzed his own thought process.

Manchester United's greatest strength lies in long-ball counter-attacks, and the fog has had the greatest impact on their handling of long passes.

Manchester United will find it much harder to launch counter-attacks from their own half now than before.

"hiss!!!"

"Sizzle sizzle!!!!"

Seemingly aware of this, Juventus fans in the stands lit the fireworks they had hidden on their bodies.

The fog and smoke mixed together, and visibility at the stadium continued to decrease.

“Juve Ohhh!”

“Juve Ohhh!!”

You can't see what's happening in the stands, but you can hear the cheers from the fans. This is the current situation from the CCTV live broadcast studio.

The players on the field were in similar condition.

Come!
Tang Ye took the ball from his teammate and turned to look towards the frontcourt.

Tang Ye is currently in Manchester United's backfield.

Seeing what's happening near the center circle from here isn't a problem for Tang Ye.

But to delve deeper, we need to observe Juventus' performance in the first half.

I'm sorry, but the thick white fog successfully blocked Tang Ye's view.

It's obviously not feasible to pass the ball long when you can't see anything, so Tang Ye dribbles forward himself.

Tang Ye could vaguely see a black leg in front of him and seized the opportunity.

boom!
The ball is played through.

"Eh!"

"Tang Ye, send a long pass directly to Martial who's cutting inside!"

"Is this distance even visible?"

The commentator stared wide-eyed; Martial hadn't even seen who passed the ball to him.

But judging from the feeling when receiving the ball...

Well, this ball, unsurprisingly, came from a player whose last name is GG.

With a quick inside cut and acceleration, Martial easily pulled away from Pjanic.

With that long pass, Manchester United turned the fog into an advantage.

The attack has been launched, and now the fog is actually in Manchester United's favor.

Martial knows where the goal is.

But the goalkeeper wouldn't be able to pinpoint Martial's exact location.

Cut inside!

Snapped!
Switch the ball to the right wing and pass it to Ziyech who is making a run forward.

Ziyech is on the byline!

Then comes the cross!
He passed the ball into the penalty area, and Haller and the defenders prepared to contest for the ball.

Snapped!
Finally, Szczesny hit the ball.

This attack was absolutely perfect.

The ball was passed to Pjanic, and Juventus seized the opportunity to launch a counter-attack.

Pjanic passed the ball to Cancelo first.

Cancelo dribbled the ball forward along the right flank and began his run.

Pjanic's ball handling was very clever; by dribbling along the flank, the Manchester United players on the other flank, positioned deeper, couldn't find Cancelo's location.

"Go back, go back!"

Tang Ye signaled his teammates to retreat, while he himself retreated and moved towards Cancelo's position.

There's less fog near the center circle, which should be an opportunity if we want to defend successfully.

Rhodes moved closer.

Eh!
Rodri stretched out his leg to try and steal the ball, but Cancelo had already passed it to the middle.

Mandzukic has the ball now!

Not daring to be negligent, Tang Ye quickly ran towards Mandzukic to mark the Juventus striker closely.

He also needs to predict the situation on the flanks.

"Go back to the left, go back!"

Cancelo will definitely continue to go down the wing, and Manchester United cannot allow the opponent to easily create receiving opportunities.

With Cancelo marked by Luke Shaw, Mandzukic had to look for teammates on the other side.

But Tang Ye anticipated his intention and immediately launched a tackle.

boom!
Mandzukic's possession of the ball was disrupted!
Tang Ye lay on the ground, preparing to get up and retrieve the ball, but Pjanic beat him to it.

"My grass!"

The interception was successful, but possession of the ball remains with the opponent.

Pjanic passed the ball to Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo made a diagonal run into the penalty area, but was marked by De Jong.

He pedaled the bicycle once in place, then accelerated and sprinted straight towards the finish line.

“ohhhh!!!”

Cristiano Ronaldo's impact on the byline was quite dramatic, and De Jong couldn't keep up immediately.

He moved down the wing while simultaneously heading towards the goal.

Just before the ball went out of bounds, Ronaldo unleashed a left-footed shot.

boom!
The ball hit the outside netting on the side of the goal.

"Depend on!"

Ronaldo fell to the ground, feeling resentful but helpless.

The angle of that ball was absolutely extreme!
"fine!"

"Go Ronaldo!"

"Ronaldo!"

When a team is in trouble, fans instinctively hope that the team's star players will perform well and help the team turn the tide.

Unfortunately, Ronaldo's performance in this match was not very good!
In the 83rd minute of the second half, the score was still 2-0, with Manchester United controlling the situation in the fog.

Cristiano Ronaldo

"Cut inwards"

"Just unleash a long-range shot!"

Snapped!
That was a really cool long-range shot, but De Gea punched it away!

"hiss……"

In the footage, Ronaldo is seen clenching his upper and lower teeth tightly, with his hands clenched into fists, clearly indicating that he is experiencing significant discomfort while kicking.

"..."

"Beep, beep beep!!!"

The match has ended. In the second leg of the Round of 16, Manchester United successfully shut out Juventus 2-0, establishing a significant advantage for advancing.

Tang Ye stood on the grass, turning his head to look at Cristiano Ronaldo not far away.

Cristiano doesn't seem to have the same dribbling ability as he did when he was with Real Madrid.

Is it because he is old?
"hiss……"

Shaking his head, Tang Ye looked away from Cristiano Ronaldo.

He knew Ronaldo's personality; he knew Ronaldo would get angry if he spoke like that to the Portuguese player!
Tang Ye was about to go and chat with Rodri when, as the two walked toward the players' tunnel, Cristiano Ronaldo unexpectedly walked over to Tang Ye.

"Tom"

Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Ye clapped: "Sorry for that foul earlier..."

Although they were never teammates, Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Ye had a special connection and had known each other for quite some time.

It would be unwise to ruin a relationship over a few games.

"Oh, it's alright, Cristiano, it's alright."

Tang Ye and Ronaldo shared a hug: "Good luck in the second leg!"

"Good luck in the next round!"

Cristiano Ronaldo was about to walk into the tunnel when he remembered something and turned his head back.

"but……"

Tom, I want to tell you something in advance.

"It won't be so easy for you next time."

Haha, okay.

Tang Ye shrugged: "I'm already looking forward to the second leg. Good luck, Cristiano. And... good luck to myself too."
