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

Chapter 523 Manchester United's away game against Arsenal, Tang Ye's Bible actually has many versions?
Arsenal (3-4-1-2)

Goalkeeper: Leno

Defenders: Sokratis, Koscielny, Monreal

Midfielders: Maitland-Niles, Ramsey, Xhaka, Kolasinac
Forwards: Lacazette, Özil, Aubameyang

Head Coach: Emery

One player in Arsenal's starting lineup has caught the attention of Chinese fans: number 10, Mesut Özil.

The story between Tang Ye and Özil dates back to last year's World Cup.

At the time, the Chinese team was playing against the German team in Moscow. With the score 0-0 in the first half, Tang Ye uttered the famous line in the locker room, "Am I worse than him? Let me play defense."

The CCTV commentators then started discussing this matter.

"Actually, Tang Ye was probably under pressure at the time. I was also commentating on that match. After failing to score in the first 15 minutes, the German players suddenly became anxious and then committed a series of fouls against Tang Ye."

"Of course, Özil's performance in that match was indeed poor."

"Sigh, Coach Zhan, you can't compare Tang Ye to other midfielders."

During the World Cup, Özil played as a midfielder. If you compare a midfielder to Tang Ye, then no matter who it is, he will be outclassed.

Do you think Özil is bad? He actually has a certain level of ability, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to secure a starting midfield position in the German national team, which is full of talented players.

But do you think Özil is stronger than Tang Ye?

hiss--

That seems a bit too amateurish.

5th minute of the first half.

The director focused the camera on the away team's fans in the stands.

Manchester United fans held up signs that read "The Bible of the Infamous Tang Ye".

It's worth mentioning that Manchester United fans wrote both English and Chinese versions.

[Even a terrible player like Özil can play offense, so why am I only good at defense?]

Am I not better than that Özil? He could have just passed the ball to me.

I don't know what you're afraid of. If we're bolder, won't we win?

“xuuu——!!!”

Manchester United fans know that Özil is a key player for Arsenal.

We have to really mess with his mentality!
12th minute of the first half.

Arsenal currently have the advantage, but Rodri cleverly moved to the left wing and cooperated with Ashley Young to intercept Lacazette.

"Come!"

Tang Ye asked Rodri for the ball!

He received the ball and, facing Ramsey and Özil's challenge, stepped on it and flicked it backward, easily completing a nutmeg of Ramsey.

While Tang Ye and the Arsenal players were locked in a stalemate, McTominay ran up from the side.

McTominay dribbles forward.

"hurry up!"

Ten Hach has already started urging them.

McTominay maximized his scoring ability, seizing the opportunity to pass the ball through to the left flank.

Rashford makes a run forward to receive the ball.

Niles leaned closer.

Papastathopoulos was behind them too!

With two defenders marking him simultaneously, Rashford had no chance.

Stop the ball by stepping on it and wait for your teammates to come up and support you.

Tang Ye brought Rodri up.

Rashford passed the ball across to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye kowtows to Rodri again!

Very fast short passing combinations.

The cat and mouse duo, the older brother and the younger brother, have a teamwork that can only be described as masterful.

Why do these two combinations work together so well?

Because the cat and the older brother are the same person!

"Let's go!"

Rashford is preparing to go down the byline.

Rashford's forward run drew Niles away, giving Tang Ye the opportunity to run into open space!

Abandoning the idea of ​​passing the ball to Rashford, Rodri cut inside with his left foot and passed the ball directly to Tang Ye.

clap clap!

After a one-two pass with Martial, Tang Ye received the ball and ran directly into the penalty area.

Without realizing it, Koscielny got a chance to play.

boom!
Arsenal's center-back cleared the ball, but didn't clear it far enough.

McTominay passed the ball back!

Turning to face the ball rolling towards him, Tang Ye suddenly jumped up and slammed his heel against the ball.

Wow!!!

A classic no-look pass: Tang Ye delivers the ball to Martial in the penalty area.

Martial shoved him directly!
Leno blocked the ball with his body, and the ball came back to Tang Ye's feet.

Kick it again!
The opportunity was given to Martial.

This is the Manchester United striker's second shot on goal.

This time, Martial was more composed and found the right shooting angle.

"The ball is in!"

"A goal from Anthony Martial in the 15th minute!"

"1:0!"

Manchester United are leading away from home.

Arsenal's goalkeeper handled the situation well, so Manchester United put in a lot of effort to score that goal.

"Martial!"

Tang Ye and Ma Xia hugged each other in the penalty area, and then the two ran together towards the corner flag with their arms around each other's shoulders.

"United!"

“Martialllll!!!”

Manchester United fans chanted the name of the goal scorer, Anthony Martial.

You have gained 10 comeback points.

"Wow!"

Tang Ye and McTominay hugged each other.

He gradually found and proved the effectiveness of the team's youth training program.

Just like when I was trying to find a good fit with Ziyech before!
Tang Ye knew exactly what McTominay wanted to do.

McTominay also knew what Tang Ye wanted to do.

In this way, when the two cooperate, they can achieve a result greater than the sum of their parts (1+1>2).

And this is precisely what Master GG excels at!
Why was he able to get the ball a second time?

Leno gestured towards Koscielny and Monrea in the penalty area.

"They keep passing the ball into the penalty area. No matter how fast I react, it's useless. Can you guys keep a close eye on the players?"

Arsenal players are now in a real bind, while on the other side of the camera, Tang Ye and Ashley Young are dancing.

Although Yang really ate shit, GGBond won't tell reporters about it.

He had to protect his teammates!
"..."

"Actually, we can see that using a three-man defense against Manchester United would be quite difficult."

"Arsenal probably wanted to play attacking, but because Tang Ye put so much defensive pressure on them, we could see that Maitland-Niles and Kolasinac basically never came out of their defensive line."

"Yes, it looks like a three-man defense, but Arsenal has actually become a five-man defense..."

Since last season, there has been a saying in the Premier League that you should never use a three-man defense when playing against Manchester United.

But there are always people who don't believe in evil.

Emery believes Arsenal can only perform at their best when playing with a three-man defense, so he tried this tactic again today.

The result is what it is now.

The camera pans to Emery on the sidelines of the pitch.

Arsenal fans in the stands behind Emery are chanting, hoping he will make tactical adjustments.

"Win! Win! We can't afford to lose again!"

"I want to play in the Champions League, not the Europa League!"

27th minute of the first half.

Snapped!
A cross from midfielder Xhaka from the 45-degree angle.

Lacazette gets the ball in the attacking third!
Without any hesitation, he controlled the ball and quickly passed it to Özil on the wing. Özil then played a through ball to Aubameyang.

Next up was Aubameyang's performance. Despite being nearly 1.9 meters tall, the Arsenal striker possessed excellent ball control skills.

Left foot passes to right foot, right foot passes to left foot.

Step on the ball and dangle it around yourself.

Aubameyang skillfully evaded Smalling's challenge.

Smalling was a bit too hasty and failed to make a tackle at first, then fouled Aubameyang the next second.

"Beep!!!"

The referee blew the whistle.

Manchester United committed a clear foul, giving Arsenal a direct free kick opportunity.

"be careful!"

Ten Hag shouted, and even specifically asked Valencia to deliver a message to Smalling.

Valencia ran to Smalling's side: "Don't rush, just play steadily and we'll be fine."

Smalling and Valencia exchanged fist bumps, and then Smalling clapped hands with Bailly next to him.

Arsenal's direct free-kick opportunities are left to Özil and Xhaka.

Tang Ye stood at the front, forming the foremost human wall.

Take a closer look, turn to face your teammates, and show 1 and 0 with your right hand respectively.

10, that's Özil's number.

According to Tang Ye's deduction, Arsenal will give this direct free kick opportunity to Özil.

Beep! ! !
The referee blew the whistle.

Özil takes a running start!
jump over!
Then it's Xhaka!
A long-range shot blasted straight into the stands.

"Hey Tom!"

Bailey shouted at Tang Ye, "How can there be false intelligence?!"

"Holy crap, my goodness!"

Tang Ye scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Özil seemed poised to shoot directly at the goal, but it turned out he was just a decoy.

The match continued and Ten Hag returned to the bench.

"Our set-piece defense is a huge problem."

Ten Hag sat down in a chair: "When Özil took his run-up, our entire wall was broken up, and in the end, Özil didn't kick."

The entire wall of players in the penalty area was breached by a single feinting player from the opposing team. This is not a mistake a top-league team should make.

We haven't had this problem before.

Ten Hag shook his head, his eyes filled with anger as he continued to look at the pitch.

Van der Gach has something to say about this.

"that……"

"It seems David and the others were tricked by Tom; I saw their gestures."

"……All right"

It's the 32th minute of the first half.

The tide is slowly turning in Arsenal's favor.

It has to be said that the London Gunners are quite capable.

On the other hand, the absence of Luke Shaw and De Jong has indeed had a significant impact on Manchester United.

Tang Ye and Ziyech stayed on the right sideline.

Look for an opportunity, look for an opportunity...

Taking advantage of an Arsenal player's mistake, Ziyech collided directly with Aubameyang.

Ziyech was no match for Aubameyang and fell to the ground immediately after the collision.

The ball kicked up by Ziyech hit Aubameyang's hand.

Handball!
Tang Ye seized the opportunity, moved closer, and quickly reached out to touch the ball on the ground.

Immediately following was a long pass!
Snapped!
Tang Ye's long pass pierced through Arsenal's midfield defense, accurately finding Rashford.

Rashford!

Rashford and Niles began their one-on-one duel after Rashford took the ball.

Dribble and cut inside!

Manchester United wanted to launch a quick counter-attack, but no one could execute it. So Rashford and Martial could only control the ball in the attacking third and wait for their teammates to provide support.

Arsenal's defenders and Manchester United's attackers moved closer together.

With the help of McTominay and Ziyech, Tang Ye regained possession of the ball.

Tang Ye is currently in a small open space on the right side of the middle lane.

Aubameyang is running towards him!

Snapped!
A classic 22.5-degree cross!
Snapped!
Tang Ye's pass hit the empty space next to Koscielny, bounced up, and then came to the six-yard box.

Ashley Young makes a forward run!

boom!
Ashley Young lifted his left leg and easily put the ball in with his knee.

The ball went in!
Despite Arsenal dominating possession, Manchester United turned the tide and extended their lead with a goal.

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

"Wow... Tang Ye's reaction was really quick. This quick free kick was the key to this attack."

"Yes, we all say that Tang Ye's performance dips slightly when the weather is cold. But it seems that even when he's not at his best, Tang Ye can still put pressure on the opponent's defense."

……

Dongqiudi Halftime Report: Manchester United lead Arsenal 2-0 at halftime; Tang Ye's quick free kick nearly created a one-on-one opportunity.

[Which idiot suggested Arsenal should stop Manchester United? They're not even in the same league.]

The Arsenal vs. Manchester United match should be moved to April. There are many matches in April, and Manchester United will definitely be weakened then.

The issue is currently in March.

Manchester City: Arsenal, go and beat Manchester United!

Manchester United have no substitutes available right now, how are they going to play in April?

"Tom, why is there false information?!"

As soon as Tang Ye returned to the locker room, he was immediately questioned by his teammates.

Kind of embarrassing.

"I don't know, damn it, I felt like he was definitely going to kick it, but he let it go."

Tang Ye sat in his seat and clapped his hands in apology to his teammates.

He certainly knew how dangerous this kind of false information could be to the team.

"It doesn't matter, it's fine."

Rashford, on the other hand, was quite nonchalant: "Anyway, Özil is pretty bad; if he were to play, he'd probably just miss."

When Rashford said the word "vegetarian" in Chinese, his teammates in the room immediately realized what he meant.

Ashley Young pointed at Rashford, feigning sudden realization: "Come on, did you read that Bible?"

"The Bible, haha!"

His teammates were all laughing, and Rashford quickly raised his hands: "That video is so popular, I have to watch it even if I don't want to!"

After saying that, Rashford looked at Tang Ye and asked, "Is Özil really that bad, Tom?"

Tang Ye covered his head with his hands: "Marcus, can you please stop watching that video?"

"Ha ha!"

Ashley Young laughed: "Why wouldn't you watch such a great video?"

Just as Ashley Young was speaking, Alai chimed in, speaking in accented English: "Aren't those 11 German players all slobs? Give me the ball, and I'll just beat them all."

Hey!

Tang Ye shouted, "Seba, the version you're watching is fake! Don't be fooled by the fans; they can Photoshop subtitles!"

"Huh? Isn't that what you said? Come on, Tom! Be honest, we're all on your side."

Haller thought he was seeing the real thing, but it was actually a fan-made alteration.

Even the version Rashford was watching was wrong.

After all, only a minority of people in Europe can understand Chinese, so fans can edit the subtitles however they want.

"If it's not my fault, then it's fake. I'm the one who said that; I absolutely did not say that."

"Ha ha!"

The players were still laughing when Ten Hag and Van der Gaghe finally finished their work.

The first thing Ten Hag did was to berate all the players in the room.

"We're playing in the Premier League, the top tier of English football! What are you guys talking about?"

Tang Ye pointed at Haller: "He was fooled by the fans."
