Dongqiudi Match Report: Greenwood and McTominay score, Tang Ye starts but is substituted after 61 minutes, Manchester United defeat Watford 5-2 to advance to the FA Cup final, where the Manchester derby will be played again. (37212 comments)

[Tang Ye! Starting appearance ↑ 60 minutes, 0 goals 0 assists~~~]

Please, please stop imitating the urea used in football!

[So, if I, Tang Qiuwang, don't score in a single game, I'll get haters, huh?]

Haha, that's what haters are like; they only look at goals and assists, nothing else.

The final score of the match was displayed on the stadium's big screen.

With a score of 5-2, Manchester United successfully advanced to the FA Cup final.

As the match report stated, this season's FA Cup final will be a Manchester derby!
"Hurry up, Mason!"

Greenwood was a little shy about winning MVP for the first time, so Tang Ye waved him over quickly.

"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing!"

Tang Ye pushed Greenwood towards the podium: "Just say it normally, just say it normally."

"What do you mean by 'normal'?"

Faced with Greenwood's question, Tang Ye answered without hesitation: "Normally, I just say whatever I want. I've always been like this, so don't be afraid."

"..."

Greenwood frowned.

how……

Why does it feel different from what the coach taught?
However, Tang Ye held a very high position in Greenwood's heart, and in the end, the Manchester United rookie chose to believe his senior Tang Ye's words.

The master's words are never wrong.

If something is wrong, then the coach is the only one to blame!

"Hmm, very talented..."

Tang Ye stood with his hands on his hips, looking at Greenwood, who was being interviewed by reporters on the podium.

He is the only player younger than him in the Manchester United squad.

Greenwood is only 18 years old this year, the same age as Tang Ye when he first came to Manchester United.

"You think he's very talented, haha."

Van der Gach came up, clearly having overheard Tang Ye's words from behind.

"Yes, of course."

Tang Yan shared her analysis with Van der Gaël: "I feel Mason needs to work on his speed, but actually he doesn't need to. He'll run fast when he grows up."

"So, what do you think of him compared to Ziyech?"

Ok?
Tang Ye didn't know why Van der Gahr was asking him such a question.

Comparing players to each other is indeed a sensitive topic, but Tang Ye trusts his Mr. Michel very much, so he answered seriously.

"I feel Mason has more talent."

"Wow"

Van der Gach nodded slightly: "Then...how does it compare to Marcus?"

"This one……"

Tang Ye tilted his head, clearly finding the question a bit difficult to answer.

"There aren't many strikers who can reach Marcus's level, are there? I feel Mason should have a chance, but he needs to work on his speed and dribbling, those are his strengths. Shooting can wait."

"But to be honest, Mr. Michel, I think Mason's potential might be higher than Marcus's. Because he's ambidextrous."

"Just like you"

"Haha, yes, same as me. But I don't really remember if a striker's left or right foot is more important."

Van der Gach placed his hand on Tang Ye's back, and the latter quieted down to listen to the cheers from the fans in the stands.

《曼市晚报》——2018/19赛季足总杯决赛确定为曼市德比，结合往年赛程经验与本赛季双方赛程，足总杯决赛大概率安排在5月10日至5月25日之间。

"Manchester City have been eliminated from the Champions League and are also three points behind Manchester United in the league, which means they will be focused on winning the FA Cup."

Dongqiudi Match Preview: In the early hours of April 11th, Manchester United will host Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, with Tang Ye facing off against Neymar.

Ten Hag, in an interview, said: "Of all the teams in the Champions League quarterfinals, Paris Saint-Germain is probably the toughest opponent for Manchester United. I admit we might not have been very lucky, but we will work on our tactics and have spent enough time preparing for the Champions League."

The quarter-final match between Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain is undoubtedly the highlight of the game.

Besides Erik ten Hag being asked by reporters to elaborate on his match plans, Paris Saint-Germain striker Neymar was also interviewed.

"As you just said, I look forward to playing against Tom. I played against him many times when I was at Barcelona, ​​back when he was still at Villarreal and his market value hadn't yet exceeded 100 million euros."

Neymar and the reporter were somewhat dazed when they recalled that time in La Liga.

At the time, players and journalists believed that Tang Ye was undoubtedly the most talented midfielder in La Liga, but the highest expectation everyone had for him was that his market value would exceed 100 million.

Unexpectedly, two years later this guy is almost on par with Messi and Ronaldo.

"So do you think Tom is the best in the world right now? On par with Ronaldo and Messi?"

"hiss……"

Neymar pouted, his tattoos prominently displayed on camera: "First of all, he's the best midfielder in the world, that's undeniable. In my opinion, he was already the best midfielder in the world during the second half of the season at Villarreal; I felt the pressure he put on me during the Copa del Rey final. But... I think Tom is still a bit far from being truly the world's best."

I don't know how to describe it.

At this point, Neymar laughed.

"The distance I'm referring to isn't in terms of skill, but something else entirely, though I don't know exactly what it is; it's more of a feeling. Tom doesn't yet have that same feeling as Messi."

Neymar's words were vague, but fans had some general guesses.

The feeling Neymar described is, unsurprisingly, a kind of dominance, a dominance unique to Ballon d'Or winners.

Or, from another perspective, Neymar's point might be... that Tang Ye has too few trophies?
With a market value of 2 million euros, his statistics in various competitions are the best in the world.

GGBond is indeed very talented, but you have to understand that all he has is talent.

Fun fact: GGBond currently doesn't have a single title in any of the top five European leagues.

Do you think you can beat Manchester United in the quarterfinals?

"In terms of raw strength... I can't give a comparison, but our schedule is more flexible, so we have more time to prepare."

Neymar remained calm, and his answer was carefully considered: "Given that the two sides are evenly matched, I believe that ample preparation and a well-prepared starting lineup will be our advantage."

Click!

Click, click, click!

……

As the Champions League quarter-finals approach, the atmosphere at Carrington training ground is gradually becoming tense.

The players are nervous because they know how important this game is to them.

Tang Ye was also under a lot of pressure, so he liked to repeatedly browse his panel after training.

His way of passing the time is to look at the attribute panel, the talent panel, and then check the levels of his various items.

Right below the attribute panel, there was a very eye-catching task description.

Three penalty kicks or eight goals.

This task may seem easy, but it actually has quite high requirements.

Because you have to understand that it's already April, and Manchester United doesn't have many games left this season!

Of the three penalty kicks and the eight goals, it is obviously easier to score eight goals.

At least that's the case for Tang Ye.

If Manchester United fail to advance to the Champions League semi-finals, they will only have nine games left this season, which is roughly equivalent to one goal per game.

A ray of sunlight suddenly shone on Tang Ye's face above the training field. After the clouds dispersed, Carrington welcomed its first sunny day of April.

"gone!"

Valencia patted Tang Ye on the shoulder, and the Manchester United player quickly ran to Ten Hag.

Tomorrow is the match against Paris Saint-Germain, and the Manchester United coaching staff needs to reiterate the match arrangements to the players.

"We won't play 4-2-3-1 tomorrow, we'll play 4-3-3, let's start with 4-3-3. If things don't go well, we'll adjust the formation back in the second half. But Michel and I have had some discussions, and 4-3-3 shouldn't be a big problem."

"Next, regarding the starting players, let me first talk about the starting lineup for tomorrow's game."

……

L'Equipe – With a crucial match approaching, Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi stated that the Manchester United team they are facing this season is the strongest they have faced in recent seasons, but this is still within the team's acceptable range.

"Because of Manchester United's outstanding performance in the league and the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain immediately began preparations for their match against Manchester United after the Round of 16, which gave the PSG players and coaching staff a great deal of confidence."

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi stated before the match that his team would defeat Manchester United at Old Trafford.

However, these offhand news stories don't really attract the attention of fans.

Compared to what Nasser said, the news from France Football was more interesting.

France Football's front-page headline: The Qatari consortium behind Paris Saint-Germain is very interested in TY and is willing to pay a hefty transfer fee of over 2 million euros.

[Trying to scramble players before the match, huh? Good thing it's not the transfer window, or you'd really get away with it.]

[What's wrong with the Qatari gentlemen? They want both Mbappe and Tang Ye, the two most valuable players in the world, right?]

[Ligue 1 isn't very competitive, and I feel it's not as exciting as the Premier League. Tang Ye, maybe you shouldn't go there.]

[Qatar businessman: €5000 million annual salary, are you in?]

Why are you in such a rush to make money? I, GGBond, haven't even won the Ballon d'Or yet!

Originally it was Juventus and Borussia Dortmund, but now Paris Saint-Germain has suddenly appeared, making the number of teams demanding Tang Ye's services from two to three.

The summer transfer window won't open until June, but fans can already imagine how exciting it will be this year.

……

4 month 10 day.

"xuuuu!!!"

"Fuck you!"

Outside Old Trafford, Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain fans clashed, and local SWAT officers used riot shields to try to separate the two groups.

"What are you guys being so arrogant about? Tom will be playing in Paris next season."

"How much annual salary can you offer Tom?"

Seeing that Manchester United had the numbers and couldn't win the verbal battle, Paris Saint-Germain fans changed their tune and said they wanted to poach Manchester United's star player.

This action directly angered the Manchester United fans at the stadium.

Although the intensity of competition in Ligue 1 is not high, considering that Paris Saint-Germain can directly pay a transfer fee of 200 million euros and can also provide Tang Ye with a huge salary.

In fact, this French team poses a greater threat to Manchester United than Juventus and Dortmund!
boom!
A Manchester United fan threw a water bottle at a Paris Saint-Germain fan on the head.

The fan involved was quickly taken away by special police.

The fan who was taken away seemed to have made some kind of sacrifice, clenching his right fist and shouting something incessantly.

Long live Manchester!

Long live Manchester!

……

"China Media Group! Good evening, viewers. This is a live broadcast for you..."

"As we've said before, this match is absolutely crucial for both Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain."

"Especially for Manchester United, since Tang Ye joined last season, Manchester United has gradually ushered in their strongest period in recent years. For Manchester United fans, this is an opportunity for the team to revive."

The two commentators chatted happily in the live broadcast room, while the players on the field completed their entrance ceremony.

"5, 4, 3..."

"1!"

"Alright, let the match begin!"

"Now I will introduce the starting lineups for both teams!"

"..."

Paris (4-3-3)
Goalkeeper: Buffon

Defenders: Bernat, Kimpembe, Thiago Silva, Tino Kehrer

Midfielders: Draxler, Marquinhos, Verratti
Forwards: Mbappe, Cavani, Neymar
Head Coach: Tuchel

As soon as the match began, the camera focused on the presidential box, where the Glazer family, shareholders of Manchester United, and the Qatari consortium behind Paris Saint-Germain were seated on the chairs outside the VIP box.

Today, guests from the Middle East were present to watch the game, but Manchester United fans showed absolutely no respect for the Glazers.

[Grezer, get out!]

The Glazer family is a stumbling block to Manchester United's revival!

Stop your greed, Glazer.

"What are those?"

The Qatari man pointed to the south stand, where a banner hung by Manchester United fans caught his attention.

Although they couldn't fully understand what the banner said, the Qataris knew it was directed at the Glazers.

"No need to worry about it"

Glazer didn't even glance at it.

Manchester United fans want the Glazer family to contribute more to the team and help them through this difficult time.

But the Glazer brothers thought this was highly unrealistic.

Football clubs exist to make money, so how can you expect shareholders to contribute?

"Um"

The Qatari nodded slightly, glanced at the stadium, and saw live footage of Tang Ye running on the field on the big screen: "I'd like to ask about TY."

10th minute of the first half!

Marquinhos successfully passed the ball to Neymar.

Neymar passed the ball back and forth between his left and right feet, and Rodri, who was responsible for the defense in front of him, carefully observed and decisively cleared the ball when he found an opportunity.

This is a throw-in for Paris!

"Move! Move! Behind us!"

Kehrer passed the ball to Cavani, who came over to receive it. Cavani stopped abruptly, and after Rodri shifted his weight, he suddenly dribbled forward.

Wow!!!

Paris launched their attack with a throw-in!
Cavani is heading towards the right flank.

Ashley Young is up ahead!

Cavani was very decisive when facing the defense.

Pass it straight back to Neymar!
Neymar passes to Marquinhos again!
Marquinhos!

Snapped!
A long pass was made to the left wing, where Draxler controlled the ball!
Decisively hand it over to Mbappe!
Mbappe goes one-on-one with De Jong!
Manchester United fans thought Mbappe would choose some feint to get past his opponent, but unexpectedly, he just shot the ball forward.

Then start!
