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

Chapter 532 Neymar is injured, Mbappe's long-range shots are close-range.

"Wow!!"

Mbappe used his speed to outmaneuver De Jong.

Mbappe can now get to the byline to find Valencia.
But he chose to cut inside and charge into the penalty area!

Manchester United's defense quickly retreated, with Bailly gradually dropping back.

Tang Ye is already on his way back!

Mbappe, dribbling with the outside of his foot!
He wanted to try to enter the penalty area, but the Manchester United player certainly wouldn't agree.

De Jong, who was tracking back, moved over to try and disrupt Mbappe, but was blocked by a Paris player's body.

De Jong and Draxler were entangled.

Mbappe continues to cut inside!
It was already very dangerous, but fortunately Tang Ye arrived at that moment.

Put your hand on Mbappe's shoulder!
Tang Ye was very focused, paying close attention to Mbappe's leg movements.

The moment Mbappe raised his right leg, Tang Ye reached out and gently pushed him.

Snapped!
Just then, Mbappe took a shot, but due to a loss of balance, it went wide of the goal.

"hiss"

Mbappe stood there, head down, sighing.

He seems to be kicking a little too fast!

"As you can see, from the very beginning of the match, Paris Saint-Germain hoped to put some pressure on Manchester United through Mbappe's speed."

"Yes, Paris' tactics have indeed been effective, and they currently have the upper hand in this match."

But there is a problem.

The commentator, from Paris's perspective, analyzed how they wanted to win this match.

Mbappe and Neymar are both players who must be utilized, without a doubt.

But there's one condition: the Paris Saint-Germain players absolutely cannot rush things.

While Manchester United's defense is their weakness, they are still currently the best team in the Premier League, and their defense isn't so weak that Paris Saint-Germain can easily overwhelm them.

Dongqiudi live match report: In the 19th minute, Tang Ye's long-range shot was saved by Buffon, and Rodri's follow-up shot went wide.

Come on, Manchester United!

Brothers, Paris is better than we thought.

Why don't you just say Manchester United's full-backs are really bad?

[I suggest I put Tang, the King of Football, in defense so he can tackle Neymar right away.]

The comments section is a bit noisy.

This is Manchester United's toughest game in April, so fans are getting a little anxious.

Now we can only hope that the Manchester United players can step up their game!

24th minute!

De Jong dribbled the ball towards the right flank, and Tang Ye went to support him.

Tang Ye wanted to help De Jong clear the ball. However, due to the actions of the Paris Saint-Germain players, the situation changed somewhat.

"I'll go ahead!"

After shouting, Tang Ye abandoned his attempt to support De Jong and turned to run forward.

"Keep an eye on him!"

Tuchel's voice came from the side; the German coach seemed a little anxious.

Marquinhos received the mission and moved closer to Tang Ye.

Manchester United are advancing with the ball!

boom!
Pass the ball to Ziyech up front!

Ziyech failed to control the ball properly in time, losing the opportunity to make a direct cross from the byline.

it's fine!
Ziyech remained very calm, and when he realized there was no chance to get to the byline, he decisively cut back and turned.

boom!
The pass was passed back to Tang Ye, who was running up from the middle!
Well!
I never expected to be able to get the ball in this position.

Somewhat excited, Tang Ye decisively poked the ball forward, avoiding interference from the defenders around him.

Quickly move towards the top of the arc!
Once he had created some distance between himself and the defender, Tang Ye gradually reduced his speed.

This is a prelude to a shot!
Knowing the situation was not right, the Paris Saint-Germain players moved towards the center, and Tang Ye made his move at that moment.

He paused for a moment, shifting his rhythm to avoid Bernat in front of him.

Bernat tried to intercept!

But just before Bernat stretched out his foot, Tang Ye stepped on the ball, startling Bernat into quickly pulling his foot back.

Even a fool would know that you can't give Tang Ye a free kick here!

Thanks to Bernat's caution, Tang Ye successfully entered the penalty area.

He feinted a shot, shaking off Kimpembe in front of him!

"Wow!!!!"

He showed off a few moves, but Tang Ye couldn't find a good opportunity to shoot.

Change the rhythm again and keep the ball firmly in place.

Now there's absolutely no chance to shoot.

Rashford ran up from the left wing.

Tang Ye faked a shot, but actually passed the ball to Rashford!

boom!
A curling shot aimed straight for the bottom right corner of the goal.

Boom!
Rashford's curling shot hit the post.

I rely on!

Reacting quickly, Tang Ye rushed over to try and get a follow-up shot.

But it was too late.

Silva cleared the ball!
"call……"

Tang Ye stood in the penalty area and looked at Rashford, the two of them spreading their hands.

What a pity!
If this ball goes in, Paris's advantage from the first few minutes will be completely wiped out.

Manchester United were also able to maintain their advantage for the remainder of the first half.

It's a pity that the ball didn't go in!
"Hey, it's nothing, it's nothing!"

Tang Ye and Rashford waved, and the Manchester United players prepared to take a corner kick.

Tang Ye made a special trip to Rashford's side and gave him a few words of advice.

"Just focus on yourself, create a little distance between yourself and the other player, and I'll pass the ball when I see an opportunity."

Tang Ye patted Rashford's arm.

He was worried that Rashford's shot might affect his performance later on.

"It's a real shame; Manchester United arguably had their best scoring opportunity of the match."

"But they failed to capitalize on that opportunity, now let's look at the corner kick."

Whether it was a special arrangement or Tang Ye's request, Tang Ye was the one to handle Manchester United's first corner kick in this match.

Beep!
Snapped!
The corner kick is taken!

The first spot is a good one, positioned between Ale and Smalling.

boom!
Smalling headed the ball.

But the goalkeeper caught it easily!

"Eh!"

"The corner kick was very well executed, but Manchester United's final header wasn't executed well."

Let's take a look at the slow motion.

Kimpembe jumped at the same time as Smalling, which caused some interference to Smalling's pitch.

Goodness, this is so similar to the situation where Tang Ye interfered with Mbappe just now!

"Smalling!"

"Smalling!"

The home fans chanted Smalling's name to cheer on their player.

"United!"

"United!"

Time flies, and it's already the 30th minute of the first half, with neither side having scored yet.

In terms of possession, Paris Saint-Germain had 65% possession, putting pressure on Manchester United.

It seems like Manchester United has never had a leading possession rate in the Champions League this season?

"Come!"

Take the ball from Rodri!

Tang Ye prepared to pass the ball to De Rong, who had been positioned in front.

But as he turned around, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye.

Therefore, we decisively changed our strategy.

Snapped!
[De Bruyne's Standard Long Pass Lv5: Replica (Beyond Form)]

Proficiency: 3801/5000.
A very powerful pass, followed by a gasp from the fans and a camera movement from the broadcast.

A long pass from the backfield bypassed the center circle and Paris's midfield line, reaching directly into the backfield.

boom!
The ball bounced off the ground, right in front of Rashford!

"Eh!"

"This is a one-on-one opportunity!"

"Let's see if Manchester United can capitalize on Rashford!"

"They went straight into the penalty area; that was a very smart choice!"

Rashford tried to create a one-on-one opportunity using his speed, but the PSG defenders quickly retreated.

However, Rashford's one-on-one dream was thwarted by Kimpembe's deep marking.

We entered the restricted area.

With Kimpembe right there, Rashford had to be extremely careful with every choice he made.

Feint first!
Rashford wanted to distance himself from Kimpembe, and he succeeded.

But Kimpembe quickly caught up, and during the confrontation, Kimpembe stepped on Rashford's foot.

"Hey, what's this?!"

"Rashford has gone down in the penalty area!"

"That could very well be a penalty."

Beep beep beep! ! !

Manchester United fans were blowing a fake whistle, and the referee quickly ran over.

"Penalty! It's a penalty!"

Ale was still shouting, and the referee made the right choice.

"Beep!!!"

"It's a penalty!"

"Penalty for Man United!"

Dongqiudi live match report: Rashford broke into the penalty area and was fouled, Manchester United were awarded a penalty.

"Hey, I didn't bother him!"

Kimpembe shrugged at the referee.

Giving up a penalty at this point was unacceptable for Paris, so even though he knew he had made a mistake, Jin Pengbei still argued with the referee.

Manchester United players simply ignored it; the referee couldn't change his mind about such an obvious foul.

Allais pulled Rashford up from the ground.

"Tom"

Rashford shrugged at Tang Ye: "You still have to score in the end."

Rashford meant that although his shot didn't go in, he still won a penalty and gave Manchester United a goal.

As for why it's called a goal rather than a goal-scoring opportunity.

Because Rashford was certain that Tom wouldn't slip up at this point!

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye clenched his right fist and slammed it hard into Rashford's chest: "Watch this!"

Manchester United have a penalty opportunity!
Tang Ye was juggling the ball inside the penalty area, facing a serious-looking Buffon.

"Huh, huhu..."

You purchased Tangye's chewing gum.

He squinted and stared directly at Buffon in front of him.

Tang Ye is ready!
"Beep!!"

"approach……"

"Break the door!"

"The ball went in!!!"

"The ball went in!!"

"Tang Ye!!!"

Tang Ye chose the bottom right corner, and although Buffon guessed the right direction, he still couldn't save the ball.

“GOOO—AAAA—LLLLL!!!!”

"Tang Ye!"

"1-0! Manchester United take the lead!"

After taking the penalty, Tang Ye quickly found Rashford outside the penalty area.

He put his hand on Rashford's shoulder, and the two of them ran together down the ledge.

"United!"

"United!"

Dongqiudi live match report: Rashford won a penalty, Tang Ye scored with a precise shot, Manchester United lead 1-0.

"Roar!!!"

[Mission Progress: Penalty Kick (1/3) / Goal (1/8)]

Manchester United players are celebrating on the field, with Mbappe and Neymar standing together.

Neymar shrugged, looking somewhat dejected: "I told you, it was a one-on-one chance if I wasn't careful. Why couldn't I pay attention?"

Before the match, Neymar emphasized to his teammates that they must be careful in the backfield.

In the end, he was still hacked from behind.

Manchester United's goal wiped out the advantage that Paris had built up in the first 30 minutes.

"Beautiful Tom!"

Valencia kept rubbing Tang Ye's hair with her hands.

Tang Ye hasn't cut his hair recently, and his somewhat long hair has been messed up by his teammates.

"come on! Come on!"

The feeling is already there.

Then everything will be easier to handle. Ten Hag emphasized the importance of defending the flanks to the players.

"Their attacking line is key!"

The first half continues!
"I feel that if you compare Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain, their abilities are actually quite similar."

Manchester United's strength lies in their midfield, while Paris Saint-Germain's strength is their three forwards.

"The two teams have different strengths, but their overall strength is about the same."

Zhan Jun said a lot.

In summary, the two sides have different tactics, but their strengths are similar.

Matches in these situations are generally quite exciting.

And that was certainly the case in today's match!

"I think what Paris needs to do now is to utilize Mbappe and Neymar, and through them, coordinate with Cavani..."

"Neymar has the ball!"

He immediately got the ball, and then Rodri came up to him.

boom!
The two men collided, and the Brazilian striker fell to the ground.

"what!!!!"

It didn't seem like a serious collision, but Neymar on the ground looked like he was in a lot of pain, as if Rodri had broken his bones.

Rodri reached out to help Neymar up, but Neymar just rolled around with his knees in his arms.

"Go away!"

The Paris Saint-Germain players came up and pushed Rodri away.

Hey!

Rhodes had intended to help the person, but instead he was treated this way. The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, so he went up and stood there in a stalemate with Cavani.

"Hey, forget it!"

Tang Ye pulled Rodri back and then pushed Cavani away.

The two had just started fighting, and Cavani was naturally unwilling to let it go, so he wanted to come up and cause more trouble.

"Kyrian, Kyrian!"

Just then, Mbappe arrived, and Tang Ye quickly gestured for Mbappe to pull Cavani away.

After some minor clashes, the conflict between the two teams was temporarily resolved.

But Neymar remained on the ground, unable to get up!
"This……"

The situation was getting out of hand, and the director quickly showed a replay.

After Neymar received the ball, he wanted to make a breakthrough, but Rodri came up to him.

In the first instant, Midfield managed to shake off Rodri, but Rodri reacted quickly and immediately closed in after being shaken off.

In the live stream footage, Rodri and Neymar's knees collided.

That's the problem!

"A knee injury, that could be bad."

The Paris team doctor has already entered the field, and Tuchel's expression shows obvious tension.

While Neymar was receiving treatment, Ten Hag called the Manchester United players aside.

While the players were hydrating, they discussed their upcoming tactics.

"Are you alright, Rhodes?"

Tang Ye stared at Rodri's knees.

Tang Ye saw it very clearly when Rodri and Neymar collided.

It may not seem like a big impact, but because it involves a critical area like the knee, it can easily cause injury.

"It hurts a little, but I feel okay."

Tang Ye nodded slightly, then turned to look behind him.

Neymar is lying on the grass at the far end, receiving treatment from the team doctor.

My younger brother, Rod, is in pretty good shape.

But Neymar, his teammate, doesn't seem to be in such good form.

Dongqiudi Live Match Report: Neymar and Rodri collide; Neymar suffers knee injury and cannot continue the game.

……

What happened? Neymar is gone?

[Damn, Rhodes really went all out that time. Is Rhodes unharmed?]

Horses!!!

【Rodri, what are you doing! My horse!】

I thought it was an act, but it turns out it was for real.

Neymar's injury and subsequent substitution sparked a heated discussion among fans.

Based on experience, Neymar is usually out of action for at least a few months once he gets injured.

Rhodes has become a sinner!

The team doctor helped Neymar off the field, and Tang Ye ran over to apologize on Rodri's behalf.

The game continues!

After Neymar left the field, the stands became lively.

Professional sports are brutal, and player injuries are a terrible thing, but for Manchester United fans who want to win, Neymar's injury gives them even greater hope.

Manchester United are now leading by one goal. If they can maintain their advantage, they will take the victory in this game!

"Here here!"

He reached out to his teammate for the ball, and Smalling delivered a low, long pass.

Possession was precisely given to Tang Ye!

Without any hesitation, Tang Ye got the ball, made a move to get past his marker, and then passed the ball to De Jong next to him.

"You come!"

Tang Ye helped block the defender's position, then signaled to De Jong to dribble forward.

Despite being valued at less than 5000 million euros, De Jong's ability to drive the ball is top-tier even in the top five European leagues.

He was very fast, dribbling the ball past the center circle and then continuing to press forward!

Pass the ball to Tang Ye!
Facing the Paris goal, Tang Ye flicked the ball with his heel.

boom!
The ball came to Rodri's feet.

boom!
A through ball to Rashford up front!

After taking a 1-0 lead, Manchester United seemed poised to overwhelm Paris Saint-Germain.

Let's see if we can seize the opportunity to extend the score to 2-0 before the end of the first half!

The bottom edge turns inward!
Look to Rashford!
He wanted to rush into the penalty area again to find a penalty, but unfortunately Rashford was intercepted by Silva.

boom!
Manchester United's attack was brought to an end!
"..."

Dongqiudi Halftime Report: Manchester United leads Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 at halftime. Tang Ye opened the scoring with a penalty. Neymar was forced off injured.

"come on!"

"Come on Manchester United!"

Shouts from the fans came from the stands as the players slowly walked toward the tunnel.

Rodri is feeling down because of Neymar's situation, keeping his head down and not saying a word.

"Rhodes"

Tang Ye placed his hand on Rodri's shoulder and squeezed the latter's neck hard.

"There's nothing we can do, it won't be a big problem."

Tang Ye thought Rodri was under psychological pressure, which stemmed from the guilt he felt for causing Neymar's injury.

In reality, what Rodri was more worried about than feeling guilty was the pressure from public opinion.

Clearly, not everyone can think from the opponent's perspective like Tang Ye!

"We'll talk about it later, Rhodes."

Van der Gach also came over and said a few words to Rodri: "Focus on the game first. Whatever you're thinking about, leave it until after the game."

"Um"

Rodri nodded slightly, and Tang Ye pushed him toward the locker room.

……

"Junior is injured, so we must be in better form in the second half. We were already behind in the first half, and we absolutely cannot give the opponent another chance in the second half!"

The away team's locker room.

It's clear that Tuchel is in a bad mood right now.

Neymar sat in the corner, with his doctor beside him.

"I said it before the game started: we had to focus on Tom, otherwise we were very likely to concede a goal. But you guys just didn't keep Tom on your toes."

"When he has the ball, you guys should go up and interfere."

Neymar shrugged, said a few words to a few of his teammates, then fell silent and sat down in a corner. The car that was supposed to pick him up would be arriving soon.

The Brazilian will leave the stadium early to receive treatment due to a knee injury.

Neymar has calmed down, and the result of this game is no longer that important to him.

Boom boom boom!
Mbappe stomped his foot in his position, just as Tuchel mentioned his name.

"We need to make good use of Kylian's explosiveness; the left flank will be our main attacking route in the second half. Manchester United will definitely focus on marking our left flank in the second half."

Tuchel is thinking from Manchester United's perspective.

"But we have no choice but to attack down the left flank, even if they defend against it."

Paris Saint-Germain players all turned their attention to Mbappe.

Mbappe didn't look too good, but his overall demeanor remained relatively calm.

He is, after all, a player who has experienced the World Cup final!
dong dong!

Tuchel tapped the tactical board and explained the core tactics for the second half.

"Attack down the left flank, but maintain a solid defense. Our goal for today's match is a draw."

A draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford is the goal Tuchel has set for the PSG players.

Of course, this is not easy to achieve, so the Paris players must bring out their best form.

"3, 2, 1!"

"Paris!"

……

"Alright, everyone, welcome back. This is the second half of the Champions League quarter-final between Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United."

“The game begins!”

Although their star striker Neymar was injured and forced to leave the field, Paris Saint-Germain did not change their overall tactical formation.

We're going to fight Manchester United to the death using a 4-3-3 formation!
52th minute!

Rodri made a mistake in the backcourt!
Marquinhos gets the ball!

I rely on!

Realizing something was wrong, Tang Ye quickly retreated with his teammates.

Marquinhos dribbled the ball forward for a distance.

Because Rodri had already been shaken off, Marquinhos faced almost no interference as he advanced.

After about 10 meters, Marquinhos passed the ball forward.

Give it to Cavani!
With his back to Smalling, Cavani passed the ball back to his teammate.

Marquinhos passes the ball to Mbappe!
The French winger's cut inside forced Manchester United's defense to begin retreating.

Return!

boom!
Marquinhos once again played a through ball.

Mbappe still had the ball, and at this point, he had completed the transition from cutting inside to the byline.

And they've already entered the restricted area!

Mbappe and Smalling face off one-on-one.

Step on the ball with your right foot and pull it towards the baseline.

As he moved through the Smalling center, Mbappe flicked the ball with the outside of his right foot.

The bottom edge transforms into an inward cut again!
Mbappe's greatest strength is his incredible acceleration, which has indeed created opportunities for him.

Smalling was shaken off!
Mbappe adjusted his position by half a step, swinging his right leg out and looking towards the top right corner of the goal.

Snapped!
Mbappe's shot, but not towards the upper right, but rather...

Bottom left!
It was a classic long-range shot that found its way into the net, with De Gea standing on the goal line without making a save.

The ball went in!
A goal from Kylian Mbappé.

Paris Saint-Germain have successfully equalized the score!
"Ohhh!!!"

"Beep beep beep beep beep beep!!!"

Amid angry shouts from Manchester United fans, Mbappe slid down to his knees and charged toward the corner flag.

"Fuck you!"

"Fuck off!"

"stupid guy!"

Ignoring the jeers from Manchester United fans, Mbappe put his hands under his arms and made his most classic celebration move.

hiss……

The teamwork was excellent, but it was Mbappe's individual ability that really mattered.

To be honest, the Manchester United players never expected Paris to execute this attack.

"My God!"

"It was an incredibly exaggerated individual performance, but the teamwork between the Paris players was also quite good."

"Yes, but I think this goal mainly relied on Mbappe's individual ability, because we didn't expect Mbappe to be able to break into the penalty area and finish the shot under such circumstances..."

Dongqiudi live match report: Mbappe's long-range shot into the near corner scores, Paris equalizes the score.

"Well……"

Rodri covered his lips with his hands.

Because of that misplaced pass, the Spanish defensive midfielder has now become a criminal.

Tang Ye and Rashford ran over to comfort their teammate, while Ten Hag and Van der Gaghe on the bench gave a detailed analysis of the situation.

"We might have to substitute Rhodes."

"Van der Gach said softly."

Rodri was affected by the situation in the first half, and the Manchester United defensive midfielder is no longer able to perform at his best.

While Van der Gach was speaking, Ten Hach glanced at McTominay, who was warming up in front.

After careful consideration, I ultimately decided to give up.

Let's see what happens next!
