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

Chapter 536: 34 rounds, 91 points, still leading the league, but the crucial Champions League match is approaching.
boom!
Ale leaped high and headed the ball back to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye!

Snapped!
Reacting quickly, Tang Ye seized the opportunity and immediately took a shot.

But the ball was blocked by the defender!
It seems that West Ham United has resolved this crisis, but in reality, their crisis is not over yet.

Tang Ye's shot was just blocked when the referee blew his whistle.

"Manchester United penalty!"

"It's obvious that Tang Ye's shot hit Zabaleta's hand!"

"That's a penalty!"

With West Ham United leading 1-0, they were awarded a penalty, and West Ham players immediately surrounded the referee.

Tang Ye and Rice got tangled up together, and in the end Tang Ye pushed Rice down.

Beep!
The referee blew his whistle again, this time for Tang Ye's yellow card.

He pushed me first!

The two got into a conflict, and in the end, Tang Ye was the only one who got to take the card, which Tang Ye was naturally unhappy about.

Pointing at Rice, he said, "Could you please watch the replay? Watch the replay."

He pressed one hand against the earpiece, listened to feedback from the backstage, and then gave Rice another yellow card.

Tang Ye then stopped and began preparing for the next penalty kick.

Trailing 0-1, the team's overall morale was low, making this penalty opportunity extremely important for Manchester United.

As Tang Ye carried the ball toward the penalty area, he glanced specifically at the stands.

Rashford is sitting in the stands and will be watching all of Manchester United's remaining games this season, a promise he made to his teammates.

Tang Ye gave Rashford a thumbs-up and then placed the ball on the penalty spot.

He's ready!
"Tang Ye...take a run-up and shoot!"

"The ball is in!"

"GOOOO-AAAAAA-LLLLL!!!"

Goalkeeper Fabianski guessed the wrong direction.

Manchester United have successfully equalized!
You have gained 15 comeback points.

[Mission Progress: Penalty Kick (2/3) / Goal (3/8)]

"Wow!"

Tang Ye jumped up and threw an uppercut at the stands.

Rodri ran over to try and pull Tang Ye back, but the latter had already anticipated this.

"Get the ball! Get the ball!"

Tang Ye signaled to Ale to retrieve the ball from the goal, and then led his teammates to quickly retreat.

Just like Ashley Young said not long ago, Manchester United must win this game no matter what.

Otherwise, all their previous efforts will be in vain!
"Unity! Man United!"

The fans in the stands were shouting, and time was slowly ticking down to the 70th minute of the second half.

West Ham United scored a goal in the 65th minute, but that goal was ultimately disallowed by the referee.

Now is Manchester United's chance.

Mata receives the ball on the right wing and cuts inside!

"Come!"

Tang Ye stopped to prepare to assist Mata, but was spotted by Lanzini.

Mata didn't pass the ball immediately; instead, he controlled it by stepping on it himself.

Tang Ye seized the opportunity and moved laterally to get rid of Lanzini.

That's it!
Mata passed the ball back to Mata.

Tang Ye, without stopping the ball, directly hit it towards the left baseline.

Ashley Young has the ball now!

"Ashley Young, it's time for a cross!"

"Look at the quality of Ashley Young's cross!"

The cross from the byline found Valencia, who had made a run down the right flank, at the far post.

This was a well-executed combination between Manchester United's two full-backs.

Valencia to McTominay.

boom!
McTominay took a long-range shot, but it was pushed away by the goalkeeper.

boom!
Rodri and Noble collided, and Rodri eventually got the ball.

"Come!"

Tang Ye reached out and took the ball from Rodri's hands.

With his back to the goal, he forcefully knocked the ball into the penalty area with his heel.

A very sudden pass, and Tang Ye also managed to penetrate the center-back's defense.

Alai!

Snapped!
A shot was taken, and in the 73rd minute, Manchester United extended their lead to 2-1.

"Woww!!!!"

After the ball was scored, Manchester United finally began their celebration.

"Seba!!!"

Tang Ye jumped onto Alai.

Damn, today's game was really tough!

In an interview with Pellegrini, he said: "We were so close to winning this game, but Manchester United showed the resilience that a top team would have."

"Nice!"

The Manchester United players appeared somewhat agitated in the locker room.

Manchester United didn't have this kind of mentality when they beat West Ham United before, but today's victory was really hard-won.

"I feel it's become harder for us to score, but we can still score because their defense isn't very good."

Tang Ye and his teammates analyzed the situation: "We can score three goals today."

"Ha ha!"

Ashley Young stood up and gave Tang Ye a hug.

"It's okay, we still won in the end anyway."

Ashley Young pointed to the locker room door: "The fans thought we would lose, the reporters thought we would lose, but we still won in the end, that's the final result. Eric was right, if everyone had played a little better, we could have made up for the gap Marcus left."

"From today onwards, I don't want to hear any more comments saying we will lose."

Ashley Young stood in the middle, taking on the responsibility he had taken on as captain last season.

"If any of you say anything that we'll lose, I won't hold back."

"Wow!"

Ashley Young made a harsh statement, and Tang Ye raised both hands.

The importance of this match for Manchester United cannot be overstated.

It can be said that Manchester United regained all the confidence they had lost in one game.

"Okay, okay, we did a great job, everything was excellent."

Unlike in the past, Ten Hag did not immediately conduct a tactical review with the players after today's match.

"Although there are some obvious problems in our attacking line, as you have seen, we are capable of winning every game."

Boom!
Ten Hag slammed his hand on the tactics board, pointing at Manchester City above Manchester United.

"91 points. After this game, we'll have 91 points. There are four league games left, and you all know what we need to do now."

……

The Mirror – Manchester United secured a 2-1 comeback victory against West Ham United, successfully defending their league position with 91 points from 34 rounds.

Attached is the 2018-19 Premier League standings (as of the end of Round 34):

1. Manchester United, 91 points.

2. Manchester City, 88 points.

3. Liverpool, 87 points.

4. Chelsea, 65 points.

5. Tottenham, 63 points. Manchester Evening News – After assisting Haller's goal against West Ham United, the TY league assist total officially surpassed the 30 mark.

"In addition to his 30 assists, TY has also scored 15 goals in the Premier League this season. Even if TY doesn't have any statistics in the next 4 league games, he will still win the Premier League Player of the Season award."

"However, according to the Manchester Evening News reporter, TY's goal tally may increase further in the upcoming matches, as Rashford's absence will lead to a rise in the player's role in the team's attacking system."

The Manchester Evening Post published its views on Manchester United's future in its latest issue.

It was initially thought that Manchester United would be in trouble after Rashford's injury. But now it seems that despite the injury to their key winger, Manchester United still possesses considerable attacking capabilities.

Of course, Manchester United's current attacking line can no longer compare with teams like Manchester City and Liverpool.

Reporters and commentators have pointed Manchester United in one direction: shifting their attacking focus.

Manchester United need to shift the attacking pressure off Rashford to the three midfielders: Tang Ye, Rodri, and De Jong.

The forwards can't play attacking, so they let the midfielders do it. It sounds absurd, but in fact, this is the only option Manchester United has.

……

The Times reporter: If Manchester United fail in the league and Champions League this season, TY may seek to leave the team.

The Times reporter's comments quickly became a trending topic.

However, this was not said by Tang Ye or his agent, but rather something the reporter imagined.

Despite this, the news still garnered a lot of attention.

From Tang Ye's perspective, what the Times reporter said seems to be true.

Whether it's the forwards, full-backs, or center-backs, Manchester United has too many weaknesses and cannot provide enough support for Tang Ye.

RAC: TY cannot leave Manchester United because Ten Hag will definitely persuade the player to stay.

Rumors about Tang Ye's transfer had been brewing for a while, and by mid-April, they finally exploded.

Tang Ye opened Dongqiudi, and after the advertisement, he was taken to the app's homepage.

[A £2 million midfielder leaves? Why is Manchester United struggling to build a strong attacking line?]

[Was Tang Ye's departure due to teammates being too weak? A brief analysis of the reasons for his departure.]

【…】

Barcelona may join the race to sign Tang Ye.

Of the six news items on the homepage, five are related to player transfers.

It certainly looked impressive, but to be honest, Tang Ye didn't enjoy that feeling.

He didn't say a word, but the reporters and fans had already paved the way for him.

Many fans were almost certain that Manchester United would lose the Manchester derby and subsequently lose the Premier League title.

This made Tang Ye very angry.

In his view, he and his teammates have regained their form, and beating Manchester City is not entirely impossible.

……

With the second leg of the Champions League match approaching, Manchester United players arrived in France a day early.

Click, click, click!

As soon as the players got off the bus, fans and reporters near the hotel started taking pictures of them.

Today's match is a do-or-die Champions League game for Manchester United, and it's no surprise that it's attracting a lot of attention from fans.

Do you think your team has been worn down by the packed schedule?

The reporter held the microphone to Ten Hah's mouth, but Ten Hah simply raised his right hand to block the microphone.

He was unwilling to answer the question.

"Tom! Tom, look at me!"

"We're down by one goal now, and we're playing away. Will you give up on tomorrow's game?"

"Uh...no way."

Tang Ye paused to briefly speak with the fans: "We're down by one goal, not three. Being down by one goal still gives us a chance to come back. Besides, this is the Champions League knockout stage; we can't give up on the knockout rounds."

"And what about the next game against Manchester City?"

"Hmm, I feel..."

Tang Ye wanted to share his thoughts on the match, but Rodri came up from behind and pushed him toward the hotel.

The current situation is too sensitive for topics related to the Champions League and the league, so Rodri suggested that Tang Ye should refrain from saying too much for now.

……

"China Media Group! This is a live broadcast for you..."

The second leg of the match officially kicked off at the Parc des Princes.

Compared to the first four rounds, both sides have made significant changes.

Playing at home, Paris Saint-Germain opted for a 4-4-1-1 formation, with Mbappe, who usually plays as a winger, playing directly as a center forward.

Then, for Manchester United, with Rashford absent, Ten Hag employed a 4-3-3 formation.

"The formations on both sides have changed quite a bit..."

The commentator exclaimed that the pressure on both sides of the stadium and in front of the television was exaggerated.

With significant changes in formation and starting players, the uncertainty of this match is quite high.

"..."

The Paris team anthem played in the stadium. At the beginning of the match, both sides played relatively steadily, and there were hardly any shots on goal until the 20th minute.

At this point, Ashley Young and Marquinhos clashed, and the player's conflict quickly escalated into a team conflict.

Ashley Young and Marquinhos were each shown a yellow card.

The conflict seemed to have ended after two yellow cards, but this became an opportunity for both sides to speed up their offensive pace.

"Di Maria, receive Verratti's pass!"

"Beautiful! Verratti's pass was spot on!"

"Di Maria is dribbling forward himself; now it's Valencia's turn to take over!"

"Wow!"

To avoid Valencia, Di Maria flicked the ball, turned, and cut inside from the byline.

Just as Valencia moved closer to Di Maria, Bernat stepped forward from the sideline.

Snapped!
Di Maria passes the ball.

Bernat!

Snapped!
A cross from the byline found Mbappe perfectly in the penalty area.

"Ohh!!!"

Paris fans stood up, but Mbappe kicked the ball directly into the stands.

"what!!"

Mbappe clutched his head, clearly upset about wasting such a good opportunity.

"Fuck!"

De Gea immediately started yelling, signaling to the defenders in the penalty area to focus.

Dongqiudi live match report: In the 29th minute, Mbappe cut inside into the penalty area and then fired a shot that went wide.

Mbappe's form isn't good either.

[Two people with a combined investment of 2 million euros are feeding each other, huh?]

[Then stop your unwarranted criticism. At least GGBond controlled the tempo. Just tell me, didn't Manchester United attack more than PSG?]

Why isn't Mbappe being substituted? Tuchel, what are you doing, using Cavani as a center forward?

【Don't change it! Don't change it! Absolutely don't change it!】

The second leg match between Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United kicked off at 4 a.m. China time, but it was the highest-rated match on CCTV-5 in April.

After all, this is the second round, and losing means elimination!
In the 34th minute, after some consideration, Ten Hag made a controversial decision: to replace Mata with Greenwood.

"Hmm... Ten Hag probably felt that Manchester United's right flank lacked attacking power, so he needed to use the faster Greenwood."

"Yes, after all, Manchester United are currently trailing, and Paris Saint-Germain have three away goals."

"Come!"

Tang Ye received the inverted triangle from Greenwood and then unleashed a long-range shot.

boom!
The long-range shot was powerful, but Buffon saved it from the very last moment.
