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

Chapter 539, Section 11: The Manchester Derby – A Direct Decisive Factor in the League's Victory
"GOOO-AAAA-LLLLL!!!"

"Tang Ye!"

"Goal! Tang Ye!"

"1:0!"

现在是上半场的第27分钟，大屏幕上比分由0:0变为1:0。

Manchester United are in the lead!
"Beautiful Tang Ye!"

[Mission Progress: Penalty Kick (2/3) / Goal (5/8)]

"Roar!!!"

Immediately after scoring, Tang Ye rushed towards the stands below.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Tang Ye even forgot to slide to his knees and jumped up, letting out a roar towards the stands.

"Tom!!!"

He heard his teammates' voices behind him, and Tang Ye was quickly surrounded by them.

"Tom!"

"Hooray for Tom!"

Alai hugged Tang Ye's head and then gave him a hard kiss on the top of his head.

Rodri did the same thing, giving Tang Ye a whack on the head.

"Holy crap, haha!"

Tang Ye bumped into Alai with his chest.

"Tom!"

"viva TomTom!"

The chant of "Long Live Tom!" echoed throughout Old Trafford, with Tom's name resounding throughout the 7-seat stadium.

"Don't go!"

"Don't leave Manchester United!"

The fans were very excited after the goal, but some fans also seized on other key points, suggesting that Tang Ye should not leave the team.

"Wow!"

Too excited to listen to what the fans were saying, Tang Ye went down to the stands and bumped into the fan closest to him.

The celebration had just ended when the director showed a replay of the goal.

"Hmm...heel tap the ball."

"That's quite imaginative. You really can't blame Laporte and Ederson; if they hadn't been marking them in advance, they wouldn't have been able to react."

It's true that the defenders and goalkeeper can't be blamed; off the field, Guardiola is pointing the finger at Manchester City's full-backs and defensive midfielders.

"Fuck!"

"Are you just going to let them pass the ball so easily? Go up there!"

Guardiola's gesture, although no one can understand what it means.

"Don't try to take it piecemeal, just go straight for it! This approach won't work!"

Manchester City's plan is to crush Manchester United in today's match.

If possible, we need to get an even bigger goal difference to punish Manchester United in this match and jump straight to the top of the standings.

But the current situation...

Manchester City has become the one being sanctioned!

"Haha, wow!"

"come on! Come on!"

Manchester United players high-five each other.

Tang Ye's goal certainly boosted the morale of the Manchester United players to a great extent.

"It's not over yet!"

Valencia reminded his players on the field: "Just play it safe, just play it safe!"

Dongqiudi live match report: In the 32nd minute, Aguero took a shot in the penalty area, but De Gea made the save.

Manchester United players showed great resilience when they were leading.

Tang Ye's position was also pushed back, in order to create a better defensive setup.

36th minute!

This was 10 minutes after Tang Ye scored.

Manchester City players successfully increased their possession to 75% through a series of passes and possession.

This ball possession statistic is quite terrifying.

Manchester City's attacking line is already strong, and with this level of possession, you can imagine the pressure that Manchester United players and fans are facing right now.

"I come!"

Manchester City won a corner kick, but Tang Ye cleared it directly with one foot.

The ball was played into Manchester City's own half.

Edson came up.

Snapped!
A long pass directly to the right baseline.

Give it to Silva!
The ball was fast, but for a top player like Silva, handling it wasn't a problem.

Stop the ball at your feet!

Pass it back to Gondoğan!
Gundogan passes to Fernandinho in the middle!

Just as Gundogan passed the ball, Tang Ye came from the middle and made a sliding tackle.

!

Fernandinho was startled.

Fortunately, Gundogan's pass was fast enough that Tang Ye, who was on the ground, was unable to intercept it.

Take a moment to adjust after receiving the ball.

Snapped!
To Sterling!

"Get up!"

Ten Hag signaled for Valencia to press forward.

Valencia did as instructed, but Sterling's approach was still superior.

Snapped!
Sterling nutmegged Valencia with a poker pass, his hands flailing like a duck as he successfully got behind Valencia.

Wow!!!

The fans shouted it out loud.

The flanks were breached again.

The pressure is building!

Sterling used a lot of subtle tricks, twisting and turning to force Bailey to keep retreating.

Pass it back to Fernandinho!

Fernandinho had barely gotten the ball when Tang Ye immediately spotted him.

Because of Tang Ye's interference, Fernandinho's through ball wasn't particularly accurate.

But Sterling’s excellent acceleration made up for it.

Hold onto the ball!
Sterling enters the penalty area!
As Bailly adjusted his center of gravity to move with Sterling, Sterling suddenly dribbled to adjust his position.

Inside cut and bottom turn!
!

When Sterling came to his side, Bailey put his hand on Sterling's shoulder.

Bailly's intention was to prevent Sterling from taking a shot immediately, but he didn't expect that Sterling would fall to the ground as soon as he put his hand on him.

!!!

"Oh!!!"

"Diving!"

"He's faking it!"

Manchester United fans shouted, and at the same time, Manchester City players on the field also approached the referee.

"Penalty!"

"Penalty kick!"

hiss--

Those in the Manchester City camp thought it was a penalty, while those in the Manchester United camp thought it was a dive.

Not only at the scene, but also in the comments section, people started arguing.

"Let's take a look... Hmm... This ball does seem a bit difficult to judge."

"Bailly didn't seem to be using much force, but his arm was clearly interfering with Sterling's movements."

The camera pans to the referee, who blows the whistle after listening to advice from the backstage staff.

Beep! ! !
Draw a square with both hands.

VAR intervention has been requested!
The referee ran towards the VAR equipment outside the court.

Because everyone had seen this thing during the World Cup, it wasn't unfamiliar to them.

Now we'll see how the referee rules after VAR intervention.

Is this a possible penalty opportunity?

Tang Ye and Ashley Yang stood together, chewing their gum vigorously: "...I feel like they should be sentenced."

"Ok?"

Tang Ye's words made Ashley Young's eyes widen, because in Ashley Young's opinion, this shouldn't be a penalty.

But his teammates' words were so convincing that Ashley Young is now completely panicked.

After sitting in front of the screen for almost a minute, the referee ran back onto the field and once again pointed to the familiar square.

"Beep!!!"

Finger size 12.

"Penalty!"

"It's a penalty for Manchester City!"

"Oh my gosh!"

fuck!

The Manchester United players on the field were naturally dissatisfied and wanted to complain, but they were all eventually kicked off by the referee.

Dongqiudi live match report: Sterling goes down in the penalty area, Manchester City are awarded a penalty.

"..."

With his hands on his hips, Tang Ye watched as Aguero carried the ball into the penalty area.

Don't go in, don't go in... We finally got the lead, if Aguero scores a penalty, all our efforts will be for nothing.

"Beep!!"

Aguero, take a running start...

Break down the door!!!

The ball went in!!!
"Aguero scores from the penalty spot!"

"The score is now 1-1!"

……

Dongqiudi Halftime Report: Tang Ye scores with a backheel shot, Aguero scores a penalty, Manchester United and Manchester City are tied 1-1 at halftime.

Is this penalty kick for real?

[If this penalty wasn't taken seriously, then what was? He clearly interfered with Sterling. If Bailly hadn't reached for it, wouldn't Sterling have shot directly?]

Come on, Manchester United!

[This Manchester City team is really something else, sir. Do they only score from penalties?]

[Stay calm, a draw is fine too]

Giving the other side a penalty kick is really tough.

The good news is that Manchester United are now three points ahead in the standings.

Even a draw with Manchester City would be a very good result.

If Manchester United maintains a three-point lead over Manchester City, they only need to continue their winning streak to secure the league title.

Then the problem is coming.

How can Manchester United withstand the onslaught from Manchester City in the second half?
"That penalty kick was a total slap on the wrist, it was made up, okay?"

Ten Hag is still angry about that penalty kick.

“That wasn’t a penalty, believe me. So we were actually the dominant side in the first half. Why were Manchester City able to score? Because the referee was biased towards them, which was unfair to us!”

Ten Hach's eyes turned red.

Just over ten minutes ago, he had been shown a yellow card by the referee because of that penalty kick.

Because he insulted the fourth official.

"The score is 1-1 right now, but I need you to maintain the mindset of being up 1-0."

滕哈赫左手比“1”右手比“0”：“用1:0的心态也就是领先的心态去踢接下来的比赛，那么我们才能在下半场45分钟里有好的表现”

"..."

"come on! Come on!"

……

The second half has begun!

After 15 minutes of brainwashing by Ten Hag, the Manchester United players are now in top form.

Unlike the fierce-looking Manchester United players, the Manchester City players all looked serious and under a lot of pressure.

While Ten Hag was encouraging the Manchester United players, the Manchester City players were subjected to a thorough dressing-down by Guardiola.

Both are bald, but their philosophies are completely different.

"Champion!"

"champion!"

"United champion!"

"Just hold the line!"

Manchester United fans were shouting in the stands, and the two commentators on CCTV were doing the same.

"Actually, Manchester United's goal right now is quite simple: just hold on."

"Yes, because they are currently leading the standings. If they can draw with Manchester City in this match, it will be very difficult for Manchester City to overtake Manchester United."

"However, it's all relative. If Manchester City can win..."

The commentator stopped there, because this was a result that most Tangye fans did not want to see.

In this situation, if Manchester City can win this game, their chances of winning the league title will double!
59nd minute of the second half!

Sterling advanced with the ball and passed it to Fernandinho.

Then Fernandinho will pass the ball to the right wing!
Bernardo Silva has the ball now!
He dribbled the ball forward a certain distance.

Give it to the middle lane.

Aguero!
Manchester City fans chanted Aguero's name, then shouted for a shot.

The fans were anxious, but Aguero himself was even more anxious.

boom!
He unleashed a long-range shot.

"Oh!"

De Gea made the save.

"Beautiful! De Gea!"

"What an incredible save!"

wow！

Tang Ye made a special trip back to give De Gea a high five.

Manchester United's goalkeeper was in an exceptionally good form in this match, much better than Ederson.

This will be the key to Manchester United winning the game today!
Ten Hag was standing on the sidelines when Manchester City took the corner kick.

He hadn't sat down in a long time.

At this moment, Ten Hag was under immense pressure, which was readily apparent.

"Come on..."

Snapped!
The corner kick is taken!

boom!
Haller headed the ball away, and it was passed to Tang Ye at the second spot.

"I'll come, I'll come!"

Tang Ye gestured for De Jong to move aside and quickly ran over.

Control the ball with the chest.

Let's add another barb!

Tang Ye passed the ball directly to De Jong behind him!
De Jong dribbles forward!

"..."

"Rodri!"

boom!
Rodri headed the ball, but it went over the crossbar.

"That's a pity."

"However, this should be good news for Manchester United. It's already the 77th minute of the second half, and if they can maintain the score, they can secure their first place."

It does look like good news.

But bad news soon followed for Manchester United.

The camera pans to Tang Ye, the Manchester United midfielder, who quickly runs to the sidelines.

He then knelt on the grass.

Yue!

In front of more than 7 people, Tang Ye vomited up his dinner.

"Well……"

"Tang Ye seems to be reaching his limit."

"That's right. The weather was quite muggy today, and as we can see from today's match, Tang Ye played both the attacking midfielder and shadow striker positions, so you could say his workload was much heavier compared to other players."

Manchester United and Manchester City were tied 1-1 in the first half, with Manchester United also scoring their only goal from open play so far.

Rashford's absence did not affect Manchester United's attack.

No, it's not like that.

The reason why the impact is not immediately apparent is that Tang Ye would occasionally go up to play as a striker for a period of time.

Manchester United did maintain their attacking intensity, but they also had to pay a price for it.

What was given away was Tang Ye's dinner!
GGBond is starting to feel the strain!

The referee signaled for the team doctor to enter the field, and Manchester United's medical staff, including Ten Hag, immediately surrounded him.

"Come!"

The staff handed water to Tang Ye, gesturing for him to rinse his mouth quickly.

Ten Hajj knelt beside Tang Ye: "Can you still kick? If you can't, just tell me, I need the truth."

"No problem, cough cough"

Tang Ye rinsed his mouth and spat out all the mineral water he was holding.

After several attempts, the staff handed Tang Ye an electrolyte drink.

"Just drink 50ml, don't drink more."

As the team doctor spoke, he applied ointment to Tang Ye's temples.

The temperature in Manchester wasn't actually that high today, but the rain hadn't come, leaving the whole city in a muggy state.

This dealt Tang Ye a critical blow.

"The situation isn't very good."

"But Manchester United didn't let Tang Ye leave the pitch immediately, which seems to indicate they want him to continue playing."

"Yes, that's right. Although we say Tang Ye's defensive ability isn't strong, if Tang Ye isn't there to suppress the opponent, then the opponent's attack will give Manchester United a real headache..."

The camera focused again, showing the team doctor and Ten Hag helping Tang Ye up from the ground.

The game restarted, and Tang Ye went to the sidelines to wait to re-enter the field.

During this time, Ten Hach kept emphasizing something in his ear.

"If you sense something's wrong, just give me a hand signal. We still have one substitution slot available."

Tang Ye shook his head.

"I said we'd go all out against Manchester City."

"It was my decision, so we absolutely must win."

"..."

Ten Hah removed his hand from Tang Ye's shoulder.

He didn't say anything more.
