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

Chapter 542 The final stage of the road to revival: Manchester United's championship momentum is unstoppable?
[We've won the championship ahead of schedule, brothers!]

We are the champions!

[Wait... the game isn't even over yet, why are you popping champagne?]

Manchester United is awesome!

[Given this situation, they're still selling Tangye? I'll give the Glazer family a huge piece of my mind right from the start.]

"United United!"

"We love united, we do!"

"Attack! Attack! Attack!"

The atmosphere was quite lively, because many Manchester United fans believed their team had already secured the title.

Manchester United lead second-placed Manchester City by a full six points.

Since the beginning of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, these three teams have never had such a large gap!
Of course, all of this originated from the Manchester derby in the previous round.

"Yes, thanks to the victory in the Manchester derby, Manchester United now has the lead in the title race."

"Manchester City and Liverpool fans can only cheer for Chelsea now."

Haha, yes.

Prior to the match, The Sun conducted a poll on Twitter.

A full 65% of fans want Chelsea to beat Manchester United.

The composition of these 65% of fans is all too clear.

Besides Chelsea fans, there are also Manchester City and Liverpool fans, and these three fan groups are now on the same side.

Manchester United are already on the podium, just two steps away from lifting the Premier League title. And Chelsea are now the only team capable of pushing Manchester United off the podium.

Wow!!!

The game begins again!
With a 2-1 lead, Ten Hag made a substitution ahead of schedule.

De Jong replaced Rodri, who had been performing well.

The three Manchester United midfielders currently on the field are De Jong, Tang Ye, and McTominay.

After De Jong came on, Manchester United players generally retreated, clearly indicating they were going to play defensively.

73th minute!

Hazard!
clap clap!

Hazard and Kovacic combined, with the Chelsea star receiving the ball and heading straight for the Manchester United penalty area.

De Jong and McTominay approached from two different directions to defend.

Hey!

Kovacic called for the ball from behind Hazard again, but this time Hazard ignored him.

Left foot to right foot!
Right foot to left foot!

With a combination of alternating passes and a sudden burst of speed, Hazard weaved through the gap between two defenders.

!!!

Swipe!

They rode two fake bicycles into the restricted area.

Use your body to protect the ball!
Snapped!
A curling shot was delivered.

De Gea couldn't reach the ball, but Ashley Young, who was covering at the far post, headed it away.

Smalling quickly came to the rescue.

"Haha, Yang!"

Tang Ye raised both hands.

He thought the ball was going in, but Ashley Young unexpectedly appeared in that position.

boom!
De Gea and Ashley Young collided, instantly igniting the Manchester United defenders' momentum.

The game continues!

Hazard's shot failed to find the net, and Chelsea still have a chance to equalize with less than 15 minutes remaining.

Just when fans thought Manchester United would defend their 2-1 lead to the death, Ashley Young suddenly launched an attack from the backfield, dribbling the ball and charging straight out.

Wow!!!

Ashley Young is in great form today!

"Hazard went up to try and grab it, but he failed!"

Ashley Young!

Having reached a suitable position, Ashley Young prepared to pass the ball to McTominay on the right.

Just then, Tang Ye's voice came: "Valencia!"

Ashley Young stopped abruptly and passed the ball to Valencia.

The two Manchester United full-backs combined with a passing sequence.

Just then, Tang Ye, who was originally in the middle, suddenly moved to the right.

"Look at me, look at me!"

Tang Ye called out for the ball.

Valencia played a through ball!

boom!
A perfectly executed through ball; Tang Ye made room, and Valencia's through ball rolled past him and into the front.

While running, look towards the penalty area!
Kanté noticed Tang Ye's actions and immediately called out to his teammates.

"Inside the penalty area!"

Chelsea players have started to retreat.

Instead of passing the ball directly as Kanté had expected, Tang Ye chose to dribble forward himself.

Tang Ye seemed to have not fully recovered from the heatstroke he suffered in the last game, as he was not running very fast.

The lack of direct passes is a good thing for Chelsea's defense.

But Tang Ye kept the ball at his feet and didn't pass it, putting Chelsea players under a lot of pressure!
Slowly approaching the bottom line.

Alonso was just ahead, so Tang Ye stopped walking.

McTominay comes up to assist!
Tang Ye returns!

McTominay gets the ball, while Tang Ye bypasses Alonso and moves towards the middle.

boom!
McTominay played a through ball up the court!

"Stop them!"

Luis shouted, but by then Alonso had already lost his original positional advantage, and trying to interfere with Tang Ye would be a foul.

Considering Tang Ye's free-kick ability, Alonso ultimately decided against it.

Tang Ye!

Lift your right leg!
Snapped!
A curling shot with the outside of his foot was delivered, and McTominay's through ball soared into the sky.

He flew over the defenders and into the air above the penalty area, soaring all the way to near the left post.

The ball looks like it's going out of bounds.

But just when the fans thought the ball was going out of bounds, Martial suddenly appeared there.

Chest control!

He then unleashed a volley.

The ball went in!
3:1!!!

[Second assist for a goal, you gain an additional 20 comeback points]

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye ran out and hugged Martial, and he and his teammates celebrated.

"Tom!"

Boom!

"Tom!"

Bang bang bang!
Manchester United fans cheered. The camera showed Chelsea manager Sarri sitting back on the bench.

With nearly 80 minutes remaining and Chelsea trailing Manchester United by two goals, Chelsea had no chance left.

……

“Glory glory Man United~”

"Glory glory Man United!"

The game was over, but the fans in the stands were still singing loudly.

The large screen at the top of the stadium displayed the Premier League standings after the match.

"wowwow..."

The announcer is getting ready: "Tell me our current score!"

"Ninety-seven! (97)"

I can't hear you!

“ninety seven!!!”

Tang Ye walked out of the stadium, greeting Hazard and Kanté along the way.

"You're going to win the championship!"

Hazard touched Tang Ye's back as the two walked together.

"Oh, it's still early, Aiden."

Tang Ye shook his head and laughed, "There are still two rounds of the Premier League in May. We'll only know the final results after those two matches are played."

"You are the champions, everyone knew that result."

Hazard spread his hands forward, while Manchester United fans in the stands raised their banners.

We are Manchester United, and we are on our way to the title!

"so……"

Hazard placed his hand on Tang Ye's shoulder: "Congratulations, Tom." "Mmm..."

After Hazard left, Tang Ye stopped and stood motionless on the grass, his pupils reflecting the cheering Manchester United fans in the stands.

call.

……

Dongqiudi Match Report: Manchester United thrashed Chelsea 4-2 at home in Round 36, with Tang Ye providing an assist and scoring a penalty (46651 comments).

"TomTom!"

"viva TomTom!"

In the locker room, Tang Ye was picked up by Ashley Young and Allen. The players ran around, and soon Tang Ye's head was against the cabinet.

boom!
"Holy shit!"

"Ha ha!"

Van der Gach ran over and quickly moved Tang Ye away from the cabinet: "Be careful, be careful!"

Van der Gach shrugged at Ashley Young: "If you wanted to report him, why didn't you report it outside? Be careful in the locker room, it's slippery here."

Athletes often like to splash mineral water around, so the locker room floor is always very slippery during halftime or at the end of a match.

Celebrating recklessly at this time is extremely dangerous.

Van der Gach patted Tang Ye's head, while Rodri added in the background, "Tom plays with his head. If you damage Tom's head, we might not be able to win next month's match."

"Ha ha!"

"Hooray for Tom!"

His teammates shouted loudly, and Tang Ye raised his hands.

……

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand: I can't imagine how Manchester United could lose the Premier League title. This season will be the season Manchester United announces their resurgence.

[Mission Progress: Penalty Kick (3/3) / Goal (6/8)]

Status: Completed

Mission Reward: Random Rival Club Chest
"Well……"

Upon returning home, the first thing Tang Ye did was to deal with his system.

The task of scoring four penalty kicks was only recently assigned, and putting everything else aside, Tang Ye completed the task quite quickly this time.

He had already washed his face with facial cleanser while taking a shower.

The ceremony is all ready; now it's time to open the treasure chest.

You have obtained a random rival club treasure chest.

[Opening a random rival club treasure chest]

You have obtained the Liverpool Treasure Chest (Superstar)

Tang Ye has played for three clubs: Utrecht, Villarreal, and Manchester United.

If you're going to try and get a treasure chest from your arch-rivals, Liverpool's chances are obviously the highest.

Liverpool Superstar Treasure Chest...

Tang Ye's mind flashed to Liverpool players valued at over 7000 million euros, and then something suddenly occurred to him.

[Should I put the Liverpool Treasure Chest (Superstar) into my piggy bank to start the financial management task? If I complete the financial management task, what will I do...?]

[Financial Goal: Liverpool Treasure Chest (Legendary)]

[Task requirement: 5 league goals]

"..."

Five league goals—Tang Ye would be very happy with this kind of achievement under normal circumstances.

But you should know that the season is almost over.

How could Tang Ye score 5 goals in just two games?
Do we have to wait until next season?
Staring blankly at the computer screen, Tang Ye was now somewhat conflicted.

Should we start now, or... wait until next season?

After careful consideration, Tang Ye made his decision.

You have opened the Liverpool treasure chest (superstar)

You have obtained the Robertson 45-degree cross template (Superstar)

[De Bruyne's 45-degree cross lv5: Replica (Beyond Form)]

Proficiency: 982/3500 → 2813/3500
I got a Robertson 45-degree cross template, and then I gave Tang Ye's growth template nearly 2000 proficiency points.

Tang Ye's attributes also changed after he obtained the Robertson template.

[Passes: 92 → 93]

[Set piece: 81→82]

[Vision Range: 99 → 99]

Tang Ye (41 years old)
[Ball possession: 89; Passing: 93]

[Shots: 80; Headers: 61; Set pieces: 82]

Speed: 78; Endurance: 76; Physical Strength: 85

[Defense: 76; Vision: 99]

Overall rating: 88
Tang Ye's passing attribute, which had been stuck at 92 for a long time, finally broke through at this time, and Tang Ye's set-piece ability was also enhanced at the same time.

The most crucial thing!
Tang Ye's overall score also rose from 87 to 88!

hiss--

As the air conditioner blew in, Tang Ye shivered, enjoying the joy of becoming stronger.

Open Bilibili on your computer.

Tang Ye originally intended to relax by watching a few funny videos, but as soon as he opened Bilibili, the first thing he saw was the four big words "football elements".

That's incredibly impressive; Tang Ye's computer and phone use different Bilibili accounts.

Damn!

I'm being monitored by big data again!

His subconscious told him not to watch, but Tang Ye's hand still clicked on the video.

Football Element: A Long Analysis of Why the Top Midfielder, Valued at €2 Million, Shouldn't Leave Manchester United
Why can't they leave Manchester United? Because if they leave Manchester United, there won't be any more material for their stories.

[Dude, you've managed to get 80 followers by bashing Tang Ye?!]

[If my GGBond sees a hater trying to stop him from leaving, they'll just run away; their main theme is rebellion.]

[The blond guy: Are you talking about me?]

Stop with the blond hair! Tang Ye's hair color has returned to normal. My GGBond is a good man.

[Host, if Tang Ye wins the Ballon d'Or and the Champions League, will you still continue to criticize him?]

……

The day after the Manchester United vs. Chelsea match ended, the last Premier League game of April also came to a close.

The league standings immediately attracted the attention of fans after the match.

Attached is the 2018-19 Premier League standings (as of the end of Round 36):

1. Manchester United, 97 points.

2. Liverpool, 93 points.

3. Manchester City, 91 points.

4. Tottenham Hotspur, 67 points.

5. Chelsea, 66 points.

Liverpool secured a victory in the 36th round, narrowing the gap between them and Manchester United from 7 points to 4 points.

From the perspective of the Manchester United players, the fans could almost feel a chill running down their spines.

"Liverpool are second now, but you have to remember there are only two rounds left in the Premier League this season."

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher gave an interview to Sky Sports.

Manchester United have a better goal difference than Liverpool, so Liverpool need to win their next two matches if they want to win the title.

Carragher offered his opinion, and the host pulled the microphone to his own mouth: "Two consecutive wins shouldn't be difficult for Liverpool."

"Yes, it's not difficult for Liverpool to win two consecutive games, but it's a bit difficult for Manchester United to lose two in a row. So I still maintain my previous advice that Liverpool should focus on the Champions League, because you can't expect Cardiff City and Manchester United to draw."

"So, if Manchester United does win the Premier League title this season, do you think they're on the path to a resurgence?"

Ok……

This was not a good question to answer, and Carragher remained silent for a moment.

"From the perspective of honors and strength, I think Manchester United has indeed returned to their prime... but to be honest, I think there are still some obvious flaws in the Manchester United squad."

Carragher grinned at the camera.

His meaning was quite clear.

Carragher acknowledges Manchester United's Premier League title because it was snatched from the jaws of two tigers, Manchester City and Liverpool.

However, Carragher believes it will be difficult for Manchester United to maintain its dominance, as their attacking and defensive lines are no longer at the level of top clubs.
