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

Chapter 569 Chelsea sit at Stamford Bridge, but Kanté is injured (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month!)
Match Preview: EFL Cup Round of 16, October 30th, Manchester United away against Chelsea. With Hazard gone and Kante injured, can a depleted Chelsea side contend with a fully fit Manchester United?

Di Maria interview: I think this year should be Messi's sixth Ballon d'Or, and he deserves it. As for TY, I think he's too young.

Di Maria argued that Tang Ye shouldn't have won this year's Ballon d'Or because he was too young, which drew criticism from Chinese and Manchester United fans, who felt that Di Maria was only speaking up for his own countrymen.

However, upon closer examination, what Di Maria said is actually not wrong.

Compared to the other winners, Tang Ye is indeed a bit too young.

In this interview, Dongqiudi listed the five youngest Ballon d'Or winners in history:
1. Ronaldo (R9): 21 years and 96 days (1997).

2. Michael Irving: 22 years and 4 days old (2001).

3. Lionel Messi: 22 years and 157 days (2009).

4. George Best: 22 years and 212 days (1968).

5. Oleg Blokhin: 23 years and 55 days (1975).

The youngest Ballon d'Or winner is Ronaldo of Brazil, who was only 21 when he won the award.

But you should know, GGBond is only 20 years old this year!

If Tang Yezhen wins the Globe in December, he will break the record for the youngest Globe winner by 200 days, which is quite an exaggeration.

Marca interviewed Wu Lei (Villarreal striker), a fellow countryman of Tang Ye: I think Tang Ye will win the Ballon d'Or. He is now a role model for all Chinese, or rather, all Asian players.

[Tang Ye wins the Golden Ball, I officially announce it on behalf of French football]

We must show Messi the power of an Asian Cup champion and top scorer!

Forget about the Ballon d'Or; he'll behave himself after being eliminated from the EFL Cup. I feel Teng Sheng lacks strategic vision; he still let Tang Ye start every three days. How are they going to play Chelsea now?

[To the person upstairs, I think you want to get scolded. Three days is not an easy task for me, Tang Qiuwang.]

Some fans actually believe that Tang Ye cannot recover to his best condition within 3 days.

This is absolutely wrong.

If a physical education student can fully recover from a car accident, then playing a Premier League match is a piece of cake.

For example, Manchester United players have already departed for London.

Manchester United have announced that Luke Shaw suffered leg cramps during training and will miss the next match against Chelsea.

Good grief, Manchester United also lost a player.

Now Chelsea isn't embarrassed anymore. If Luke Shaw hadn't been injured, tonight's match would have been a contest between the team with the most injuries and the team with the fewest injuries in the entire Premier League.

It's not awkward anymore.

However, let's analyze the game from a tactical perspective.

Manchester United's basic fighting strength is still intact, even with Luke Shaw injured. Last season, Manchester United managed to overcome the injuries to both Luke Shaw and Rashford in the final stages of the league.

But what about Chelsea?

Without N'Golo Kante, Chelsea's current situation is far from optimistic.

……

Stamford Bridge Stadium!

"Okay, today is the EFL Cup Round of 16 match where Manchester United plays Chelsea away."

"As you can see, Tang Ye is right in the center of the screen! He's whispering to his teammates right now!"

Wang Chao attempted to decipher Tang Ye's lips, but this was practically impossible.

Tang Ye spoke to his teammates in English, which was very difficult for Wang Chao, who had only completed primary school.

"I feel like Tang Ye is saying that we beat them 3-0 in this match. Do you guys agree?"

"What, checking the streamer's educational background?"

"No, so what if the streamer only has an elementary school education? Are you looking down on people with only an elementary school education?"

Wang Chao stared at the live stream camera: "Last year, oh, I think it was last year, didn't I curse at you guys? I said that education doesn't represent everything, and you guys are still yelling at me like that."

"Tang Ye never even finished elementary school, yet he earns 30 billion RMB a year. So, if the streamer did finish elementary school, wouldn't he be more impressive than Tang Ye?"

"Luneng is a vocational school... no, really?"

[Hey streamer, don't be a clown. Elementary school is elementary school; it can't compare to university.]

Actually, Tang Ye is already a student at Peking University; you can just check his student ID number.

[Livestreamers earn hundreds of millions a year]

[Where's Hazard? Chelsea are having a terrible time.]

The live stream was a mixed bag; experts were already analyzing the score using tactics, while newbies were still asking where Hazard was.

"Hazard went to Real Madrid a few months ago, guys."

"The match is about to begin. Let me first introduce the starting lineups for this match, starting with the away team, Manchester United!"

As is customary, Manchester United will be introduced first, followed by the other team.

Chelsea (4-3-3)

Goalkeeper: Caballero

Guards: Reece James, Zouma, Goi, Marcos Alonso

Midfielders: Gilmour, Jorginho, Kovacic

Forwards: Hudson-Odoi, Batshuayi, Pulisic

Head Coach: Lampard

Compared to previous seasons, Chelsea's squad has been much weaker this season.

Kante's injury is one issue, while Hazard's sale to Real Madrid is another.

"Actually, guys... I'll tell you something a lot of people don't know: Hazard almost transferred to Manchester United this summer transfer window."

"I think this deal is a real shame; it would have been better if Barcelona hadn't let Dembélé go."

In fact, Wang Chao, like Roy Keane, belongs to the Hazard faction. The characteristic of this faction is that they believe Hazard >> Dembele, so they think that Ten Hag's move to buy Dembele from Barcelona was a mistake.

Fortunately, after Tang Ye returned, Dembele's dribbling efficiency surpassed Hazard's; otherwise, Ten Hag would probably have been scolded to death by Wang Chao.

"De Ligt, dribble the ball out!"

"Give it to De Jong, give it to De Jong, hey, give it to De Jong!"

"No, De Ligt, what are you doing? Uh, coming!"

"De Licht! Go straight to Tang Ye up ahead!"

"Nice, give me the camera, this is the King of Football, the 2019 Ballon d'Or winner."

He got the ball, and facing the defender Tang Ye, he easily pulled the ball and turned around, and then advanced again. The series of movements were incredibly smooth.

"Huh, huhu..."

Kovacic moved over from the side, trying to steal the ball from Tang Ye.

Snapped!
The long pass went directly to the left baseline.

Rashford gets the ball!

It was an absolute blast!
Reece James is following.

However, it's clear that James is finding it quite difficult to catch up with Rashford.

Approaching the baseline...

Rashford stopped his dunk and slowly pressed James.

"Come on, come on!"

Ashley Young called for the ball, received the pass, and then passed it to Tang Ye.

Facing Jorginho's defense, Tang Ye pulled the ball under his body and then pushed it to the right front.

Let's make an adjustment!
Let's pause for a moment.

Then take one more step to the right!
Pretending to make fried dough balls, Tang Ye actually kicked the door open as he moved his left foot towards his right.

Snapped!
"Tang Ye!"

"Holy shit!"

"The ball is in!"

He drew the letter "C" with the outside of his left foot and accurately hit the top left corner of the goal.

Caballero sat on the ground.

The Chelsea goalkeeper needs some time to think.

Consider why Tang Ye chose to shoot in that manner.

"Damn, that's awesome!"

"In the 9th minute of the match, Tang Ye scored with the outside of his foot!"

Manchester United 1-0!

Wang Chao raised his hands, and many fans in the live broadcast room did the same.

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye jumped up and collided with Ashley Young, knocking Ashley Young to the ground with a loud bang.

"Hey, Yang!"

Tang Ye reached out to help Ashley Yang up, but unexpectedly the latter pulled him to the ground.

Well!
"Let's take a look at the replay of my goal just now, King Tang..."

"Hiss..." "Ugh..."

"There was no warning at all, guys, how do you defend against this?"

"Don't even mention the goalkeeper being blind; it's very difficult to react to that ball. How did you know Tang Ye was going to shoot?"

The master's shot was incredibly well-concealed.

Chelsea's previous goalkeeper was Courtois; if you let Courtois speak, he might be able to react.

But it would be difficult for Caballero.

If shots can be easily reacted to, can a master still be a master?
"Super Fankie Lampard, he scores whenever he wants!"

Chelsea fans sang a very classic cheering song.

This song was created by fans when Lampard was still playing for the team, and now that Lampard is Chelsea's manager, fans are still singing it.

Tang Ye's goal established Manchester United's dominance in this match.

Time quickly came to the 20th minute of the first half.

Chelsea have been looking for opportunities to attack over the past few minutes.

Unfortunately, without Hazard and Kante, Chelsea's attacking ability was significantly weakened.

Jorginho and Pulisic need to find a combination!

Take a look at Prisic!
Tang Ye gestured for De Rong to move to the right side of the road, and then he moved over as well.

Pulisic first accelerated and led the way.

Batshuayi came to meet them.

clap clap!

After a two-pass pass, Pulisic safely reached the baseline.

One-on-one against Wan-Bissaka.

"Ugh, a bulldozer!"

"Although Wan-Bissaka's dribbling skills are a bit lacking, I feel his one-on-one defense should be fine."

Shortly after Wang Chao finished speaking, Pulisic decisively abandoned his idea of ​​taking on Wan-Bissaka alone.

Because he knew he couldn't do it.

Stop, pass back to Batshuayi.

The center forward has moved to the wing, and Jorginho is now covering for Chelsea in the center.

boom!
Batshuayi played a through ball, which landed perfectly in front of Jorginho!
Wow!!!

Seeing a scoring opportunity looming, Jorginho strode forward and seized the ball.

boom!
A long-range shot after a leg swing!

Okay, actually it was a feint. Jorginho passed the ball to Reece James, who was coming up on the right.

"James, James..."

"Haha, James, why aren't you shooting yet?"

"Oh, James!"

Snapped!
Seizing the gap between De Ligt and De Jong, James played a through ball into the penalty area.

Prisic cut in from the side!
!!!

Bailly didn't even realize when Prisic had arrived.

shit!
Snapped!
Pulisic took the shot.

Manchester United fans' hearts stopped, but then Pulisic's shot hit De Gea.

"De Gea!"

"Holy crap, I'm blown away!"

"This is the best goalkeeper in the Premier League!"

Manchester United's main strategy is counter-attacking, so De Gea has always been in the spotlight quite a bit.

Today was no exception.

"Awesome!"

I agree to come over specifically to touch De Gea's arm.

"Go go go!"

"Focus your attention!"

Rodri pointed to his temple, making the same gesture as Escriva: "Be careful, our lead didn't come easily!"

"Just kick him out as soon as he comes in!"

Compared to their midfield defense, Manchester United's backline does indeed seem to have a lot of holes.

"De Gea is still very effective, which is why I said before that Manchester United could win 3-0 today. Chelsea can't score at all without Hazard."

"Just look at the Premier League this season. Can Chelsea's goal tally compare to Manchester United's? Besides, Manchester United didn't even have Tang Ye in the first eight rounds. Chelsea can't even beat that."

"..."

Tang Ye was shoving Pulisic on the wing, trying his best to push Pulisic out of bounds.

But it didn't work out for a while.

Seizing an opening, Tang Ye suddenly widened his distance.

!

Pulisic thought Tang Ye was going to tackle him, and instinctively jumped up, which gave Tang Ye the opportunity.

Step on the ball and pull it down towards yourself!
From God's perspective, Pulisic practically passed the ball directly to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye didn't hesitate; after getting the ball, he turned and ran.

Snapped!
[De Bruyne's long pass level 5: Replica (Beyond Form)]

Proficiency: 4576/5000
A very powerful long pass, flying over to find Rashford.

The information given was a little inaccurate, but that's a minor issue.

Rashford stops the ball!

Uh, I didn't even stop the ball properly.

Two small problems combined become a big problem, so Rashford quickly adjusted and dribbled forward with long strides.

Rashford's greatest strength is that when he's dribbling, the ball is far from his body, which is the best opportunity for defenders to intercept him.

Unfortunately, Reece James failed to capitalize on this opportunity.

If you fail to exploit your opponent's weaknesses, you may have to pay the price.

James was outpaced by Rashford's speed.

Pull it to the bottom line!

He walked straight to the baseline, but Rashford took too long of the touch and the ball went out of bounds.

"Oh!!"

"xuuu!!!"

Dongqiudi live match report: Tang Ye made a 47-meter long pass, Rashford accelerated past his opponent and took the ball out of bounds.

It's the 37th minute of the first half, and the score is still 1-0.

Snapped!
A counter-attack opportunity arose, and De Ligt launched a long ball from the backfield directly forward.

Dembele, who was already prepared, came over to receive the ball at this moment.

Stop the ball with your left foot and pass it to your right foot, then dribble the ball forward with your right foot.

Although he no longer had a one-on-one opportunity, Dembele still wanted to run to the byline as quickly as possible in order to attack Chelsea's defense.

But Kovacic didn't let him succeed.

Kovacic reached out and grabbed Dembele's jersey; the latter tried to break free but was eventually knocked down.

Dembele rolled on the ground one and a half times, looking a bit upset.

Dembele didn't directly cause trouble for Kovacic, but Haller had already moved on.

"Fuck you!"

A clash broke out between Haller and Kovacic, and players from both sides quickly moved over.

"Hey, Seba, never mind, Seba!"

Tang Ye pulled Ale back, trying to stop him from going over, while Rodri was responsible for pushing Dembele to a place where there were no Chelsea players.

Why did you push me?

Kovacic wanted to come up, but Ale was already blocked behind by Tang Ye.

"Forget it!"

Tang Ye shouted at Kovacic, "If you come any closer, I'll curse at you too!"

Yellow Card: Kovacic.
