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

Chapter 581 Mourinho vs. Ten Hag: Tottenham manager is being targeted.
"Martial!"

"Goal! Martial!"

"1:0!"

A well-executed set-piece combination gave Manchester United the lead in the match.

"Wow!!!!"

Dongqiudi live match report: Tang Ye provides a precise assist, Martial opens the scoring, Manchester United 1-0 Tottenham.

The goal came rather suddenly, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

GGBond's quick passing was indeed too strange!

The Manchester United players are seen hugging each other in the shot.

Tang Ye wanted to jump onto Martial, but found that Martial was too thin, so he didn't jump on him in the end.

It would be terrible if Martial got injured during the celebration!

"Tang Ye's assist!"

"Haha, we can now call this assist a Ballon d'Or-level assist!"

A Ballon d'Or-level assist—if you can't think of a suitable adjective, that's certainly a fair description.

In fact, every assist Tang Ye makes now can be called a Ballon d'Or-level assist, because it comes from a Ballon d'Or winner.

"Martial!"

Boom!

"Martial!"

Boom!

Manchester United fans chanted the goal scorer's name, and the camera then focused on Mourinho in front of the away team's bench.

Mourinho walked back and forth with his hands in his pockets, occasionally yelling at the Tottenham players on the field.

Actually, before the match even started, most fans were not optimistic about Tottenham, and they had already expected that Tottenham would concede the first goal.

But Mourinho was unhappy.

He never considered the possibility of losing, because the Portuguese coach believed that his team was capable of defeating everything.

"When they attack, we need to pull back the defensive line, understand?!"

Mourinho yelled at Alli: "Can you track back? Show me your defensive efforts! If you can't help the team with your attack, then defend!"

In this match, Alli played as an attacking midfielder, but as an attacking midfielder, he failed to fulfill the defensive duties he should have been responsible for.

Faced with the new coach's shouts, Alli merely glanced at Mourinho before walking away, it's unclear whether he took the coach's words to heart.

"Ali, uh, this..."

"This is not a good sign."

The commentators clearly noticed Alibaba's actions as well.

But there's nothing we can do about it. He became famous at a young age and became Tottenham's main attacking midfielder in just a few years. It's understandable that Dele Alli is a bit arrogant.

"Sigh, hopefully Ali can perform in a way that reflects his attitude."

The game continued, and 30 minutes had passed.

Tottenham's decision to relinquish possession allowed Manchester United to play very comfortably, and by the 30th minute, United had nearly 65% ​​possession.

It's unclear what Mourinho is thinking, because fans familiar with Manchester United know that giving possession to Manchester United is actually a very dangerous thing.

Possession and set-piece defense are among Manchester United's few weaknesses, and that's where you're going to get them. If you don't exploit your opponent's weaknesses, how can you play?

Is Tottenham... just showing off?

boom!
Tang Ye intercepted Son Heung-min on the wing.

The position is a bit too far back.

It would be too late for Tang Ye to dribble forward himself, so he chose what he believed to be the best option.

The through ball was passed to Rashford, who was in the lead.

Explosion!

boom!
Rashford maximized his speed and ability.

Stop the ball!

It was a difficult ball to control, and Rashford didn't handle it well on his first attempt.

Make some adjustments quickly.

After regaining possession, Rashford decisively cut inside against the defender.

It looks like he's going for a curling shot, and the Tottenham players are coming over.

boom!
Rashford cuts the ball away, trying to weave between two defenders.

In the end, the person made it across, but the ball didn't.

Mistake!
"Oh dear, that's a missed opportunity to score!"

"Actually, Martial should have gone to provide support sooner."

"Yeah, Martial's reaction was a bit slow..."

Manchester United missed their second scoring opportunity.

Just three minutes after that missed opportunity, Tottenham found their own chance.

Dembele's curling shot was caught by the goalkeeper, who then dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area.

"what!"

The ball is tossed out and placed directly near the center circle.

Alibaba rumored to be considering Son Heung-min!

Snapped!
This is a long pass from Son Heung-min, aimed at Harry Kane at the front.

So here's the problem: because they just finished an attack, Manchester United's defensive players are now positioned quite far forward, which gives Harry Kane the opportunity to break through the defense.

Get the ball!

"Ohh!!!!"

"Hey, here it comes, this looks like a one-on-one chance!"

"Harry Kane! Let's see if Harry Kane can seize this opportunity!"

Kane's first touch wasn't perfect, but he managed to get the ball thanks to his physical advantages.

Run straight towards the goal.

Kane is now only about 20 meters from the edge of the penalty area, and De Gea has been forced to run out of the goal line.

The one-on-one situation is already set!
"Ohhh!!!"

Kane sprinted with the ball, with Wan-Bissaka chasing after him.

Harry Kane enters the penalty area.

De Gea prepared to make a save, and that's when Wan-Bissaka came up.

Turn to the side and find a suitable opportunity.

boom!
Wan-Bissaka made a tackle on Kane, and the Tottenham striker fell in the penalty area.

"Beautiful! Wan-Bissaka!"

"A very clean tackle!"

"Beep beep beep!!!"

Wan-Bissaka's perfect defensive effort allowed Manchester United to temporarily hold onto their lead.

"Penalty!"

Alli and Vertonghen went to the referee together, shouting, "Penalty! Penalty!"

It wasn't just the players on the field; even Mourinho was shouting.

But to be honest, I oversimplified things this time.

How could such a clean tackle be a foul by Manchester United?
"Stop arguing, stop arguing!"

Tang Ye tried to push Alibaba away, but ended up being pushed back by Alibaba.

Hey!

Tang Ye went up to cause trouble, but was grabbed by Rodri.

As Manchester United's key defensive midfielder, Rodri's task is not only to stop the opponent's attack, but also to prevent Tang Ye from committing fouls.

You're overthinking it.

Tang Ye said something to Ali, and there was also some argument between Ten Hag and Mourinho on the sidelines.

It's unclear who started it, but Ten Hag and Mourinho are now pointing at each other's heads, looking like they're about to fight.

"Be careful"

"Keep an eye on your players!" Mourinho said.

Ten Hag retorted with a shrug: "Is that why you think it's a penalty? If you're blind, then I think it could be a penalty."

"..."

Wow!!!

“Beep beep beep beep!!!”

The fans stood by and watched, waiting for the two coaches to start arguing.

But what they wanted to see didn't happen; the staff and referees on site pulled the two apart.

[Let's fight!]

How did Mourinho get started?

Don't be a coward, Teng Sheng, take him down!

[Hilarious! Did Ten Hag insult Mourinho?]

This is all the fault of a certain Ballon d'Or winner; the Manchester United captain has started pushing people again.

"Calm down, calm down."

Van der Gach stopped Ten Hach in front of him, saying, "It's his fault, it's his fault."

Van der Gach didn't really know whose fault it was; he just wanted Ten Hach to calm down.

Don't eat the cards, Eric!
Just as the two coaches were clashing, Tang Ye looked off the court and asked, "How did they get together?"

"It seems to be because of you..."

Martial said in a low voice.

"what……"

Tang Ye took a step back: "Don't blame me, I'm a good person."

woohoo...

"Whoosh whoosh"

In the final moments of the match, Manchester United intensified their attack in an attempt to score a second goal, but were unsuccessful.

Manchester United's ever-increasing possession and number of shots on goal are making Mourinho very anxious, and his dissatisfaction with the referee is also growing stronger.

The funniest thing was that the Manchester United fans below the presidential platform were still causing trouble.

Tickets for today's match are 20% more expensive than usual, but if you can also see the Ballon d'Or presentation and the head coaches battling it out, then it's definitely worth it.

The person under the most pressure right now is Van der Gahr, who has to keep an eye on Ten Hach in addition to looking at his own computer screen.

Because the two head coaches could start fighting at any time!

……

Dongqiudi Halftime Report: Martial scores, Manchester United lead 1-0 at halftime; Mourinho and Otenhag clash off the field.

"Counter-attack, what is counter-attack? You all need to run. When the opponent has a player attacking, you need to follow up as quickly as possible and stop them. Build up the defense, then counter-attack, that's our tactic." Mourinho shrugged: "And then what are you doing? What are you doing?"

"Hmm, Deler?"

"I shouldn't be the worst player in the first half."

Dele Alli is not happy about being the first person Mourinho called out.

Of Tottenham's 11 starting players, Dele Alli was arguably one of the best performers in the first half. Without him, many of Tottenham's attacks simply wouldn't have happened.

Mourinho turned his head away, then stared at Alli: "What I'm asking for isn't your individual performance, it's that you follow the tactics!"

"You're an attacking midfielder, and attacking midfielders need to defend."

"You can take a look at TY, see how TY does it?"

Dele Alli's bad attitude caused Mourinho to become more aggressive as well.

"He wasn't the worst player in the first half, haha, TY played much better than you. Did he even participate in defense?"

"..."

Ali didn't say anything, and his expression wasn't very happy.

"Everyone needs to stick to the tactics; this is our only chance to win!"

Clap clap clap!

Mourinho's magnetic flag on his quick-moving tactics board.

Tottenham's squad is weaker than Manchester United's on paper, and if they don't execute their tactics well, they really have no chance at all.

What angered Mourinho was that many Tottenham players were still unaware of this.

……

The second half is about to begin. Players' tunnel.

"Harry"

Tang Ye and Kane embraced; the two were old rivals.

Congratulations, haha!

Kane patted Tang Ye on the back. To be honest, he was thinking of asking Tang Ye to show him the Ballon d'Or trophy and maybe even touch it a few times. But after hesitating for a while, Kane gave up the idea.

"Go Harry!"

"Well, come on"

……

Before the start of the second half, Tang Ye overheard Mourinho and Alli talking.

"If I don't see you defending in the second half, I'll substitute you."

Tang Ye shook his head.

He hopes Alli won't listen to Mourinho too much, as this would make it easier for Manchester United to attack.

64nd minute of the second half!

They still relied on the right flank as their attacking point, with Tang Ye's long pass finding Dembele with pinpoint accuracy.

The accuracy was ridiculously high, but the Manchester United fans in the stands didn't react much.

"This pass was still... well, very easy for Tang Ye!"

"Dembele needs to utilize his speed advantage on the right wing."

"We say that Dembele is a player with outstanding individual ability, so it remains to be seen how Tottenham will defend against him."

Dembele makes a diagonal run towards the top of the box, alternating between his left and right feet to control the ball.

clap clap!

A one-two pass was executed, and Dembele regained possession of the ball from Martial.

We're getting close to the top of the arc.

Move left, move right...

Lower your center of gravity and move to the left.

Dembele has many subtle dribbling tricks. When changing direction, he pushes the ball towards his opponent's feet and then pulls it back.

Vertonghen was swindled and crippled!

Wow!!!

Dembele completed his third dribble of the match!
Cut inside!

Snapped!
A shot curled into the corner, but the goalkeeper made the save.

hiss……

"You can adjust it again."

Tang Ye quickly rubbed Dembele's head a few times, then took the ball from the caddie.

Manchester United corner kick!
This time, it's up to Tang Ye to handle it.

Tang Ye is not Manchester United's first-choice corner taker because his ability to identify weaknesses is very important in corner kick attacks.

Tang Ye isn't the kind of person who can hold back. His set-piece attribute just skyrocketed to 90 and he hasn't used it much yet. Today, he has to take advantage of a corner kick opportunity to show off!
"call……"

Observe carefully.

"Beep!!!"

The referee blew the whistle, and Tang Ye raised both hands.

approach!

Snapped!
He crossed the ball with his left foot.

I hit my favorite back point.

Rodri and Smalling went to fight for the ball, but they both collided with the defenders, and in the end, neither of them managed to get the ball.

The ball landed on the ground.

next second!
Dembele arrived just in time.

The ball bounced up to a height that was exactly level with Dembele's neck, so it was clear how to handle the ball.

boom!
A header!

"GOOOO-AAAAA-LLLLLL!!!!"

"The ball is in!"

"Dembele! Header goal!"

With the score at 2-0, Manchester United had established a complete advantage in the match.

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

Dembele was about to run to the right corner flagpole to celebrate, but then suddenly remembered something and turned around and ran to the left corner flagpole instead.

Because the left path is the direction Tom is in!

"Woww!!!!"

GGBond and Osman ran towards each other, and together they performed a sliding knee slide in front of the fans.

boom!
Swish swish! ! !
It's worth mentioning that Dembele also drew three stripes.

"Oh, haha!"

"When did Dembele start practicing this?"

The two stopped when they were about two meters apart. Dembele stood up and shortened the distance between himself and Tang Ye, then knelt down again.

Manchester United forward and midfielder knelt face-to-face, making the exact same gesture: one hand covering their face, the other tucked behind their backside.

The camera slowly focuses.

Hmm, he's kind of handsome!
After kneeling, the two stood up, and Tang Ye grabbed Dembele's body and slammed his chest against Dembele's.

"Ha ha!"

"Wow!!!!"

【So handsome? 】

Damn, it seems like Ten Hag is a real genius now. Tang Ye just grabs whoever he likes and buys them. If Manchester United doesn't revive, who will?

When you feel Dembele's performance isn't worth 1 million, Ten Hag will use Tang Ye to revitalize Dembele.

Manchester United's signings in recent seasons have been like this.

From Tang Ye onwards, to Rodri, Haller, De Jong, and then Dembele, every signing Manchester United has made has been seen as overpriced by fans.

Fans on the fifth floor looking down thought Ten Hag's signings were terrible, down to the level of the first floor.

But now it seems that the first layer of Tenhah was just a shadow of Tensaeng; the real Tensaeng had long since flown to the stratosphere.

Buying a player worth 5000 million euros for 3000 million euros seems like a loss of 2000 million euros. However, Ten Hag immediately put the newly bought player and Tang Ye together, eating, training, and playing together.

A few months later, the synergy was successfully established, and the player's value jumped from €3000 million to €8000 million.
In the end, he made a net profit of 3000 million.

"Well, it's fair to say that Manchester United's resurgence isn't without reason, because looking at all the football coaches in European leagues, no one really has seen as far ahead as Ten Hag."

"Manchester United always pays a premium for players, oh well. Players are like stocks, and stocks appreciate in value!"

He Wei expressed his admiration for Ten Hach.

Perception determines altitude, and the Dutch people's perception is the key to Manchester United's revival!

In the 75th minute of the match, Ten Hag removed Tang Ye from the field.

Manchester United need to prepare for the next Manchester derby.

Just in the 80th minute, Tottenham launched a very clever attack, with Son Heung-min's cross finding Kane.

The next second, Kane was brought down in the penalty area.

From God's perspective, it was a clear foul, but the referee didn't award Tottenham a penalty.

Hey!

Mourinho approached the fourth official to complain: "Penalty! Why wasn't it awarded? What happened?"

Beep!
After receiving no response to his two consecutive complaints, Mourinho became so angry that he simply sat back down in his seat.

He's being targeted!
Let's leave aside for now why Manchester United were able to win the Premier League title last season.

But one thing is certain: Mourinho was definitely being targeted, and not just him, but the entire Tottenham team was being targeted.

The FA is targeting them, which is why Tottenham's win rate this season has not met expectations!
Looking at the referee on the field, Mourinho's breathing became heavier and heavier.

The Portuguese players were eager to rush onto the field, but in the end, reason prevailed.

"Beep, beep beep—!!!"

"Alright, the match is over! Thanks to goals from Martial and Dembele, Manchester United have won this match 2-0!"

Manchester United have only drawn two of their 15 Premier League matches so far, winning the other 13 and keeping seven clean sheets.

With 13 wins and 2 draws in 15 rounds, this record is quite remarkable!

"hiss……"

"If there are no injuries this season, Manchester United would be invincible in the Premier League."

"Oh, that's hard to say, Coach He. Liverpool is very strong this season, and they haven't had any injuries all season. Isn't that a bit too difficult?"

“We’ve also seen this. Ten Hag has learned from last season’s experience. This season, Tang Ye and Rashford have been substituted early in many matches, which has definitely helped a lot in preventing injuries…”

"Coach He, who do you think has a better chance of winning the title this season, Manchester United or Liverpool?"

"I've just become a bullish view on Manchester United, provided that no Premier League team adopts Dortmund's attacking tactics."

Manchester United's weaknesses have been proven in this season's Champions League group stage. Whether the other 19 Premier League teams can capitalize on these weaknesses remains to be seen.
