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

Chapter 586 Champions League knockout stage match against Real Madrid, fourth consecutive Asian Golden Ball award

"Fuck!"

Tang Ye jumped up from the sofa: "Holy crap, someone's trying to get us killed!"

After being drawn directly against Real Madrid in the round of 16, many Manchester United players are in a bad mood right now.

Especially several players who have played in La Liga, such as Tang Ye and Dembele.

They have faced Real Madrid head-on and know how formidable this La Liga team is.

Back in his chair, Tang Ye took a deep breath: "Look at Osman, this is what I said before, the Champions League knockout stage draw is manipulated. You might not believe it, but it's true, I've experienced it many times."

Dembele hasn't shown much reaction yet, but Ashley Young and Mata are already panting.

"Real Madrid doesn't seem as strong as they have been in previous seasons, does they?"

Ashley Young suddenly said.

"No, no, no, Hazard is gone."

Tang Ye offered a reminder.

Cristiano Ronaldo's departure weakened Real Madrid's attacking line, but they did buy Hazard from Chelsea this summer!
This is very difficult to handle, especially for Hazard, who is all too familiar with Manchester United!

"Hazard looks injured."

De Gea interjected, and several Manchester United players pulled out their phones, but before they could even get their phones out, Van der Gach's voice came through: "Hazard probably won't be able to play."

"That is not bad……"

Without Hazard, Real Madrid's attacking strength is probably not very strong.

Then let's compare the midfield...

Oh, there's no need for comparison here. No matter what kind of midfielder you are, you have to bow down to Manchester United.

Then there's the defense.

Actually, looking at it this way, Manchester United is only worse than Real Madrid in defense, their goalkeepers are about equal, but Manchester United has a clear advantage in attack and midfield.

"Actually, we can be more confident."

Van der Gach blinked.

Manchester United drew one of the stronger teams in the second tier, but that shouldn't be a problem for the team right now.

"Hey"

Tang Ye held the back of his head with both hands.

He was a little nervous, but compared to his first encounter with Real Madrid, Tang Ye's mindset was much better now.

"You didn't beat Real Madrid last season, Osman?"

Tang Ye turned to look at Dembele next to him, who was sitting on the sofa staring blankly at the TV screen.

Turning around: "Never won..."

Last season's La Liga champions were Barcelona, ​​not Real Madrid.

"Well, that's alright, Ottoman."

Tang Ye put his hand on Dembele's shoulder: "Then just win one game with us this season."

When he was first drawn against Real Madrid, Tang Ye appeared very flustered.

But you can’t forget that when GG was playing for Villarreal, he led the team to two draws against Real Madrid!

Rhodes and Allais are witnesses!

Top post on Dongqiudi: The Champions League Round of 16 draw is in! Barcelona vs. Inter Milan, PSG vs. Chelsea, Manchester United vs. Real Madrid – Tang Ye will once again face off against the three-man midfield trio. (45127 comments)

[Wow, Manchester United has been manipulated.]

[With so many capable teams, why pick Real Madrid? Hmm... but I feel like it might be alright?]

[Tang Ye is better than the three midfielders in the ceremony, Dembele is better than Benzema, okay, so the conclusion is: Manchester United is better than Real Madrid]

Damn, Barcelona got knocked out of Inter Milan! That's awesome!

The highly anticipated Champions League knockout stage draw has finally concluded, with both Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United receiving less-than-ideal draws.

However, Ten Hag is not actually the most nervous of all the head coaches.

The most nervous person is Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane.

You need to think from Real Madrid's perspective. They are about to face the current Premier League champions, the only unbeaten team in the top five leagues this season.

Real Madrid's opponent is Manchester United, led by GG!
Marca

Click, click, click!

"I don't know how to say it, this result is terrible for Real Madrid. We just happened to encounter Eden (Hazard)'s injury at our most difficult time."

Zidane looked dejected.

Will Hazard be able to recover and rejoin the team before the round of 16 begins?

Facing Manchester United's challenge, Real Madrid arguably needs the support of a strong winger. Therefore, some journalists and Real Madrid fans believe that Hazard's return is a necessary condition for them to defeat Manchester United.

Zidane's answer was that Hazard should be able to recover by February next year, but time is very tight, and it is hard to say whether he can participate in the knockout stage.

"Do you have a way to handle TY? Do you have any pre-planned strategies?"

When asked by reporters, Zidane shook his head and walked away, but the reporters tried to chase after him.

"coach!"

Click, click, click!

Can you answer my question?

After leaving the draw site, Zidane and his staff got into a car and prepared to fly directly back to Madrid.

"You seem to be being harassed by the reporters."

The staff watched Zidane sitting in the back row, gazing blankly out the window at the scenery.

"They don't even think before asking questions. The draw had just ended, and they immediately asked me if there was any way to beat Manchester United."

Zidane shrugged: "At least give me some time to think about it, right?"

The draw results were already bad, and now the reporters are making things difficult for him. Zidane must be feeling quite frustrated right now.

"Hey……"

The Real Madrid entourage sighed.

Before the draw, Real Madrid further subdivided the top-tier teams into three tiers, with Manchester United, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich being the highest tier.

In other words, Real Madrid drew the opponent they least wanted to face.

"Are you confident, Zinnetin? Hmm... how confident are you?"

"..."

Zidane looked out the window again.

How is Hazard?

"I'm not too optimistic, but two months should definitely be enough."

“That’s fine.”

Manchester United is very strong, that's true.

But if you think that the striker Real Madrid bought for over 1 million euros only knows how to eat hamburgers, then you are very wrong!
……

Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports betting platform) pinned post: Europa League Round of 32 draw: Dortmund vs. Copenhagen, Sevilla vs. Roma. (The third-placed teams in their Champions League groups advance to the Europa League knockout stage).

In an interview, Ten Hag said: Real Madrid has won the most Champions League titles in history, but that doesn’t mean they can always win.

The New York Times -- Apple is pushing for a global partnership with TY, planning a "football + basketball" endorsement deal, which means Apple may choose an NBA star as TY's partner, with LeBron James considered a possible candidate.

The Sun reports that TY clashed with a Dortmund fan who insulted Eskrima on Instagram, with the two exchanging insults for 22 minutes.

Four news items were listed first, but the Europa League draw results and Ten Hag's interview didn't attract much attention from fans, because The Sun had pulled out something really explosive.

Because they failed to qualify for the Champions League knockout stage, Eskeriva was criticized by some Dortmund fans.

Dortmund's excellent league and Champions League performance last season has left Dortmund fans disappointed this season, and head coach Eskrima has inevitably faced criticism.

One of the German fans, named Diane, had his comment pushed to the top.

[Dian: Escribá has big problems, and I feel that he is a bit of a charlatan. When he was in La Liga, he bought a Chinese striker because of TY, and at a premium.]

[Dean: His signings and tactical focus are both problematic. Believe me, Dortmund must get rid of Fernando if they want to go far.]

It wasn't a particularly radical comment, but for some reason, Tang Ye saw it. About eight minutes after Dean's comment appeared, Tang Ye replied below.

It's worth mentioning that Tang Ye uses a large account, with the words "1.55 million followers" prominently displayed on his homepage.

【TY: ? ? ? ? ? ? 】

Dean: TY? My god, you really are TY!

[TY: Tell me why Phelan can't coach Dortmund? Where did you get your second-place finish in the Bundesliga last season? And who bought Pogba? Did you buy him?]

The argument between the two sides paused briefly, interspersed with comments from many onlookers.

Dean was clearly bewildered by Tang Ye's words and needed some time to process them.

[Dean: Okay, then why can't we even get into the knockout stage? We've gone from the Champions League group stage to the Europa League. Is this what you mean by being able to coach Dortmund? Dortmund's current strength is entirely built on Pogba and Sancho; there's no future in sight.]

[TY: Dortmund's tactics aren't good enough. Didn't you beat Bayern last season?]

Dean: We lost this season, and by a score of 0-3.

[TY: You have to keep winning, right? How much is Bayern's budget per season, and Dortmund's? Don't you want to compare them, bro? You're just spouting nonsense. Are you sure you're right?]

Dean: Ferran just won't do.

【TY: Idiot】

The two were initially arguing, but after Dean said, "Ferrand is no good," they started hurling insults at each other.

The two of them posted nearly 100 messages together. Including netizens who joined in the fun, Dean's post had more than 2 replies, and it's estimated that it will reach 3 in no time.

[Coming here because of its reputation]

My GGBond is so powerful, I'm here to help!

What's there to criticize about Ferlan? Are you still not satisfied with Dortmund's results? Why don't you spend more money in the summer transfer window, like Manchester United did, spending 2 million?

[Hahaha, I feel this is going to go viral, marking this post]

I also think Eskeriva is too good to pass up. Why buy a Chinese player instead of a German? Luckily, there aren't too many Chinese players worth tens of millions of euros, otherwise our team would probably be full of Chinese players.

Some things on the internet are hard to explain. Tang Ye and Dean argued until they were both tired and stopped, but the fans who came to join in the fun started arguing too, and dozens of second battlefields were opened up in the comments section of the post.

The discussion started with Escribá's signings, then moved on to Ten Hag's signings, and then questioned Escribá's previous decisions during his time coaching in La Liga, criticizing Espanyol for their huge mistake of not including a buyout clause in the Tang Ye contract.

"If a buyout clause had been added to the Utrecht contract, Villarreal would have already made 200 million euros. Ferran lacks foresight."

Escribá's opponents seized on this issue to launch a harsh critique of the Spanish coach, while Escribá's supporters argued that the opponents' demands were a bit too high.

Tang Ye was just a genius teenager worth 20 million euros back then, still in the lottery stage. Who knew his value would increase tenfold?

Actually, these topics were all fine, but as the arguments went on, they gradually escalated into racial conflicts, and tens of thousands of fans with different stances started fighting directly in the comments section.

When the number of comments reached nearly 3, a mysterious force appeared, and the post disappeared.

The following morning, London time, Tang Ye issued a statement via post.

His account was hacked!
It's not GGBond himself!

……

"Damn it, I'm getting a little tipsy."

On the way to the training base in the morning, Tang Ye hung his head and said, "But I really don't think it's my fault. He must be wrong to say that. Isn't Ferran better than Dortmund's previous coach... even though I don't watch Bundesliga matches much?"

He turned to look at Rhodes: "Rhodes, what do you think?"

Of course I'm on your side.

I support you, brother.

"but……"

Well?
Tang Ye raised an eyebrow: "But what?"

"If you had used a secondary account at all..."

"Damn, I only have that one account!"

Registering an account requires a phone card. Tang Ye only has one UK phone card. The Spanish phone card he used before has been blocked because he hasn't paid the bill.

"Well, you'd better prepare a smaller one."

When the traffic light stopped, Rodri placed his hand on Tang Ye's thigh.

Tom has a huge fan base; any comment he makes will get at least a thousand replies.

How could such a top superstar use his real name to swear?
"Beep beep!!"

The car next to him honked, and Tang Ye turned around and rolled down the window.

"Tom! Oh...shit!"

"Could I get an autograph?"

"arrow"

After saying that, Tang Ye unbuckled his seatbelt and leaned out to sign autographs for the fans, but Rodri pulled him back in the next second.

"What's wrong, Rhodes?"

"Wait a moment!"

Rhodes yelled, "Pull over after the traffic light!"

……

The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) officially announced that Tang Ye, a player from the Chinese national team, won the 2019 Asian Golden Ball award, marking his fourth consecutive win.

"Beautiful! Rashford!"

A goal from Rashford.

Manchester United lead Watford 1-0!

"Vamos!"

Rodri suddenly stood up on the bench.

It's already the 62nd minute of the second half. Manchester United hadn't scored a goal in the entire first half, and it almost seemed like they wouldn't get the 3 points in this game.

However, Manchester United eventually managed to open the scoring for their opponents!
Marcus Rashford's goal!
"Beep!"

Manchester United made their substitutions after the first goal was scored.

Tang Ye replaced Rashford, who scored the goal.

Wow!!!

"Tom! Tom!"

"Eric, a perfect substitution!"

Manchester United fans highly approve of Ten Hag's substitution decision.

So true!

"Marcus!"

Tang Ye and Rashford clapped hands, then ran back to their positions.

"Move aside, move aside, let's attack the right!"

"..."

"Tang Ye, come to the left wing. Tang Ye is playing in Rashford's position. I wonder how Manchester United will handle this."

"Dribble towards the middle!"

"Tang Ye!"

He shook off the defender and immediately followed up with a crossover kick.

Just then, McTominay ran up and received Tang Ye's pass.

Stop the ball...

McTominay dribbles the ball forward himself!
Luke Shaw, give me the bottom line!
Luke Shaw stopped, and Tang Ye moved to the inverted triangle receiving position.

Get the ball, then turn around!
Tang Ye used his quick turn to get rid of the defender, and then passed the ball into the penalty area.

De Jong was inserted in the back!
boom!
A powerful shot found Manchester United, giving them their second goal of the match.

2: 0.

Manchester United are leading by two goals away from home!
