Chapter 588 Hat Trick! First Battle of 2020: Slaying the Gunner! (Bonus Chapter, Please Vote!)

Dongqiudi live match report: Özil's through ball accurately found Aubameyang, but the subsequent shot went wide.

"Oh!"

Arsenal fans held their heads in their hands.

"Aim carefully!"

"Attack the goal! The goal! Not ours!"

"Score one quickly, or we'll lose!"

Arsenal's performance this season has not been very good, which has made Arsenal fans a little anxious.

But there's no use in being anxious.

Today's opponent is Manchester United, and it won't be easy to get points from them.

Just two minutes after Aubameyang took the shot, Manchester United launched their attack.

This time, De Jong is in charge of pushing it forward.

With De Jong on the pitch, Manchester United's pace of play noticeably increased.

Snapped!
A long pass finds Haller at the front, who, with his back to two defenders, holds off the defenders and then passes the ball to Dembele who comes to receive it.

It worked!
Although Haller's goal-scoring frequency has clearly decreased since joining the Premier League, his role as a target man as a 1.9+ meter center forward has not been weakened by the Premier League.

Dembele is starting to overexert himself!
They moved very fast, aiming straight for the right baseline.

Dembele cuts inside after a dribble and begins to put pressure on Kolasinac.

Given the familiar scenario and Dembele's exceptional dribbling skills, Kolasinac must maintain a safe distance.

This maintained distance gave Dembele the opportunity to continue moving closer to the penalty area.

By constantly forcing his opponent to retreat, Dembele slowly approached the penalty area.

At this point, retreat was no longer an option; Kolasinac prepared to press forward.

Snapped!
Dembele delivered a cross, and the ball once again fell to Haller's feet.

Alai then gave Tang Ye the rest of the way!
Tang Ye adjusted his position by dribbling the ball, feigning a shot, and then deliberately feinted past the defender as he approached.

Then run into the restricted area!
Wow!!!

Tang Ye's dribbling and passing move – let's see how he's going to do it!

"Marcus!"

At his shout, Rashford immediately shook off the defender and came up.

As a result, Rashford was knocked down...

Since Manchester United has possession, the referee is not in a hurry to blow the whistle.

Tang Ye!

Adjusting his direction, Tang Ye passed the ball from his right foot to his left.

then!

Snapped!
The shot was delivered, and the ball grazed the left post and went into the net.

The ball went in!
The second goal of the match!

It's still from Tang Ye!
"Roar!!!"

The Manchester United players celebrated passionately after the sliding knee pass.

"Tom!"

Two goals in 30 minutes, and against Arsenal no less. Tang Ye's form this year seems a bit too exaggerated.

The camera first focused on Arteta, and after seeing the Arsenal manager's dark expression, it then focused on Leno.

Arsenal's goalkeeper needs a break.

Actually, he felt that Tang Ye's shooting was not strong, but for some reason, Leno had a very strange feeling.

It was as if Tang Ye knew what he could see and what he couldn't see.

Tang Ye knew that Leno would not be able to see the ball for a certain moment, so he took the shot at that exact moment.

Dude, this isn't how you put yourself in someone else's shoes, is it?
The shot, which was originally just over 80, was artificially raised to nearly 90.

A 90-shot rating isn't exaggerated, but a midfielder with a 90-shot rating is extremely rare...

It's the 36th minute of the first half.

Arsenal wanted to regain control of the game, so they inevitably increased the number of fouls on Tang Ye, which in turn affected other Manchester United players.

Dembele was repeatedly knocked to the ground, and the conflict finally erupted.

Tang Ye shrugged helplessly, while Ashley Young had already started fighting with the other side.

"Their man deserves a yellow card. This isn't the first time, it's not the first time, okay, referee?"

Ashley Young moved forward step by step, but ultimately failed to persuade the referee to show a card.

"You tell us!"

Ashley Young approached Tang Ye, who is currently Manchester United's captain.

"call……"

Although they were leading 2-0, Arsenal's frequent fouls made Manchester United players a little anxious.

"It's okay, it's okay, calm down."

Rhodes pulled Ashley Young back, who kept shouting encouragement.

Ashley Young was furious, so he wanted to score another goal against them.

Tang Ye remained silent, as he was contemplating how to break Arsenal's midfield pressing.

Özil and Torreira's double-teaming him was a huge headache, and sometimes even the opposing center-backs would come out to cause him trouble...

"..."

"Pepe"

"GOOOO-AAAAA-LLLLLL!!!"

"The ball is in!"

"1:2!"

Arsenal have pulled one back!

After taking a two-goal lead, Tang Ye's Red Devils became somewhat complacent, while Arsenal seized the opportunity with great shrewdness.

"Beep, beep beep!!"

1-2, that was the score at the end of the first half, with Manchester United leading by one goal.

"Tom!"

As soon as the referee blew the whistle, Ashley Young immediately came to find Tang Ye.

"What's wrong, Yang..."

Before Tang Ye could finish speaking, Ashley Yang had already placed his hand on his shoulder: "You're the captain, captain."

"You need to come up here when they're arguing with the other side, hurry up!"

When the two sides clashed in the first half, Tang Ye did not go to support them immediately, which made Ashley Young very unhappy.

"I didn't go because there were so many of you. I was mainly thinking about something..."

"This has nothing to do with the number of people."

Ashley Young sighed: "You're the captain, so you have to come up here. They're trying to push Dembele, you have to go up and push them away!"

"And during the game, if you notice someone isn't playing well, you should call out to them. We need to play steadily to win!"

Ashley Young patted Tang Ye's left arm, where his captain's armband was: "If you see anyone not back on defense, you have to shout a couple of times. I'm too far back, they won't hear me if I shout!"

Actually, this wasn't the first time Ashley Young had mentioned this to Tang Ye, but he had only mentioned it briefly during casual conversations over meals before, and because of that, Tang Ye hadn't really paid attention.

Ashley Young knew he needed to shout something.

"Hoo... um"

Tang Ye nodded slightly, then shook his head: "But I was thinking about something, otherwise they would keep stealing the ball from my midfield."

"I know, I know, but when it's important, don't worry about your own things. You're the captain, Tom. Think about the team first!"

"Make sure the overall look is good, then you can look for the details."

"You're already very capable. It's hard to improve, but you can just let us know you want to retreat, and we'll all listen to you."

"This……"

"All right"

Tang Ye nodded; this time he truly took Ashley Young's words to heart.

GGBond has played for Manchester United for three years and has a lot of influence within the team; the Manchester United players all listen to him.

We must make good use of this right to speak.

Moreover, Yang is absolutely right.

The team should be the priority, and Tang Ye needs to fulfill his responsibility of reminding his teammates.

It's not enough to just have teammates come over and cooperate with him. Tang Ye should teach them when to track back and how to adjust their positioning for corner kicks. That's what a captain should do.

Tang Ye was walking towards the players' tunnel, with Ashley Young pushing him from behind.

Keep it up, Tom!

……

The second half has begun.

Because of Pepe's goal, Manchester United started playing a little more cautiously, aiming to wear down Arsenal's excitement after their goal.

Özil...

Direct free kick!
Snapped!
De Gea punched the ball away, and the Manchester United penalty area instantly descended into chaos.

Try and grab it!
Aubameyang got the first ball and took a shot before he could even adjust his body.

boom!
Aubameyang's shot hit De Ligt!
The ball was hit.

Tang Ye got the ball back, but Arsenal players who came up later took it away again.

Depend on!
A long pass was lobbed to the left baseline.

Kolasinac has the ball!
Snapped!
The cross indicates that Lacazette will attempt to score in the middle.

Shoot!

Snapped!
This time, it was Wan-Bissaka who came to the rescue!

Counterattack! Counterattack!

"Arsenal played a bit too hastily."

"Yes, it would have been much better to pass the ball to Pepe on the right, who was unmarked..." "Manchester United counter-attack!"

Wan-Bissaka passed the ball to Rodri, who initially shielded the ball with his back to goal.

The ball is passed back to De Ligt.

It's up to De Ligt!
Should we pass to Ashley Young or just pass it forward?
The Manchester United center-back's final option was to pass the ball directly forward.

Give them a big foot, find Dembele!
Stop the ball!

Dembele's one-on-one dream was shattered as he failed to touch the ball.

But that's okay, we can take it slow...

"..."

"Tang Ye!"

"A cross from a 45-degree angle!"

The cross was sent into the penalty area, aimed directly at Rodri.

Header!

boom!
The ball went in!
A goal from Rodri!

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye raised his hands, waiting for Rodri to run towards him.

Just when Rodri was less than 10 meters away from Tang Ye, the referee blew the whistle.

VAR determined that Rodri's header was an offside goal.

"Depend on!"

Tang Ye and Rodri ran towards the referee together: "No, there was no offside!"

“var, var!”

The referee pointed to his headset: "If it's offside, let me know backstage. VAR has ruled it."

"No, don't believe that!"

Tang Ye pointed to his eyes: "Look at my eyes, sir, look at my eyes! There was no offside, I'm not lying to you! There was no offside!"

Tang Ye was a bit stubborn, but in the end, his and Rodri's complaints were unsuccessful.

Hey……

It's a pity about Rod.

Tang Ye put his hands on his hips.

Rodri was just a hair's breadth away from scoring.

But there are just too many things that are just a little bit off in football.

Tang Ye was about to shake his head and sigh, but then he remembered what Ashley Young had told him, and he suddenly perked up.

"it's okay no problem!"

"3:1! 3:1!"

Tang Ye mimicked Ashley Young's tone: "Raise your head, raise your head, Ottoman! I'm talking to you!"

Tang Ye is now like a very strict homeroom teacher, criticizing all the students who don't look up at the blackboard.

In the 71st minute of the second half, Arsenal also scored an offside goal.

Unlike Manchester United's offside, Arsenal's goal was offside by a full 2 ​​meters, so the linesman could make the decision without needing VAR.

Possession was awarded to Manchester United.

Snapped!
De Gea launched a long pass.

The ball flew very high, and the camera followed it slowly.

Okay, it was delivered perfectly to Özil's feet.

I rely on!

"A huge, absolutely enormous mistake!"

"De Gea passed the ball directly to the opponent!"

Özil received the ball and ran forward, while Arsenal players were also pressing forward.

They were all prepared to defend, but suddenly they switched to attack, and every Arsenal player is running very hard.

Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up!
"Lean on me! Lean on me!"

Rodri gestured for De Jong to go to Aubameyang, while he himself made his way towards Özil.

boom!
Rodri tackled the ball, and at the same time Özil passed it to Aubameyang.

De Jong took a big step forward and got the ball before Aubameyang could.

Well!
"Come!"

Tang Ye glanced back, then reached out towards De Rong.

Because of interference from a defender, De Jong launched a high ball.

To Tang Ye!
I'm coming!

Tang Ye spread his arms, preparing to stop the ball with his chest.

Just as the ball flew in front of him, Tang Ye suddenly lifted his left foot.

Snapped!
Kick the ball directly behind you!
"Hey, what's this?!"

"He just went straight for her... oh, he just hung her down!"

Taking advantage of the opponent's aggressive pressing forward, Tang Ye lobbed the ball into the net with his back to goal without stopping it.

The ball was thrown very hard, and it flew very high.

"Wow!!!!"

Rashford and Dembele tried to chase, but quickly realized the ball wasn't for them.

They were offside by the defense!

"The goalkeeper is in pursuit!"

At the limit of the distance, Leno jumped up and reached out to touch it, but he was still about half a meter short.

Snapped!
The ball bounced twice on the ground before entering the goal line.

The ball went in!
"The ball is in!"

"Oh, Tang Ye!"

"That's a half-court lob!"

"Yes, and with his back to the goal..."

"Arsenal goalkeeper made a super, super, super huge mistake!"

It was a mistake, but it's impossible to definitively say it was the goalkeeper's fault.

Because any normal player wouldn't play like that.

Unfortunately, GGBond is not a normal person to begin with.

He scored a similar goal once before while playing in La Liga.

So it happened twice in total, but this time it came closer than the La Liga one.

【hat trick……】

That's a hat trick!

Tang Ye jumped up, landed, and then ran towards the bench.

boom!
Tang Ye and Teng Hahe collided, and the latter was knocked to the ground.

"Hey, Mr. Eric!"

"Ha ha"

Tang Ye quickly helped Ten Hah up from the ground, hugged him, and then went down to the bottom of the podium.

"Go up! Go up!"

Ashley Young's voice came from behind him. Tang Ye stepped onto the advertising board and spread his arms to the Arsenal fans.

"It's a hat trick!"

3: 1!

Whether Manchester United has a guaranteed win is unclear, but Arsenal is definitely drifting further and further away from victory.

Snapped!
Tang Ye jumped down from the billboard and clapped with his teammates.

Thinking of something, Tang Ye turned back to face the home team's stands and bowed very politely.

It seems like he's expressing remorse for his hat trick, but it's actually just him showing off.

"Tom!"

"viva TomTom! Forever TomTom!"

Bang bang bang bang!

"..."

"While this might offend some Arsenal fans, the fact is that, based on the current situation on the field, the starting players of both sides are no longer on the same level."

"Yes"

CCTV commentators divided all 20 teams in the current Premier League into 5 groups.

Manchester United and Liverpool are in the top group, the title contenders.

Manchester City is in the second tier. The entire second tier only has Manchester City as a team. They are weaker than the first tier, but significantly stronger than the three tiers behind them.

Then there's the third group: Chelsea, Wolves, Leicester City, Tottenham, Arsenal... from fourth to tenth in the standings, these are all teams in the third group.

The fourth group consists of teams like Bournemouth, ranging from 10th to 17th place.

The last three teams, ranked 18th, 19th, and 20th, form the fifth group, which consists of teams struggling to avoid relegation.

Manchester United and Arsenal are both members of the Big Six, so they seem to be evenly matched.

But from another perspective.

Let's look at the issue from the perspective of team ranking.

Manchester United belongs to the first group, while Arsenal belongs to the third group.

There's a difference of two whole levels, so the gap between the two sides is quite large.
