Chapter 600 Heavy Rain! Penalty! On the Eve of the Manchester United vs. Real Madrid Highlight Match

"There was no offside!"

Azpilicueta approached the referee, wanting to help his team win back the goal.

"And don't look at that, our player got tripped!"

Azpilicueta pointed towards the six-yard box.

The situation was indeed a bit complicated. In addition to Pedro being offside, Batshuayi fell during his challenge with Bailly.

If Batshuayi hadn't been tripped by Bailly, he might have received the ball before Pedro, thus avoiding offside.

"Beep!"

Taylor blew his whistle to signal Manchester United to prepare for a set piece.

Chelsea players wanted Taylor to look at VAR, but Taylor refused.

"Fuck you!"

"Idiot! Taylor, are you a moron?!"

The fans are getting anxious.

The most entertaining part wasn't the fans' insults, but rather the fact that some fans held up signs in the stands criticizing Anthony Taylor.

The support signs were prepared well in advance, which shows that Chelsea fans had long anticipated that their team would be targeted by Taylor.

so horrible!
"xuuu!!!"

Chelsea fans shifted their attacks from Lampard to Taylor, and several Manchester United players were spared as a result.

37nd minute of the first half!

It's Dembele again!
Manchester United winger showcased his incredible dribbling skills, single-handedly bringing the ball to the byline and putting immense pressure on the defenders.

Azpilicueta was retreating, while Dembele relentlessly closed in.

Snapped!
A right-footed cross directly to Haller in the penalty area.

Haller returned the ball to him!
"I come!"

Signaling to his teammates to move aside, Tang Ye unleashed a long-range shot, which ultimately struck the goalkeeper and bounced out.

hiss!
The players from both sides were vying for the ball and collided, but in the end, Dembele sneaked into the penalty area and got the ball.

The moment Dembele received the ball, Tang Ye knew what his teammate was about to do, and decisively moved forward into the penalty area to take the ball from Dembele's feet.

Cross-positioning is just one version of the previous one.

Upon entering the penalty area, Tang Ye suddenly jumped up, tapped the ball with his left foot, and passed it to Dembele behind him.

Snapped!
Then, with another powerful shot, the ball found the net perfectly.

"The ball is in!"

"Dembele!"

"It's Dembele again!"

"2:0!"

"Well!"

Dembele scored twice in less than 40 minutes, making his performance in this match somewhat exaggerated.

"Roar!!!"

Tang Ye and Rashford ran off the field together, with Dembele already waiting in front of them.

Tang Ye and Dembele did not speak to each other, but knelt down almost simultaneously after standing face to face.

He knelt on one knee, covered his face with one hand, and hid the other hand behind his buttocks.

[Looking so handsome]

[Great job, Dembele! I've decided to temporarily increase his salary by 2000 million, making him 1.4 million now!]

[Dribbling with both feet is crucial. If Dembele gets his shooting touch right, his potential should be higher than Rashford's, but it's hard to say, as both of them are too inconsistent.]

[Tang, please stop being the center! How come you get assists in every game?!]

Those who don't understand football might think Manchester United has a huge advantage, but those who do know the game is already over: Manchester United 5-0 Chelsea!

The comments section was quite lively, and the situation on-site was similar.

Dembele raised his hands, raindrops hitting his face.

"The prodigy has found his old self at Manchester United," is a recent topic of discussion among Manchester United fans and even Premier League fans. But to be honest, in my and Coach Can's opinion, Dembele is still some distance from his Dortmund days.

Since joining Manchester United, Dembele's shooting has improved.

However, his dribbling efficiency is still not as good as it was during his time at Dortmund.

Osman was once the Bundesliga's dribbling king!
"Play it safe! Play more steadily from now on!"

Tang Ye remained calm and fulfilled his duties as captain.

Manchester United's current goal is to enter midfield with a two-goal lead!
Go Osman!

Tang Ye pushed Dembele back.

"..."

"Batshuayi, pass it to William."

boom!
William and Wan-Bissaka collided, and the ball flew up from the grass.

Azpilicueta arrived quickly and headed the ball powerfully into the penalty area.

That's a very imaginative move.

But there were no teammates to support him in the penalty area!

Azpilicueta slammed his foot on the grass in the six-yard box before being caught by De Gea.

"Fuck!"

"Beep, beep beep!!!"

The first half is over!

Immediately after the match ended, several Chelsea players went to find Taylor.

Tang Ye had relaxed after hearing the whistle, but seeing this scene, he ran over with Rashford.

"No, no, don't do this!"

Tang Ye blocked Azpilicueta and Pedro, preventing them from communicating with the referee.

We're at halftime now, and direct communication between players and the referee is not allowed.

If you chatted with the referee for a few minutes and the referee favored you in the second half, wouldn't that be outrageous?
"Stay calm, bro!"

……

"I feel like the referee was biased towards us today, but I don't know if it's just my imagination."

In the locker room, Tang Ye chatted with his teammates.

"Things like that happen, and sometimes it's biased towards the other side, but I'm not talking about this match."

Rashford said.

Manchester United sometimes gets favored by referees, and sometimes they are targeted by referees; this is something that all professional teams will encounter.

But Anthony Taylor was really ruthless today, favoring Manchester United for almost the entire first half.

Tang Ye thought of something and started searching on Baidu Baike.

Soon, something came to mind: "The internet says he was born in Manchester, could he be one of our fans?"

"What if they are Manchester City fans?"

Rashford laughed.

"That's possible, because I remember he messed with us before."

Tang Ye spoke softly, and soon Ten Hag signaled to everyone to stop worrying about the referee and focus on the game itself.

Chelsea's performance in this match was indeed mediocre, posing little threat. However, as regular football fans know, Manchester United often encounters problems in the second half this season because their tactical adjustments in midfield are not good enough.

As the team captain, Tang Ye must take the lead in managing the order in the locker room!

"I told you, Kanté is their key player. Their defense in the middle relies entirely on Kanté. As long as Kanté is there, it's very difficult for them to push forward or shoot from long range..."

While Ten Hah was speaking, Tang Ye heard the voice from the system.

You have received a new mission.

[Mission Objective: Score 3 goals or provide 3 assists]

[Mission Reward: Club Premium Chest *1]

It's like a side quest in an online game, popping up every now and then.

The reward level won't be too high, but if you're having trouble progressing through the main storyline, doing side quests to level up is a good option.

Simply put, side quests exist to complement the main quests.

Complete enough side quests so that you won't feel too much pressure when you're progressing through the main story.

For Tang Ye, these side quests with overlapping attributes are all preparations for winning the championship!

……

The second half has begun!

Chelsea made some changes to their lineup in the second half compared to the first half.

Giroud replaced the underperforming Batshuayi.

"Chelsea opted for a taller center forward, which I think Manchester United should be wary of. We know that Bailly and De Ligt's partnership isn't very strong, and they might expose some problems when facing a tough center forward..."

The rain in the second half was almost as heavy as in the first half, and even the water on the field was about the same as at the beginning of the first half.

However, the fans in the lower stands were under a lot of psychological pressure because the sky above the stadium was pitch black, with ridiculously thick clouds visible to the naked eye.

Boom! ! ! !

A bolt of lightning struck from afar, and the sky suddenly turned white.

Wow!!!

Fans in the stands took out their phones, and just two or three minutes later, the rain intensified.

Clap clap clap!

Clap clap clap clap!
As the rain started to fall, the fans quickly ran up to take shelter.

Of course, the players on the field had nowhere to take shelter from the rain, so they had to keep playing despite the downpour.

Rainwater got into his eyes, and Tang Ye quickly wiped them with his hands before passing the ball to the opponent.

Snapped!
A long pass found Rashford on the left wing.

Stop the ball with a stretched-out leg!

Rashford's outstretched foot didn't even touch the ball.

Fortunately, Tang Ye's pass hit a puddle, and the ball, deflected by the water, didn't bounce far before Rashford regained possession.

He dribbled the ball and drove straight in!

Rashford will take bigger steps than Dembele.

Because he lacks strong dribbling skills, Rashford will try his best to utilize his speed advantage. But overcoming Reece James won't be so easy.

boom!
The two collided and ran shoulder to shoulder towards the finish line.

Rashford didn't find an opportunity to stop, and the next second James did a split.

!

Without hesitation, I cut inside.

With heavy rain obstructing visibility, the advantage of Manchester United's red jerseys came into play.

Snapped!
The pass was pushed to the middle and went to McTominay!
McTominay takes the ball forward, intending to enter the penalty area directly.

They didn't get in, so they passed the ball back to Rashford.

Rashford then passed the ball back in a triangular pass to Tang Ye.

The rain was a bit too much. Fans with a bird's-eye view were okay, but players without a bird's-eye view were having a very tough time.

Inside the penalty area, neither Haller nor McTominay knew how to position themselves.

boom!
As the sound rang out, a ball suddenly slammed into a puddle in front of McTominay.

! !
After a brief moment of hesitation, McTominay received the ball and prepared to shoot, but was then bumped by a defender in the penalty area.

Beep! ! !
"Penalty!"

"That's a penalty!"

"McTominay has fallen to the ground!"

Reece James still didn't realize it, because he was the one who pushed McTominay down.

"I didn't use any force, it was just normal resistance!"

James shouted at the referee.

However, when defending, he is on the outside, and without a positional advantage, the defender has no choice but to suffer.

"It's definitely easy to slip in the rain, but even if Reece James hadn't bumped into them, Manchester United would probably still have scored, because McTominay was already near the six-yard box when he got the ball."

Dongqiudi Live Match Report: Tang Ye's long pass is precise and directs a penalty in the box, McTominay wins a penalty.

In the rain, Tang Ye's threat to the defense was amplified, and the penalty Manchester United won while leading 2-0 could very well become Chelsea's grave.

Manchester United's penalty opportunity is in Tang Ye's hands!

"call……"

It has been raining for more than 10 minutes now, but it shows no sign of stopping, and there is a lot of standing water in the restricted area.

Tang Ye placed the ball properly and stepped back to a suitable position.

In the footage, Tang Ye's hair was completely soaked, and rainwater was even sliding down his face.

"Beep!!!"

approach!

Take a small, quick hop.

Left foot or right foot?

Left foot!

Snapped!
A low shot was delivered.

Caballero guessed the direction correctly, but it didn't matter much; he still scored in the end.

"Roar!!!"

Tang Ye rushed off the field, raised his hands, and once he reached the right speed, he did a penguin dive.

boom!
Swish swish!
Naïve fans might think Tang Ye can only slide on his knees with his calves, but that's not the case; he can also slide with his chest pressed against the grass.

"Hmm, Tang Ye clearly has some training."

"Haha, that must be at least 10 meters long!"

That's just too strong!
The reason why we say Tang Ye has specifically practiced this move is because De Jong also skated it, but he just couldn't skate the same distance as Tang Ye.

"Roar!!!"

"Vamos!"

[Mission Progress: Goals (1/3) / Assists (0/3)]

Bang bang bang!
Because many people went to take shelter from the rain, there weren't many fans in the stands in front of Tang Ye.

This gives the illusion that Tang Ye's roar scared away the Chelsea fans.

"United!"

"We are United!"

"Forever United!"

Manchester United only has a few thousand fans, but their momentum was not weak at all after the goal.

"Vamos!"

De Jong jumped onto Tang Ye.

In the 67th minute, the score was 0-3, with Manchester United leading 3-0 away from home.

After the goal, Anthony Taylor blew the whistle to stop the game.

It's been raining non-stop, and there's thunder too, so we can't play now. We need to find shelter from the rain first.

……

Dongqiudi live match report: The Chelsea vs. Manchester United match was suspended for 30 minutes due to heavy rain.

[Just give Manchester United 3 points; Chelsea didn't deserve to win today.]

So, how do you plan to deal with Taylor's biased refereeing?

[Even Chelsea can't win, mainly because who can beat Manchester United on a rainy day? Tang Ye has opened up a new realm.]

[The game is paused for another 30 minutes; the 7 PM match is being played until tomorrow morning.]

[If they keep playing, it'll be a swimming competition; Tang Ye passed the ball to Ale before he could even react.]

After waiting for 15 minutes, the rain only lessened slightly, so we had no choice but to postpone it for another half hour.

After the rain turned into a light drizzle, the players from both sides finally returned to the field, but by then neither side had much fighting spirit left.

"..."

"The stadium lights are so bright, De Jong!"

"Pretty!"

De Jong sent a long pass forward, and Manchester United launched another attack.

But Manchester United quickly made a mistake and were outmaneuvered by Chelsea.

Kante capitalized on De Ligt's mistake, sending a through ball into the penalty area. Giroud controlled the ball and fired a shot with fluid movements, successfully bringing the score to 1-3.

Chelsea seem to be getting into form, but it's already the 83rd minute of the second half.

Unless Chelsea can score two goals in the remaining 10 minutes, they will not be able to get any points.

"..."

"De Rong"

"Wow!"

"Pretty!"

懂球帝战报：切尔西主场1：4不敌曼联，唐业2传1射+雨幕精准长传制导，麦克托米奈一线队生涯首次造点。（评论数78991）

After a quick shower and changing into dry clothes, Tang Ye and Dembele went to the press conference room together.

Click, click, click!

In the latest Transfermarkt market valuations, TY is ranked first globally with a projected market value of €2.4 million, while Dembele is ranked seventh with €1.2 million.

The reporter wanted to ask Tang Ye and Dembele about their current transfer market value, hoping to get their opinions on inflation directly from the players themselves.

However, to be honest, this reporter was being a bit presumptuous.

The combination of Tang Ye and Dembele is completely incapable of answering questions of this caliber.

Let's change the question.

Do you think you can return to your peak and become the new dribbling king of the Premier League?

When the reporter pointed the microphone at Dembele, Tang Ye's gaze also shifted to his teammate.

He was very arrogant when he spoke to Tang Ye, but he became conservative when facing the reporters' cameras.

"Maybe, I don't know."

Haha!

Tang Ye grinned, almost bursting out laughing.

Ottoman had only just finished showing off to himself!
Why do you become timid when there are cameras around?
It's not that Dembele is timid, it's just that he's much more cautious than Tang Ye, especially when facing questions from reporters.

"besides……"

"Your first Champions League knockout match of the season is coming up soon, and your opponent is Real Madrid."

Real Madrid are Manchester United's next opponent, and they are currently top of La Liga.

Reporters prefer to ask Manchester United players and coaches questions about the Champions League.

This is because this super club has not won the Champions League for 12 years, and last season Manchester United even fell in the quarterfinals, a result that many fans still cannot accept.

Manchester United and the Champions League are locked in a fierce battle!

"It definitely had some impact, because I still think we should have beaten Paris, but we didn't in the end."

"Was that loss a big blow to you?"

"Yes, of course, but I feel this season is different from last season."

Tang Ye is now answering reporters' questions, because Dembele was not personally involved in last season's Champions League defeat.

The reporter smiled and said, "Some fans believe Manchester United are cursed in the Champions League. They say this season's United will be eliminated in the round of 16 because their strength only applies to the Premier League, not the Champions League."

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye didn't say anything, but just laughed.

"Let's wait for the match, we'll know then. I don't know what to say right now."

……
