Chapter 608 Real Madrid drew the strongest team in the top tier (Bonus chapter, please vote!)

Top post on Dongqiudi: Manchester United vs. Real Madrid Champions League Round of 16 second leg is underway, current score 0-1, Manchester United trailing.

Live match report: Tang Ye's free kick was headed away by Varane, giving Manchester United a corner kick.

Another corner kick opportunity!

Manchester United were much more cautious this time, deliberately keeping Wan-Bissaka and Bailly in relatively deep positions, and giving Vinicius extra attention.

Having just learned their lesson, Manchester United must adjust quickly!

"Beep!"

A corner kick opportunity; Luke Shaw raises his left hand.

Snapped!
A corner kick is taken, with the target being De Ligt at the far post.

boom!
The Manchester United defender won the first ball this time, but his header was punched away by Courtois.

The first shot missed, but Dembele got to the ball on the second spot!

!!!

"Do not fight!"

Upon hearing Tang Ye's voice, Dembele feinted and cut back, stopping Ramos from trying to steal the ball.

boom!
Dembele was knocked down by Ramos.

It looks like a penalty kick?
But there's no rush to judge, because Dembele passed the ball before he went down, and Manchester United still have possession.

De Jong to Tang Ye!
"Go in! Go in!"

Tang Ye stood still while stepping on the ball, and gestured for De Jong to come up next to him.

Valverde came up to intercept, Tang Ye pulled the ball in a V-shape, then played a one-two with Rashford, and finally got into the penalty area.

Real Madrid's penalty area is in complete chaos right now!

Swish!

Tang Ye tossed out a fried meatball, dodging the defender's attempt to intercept.

"Do it!"

Tang Ye passed the ball to De Jong, who then hit it back.

De Jong was bumped and almost fell over.

This is Real Madrid's second foul in the penalty area!
Swing your left leg up!
A feint shot forced Varane to the ground.

Just when Real Madrid players thought Tang Ye was going to switch to his right foot to shoot, Dembele suddenly appeared from nowhere.

Tang Ye and Dembele exchanged glances, and the latter immediately understood what Tang Ye wanted to do.

Snapped!
Tang Ye made a pass with his left foot, and Dembele jumped up and passed the ball to De Ligt behind him.

Hey!

Snapped!
De Ligt delivered a cross from the right side of the penalty area.

They gave us the left-side pillar!
It looked like it was going out of bounds, but just before it did, McTominay rushed up and headed the ball powerfully.

boom!
"GOOOO-AAAAAA-LLLLLLL!!!!"

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"My God, Manchester United's goal, McTominay!!!"

Without any hesitation, McTominay immediately rushed towards the corner flag after scoring the goal.

Slide on your knees!

"Wow!!!!"

Wow!!!!

Fans stretched out their hands in McTominay's direction while chanting his name.

"I'm coming!"

Just as McTominay stood up, Tang Ye took a running start and jumped, successfully landing on top of his teammate.

"Haha!! Scott!!!"

Tang Ye hugged McTominay's head tightly and gave his teammate a big kiss on the hair.

"Damn it, ptooey!"

"Haha, Scott!!!"

A goal from Scott McTominay leveled the score at 1-1 for Manchester United.

McTominay's face was flushed, and he raised his right fist as if to proclaim his great achievements to the fans in the stands.

Did McTominay have any great achievements?
Of course he does!

This goal extinguished Real Madrid's momentum that had just begun to build.

Remembering Vinicius's earlier provocation, McTominay and Bailly walked right past Vinicius and casually reminded him, "Keep it down!"

"United!"

Boom!

"United!"

Bang bang bang!

After the restart, the fans were in high spirits, and a sea of ​​red rose from the stands, which is the true essence of Old Trafford.

"We are Manchester United, and we are on our way to Wembley!"

"Red Devils! Glorious Red Devils!"

"We are the invincible Red Devils!"

"..."

clap clap!

By alternating between his left and right feet, Tang Ye temporarily shook off Modric on the right wing.

Cut inside!

Modric followed, and Tang Ye pretended to continue cutting inside, but actually kept an eye on the defenders next to him.

It's now!

Seizing the opportunity, Tang Ye suddenly twisted his left foot.

By the time Modric saw the ball again, it was already between his legs.

That's a groin dribble!
"Oh!"

Tang Ye quickly changed direction to get past, but the next second he was taken down by Modric.

Yellow Card: Modric.

Modric stood still, pinching his nose with his hand.

It's clear he regrets his foul.

"Hey, actually, there was no need to pull that ball."

"Yes, because there aren't many good passing options up front, so we could have let Tang Ye go over there. But there's no reaction time; getting nutmegged would definitely be very stressful."

Fans often find it difficult to understand the feelings of the players on the field, which is why they may find Modric's fouls inexplicable.

The truth is, every single player on the field was incredibly nervous.

As a defender, if you get nutmegged in a crucial Champions League match, are you panicking?
Can't we stay calm?
"Come"

Modric pulled Tang Ye up, with the latter pressing his right hand onto his left.

"Ok?"

"Tang Ye, it looks like you're a little injured."

In the picture, Tang Ye's left elbow is clearly red, which means he has scraped his skin.

"are you OK?"

The referee came over, and Tang Ye indicated that it didn't matter, but the referee still let the team doctor enter the field.

This is because of a new rule that FIFA introduced last year, which requires players to leave the field for treatment if they bleed, in order to prevent the spread of blood diseases on the field.

"xuuu!!!"

Modric immediately received special treatment from Manchester United fans.

"Rubbish!"

"Fuck you!"

"..."

The game continued, and Tang Ye was on the sidelines, where the team doctor was wiping him with iodine and then bandaging him with a waterproof bandage.

Tang Ye had no time to deal with his left hand, because Van der Gach was talking to him with a small notebook in hand: "The main thing is to attack the right side, let Dembele go for it, and then you have to make sure Alle is there before passing, otherwise Dembele's run will be in vain."

"Consider conserving your energy; we might have to take a penalty kick."

"no no no"

Tang Ye quickly shook his head: "There won't be a penalty, trust me, Michel."

"Ha ha"

Van der Gach punched Tang Ye in the chest: "Go for it!"

After washing his hands with water, Tang Ye returned to the court after receiving permission.

"TangYe!"

"TangYe!"

"..."

"Kroos! Hey, good shot!"

Kroos made a brilliant pass, finding Vinicius in the attacking third with a precise through ball. Vinicius then used his speed to his advantage, leaving McTominay with absolutely no chance to defend.

The ball is then passed to Benzema near the baseline!

Benzema stopped the ball with his foot, thought for a moment, and then delivered a high cross.

Look at Mendy!
Jump up!
Mendy jumped, but Bailly jumped first and headed the ball away.

"Wow! Bailly, that was a very timely clearance! Manchester United are out of danger..."

Before the commentator could finish speaking, a crisp "snap" sound rang out. From 5 or 6 meters away from the top of the arc, Modric volleyed out with the outside of his foot.

!

"what!"

De Gea jumped out, but Modric's world-class shot was perfectly angled.

There's absolutely no way!

"The ball is in!"

"Haha, what's this!"

"Modric, a wonder goal!"

With his arms outstretched and wearing a headband, Modric ran into his teammate's arms.

"Luca!"

Vinicius held his head in his hands, his mind filled with Modric's long-range shot.

【? ? ? ? ? 】

[Awesome, Modric!]

【No? Well... okay, there's nothing to say about that, it's not De Gea's fault】

[This was clearly McTominay's problem, why couldn't he stop Vinicius?]

Holy crap, it's going to explode!

From 1-1 to 1-2, it was a near-unsolvable outside-of-the-foot world-class goal.

"Beep beep beep!!!!"

Tang Ye stood there, shook his head, and then talked to his teammates: "It's okay, it's okay, we passed the ball, there's nothing we can do about it."

"Just play well, it's okay!"

Tang Ye put his hand on Bai Li's shoulder and gestured for everyone to cheer up.

He raised both hands: "We can win! We can win!"

……

Dongqiudi Halftime Report: Manchester United trailed 1-2 at halftime. McTominay equalized with a header, but Modric regained the lead with a stunning outside-of-the-foot shot.

In just 5 minutes, there are already 9000 comments under the halftime report.

Keep in mind that this is 4 a.m. in China!
However, it must be said that this match was indeed full of highlights, with the cursed Premier League kings on one side and the team with the most Champions League titles on the other.

"..."

The home team's locker room was quiet; the players were in a bad mood.

Let's not even talk about the damage that the spectacular goal caused to Manchester United players.

With Real Madrid scoring their second goal, Manchester United's advantage from the first leg vanished.

Both teams have 2 away goals!
"We played very well, let's stop thinking about that goal!"

"Teng Hah shouted."

Although he often scolded his players, he knew that in this situation, he had to boost their confidence: "They mainly rely on Vinicius's attacks. You don't need to focus too much on Benzema; the key is to cut off the connection between their two wingers and Benzema!" "..."

Tactics are one aspect, but as the team captain, Tang Ye also needs to say a few words.

clap clap!

"come on! Come on!"

"Come on, Frenkie (De Jong), hurry up!"

The players came to the center, and Tang Ye first put his hands together and prayed softly.

He never believed in the existence of God or gods, but doing so would make him feel more at ease.

"It's the last game of the month. If we lose, we'll be in a bad mood for the rest of the month."

"I still want to play in the Champions League; it's too early to be eliminated now."

"3, 2, 1..."

The players took a deep breath, pushing their momentum to the limit.

"come on!"

……

"China Media Group, welcome back. This is Manchester United, Real Madrid, and the Champions League..."

"In the first half, Real Madrid took the lead thanks to Modric's stunning goal, but in high-level matches like this, you have to watch the whole game to know the final result."

Both teams' benches were packed with people, with the head coaches ready to respond to any unexpected situations on the field.

McTominay intercepted Courtois' long pass in the backfield and headed the ball away.

Luke Shaw has the ball!
"Forward! Forward! Pass it on!"

With Ten Hag's urging voice in his ears, Luke Shaw took a few quick steps before passing the ball.

They're looking for De Jong!
A classic ball control maneuver to get past defenders, followed by a turn and an immediate search for Tang Ye.

However, Tang Ye was almost completely locked down by Kroos and Vinicius, and there was no way to pass the ball.

That means the only option is to give it to Rashford!

Rashford dribbles the ball himself!

"Pass him, pass him!"

"Hurry up, Marcus!"

The fans were cheering, and Rashford, cutting inside, delivered a cross that hit a defender's hand.

"Fuck!"

Rashford put his hands behind his head.

The passing route was all planned out, but we still managed to miss such a great opportunity!

"United!"

"Man United!"

A set piece in the attacking third, let's see how Manchester United handles it.

This time, Tang Ye and De Rong were chosen to stand together.

There are two possibilities for this ball: a direct shot or a cross.

"Come"

Tang Ye pulled De Rong to his left, and the two covered their mouths to talk.

I took my position, facing the wall of players and Courtois defending the Real Madrid goal.

Thump thump!
Tang Ye could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

"Beep!!!"

"De Jong's running start!"

De Jong ran out first, and he chose to hit the ball.

But instead of crossing, De Jong stepped on the ball and flicked it backward.

He's setting up the ball for Tang Ye!
Tang Ye!

Faced with a chaotic human wall, Tang Ye ran while thinking.

There are a total of 7 routes, including 2 direct shots and 5 crosses...

Both Varane and Ramos are excellent headers, but Varane's jumping speed is slightly higher than Ramos'...

Got it!

His eyes suddenly lit up because Tang Ye had found the most suitable route.

Snapped!
The pass is delivered with a slight topspin.

Dembele!
Tang Ye's pass almost touched the right post.

Dembele suddenly appeared and jumped up to head the ball.

Many people believe that Dembele has no heading ability, but this is actually a misconception.

The ball went in!
A goal from Ousmane Dembélé!
Manchester United have pulled the score back again!
"Dembele!!!"

"What an amazing corporation from Man United! (A truly outstanding collaboration!)"

De Jong feints a pass, Tang Ye delivers a precise cross, and then Dembele appears out of nowhere.

It was a very simple set piece, but Manchester United had actually performed exceptionally well in every position.

la la la!
They hopped and jumped, and then jumped together once they were completely face to face.

boom!
Tang Ye and Dembele collided.

"wowhoo!"

You have gained 15 comeback points.

"I really didn't expect Dembele's header."

"Haha, both of Manchester United's goals today were headers!"

The score is now 2-2, and Manchester United have scored a total of 4 goals over the two legs.

After taking the lead, McTominay and Dembele ran up to Vinicius and made a "4" gesture with their hands, after which Vinicius complained about them.

Fortunately, nothing serious happened in the end; it would have been terrible if it had been called a foul.

"come on! Come on!"

"Get ready to kick off," Tang Ye said to his teammates.

We already have an advantage, so we must not make any mistakes in the final moments.

Having played in the Premier League for almost three seasons, Tang Ye understands this principle all too well.

With 70 minutes remaining, both sides made substitutions simultaneously.

Real Madrid changed their striker, and so did Manchester United.

Greenwood replaced Rashford, simply giving the winger a much-needed boost in stamina.

In addition, Ziyech was waiting on the sidelines; he was there to replace Haller.

However, there is no rush now, because if Real Madrid strengthens their attack after making substitutions, then Ten Hag will have to reserve his spot for the defense.

Let Ashley Young come up and have some fun!

[Brothers, I think we can substitute Tang Ye, since he stopped tracking back to defend in the second half anyway.]

[Are your private messages flooded, upstairs?]

Come on, Zidane! Hurry up and bring in a new striker!

The match has entered its most crucial stage, which should be the time when both sides are almost exhausted.

But today's match was very different; after 75 minutes, both sides played even more aggressively.

They are all the top teams in their respective leagues, so their ability to fight a long battle is beyond question!
boom!
It's now the 89th minute of the second half, and a significant number of Manchester United fans have already started celebrating, because for Manchester United today, a 2-2 draw is already a victory.

Valverde cleared the ball, and at that moment the fourth official finally raised the sign indicating the stoppage time.

【4: 00】

There are 4 minutes of added time.

"Eh!"

Real Madrid staff, of course, didn't hesitate. They surrounded the fourth official as stoppage time approached: "So many yellow cards, and only 4 minutes of stoppage time? Only 4 minutes?"

"Hey, at least 5 minutes!"

Every minute is crucial for Real Madrid at this moment.

On the field!

Finding the right opportunity, Tang Ye made a cross-run with Ziyech and regained possession of the ball when he was already at the left baseline.

Snapped!
A cross from the byline!
It bounced off the ground inside the penalty area and landed right between Courtois and Haller.

!

Ale rushed forward and knelt down on both knees in an attempt to reach the ball with his head.

boom!
The header hit Courtois' knee, then bounced off and struck Haller.

Before Haller could react, the ball bounced again and successfully entered the net.

The ball went in!
"GOOOO-AAAAA-LLLLLL!!!"

"Alai!"

"3:2!"

"3:2!"

The fact that the commentator shouted twice in a row is enough to show how excited he was.

Manchester United are really something else. They managed to score a goal against Real Madrid when it was clearly a counter-attack opportunity.

Haller's knee was in pain, but as the goal was scored, the rapid release of adrenaline suppressed his pain.

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye ran over from outside the penalty area and wrapped his arms around Ale's head.

"Tom!"

"Haha, Seba, the winning goal!"

The two knelt in Real Madrid's penalty area, and Tang Ye kissed Ale's head.

"Bang bang bang!"

Manchester United!

"We are the red Manchester United!"

"We're on our way to Wembley!"

"Manchester United! Red Manchester United! The legendary Manchester United!"

"..."

"Beep, beep beep—!!!"

The match ended with Manchester United defeating Real Madrid at Old Trafford with a score of 5-3 on aggregate.

The big screen shows the away team's stands.

Despite losing the game, at least 80% of Real Madrid fans did not leave immediately. They stood there motionless with serious expressions, and many of them shed tears.

They are out!
And they were eliminated in the round of 16!

This is completely unacceptable to Real Madrid fans, yet it is indeed the truth.

"Wow!"

Tang Ye jumped up on the grass and gathered with his teammates in the middle of the court.

"Osman, I'll lead you to victory!"

"I'll lead you to victory!"

"I'll take you, so don't say anything more."

Tang Ye pushed Dembele toward the passageway.

……

Click, click, click!

"Yes, I'm happy to have this victory, but in fact, my players and I had expected this result."

"We had a bad draw because Real Madrid was almost the strongest team in the second pot (the second-placed teams in the group that advance to the knockout stage)."

Ten Hach extended his right hand and turned his palm over under the reporters' gaze.

"But we need to look at the issue from another perspective. Actually, compared to Real Madrid, we were quite lucky."

"Huh? Why?"

The reporter was surprised.

"Because we drew the strongest team from the second tier, while Real Madrid drew the strongest team from the first tier."

Click!

Click, click, click!
