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

Chapter 613 Winning this match will make us the Premier League champions
The stands remained closed, and the stadium was quiet without fans.

However, from another perspective, a quiet environment allows players to focus on the game, which indirectly increases the competitive and entertaining aspects of the match.

"Look at me, look at me!"

Signaling to his teammates to prepare to receive the pass, Tang Ye suddenly passed the ball to Ziyech on the left and then accelerated towards the baseline.

A sudden, cross-cutting run from Manchester United's attacking third.

We've reached the bottom line...

With defenders in front and behind, there were only two options for handling the ball.

One option is to pass the ball out before it gets close to the defender in front, and the other is to stop abruptly to protect the ball.

But for Tang Ye, there was only one way to handle this ball.

Snapped!
[De Bruyne's cross from the byline lv5: Replica (Beyond the current state)]

Proficiency: 1572/3500
Cross the ball to Greenwood coming down the right wing!
It was a very precise passing position; whether it results in a goal depends on Greenwood's execution...

Chest control!

Greenwood passed the ball from his right foot to his left, taking a step towards the center to prepare for a shot.

Snapped!
He attempted a curling shot, but it was blocked by a defender.

Crystal Palace's rescue attempt was not entirely successful!
"Come!"

Rodri, having received the ball, decisively passed it to Tang Ye with a short through ball.

Tang Ye!

He pretended to cross from the byline, but Tang Ye actually made a very decisive right-footed rabona.

"The ball is in!"

"Tang Ye!"

"Wow, beautiful!"

"A truly imaginative goal!"

Although the shot wasn't aimed into a blind spot, Tang Ye's shot was indeed very sudden, so sudden that even the highly focused goalkeeper didn't have time to block it.

1: 0!

Manchester United are in the lead!

"Ha ha!"

As Tang Ye jogged slowly away from the stands, he gestured to his teammates with his index finger, saying, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

"Wow!"

Ziyech promptly lay down on the ground, while Tang Ye stood with his legs apart, then made a casting motion.

Manchester United's signature fishing celebration is back!
"Wow!"

As Tang Ye pulled up the fishing rod, Ziyech was lifted up by his teammates and brought to Tang Ye.

Several Manchester United players in the video are visibly happy, and Erik ten Hag is no exception.

This goal kept Ten Hag smiling for almost three minutes.

The time quickly reached 30 minutes, and Manchester United were still leading by one goal. A ranking was displayed in the lower left corner of the broadcast screen.

2019-2020 Premier League standings (if the score remains unchanged until the end):

1. Manchester United, 98 points. (36 rounds, title secured early)

2. Liverpool, 87 points. (35 rounds)
3. Manchester City, 74 points. (36 rounds)
4. Chelsea, 65 points. (36 rounds)
5. Leicester City, 53 points. (35 rounds)
The phrase "winning the championship ahead of schedule" has caught the attention of fans.

This is a reminder from the broadcaster and CCTV Sports.

Tell the fans that if the 1-0 score holds until the end, the Premier League champion will be crowned today!
[Keep it up!]

Manchester United are awesome!

Wow, that's ruthless! Even their substitute wingers are this ruthless. Manchester United are truly invincible.

[The odds for a straight win aren't even 1.1, just declare the champions already. I bet 300 on Manchester United winning the Premier League title and haven't cashed out yet.]

Manchester United fans are quite arrogant, and of course, the team's current performance is enough to justify their behavior.

98 points in 36 rounds, if you don't show off, who will?
boom!
Tang Ye and Zaha bumped into each other.

Because the opponent wanted to launch a counterattack, Tang Ye chose to pull Zaha down directly.

The sound of a player falling to the ground could be heard.

"Beep!!!"

The referee promptly blew his whistle and showed Tang Ye a yellow card.

Yellow Card: Tang Ye.

After receiving the yellow card, a dark box popped up in the lower center of the screen, with words written in English inside.

[Missed next match]

Missed the next game.

This is because Tang Ye's accumulated yellow cards have reached a certain threshold, so he cannot play in the next match.

"Eh"

"Actually, I feel that Dembele should have started in today's match, and Tang Ye should have been on the bench."

Yes, that's right.

"But now we've reached round 36, and Tang Ye's accumulated yellow cards can't be cleared. Unless he doesn't get any more yellow cards, he'll be suspended for just one."

Manchester United received the first yellow card of the match, and Tang Ye was also suspended for one game.

But to be honest, it doesn't matter. Neither the Manchester United players nor the coaching staff were affected by this.

Anyway, Tang Ye was going to be rested for the next game, so a suspension would be a good way to clear out his cards.

"Crystal Palace's set piece..."

"..."

"They played a through ball straight from the backfield!"

"That through ball seems a bit too far!"

The through pass seemed too far, but a scene that quickly shocked the fans appeared: Jordan Ayew started from the right sideline, rushed out for almost 20 meters and got the ball.

!!!

Realizing the situation was dire, Manchester United immediately began to retreat and defend.

"hurry up!"

The head coach was urging him on, and Ayew was unleashing his maximum speed when running with the ball.

The target is the right baseline!
Crossing directly from the byline is not a smart choice. Ayew's approach was to deliver a 45-degree cross, passing the ball to Zaha in the middle.

"Take a look!"

De Ligt pointed out that Zaha took the ball and ran into the penalty area.

good chance!
De Ligt suddenly stretched out his foot and punched the ball away with a "thud".

Successfully rescued!

But Manchester United soon ran into trouble.

De Ligt's kick landed right at McCarthy's feet, and the Crystal Palace player promptly unleashed a powerful shot.

The ball shot off in the opposite direction, flying straight toward the goal.

Because it's a bouncing ball, the ball speed is ridiculously fast.

boom!
"GOOOO-AAAAAA-LLLLL!!!"

The ball went in!
A goal from McCarthy!

Crystal Palace have equalized!
"Roar!!!!"

McCarthy's roar could be heard from the scene.

Being able to open the scoring against Manchester United is a remarkable achievement in recent seasons.

Crystal Palace players celebrated wildly, while Tang Ye stood just outside the edge of the penalty area, staring at De Ligt inside the box.

"..."

De Ligt was somewhat embarrassed: "I don't know, I don't know..."

Tang Ye let out a long sigh of relief, shook his head, and then high-fived De Ligt: "It's okay, it's okay, just one more goal will do."

Back to the game, it's clear that the Manchester United coaching staff is visibly tense.

The difference between 1:0 and 1:1 is too great.

"If it's just a 1-1 draw, then Manchester United can't directly secure the Premier League title after this match; they still need to see Liverpool's result..."

"Yes, I think there's something wrong with Ten Hag's starting lineup selection..."

The CCTV commentator pointed the finger at Ten Hag.

With Rashford and Dembele both on the bench, Manchester United lost their offensive threat.

Although Ziyech and Greenwood are both formidable, the gap between them and 100 million-dollar wingers is actually quite large.

44th minute of the first half.

Seizing on the opponent's lapse in concentration, Zaha suddenly changed direction and cut inside, then received a through pass from his teammate.

!!!

Snapped!
The shot was curled towards Luke Shaw, but the ball struck his hand.

"Oh! Fuck!"

Rodri put his hands behind his head.

Something seems off.
The camera pans to the penalty area, where the referee, who has rushed over, is considering his options.

The penalty rules have changed somewhat since the restart of the season. If an arm is naturally outstretched, it doesn't matter if it touches the ball, and the attacking team won't be awarded a penalty. The referee came to the sidelines and reviewed the goal on the VAR device.

"be careful!"

Rodri yelled at his players on the field: "We're fucking messed up, messed up! Play more steadily!"

Just as Rodri shouted, the Manchester United players' performance in this game was subpar.

The championship trophy is right in front of us.

The magic of trophies is immense, so much so that it can influence the performance of Manchester United players on the field.

"Beep!!!"

The referee drew a box on the screen.

Penalty decisions have become stricter, but Luke Shaw's handball was definitely a penalty.

"Depend on"

With their arms swinging, Tang Ye and Rodri were under immense pressure.

They were the two key players in this game, tasked with leading the team to victory, but they clearly failed to accomplish their mission.

Dongqiudi Halftime Report: Defensive performance was poor! Manchester United were down 1-2 to Crystal Palace at halftime, with McCarthy scoring a world-class goal and Luke Shaw conceding a penalty for handball.

During the 15-minute halftime break, Ten Hag spent a full 10 minutes hurling insults at people.

Tang Ye spoke for the other 5 minutes.

"You can't think about winning the championship while you're playing. A game is a game; the championship comes after the game."

Tang Ye looked at De Ligt and Luke Shaw, who were the culprits in today's match.

"Just play it safe, just play it safe."

"Pass the ball when you should pass it, and track back when you should track back. We can easily beat Crystal Palace, can't we?"

Go Crystal Palace!

Liverpool fans slide on their knees in a formation!

As you know, I've always been a Crystal Palace fan.

Don't slide too early, Manchester United will definitely need to make substitutions in the second half.

The fans' prediction was correct. At the start of the second half, Manchester United made two substitutions, bringing on Dembele and Martial, which immediately raised the intensity of their attack to a new level.

"..."

"Tang Ye, find Dembele!"

"That pass was alright, but it was below Tang Ye's usual standard!"

After 70 minutes of play, fatigue can affect the accuracy of a player's passing and shooting.

Manchester United need to hurry if they want to take the lead!

Dembele dribbled forward, reaching his maximum speed in a short time.

Approaching the bottom line!

Snapped!
"Ziyeh!"

"To Tang Ye"

"return!"

"Ziyeh!"

"Goal! Goal!"

"Manchester United has scored!"

Ziyech!

Thanks to Ziyech's goal, Manchester United successfully pulled the score back.

But this is not the end.

"Don't celebrate! Don't celebrate!"

Tang Ye called out to the players around him, and Ziyech very conscientiously ran to the goal to retrieve the ball.

"hurry up!"

Ten Hach urged.

Van der Gach arrived at the sidelines at some point and joined Ten Hag in shouting.

There are now 18 minutes left until the regular time expires.

Manchester United must score a goal within these 18 minutes if they want to clinch the title early.

Dongqiudi live match report: Dembele cut inside and took a long shot, but it went high.

Come on, Manchester United! Two-peat!

Why does De Ligt always underperform in crucial matches? Maybe we should replace him with a center-back?

[The pressure is mounting, damn it, is this what it feels like to be a Manchester United fan?]

Manchester United always seems to create entertainment value when there isn't any, making it hard not to suspect that this team was created for viewership.

Playing against Crystal Palace shouldn't have been difficult, even with their history of overturning Manchester City, it was still within the capabilities of Manchester United players.

However, with De Ligt and Luke Shaw underperforming, coupled with Greenwood being too nervous, Manchester United could be said to have performed at less than 70% of their potential in this match.

"Here comes the chance to fight back!"

"Tang Ye!"

Snapped!
He volleyed a low through ball that bounced off the grass and rolled 20 meters before landing precisely at Dembele's feet.

!!!

boom!
A shot was taken.

The goalkeeper instinctively made a save, but he didn't guess the right spot.

The ball went in!
The ball went in!
Now we can finally celebrate.

"Brovo man! (Beautiful!)"

McTominay jumped on Dembele, applying pressure that nearly crushed him.

"Ha ha!"

Upon noticing the camera turn around, Tang Ye extended his right hand and gave a thumbs-up to the camera.

It's now the 83rd minute of the second half, and Tang Ye has completed his hat-trick of assists, while Manchester United have also turned the score around.

Tang Ye placed both hands on Dembele's shoulders.

"champion!"

"Ha ha!"

"coming!"

The substitutes also came out, Ashley Young roared at the camera, and Haller made Rodri jump up.

Rashford was the calmest one, simply walking over to give Tang Ye a high-five, though his smile was genuine.

"champion!!!"

Tang Ye shouted in front of Rashford, holding up two fingers with a fierce expression: "Second Premier League title, the second one!"

Yes, Crystal Palace made a mistake that gave Manchester United a chance to adjust.

"Yes, Manchester United has completely taken control of the game right now, and Crystal Palace is honestly unlikely to have any chances."

"..."

"Beep, beep beep!!!"

"Alright, the match is over! The final score is 2-3, and Manchester United, playing away, have achieved their seventh consecutive league victory since the restart!"

"Yes, after the match, Manchester United has a total of 98 points from 36 rounds, which means that no matter what the result of Liverpool's match is, Manchester United will have secured the Premier League title for this season in advance!"

With his hands raised, Tang Ye walked out of the bench, his chest heaving.

He was substituted with 5 minutes left in the game, so his panting was definitely not due to fatigue.

When a person is extremely excited, their heart rate and breathing increase, using more oxygen to produce more energy in order to cope with extreme situations. Tang Ye's current condition is a result of natural selection by human ancestors.

"Tom"

Rhodes was already crying. He walked up to Tang Ye, opened his arms, and hugged the latter tightly.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing, Rhodes."

Tang Ye gently patted Rodri's back, like a loving mother comforting a child.

“Fuck”

Rodri pulled up his jersey to wipe his sweat: "That was almost a disaster, I was terrified..."

"Haha, nothing's going to happen."

Rhodes is always making a fuss and gets flustered all the time.

But Tang Ye was different; he knew Manchester United wouldn't slip up in this match.

With his hand on Rodri's shoulder, Tang Ye approached Ten Hach and spread his hands in a gesture of helplessness.

Mr. Eric

"We won again!"

……
