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

Chapter 680: The Final Four-Way Battle - The Dream Master Returns to the Theater of Dreams

赛事预告：4月15日凌晨3时，欧冠淘汰赛1/4决赛曼联主场迎战多特！
-
Due to red cards received in the first leg, neither manager will be able to be present for the second leg, but they can still watch from the stands at Old Trafford.

Being able to watch the game from the stands shows that UEFA hasn't gone too far yet.

It means that as long as you shout loud enough, you can still have a commanding effect!
To be honest, if they were in the stands, Ten Hag and Eskriwa definitely wouldn't have fought.

So……

Fans from both sides are now eagerly anticipating a verbal battle between Ten Hag and Eskriva in the stands.

Who will ultimately prevail, Eric or Ferran?
……

Sources say Tang Ye is basically confirmed not to participate in the Asian Cup qualifiers for the round of 48.

Stop analyzing the Round of 48; if they can't even advance from the Round of 48, then there's no point in playing the rest.

[Tang Ye: You guys get into the top 12 first, I'll go chop up Ten Hah and come over]

[I feel the Chinese national football team's lineup this year is still pretty good, with 2 players from the top five European leagues plus 1 GGBond, a top-tier configuration.]

Why don't you mention the Japanese team? They're all from European leagues.

What's the use of European leagues? Aside from the Premier League's Big Six, every other team that faces my GGBonds has to call them daddy. But even the Premier League's Big Six are useless now; Tang Ye will take on Manchester United tomorrow night!

boom!
The plane landed at Manchester Airport.

The familiar tone, the familiar rainy day—Tang Ye felt as if everything had returned.

"How about it?"

Eskeriva suddenly asked, and Tang Ye didn't understand what the head coach meant at first.

"Haha, Ferran, don't test him!"

Marty pushed Eskeriva forward.

The conflict between the Spaniard and Ten Hag intensified, leading to the emergence of things that he would never have said otherwise.

Tang Ye and Bellingham exchanged a glance, then shrugged helplessly, while Haaland laughed loudly beside them.

"Hey, Erling!"

Tang Ye shouted, "Keep it serious!"

"yes sir!"

Haaland saluted Tang Ye.

Upon hearing the commotion, Pogba immediately came over, looking Haaland up and down with a wary look in his eyes.

"what happened?"

Haaland looked puzzled, but Pogba simply shook his head, indicating that he had just happened to walk up.

"..."

Haaland tilted his head, not understanding what was going on with Pogba.

I remember Pogba wasn't like this last season.

Of course, everyone needs to grow, especially for players like Pogba and Tang Ye who love to play; the word "growth" is very evident in them.

"..."

"TangYe!"

"TangYe!"

Wow!!!

Although the Dortmund players went through the VIP building, the fans still found a spot with a direct view of the VIP building, holding up Tang Ye's exclusive support sign.

Long time no see, TangYe!

Tomorrow's match is against Manchester United, so Manchester United fans who like Tang Ye can only cheer him on today.

And tomorrow we'll be at each other's throats!
Escribá approached at some point, pretending to grab something, but actually wanting to strike up a conversation with Tang Ye: "If we beat Manchester United tomorrow, will you feel regret?"

"This one……"

Tang Ye didn't give an answer immediately, but Escriva immediately noticed the Dortmund midfielder's hesitation and put his hand on Tang Ye's shoulder.

"Have no pity."

"hiss……"

Tang Ye stared wide-eyed at Eskeriva as he walked away.

Whether Tang Ye will show mercy to his opponent is unknown.

But one thing is certain: Eskeriva really wants to win!

……

Owen predicts the second leg score: Manchester United 3-1 Dortmund, with De Jong's return having a decisive impact on the game.

Besides the players, another variable in the second leg is the head coach.

When discussing this topic, Irving made a rather "bold" point of view.

That means that with both managers absent, Manchester United actually benefited more.

Bold!

It's simply outrageous!
Irving is being too pretentious. If he said those things in front of Ten Hag's supporters, he would definitely be severely punished!

However, at the end of the show, Irving also offered a supplementary explanation for his words.

It's not that Owen looks down on Ten Hag, it's just that Manchester United and Dortmund have different tactical systems, and Dortmund's tactical system requires more on-field adjustments.

"Without a doubt, Ten Hag's role at Manchester United has been phenomenal."

……

#The Second Leg of the Battle of the Two Saints# Tang Ye VS Manchester United related topics have been trending on Weibo, and the day of the match has arrived quickly.

Yesterday it rained moderately, but today Manchester has a rare sunny day. The normally cold weather is less unpleasant because of the sunshine.

"Glory Glory Man United~"

"Glory Glory Man United!"

As soon as they arrived at the side gate of the stadium, the Manchester United team bus was quickly surrounded by fans. Mata was the first to get off the bus, followed by Ten Hag.

"Eric!"

"Go Eric!"

"It's okay, the red card is fine, we can win!"

Fans swarmed around, and security separated them from Ten Hag.

"Make a phone call, Eric, make a phone call!"

One of the fans made a phone call gesture: "Call Tom and tell him not to play so aggressively, he's already injured!"

Only die-hard Manchester United fans in the local area know how heartbroken they were when they saw Tang Ye score a hat-trick against Manchester United.

"I'm very sorry."

Ten Hag seemed to be in good spirits and responded positively to the fans' request: "But we are confident in this game, so I will not make that call."

"Wow!!!!"

In a post-match interview, Ten Hag said something truly impactful.

"It's time to let the fans know what the core of Manchester United is and what the foundation of Manchester United is."

These words caused an uproar at the press conference.

The Champions League is extremely important to Manchester United.

It was so important that Eric was willing to turn his knife on his dearest Tom!

Click, click, click!

"Eric, may I ask..."

The reporter's expression was serious, and you could even see a hint of fear in his eyes: "Are you going to slaughter a pig?"

Ten Hach remained silent, only smiling.

Click!

Click, click, click!

On the other side, Tang Ye was also being interviewed after the match when a reporter asked him about his right hand injury.

"It's actually not bad."

Tang Ye raised his right hand and waved it: "It shouldn't have much of an impact, anyway, I'm in pretty good condition right now. Although it's bandaged, it doesn't actually hurt."

It doesn't hurt, and even if it does hurt, it's okay. Dortmund are professional athletes after all, and they have all kinds of pain relief sprays.

The reporters in the audience lowered their heads, clearly having received information from their "accomplices" next door.

"Teng Hah said he's going to slaughter a pig today. What do you think about this?"

Click, click, click!

"..."

Tang Ye stood there stunned for a moment, then smiled after he came to his senses.

Haha!

“Ahem, well…” “I know Ten Hag really wants to advance to the semifinals, but I won’t give up, because my teammates and I also want to go to the semifinals.”

"Would you be killed by Ten Hah with a knife?"

"...If he tries to cut me with a knife, I'll run very fast."

……

"Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da, ta-da!"

"I roam freely, commanding respect from all—and all look up to me!"

"Having dominated the world, I have no need to look back!"

"I will overturn the world, I will write my own laws!"

"..."

Too nervous, too nervous, Tang Ye decisively stepped forward to sing for his teammates, and "A Hero in Troubled Times" was obviously the most suitable song at this moment.

"Nice Tom!"

Royce clapped: "But we can't understand it."

"It's okay, you don't need to understand."

Tang Ye gripped the microphone and explained, "All you need to know is that this song is played when someone is being killed. We like to use this music when we're killing people over there."

"Oh shit!"

Reus leaned back and raised an eyebrow.

"Let's go, let's take them down!"

……

"China Media Group! Good evening, viewers. This is a live broadcast for you..."

"As you can see, both sides are ready!"

The players were standing on the field twisting their waists and touching their shoes when the camera panned directly to the stands.

Ten Hag and Escriva stood on opposite sides, separated by a player tunnel.

Neither Eric nor Ferran can fly, nor are they long jump experts, so it would be very difficult for them to fight again.

"Hmm, wow... Premier League stadium staff are quite experienced in preventing conflicts..."

"Yes, but the distance is actually very carefully controlled."

"While Ten Hach and Eskeriva may not be able to have a direct physical confrontation, well, we're talking about physical conflict, some verbal arguments are unavoidable."

The stadium seating arrangement took this into account, especially for Manchester United, the king of traffic. This team is very professional in this regard, directly controlling a distance where they can exchange insults but not fight. It's very, very subtle!

"United!"

Boom!

"United!"

Bang bang bang!
In the picture, Ten Hag raises his hands, seemingly to tell the fans that he is the owner of the stadium.

On the other hand, Escriva's situation was not so good. Because they were playing away and couldn't match the momentum, Escriva could only look away and avoid eye contact with Ten Hag.

As for when they can look each other in the eye again, that depends on the score on the field.

To reiterate, Escriva will not act rashly when the situation is uncertain and he has the upper hand!
"Beep!!!"

Haaland kicks out the ball, and the game begins!

"..."

Borussia Dortmund (3-2-4-1)

Goalkeeper: Bürki
Defenders: Piszczek, Hummels, Akanji
Dortmund got Piszczek back, and Manchester United got De Jong back.

Aside from the banned head coaches, both sides fielded their strongest lineups of the season!
They were indeed playing very aggressively on the field. Rodri made a successful interception of Tang Ye right away, and the latter fell to the ground.

"United!"

"Wow!!!!"

Manchester United came out playing very aggressively!
Rodri dribbles forward!
Maintaining a good rhythm, Rodri dribbled the ball past the halfway line and continued running towards the Dortmund goal.

"Stop them!"

The voice came from Rodri, the Manchester United defensive midfielder signaling to De Jong to come up and block Tang Ye's position.

Upon hearing the sound, De Jong quickly arrived and immediately blocked Tang Ye's position, preventing the latter from providing support.

"Wow, Manchester United really knows Tang Ye well..."

Let's see if we can break through the defense!

Just as I was about to see how Tang Ye would break through the defense, Rodri delivered the pass.

Snapped!
A very precise through ball found Dembele who came over to receive it.

Dembele jumped up, flicked the ball with his heel, and nutmegged Guerrero!

Wow!!!

Fans who don't understand football are still marveling at Dembele's brilliance, but those who do understand football have already realized that this is something Dembele learned from Tang Ye.

It felt very comfortable after putting on the crotch.

Dembele raised both hands and dribbled very nimbly, alternating between his feet.

boom!
Pass the ball to Rashford!

Master La!
As the most disappointing player of the year, Rashford is eager to prove himself in this match.

Watch how it's done!
Rashford cuts inside, takes a step back, and waits for the right moment.

A lob shot!

Snapped!
He unleashed a curling shot that struck Hummels on the forehead and bounced off.

"Fuck!"

Rashford covered his head with his hands.

He could have gone to grab the rebounding ball, but he probably didn't expect it to bounce right next to him, and by the time he tried to grab it, it was too late.

"What are you doing!"

"Go ahead and grab it!"

Rashford's missed penalty sparked discontent among fans in the stands.

At this point, Dortmund's counter-attack had already begun, leaving Rashford with no choice but to retreat.

Pogba took control of the ball and launched a long pass directly to Haaland in front of him.

"Stop it for me!"

Tang Ye shouted.

Haaland turned around, preparing to chest the ball to Tang Ye.

Just then, De Jong and Bruno Fernandes came up at the same time, and the two of them blocked Tang Ye's path, with one closing the goal and preventing Tang Ye from receiving the ball.

Depend on!
Feeling a bit uncomfortable, Tang Ye pushed De Rong with his hand, but De Rong was unwilling to move, and the two remained locked in a stalemate.

"hiss……"

Eskeriva in the stands took a deep breath, extremely nervous.

The thing he was most worried about finally happened.

If Tang Ye scores a hat-trick in the first leg, Manchester United will definitely intensify their efforts to target him in the second leg.

As for feelings towards teammates.

At this point, the Manchester United players were actually quite helpless. All they could do was avoid violently fouling Tang Ye, as physical confrontation was unavoidable.

"..."

"Tang Ye! Oh! Beautiful!"

Tang Ye nearly tripped over Rodri, leaning forward and staggering a few steps before finally managing to catch the ball.

"Tang Ye, choose to do it yourself!"

"Hey, this is what we were talking about before, Tang Ye is a player who can adjust his center of gravity and shooting speed very quickly!"

Tang Ye and Reus played a one-two pass to the left baseline, and Tang Ye then passed the ball to Reus, who then cut inside.

Wait for an opportunity!
Snapped!
A 45-degree cross was delivered to the far post, where Sancho displayed an almost perfect first touch before cutting inside and shooting.

"De Gea!"

"Pretty!"

Dortmund's first shot on target in the match was unfortunately saved by De Gea.

It is now the 23rd minute of the first half.

They only managed their first shot on target after 23 minutes, which is indeed too few considering that this is Dortmund, a team known for its attacking prowess.

Matti stood on the bench, deep in thought, knowing this was crucial for Dortmund's upcoming adjustments.

With Tang Ye effectively contained, how can Dortmund create more depth in their attacks?
