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

Chapter 721 Tang Ye's MVP award is a conspiracy.

The first half was almost over, and the score was now 3-1.

Although they deliberately lost some water, it's clear that Manchester United still had a significant advantage.

The most obvious advantage is in the attacking rhythm. After winning the ball in the backfield, Manchester United can move it to the frontfield more quickly and turn it into an effective attack.

Beijing Guoan is far inferior to Manchester United in counter-attacking, but that's just how it is.

After all, you can't find many teams in the world with a better counter-attack than Manchester United.

"Hey, this is what we said before: Tang Ye's return is the best news for Manchester United in the new season, far better than any other signing."

"That's the difference between Tang Ye and Bruno Fernandes. We say that Fernandes is more like a younger version of Tang Ye. Simply put, he's more aggressive than cautious. That's why we saw Manchester United's overall possession rate was relatively low last season, often below 35% even when facing some strong teams."

"As for Tang Ye, his technical characteristics are more mature."

"Yes, that's right, because he can balance being aggressive and playing it safe. He'll pass the ball when he sees a good opportunity, but if the opportunity isn't right, well, that's when Tang Ye will show off his ball control skills!"

The LeSports commentator showered Tang Ye with praise.

Whenever Tang Ye makes a move on the field, the commentators will immediately analyze it tenfold.

It may sound exaggerated, but the effect is actually quite good.

After the commentators started praising Tang Ye, Dongqiudi (a popular sports betting platform) was filled with comments like "These two commentators from LeTV are great!", "LeTV's commentators are indeed professional", and "Great job, they seem even more professional than CCTV."

Objectively speaking, it's inappropriate for commentators to lavish praise on a specific player on the field. In extreme cases, this could even provoke resentment from some fans.

However, Tang Ye is a slightly special player.

It's evening Beijing time now.

Tang Ye, as the sun shone brightly over the Bird's Nest, made the commentators and fans unable to open their eyes due to the blinding light.

They had no other desires than to sing praises to the greatness of the sun!
Tang army!

loyalty!

"Tang Ye, you've made it down the right flank, get ready to combine with Dembele!"

"Dembele, cut inside after receiving the ball!"

"Pretty!"

Dembele easily beat Li Lei and got close to the penalty area.

A lob shot!

Snapped!
He unleashed a curling shot.

However, the ball was pushed out by goalkeeper Hou Sen at the last possible distance!
"Wow!"

Bruno Fernandes shrugged, laughed, and then patted Dembele on the head.

"..."

"Beep, beep beep—!!!"

The first half has ended, with the score remaining at 1-3.

"Both sides will likely make some major adjustments to their lineups in the second half."

There are no restrictions on substitutions during warm-up matches, meaning that both Manchester United and Beijing Guoan can make substitutions at will.

"The Manchester United substitutes are ready, and we say that Manchester United is likely to make changes."

"But my personal suggestion is that Beijing Guoan should not substitute their starting players, because there are very few opportunities to play against Premier League teams. Guoan can try out their reserve lineup against Manchester United!"

The cheers of the fans echoed throughout the Bird's Nest stadium as Tang Ye and Bakambu met in front of the players' tunnel.

"Fuck, you're exaggerating, Tom!"

Bakambu put his arm around Tang Ye's neck, and the two leaned against each other.

Four years have passed since the 2016-17 season, and Bakambu was amazed by the changes in his friend Tom: "I watched the Champions League on TV, and I felt that you hadn't gotten much stronger."

Bakambu pointed at Tang Ye's nose, as if scolding him: "But, fuck! Watching it on TV is not the same as playing it live."

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye patted Bakambu on the back: "Do you know why you feel this way?"

"Huh? Why?"

"Because you're old, Cedric!"

"Hey, come on!"

Tang Ye finished speaking and ran away, with Bakambu quickly chasing after him.

Dongqiudi Halftime Report: Beijing Guoan trails Manchester United 1-3 at halftime in the Bird's Nest match. Li Lei scores, and Tang Ye scores twice.

[I enjoyed watching this. Will Manchester United field the same starting lineup in the second half?]

It's probably not, but I feel like Beijing Guoan could give the starting lineup a chance to play for a while, to give them some experience.

[My idol GGBond, if I could watch you play football every day, I'd be willing to drive a luxury car and live in a mansion!]

[In the second half, let's move Tang Qiuwang to Beijing Guoan. If this continues, Guoan will concede five goals.]

[Beijing Guoan fans are very supportive; why don't the National People's Congress representative come and play for Beijing Guoan for a season?]

[Upstairs, go to sleep early, you're starting to lose your mind.]

"Wow!"

Upon returning to the locker room, Dembele exclaimed and then lay down directly on the physiotherapy bed in the middle.

"Squeeze it in!"

Tang Ye also lay down, and the two of them squeezed together: "So tired, so tired."

"Are you going to play the entire game, Tom?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"If you're going to play the whole game, then why are you complaining about being tired? Get out of here!"

Dembele pushed hard with his butt, squeezing Tang Ye off the ground.

"Hey! Fuck, haha!"

Tang Ye lay on the floor and looked up.

Two eyes were staring at him; they were Ten Hach's eyes.

Ok?
Startled for a moment, Tang Ye quickly stood up: "Wow, Mr. Eric."

"Don't sleep."

Ten Hah gestured for Tang Ye to stand up quickly.

A warm-up match is a warm-up match, but it is still a football match in essence.

"We need to use these warm-up matches to get a feel for playing official matches, so I don't really want you to relax too much, understand? We have a lot of tasks to do in the new season!"

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Tang Ye returned to his position, and Ten Hach went to the tactics board.

"There's not much to say about today's game, but I'll emphasize a few points."

"First of all, when it comes to defense, we can try more different approaches. We don't need to be afraid of making mistakes. This is a warm-up match. If we make mistakes, the worst that can happen is that the opponent scores. We can handle that. What I need you to do is learn from this match. We can learn from any team, do you understand what I mean?"

Ten Hag looked around, especially at the Manchester United defenders: "Why have they only scored one goal?"

"Also, I need you to remain serious, but this is seriousness in your mindset and mental state."

“The seriousness you feel in your mind is different from the seriousness you show. When you are playing on the field, if you hear a lot of fans chanting your names, then I mean you need to greet the fans in the stands.”

Snapped!
Ten Hach clapped his hands: "This is the right thing to do."

"I will make some substitutions in the second half, around the 60-minute mark."

The plan is to make a substitution at the 50-minute mark, which is Manchester United's usual practice in pre-season friendlies.

However, due to rumors linking Eskeriva to the Chinese national team, Ten Hag had to make temporary adjustments to his substitution plan.

Time quickly came to the second half.

"Tang Ye!"

"Rodri! Holy crap! Wow!"

As suggested by the LeTV commentators, Beijing Guoan did not make any substitutions after the start of the second half, presumably wanting to seize the opportunity of playing a friendly match against Manchester United.

The score remained 1-3 after 60 minutes.

Manchester United's planned substitutions have come to an end, and Ten Hag has begun to make adjustments.

Dembele was about to walk off the field when Rodri grabbed him.

Rodri winked at Dembele, then glanced at De Jong.

Manchester United's defensive midfielder crossed his arms in front of Ten Hag.

Dembele didn't understand what Rodri meant, so the latter explained in a low voice: "This is China, give Tom some face."

The intensity of the match was very low; a full 90-minute game was only equivalent to half a Premier League match.

Rodri and De Jong meant that the last 30 minutes wouldn't make a difference, and they were indicating to Dembele to finish the last 30 minutes.

Tang Ye was meant to play the entire match, but he didn't expect his teammates to do the same.

Tang Ye did not make a request, but that does not mean he did not want his teammates to continue playing.

Dembele is too young; he needs to be taught a lesson by Rodri!
"Oh, yeah, right!"

Dembele also crossed his arms, politely declining the substitution.

"Manchester United have made a major substitution..."

"Then it should be Tang Ye leading the reserve team against Beijing Guoan next. I feel that Guoan still has a certain chance!"

"Yes……"

"The players coming on are Amad Diallo, Alle, and Dalot..."

After carefully observing the commentary, it was discovered that there were only four players on the Manchester United bench.

"Hey, isn't Rodri going to switch?"

"Yeah, Dembele hasn't been changed either!"

After a little thought, the commentators and fans quickly discovered the pattern.

Ten Hag retained all the Manchester United players with a market value exceeding 1 million euros.

What does it mean?
[Awesome! Teng Sheng!]

[As expected, Ten Hach really gave Tang Ye face...]

Fans realized what was happening and were amazed by the incredible abilities of their own GGBond.

What a joke!
GGBond's reputation should never be questioned!
Aren't you going down?

Tang Ye and Rodri shrugged, the latter simply shaking his head: "I haven't found my rhythm yet." "Let's play a little longer."

"Ok."

Tang Ye and Rodri clapped their hands.

"..."

74th minute!

Cao Yongjing accelerated forward, but Rodri easily dodged him by sidestepping.

"Ahead! Ahead!"

boom!
The through ball was played, and Rodri immediately looked for Haller, who was positioned furthest forward.

"Wow!"

The pass was very accurate!

Alai quickly moved towards the penalty area and engaged in a physical confrontation with Yu Yang.

Ale got the position very easily.

Seeing Tang Ye coming up from behind, he decisively set up the ball.

Snapped!
With a powerful shot, Tang Ye sent the ball flying into the stands.

Wow!!!

"..."

"A chance for Beijing Guoan!"

"Dalot made a mistake, Beijing Guoan must seize this opportunity!"

"Bakambu, he's crossed the ball!"

"Yu Dabao!"

He played as a defender in this match, but Yu Dabao's forte is actually center forward.

Jump up!
boom!
A header was thrown out.

"The ball is in!"

"Yu Dabao!"

"Haha, 2-3!"

Somewhat unexpected.

Beijing Guoan not only successfully opened the scoring against Manchester United.

And it opened successfully more than once!
"Wow!!!!"

It's unknown how much of a bluff Manchester United threw the game.

Anyway, the fans really enjoyed it!
"Guoan is awesome!"

"Damn, Tang, stop throwing the game!"

"Tang Ye, remember this: you belong to Shenhua!"

"Fuck you, Tang Ye, you're from Mount Tai!"

Tang Ye keeps switching clubs in the stands, and now you can't even tell which club he plays for.

"The King of Football! Wow!!!"

The fans kept screaming, and Tang Ye would raise his hand every now and then.

"A master like you must have incredibly skillful techniques!"

"Horizontal strokes, left-falling strokes, vertical strokes, right-falling strokes, hooks, dots, and turns

"All of this is wonderful!"

"..."

boom!
A through ball to Haller up front!

Ale stepped on the ball, waiting for Tang Ye's next move.

"Go up, go up!"

Hou Sen gestured for Yu Dabao to stick close to Alai.

As soon as Yu Dabao went up, Haller immediately passed the ball to Dembele who was there to receive it.

Beijing Guoan's head coach shook his head.

The Beijing Guoan defenders were fooled!

The most frustrating thing is that Manchester United barely put in any effort throughout the entire process!

Step on the ball, and face Yu Yang in a 1v1 battle!

Change direction left or right!

The moment Yu Yang stretched out his leg, Dembele immediately changed direction.

Yu Yang followed, and Dembele flicked his toe, completing a nutmeg of the defender.

!!!

Wow!!!

Snapped!
A shot was delivered, and Dembele's shot went through Hou Sen's legs.

The ball went in!
"Hey, Dembele!"

"Although his performance in the first half was not good, we saw that Dembele quickly found his form in the second half!"

"4-2! Manchester United have extended their lead to two goals again!"

[Does Dembele really like to throw games like this?]

[They're really into it! They're really into it! Good thing they're so into it, let's get a few more players into Beijing Guoan!]

[Beijing Guoan is awesome!]

Go easy on me, give the camera to Tang Qiuwang.

Holy crap, Dembele and Rodri played the whole game? I'm seriously impressed. The first time I saw it on Damai, it was only 480 yuan, but I didn't buy it because I live too far from Beijing...

[Tang the Ball King, oh my god, he's so handsome!]

[What are you looking so handsome about, upstairs? Tang Ye isn't even in the shot...]

"National Security!"

"come on!"

"Go Beijing Guoan!"

Trailing by two goals again, the fans in the stands spontaneously rallied together to cheer for Beijing Guoan.

Manchester United clearly threw the game.

However, if they can put up a good fight against a Manchester United team that is playing with less effort, that would actually be a very meaningful thing.

"It's okay, it's okay! Gao Tianyi, keep it up! It's nothing to be ashamed of!"

"come on! Come on!"

"Wow!!!!"

"..."

"Beep, beep beep—!!!"

The match ended after 92 minutes, and unfortunately, Beijing Guoan failed to score their third goal, with the final score settling at 2-4.

Bang bang bang bang! ! !

Bang bang! !
"Tang Ye!"

"Tang Ye!"

Apart from that direct free kick, Tang Ye's performance in this match wasn't particularly outstanding, but he still received cheers from the fans in the stadium.

"Brother Zhe!"

Tang Ye and Zhang Xizhe hugged.

"Almost!"

Zhang Xizhe lamented that he almost managed to open Manchester United's goal, but unfortunately, he ultimately failed.

"It's just a warm-up match. We'll be happy to score in the Asian Cup qualifiers."

Tang Ye and Zhang Xizhe hugged.

……

"To all the fans at the Bird's Nest Stadium, please shout out the name of the best player of this match!"

"3, 2, 1!"

"Tang Ye!!!"

Hey.

Tang Ye stood on the grass, spreading his hands, and the large screen changed accordingly.
