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

Chapter 748 Manchester United's foundation is hard to destroy, Tang Ye's Voldemort assists.

Simeone's shout was heard by Ten Hag, of course.

Ten Hach went straight to the fourth official: "This is outrageous! Did you hear that? What are they trying to do?!"

"..."

The fourth official was a little embarrassed and told Ten Hag that shouting wouldn't count as a foul.

"Wow, so you mean I can only file a complaint after Tom is sent to the hospital?"

Ten Hach waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you guys are really good."

Ten Hag dislikes many coaches, including Escribá, Guardiola, Klopp, and Simeone.

The Dutch had already blacklisted these coaches in their minds, with the higher the ranking, the more they disliked them.

It now looks like Simeone's ranking needs to be moved up a bit!

"xuuu!!!"

Cristiano Ronaldo received the ball on the left wing and dribbled towards Felipe with the outside of his foot.

Cycling!
Change direction!

Ronaldo tried to dribble past his opponent, but unfortunately Felipe anticipated his move and made a quick tackle to steal the ball.

"xuuu!!!"

"Rubbish!"

"Ronaldo is trash!"

Atletico Madrid fans are anything but polite to Ronaldo; they'll do anything to mock the Portuguese player whenever he makes a mistake.

"fine!"

Tang Ye shouted, signaling Ronaldo to quickly get back to defend.

"..."

Time flies, and it's already the 14th minute of the first half.

Manchester United had a possession rate of 82%.

Atletico Madrid's tactics were somewhat unique, resulting in Manchester United having their highest possession rate since the start of the season.

Manchester United fans are delighted.

But it wasn't until 20 minutes later that Manchester United fans watching on TV began to realize something was wrong.

With over 80% possession, Manchester United seemed to have too few shots on goal.
Based on the impressions of the away team's jerseys, they only need 40% possession to generate nearly 7% of the shots on goal.

Of course, in this match, Manchester United had 80% possession, but only two more shots than Atletico Madrid, including one direct free kick.

"...Tsk, it seems Manchester United has fallen into Atletico Madrid's trap?"

"Everyone says that even five defenders can't handle Manchester United, so Simeone simply went for it and made it five defenders plus five defensive midfielders."

"My intentions are clear: I'm not going to attack you at all; I'm going to defend to the very end!"

"Actually, Manchester United still have some chances, Rashford!"

Rashford sprinted towards the byline at maximum speed.

One-on-one against Felipe!
Rashford failed to dribble past his opponent and lingered on the left wing for a moment.

Pass it back to Luke Shaw!
Snapped!
A 45-degree cross was delivered, aimed directly at Dembele on the right wing.

Dembele burst through the gap between Hermoso and Koke.

Jump up!
"what!"

Dembele, who was preparing to shoot, was knocked away by Hermoso in mid-air.

! !
Manchester United players were very fast on the field, and Tang Ye and Ronaldo rushed towards the referee immediately.

"That's a foul!"

"Penalty kick!"

Tang Ye patted his shoulder in front of the referee, indicating that Dembele's center of gravity was disrupted in the air, which was a very serious foul.

"He's right, you should take a look."

Cristiano Ronaldo echoed this.

The Manchester United players' appeals had some effect.

However, the referee awarded a direct free kick, not the penalty the players actually wanted.

Cristiano Ronaldo spread his hands towards the penalty area: "He was already in the penalty area when he jumped, right? I saw it."

"No, it's a free kick."

Hibbert gestured for Ronaldo to leave.

Tang Ye held his waist with both hands.

He was not very satisfied with the referee's decision.

These kinds of penalty and free-kick disputes in the penalty area can often cause a lot of trouble.

If the referee awards a penalty, that would be the best outcome.

However, if it's a free kick, even if the attacking player is fouled near the penalty area, the referee will mark the free kick point further back, not at the actual point where the player is down.

Take this ruling as an example: the white line drawn by the referee was at least 2.5 meters away from where Dembele fell.

"Silly referee!"

"Fuck you!"

"Lick my TY's ass!"

They've been unable to break through after a long attack, and now they're even being targeted by the referees.

The proud and arrogant Manchester United fans are getting impatient.

"...A direct free kick, let's give it to Tang Ye."

Snapped!
A low, ground-based shot found Rodri in the penalty area with pinpoint accuracy.

Rodri dribbled past Kondogbia and then played a through ball to Ronaldo.

boom!
A powerful shot was delivered.

The ball went in!!!
"Beep!"

Before the Manchester United players could even begin to celebrate, Hibbert disallowed Ronaldo's goal.

【offside】

"Hey, offside!"

"Ronaldo was offside, well, that was pretty obvious."

"Ronaldo's forward run was a bit too rushed!"

Cristiano Ronaldo gritted his teeth and glared angrily at the referee.

He felt the referee was targeting him!

When his goal was disallowed, Ten Hag didn't react much; he simply raised his hand and then lowered it again.

By this time, more and more Manchester United fans realized that something was wrong.

Everyone says this match will be tough, but the reality will be even worse than fans imagine.

"Yo soy del Atleti! (I am an Atletico Madrid fan!)"

"Aúpa Atleti! (Come on, Atlético Madrid!)"

"..."

Manchester United's backline was wide open, giving Atletico Madrid a rare counter-attacking opportunity!
Griezmann dribbled the ball and changed direction, temporarily avoiding Varane.

Snapped!
The cross is delivered, targeting Felix, who is making a diagonal run to the edge of the box.

Atletico Madrid's number 7 leaps high.

Header!

boom!
De Gea leaped up and pushed the ball out.

"Oh!"

"Beep beep beep beep!!!"

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this should be the most threatening shot of the match so far.

It's from Atlético Madrid.

From this perspective, Atletico Madrid does indeed have the ability to challenge Manchester United.

Besides playing at home, Atletico Madrid has another invaluable advantage today.

They seem to have received the favor of the referee and God!
“Aúpa Atleti!”

“Aúpa Atleti!”

Snapped!
A corner kick!
The height isn't too high, but the ball speed is very fast.

"goal!"

Tang Ye, having completed his judgment, shouted it out.

De Gea realized something was wrong, but De Paul cleverly blocked the Manchester United goalkeeper's view with his body.

In less than half a second, De Gea lost sight of the ball.

"GGGGG——OOOO——LLLLLL!!!"

"The ball is in!"

Trippier! A corner kick goes straight into the net!

"Oh my god, haha!"

"A goal from Trippier, Atletico Madrid leads 1-0!"

Before the referee could confirm the goal, the Atletico Madrid players went completely wild.

"Vamos!"

Felix and Carrasco embraced, while Griezmann went to Trippier, easily leaping onto the goal scorer with a running start.

"Kieran!" (Trippier)

"Kieran!"

The Wanda Metropolitano Stadium was brought to a climax by the cheers of the fans.

While Atletico Madrid's 1-0 victory had an element of luck, the fact remains that they were indeed in the lead, and that lead belonged to the in-form Manchester United.

The director first focused the camera on Tang Ye, then on Cristiano Ronaldo, and finally on Ten Hag.

The Manchester United manager didn't say a word, he just touched his head.

The commentator didn't say anything, but the football fans were already furious, and Eskeriva's supporters took the opportunity to attack Ten Hag.

A starting lineup worth 10 billion euros, and they still got overtaken by Atletico Madrid, a team that plays defense. Eric, what the hell are you doing?

The most frustrating thing wasn't actually falling behind, but that the Manchester United players weren't performing too badly, with Tang Ye and Dembele's attacking combination remaining fluid.

Even so, they still couldn't beat Atletico Madrid!

"...Simone has indeed made a lot of preparations for this match."

"Yes, that's right. To beat them with Manchester United's signature counter-attacking style is quite a shock to Manchester United fans!"

Tang Ye called his teammates over and gave Rodri a pep talk.

"We've lost our direction!"

"Rodri shouted."

Ten Hach hasn't made any moves yet; he's probably still discussing something with Van der Gach.

Atletico Madrid's approach was novel, so Manchester United couldn't find a good solution in a short time.

After careful consideration, Ten Hag made a decision and gestured to Tang Ye on the field.

"Okay, let's continue playing like this for now."

"No, we are lagging behind now."

Cristiano Ronaldo pointed out that he clearly believed Tang Ye had made the wrong judgment.

"nonono!"

Tang Ye pushed Ronaldo away: "We need to have a direction, otherwise we can't play."

"Keep playing as usual for now, and we'll figure out a solution later."

"What if the original tactics were wrong?"

"It won't be a problem."

Tang Ye had great confidence in the team's core tactics, and therefore rejected Ronaldo's proposal.

This is really bad, guys.

What is Teng Sheng doing? Classic substitute sleeping on the bench.

[Brother Luo, can you please stop being offside? I can't stand it anymore!]

[Isn't Varane a World Cup champion? Why doesn't he seem very strong? Could his peak be over by 30?]

[Damn it, as expected, I can't trust anyone except Tang Ye. This is infuriating, my orders are going to explode!]

"Trash Manchester United!"

"Garbage! Garbage!"

Tang Ye and Dembele switched positions, with Tang Ye moving to the right wing near the sideline.

Atletico Madrid's defensive players are mostly concentrated in the backfield, so for Manchester United to launch effective attacks, they must penetrate deep into the byline.

And that's the most difficult part of the game!
Shake it!
Snapped!
Snapped!
Tang Ye returned to Dalot, and Dalot then went to find Dembele.

Carrasco has a keen sense of smell and realized that Tang Ye might get the ball, so he decisively closed in and didn't intend to give Tang Ye a chance.

Dembele had no choice but to take matters into his own hands first!

Dribble forward.

"Front!"

Tang Ye stopped abruptly, letting Dembele run past him.

The two then switched places back.

The cross-cutting movement temporarily created space, and Dembele passed the ball to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye pushed the object to De Rong, who came up to help.

De Jong dribbled the ball directly towards the penalty area.

Wait until Atletico Madrid's defense begins to retreat.

"Don't worry!"

Just a heads up, De Jong is near the top of the penalty area.

At this point, Atletico Madrid also began their operation, with two defenders coming up to double-team them.

Tang Ye is on his way too!

De Jong stomped the ball in place, and Tang Ye came up from behind.

!

There were just too many defenders nearby, and an idea popped into Tang Ye's head.

Awesome rainbow!

"Oh!!!"

Tang Ye immediately showed off his skills against Kirk.

The rainbow flick was a success!
"Depend on!"

boom!
Kirk pulled Tang Ye down, and the latter fell to the ground.

Tang Ye had originally planned to finish with a free kick, but he suddenly realized that he could still touch the ball.

With his right hand on the ground, he used his left foot to send a very short through ball to De Jong.

It was just a push, to get De Jong closer to the ball.

Snapped!
The ball went in!
"Nice!"

Ten Hach suddenly became excited and raised his hands upwards.

The goal stands.

1: 1!

Manchester United have equalized!
"Tom!!!"

Just as Tang Ye was about to stand up, Rodri, who rushed up from behind, knocked him back to the ground.

The Spanish midfielder knelt on the ground, tightly clutching Tang Ye's head with both hands: "Vamos! Tom!!!"

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye appeared quite relaxed.

But in reality, his mind had already begun to recall the scene from earlier.

So handsome!

"Oh, Tang Ye, haha!"

"That goes without saying, but Atletico Madrid's defenders might get anxious."

Despite his excellent skills, Tang Ye actually played rather conservatively, at most making some dangerous through balls.

Fans generally remember that Tang Ye rarely uses the rainbow flick.

So from a certain perspective, Kirk is very lucky!
Live Match Report: Tang Ye's rainbow dribble and Voldemort's through ball assist De Jong's shot, Manchester United equalize 1-1!

While Atletico Madrid's defense was very good, the fact is that Manchester United's tactics, which have been used for so many seasons, couldn't possibly have any major problems; otherwise, Manchester United wouldn't have been able to win so many titles.

This is the terror of profound heritage.

No matter how much Simeone changes things, he still finds it difficult to deal with the combination play of Manchester United's attacking players.

You have tactics and discipline.

But Manchester United has money, which is very difficult to deal with.

37 minutes.

Tang Ye lay on the ground again, rolling twice before stopping.

He sat on the ground, shrugging helplessly.

Ugh.

"Come."

Cristiano Ronaldo helped Tang Ye up from the ground.

A direct free kick opportunity.

It all depends on Tang Ye!

Snapped!
The ball curves out and hits the corner precisely.

The ball went in!
Manchester United's second goal of the match!
"Ha ha!"

Wow!!!

……

"Although we say Manchester United were behind at the beginning, they certainly showed great resilience. Well... 'resilience' isn't quite accurate; I think 'foundation' would be a better word."

"Manchester United gave us the feeling that they were unprepared in the first half, but they were able to make timely changes when faced with certain situations, which I think is very important and is also the reason why Manchester United has been favored by fans in recent seasons."

"..."

Griezmann

"Ouch, that's a penalty!"

"Manchester United gave them a chance, but Atletico Madrid didn't seem to capitalize on it!"

Griezmann missed the penalty, and Simeone, standing in front of the bench, went from standing to squatting.

Manchester United quickly showed Atletico Madrid the price of missing their chance.

Tang Ye, positioned on the right flank, delivered a precise long pass to Bruno Fernandes on the left flank.

Stop the ball.

Snapped!
A long ball found Cristiano Ronaldo making a run forward, and the Portuguese striker's keen instincts helped him make the right choice.

Instead of jumping up to head the ball, Ronaldo positioned himself and engaged in a physical challenge with Felipe first.

!

Cristiano Ronaldo's impressive muscle strength forced Felipe to take a step back.

Done!

This was Oblak's immediate reaction.

Felipe shouldn't have backed down!

Cristiano Ronaldo!
Stop the ball and turn.

Another shot!
