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

Chapter 813 The League Cup Final: The Merseyside Derby, Liverpool's Hopes
Liverpool (4-3-3)

Goalkeeper: Kelleher
Defenders: Robertson, Van Dijk, Matip, Alexander-Arnold

Midfielders: Naby Keita, Fabinho, Henderson
Forwards: Luis Diaz, Mane, Salah
Head Coach: Klopp

"Brothers, I don't understand. Why isn't Ten Hah going up against Rashford this time?"

"With Arnold on the other side and you not playing Rashford, Ten Hag is just giving Liverpool chances. I suggest you investigate his background."

"To be honest, I've had doubts about Ten Hag since last season. Damn it, Tang Ye started to underperform as soon as he was loaned out. Are you even a coach from one of the top five European leagues?"

Facing the computer screen, Wang Chao shouted, "Teng Hag, bring on Rashford!!!"

I don't know why Rashford was a substitute, but Greenwood was definitely under a lot of pressure in this game.

If Greenwood plays even slightly poorly, he will be met with fierce criticism from Wang Chao and his fans.

"Mo Salah, Mo Salah, Running down the wing, Salah la la la la la, The Egyptian King!"

(Mo Salah, Mo Salah, running on the flank, Salah la la la la la, King of Egypt!)
"Bubble!"

"United Bubble"

The phrase "United Bubble" has only appeared in recent weeks and is a song created by fans of Inter Milan, Liverpool, and Manchester City.

"Manchester United's bubble" doesn't mean Manchester United is blowing bubbles, but rather that Manchester United is being used as a bubble.

What are those bubbles?

It flies high and far, but it breaks easily.

Manchester United is considered the best team in the world.

It's all a bubble!
So what isn't a bubble?

Mohammed Salah, la la la la la, King of Egypt!

"xuu!!!"

Greenwood received the ball on the left wing, and the Liverpool fans in the stands immediately booed him.

It's not that Greenwood's recent performance has been bad, but the domestic violence news has made him a topic of discussion among fans of various clubs.

Regardless of whether the domestic violence allegations are true or not, Liverpool fans are certainly happy to use this to manipulate the mentality of Manchester United fans.

They're here at Wembley to pop the bubbles today!

"Greenwood, pull the baseline!"

"Watch what Henderson and Arnold do!"

“I feel Greenwood still has a chance, after all, Greenwood has no weak foot.”

"Charge!"

Whether he was truly affected by the domestic violence rumors or not, Greenwood's sprint was somewhat nonsensical. Not only did he fail to find opportunities to get past his opponents, but he also put himself in danger.

Fortunately, Tang Ye reacted quickly enough and followed after them.

"Come!"

Upon receiving Greenwood's pass, Tang Ye turned his head to look to the left.

Looking for an opportunity...

"The past is gone!"

Dembele was not in the position he was supposed to be in, which caused Tang Ye to abandon the idea of ​​passing the ball immediately.

Fabinho is coming over, and Mane is also tracking back!

"Rod!"

Calling Rodri's name, Tang Ye simply raised his hands and slipped past Fabinho.

!

fuck!

Fabinho reaches out!

Tang Ye twisted his waist and arms together, easily dodging Fabinho's deliberate foul.

Wow!!!

“TY!”

"TY! TY! TY!"

The master has already surpassed others, so what's the next step?

Snapped!
After a combination play with Haller at the top of the box, Tang Ye regained possession of the ball and immediately passed it to Lingard.

"Awesome, King Tang!"

"So handsome!"

Although it wasn't a particularly impressive move, Wang Chao insisted on exaggerating it because he was after the traffic.

"Director, give me more screen time with the King of Football! What's so interesting about Lingard?"

"Give it to Wan-Bissaka..."

Snapped!
The ball is passed in a triangular pattern, and Dembele, who has moved to the center, receives it.

Tang Ye and Dembele instantly synchronized their thoughts, and the Manchester United midfielder immediately moved to the right flank.

boom!
Dembele headed the ball past Wan-Bissaka and sent it back to Tang Ye.

Control the ball sideways!

Tang Ye takes on Van Dijk one-on-one!
Swish!

Tang Ye dribbled into the penalty area, alternating between his left and right feet.

Seize the opportunity and pass it directly back to Dembele!
boom!
Dembele played a through ball, and Tang Ye arrived behind Van Dijk at the same time.

Snapped!
Tang Ye's shot hit the stands, and he then fell to the ground.

"Foul!"

Dembele turned to the referee and said, "He pulled someone down!"

"He fouled!"

Manchester United players reacted quickly, realizing that Van Dijk might have committed a foul and demanding an explanation from the referee.

"nonono!"

Liverpool's players, of course, insisted that Van Dijk had not committed a foul.

To be honest, this was a difficult situation to judge, and the referee had to go outside the court to check the VAR.

"That's definitely a foul, I saw it. It was Van Dijk who reached out and pulled Tang first, and then Tang shot. That shot that went wide is definitely Van Dijk's fault."

Let's take a look at the replay.

As expected, it was Van Dijk's fault, and Manchester United were awarded a penalty as a result.

"Brothers, isn't it true what I said before, that even if you threaten me with your lives, I, Tang Qiuwang, will definitely stand up?"

"With a penalty every 7 minutes, Liverpool is basically finished. What's the point of playing anymore? They might as well go home."

Rough words are not rough.

Indeed, Liverpool's current situation is quite bad.

The Manchester derby is inherently a clash between two strong teams. In such a match, if one side gets a penalty kick first, it can be a fatal blow to the other.

This can be seen from Ten Hag's current performance.

After the referee confirmed the penalty, the Manchester United manager immediately broke into a smile.

Although he didn't look in Klopp's direction, Ten Hag's expression was full of mockery towards the Liverpool manager.

"come on."

Dembele and Tang Ye high-fived, with the latter carrying the ball to the penalty spot.

Practice spinning it skillfully, then place the ball back in its place.

"Beep!!!"

"……call."

approach!

Snapped!
duang!

"Fuck!"

A shot hit the post and bounced out. Lingard rushed forward to try and get a follow-up shot, but he couldn't beat Robertson.

The Liverpool defender cleared the ball with a single touch.

"Wow!!!!"

Liverpool!

Liverpool!

Boom!

Bang bang bang!
Tang Ye stood in the restricted area, his hand on his nose, looking quite embarrassed.

"it's okay no problem!"

Dembele quickly came over and gave Tang Ye a hug, while Rodri put his hand on Tang Ye's head: "It's a small problem, it's nothing, it's nothing."

Dongqiudi live match report: In the 8th minute, Tang Ye's penalty kick hit the post, and the score remained 0-0.

"Depend on!"

Tang Ye was in considerable discomfort after kicking his foot off the grass where his shoe was standing.

[Hey streamer, what happened to your dad's timing?]

[Holy crap, guys, we've lost 5 years of our lives, what are we going to do now?]

[Don't worry, don't worry, there will be a hat-trick, but not now. Tang Ye will save us.] [He was fired up in the last game. I told you, Ten Hag should have substituted Tang Ye earlier in the last game. We were leading by 5 goals in the first leg and they still kept Tang Ye on the field. Couldn't they have lost by 1 or 2 goals in the second leg? They insisted on playing a comeback. Now, Tang Ye hasn't recovered in the championship game, what do you say?]

[Tang Ye took the penalty, took a short run-up, and kicked the ball against the crossbar. Manchester United wasted a chance.]

"xuuu!!!"

Liverpool fans were initially targeting Greenwood, but after Tang Ye missed the penalty, they immediately changed their target.

Isn't it more satisfying to target Tang Ye than to target Greenwood?

"TY, where's your penalty kick?"

"Why can't you even score a penalty? Look how much gold is in the Ballon d'Or!"

"Haha, yuuuu!!!"

Tang Ye, who had moved to the wing, quickly started hurling insults at Liverpool fans. Fortunately, Varane reacted quickly, and the referee did not show Tang Ye a yellow card.

"Damn it."

Tang Ye shook his head.

They were already rivals with Liverpool, and yet they failed to capitalize on such a good penalty opportunity.

Thankfully, it was a penalty he won himself; if it had been a teammate, he probably would have been completely devastated.

It's the 20th minute of the first half.

MUN: 48%.

LIV: 52%.

Although they didn't deliberately try to control the ball, Manchester United's current possession statistics are still quite good.

Diaz and Mane are not in particularly good form, which means that Liverpool currently only have the right flank, where Salah and Arnold play, as opportunities to create chances.

Unfortunately, Rodri was too steady; whenever Arnold tried to pass the ball, he would immediately be marked by the Spanish defensive midfielder.

Snapped!
Rodri launched a long pass forward, accurately finding Haller at the top of the box.

boom!
Alejandro González and Van Dijk collided.

Haller fell, but the Manchester United striker had already passed the ball to Tang Ye.

Manchester United's attack is in the favor!
Tang Ye accelerated forward the instant he received the ball, not giving Keita a chance to touch him.

Don't rush to pass the ball!
He's waiting for Alai to stand up!

Haller stood up on the edge of the penalty area, and nearby defenders immediately closed in, unwilling to give Haller the opportunity to support Tang Ye.

Of course, Tang Ye had no intention of passing the ball to Haller; he noticed Dembele coming up from the side out of the corner of his eye.

Snapped!
Pass the ball!

Dembele didn't stop the ball, and swept it out with a low cross.

The ball passed between Van Dijk and goalkeeper Kelleher.

Greenwood arrived at the far post on the left flank and unleashed a powerful left-footed shot.

duang!

The ball hit the crossbar and bounced, successfully entering the goal.

"GOOO-AAAA-LLLLL!!!"

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"Greenwood!"

"Awesome brothers!"

"1:0!"

Liverpool's defense is certainly excellent, but it is still somewhat inferior to Manchester United's attacking coordination!

"Roar--!!!"

Greenwood roared and paid tribute to Tang Ye with a three-stripe slide.

"bravo!"

Bang bang bang!

"Wowww!!!!"

"Glory Glory Man United! Glory Glory Man United!'"

"As the reds go marching on! on! on!"

"..."

"Like I said before, brothers, Liverpool may be strong, but they're still too green compared to my Red Devils!"

"I would give Manchester United a 9 out of 10 for this passing and possession game. If Tang Ye had scored at the end, I would have given it a 10 out of 10."

"When will host Tang Ye score a hat-trick...? Don't be so anxious, it's only been 20 minutes. Goals take time. My King Tang just led the second team to a comeback victory against Inter Milan. Isn't it normal for him to need to adjust? If you're so amazing that you can keep scoring, why don't you become a member of the Rattan Armor Army?"

"..."

"Okay, okay, this is fine now."

Klopp adjusted the angle of his baseball cap, while simultaneously making subtle adjustments to the formation on the field.

They are currently down by one goal, but it is a championship battle after all, so Liverpool's adjustments are quite bold. Klopp directly gave Arnold the instruction to strengthen the attack.

Liverpool are relying on Salah and Alexander-Arnold today, and their performance could very well determine the fate of the game!
"Give us a corner kick!"

"Give it to Lingard!"

"Don't rush, Lingard."

"Okay, okay, sent."

"Brothers, that's a penetration kick!"

Lingard's low through ball passed Van Dijk, but failed to get past Robertson.

Simply put, they weren't properly dressed, which is why Manchester United's attack didn't come out directly.

boom!
Alai interrupted Robertson for a moment.

"Fuck!"

A chorus of curses erupted in the penalty area, and the scene began to descend into chaos.

Tang Ye is looking for an opportunity.

"Look at 66!"

Luke Shaw locked down Arnold early, allowing Tang Ye to push forward boldly and participate in the battle for possession in the penalty area.

Robertson kicked the ball into De Ligt's face.

The rebounding ball was caught by Haller.

Haller tried to pass the ball to Tang Ye, but Keita intercepted it midway.

Nima!

Tang Ye immediately made a counter-press, regained possession of the ball, turned on the spot, and then unleashed his signature toe-poke shot.

Snapped!
The ball went between Matip and Diaz and finally into the goal.

The ball went in!
2: 0!

"Tang Ye!"

"King of the Melee!"

"That feels good, brothers."

The difference between a two-goal lead and a one-goal lead is indeed significant. After Manchester United took a two-goal lead, Wang Chao leaned back in his chair and no longer had to crouch down to watch the game.

"No more nagging, just as I predicted, we're leading by two goals."

"There's not much else to say, Manchester United will be over 2.5 goals."

"How many goals can Liverpool score..."

"I feel Liverpool should be able to score, because Varane doesn't seem to be in great form. But it's hard to say, maybe they'll score in the second half, or maybe they won't. Either way, Liverpool doesn't have much of a chance."

"Well... it's not entirely hopeless. If Mane and Robertson can really shine, it's not bad."

Time passes minute by minute.

With a two-goal lead, Manchester United naturally wanted to extend their advantage.

Unfortunately, Liverpool, currently third in the Premier League, has players who can adjust their form very quickly. Manchester United couldn't find a suitable opportunity for a while and were instead hit by three consecutive counter-attacks from Liverpool.

"Fuck!"

“Lingard!”

"What the hell are you doing?! Holy crap, chase this noob!"

Snapped!
Arnold's long pass found Diaz, who was sprinting forward.

Diaz stopped the ball.

shit!
This was the immediate reaction of all Manchester United players.

Varane and De Ligt are not very fast, so the only way to intercept them is through Wan-Bissaka.

Wan-Pythagorean Speed ​​Boost!
He's working incredibly hard, and Wan-Bissaka's speed is really impressive. The distance between the Manchester United full-back and Diaz is visibly closing.

However, the initial distance between the two was too great, and even though Wan-Bissaka was fast enough, he was unable to catch up with Diaz in the end.

A one-on-one opportunity arises, and facing the onrushing De Gea, Diaz tightens his grip and delivers a shot.

The ball went in!
