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

Chapter 915 Washing Away the Shame of the Entire Season with One Game
Snapped!
Palmer's shot hit De Ligt.

De Ligt reacted quickly, immediately kicking the ball forward.

"Fuck!"

Guardiola clutched his head and let out a heart-wrenching scream, clearly showing his extreme dissatisfaction with Palmer's performance.

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"Control the ball, don't shoot it randomly!"

Guardiola is furious!
Palmer was still playing with a smile on his face, while his teammates on the bench were already starting to worry about him.

If you keep playing like this, do you still want to stay at Manchester City next season?
That's difficult!

Manchester United launched a counter-attack, and Tang Ye showed no mercy to the opponent, starting his own advance as soon as he received the ball.

They were very fast, seemingly not wanting to give Stones a chance to defend themselves.

Feint to avoid it!

It worked!
Perfect! Tang Ye used a series of subtle movements to avoid Stones and dribbled the ball to the left wing.

Rashford was already ready on the left flank, and as soon as Tang Ye passed the ball to him, the Manchester United winger could launch an attack on the byline immediately.

but!

Rashford is being marked by Kyle Walker, and getting the ball at this point doesn't seem like an easy task!

Knowing he couldn't pass the ball at this moment, Tang Ye quickly signaled Luke Shaw to come up, while observing Stones' position and searching for Kane.

Appeared.

The familiar three-threaded architecture!

Snapped!
He flicked the ball with his left foot and passed it to Kane.

After receiving the pass from Kane, Tang Ye immediately passed the ball to Luke Shaw behind him.

"right!"

Luke Shaw was on high alert and launched a long pass, aiming directly at Dembele who was coming over to receive the pass on the right wing.

Chest control!

Snapped!
Dembele controlled the ball and turned to try and control it, but Akanji kicked the ball away.

"Depend on!"

Dembele clutched his head in regret after missing a scoring opportunity.

"Just give it to Dalot."

Tang Ye looked up and pointed to Dalot waiting on the right sideline. Dembele scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I thought he hadn't come up yet."

"Check it before stopping the ball."

Tang Ye gave Dembele a thumbs-up, reminding his teammate to correct his bad habit of not observing before controlling the ball.

"..."

"Luke Shaw, team up with Rashford."

"It seems like we're in a bit of trouble. Walker and Stones are playing excellent defense!"

Seeing that Bernardo Silva was about to get back on defense, Tang Ye had no choice but to run over and use his body to block him, preventing the opponent from getting a chance to support him.

"Give it to me!"

After receiving a pass back from Rashford, Tang Ye nudged Bernardo Silva with his shoulder and then started moving towards the edge of the penalty area.

"Don't give them a free kick!"

I don't know who shouted it, but the Manchester City defenders are now completely focused.

Don't give Tang Ye any possible chance!

While dribbling with the outside of his foot, Tang Ye kept glancing around and noticed Dembele making a run down the right flank. He sensed an opportunity.

Snapped!
A through ball from the left foot!

Tang Ye wanted to find Dembele, but Ruben Diaz noticed his intention.

Snapped!
Diaz punched the ball away.

McTominay made a run to head the ball in, but Ederson punched it away.

Manchester United corner kick!
"Ruben Diaz, the Portuguese defender, is Tang Ye's old rival."

"Yes, he has a fairly good understanding of Tang Ye's technology."

"Let's take a look at how Manchester United utilized this corner kick opportunity."

The team has many excellent headers; Kane, De Ligt, and Rodri are all suitable passing options for Tang Ye.

"Beep!"

Snapped!
The pass was pushed to Dalot in front.

It's a tactical corner kick!
After Dalot stopped the ball by stepping on it, he gently pushed it forward again.

Tang Ye ran over.

Snapped!
Wow!!!

"Here it comes, Tang Ye's cross!"

"They should have given you the back point!"

"Kane!"

Kane jumped, but couldn't reach the ball.

It wasn't over yet. Rodri suddenly rushed up at the far post and headed the ball powerfully past Stones.

“GOOO—AAAA—LLL!!!”

"Goal! Goal!"

"Rodri scores!"

"1:0!"

Manchester United are in the lead!

Bang bang bang bang!
That header goal came quite suddenly.

In the 17th minute of the first half, Manchester United took a 1-0 lead!

"Roar--!!"

Rodri slid out on his knees and bumped into Tang Ye, then made a celebratory gesture as if he had combined with the Flame Dragon Armor.

"Fuck, haha!"

Tang Ye hugged Rodri's head and said, "Nice!"

The director first showed a replay of Manchester United's goal, then immediately turned the camera on Guardiola.

The photographer chose to give Guardiola's scalp a close-up.

Both are bald, but Guardiola's head and Ten Hag's head are quite different.

Ten Hag's head is bald, but Guardiola's scalp has many red marks, which he painstakingly dug out with his fingernails.

Mr. Pep is under immense pressure!

Many fans watching on TV couldn't help but feel sorry for Guardiola after seeing this scene.

In fact, Guardiola did a pretty good job in terms of tactics and player recruitment, but he just couldn't win any championships.

Is the 100-point championship win in the 2017-18 season just a thing of the past?

"I think Guardiola needs to think carefully now, because if things continue like this, Manchester City will be forced to end the season empty-handed..."

"..."

Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone~

"Without a dream in my heart, without a love of my own"

Manchester City's anthem is quite distinctive in the Premier League, as their "Blue Moon" has a very soothing melody, making it feel more like a quiet concert than a football match.

This melody actually matches Manchester City's playing style, which is the players' composure when cooperating.

This is precisely where Manchester City surpasses other teams.

Bernardo Silva passed the ball to Stones.

Stones to Palmer.

Palmer wasn't in a hurry. He first played a passing game with Grealish and Gundogan for a while, and only after Manchester United's defensive formation was broken did Palmer finally make his pass.

The through ball found De Bruyne perfectly.

"Oh!!!"

The atmosphere at the scene became tense.

Rodri and Dalot were leaning in, hoping to disrupt De Bruyne.

De Bruyne sought to coordinate with Haaland.

boom!
Haaland withstood De Ligt's challenge and successfully passed the ball back to De Bruyne.

"Let's just fight!"

"De Bruyne!"

"Whoa! That was close!"

"De Bruyne's curling shot to the far corner was a little short on speed..."

"Hiss, if Tang Ye had been there, he probably would have scored. But we can't say that, considering De Bruyne's age; he's no longer in his prime." Even after briefly extending their possession to 70% in the 40th minute, Manchester City still couldn't break down Manchester United's defense.

De Gea is in excellent form, and that's one of the reasons.

But the bigger reason is actually the gap in the overall strength of the two teams.

Manchester United's midfield is too overwhelming; whenever Manchester City's pressing fails, their goal is subjected to a very fierce attack.

Manchester City's attacking success rate was less than 30%, and it took them a lot of time.

But Manchester City's attacking success rate has exceeded 70%.

Seven out of every ten attacks penetrate the opponent's defense. Are you scared yet?

"United!"

"Manchester United!"

"We are the Champions!"

"We are the only champion!"

Boom!

Bang bang bang!
As the home team's attacking desire grew stronger and stronger, and they even seemed to want to control the game, the Manchester United fans in the stands, dressed in red, became excited and chanted their six-trophy plan.

All the champions of top competitions should remain in the Hall of Fame at Old Trafford!
Without exception!

“Akanji, back off.”

"But Manchester City's current formation doesn't seem to be working very well."

"Dembele!"

"Wow, a groin dribble!"

After nutmegging Akanji, Dembele immediately pulled to the side, bypassing the defense and heading straight towards the post.

Ederson quickly moved to the near post, worried that Dembele might suddenly shoot.

However, Dembele remained relatively composed, approaching the opponent little by little before raising his leg when he found an opportunity.

!!!

Ruben Diaz fell to the ground in preparation for the interception, only to find that he had been tricked by Dembele's actions.

fuck!

Dembele stopped the ball with a tread, and when he found an opportunity, he decisively passed it back to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye then passed the ball to Kane.

Kane's chance!
Face the goalkeeper!

boom!
Kane's shooting skills are no joke; he unleashed a powerful shot that sent the ball flying into the net.

“GOOO—AAAA—LLLL!!!”

The ball went in!
Kane!

2: 0!

Manchester United extended their lead to two goals before halftime!
"Roar!!!"

"..."

"Beep, beep beep—!!!"

"Alright, the first half is over. The score is currently 2-0. Manchester United still has a significant advantage."

"Yes, with this two-goal advantage, Manchester United can play more easily in the second half, but they need to be wary of Manchester City's possible tactical changes."

The camera immediately focused on Guardiola's head after the halftime whistle blew.

The Spanish coach is in an awkward position.

In the pre-match interview, I mentioned that I had taken advantage of the FA Cup to study Manchester United, but today's match was not as good as the score in the FA Cup.

“Shhh!!!”

Guardiola was booed by the fans.

Pep!

You were a fraud all along!
……

Halftime report: Kane scores, Tang Ye assists for his second goal, Manchester United leads Manchester City 2-0, seizing the initiative in the title race.

Popular football commentator: Was the last match a charade? Data shows that Manchester United players covered an average distance 15% more in the Champions League final than in the FA Cup final.

Manchester United turned a football match into a spy thriller.

Did Guardiola make a wrong judgment because Manchester United were practicing during the FA Cup final?

This... can't be, right?

If this speculation is true, then things are a bit too abstract, because you simply can't imagine Manchester United being that audacious.

Of course, only the Manchester United players themselves know whether it was staged or not.

……

"It feels like we've got this in the bag."

Dembele followed behind Tang Ye, shifting his body as he spoke, seemingly ready to lift the trophy.

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye stopped and, after Dembele walked in front of him, nudged his teammate.

"Hey, Tom!"

"You bet we just crushed them. This is the Champions League final, much easier than we imagined."

"You should talk to the Manchester City players and tell them that you think they played terribly."

As he spoke, Tang Ye also went into the locker room, ready to see what Ten Hag's plans were for the second half.

The situation at Manchester City next door is quite bad. Haaland sat down with his head down as soon as he returned to his room.

You can tell Haaland is angry right now, but he just won't say anything.

"We conceded a goal every time they attacked."

Okay, you've finally spoken up.

"Then our attack couldn't break through their goal."

"..."

Haaland's complaints made the atmosphere in the locker room even more tense, and just when everyone was at a loss for what to do, Guardiola walked in.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

"Get out if you want to speak!"

Guardiola scratched his head, while Palmer, who had just stood up, sat back down.

"Why did we play like this? Think about it, why are we down by two goals? No, not just two goals, we're down in every aspect!"

Guardiola's face was already red: "This is our last chance for a title this season! The very last one! How many titles have we lost this season? The Premier League title, the FA Cup title... we didn't even win the damn Community Shield!"

"Do you think this is fair to our fans? They traveled from Manchester to Istanbul to watch us play. They had to save up to afford plane tickets and tickets to the final, and all they got was to see us get thrashed like this by Manchester United. How can you live with that? Are you willing to watch Manchester United widen the gap between us step by step?"

boom!
Guardiola slammed his fist on the tactical board: "You guys are professional players, you have to win, keep winning, keep winning championships, that's how you repay your fans!"

"They've won enough championships already, now it's our turn!"

"Step forward, today's championship belongs to us!"

"..."

Clap clap clap!

The atmosphere in the room was quickly lively. After Guardiola finished explaining the substitution plan, the players stood up and tidied up.

"Ruben".

Palmer found Ruben Diaz, leaned against the cabinet with his hands in his pockets, and asked, "Okay, I'll support you in the second half, and you pass the ball to me."

"what?"

Diaz paused for a moment: "Didn't Pep say he would substitute you in the second half?"

“...oh.”

Palmer covered his head with his hands: "I forgot. Good luck."

"..."

"Come on, come on!"

Gundogan adjusted his captain's armband, ready to go. The Manchester City players gathered in the middle: "Guys, everyone thinks we're not as good as Manchester United, whether it's tactics or the players themselves. They think we're inferior to Manchester United in every way, and Manchester United has indeed won more titles. They've put us on the bottom."

"But what I want to say is that today's game is the last game of the season, and we need to win this most important championship so that we can tell the fans that what they have always believed is wrong."

"We are qualified to compete with Manchester United!"

clap clap clap!
"Let's wash away the shame of our entire season with this final game!"

"City!" (Manchester City)

"City!"

"City!!!"

Wow!!!
