Chapter 303: Assist Scores Twice, Chelsea Meets a Ghost!

"GOOOO——AAAA——LLLLL!!!"

"Goal!"

"Rodri's long-range shot!"

"1:0! Manchester United takes the lead!"

Beep beep beep!

The home fans in the stands vented their dissatisfaction with fake whistle sounds.

Having scored, Rodri clasped his head with both hands, then sprinted toward Tang Ye at full speed.

"Tom!!!!"

Rodri's face was flushed crimson.

This was his first goal for Manchester United!

And it was a damn long-range goal against Chelsea!

An assist from big brother Tom!

【You have obtained 10 Counterattack Points】

【Progress: Goals (0/6) / Assists (1/6)】

"Haha, Rod!"

Spotting Rodri running toward him, Tang Ye timed it perfectly.

Three, two, one, jump!

Tang Ye, leaping into the air, collided with Rodri; he quickly grabbed Rodri's shoulders, barely managing not to fall.

"Rod!"

Sensing Rodri's intention to keep running, Tang Ye jumped off Rodri, stepped aside to clear the path, allowing the latter to accelerate toward the stands.

Let's see what kind of celebration move Rod will use?

"Roar!!!"

It was a furious shout!

Tang Ye recalled the scene from last season when he and Rodri shouted together, so he ran over.

Together with Rodri!

"Vamos!"

The Manchester United players on the field embraced, while the Chelsea fans were clearly panicking.

"Fuck you!"

"Boooo——!!!"

"Kiss my ass!!"

Dongqiu Di halftime report: Tang Ye, without looking back, passed to assist Rodri in scoring; Manchester United leads by one goal away from home.

【Got eyes in the back of your head, huh?】

【Is this the bond between GGBond and his little brother...】

【Damn, this vision is ridiculously absurd】

Some fans who had just started watching were already amazed, unaware that this was merely Tang Ye's standard operation.

The match continues!

"Mark tight, mark tight!"

Kong Di shouted loudly from the sidelines.

Entering this match with the ambition to defeat Manchester United, only to now trail by one goal, was something Kong Di could absolutely not accept under any circumstances.

"N'Golo!"

He called out to Kante on the pitch: "Cut off the connection between that Spaniard and Tom!"

"..."

While Kong Di was shouting, Ten Hag stood on the grass watching him.

Ten Hag greatly enjoyed watching other managers panic.

Because it allowed him to relax.

The match continues!

Manchester United's attack was strong, but Chelsea's offense was certainly not weak either.

Slap!

In the defensive third, Kante played a low, driven through-ball directly to Morata's feet; Morata shifted the ball from his left foot to his right, feinted past Herrera, then squared it to Fabregas.

Tang Ye was rushing back!

Glancing at Fabregas's movement, Tang Ye pointed at Hazard, and Mata quickly ran over.

As expected, Fabregas chose to pass to Hazard, with Mata positioning himself to block the space behind.

Mata prevented Hazard from turning, forcing the latter to shield the ball with his back, slowly jostling for position.

Executing a combination play with Bakayoko, who was charging up!

Hazard regained possession of the ball!

"A very quick one-two in the attacking third!"

"Hazard isn't fast; let's see if Manchester United can find an opportunity."

Hazard dribbled rapidly toward the penalty area, placing immense pressure on Manchester United's defensive line.

Smalling and Valencia retreated step by step, both maintaining intense focus.

The Blues' winger might not be fast, but his sense of rhythm was excellent.

Defenders fear this kind of player the most!

Valencia and Mo Lin positioned themselves one in front, one behind; Hazard passed the ball from his right foot to his left, successfully bursting between the two Manchester United defenders.

!

Something was wrong; Mo Lin prepared to stretch out his leg to intercept, but at that moment, Hazard suddenly paused.

Then surged forward again!

Hazard beat two defenders!

Rushing behind Mo Lin, Hazard fired a low shot.

De Gea dropped straight down, successfully blocking Hazard's shot.

"Damn..."

Tang Ye let out a long sigh, glancing at Rashford beside him; Rashford now wore an expression of sudden relief as well.

That move by Chelsea's number 10 just now was truly terrifying!

Tang Ye sifted through the match footage from last season in his mind and quickly found two players similar to Hazard.

Messi and Neymar!

In the previous match against Barcelona, both Messi and Neymar had executed similar dribbles!

The opponent was extremely formidable; Tang Ye knew he had to make adjustments quickly.

Time reached the 35th minute of the first half!

Let's check the possession rate!

CHE: 64%

MUN: 36%

Chelsea's possession rate far exceeded Manchester United's, so much so that fans didn't even need to look at the data to judge that Manchester United was currently lagging in possession.

Kante and Bakayoko's interceptions, along with the coordinated attacks by Hazard and Morata in the forward line—this was the reason for Manchester United's low possession rate!

"I got it, I got it!"

Stretching out his hand for the ball in the center, he received the pass from Valencia.

No rush; first, lift his head to observe.

Okay!

Find the right timing!

Pa!

【De Bruyne Standard Long Pass Lv4: Realistic】

Proficiency: 655/1200

Under the gaze of the fans, Tang Ye's long pass landed precisely on Rashford, who was making a forward run down the left flank.

He failed to control the ball steadily at the first touch, but it didn't matter; Rashford held a positional advantage.

Now he had secured the ball!

Accelerating toward the edge of the penalty area!

Strike it directly!

Bang!

A volley was fired out, but Courtois blocked the shot.

"Hmph!"

Kong Di was startled and quickly shook his shoulders.

Originally, he thought Manchester United mainly relied on the partnership between Tang Ye and Rodri, but now it seemed otherwise.

Manchester United's players seemed to be playing within an interfered magnetic field; the coordination between them was utterly terrible.

But number 10, Tom, was very strange; he was completely unaffected by this magnetic field.

He could almost create excellent combinations with any Manchester United forward, any Manchester United midfielder on the pitch.

Sometimes, he could even coordinate with the defenders!

Then the logic for what came next was already very clear!

Kong Di shouted toward the pitch, signaling Bakayoko to apply more pressure on Tang Ye.

Bakayoko seized a gap and spread his hands toward Kong Di: "You've already said that."

"More!"

Kong Di shouted loudly: "Even more pressure!"

Bakayoko shrugged: "Okay!"

In the final moments of the first half, Ten Hag had Luke Shaw warm up, and the away stand immediately erupted in noise.

At this moment, Manchester United's attack came again.

It was Tang Ye once more!

【De Bruyne 45-Degree Cross Lv5: Replication (Transcendent State)】

Proficiency: 44/3500

"Tang Ye sends a cross into the penalty area!"

"Mata takes a look!"

"Controls the ball, then shoots!"

The penalty area was packed with defenders; the time left for Mata to adjust was far too little, and in the end, Mata kicked the ball wide.

Shaking his hands, Tang Ye heard the referee's whistle.

Although Mata failed to seize the opportunity just now, from another perspective, Chelsea had also missed many chances.

Moreover, Manchester United is currently leading, which is indeed a fortunate matter!

"Their offense is too fierce,"

Herrera complained to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye nodded; he had watched clearly from behind while Hazard and Fabregas coordinated in the front field.

"Their defense is also formidable; there are so many people inside their penalty area!"

Check Dongqiu Di Halftime Report: Tang Ye's flexible pass assisted Rodri in scoring; Manchester United leads Chelsea 1:0 away from home.

【Courtois and De Gea could directly be deified.】

【Ten Hag's double striker formation really has merit, but I still feel Manchester United needs a true center forward; we cannot waste my GGBond's super long passes.】

【Wait, is Kante just fixated on Tang Tang Qiuwang and won't let go?】

【Don't say it, Tang Ye really cannot get past Kante.】

In the home team's locker room at halftime, Kong Di was in a rather poor mood.

"We are here to win, so you must show the attitude of winners!"

"Before the match started, I said that Tom's long passes are very threatening, so you cannot let him receive the ball near the center circle."

Just as Kong Di finished speaking, Fabregas suddenly looked up: "He will dribble forward with the ball; his dribbling is very good."

"So the defensive line in the back field must hold its shape well."

"But if we press in the center circle, there won't be many people left in the back field, and we will be hit by a counterattack."

"Then give up pressing in the center circle..."

"..."

Halfway through his sentence, Kong Di suddenly fell silent.

Because he realized Chelsea seemed to have encountered a ghost.

If they defend the center circle, Manchester United's defensive midfielders will find a way to pass the ball to Tang Ye making forward runs, especially that Rodri, who loves doing exactly this.

But if they do not defend the center circle, Tang Ye's series of long passes is truly something the Chelsea defensive line cannot withstand.

So the question arises.

How should Chelsea proceed in the second half?

"Fuck you!"

"Shoo!!"

"Chelsea! Chelsea!"

The noise outside was chaotic, but Tang Ye's mind was completely empty; his attention was fixed on Hazard.

He remembered he still possessed a Hazard template on his person.

【Self-Sacrificing Ball Protection】!

To be honest, this template is truly useful when inside the penalty area!

Seemingly noticing Tang Ye's gaze, Hazard walked over proactively: "Hey, Tom!"

"Eden."

Tang Ye shook hands with Hazard, then mentioned what he had seen on Twitter: "They say you really like eating hamburgers."

"Haha, you misunderstood."

"I eat hamburgers only because I like a certain sauce from my hometown."

So that's how it was...

Tang Ye nodded: "Then they misunderstood me too; actually, I don't really like hamburgers either; I just like the bun and the spicy chicken."

"Haha!"

"Good luck in the second half!"

"Good luck, Eden."

After this exchange, Hazard took note of Tang Ye.

To be honest, it was quite surprising; Hazard had thought that a Mr. Hundred Million would be extremely arrogant, but Tang Ye clearly had nothing to do with the adjective 'arrogant'.

"Welcome back, dear audience friends; this is the 11th round of the Premier League..."

Neither side made any substitutions, but Chelsea, as the trailing party, adjusted their tactics slightly.

That guy on the opposite side who likes chewing gum is too strange.

Chelsea must make specific adjustments against him!

Time reached the 53rd minute of the first half; Tang Ye received a pass from a teammate in the midfield.

Without looking back, he flicked the ball directly to Herrera, who was making a forward run on the left.

Then he ran forward together with Herrera!

"Manchester United is attacking!"

"The players are advancing very quickly!"

Herrera carried the ball, while Tang Ye did his best to ensure he ran parallel to Herrera.

He glanced at the situation ahead, then calculated.

Barring any surprises, Kante should come up to intercept Herrera...

Here he comes!

Kante slowly decelerated, seemingly intending to stop Herrera from advancing further.

At this moment, Herrera also slowed down, then played a through ball to Tang Ye, who was making a run on his right.

Tang Ye controlled the ball!

Perfect combination!

Bakayoko rushed over.

But Tang Ye gave Bakayoko no chance to defend against him at all, playing a precise through ball that found Mkhitaryan on the right edge of the penalty area.

Oh no!

This was Kong Di's immediate reaction.

Smack!

Mkhitaryan's low shot grazed the left post and went into the net.

The angle was extremely tricky; Courtois had absolutely no chance to make a save!

"GOOOO——AAAAAA——LLLLLL!!!"

"Goal!"

"2:0!"

Tang Ye let out a loud roar on the spot, then ran together with Herrera toward Mkhitaryan's position.

【You have obtained 10 Counterattack Points】

【Assist brace achieved; you have obtained an additional 20 Counterattack Points】

Embracing his teammates, Tang Ye was now in high spirits.

Not only because they were now leading 2:0, but also because of his two assists.

Six goals or six assists would unlock the Manchester United Legend Chest.

In the very first match, Tang Ye had already completed one-third of the mission!

Damn, this is too strong!

The camera cut to the substitutes' bench; after taking a two-goal lead, Ten Hag made his substitutions.

Luke Shaw, recovered from injury, came on as a substitute!

Replacing Ashley Young!

And then Lin Lin Jiade!

Lin Lin Jiade replaced Herrera!

"Phew..."

Rodri breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed his position was now somewhat secure!

"Get up there!"

"Faster! Faster!"

Kong Di's furious shouts mixed with the home fans' chants, and the rhythm of the Blue Army players on the field seemed slightly disordered.

Less than five minutes after coming on, Luke Shaw and Rashford combined on the left flank, ending with Luke Shaw dribbling the ball to the byline.

Although Luke Shaw's cross was blocked by Christensen, the Manchester United fans were delighted.

Luke Shaw had recovered very well!

"Get past him, get past him!"

"Charge, charge, fuck!"

Urged on by the fans, Kante muscled past Lin Lin Jiade on the wing, then played a through ball to find Hazard!

Smack!

Hazard laid the ball off for Morata, who was making a forward run!

Shot!

Goal!

Chelsea pulled one back!

"Morata!"

The home fans chanted Morata's name.

Chelsea's new signing this season, while not as stunning as Tom, was still very respectable!

Morata did not disappoint the fans' expectations; he ran into the penalty area to retrieve the ball himself.

They wanted to equalize the score!

Chewing some gum, then tugging at his jersey, Tang Ye quickly adjusted his state.

Next, he needed to focus on defense!

"..."

"Tang Ye went straight for the slide tackle!"

A very smooth tackle; Tang Ye sent Hazard crashing to the ground.

The Belgian winger sat on the ground, spreading his hands helplessly.

We're all just burgers; why must one burger make things difficult for another burger!

"Sorry, Eden."

Tang Ye pulled Hazard up from the ground.

"Beep, beep-beep——!!!"

The match ended!

Check Dongqiu Di match report: Manchester United defeated Chelsea 2:1 away to secure their first league victory in November; Tang Ye recorded an assist brace, and Rodri scored with a long-range shot.

Early in the season, Manchester United earned the label of being "unable to play against strong teams."

But the fact was that Manchester United consecutively defeated Tottenham and Chelsea from the Big Six, successfully shattering that rumor.

【Mission Progress: Goals (0/6) / Assists (2/6)】

Tang Ye was studying his mission when Rodri rushed up from behind and directly put his arm around Tang Ye's neck: "Thanks, Tom!"

"Hm? What are you thanking me for, Rod?"

Rodri pointed toward Chelsea's penalty area: "That long-range shot!"

Rodri was extremely excited.

Because of that long-range shot, when the market values were updated next January, his value would increase by at least 5 million euros!

"Oh, you shouldn't be thanking me for that."

Tang Ye shook his head quickly: "We were supposed to do that anyway. Rod, you've been passing to me all along, so I have to pass to you too."

When Fan Fan Dejiahe returned, Tang Ye immediately asked about the recipient of the Man of the Match award for this game.

"The official result isn't out yet, but in all likelihood it is—"

Fan Fan Dejiahe's gaze shifted to Rodri, and a smile appeared on Tang Ye's face.

He fist-bumped Rodri!

Boom!
