Chapter 356: Double Red Derby Father-Son Showdown: Tom's Dad Mocked by Manchester United Fans

【Pure showboating, trying to suppress me, GGBond, again, are you?】

【Liwerpu's unique winning tactic.】

【Manchester United fans only admit to losing to Liwupu in the matter of Tang Ye's father-son relationship.】

【Liwupu, filthy!】

Liwupu brought out their strongest tactic for dealing with Manchester United.

They wanted to suppress Tang Ye through blood relations!

This was unacceptable!

However, upon closer thought, when Manchester United faced Liwupu in the first half of the league season, Liwupu also had Tang Tang Zhengxiong holding the fort.

At that time, it was still Liwupu's home ground, yet Manchester United still managed to draw with their opponents.

Looking at it this way...

Does the so-called bloodline suppression seem like it won't play much of a role?

On match day, outside Old Trafford stadium, the famous Liwupu fan Tang Tang Zhengxiong accepted an interview from reporters.

Tang Tang Zhengxiong faced the reporters and photographers, surrounded by a circle of Liwupu fans.

"Yes, that's right, I have always firmly stood on Liwupu's side, because I started watching Liwupu matches on television when I was very young."

"What about your son? Tom is your son."

The reporter reminded him cautiously.

It seemed this guy in front of them had forgotten that Tang Ye was his son!

"I know Tang Ye is my son, but in my view, the identity of a Liwupu fan supersedes everything."

Tang Ye was Tang Tang Zhengxiong's son.

How could Tang Tang Zhengxiong forget his own son!

"Wow!!"

Tang Tang Zhengxiong's words were met with cheers from the surrounding Liwupu fans, who all shouted Tang Tang Zhengxiong's name loudly together.

"Tom's dad!"

"Tom's dad!"

"Tom's dad!"

At this moment, Tang Tang Zhengxiong seemed to be the leader of the Liwupu fans.

Tom's dad was the great Liwupu leader; he would lead the Liwupu fans to defeat Tom together!

"Then, may I ask Tom's dad, can you make a prediction for the score of this match?"

Tang Tang Zhengxiong took the microphone: "I said this a long time ago; I expect Tang Ye to perform very well in matches, except for matches against Liwupu. Tang Ye will not be a match for Liwupu, that is certain."

!!!

"Haha!"

Seeing Tang Tang Zhengxiong's interview video on Twitter, Tang Ye burst out laughing.

Phew...

Everyone says GGBond is a football genius, that his path has been smooth sailing.

But how could fans understand what GGBond has gone through?

Betrayal by his father!

The pain behind this is known only to GGBond himself!

Reach out your right hand to give a like, and leave a comment while you're at it.

Choose an appropriate emoji...

Washing one's face with tears, that's the one!

【(Crying) (Crying) (Crying)】

The Times — According to informed sources, Manchester United has blacklisted Tang Tang Zhengxiong; he will no longer be able to enter the Carrington base to visit Tom, but protected by FIFA regulations, Tang Tang Zhengxiong can still watch matches at Old Trafford stadium.

The Sun — Tom liked Sky Sports' interview video of Tom's dad and commented with three crying emojis.

"Tom's mentality has been affected; Liwupu has almost already won this match."

【... Only Tang Tang Qiuwang himself can pull off these stunts.】

【After betrayal by family, one becomes stronger; isn't that how all wuxia novels are written? I feel GGBond is about to break through to the next realm.】

【Tang Ye's dad got blacklisted by Manchester United, so who will pick Tang Ye up from school in the future?】

【Still living in the previous version; Tang Ye graduated long ago, scoring 30 points in the Gaokao math exam!】

【The person above is done for; go check if your private messages have exploded.】

Tang Tang Zhengxiong's involvement gave the originally tense Double Red Derby a new point of interest.

Today is a father-son showdown!

In the father-son showdown during the first half of the league season, Tang Ye narrowly managed to win by a slim margin.

But today, it probably won't be that easy.

The arrival of Fan Daike, the 80-million-euro center-back!

Manchester United's super-strong offense versus Liwupu's super-strong defense; today's match can have only one victor!

"China Central Television! Here is the live broadcast bringing you..."

"As we can see, standing in the player tunnel wearing the number 10 red jersey is Manchester United's midfielder Tang Ye, who just received the Premier League Player of the Month award for February half a week ago!"

In the player tunnel, Tang Ye exchanged greetings with Mané and Lovren.

When Van Dijk extended his hand, Tang Ye hesitated for a moment.

He had been tackled by Van Dijk during the previous match against Southampton, and Tang Ye was acutely aware of this.

But then...

Since Van Dijk was willing to extend his hand first, perhaps the matter could be considered settled.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded, and the players slowly walked out from the tunnel.

A sudden chill hit his nose; Tang Ye looked up at the sky.

Hm, it's raining again!

"Wasn't it sunny when we got off the bus just now?"

Tang Ye said to Rashford, "But it's all the same; it's not very cold today."

The temperature hovered around 10 degrees Celsius, with drizzle and a slight breeze.

This weather wasn't ideal for a passer like Tang Ye, as both rain and wind would affect passing accuracy.

But for Tang Ye, this fresh and cool sensation was truly excellent.

When one's mood is good, the football played will be better too!

"The match has begun; now I will introduce the starting lineups for both sides..."

Liwupu (4-3-3)

Goalkeeper: Karius

Defenders: Robertson, Van Dijk, Lovren, Alexander-Arnold

Midfielders: Milner, Emre Can, Chamberlain

Forwards: Mané, Firmino, Salah

Head Coach: Klopp

The match had only just started, yet the director's camera cut directly to Bailly on the substitutes' bench.

The return of the starting center-back from injury was absolutely good news for Manchester United.

It remained unknown whether Bailly would be able to feature in this important match.

After showing Bailly, the director locked onto Tang Tang Zhengxiong in the stands; Tom's Dad was waving to the Manchester United fans.

"Tom's Dad!"

"Boooooo—!!!!"

Although Tang Tang Zhengxiong was Tang Ye's father, he was ultimately a Liwupu fan.

Before the end of the Double Red Derby, the Manchester United fans would not treat him kindly!

By the 15th minute of the match, the situation on the field remained relatively stable.

Manchester United's possession rate was, unsurprisingly, lower, but not by much.

This level of possession was acceptable for Manchester United.

Even...

Fan Fan Dejiahe narrowed his eyes.

Liwupu's ball control ability shouldn't be this weak!

Was their form poor?

If their form was indeed poor, then Liwupu's unusually low possession rate could be explained.

But there was another possible explanation.

That was that Klopp had other ideas!

A tactic capable of defeating Manchester United at Old Trafford!

Thinking of this, Fan Fan Dejiahe suddenly grew tense and glanced toward Klopp's position on the adjacent substitutes' bench.

Then he looked at Ten Hag.

In the end, he could discern nothing.

He could only adapt to the actual situation as it unfolded!

Slap!

Alexander-Arnold launched a precise long pass from the backfield, finding Salah.

Salah brought the ball under control!

He dribbled forward!

Salah was incredibly fast!

The Manchester United players began retreating!

Ashley Young was extremely focused.

After all, facing a forward of Salah's caliber required him to bring his absolute best form.

Salah dribbled closer, step by step!

"Here!" Both Mané and Firmino on the left were ready!

Salah chose to dribble himself!

There was a chance!

Ashley Young quickly extended his leg, poking the ball straight out of bounds.

"Fuck!"

Roaring in anger, he then spat a mouthful of saliva onto the ground; the Liwupu winger was clearly dissatisfied with his performance just now.

When dribbling, the ball is too far from his body!

This is simply handing opportunities to Manchester United!

"Come on, come on!"

Ten Hag clapped his hands rapidly, encouraging Manchester United's defenders.

In the past twenty minutes of the match, he had captured a crucial piece of information: Salah was not in good form today!

"Push forward, push forward, attack!"

Manchester United still intended to focus primarily on offense today.

In the 27th minute of the match, Rodri completed a steal in his own half.

First advancing with the ball himself, he passed it forward to Tang Ye once he reached the vicinity of the center circle.

Let's see what Big Brother will do next!

Similarly dribbling the ball himself, Tang Ye moved diagonally toward the left flank.

Find a good opportunity!

!

Slap!

【De Bruyne Curved Through Ball Lv5: Replication (Transcendent State)】

Proficiency: 89/3500

The through ball found Rashford, who was pushing forward.

Tang Ye had specifically calculated this through ball; relying on Rashford's speed, he could just barely reach it.

"Faster, faster!"

Tang Ye urged Rashford to go wide to the byline, while he himself ran toward the top of the arc.

Rashford faced Alexander-Arnold in a one-on-one!

Accelerate toward the byline!

Cut inside!

A very simple move, but relying on his incredibly fast change of direction, Rashford successfully shook off Alexander-Arnold.

Bang!

He passed the ball to Tang Ye!

Tang Ye was pressed by defenders, so he decisively jumped up and used his heel to knock the ball back to Haller inside the penalty area.

Then he turned!

At that exact moment, Haller and Tang Ye were thinking the same thing; the Manchester United striker kicked the ball back.

Tang Ye!

Bang!

Without controlling the ball, he immediately fired a long-range shot!

Karius!

The leaping Karius failed to touch the ball!

"Goooo——aaaaaa——lllll!!"

"Tang Ye scores with a long-range shot!"

"1:0!"

As a Liwupu fan, Zhan Jun did not feel very good right now, but his identity as the official commentator required him to remain objective.

"Roar!!!"

Tang Ye and Haller roared at each other, then ran toward the corner flag.

Knee slide!

Stood up.

"Haha!"

Tang Ye hugged two Manchester United fans below the stands, then turned and embraced his teammates tightly.

【You have obtained Counterattack Points *15】

【Father supervising the battle, you obtain extra Counterattack Points *1】

【Unfilial and rebellious, your Counterattack Points balance -2】

Unfilial and rebellious > Father supervising the battle; in the end, Tang Ye still lost 1 Counterattack Point.

But!

Because of his goal, Manchester United was now leading!

Check Dongqiu Di live match report: Tang Ye receives a pass back from Haller and shoots directly; Manchester United leads 1:0.

Liwupu had played quite well this season, but compared to the absurdly high competitive level of Manchester United, they still fell far short.

"Glory Glory Man United! (Glory belongs to Manchester United)"

Amidst the singing of the Manchester United fans, the second half kicked off, while the director cut the camera to Tang Tang Zhengxiong in the stands.

Tom's Dad revealed a dejected expression!

"Tom's Dad!"

"Xuuu——!!!"

If Liwupu failed to equalize, Tang Tang Zhengxiong would have to spend the remaining dozens of minutes amidst the boos of the Manchester United fans.

Facts proved that betraying one's son required paying a terrible price!

Leveraging their lead, Manchester United launched a massive offensive against Liwupu.

This is exactly what Manchester United is like this season; they love to extend a 1-0 lead to 2-0!

"Tang Ye is at the right-wing byline!"

"Hmm, that's a Cruyff turn!"

"Crossed in!"

"Direct shot!"

"Allé's volley is saved away by the goalkeeper Karius!"

"What a pity!"

Because of Fan Daike's pressure, Allé had far too little time to adjust inside the penalty area!

"It's fine, it's fine!"

Tang Ye and Allé raised their hands to signal, while Liwupu seized this opportunity to launch their counterattack.

Karius hugged the ball and ran to the edge of the penalty area!

Looking for an opening!

He threw the ball out with a volley!

Slap!

A long aerial pass; Karius found Mané upfront directly.

After controlling the ball slightly, Mané accelerated forward immediately!

Mané's speed is incredibly fast!

Let's see how Valencia handles this!

First signaling Smalling to return to the penalty area, Valencia ran toward the byline alongside Mané.

It was definitely too late to tackle; Valencia's most important task now was to prevent Mané from cutting into the penalty area.

Slap!

Mané hooked the ball with the outside of his foot, easily bringing it under control, then dribbled straight toward the penalty area, applying pressure.

Pretending he was about to enter the penalty area.

Seizing the chance!

Slap!

A square pass found Salah!

Salah!

A direct volley!

De Gea performed the 'Guanyin Sitting on a Lotus,' successfully blocking Salah's shot.

That was close!

Tang Ye let out a startled cry.

Everyone says Manchester United's counterattacks are fast and accurate.

But looking at it now, Liwupu's counterattack isn't much worse!

Although Manchester United was leading, Liwupu seemed to be gradually finding their rhythm.

"Wake up, wake up!"

Ashley Young shouted at the players; at this moment, Manchester United also launched their counterattack.

In the 41st minute of the first half, Manchester United created an excellent attacking opportunity; after receiving Herrera's pass, Tang Ye turned quickly and ran straight toward the goal.

Standing before him was Fan Daike!

Behind Fan Daike lay Liwupu's penalty area!

Tang Ye dribbled while observing.

Searching for a good opportunity!

He pushed the ball with his right foot toward Fan Daike, tricking him into stretching out his leg, then immediately pulled the ball back.

This was a variation of the V-drag!

Fan Daike remained quite cautious; Tang Ye's push-pull move did not fool the Liwupu center-back.

Swinging his right leg out!

This was a shooting motion; at this point, Fan Daike had to make a block!

However, this was a feinted shot meant as a real pass!

Tang Ye tapped the ball to Allé on the left, and Allé tapped it back!

Tang Ye burst past Fan Daike directly!

!!!

The penalty area lay just ahead; Fan Daike knew this clearly, so he decisively stretched out his leg and tripped Tang Ye.

Fan Daike's knee collided with Tang Ye's knee; the latter lost his balance and fell straight to the ground.

"Damn!"

Bang!

Intense pain shot up to his brain; Tang Ye hammered the turf fiercely with his fist, then clutched his lower leg.

"That's a clear foul!"

"Tang Ye had no time to dodge at all, but when he fell, his body hadn't entered the penalty area, so this should be a direct free kick."

"Hiss, Tang Ye's condition doesn't seem very good right now?"
