Chapter 631: The Bayern Killer Slowly Raises His Scythe

The 29th minute!

At this moment, five minutes have passed since Lewandowski scored from the penalty spot.

Clearly, Bayern also understood that Dortmund was not an easy opponent to handle, so after scoring, they immediately slowed down their attacking tempo.

Bayern grew steadier as the match progressed.

Because they were currently the top team in Fan Fan Dejia; as long as they could finish the match with a 1:0 scoreline, it would be a monumental victory for Bayern!

【2020-21 Fan Fan Dejia League Standings (if the score remains until the end)】

1. Bayern, 19 points.

2. Dortmund, 15 points.

Originally the gap was one point; now it has widened to four points, which is indeed somewhat hard to accept.

Additionally, Leipzig's seventh-round match next door has not yet kicked off.

If Dortmund loses this match, they are very likely to directly lose their position as second in the league!

"Left, pass to the left!"

Escrivá shouted from the sidelines: "Focus a bit more, hey, you can play the ball now!"

On the right touchline, Reus, in possession, was surrounded by defenders and had no chance to break out.

Bang!

The ball struck Kimmich directly.

The ball rebounded out and was collected by Pogba.

Kimmich and Müller both went to press Pogba!

Time for the move!

Pogba dragged the ball with his right foot and tucked it behind his left.

Dragged back!

Bang!

A smooth pull-and-push maneuver; Pogba successfully nutmegged Müller.

Beautiful!

The move was incredibly cool; after completing the nutmeg, Pogba sent the ball rolling straight to Reus's feet.

"Hey!"

Just at this moment, Tang Ye called for the ball in the center.

Reus played the pass.

It was a high ball!

Tang Ye positioned himself at the edge of the arc!

Left foot!

Pretending to volley, Tang Ye instead tucked his left foot behind his right and played a rainbow flick pass.

The ball hit the grass, traced an arc, and arrived near the right post.

This was Haaland's position!

Bang!

"ttttooooorrrrrr!!!!"

"Haaland!"

"Goal by Haaland!"

"Beautiful!"

"That pass, haha, truly unexpected!"

An unexpected rainbow flick pass combined with Haaland's excellent finishing.

Dortmund equalized!

"Erling!"

Tang Ye roared; Haaland charged straight toward him, grabbed Tang Ye's shoulders with both hands, and opened his mouth wide, shouting wildly.

【Taste the pork!】

【Damn, so fierce】

【Pogba and Tang Ye, a combination of imagination; Bayern has been tricked into looking like fools】

【The number one candidate for World Mr. teaches the number two candidate a lesson; yes, talking about you, Lewandowski!】

【Stop eating, stop eating!】

"Tang Ye!"

"Tang Ye!"

"Wow!!!!"

Haaland was the one who scored, yet the fans were chanting Tang Ye's name.

That's how it is when you become famous; players of the caliber of Messi, Ronaldo, and Tang Ye can win the crowd's cheers with just one or two cool moves.

【You have received a new mission】

【Mission Objective: Provide 10 assists to Haaland in Fan Fan Dejia, Champions League, and German Cup matches (earning a penalty that is then converted counts as one assist)】

【Mission Progress: 0/10】

A new mission!

This was the first time Tang Ye had received a mission related to a teammate.

He had to provide assists, and the recipient was fixed; he must pass to Haaland.

Designating one player to deliver ten passes sounds somewhat difficult.

However, Tang Ye felt it was fine; after all, he knew better than anyone just how powerful Haaland's shooting ability was.

The 40th minute!

On the substitutes' bench, Sancho began his warm-up, immediately sparking waves of cheers from the Dortmund fans in the stands.

"Jadon Sancho! The king of dribbles in last season's Fan Fan Dejia!"

"When is Escrivá planning to sub Sancho in?"

"..."

"Tang Ye! Ah, Tang Ye!"

"Beautiful! A one-on-one dribble through the center!"

With no feints whatsoever, relying purely on pure feints, Tang Ye successfully shook off Müller, who was marking him.

Slowing down, he played a combination pass with Bellingham.

Regaining possession of the ball!

After showing off a bit, Tang Ye prepared to send a header pass into the box for Haaland, but Kimmich, Coman, and Goretzka all charged up simultaneously.

Including Müller, that made four players attacking from four different directions, locking Tang Ye in as if he were surrounded by four walls.

Damn...

Whoosh!

In a moment of urgency, Tang Ye executed a rainbow flick, attempting to send the ball safely over their heads.

The ball went through, but Tang Ye suffered a brutal double-team shut-down by Kimmich and Goretzka.

The two Bayern players squeezed Tang Ye tightly in between, causing him to only watch helplessly as the ball flew past through the air.

"Fuck!"

Shoving Goretzka aside, Tang Ye shook his hand.

"Beep beep beep!!"

"Foul, it's a foul!"

The referee called a foul on Bayern, but in reality, this foul was quite useless.

If Tang Ye's rainbow flick just now had succeeded, the Bayern goal would most likely have been in trouble!

Check Dongqiu Di halftime report: Lewandowski penalty, Tang Ye's rainbow assist plus a yellow card; the first half of the National Derby ends in a 1-1 draw between Dortmund and Bayern.

"Stop complaining; this is your own problem. If you have the skill, then dribble past them."

Jerome Jerome Boateng shouted at Tang Ye in front of the player tunnel: "Why are you the one getting the yellow card? Think about it carefully!"

"Idiot, I don't understand a word you're saying! (English)"

Tang Ye tossed out a remark before being pushed away by Haaland: "It's nothing, nothing, forget it Tom, it's not a big issue."

Glug glug!

Pfft!

Gulping down water and then spitting it all into the trash bin, Tang Ye afterwards poured water over his arm; the colorless water turned red with blood, dripping and scattering onto the ground.

It was merely a superficial wound, but the opponent's constant fouling was truly giving Tang Ye a headache.

While both coaches were synchronizing tactics with their players in the locker rooms, in the CCTV broadcast studio at that moment, Zhan Jun and Huang Huang Jianxiang sat together, facing the camera.

"Although it's currently a draw, both sides are struggling quite a bit."

"Correct, especially regarding Tang Ye. Since Bayern has suffered at Tang Ye's hands before, and not just once, almost every time Tang Ye receives the ball, he gets targeted."

According to the summary given by the two commentators, the situation on the field was roughly as follows.

When Tang Ye received the ball, if he didn't pass it within one second, at least two opponents would be standing in front of him immediately afterward.

Tang Ye possessed decent physical confrontation abilities, but he couldn't withstand Bayern's continuous double-team shut-downs.

Two defensive players sticking together.

If the door is already closed, how can you possibly get in?

"I've said it before, Kimmich, your task is solely to mark TY; that is your only task. I do not need you to participate in any attacks."

Flick emphasized this point additionally to Kimmich.

"Furthermore, we had best keep possession of the ball on their side."

"High press, still high press; this is the answer for today's match, say nothing else!"

Tang Ye and Bellingham were truly disgusting, not to mention Pogba lurking behind and occasionally delivering those soul-stealing passes.

Playing defensively was strenuous for Bayern, but if they could maintain possession in the opponent's half, Bayern's pressure would inevitably decrease significantly.

"But..."

Lewandowski suddenly spoke up: "In the Champions League, we played Manchester United exactly like this, and we still lost."

"Are we playing Manchester United today?"

Flick's words left Lewandowski speechless.

Today they were not playing Manchester United...

Actually, after playing the first half, Lewandowski had a strange feeling.

That was, in certain aspects, Dortmund's offensive threats were even more exaggerated than Manchester United's.

Allar and Martial would sometimes disappear.

This Haaland truly does not joke around with you!

The second half began quickly.

"Bayern!"

"Xuuuu!!!!"
