Chapter 727: Fame Achieved at Saint-Maximin, But Defeated Miserably

"Wow!!!!"

Woodman sat on the grass.

For a top-tier penalty taker like Tang Ye, guessing the direction of their kick was truly too difficult.

Woodman had failed, and his team would have to pay the price for it.

"A goal for Manchester United, but, hiss... Newcastle isn't feeling very comfortable right now..."

For Newcastle, maintaining a 1-1 scoreline was already no easy feat; behind it lay the efforts of all eleven players on the field.

Yet, the moment this penalty was awarded, all of Newcastle's efforts were declared void.

"..."

Woodman sat on the ground, staring wide-eyed at Hayden, until finally the Newcastle defender lowered his head.

"Brilliant."

Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Ye clapped hands, then signaled the players on the field to adjust quickly.

He wanted to score!

"Take me home~~ United road~"

"..."

In the 40th minute, not long after the penalty incident, Cristiano Ronaldo was pulled down by Russell outside the penalty area.

"Beep beep beep!!!"

"Fuck you!"

"You idiot, stop pulling people recklessly!"

"Xuuu!!!"

Tang Ye pulled Cristiano Ronaldo up.

After the referee awarded a direct free kick, the two began whispering to each other.

"Can I take this one?"

Cristiano Ronaldo looked into Tang Ye's eyes: "I can take the direct free kick."

Judging by the situation over the past few minutes, it was basically impossible to snatch ball-taking rights from Tang Ye.

For Cristiano Ronaldo, this was undoubtedly a very unpleasant matter.

If he couldn't get the penalty rights, settling for a direct free kick as a second choice was actually acceptable.

"You want to take it?"

Tang Ye was somewhat surprised.

Because in Tang Ye's memory, Cristiano Ronaldo's free-kick prowess was at its peak around the age of twenty.

"I recall you suffered a knee injury."

Tang Ye shrugged, the subtext being that Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't kick the ball with sufficient speed.

Seeing Cristiano Ronaldo still insist on taking it, Tang Ye indicated he would pass to the Portuguese.

"Are you sure?"

"Mm, just get inside; I'll pass to you."

Tang Ye placed one hand on Cristiano Ronaldo's shoulder, lifted his head slightly, and leaned his mouth close to Cristiano Ronaldo's ear: "Make a diagonal run inside; that way it's easier for me to pass."

Cristiano Ronaldo covered his mouth, said nothing, and nodded to show he understood.

"Beep!!!"

"Hoo..."

Pa!

【De Bruyne Curved Through Pass Lv6: Not Ashamed to Ask】

Seizing the gap between Russell and Clark, Tang Ye played a through ball straight toward the innermost empty space.

Cristiano Ronaldo unleashed his instincts as a hunter, starting early; by the time he built up speed, he had already reached the open position.

Woodman charged forward too!

Bang!

Cristiano Ronaldo blasted the shot into the net.

"Goal!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo!"

"Beautiful!"

"Haha, this is Cristiano Ronaldo's first goal since returning to Manchester United!"

Although watching via broadcast, fans in front of their televisions could still sense the atmosphere on site.

Old Trafford exploded almost instantly.

"Wow!!!"

Cristiano Ronaldo accelerated, running toward the sideline.

Triple jump!

Three!

Two!

One!

The Portuguese swung both arms down sharply, and the fans, long prepared, immediately responded.

"Siuuuu!!!!"

"Haha!"

Dalot hugged C. Ronaldo's head, shouting his name.

"Nice, haha!"

Tang Ye spread his hands and walked toward C. Ronaldo: "I told you so, Cristiano."

"Haha! Fuck!"

Tang Ye gave C. Ronaldo a hug as well.

"..."

"Ronaldo! Viva Ronaldo!"

Bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

Halftime report: Manchester United leads Newcastle 3:1; Tang Ye with two assists and one goal, C. Ronaldo scores his first goal since returning to Manchester United.

【Tearing up, brothers】

【GGbond is really giving face; Brother Luo, you'd better be sensible about this】

【Hehe, guessed it right; sure enough, he scored in the very first match】

【Wait, C. Ronaldo scores and Ten Hag doesn't celebrate? I really couldn't hold it in】

C. Ronaldo scores and Ten Hag doesn't celebrate?

Fans' comments on Check Dongqiu Di caught many people's attention.

Hurry to watch the replay.

Well, during the replay, the director didn't give Ten Hag a camera shot.

Then we can only go to Bilibili and YouTube to find videos filmed by fans at the scene.

East Stand perspective, less than 10 meters from Ten Hag.

Tang Ye takes the free kick.

C. Ronaldo arrives at a gallop, blasting the ball into the net with one shot.

In the frame, fans in the first few rows suddenly raised their hands, causing nothing to be seen at the first moment.

The fan holding a phone quickly raised it high to prove it.

Before the goal, Ten Hag stood with hands in pockets.

After the goal, still hands in pockets.

Hiss...

Because the view was blocked for a short time, some things seem hard to confirm.

But...

Judging solely by Ten Hag's posture, the Manchester United manager seemingly did not celebrate this goal at all!

Wait, Erik Ten Hag, what the hell are you doing!

Could it be that what that Chelsea homestay owner said earlier is coming true?

PS: Refers to Ten Hag and C. Ronaldo not being familiar with each other, but the club's senior management forcibly completing the transfer, thereby triggering a "passive conflict" between the two.

Hmm...

C. Ronaldo's attitude toward Ten Hag remains unclear for now.

But what can be confirmed is that Ten Hag seemingly does not like this new striker of Manchester United.

Second half.

60th minute.

The attack broke down immediately; Tang Ye directly dropped deep to defend, filling Luke Shaw's defensive gap.

Longstaff plays a cutback to Saint-Maximin.

Rodri was just about to step up, but Tang Ye immediately chased him away.

"I got it!"

A command from the captain; Rodri immediately retreated, leaving Saint-Maximin to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye moved along with Saint-Maximin.

The Newcastle forward's rhythm changes quickly, but Tang Ye's reaction is also fast; this is how he always manages to keep up with the opponent's rhythm changes.

Saint-Maximin's next move will be to pass the ball to...

"Fuck!"

Just as he thought the opponent would pass, Saint-Maximin made a feint and kicked the ball straight through Tang Ye's legs.
