"You take it. You take the penalty."
Chelsea's goalkeeper pointed at Tang Ye. Tang Ye shrugged, then walked away.
Tang Ye was only one goal away from a hat-trick today, but Erling Haaland was Borussia Dortmund's first-choice penalty taker.
More importantly, Tang Ye knew that his penalty ability was roughly on par with Haaland's. When there was little difference in ability, competing for penalty-taking priority was highly inappropriate.
"Am I taking it?"
Haaland raised an eyebrow.

"Phew..."
Haaland took his position in the box. The goalkeeper hopped from side to side, his eyes filled with provocation.
"Bring out the best player on your team!"

"It's okay, it's okay."
Tang Ye squeezed Haaland's shoulder. "It's a small issue. It's fine."
"Phew..."
Haaland covered his face with both hands.
