The Hornets' Lineup Has Fully Gelled, and the Bundesliga Assist King Has Been Born (Bonus Chapter!)
RB Leipzig played a 3-4-2-1, while Borussia Dortmund still used a 3-2-4-1. Tang Ye and Jude Bellingham were positioned almost level with the two wingers.
If any other team played a 3-2-4-1, it would definitely turn into a formation with four wide midfielders.
But if Borussia Dortmund played a 3-2-4-1, then sorry—it was straight-up 3.5 wingers plus 0.5 attacking midfielder.
Why?
Because Tang Ye was half winger, half attacking midfielder!
Smack!
Guerrero threaded a through ball from the back, targeting Sancho as he moved toward the byline on the right.
Sancho prepared to bring the ball down!
The instant Sancho was about to control it, the Borussia Dortmund winger suddenly lifted his foot and let the ball roll straight past him.
The ball fell to Tang Ye!
"Whoa! When did Tang Ye get over there?!"
"That was a completely unexpected run! Tang Ye and Sancho have switched positions!"
"Xuuu!!!"
Displeased cries erupted from the home fans near the touchline as Tang Ye carried the ball toward the byline himself.
He nudged it forward little by little with the outside of his boot!
Halstenberg moved in to intercept Tang Ye, with Angeliño coming over to help as well.
"Middle, middle!"
Tang Ye signaled for Bellingham to make a forward run through the middle, then called Sancho over to combine with him.
Sancho's support successfully drew Angeliño's attention away. Tang Ye immediately dropped his shoulder and cut inside.
Pretending to be Lionel Messi!
Not thirty-year-old Messi, though—twenty-one-year-old Messi!
A shoulder drop to shift his opponent's balance, combined with half a La Croqueta, and Tang Ye successfully cut inside.
He ran toward the penalty area, but getting into the box at this point was basically impossible, so Tang Ye made another move.
Smack!
