Football: I am only 16 years old, and you want me to retire and make a comeback?

Chapter 105 Manchester United: New coach Ten Hag, contract lasts for 3 years (2 more monthly tickets requested!)
Manchester United official: Club manager Louis van Gaal has left the team.

Manchester Evening News front page headline: Manchester United management has contacted Ten Hag and will give official news within 3 weeks.

荷兰皇家足球协会：乌德勒支99号球员以79%的投票获得2015-16赛季荷甲联赛最佳球员。滕哈赫以92%的得票率当选赛季最佳主教练。

……

5月28日，欧冠决赛西甲内战打响，最终皇马在点球大战以5：3的比分战胜马德里竞技，成功拿下2015-16赛季的欧洲冠军联赛冠军。

"This is so cool!"

Tang Ye watched the game with his teammates in Ramselaar's living room.

The Champions League final is arguably the highest level football match in the world.

Even though both teams only scored one goal in regular time, from the perspective of players and tactics, this game was really enjoyable to watch.

Every pass and every move was handled just right.

Tang Ye turned to look at Ramselaar beside him and asked a very strange question: "Do you think you can guess a game of this level?"

"..."

Ramsellar rolled his eyes at Tang Ye and said, "Did you see the rhythm? If you go up there, you will lose the ball as soon as you get it. Ronaldo and Bale will put a lot of pressure on you, as will Griezmann and Torres."

"But we will play in the Champions League next season"

Tang Ye reminded.

As the champion of the Eredivisie, Utrecht has qualified for the UEFA Champions League in the 2016-17 season!
"We participated in the group stage, and now we are watching the knockout stage, and it's the final!"

Ramselaar corrected Tang Ye's mistake: "The knockout stage is much more intense than the group stage. I guess we can only play in the group stage next season. The knockout stage will be played by the top teams from the five major leagues."

"its not right"

Alai's words attracted the attention of Tang Ye and Ramselaar: "Tang, aren't you rumored to be with many teams? Are you still not sure if you will stay here next season?"

Alai's words left Tang Ye silent.

Just as Ale said, after the end of the Eredivisie, many teams from the top five leagues contacted Boll.

After training tomorrow afternoon, he will go to Wenzhou Restaurant again, where Boll will be waiting for him.

"So you'll go?"

"So you'll go?"

Ale and Ramseral asked at the same time, and Tang Ye simply stopped talking.

"Uh, uh, I don't know. Maybe? Maybe he won't leave?"

Alai and Ramseral looked at each other.

They heard some bad news from Tang Ye's words.

But think about it carefully.

The Eredivisie cannot retain talents. Tang Ye made 36 assists in one season. It is almost as difficult for Utrecht to keep Tang Ye as it is to bring Ten Hag back from Manchester United!

The cafeteria was suddenly covered by an eerie silence. Captain Ramselaar quickly stood up at this time: "It's okay, it's okay. Although the competition is over, the season is not over yet. We should focus on training, focus on training."

Although we say we are focused on training, everyone already has their own ideas in mind.

The games will end in mid-May, and the rest of the time will be used by teams to play in the Champions League qualifiers and Europa League qualifiers, but Utrecht is different. As champions, they enjoy the right to go directly to the Champions League group stage.

To put it bluntly, Utrecht doesn't need this training time at all, which is also the reason why the team's training intensity has been low recently.

The physical trainer arranged very little physical training for the players, with the aim of ensuring that those players who were about to leave the team would not make any mistakes when undergoing physical examinations with their new clubs.

And of course there is Ten Hag.

After winning the championship, Ten Hag would suddenly leave the base every two days, and the players knew what he was doing.

He is in contact with Manchester United staff!

The great Mr. Eric is really leaving!
……

After training the next afternoon, Tang Ye came to the Wenzhou restaurant where he and Boll had agreed to meet.

In the past, Tang Ye and Boll always ate directly in the hall, but after Tang Ye became popular in the Dutch football circle, Boll decided to meet in the innermost private room with a round table for 12 people.

It was said to be a private room for 12 people, but in fact there were only two people in it, Boll and Tang Ye, and the table was covered with documents.

"Um...do I need to read all of this?"

Tang Ye pointed at the papers on the table. It was such a thick stack that he estimated it would take him several hours to finish reading it.

"Oh, no, of course not."

Boll picked out the most critical ones from the information.

"There are currently 19 teams that have asked Utrecht for your offer..."

“How many are there in the top five leagues?”

Tang Ye interrupted Boll, who had an "I knew it" smile on his face.

"We already knew about Sevilla and Frankfurt, and now there are three more teams from Ligue 1. However, the attitudes of those three teams are not very firm, so I don't think it is feasible."

"Sevilla and Frankfurt have a clear stance, but..."

Boll added: "Utrecht's asking price for you is no less than 2000 million euros"

In April, Utrecht offered an asking price for Tang Ye, which was about 4 million euros.

But April was April, June was June, and now things are completely different.

"I rely on?"

Hearing this number, Tang Ye's upper body leaned back unconsciously.

2000 million euros, Utrecht wants to get back all the money they spent on De Jong.

And you can earn a lot!
"Considering your performance this season, I think this is actually a relatively low transfer fee."

As an agent, Boll told Tang Ye some things that he didn't understand.

"You were just promoted from the second team, and you only have data from this season. You have no stability, and..."

Boll's voice suddenly softened: "Tang, I didn't mean to offend you..."

"Just say it directly"

Tang Ye is not a sensitive person.

"They think you lose the ball too many times"

"..."

Boll said that Tang Ye frequently lost the ball in the Eredivisie, which made it impossible for scouts and coaches from the five major league clubs to make a proper estimate of his strength.

"Sevilla was very positive at first. After winning the Eredivisie title, their boss even raised the price for you to 1500 million euros, which was very close to Utrecht's goal. But after seeing your detailed game data, Sevilla was worried that you wouldn't be able to hold onto the ball during the game..."

Paul felt a little embarrassed.

But it is indeed true.

Because of losing the ball too many times, Sevilla's enthusiasm for Tang Ye has declined somewhat.

La Liga teams all pay more attention to passing and controlling the ball, and Tang Ye obviously cannot meet their requirements.

"What about Frankfurt?"

Tang Ye asked again.

However, when asked about Frankfurt, Boll suddenly fell silent.

"what happened?"

"Well, Frankfurt's attitude was very positive, but they have gradually become unresponsive in recent months."

Boll smiled awkwardly: "The Bundesliga has the same law as the Netherlands that minors cannot work at night. Frankfurt is worried about their coach."

I rely on?

Tang Ye stretched his neck.

Is there such a thing?
No one expected that Tang Ye would not be able to play in Germany's first-tier league because of his underage status.

grandma's!
"Well, is there anything else?"

Tang Ye continued to ask.

"Well, none of the remaining teams can meet the 2000 million euro offer"

Tang Ye probably understood what Boll meant, and the rest of the teams were just talking nonsense!
"But don't worry, like I said before, you can go to Benfica," Pol suddenly said, "Benfica in the Portuguese Super League, they also qualify for the Champions League. 2000 million euros is too much, but if we can negotiate it down to around 1500 million euros, this price is acceptable to them."

"..."

Tang Ye was silent for about a minute, and finally gave his answer: "Wait a minute."

Thinking of the Champions League final he watched at Ramsellar's house last night, Tang Ye added: "Especially the La Liga teams."

The Spanish team's extremely sophisticated passing and control is exactly what Tang Ye is pursuing.

He is a holding midfielder!
……

The front page headline of Kicker - Utrecht's new star Tang is under 18 years old, and his playing in the Bundesliga will also be restricted by law. Frankfurt's top management is worried about their coach Kovac.

L'Equipe - Lyon made an offer to Utrecht for Don, but the two sides were unable to reach an agreement on the transfer fee.

The two pieces of news received quite a bit of attention on the football website, and Chinese football fans also had heated discussions on the topic.

[Fuck, what's going on? The Bundesliga is also 18+ for matches like the Eredivisie, right?]

[Come on, come on, why not just go to Manchester United with Ten Hag? The British don’t play that kind of thing.]

[I thought being young was an advantage for Mungo, but I didn’t expect that Mungo would not be able to play in the Bundesliga due to his age]

[Tang Ye: If I were one year older, I might have gone to the top five leagues]

[So can I go to the top five leagues? ]

[Don't worry, Tang Ye's assist level is already a level higher than the Eredivisie, 36 assists in a single season, do you think this kind of player can stay in the Eredivisie? ]

Fans on the football website Dongqiudi are also concerned about Tang Ye. After the transfer window opens, any news containing the word "Tang Ye" will receive a lot of attention.

On June 6, the opening match of the European Cup between France and Romania kicked off. Just after France defeated Romania 10:2, Utrecht officials posted a tweet via Twitter.

FC Utrecht: Club manager Erik ten Hag @Eriktenhag87 has left the club.

Just one sentence directly became a hot search on major platforms. On Football Emperor, the news of Ten Hag’s departure even surpassed the European Cup!

Although it is still unknown who Ten Hag's next club will be, everyone already has an idea.

Manchester United!

It was Manchester United who took Erik ten Hag away!

The damn American consortium is preventing Utrecht from going on the right path!
……

Just two days after the news broke, Ten Hag sent a message in the Utrecht first team's WhatsApp group, saying that he wanted to invite the players to dinner.

Ten Hahe knew Tang Ye very well, and he called Tang Ye before sending the message.

“Are you still in the Netherlands now? Have you returned to China?”

“I’m still here”

Tang Ye said.

"Haha, I guessed it. Is it because of the transfer?"

According to Tang Ye's character, if he had a holiday, he would definitely run across the country as soon as possible.

But Tang Ye didn't do that, and there was only one reason for that.

He is waiting for news from his agent, Boll.

If no team can complete a deal with Utrecht, Tang Ye will have to come forward to renew his contract with the club.

That's why he's still at the club.

"I'll treat you to dinner at Saigon Caphé on the 14th. Are you free to come?"

"No time"

"..."

"Why don't you take some time to come over, then everyone will be here."

Ten Hag hung up the phone, and Joel, the Manchester United transfer director sitting opposite him, suddenly said: "That Tang seems to be a good player? Have you ever thought about bringing him to Manchester United?"

With 36 assists in a single season in the Eredivisie, Joel had to take Tang Ye seriously.

The most important thing is that Tang Ye is very cheap, at a price of 2000 million euros, which is completely acceptable to Manchester United.

However, I still need to ask the opinion of the new Manchester United coach in front of me.

Eric ten Hag, he is the one who knows Tang Ye best!

Ten Hahe, who had just finished a call, put his phone on the table: "Tang? I think it's better to forget it."

"never mind?"

Joel was a little surprised by what Ten Hag said: "Eric, can I know what you think?"

"Don's strengths and weaknesses are too obvious. I have learned about Manchester United. The current Manchester United is a matter of reconstruction after decline. What Manchester United needs is stable players, stable modern players."

Ten Hag said slowly: "Don can only use his right foot. His left foot has basically no ability. This is not feasible in modern football. He can't adapt to the fast-paced games in the Premier League and La Liga."

“It’s a pity actually…”

Ten Hahe sighed.

Tang Ye’s long passes are indeed very lethal, but he does not have the ability to hold the ball.

A midfielder but unable to hold the ball and only able to use one foot, this is a fatal weakness.

After listening to Ten Hahe's explanation, Joel nodded.

It has to be said that Ten Hag's understanding of the Premier League and the player Tang Ye are very thorough.

No wonder he is the best coach in the Eredivisie this season.

He is really capable!
……

Manchester United official: Eric ten Hag is the team's new coach and his contract lasts for 3 years.

After Manchester United officially announced the news of Ten Hag's joining, Tang Ye and Ten Hag received the awards for the best player of the season and the best coach of the season at the training base.

Tang Ye hasn't returned home yet. He traveled around Europe with a Dutch model he met on Instagram, and was waiting for news on her transfer.

During this period, some fans suggested in the comment section of Tang Ye's Instagram that he and Ten Hag go to Manchester United together.

It’s a pity that Tang Ye was not very interested in the Premier League and Manchester United, so he just glanced over it.

After the European Cup in July, Tang Ye received a call from Boll and returned to Utrecht. With Boll's help, he decided on his next club.

In accordance with the agreement with his teammates, Tang Ye posted the news of his departure in the Utrecht first team WhatsApp group.

Ding Dong!

Immediately Tang Ye's cell phone rang, and Alai said he wanted to invite Tang Ye to dinner.

Of course Tang Ye did not refuse, and the two of them came to a Wenzhou restaurant next to the base.

"So Don, where is your next club?"

Tang Ye held his head with both hands: "I will not transfer directly. The transfer encountered some obstacles. The agent and the club finally decided to loan me out."

"It's all the same, so... where will you be loaned to?"

Alai looked up into Tang Ye's eyes, who had a smile on his face.

“I went to Villarreal”

……

In the evening, Alai returned to his home.

Pulling up a chair and sitting down, the Ivorian stared at the Eredivisie Golden Boot on his desk and made a decision.

A very important decision!

……

PS: Villarreal’s nickname is “Yellow Submarine”, which is sometimes referred to as “Yellow Submarine” in the following text.

As for why he didn't go directly to Manchester United, if Tang Ye goes to Manchester United now, the effect won't be that great, and the players in Manchester United are in average shape at the moment, so it will be impossible to write about their games when the time comes, so let the Eredivisie's best head coach go there to pave the way!
Ten Hag has developed well, but Tang Ye is still in the development stage, so we must not be anxious at this time.

Today's update is 2.1w+, and it has been 8w+ for 2 consecutive days. Brothers, please give me your monthly votes.

Don’t save your monthly votes until the end of the month. The earlier you vote, the better the exposure effect will be. The votes at the end of the month will be reset to zero in a few days!

Kneel down and thank you!
