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

Chapter 354 Tang Ye’s 40th Birthday, a True Premier League Veteran

League, FA Cup, and Champions League...

Walking out of the conference room, Tang Ye's brain was working quickly.

Mr. Eric's speech made him feel the pressure.

But Mr. Eric is not wrong, the League Cup championship is just the beginning.

If Manchester United players want to win more championships, they must focus on the next games!
Pursuing more championships, this is what they need to do now!
Tang Ye was thinking about the championship they might win, when Rashford suddenly ran up from behind and patted Tang Ye on the shoulder.

"Tom, there is a school shuttle bus donation event in a week. If you donate money, the school will provide free shuttle bus service to students who cannot afford the bus fee. Do you want to participate?"

Rashford looked expectant.

Tang Ye's fan base is several times larger than his.

With Tom's help, Charity Mouse's donation activities will become much easier!
"Of course Marcus, I will definitely attend"

Tang Ye likes to do activities with Rashford, and the feeling he gives can also make him feel happy.

Tom and Jerry are also a great combination!

"By the way, Marcus, we can call Rod, he will come too."

2＞1, if the big brother and little brother combination also show up, then this donation will become much easier.

What Tang Ye likes most is to stick together!

Well, let’s also bring Sebastian over. It is said that after transferring to Manchester United, Allais’ weekly salary has increased almost 4 times!

The morning training started. The Manchester United players who had just won the championship were very excited, so the training atmosphere was also very good.

Tang Ye now only wants to win more championships so that he and his teammates can always be happy like this!

"Marcus, look at me, look at me!"

After getting ready, Tang Ye rushed directly into the penalty area from the top of the arc.

Jump up!
boom!
De Gea made a save, but Tang Ye made a perfect header!
[Header: 53 → 55]

After jumping up, he headed the ball into the dead corner. His outstanding performance directly increased Tang Ye's heading attribute by 2 points. It was simply too strong.

"What the fuck Tom!"

Mata hugged his head and said, "Is this a guess?"

"Hey Mata, I played well and you said I was lucky, how can that be possible"

Tang Ye spread his hands: "That's a blind spot. You can't guess a ball of this level. It depends on strength, strength!"

"Ha ha"

De Gea gave Tang Ye a thumbs up and said, "That's awesome! If you can hit a ball like this in a game, no one will ever say you can't head the ball."

"The fans spread the rumor that I can't head the ball. I have always been a great header player."

Tang Ye touched his head. His hair was relatively short among all Manchester United players.

Guys with short hair should have great heading skills!

"Stop it Tom!"

Van der Gag's voice came from outside the stadium: "Can you get one header opportunity in three games? Focus on your strengths, your strengths!"

"I know, I know!"

Tang Ye and Vandergaard raised their hands and then turned their attention to the system.

Tang Ye (39 years old)
[Ball possession: 86; Passing: 89]

[Shots: 78; Headers: 55; Set-pieces: 76]

[Speed: 75; Endurance: 74; Physical Confrontation: 79]

[Defense: 71; Vision: 97]

Overall Rating: 84
According to Tang Ye's own analysis, shooting, set pieces, and physical confrontation are all attributes that may be upgraded next.

Among these three attributes, what Tang Ye most wants to upgrade is physical confrontation.

From 79 to 80, I can’t imagine how strong Tang Ye’s body will become by then.

He will knock down all opponents who stand in his way.

Just like a great football player!
……

Hot discussion among football experts: Mengniu Dairy plans to invest RMB 22 billion in advertising and marketing in the Russia World Cup, including US$5000 million in World Cup sponsorship. In addition, Mengniu Dairy will seek star endorsements for the World Cup, and Tang Ye may be considered the first choice.

"Mengniu has a strong intention to sign Tang Ye. Messi and Mbappe will also be candidates."

On March 3, Tang Ye and Boll agreed to meet at a local Chinese restaurant in Manchester to discuss the endorsement.

Originally, Tang Ye and Boll agreed to discuss the endorsement after the end of the season, but the current situation is that the company wants to sign a contract with Tang Ye earlier to facilitate publicity during the World Cup preparation period.

Mengniu for RMB 4500 million and Hisense TV for RMB 4200 million are the two endorsement contracts that Ball has already negotiated.

“Well, they are all domestic companies.”

Of course, I have heard of Mengniu and Hisense Tangye.

"certainly"

Boll said as a matter of course: "It would be most appropriate to find a local star, but sponsors generally do not think you can enter the knockout stage, otherwise I should be able to negotiate more than 5000 million."

Tang Ye and Boll studied Manchester United's schedule in March, and finally put the endorsement contract with Mengniu after the Champions League knockout rounds.

"By the way, I have to tell you in advance that you will have a lot of sponsors, so the next few months will be a bit busy."

"A lot? How much is that?"

"Almost 40 companies have contacted me, but there are many duplicates among them, but there are still many after removing the duplicates."

Duplicate endorsements are a common problem. For example, after Tang Ye signed a contract with Mengniu, he could no longer sign with Yili. This is certain.

"Well……"

Tang Ye nodded slightly.

He felt that the endorsement was a bit annoying, but reason told him that he should not refuse these things.

After all, that’s nearly 1 million RMB!
A lot!
Tang Ye’s annual salary while playing for Manchester United is just over 1 million RMB!

……

Football Emperor match preview: In the 3th round of the Premier League on the early morning of March 6, Manchester United will play against Crystal Palace away. Can the Red Devils get off to a good start in March?

After March, all competitions became intense.

欧冠1/8决赛，足总杯1/4决赛，这都是3月份曼联需要面对的赛事！

The night before the game against Crystal Palace, Manchester United players celebrated in the cafeteria.

Four tables were put together, with an extra-large cake in the middle with candles on it.

19, this is Tang Ye’s current age!

Today is Tom's birthday!

"Damn, this cake is really big..."

Tang Ye sat on the table and remained alert.

It would be terrible if some nasty guy suddenly pressed his head on such a big cake!

"Of course, this is for 40 people. I told the baker that I didn't want a multi-layered one, so he made a super big one."

Mata had a proud look on his face.

Photographer Ale was ready, and at the urging of his teammates, Tang Ye began to make a wish.

"call!"

"Wowhoo!"

The players watching shouted loudly, and Rashford turned on the lights in the cafeteria.

"So, tell us Tom, what did you wish for?"

"nonono!"

Alai and Rodri came over, and Tang Ye stepped back little by little: "I won't say it, I can't say it"

"Well, then, just tell us, club or national team?"

"No, you can't tell me that either!"

When I was a child, I heard from my friends that birthday wishes should never be spoken out loud.

Even if your best friend asks you, you can’t do that!

Valencia stood beside the cake, waiting for Tang Ye to come over and handed the knife to him. Tang Ye stared at the cake in a daze, then suddenly looked up at Ten Hahe.

"Mr. Eric, um... if we eat this big cake, will we be unable to run in tomorrow's competition?"

Ten Hag pointed to the players and club staff around him: "We have so many people, what are you worried about?"

“That’s true.”

Tang Ye nodded slightly, cut the first slice of the cake, and placed it carefully on the plate.

Looking at the cake on the plate, Tang Ye noticed from the corner of his eye that Ten Hah was looking at him.

"Mr. Eric, do you want me to give you this cake?"

Ten Hag turned his head away: "No, I can cut it myself if I want to eat it"

"You don't want it? Then I'll eat it myself."

Tang Ye opened his mouth and pretended to eat the cake on the plate in one bite, but actually handed it to Ten Hach in front of him: "Mr. Eric, you eat first."

Ten Hahe took the cake and looked Tang Ye up and down: "Are you sure?"

"Of course!"

"Come on, Yang, and Mata, I'll cut it for you!"

In the past, Tang Ye was always the first guy to eat the cake on birthdays, but this time he decided not to do that.

He will personally cut a piece of cake for each of his teammates and staff.

As for myself...

Then put it at the end.

"Here, Rhodes, this is for you. This is the biggest one. I promise you, I will give you the biggest one. I can't bear to eat this one myself."

……

I got home half an hour late today, but Tang Ye was very happy.

This is because what kept him at the base was not extra practice, but something as wonderful as celebrating his birthday with his teammates.

"Rod, I'm already 19 years old..."

Tang Ye whispered. Rodri, who was steering the wheel, turned his head and glanced at Tang Ye: "Already 19 years old? You give me the feeling that you are 91 years old."

"Haha, Rod, I just want to say that time flies."

Looking back now, Tang Ye feels like his transfer to Manchester United happened just yesterday.

Tang Ye didn't know why he thought so, maybe because that's what the writers in the Chinese textbooks said.

But if you think about it carefully, what those writers said makes sense.

Time really flies. Before this, Tang Ye was still thinking about winning a championship trophy at Manchester United.

And now he has won the championship!
[You spent your 40th birthday at the Premier League Manchester United club. It is hard to imagine that this is something you can do at the age of 40. You are simply not a human being.]

coming!

GGBond’s birthday gift!
Simply not human.

In the eyes of the system, Tang Ye is already a very powerful guy.

Such a great guy should get a great reward!
[40th birthday is a threshold. After 40, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to play in the Premier League. The balance mechanism is triggered]

[You got the ultimate mission]

[Ultimate Mission: Get the championship trophy in this season. The number of trophies determines the level of the reward. Current progress: 1]

[Quest Reward: Improved Weakness Talent (Once in a Lifetime/Attracting Everyone’s Attention/Stunning)]

[You can now receive the Weakness Talent Improvement (Once-in-a-Lifetime): upgrade any of your Weakness Talents to the "Once-in-a-Lifetime" level]

It's a talent improvement!

This reward is definitely very friendly to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye's poor physical talent has greatly affected his performance in the Premier League. If he can take advantage of this ultimate mission to improve his physical talent, then Tang Ye's performance in the Premier League and the Champions League will definitely be improved qualitatively!
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Judging from the name, it should be a one-in-a-thousandth talent. I just don’t know what the reference for this one-in-a-thousandth is.

Professional players worldwide?
If that's the case, it would be extremely exaggerated!
After all, Tang Ye's physical talent can only be described as mediocre, and one in a thousand can already be called a genius.

Of course, he is not a particularly great genius.

Ok……

He is a little genius!

Looking at the introduction of the system, "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" is already very impressive. It is hard to imagine how exaggerated "the focus of everyone's attention" and "unparalleled" are.

Tang Ye had always wanted to win more championship trophies, and when the ultimate mission came out, this idea became even stronger.

……

On the match day, Manchester United players' bus stopped at the side door of the stadium.

Today is a rare sunny day, but it’s a pity that the game is held at night.

Ding Dong!

The cell phone suddenly rang, and Tang Ye, who was walking on the road, took out his phone and took a look.

His mother sent him a message via WeChat, saying that although the weather was good in the afternoon, it would be windy in the evening, so it would be better to wear a long-sleeved jersey.

It just so happened that Tang Ye's original idea was to wear long sleeves.

He and his mother thought the same thing!
"China Central Radio and Television! This is a live broadcast for you..."

"The game has begun. Now let me introduce the starting lineups for both teams!"

The CCTV commentator quickly introduced the starting players of both teams, and then started talking about Manchester United.

"Manchester United just beat Arsenal to win the League Cup at the end of February. They must be in very good form recently."

"This will be a big challenge for Crystal Palace. If the home team wants to win this game, they must seize the opportunity to attack from the wing!"

Not long after the game started, the Premier League officially issued an announcement.

In the voting for the league's best player in February, Manchester United midfielder Tang Ye defeated the other four candidates and was successfully elected the best player of February.

"He will receive a trophy from the FA after the game"

Although Manchester United lost to Chelsea in the league in February, this did not affect Tang Ye's winning of the best player award.

This is because Tang Ye’s performance in the two games against Tottenham and Newcastle was so outstanding!

In addition to Tang Ye's best player, Ten Hag also won the Premier League's best coach in February.

2 best players of the month and a League Cup title, Manchester United’s performance last month can be said to be very good!

The game entered the 17th minute of the first half!

In Crystal Palace's attack, the full-back Wan Bissaka dribbled the ball forward and then made a cross.

Wan-Bissaka's cross was very crooked, but it had the desired effect.

Rodri didn't expect Wan Bissaka's cross to be kicked towards his feet, and the ball slipped past him without him noticing.

The ball came to the feet of the Crystal Palace players!
Snapped!
The high ball is passed to Benteke in the penalty area!

"I rely on!"

Tang Ye now has a very bad feeling.

Benteke's header in the penalty area!

Top it off to Thurlot!
“GOOOO—AAAAA—LLLLLL!!!!”

"The ball is in!"

"Beautiful! Thurlot!"

“Although they were the underdogs, Crystal Palace took the lead in scoring against Manchester United!”

The score was 1:0 and the Crystal Palace players were celebrating.

“Nice! (Wonderful)”

Coach Hodgson raised his fist with one hand and looked at Ten Hag again with a provocative look in his eyes.

Although it is second in the league.

But Manchester United doesn’t seem as strong as imagined!
