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

Chapter 424 The Whole Yellow Play (Including Flashbacks)
Shandong, 2009.

"Look at me, look at me! Watch carefully!"

Tang Ye and his teammates emphasized this, and then he kicked the ball up from the ground.

Wow! Tang Ye is awesome!

Liu Changqi and Commander He clapped quickly.

Tang Ye is currently the only player on the U13 Red Team who can perform this ball-crossing motion, so he is happy now.

Standing still watching his teammates make the same attempt, Tang Ye suddenly spotted something: "Holy crap, the coach's here! The coach's here!"

As soon as Tang Ye finished speaking, 18 young players ran around on the training field and quickly arrived at their respective positions.

As the youngest player on the U13 Red Team, Tang Ye plays a very important role in the team.

He was the team's scout because he could always spot the coach approaching from afar in the first instance.

Upon arriving at the training ground, Li Weibin was delighted to find the players training diligently. He said, "Keep it up! Stay focused and don't let the Yellow Team overtake you. The Red Team only has 15 spots. If you don't perform well, you'll be relegated to the Yellow Team!"

Li Weibin walked slowly on the grass, observing the players training on the field.

"Is Tang Ye still alive?"

The assistant coach next to him suddenly spoke up.

"What else can we do? Let the Yellow Team go?"

Li Weibin shrugged: "I know it's a bit too much to push a 10-year-old to play in the U13 team, but you can't just send a player with that kind of talent to the yellow team, can you?"

"No, what I mean is... the U15 team wants him."

"..."

Li Weibin's lips twitched: "Let's see how it goes. This guy's passing ability is a bit too exaggerated, but he has many weaknesses, he has no physical strength at all."

"His teammates and opponents are all two years older than him, so he has no way to compete..."

"Geniuses have their own ways of being nurtured."

Li Weibin has his own opinion.

The training ended quickly, and Tang Ye and Wang Ruiqi walked together towards the cafeteria.

The results are out!

Wang Ruiqi suddenly shouted, and Tang Ye quickly followed.

[Honor and Recognition]

[National U15 Winners' Cup Champion (Luneng Football School U15 Red Team)]

[Players recognized: Tang Shi, Wei Shihao, Liu Yang...]

"It's amazing..."

Tang Ye's mouth dropped open: "National champion! My dad would be so happy if I won this award!"

“Of course, your parents will be happy if you win the championship,” Wang Ruiqi said.

"It's different, it's different!"

Tang Ye corrected him, "My dad says I play soccer just so I don't have to sit in the classroom. Actually, I quite like soccer, but he just doesn't believe me. If I win a national championship, he'll probably believe me. Hmm... a Guangdong championship would be good too, I could win a Guangdong championship."

Wang Ruiqi nodded quickly: "Then let's cheer each other on!"

"come on!"

Tang Ye swung his fist.

"By the way, Tang Ye, are you going to the cafeteria for dinner?"

"Of course, we can't skip meals."

Tang Ye, holding his sneakers, asked in return.

"No, today is a day for parents to visit their children. Usually, my parents will take me out for dinner. My dad called me at noon and asked me to take him out for KFC!"

"……oh oh"

Remembering that today was a special day, Tang Ye nodded slightly.

With his heart racing, Tang Ye followed Wang Ruiqi toward the main gate.

Unsurprisingly, many parents from all over the country were standing outside the gate.

Not only U11 and U13 players, but also U18 and 19 players will have their parents come to visit them.

After all, no matter how old the players are, in their parents' eyes they are still just children.

Just like I said before, Wang Ruiqi's father took him out to eat KFC.

She turned around to look for Tang Ye, but he had already hidden himself.

There was an artificial hill in the distance from the gate. Tang Ye climbed to the top and sat there, supporting himself with his hands behind him.

This is a great spot; Tang Ye can see all the parents walking from outside the gate and even further away.

"Um……"

It's 5pm now.

5: p.m.

It's 6 o'clock.

It wasn't until 7:30 p.m., when it was completely dark, that Tang Ye tilted his head, blinked rapidly, and then jumped down from the artificial hill.

The parents took everyone away, so Tang Ye couldn't go back to the dormitory at this time because there was nothing there.

Walking around near the gate, Tang Ye quickly spotted a guy wearing a Shandong Luneng training uniform.

The person was about 10 centimeters taller than him, but Tang Ye still went up.

"Hello, are you from U13? I saw your clothes."

"I'm from the Yellow Team"

Upon seeing Tang Ye's red team uniform, Luo Kang exclaimed in awe, "You're a genius! You're at most 11 years old!"

Haha, thank you.

Tang Ye scratched his head: "Um, I'll treat you to KFC, shall we eat together? Let's go to that rockery, the lights are on there."

"Really, it's free?"

Luo Kang's eyes lit up, then he lowered his head again: "But...we can't go out without our parents, right?"

As soon as Luo Kang finished speaking, Tang Ye took out a cell phone from his pocket: "I had my friends write down their phone numbers when they went out earlier, so I can bring it in."

Because they paid extra, the delivery was quick, and 20 minutes later Tang Ye and Luo Kang were sitting under the artificial hill.

"Okay, the spicy chicken burger is mine, but you can have the rest."

Tang Ye was so generous that Luo Kang could hardly believe his eyes.

At Luneng Football School, fried chicken and hamburgers are very precious items, and Tang Ye would send a whole bag of them!

"Wow, why aren't you eating with your teammates?"

Luo Kang squeezed ketchup onto the fries and asked.

They're not here tonight.

"There are always some people who don't go out, and parents don't come every time. My parents only come once every two months. You can hang out with those who haven't gone out. Yeah, they're probably all hiding in their dorms playing CrossFire right now. The upperclassmen's dorms have computers; their parents bought them. The teachers and coaches don't catch them because they're the upperclassmen."

"Tang Ye, do you play games?"

Luo Kang turned to look at Tang Ye, who nodded: "Yes, I can. I'm good at hide-and-seek, and I'm very good at finding people. I win almost every time."

Tang Ye was very proud, but he clearly misunderstood what kind of game Luo Kang was talking about.

"Haha, no wonder you don't know many people. You have to play CF! Lots of older students play that game. The kind where you shoot guns, bang bang bang!"

Luo Kang held a French fry in one hand and made a shooting gesture with the other.

"CF?"

Tang Ye frowned: "I think I've heard of this before."

Swish!

Tang Ye rubbed his hands together, and suddenly an idea came to him.

To shoot.

He looks kind of handsome!

……

The Guardian – Tom was photographed by fans arriving at Carrington training ground by car, confirming his return to the team.

The Sun's report on airport staff did not include photos, but The Guardian's report was more favorable.

A Guardian reporter published a photo in the newspaper showing Tang Ye sitting in the back seat of a black car with earphones in his ears, looking to be in a good mood.

However, due to the obstruction of the car window, fans could not clearly see the change in Tang Ye's skin color.

It is certain that the airport staff's statement that "Tom's body has become wider" is true.

[They're really training in the US! This is my GGBond!]

【ah? ? ? 】

[The match is tomorrow, and I only got back today. Will I be able to play?]

[Is Manchester United just letting Tang Ye play his first game of the new season? He didn't even play in a preseason friendly.] [Wait, do they really need Tang Ye to play against Leicester City?]

[Does it feel like Tang Ye has gained power? Does that mean he doesn't need to worry about confrontations anymore?]

Fans zoomed in on the photos, carefully observing the changes in Tang Ye, trying to figure out what Tang Ye had been doing in the United States.

Why did Tang Ye choose to train in the United States?

Will Tang Ye's skills change significantly after training in the United States?

These are all questions that fans want to understand.

But the fans' questions certainly won't be answered until the official match arrives.

……

"Wow, Tom!"

On the training field, Tang Ye, dressed in casual clothes, high-fived his teammates one by one.

Tang Ye kept in touch with his teammates and coaches while training in Los Angeles, but his teammates were still surprised by his transformation.

"Only 20 days?"

Mata gripped Tang Ye's shoulder: "These muscles don't look like they could be built in 20 days. Fuck, I feel like you could play center forward already."

"Wow, really?!"

Tang Ye rubbed his arm, then pulled down his sleeve, wanting to show his newly developed muscles to his teammate: "I'm 72kg now, almost 73kg. I feel like I'm practically invincible now."

"Hahaha!"

Tang Ye's words caused Valencia and Lingard to burst into laughter.

"What do you mean by invincible?"

Alai pressed on.

"It's just confrontation."

As he spoke, Tang Ye bumped into Alai: "No, I still can't beat Sebastian, but the others are different. They're no match for me."

Tang Ye then gave Rashford another blow.

"Oh!"

Rashford cried out and collapsed to the ground.

Of course, he was acting.

"Hey, there's no need, that's too fake, Marcus. They won't believe you if you do that!"

"I believe it, I believe it, anyway, I believe it, haha!"

Rodri was still smiling, while Tang Ye shook his head helplessly. Soon, he saw Manchester United's new signings in the summer transfer window.

Tang Ye was somewhat disappointed to hear the bad news from Ten Hag that Dembele would not be able to join, but having a new teammate was certainly a good thing.

Tang Ye knows Ziyech, De Jong, and Greenwood, who was promoted from the youth team. He is particularly familiar with De Jong and Greenwood.

After that……

Dear Mr. Eric!

Ten Hah walked over to Tang Ye, and the two hugged tightly.

"We're back too late!"

Ten Hag feigned anger: "In that case, you won't be able to play tomorrow."

"Haha, I've looked at the schedule. I'll adjust my time and go straight to sleep when you guys play tomorrow."

Tang Ye shrugged at Rodri: "So don't expect me to watch your game, haha, I won't."

"Some people come back from the Lakers, but their hearts are still with the Lakers!"

Ashley Young shouted.

"Unfortunately, the NBA season hasn't started yet, so you won't be able to watch any games."

"You've misunderstood me, Yang. I don't watch basketball games; I'm just training there!"

Tang Ye offered a brief explanation, then greeted his teammates before heading towards the office building, where he had some documents to sign for the new season.

Good luck tomorrow!

Tang Ye raised both hands.

……

Dongqiudi Match Report: Valencia's long-range shot and Bailly's own goal lead to a 1-1 draw between Manchester United and Leicester City at home. De Jong delivers an excellent performance in his Manchester United debut, while Tang Ye is not included in the squad. (13852 comments)

The match itself is a point of interest, and the post-match interviews are an additional point of interest.

Click, click, click!

The reporter interviewed Teng Hahe, asking about what Tang Ye had experienced in the past few days.

"Don is 100% free from mental illness. As the head coach, I can vouch for this. Don't suffer from any mental illness."

"I watched that Sky Sports program, and it made a lot of sense, but unfortunately, academic speculation isn't always correct."

Ten Hach slowly explained the fact that Tang Ye had been training in the United States.

"Is Tom not coming to the stadium today? The fans really want to see him."

"Oh, he's adjusting to the time difference right now. You asked earlier about his absence from the warm-up matches; I don't think it will affect him much."

"I can almost guarantee that Tang will be on our roster for the next game, and then the fans will be able to see him."

Click!

Click, click, click!

Having captured crucial information, the reporter began snapping photos of Ten Hah.

It turns out that Tang Ye did indeed spend the past 20 days training in the United States, which is inconsistent with the personality that fans have in mind.

But the important thing now is not why Tang Ye did this.

The important thing is what Tang Ye gained after doing this.

Fans now only hope that NBA training won't affect Tang Ye's excellent passing skills.

Manchester United fans would be devastated if that happened!

……

"Sir, would you like me to thin the edges a bit more? Is that alright?"

The barber pressed his index finger against Tang Ye's hair, observing and analyzing it as he went.

"Um……"

Tang Ye pondered all the hairstyles he had seen, trying to find the one that suited him best: "Could it be a little more voluminous? I see other people's hair is much more voluminous than mine. Mine is too flat, and when it grows long, it will cover my eyes. I don't like the feeling of having my eyes covered."

"Sir, the fluffiness you mentioned must be from a perm. Would you like it permed? A perm would make it even fluffier."

"hiss……"

The barber's words made Tang Ye think.

I've never tried perming my hair before.

Why don't you think it's worth a try?

"Let's get one then!"

"Okay, let me show you some design examples. You can choose one."

The barber went to get the notebook, and Tang Ye looked at himself in the mirror, his mind racing.

Thinking of Hao Ge Wei Shihao's handsome blond hair, Tang Ye had an idea.

"Um, wait a minute."

"Bro, do you think my hair would suit dyeing?"

"Of course, what color do you want?"

"How about red? That's the color of the Manchester sky."

The barber joked.

Haha, thank you.

Tang Ye shook his head: "Red is too exaggerated, and it's too eye-catching to wear it on top of your head."

Tang Ye already has a strong presence on the field. If he were to get red hair, the opposing team would probably have all 11 players chasing after him to tackle him.

This is not a good thing!

"Um……"

"Play with the whole yellow thing."

Tang Ye wore an expectant smile.

……

PS: There will be two more updates today, before 11 PM.
