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

Chapter 436 Tom, the biggest enemy of the 21st Century Bank, was assassinated?
Top post on Dongqiudi: Manchester United vs. Wolves is in progress, the current score is 1-1, Donnie and Neves both score world-class goals.

I don't know why, but I feel like Manchester United has been scoring more spectacular goals in their matches this season.

Whose problem is this?

The camera focuses on Tang Ye, who has just finished celebrating on the field.

Don't ask GGBond.

Because GGBond won't know.

"Well done!"

Alai is very excited now.

With the score tied at 1-1, there's finally hope of winning.

"It's not over yet, it's not over yet!"

Tang Ye emphasized this point.

He wanted to beat Wolves, not just draw.

3 points is greater than 1 point. This is a principle that even elementary school students know, let alone a good student like GGBond.

"Tang Ye!"

Several fans at the very bottom of the stands shouted Tang Ye's name.

Tang Ye raised an eyebrow and gave a thumbs up.

The fans immediately started screaming.

"What did you say?"

Alai was puzzled.

"Um... I didn't say anything."

Tang Ye scratched his head, and at that moment, Rodri gave his analysis.

"They probably think the thumbs-up symbolizes turning the tide of the game."

Turning the score around is certainly a good thing.

The bad thing is that Tang Ye was misinterpreted by the fans.

The pressure is building!
The second half has entered its 65th minute!

At this point, Manchester United's possession had begun to decline, but the game still favored Manchester United.

Moving to the left, Tang Ye played a through ball to Ziyech, who passed the ball back and continued his run.

Ziyech wanted to continue playing with Tang Ye, but Tang Ye didn't. Instead, he passed the ball to Lingard at the far post.

"Lingard!"

"Hey, that ball went way off target."

Lingard's shot was off target!
Whoosh whoosh!

Standing there, panting heavily, Tang Ye felt a palpable sense of fatigue.

It's not just him; most of the players on the field are in this state right now, and this is something that football players have to go through in the second half of the game.

boom!
Patricio launched a long ball from inside the penalty area, sending it directly forward, and the field suddenly descended into chaos.

After Otto received the ball, he chipped it into the penalty area.

Costa heads the ball to Jimenez!
"Oh!!"

boom!
Jimenez delivered a powerful header, but the problem was that he was too far from the goal when he shot.

With such a long reaction time, De Gea is unlikely to give him a chance.

Hold onto the ball!

"Ahead! Ahead!"

De Gea spotted Tang Ye making a forward run, threw the ball down, and then launched a long volley.

The message was quite good.

Eh!
Tang Ye turned around, staggered backward, and stopped the ball with his chest before turning around again.

The adjustment to this ball was quite difficult, and Tang Ye added another challenge for himself.

Because he wanted to get the ball in a very short time!

boom!
The long pass went directly to Lingard in the attacking third.

Lingard controlled the ball with his thigh!
Add another volley!
boom!
The ball went in!
"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye stopped in his tracks and raised his hands in celebration.

As expected, Manchester United is still the stronger side!
"United! Man United!"

The Manchester United players gathered together, and Tang Ye reached out and quickly ruffled Lingard's hair.

Of course, that's not enough!
Tang Ye grabbed Lin Jiade's head and shouted loudly.

"Jesse!!!"

"Oh shit!"

Lingard took a step back: "Haha"

"..."

Despite trailing in the first half, Manchester United players quickly adjusted their tactics and came back to take the lead in the second half.

"Currently, Manchester United's advantage is growing, and if Wolves can't reduce their mistakes, they may have a difficult time in the remaining time..."

Dongqiudi Match Report: Tang Ye's direct free-kick goal secured a 2-1 comeback victory for Manchester United against Wolves, maintaining their perfect record in all competitions in September. (23752 comments)

All I want to do now is sing the praises of Tang Qiuwang's greatness.

I feel that Rashford's suspension will still have an impact on Manchester United.

It doesn't matter, we'll win whether Rashford is there or not.

Click, click, click!

In the mixed zone, Tang Ye received the Man of the Match award and then gave an interview to local English journalists.

The reporter asked Tang Ye to briefly describe his thoughts and feelings during the match.

Um... this question is still a bit difficult for Tang Ye.

"We wanted to gain the upper hand as quickly as possible, so we played very aggressively at the beginning, but it was a bit of a pity that Neves scored a super cool long-range shot."

"After that, we just needed to adjust our form. Once we got into a good state, we performed even better and ultimately won the game."

Tang Ye believes that winning this match is extremely important.

Not only because it advanced the progress of their own mission, but also because this victory continued the form of the Manchester United players.

Just as Mr. Eric said.

If Manchester United wants to compete with Manchester City and Liverpool this season, they cannot afford to make too many mistakes when facing mid-table and lower-table teams.

According to the Manchester United coaching staff's assessment, the Premier League champions are expected to have a total of 95 points this season!
"Tom, Manchester United have won every game since you returned to the team. Do you think you played a key role in that?"

"Ha ha"

The reporter's question made Tang Ye laugh.

"Maybe, I'm quite happy because I feel I helped the team in every game. We hope to continue winning because, well... we had some big regrets last season."

Tang Ye said.

With 92 points, but only second in the Premier League, the fragile spirits of Manchester United players and fans can be said to have been severely damaged.

……

Sky Sports commentator Dawson: Liverpool's home game against Manchester City on October 6th will be Manchester United's chance to break into the top two of the league table, provided they win both their matches against West Ham United and Newcastle United.

"Of course, considering Tom's current high level of enthusiasm, I think a six-game winning streak in the league shouldn't be too difficult for Manchester United."

Manchester United still has a lot of supporters. After achieving four consecutive wins, fans and reporters have started to offer suggestions for the team.

Liverpool and Manchester City are currently the top two teams in the Premier League standings, and they will play a match on October 6th.

There is no doubt that this match is Manchester United's chance to rise to the top!
Besides the league title race, fans are also focused on the winner of this season's Premier League Golden Boot.

It's worth mentioning that although he plays as a midfielder, Tang Ye is currently ranked 5th in the odds for the Premier League Golden Boot, which is quite alarming.

Then comes the assist king.

Generally speaking, the league's assist leader doesn't attract much attention, but the odds given by betway for the Premier League assist leader are so comical that they have been wildly shared by fans online.

Tang Yegao is ranked first in the odds list for assist king.

It's worth mentioning that his odds for being the assist leader are only 1.12, which means that if you spend 100 yuan to bet on Tang Ye to be the Premier League assist leader this season, you will only earn 12 yuan if you win.

But for those 12 coins, you have to wait an entire season.

Experts say the trend suggests Tom's odds of being the top assist provider will drop below 1.10 within 40 days. Despite the low odds, betting participants believe it's a sure-fire win.

The expert gave his opinion on a television program.

"A profit of over 10% in one season is more profitable than putting money in the bank. Because, based on data analysis, Tom's Premier League assist title is virtually guaranteed; this data even takes into account Tom's participation in the Asian Cup in January."

The British have discovered a completely new way to manage their finances. Putting money in the bank or using it to buy Tang Ye's best assets are both sure-fire ways to make money. So why put money in banks with such low interest rates?

The word spread quickly, and soon more and more people joined this investment battle, including many who never watched sports.

The experts' predictions were wrong.

Less than 48 hours after the TV program aired, Tang Ye's odds of being the top assist provider had already dropped to 1 to 1.08.

It's a pity the Chinese team has an Asian Cup match in January next year, otherwise these financial gurus might have bought even more.

……

And so, Tang Ye unknowingly appeared on the cover of The London Times.

On the cover, Tang Ye is wearing a Manchester United jersey and sitting on the grass of the stadium. Under the lighting, Tang Ye's face looks somewhat terrifying.

Caption: The biggest enemy of European banks in the 21st century?

"..."

In the Manchester United canteen, Tang Ye looked at the newspaper in his hand, his eyes slightly narrowed.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

Lingard and Mata were laughing very arrogantly!

"What the hell are they doing?!"

Tang Ye placed the newspaper on the table, his eyes wide with surprise.

"If I don't win the assist title, won't they go bankrupt?"

Rodri sat opposite Tang Ye, shrugging: "Obviously they think this is impossible. Your assist numbers last season were about the same as the second and third place combined, right?"

"..."

Tang Ye touched his hand: "That's bad, I'm under a lot of pressure right now."

Tang Ye never expected this to happen.

He just hopes his fans won't go bankrupt, otherwise he'll feel a lot of guilt!

"correct"

Tang Ye suddenly thought of something: "Should I buy some in the opposite direction? That way, if I really win the assist title, they can earn more."

"..."

The Manchester United players exchanged bewildered glances. Van der Gach walked over from the far end and said, "Tom, I think you want to get suspended."

Players are not allowed to participate in any form of sports betting.

It's okay if you bet on yourself to win; the penalty isn't severe.

Players like Tang Ye, who buy the opposite of what they want, probably won't be able to play football for several years.

"There's nothing we can do about it"

Tang Ye sighed.

……

Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports betting platform) reposted a report from The Sun: Tang Ye issued a statement on his personal social media, hoping that fans and non-fans alike would remain rational when making predictions. Tang Ye stated that he could not guarantee maintaining a high level of performance, but fans in the comments section did not believe him because Tang Ye was sponsored by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China during the World Cup, and fans believed that Tang Ye had received money from the bank.

[Damn, these foreigners are so good at creating TV shows!]

[Don't even mention it, guys, I think this is pretty awesome. Making 8% net profit in less than a year, what are banks even doing?]

[Tang Ye will behave himself when he's injured.]

[You're overthinking it. My GGBond will dodge danger on its own, otherwise why would foreigners be buying them so frantically?]

Things have gotten a bit out of hand, and now more and more fans are aware of Tang Ye's identity as "the enemy of the bank".

This is very uncomfortable.

Tang Ye wanted to tell the fans that he wasn't a bad person, but he didn't know how to say it.

"I'm just a football player, and they're treating me like this."

On the training field, Tang Ye stood with one foot on each side and started complaining to his teammates.

It ended quickly, and the coach gathered the players together.

明天曼联和德比郡有一场英联杯的比赛，比赛的时间是9月25日，和9月29日的英超第7轮之间隔了有4天。

Four days is enough time for the key players to rest, but Ten Hag's point is that West Ham United have played well in recent matches, so Manchester United need to be careful.

In the third round of the EFL Cup, Rashford is suspended, while Tang Ye, De Gea, and Rodri will all be rested.

This is the arrangement given by Ten Hag.

With four key players absent, Manchester United were essentially playing with a semi-reserve lineup.

"So, should I be included in the roster?"

"No need, Rodri is on the bench, Tom, you can just rest."

"Van der Gach said."

"This……"

Tang Ye took a deep breath.

He needs to rack up a winning streak; if he doesn't even get to play as a substitute, the victory in this match won't be his responsibility, and he won't be able to get the new treasure chest.

Tang Ye suggested he wanted to be a substitute, but Ten Hag refused, arguing that he wanted to give younger players more opportunities.

Okay, there's nothing I can do about it then.

"Then I'll watch the game at home."

Tang Ye whispered, "Although I'm not here, you should be able to feel my cheers because I'll be shouting quite loudly."

Good student Tang Ye has been working hard in training and competitions lately, so let's take a break for one game!

……

Dongqiudi Match Report: Manchester United defeated Derby County 1-0 to advance to the next round of the EFL Cup. Tang Ye was rested and not included in the squad. (8233 comments)

[Mission Progress: Winning Streak (3/4)]

"..."

As expected, since he didn't even make it to the bench, the system determined that Tang Ye had nothing to do with the victory in this match.

But it doesn't really matter. Manchester's schedule is ridiculously packed, so waiting for a match doesn't actually take that long.

After advancing in the EFL Cup, Manchester United still have one Premier League match left in September, against West Ham United.

If Tang Ye wins this match, he can get his World Cup semi-finalist player treasure chest.

Manchester United can also achieve the honor of winning all competitions in September!
Metro – Some experts believe there are other reasons why Tom did not play in the Derby County match; he may have been assassinated by bankers.

"Derby County isn't a strong team, so there's no need to field Tom, and the fans' opinion is reasonable. But the problem is that Manchester United's match against West Ham United is four days after the Derby County game, giving the players ample time to rest."

"That's where things get interesting. If Tom offends European bankers, he could be assassinated in his own home."

Traffic-generating news outlets are starting to ramp up their efforts!

[Really? I haven't seen Tom at the Carrington base for the past few days.]

Tom likes to sleep in the passenger seat, so it's normal that I didn't see him.

No! (crying) (crying) (crying)

[A real assassination? I knew capitalists were idiots; they killed the world's best midfielder for the sake of a bank.]

[The reporters and editors of this marketing newspaper should all go to jail!]

The Metro has a terrible reputation in England, and most football fans don't believe the news it publishes.

But there are just too many fans. For every person who doesn't believe it, there will always be someone who does. So much so that after the news broke, some Manchester United fans directly asked Tang Ye in the comments section of his Twitter account if he had died.

[Tom, are you still alive?]

"Actually, I just didn't play a single match."

Tang Ye helplessly spread his hands: "Why didn't they say I was buried in the ground during the off-season?"

"Not so many people were interested in buying your league assist title during the offseason."

While looking at his phone, Van der Gach said, "I have a feeling that the editor-in-chief of this Metro newspaper might want to buy it himself."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"Because after the news came out, your odds dropped; now it's 1 to 1.10."

Tang Ye's eyes widened.

He knew he was smart, but these things were just too complicated, so he decided to stop trying to understand them.

……

With two days to go before their Premier League match against West Ham United in the 7th round, Manchester United released a photo of the players training at their Carrington training ground.

Manchester United official statement: TangYe is alive and well.
