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

Chapter 445 Totti's powerful shot template, one of the most controversial title-winning seasons in recent years

[One Goat is commenting on another Goat! Hahahaha]

Holy crap, an epic collaboration!

[My little emperor is so prestigious, he actually got mentioned by GGBond?]

[No... I feel like this is a dig.]

[Others might be impersonating others, but the person who said this is Tang Ye, so you need to think about it carefully.]

The crossover collaboration between two fake Goat products generated a lot of buzz in the news.

Pepsi is having the best time right now, as a news story has prompted fans from both sides to dig up their World Cup promotional ads.

Goat brothers Tang Ye and James's Coca-Cola crossover ad!
……

"Tom, do you really think LeBron is the GOAT?"

On the train back, Rodri and Rashford surrounded Tang Ye.

Although Manchester United is a football team, most of its players have some knowledge of basketball.

"I don't understand this either..."

Tang Ye shook his head: "They asked me who I think is the best, and I said LeBron is the best, but I don't necessarily think that's right."

"Ha ha"

Rodri covered his head with both hands.

He can probably figure out Tang Ye's train of thought now.

Professional athletes often tell reporters that their teammates are better than others because they view their teammates through a lens of friendship.

In the cases of Tang Ye and Teng Hahe, this principle needs to be viewed on a larger scale.

In any case, your friends, or people you know, are definitely more capable than strangers.

You can test it if you don't believe me.

Rashford stroked his newly grown beard: "Tom, who do you think is the world's best defensive midfielder?"

"This one……"

With his eyes narrowed, Tang Ye fell into thought.

"It should be Rhodes."

"And what about the world's best goalkeeper?"

"...I feel that David (De Gea) is better than other goalkeepers, but I don't know much about the other goalkeepers either."

"..."

Well!
Rashford nodded slightly and smiled.

Well, the case was solved.

"No, wait, please stop asking me these questions."

Tang Ye put his hands in front of his body: "I'm not a commentator, you can't give me accurate information. You'll have to ask the commentators at Sky Sports. I really don't know anything about this."

Rashford gave Tang Ye a thumbs up: "Instead of listening to the commentators and fans, I think Tom, your opinion is right."

"Haha, the world's best defensive midfielder!" Rashford laughed at Rodri.

"Hey, don't joke around with me."

Rodri looked somewhat innocent and turned to Tang Ye sitting next to him: "Then Tom, tell me, who is the world's best winger?"

"This one……"

Tang Ye began to think.

"Isn't it the great Marcus Rashford?"

"Damn it, Rhodes, how did you know what I was going to say?!"

Rhodes crossed his legs, and in Tang Ye's eyes, his little brother Rhodes seemed to be in control of everything.

"Because I've mastered the formula."

Rodri was speaking in a language that Tang Ye couldn't understand.

……

Today's headline: At 3:10 AM on October 24th, Manchester United will host Bayern Munich in the third round of the Champions League group stage. Who will win the group in this clash of giants?

NBA commentator Smith: LeBron James is using public opinion to gain GOAT status.

"We have good reason to suspect that LeBron deceived Tom, because Tom stated in an interview that he genuinely doesn't understand basketball. Guys, looking at it that way, LeBron's intention is quite clear: he wants people who don't understand basketball to sing his praises as the GOAT."

"Because he knows that people who understand basketball wouldn't do that," Smith said.

There are many related news reports, and some reporters even believe that Tang Ye was drugged by the despicable LeBron James during training at Lakers' Home, which is why he said such things.

This is of course a misunderstanding of Tang Ye; everything GGBond said came from the bottom of his heart.

Tang Ye's least favorite subject was history.

Because he didn't know any of the people in the book.

……

[Task Progress: Points (6/5)]

[Reward: World Cup Champion Chest]

Two consecutive wins have exceeded expectations, which just goes to show that Tang Ye has been working too hard lately.

Following his familiar routine, Tang Ye went to the restroom, washed his face, and then carefully dried his hands with a towel.

Sit down in your chair!

Ok……

Feeling it still wasn't dignified enough, Tang Ye popped another piece of chewing gum into his mouth.

That should be enough!

You have obtained the World Cup Champion's Chest.

Opening the treasure chest didn't directly grant him the template; instead, a golden roulette wheel appeared in front of Tang Ye.

A pure gold trophy stood at the very top of the spinning wheel.

Tang Ye knew what it was, of course, because he had seen his good friends Killian and Osman holding this thing on TV.

This is the World Cup trophy!

As the turntable moved, Tang Ye began to tense up.

[2014 German Champion Template]

[1998 Uruguay Champion Template]

[2010 Spanish Champion Template]

The turntable is huge, and each section is like a slice of creamy pizza.

……

The pointer is currently on the [2006 Italian Champion Template].

Ok……

Tang Ye began to think about which players Italy had in 2006. Unfortunately, he was only 7 years old that year, and he had never actually watched that World Cup.

Look what this is!
You have obtained the Totti Power Shot template (Champion).

[Shots on goal: 78 → 80]

[Set piece: 79→80]

[Physical confrontation: 85→85]

It's a shooting template!

Tang Ye's eyes lit up; his luck was as good as ever!
A quick look at the system introduction reveals that the champion template differs from the original "advanced," "superstar," and "legendary" templates.

The champion's template has nothing to do with his market value; the strength of the template is directly equivalent to the peak ability that the player displayed during that World Cup.

Tang Ye (40 years old)
[Ball possession: 88; Passing: 91]

[Shots: 80; Headers: 60; Set pieces: 80]

Speed: 78; Endurance: 76; Physical Strength: 85

[Defense: 74; Vision: 97]

Overall rating: 86
The shooting score increased by 2 points, from 78 to 80.

Because it was a long-range shot, Tang Ye's set-piece ability also increased by 1 point, from 79 to 80.

"Well……"

Sitting in the chair, Tang Ye could clearly feel his heart beating faster and faster.

One template can directly generate two additional attributes with a value of 80.

The World Cup champion is truly impressive!

Without hesitation, Tang Ye opened the game and moved Totti into his starting lineup, preparing to have a chance to adapt to his new template.

Just as Tang Ye was making his move, James sent him a text message on his phone.

Seemingly influenced by the Goat incident, James now directly refers to Tang Ye as "brother".

"Ha ha"

LeBron was being too polite; it was just a matter of saying a few words.

If LeBron likes it, he can just call Tang Ye "Goat" whenever he sees him in the future.

After ending his chat with James, Tang Ye downloaded the Bayern Munich tactical analysis posted by Van der Gaël from the Manchester United players' group chat. Of course, downloading was one thing, but watching it was another. Tang Ye checked his alarm clock and then pulled the covers over himself.

Tang Ye lay very upright, staring at the dark ceiling in the dark room.

Cristiano.

When will I be able to dream of you again?

I haven't even retaliated yet...

……

Pinned post: Romance of the Three Kingdoms? After the 9th round, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United all have 23 points.

Attached is the Premier League standings (as of Round 9):

1. Manchester City, 23 points.

2. Liverpool, 23 points.

3. Manchester United, 23 points.

4. Chelsea, 18 points.

5. Tottenham Hotspur, 15 points

With 23 points from three teams, Manchester City temporarily secured the top spot in the league thanks to their superior goal difference. This is the current state of the Premier League standings after the 9th round.

If the initial winning streak couldn't prove Liverpool's incredible form this season, then the current situation speaks for itself.

Compared to the one-on-one battle between the two Manchester clubs last season, Liverpool's rise this season has brought new excitement to the Premier League.

The rivalry between the two countries has turned into a Three Kingdoms period, with only one team able to lift the championship trophy after 38 rounds of competition.

This situation has made the Manchester United coaching staff realize something.

If they want to win the Premier League title, they will need to sacrifice something!

"Actually, I think we don't need to worry too much about the EFL Cup and FA Cup."

At the high-level meeting, Ten Hah shared his thoughts.

"Of course, I'm not saying we should give up on these two competitions altogether. What I mean is, if the schedule is packed later on, and the league matches clash with the EFL Cup or FA Cup, then we'll have to focus all our attention on the league."

"Because right now, no team in the world can win three titles in England at the same time. You know how great Liverpool and Manchester City are!"

"but……"

Ten Hag abruptly changed the subject, immediately piquing the interest of Manchester United's management in the conference room.

"But what?"

"If we can get Dembele, then I think we have the ability to do so."

"..."

Manchester United's management is now in a real bind.

After being lectured by Ten Hah, a sense of guilt welled up in my heart.

Strengthening the wingers during the winter transfer window is extremely difficult!

……

Mr. Dennis

Tang Ye greeted the new Brazilian coach and began his shooting practice.

"I watched your game footage. Although you don't have enough running speed, your shooting adjustments are quick enough, which is a great talent for long-range shooting."

In Dennis's view, Tang Ye's exceptional ability to receive and adjust the ball could produce terrifying results with a little practice.

"Imagine the goalkeeper is standing on the goal line, and the opposing midfielder receives a pass from his teammate and shoots the next second."

Dennis looked at the far goal as he spoke, his tone somewhat excited.

"Holy crap, am I that amazing?"

Listening to the description, Tang Ye could already imagine the scene Dennis was talking about.

"Not now, not now, I mean after training."

Realizing that Tang Ye had misunderstood him, Dennis quickly explained, "Of course not now."

There was no other way, so Tang Ye urged Dennis to start today's training session quickly.

"Okay, Tom, stand still. As I mentioned earlier, I watched your game footage. Hmm... I did a little analysis, and the best training model for you should be Francisco. His shooting techniques should be the most suitable for you."

Tang Ye didn't know who Francisco was, but he wasn't going to find out.

The point is not the name Francisco.

The key point is that after training, he will become a master of long-range shooting!

"So now I'm going to learn from you, um, Francisco."

"Yes, but it's unrealistic to expect him to have the same long-range shooting ability. You know, Francisco's shots are like cannonballs."

Wearing sneakers, Dennis gave Tang Ye a demonstration: "But it's okay, Tom, you can completely trust me, with your talent..."

Holding up two fingers, Dennis presented his pre-prepared plan: "Two months. Within two months you'll achieve 60%-70% of the results, and that'll be about right."

"okok!"

Tang Ye took a sip of water and tossed the bottle to the side of the field, ready to go.

boom!
boom!
The purpose of the US training camp was to improve his competitiveness. Tang Ye didn't expect that the training in Los Angeles would come in handy at this time.

The sound of the powerful shot was very pleasant to hear, and the ball speed was ridiculously fast.

Tang Ye now needs to practice shooting angles that are good enough.

In the adjacent training field number one, Ten Hach and Van der Gach were squatting together, looking like two thieves.

"Do you think his long-range shooting really needs special training?"

Ten Hag blinked: "You always say I view Tom through a filter, but look at it yourself, isn't his shooting angle perfect enough?"

Van der Gach said that Ten Hag's view of the players was not objective, a view that Ten Hag has always strongly disagreed with.

"This……"

Van der Gach looked at Tang Ye, who was talking to the coach in the distance, and said, "I didn't think he was that strong before... Hey, Eric, has FIFA released any games that involve long-range shooting lately?"

"Yeah, if there were long-range shooting games, then it would make sense for Tom to get stronger. He seems to be good at everything he plays."

Having witnessed it a few times, Van der Gahr is now completely captivated by the magical power of Tang Ye's game to transform reality.

"..."

Ten Hach thought Van der Gach was joking and didn't continue the conversation.

"But it doesn't really matter. He doesn't shoot from long range much, so it's a good thing to find a coach to help him improve. Anyway, it's the club's money being spent."

"By the way, Michel, who is this Francisco he mentioned?"

Ten Hag glanced at Van der Gaël beside him, who quickly turned his head: "Totti, Francesco Totti, from the 2006 Italian champions."

……

"Tom, tell me, why did Eric hire a shooting coach for you?"

During a break in training, Tang Ye sat down with his new coach, Mr. Dennis.

"Maybe it's because I'm not very good at it?"

Tang Ye offered his own guess.

His shooting attribute only reached 80 yesterday, and compared to his passing and ball control, his shooting ability is indeed somewhat lacking.

Tang Ye knew he wouldn't have been able to score so many goals if it weren't for the penalty kicks!

"Wow"

Dennis pouted and nodded slightly.

"Tom, how long do you think they'll let you train?"

Tang Ye found Dennis's question somewhat baffling.

Turn your head.

For some reason, Mr. Dennis seemed somewhat flustered.

"I don't know either, it's probably from constant practice. I think shooting is quite important."

That's very good.

Dennis looked at the goal directly in front of him, raised his hands and stretched.

He then lay down on the grass.

"Hey, Mr. Dennis, our training isn't over yet."

Tang Ye tried to pull Dennis up from the grass.

"It's alright, it's alright. Take a rest for a bit, Tom. You've already done a great job."

"..."

"Mr. Dennis, don't give up, Mr. Dennis! I still need to practice my shooting!"

Tang Ye's favorite thing is scoring goals.

If his talent allowed, he would certainly like to develop excellent long-range shooting skills.

"Mr. Dennis, are you still there? Open your eyes! Stop slacking off! You still haven't told me how to take Francisco's long-range shots!"
