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

Chapter 505 Carrington's Longzhong Plan, Don Yetenhach's Three Kingdoms Strategy
"Holy crap!"

clap clap clap!
Tang Ye splashed water as his sneakers hit puddles, then quickly rushed to the base's office building with his bag on his back. Inside were Manchester United players preparing to start training.

"Wow, Tom!"

Ashley Young and the players surrounded him, and Tang Ye immediately sat down on the spot: "Damn it, you guys should have an underground passage installed at the training base, the kind that goes directly from the parking lot to the main building."

Tang Ye is right.

If Carrington base had underground tunnels, then GGBond wouldn't need to get wet in the rain.

"Fuck, Tom, you still care about this?"

Alai squeezed Tang Ye's shoulder hard: "You'll get wet during training anyway, so what's the difference?"

"All right"

Tang Ye found Alai's words to be very reasonable and immediately fell silent.

"Sure, Tom!"

Rodri crouched down and punched Tang Ye in the chest, splashing water off Tang Ye's clothes.

Rodri raised Tang Ye's hand, just like a boxing match announcer introducing the winner.

"Listen up, guys, sitting right in front of you is... the Asian Cup champion!"

"Tom, you actually won the championship!"

Rodri put his hand on Tang Ye's shoulder and shook his body rapidly.

While the Asian Cup title may not be as prestigious as the European Cup title, they are still competitions of the same level.

"Tom is amazing!"

Despite Tang Ye being covered in water, his Manchester United teammates rubbed his hair with their hands.

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye took off his down jacket and threw it aside, then opened his backpack in front of his teammates.

"Keep a close eye on Rhodes!"

He reached in and pulled out a pair of sneakers that were already soaked.

"……That's not it"

"Wait a minute, let me look."

Tang Ye took the sneakers out and placed them on the ground, then continued to reach into his backpack.

He threw out a handful of chewing gum.

Then he threw out a handful of chewing gum.

"No, it won't, right?"

A dozen or so Manchester United players gathered together.

They certainly knew what Tang Ye wanted to show.

But the question is, where is the stuff?

"Wait, wait!"

Tang Ye tossed his backpack aside, ran over to pick up his down jacket, and then pulled a gold object with a ribbon from the jacket pocket.

Grasp the ribbon with two fingers, and the medal will fall naturally.

2019 Asian Cup

【Champion】

"Phew, Jesus (My God)"

Alai took the medal and examined it closely in his hand.

Asian Cup champion medal.

This medal is second only to the World Cup title in importance among all national team competitions.

"let me see"

Rashford took the medal and squeezed it a few times.

"Don't break it!"

Mata snatched the medal and hung it around his neck: "Hmm... I think I can already picture it."

"This is Mata, number 8 of the Chinese national team, who is the champion of this year's Asian Cup in Qatar!"

"It's a match for the UAE."

Rodri shouted, "The final opponent is Qatar! You don't even know where the match is being held?"

Uncle Mata was a little sad.

Because he has already been identified by Rodri as a casual fan.

"I did watch it, but it was the semi-final match, China vs. Japan."

"That match was the most exciting."

Ashley Young chimed in, "I couldn't stand watching the group stage match against that Stankovic team at all, but I watched the whole Japan game, including the penalty shootout."

"But you didn't like my tweet, Yang!"

Tang Ye said.

He was still sitting on the ground, holding a phone that was wet with rain.

"Oh, my problem, my problem."

Ashley Young raised his hands.

"Alright, alright, let's start warming up!"

Ten Hach and Van der Gach came down in the elevator: "It's raining quite heavily today, let's warm up in the indoor area, be careful..."

Ten Hah saw Tang Ye sitting on the ground.

"Hello, Mr. Eric..."

Tang Ye raised his hand to greet him.

Ten Hach took a few steps forward: "You're too slow!"

"besides!"

Ten Hag pointed at Tang Ye's nose: "You only scored one goal in the Asian Cup final? Do you have any shame?"

"Hey, please, I gave it a 9.0 rating!"

Feeling somewhat wronged by the criticism, Tang Ye shrugged, but Ten Hag had already led the players to the indoor training ground.

……

The Guardian – TY is expected to play in Manchester United's away game against Fulham on February 9.

Manchester United beat reporter: Manchester United are expected to have Tom display his Asian Cup winning medal, MVP trophy, and top scorer award during their home game against Liverpool on February 24.

Looking out the window at the Manchester sky, the Manchester United fans in the pub couldn't help but sigh.

In January, Manchester experienced nothing but torrential rain, and the sun was nowhere to be seen even during the day.

Why is this so?
"Perhaps God is crying; he hasn't seen Tom perform for a whole month."

……

Weekly Football TV.

"With the conclusion of the Crystal Palace vs. Burnley match, all results for the 25th round of the Premier League have been achieved."

The battle for a top-four finish between Tottenham, Chelsea, and Arsenal is still fierce, with Chelsea and Arsenal currently in the lead.

"Of course, regardless of their performance in the second half of the league, the best ranking these three teams can achieve is only fourth place in the league, and everyone knows the specific reasons why."

The host raised an eyebrow at the camera, and another host began to speak.

"Yes, the battle for supremacy among Manchester City, Manchester United, and Liverpool has now entered a fierce stage. Thanks to the Asian Cup in January, both Manchester City and Liverpool completed comebacks against Manchester United."

Manchester City and Liverpool fans really have a lot to thank the AFC for.

The host jokingly remarked, "If the AFC were willing to open a donation channel, I believe many Liverpool fans would donate to it. Just like Tom slipped US dollars into the referee's pocket during the final."

Weekly Football TV is by no means a serious football radio station.

A host on an unserious radio station is, of course, unserious as well.

"But Jason, this doesn't seem to be our focus today?"

"Oh, yes."

The host then shifted the conversation, launching into a discussion about the current Premier League title race.

"Manchester City currently leads the table with 66 points, followed by Liverpool with 65 points and Manchester United with 64 points. While Manchester United currently has the fewest points among the top three, we must consider the impact of Tom's return on the situation."

The two hosts discussed in detail the upcoming schedules of the three teams.

Among the many matches in February, the host specifically highlighted the match between Manchester United and Liverpool in the 27th round.

The presenter and the audience agreed that this match was key to determining the outcome of the Premier League in February.

……

February 7th, two days before Manchester United's 26th Premier League match.

Fulham isn't a particularly strong opponent, but fans are still quite excited because this match could be Tang Ye's first game back at the club.

Does the return of the master mean that Manchester United has sounded the horn for their pursuit?

"We must have a suitable pursuit plan."

In the Carrington dressing room, Ten Hag was giving a speech to the players.

Rashford sat on a stool, and Tang Ye sat at his feet. "I know you might think I'm talking nonsense, but I have to say it, because your feeling is wrong. What I'm saying isn't all nonsense."

Ten Hag walked slowly through the middle: "This Premier League season has been chaotic, so chaotic that after 25 rounds no team has a more than 35% chance of winning the title. But similarly, chaotic times also mean opportunities. The Premier League is like a war right now. What should we do during wartime?"

"Come on, Tom, you answer."

Ten Hag kicked Tang Ye's foot.

"Hmm...fly over there and blow them all to smithereens."

"..."

Ten Hag stood there speechless, while Lingard and Valencia started to jeer.

"well said!"

"A perfect plan, Tom!"

"OK OK!"

Ten Hag gestured for the players to be quiet: "What should we do in times of war? We should be heroes and rule this chaotic era."

The players gradually quieted down.

Tang Ye listened very attentively.

To rule over a chaotic era.

Mr. Eric, you're so handsome!

"We witnessed last season's era, the era of Manchester City. That era is now over, and I have a sense of mission, an unprecedented sense of mission, to create a new era with you all, an era for Manchester United amidst the chaos."

Ten Hag's speech left the Manchester United players in the locker room deep in thought.

It's quite touching.

but……

What should we do?

Amidst the chaos, Manchester United's era...

Tang Ye blinked, then picked up the magnetic flag that Tenhah had knocked to the ground: "We still have 3 matches left, so we can decide on the champions first."

"Sharing the prize?"

Ten Hag walked up to Tang Ye, and the other players gathered around.

"It's about awarding a championship. The competition needs to be fair; everyone should get a chance to win."

With that, Tang Ye pressed the magnetic flag onto the floor in front of him: "The Premier League title, give this to me."

"And the Champions League title, this is for you, Mr. Eric."

The third is... the FA Cup winner.

Tang Ye looked up at Van der Gach: "Mr. Michel, this is for you."

"This……"

Tenhah squatted down and looked at the three magnetic flags that Tang Ye had placed on the ground.

Wow.

……

Historical records indicate that during Manchester United's difficult period in the 18/19 season, Teng Sheng sought help from a master through a long and winding path.

Teng asked: When the world is in chaos and heroes rise up, with Manchester City and Liverpool dominating their respective regions and Manchester United sandwiched in between, what should be done?
The master said: "It is the division of the world into three parts."

Teng asked: I would like to hear the details.

The master said: The world belongs to all people. The three kingdoms should divide the land equally according to their strength.

Teng pressed further: How do you divide them?

The master said: "A city is but a small state, not worth worrying about; it can be swallowed up and renamed. Liverpool is not a large club either; a direct attack is the best approach. Make Manchester City and Liverpool vassals of Manchester United, distribute land to them, and I will possess them all; this is the division of the world into three." (Manchester City is just a small club; defeating them and renaming them is sufficient. Liverpool is not a large club either; a direct attack is the best method. Making Manchester City and Liverpool vassals of Manchester United and distributing land to them is the way to divide the world into three.)
The phrase "three kingdoms" actually has a subject when expanded upon.

Who is dividing the world into three?
It's Manchester United.

Manchester United dominates the world.

Reprint: Manchester United releases promotional poster for their match against Fulham, featuring Tang Ye, Rodri, and De Jong. Tang Ye is expected to be a key figure in the club's first match of 2019.

Tang Ye arrived at the stadium early with the Manchester United players and chatted with his teammates in the locker room.

"It's still cold here, but it's very hot in the UAE. If possible, we should go there to play our match."

Tang Ye took off his down jacket and rubbed his hands together.

The 20-degree Celsius temperature in Abu Dhabi was just right for him, while the single-digit temperatures in England were not so comfortable.

"You think one Asian Cup title isn't enough, right?"

Rodri used a hot air blower to warm his sneakers as much as possible.

"We will have a championship, this season, just like you said before."

"Ha ha"

Tang Ye was somewhat surprised that Rodri remembered his words so clearly: "Then we need to take down Liverpool first this month."

The draw in the first match of February led to Manchester United being stabbed in the back by Liverpool.

Tang Ye found this to be highly unreasonable.

Manchester United's Red Devils are the true owners of the attacking trident.

It should be Manchester United poking Liverpool in the backside!

……

Dongqiudi live match report: In the 55th minute of the second half, Tang Ye came on as a substitute for Lingard.

On the sidelines, Tang Ye handed his substitute vest to the equipment manager, then rubbed his hands together.

Wow!!!

"Oh, he's coming!"

The English commentator shouted.

As expected, on the fifth day after returning to the club, Tang Ye came on as a substitute to start his first club match of 2019.

"Tang Ye!"

"Tang Ye!"

It wasn't just Manchester United fans chanting; Fulham fans were chanting too.

It seems they never even considered the possibility of winning against Manchester United.

"Fire to the left! Fire to the left!"

Once on the court, Tang Ye handed the note to his teammates and then began to choose his position.

"Remember to move closer to me!"

boom!
Brian throws the ball to Babel.

Fulham's second attack has begun!

Tang Ye quickly moved towards the back of the field.

Babel is at the byline!
"hurry up!"

"Get past him!"

The fans urged him on, and Babel, who had returned to the wing, perfectly showcased his speed and ability.

Snapped!
A cross is delivered!
Back position!

The Fulham midfielder jumped up and headed the ball into the penalty area, successfully passing it to Mitrovic who rushed in from the middle.

boom!
A shot on target was taken.

"GOOOO-AAAA-LLLLL!!!"

"The ball is in!"

"Mitrovic!"

"1-2! Fulham have successfully pulled one back!"

Fulham players begin their celebration.

The director cleverly focused the camera on Tang Ye.

Dongqiudi live match report: 47 seconds after Tang Ye came on as a substitute, Fulham launched a perfect attack down the wing, and Mitrovic scored with a close-range finish.

It's not embarrassing to concede a goal; the most embarrassing thing is that Manchester United's number 10, who was just substituted on, was the one who was in the most awkward position.

"I rely on"

Tang Ye touched his nose: "Did they hit so fast?"

"Defense inside the penalty area!"

Ten Hag was still yelling, "Where's our defense in the penalty area? Why can their center forward get into our penalty area? When he comes in, we need to push him out immediately, push him out, do you understand what I mean?"

Tang Ye gave a thumbs up.

He certainly understood what Mr. Eric meant.

He just hasn't touched the ball used in today's match yet.
