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

Chapter 510: Ball worries about Manchester United's future; FA Cup battle against the Big Six.
"what?"

Tang Ye was taken aback for a moment, then asked after regaining his senses, "Why do you say that?"

Previously, a Xinhua News Agency reporter asked him about his transfer and departure, and now his agent is asking him again.

Is something bad happening to Manchester United?
"Well, it's not that I'm suggesting you leave, it's just..."

Touching his chin, Paul was organizing his thoughts: "In my opinion, if you want to pursue higher goals, leaving would be a good option."

At Tang Ye's request, Boer briefly explained why he said those things.

Porter is a football agent, so he is quite knowledgeable about the affairs of various teams in European leagues.

"Given the current situation, Tom, if you think Manchester United needs to continue to improve, in which positions do you need to strengthen their squad?"

"Uh... right winger?"

Tang Ye said, "And the right-back position, those two positions are probably the most important. The rest are fine."

"Yes, a right winger, but you know what? You absolutely won't be able to buy a suitable right winger this summer transfer window."

Boll spoke to Tang Ye in a very firm tone: "If Manchester United wants to improve upon their current level, they need at least a right winger worth 5000 million euros or more, and one whose technical characteristics match yours, meaning a speed-type right winger worth 5000 million euros."

A speedy right winger worth €50 million, which includes three restrictions.

Using these three restrictions to find players in the top five European leagues, you can find no more than a dozen.

Most importantly, they all come from prestigious clubs, such as Dembele from Barcelona and Neymar from Paris Saint-Germain.

These players are characterized by their high transfer fees and their crucial importance to their respective clubs, with many being irreplaceable.

"Manchester United's budget for the summer transfer window is around €150 million, that's my estimate. If you want to solve your right-wing problem, given the current transfer market, you'll have to forcefully buy Dembele from Barcelona. Well... if you're willing to pay enough, you can indeed get Dembele, but after buying Dembele, the right-back problem will remain unresolved."

Bohr said quite a lot at once.

Seeing Tang Ye's puzzled expression, Bo'er briefly summarized the situation.
"The current player market is very unfavorable for you. If you were lacking a left winger, that would be fine, but the right winger is a problem."

"Well...actually, buying a few ordinary wingers and developing them would be fine. A team is for developing players. Mason is pretty good, Mason Greenwood, but he's a bit young, even younger than me."

After Tang Ye finished speaking, Boer suddenly fell silent.

"I've thought about that too, but as far as I can remember, Manchester United doesn't seem to have developed any particularly good players in recent years, right?"

The Premier League has a busy schedule, which is suitable for high-level players to compete against each other, but it is not a good breeding ground compared to other leagues.

Then there are the problems that Manchester United itself has.

"hiss……"

Tang Ye took a deep breath.

It was only after Boll said that I realized my team was facing such a predicament.

"Boll... perhaps, well, every team encounters problems sometimes, we don't need to strive for perfection."

Tang Ye relaxed: "With this lineup, we have a high win rate. We beat Juventus, and our league ranking is also good. We should be able to rise to second place before the end of this month."

"So what I just said wasn't exactly advice, it was just my thought."

Boll smiled and said, "If you're interested, feel free to contact me anytime. I'll try to get you to the team you want to join. Of course, except for Barcelona."

Tang Ye's eyes lit up: "Why not Barcelona?"

"If you insist on going, I won't stop you, but my advice is, don't play on the same team as either Messi or Ronaldo."

"You didn't care before, but now you're in competition with them, haha."

Bohr stood up from his chair and patted Tang Ye on the shoulder: "See you next month. Um... I should be in Spain next month. If you want me to bring you anything from Villarreal, then contact me in advance. You can call me anytime, even if I'm sleeping."

"Haha, thanks, but I don't think I need it."

"Goodbye, Tom!"

Bohr walked away, then, as if remembering something, turned back.

"Come on, my greatest athlete, we await your Premier League title!"

Snapped!
[De Bruyne's Standard Long Pass Lv5: Replica (Beyond Form)]

Proficiency: 3012/5000
[De Bruyne's curved through ball lv5: Replica (Beyond the original state)]

Proficiency: 1121/3500
When there are no competitions, it's the best time to grind proficiency. In the past week, Tang Ye has grinded a total of about 800 proficiency points on several of his growth templates, which is incredibly strong.

However, his passing attribute just went from 91 to 92, and it hasn't been long since then, so it's unlikely that it will be able to continue to rise anytime soon.

According to Tang Ye's experience, it is very difficult to improve high-value attributes such as passing and ball control through training alone without having several legendary templates.

Ok……

Tang Ye's mentality is actually quite good. With a current overall attribute of 87 and a 10% bonus, he is more than capable of playing for Manchester United.

His priority right now is to focus on each upcoming match, advance, and accumulate more league points.

……

February 18, London, UK.

Sky Sports Radio.

"Right behind me is Chelsea's home ground, Stamford Bridge in London. In four and a half hours, Chelsea and Manchester United will kick off their FA Cup fifth-round match. Now we'd like to interview some Chelsea fans in the stadium."

The female host found a middle-aged man wearing a down jacket.

From the camera's perspective, this Chelsea fan seemed to be in a relatively relaxed mood.

"As a Chelsea fan, do you think the team can win at home against Manchester United?"

"wel...I'm being relatively objective; I know Manchester United are very strong this season."

The middle-aged man shrugged: "My thinking is that if we feel we can't win the game, we can just give up. Because compared to the FA Cup, I think Champions League qualification is more important to Chelsea; we need to strive to stay in the top four of the league."

The reporter's eyes widened, surprised that a fan could be so objective: "So you're just surrendering? You think Chelsea has absolutely no chance of beating Manchester United?"

“Oh, of course not, we have a chance, but I think we need to pay too high a price if we want to beat Manchester United. The London derby is coming up soon, and Sarri (Chelsea manager) should adjust his focus.”

The top teams in the Premier League are under a lot of pressure this season.

With Manchester clubs 3-1 and Liverpool already securing three Champions League spots, the remaining 17 teams will have to fight tooth and nail for just one.

Chelsea are currently fourth, but they could be overtaken by Arsenal and Tottenham at any time.

"Well, sir, although you say that, I still wish you all the best in today's match, because the FA Cup may be Chelsea's best chance to win the title this season."

……

"Ok!"

"Brothers, welcome to my live stream! Lately, I haven't had many viewers, so please come and support me!"

Wang Chao chewed gum and rubbed his little hands together.

He's ready for the next match!

"Today Manchester United plays Chelsea away. In my opinion, there's a small chance of a draw, but a high probability of Manchester United winning by a large margin."

Wang Chao shared his views with viewers in the live stream.

Actually, it's pretty much the same as what that Chelsea fan said before.

It's unrealistic for Chelsea to beat Manchester United this season. Wang Chao's guess is that Chelsea will play seriously in the first half, but as soon as they realize they have no chance, they will simply give up on the game.

Securing a Champions League spot is more important to them!

[A big win against Chelsea? Really? Guys, can we trust this commentator?]

[This is fake. I suggest you follow my advice; I bet on Chelsea to win outright.]

[Did the person upstairs consume too much Sanlu milk powder? Didn't they see Tang Ye's post?]

[Hmm... Conservative investors chose to buy Tangye Assist King wealth management products; I bought in early and have an 11% profit.]

[Stop making money! Please stop! (Tears) (Tears)]

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. The streamer isn't forcing you to follow my train of thought." "But I can only say that following the streamer's train of thought will at least give you a thorough understanding of the game, because those familiar with the streamer know that his understanding of football tactics is unparalleled across the entire platform."

"Alright, let the match begin!"

After the referee blew the whistle, Wang Chao introduced Chelsea's starting lineup to the fans according to procedure.

Chelsea (4-3-3)

Goalkeeper: Kepa

Defenders: Azpilicueta, Rudiger, David Luiz, Marcos Alonso

Midfielders: Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic

Forwards: Pedro, Higuain, Hazard
Head Coach: Sarri
"Chelsea's lineup today is quite impressive, which is why the commentator just said a draw was possible."

"Let's put it this way: Chelsea is one of the few teams in the Premier League currently capable of putting up a draw with Manchester United. Of course, I'm referring to a fully-fledged Manchester United team, not the one from the Asian Cup era."

"Wow wow wow!"

"Kante, send a long pass straight forward."

"Higuain passes to Hazard again!"

"Zha Qiuwang! Let's see your skills!"

The camera focused on Chelsea's left flank, where Hazard slowly advanced the ball.

He's not fast, but Hazard has a huge reputation, so Manchester United's defenders still pay attention to him.

De Jong is watching, and Ziyech is also retreating.

Tang Ye was also there, of course; he had already set his sights on Kovacic.

Hazard adjusted himself and then passed the ball to Higuain, who came over to receive it.

Higuain passes to Jorginho!

Jorginho passes to Pedro again!
"Chelsea's attack was quite fluid, but it's not unusual for a fourth-placed team in the Premier League to play at this level."

"Pedro!"

"Pedro, what's going on? Get to the byline! If you don't, I, King Tang, am going to tackle you!"

Perhaps prompted by Wang Chao's urging, Pedro finally began to move to the byline.

With Higuain not yet in position, Pedro had to abandon his idea of ​​a direct cross and instead pass the ball back to Kanté, who was coming up behind him.

Kante cuts inside!

Snapped!
A high ball is lobbed to Hazard, and the Chelsea striker accelerates towards the byline.

Perfect ball control!
"Manchester United is in danger!"

"Tang Ye, why aren't you stepping forward!"

"Hiss, but we're on defense right now, so it'll be difficult for Tang Ye to step up."

Hazard stopped the ball in front of him and, under Valencia's marking, headed straight into the penalty area.

Pass to Higuain!

boom!
Higuain played a through ball back, and Hazard used his body to block the position, pushing Valencia behind him.

Enter the restricted area directly!

Facing Smalling's defense, Hazard chose to control the ball himself.

Rhythm change!

With his center of gravity shifting up and down, and his speed varying from fast to slow, Smalling's defense was broken down.

Snapped!
A shot hit the left post, then bounced off and struck De Gea.

Finally, the ball enters the net.

"I rely on!"

"I rely on"

"Hazard, damn it, no, I was just kidding when I said I'd let him score, don't actually score!"

The situation on the field was truly something no one could have predicted.

Thanks to a well-coordinated attack by Hazard and Higuain, Chelsea opened the scoring for Manchester United in the 8th minute of the first half.

"Wow!!!!"

Stamford Bridge erupted in cheers as Hazard surged forward.

Slide on your knees!

Swish swish! ! !
Hazard celebrates by spreading his arms out to the side as if peeling a pear.

"Goal!"

"Harzard!"

"The goal scorer is..."

"Harzard!!!"

As fans chanted Hazard's name in unison with the announcer, the score on the big screen changed from 0-0 to 1-0.

Chelsea, playing at home, are leading by one goal!
"I...fuck, how did he get in so easily?!"

A dispute broke out among Manchester United players in the penalty area, with De Gea questioning Smalling.

Smalling bears the brunt of the blame for this defensive blunder.

"Fuck, I can't help it."

Smalling shrugged.

"Forget it!"

Rhodes shouted, "If we're unlucky, we'll just fight back!"

Rhodes spoke very loudly.

When he first came to Manchester United last season, he was just Tang Ye's junior, the kind of guy who didn't dare to yell at his teammates.

But because of his outstanding performance, Rodri has gradually changed since the beginning of this season.

He's still Tang Ye's underling; his identity hasn't changed at all.

But Rodri now has a lot of influence within Manchester United!
"We shouldn't use left and right switches; if we're attacking on the left, we should focus on the left."

The players made a quick adjustment, and the game soon resumed!
The camera pans to Ten Hag on the sidelines of the pitch.

The Manchester United manager didn't look too good.

The plan was to win three consecutive games, but we fell behind in the very first game!
what the hell!

"We're still too slow to get into the zone."

Ten Hag and Van der Gaghe chatted: "We need to solve this problem, otherwise it will be difficult to play well later in the league."

In the Premier League, opponents study each other, which is why tactics need to be constantly changed.

After nearly 30 rounds of league play, the Manchester United coaching staff, along with the coaching staff of all other Premier League teams, now know Manchester United's key weaknesses.

Chelsea created their chances today by exploiting Manchester United's weaknesses.

"hiss……"

Taking a deep breath, Ten Hag looked at the Chelsea manager standing next to him.

Damn Sari.

It's time to discipline you!
