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

Chapter 529: 33 rounds, 88 points, 3 penalty kicks – a treasure chest mission (Bonus chapter, please vote!)
"Take me home ~ United Road ~"

"To the place I belong~"

"to Old Trafford and see United"

"..."

Fans in the stadium stands are singing loudly.

Tang Ye certainly knew how to sing this song, so he and his teammates sang along.

But he soon discovered that his lyrics didn't match those of the fans.

"to Old Trafford and see GGBond"

The camera focused on Tang Ye's face; the Manchester United number 10 looked somewhat bewildered.

"Ha ha!"

Wow!!!

The fans burst into laughter and continued with the second half of their lyrics.

"GG!"

"Bond!"

"GGBond!"

"Bond the United!"

PS: In English, "bond" means a link or connection.

"Master bond! Bond the United!"

Tang Ye raised his hands, looking somewhat innocent.

GGBond is GGBond, why do we break it down and pronounce it separately?
Bond means link or tie.

The bond connects more than 20 Manchester United fans.

So what is GG?
"Tom!"

“viva TomTom”

"Always TomTom!"

CCTV5's live broadcast has ended, but the English broadcast is still showing footage of the stadium at that moment.

"I must admit that Manchester United now possesses the dominance of the league, having surpassed Manchester City in both goal difference and points."

The English commentary provides feedback.

……

The Manchester Evening News' front-page headline reads: "Manchester United have maintained a perfect record in the Premier League since TY returned on February 5."

2018-19 Premier League Standings (as of the end of Round 32):

1. Manchester United, 85 points.

2. Manchester City, 82 points.

3. Liverpool, 81 points.

4. Tottenham Hotspur, 61 points.

5. Chelsea, 61 points.

When January ended, Manchester United were still far behind, but by the end of March, they had completely recovered.

After receiving the MVP trophy for this match, Tang Ye returned to the venue to be interviewed by reporters.

The reporters have been looking forward to today's post-match interview for a long time.

They had so many questions they wanted to ask!

"You've also overtaken Manchester City in goal difference, and your prospects for winning the league title look very promising. But we all know that Manchester United will face a busy schedule next month... Tom, do you think the team can pull through the tough schedule?"

Tang Ye wiped the sweat from his face with his jersey: "I know that. We've done a lot of preparation for next month's game. I think we can do it."

"Shaw (Luke Shaw) won't be able to participate in official matches until May, which will have some impact on us, but I think we can withstand the risks of Shaw's absence."

Cough!

Tang Ye, who had been substituted off and was sitting on the bench, hadn't been wearing a jacket and seemed to have caught a cold.

"We saw you suffer a malicious foul from the opponent in the 60th minute. How is your ankle now?"

Oh, of course.

In case the reporter didn't believe him, Tang Ye lifted his right foot, which was wrapped with an ice pack: "I just got off after being stepped on, it's not a problem."

The team doctor has not yet given a definitive diagnosis, but Tang Ye's experience tells him that he can participate in the next game.

"Well... Tom, would you like to say something about the transfer? Juventus and Dortmund have come up with a good idea to swap you for them..."

"Well, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure either, but my intention is to stay at Manchester United."

During Tang Ye's interview, a box popped up below the Sky Sports live stream.

TangYe's contract with Manchester United runs until 2024, with a weekly wage of £33 after tax and no release clause.

In addition to the basic terms, Sky Sports also provided some details of Tang Ye's contract with Manchester United.

Tangye's basic weekly wage is on the rise.

Simply put, it's about accumulating seniority. For every year Tang Ye stays at Manchester United, his basic weekly wage will increase by £2.2, capped at £40 (provided that Tang Ye makes no fewer than 30 appearances in all competitions in a single season; that is, if Tang Ye is injured, the weekly wage increase for that season will stop).

Of course, Tang Ye is a rather special player.

As a young football hero in China, GGBond's club salary only accounts for a small portion of his income.

……

FA: Raheem Sterling named FA Cup quarter-final man of the match.

The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) has nominated the Premier League Player of the Month for October:
1. Salah, Liverpool.

2. Tang Ye, Manchester United.

3. Martial, Manchester United.

4. Son Heung-min, Tottenham Hotspur.

5. Kante, Chelsea.

The Sun's front page headline reads: TY donated 1200 million yuan (approximately £140 million) to the Liangshan forest fire relief efforts in Sichuan, China, and another £55 to support the "Rashford Social Charities Foundation" founded by his club teammate Marcus Rashford.

According to a reporter from The Sun, Tang Ye seems to have high hopes for the foundation founded by Rashford, as this is already his second donation to the foundation this year.

……

On April 1st, the temperature was 7 degrees Celsius, and there was torrential rain.

As April officially begins in China, April arrives in England as well.

At 12:30 a.m., Tang Ye, who was standing by the window in a daze, received a message from Boer.

The Dutch helped Tang Ye choose a villa in the suburbs of Manchester.

The villa is very large, and most importantly, it only costs £320 million, which is a great deal.

Tang Ye: Then let's buy it.

[Pol: You're still awake?]

Bohr was startled by Tang Ye's quick reply.

[Boll: Tom, I have a match the day after tomorrow]

"Ha ha"

Bohr's anxious message made Tang Ye laugh.

In fact, many Premier League players sleep quite late, and Tang Ye is very certain that he is not the one who sleeps the latest in the Manchester United team.

Since Tang Ye wasn't asleep, Boer called him directly.

"Hmm... Tom, this villa is the most suitable for you that I've seen. It has a dedicated game room with a PS and a computer. But... my suggestion is..."

"We'll buy after the summer transfer window closes; by then, the price might have increased by £3 to £5."

Should we wait for housing prices to rise before buying?
That's certainly not what Bohr meant.

His thinking was that Tang Ye's current whereabouts were still uncertain, and buying a house now would be disastrous if he wasn't in Manchester in a few months: "Because I looked it up, the rent for that location is around £27 per month, which isn't suitable for investment. Although you have money, I suggest you don't spend it recklessly."

"It doesn't matter, Poll. I should still be at Manchester United next season."

Tang Ye said matter-of-factly.

But he couldn't argue with Ball, and the plan to buy a house in Manchester was ultimately put on hold.

In addition, Porto will use the offers from Juventus and Dortmund to put pressure on Manchester United to see if they can raise Tang Ye's weekly wage again.

Tang Ye wouldn't get involved in this kind of thing, since he really couldn't handle it.

……

On April 1st, during the day, as usual, Van der Gach posted all of the team's schedule for the month in the group chat.

4月2日，狼队VS曼联（英超第33轮）。    4月7日，沃特福德VS曼联（足总杯半决赛）。

On April 10th, Manchester United will face Paris Saint-Germain (the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals).

There were three matches before the 10th.

Seeing this schedule again made the Manchester United players' blood pressure rise.

The pressure is at its peak!

In contrast, Manchester City, having been eliminated from the Champions League, only needs to play 6 games.

Manchester United abandon Champions League to compete against Manchester City?
That's impossible. The Champions League is the most important competition, and we can't let it go no matter what.

Abandon the league to secure the Champions League?
That's impossible. If they did that and then failed in the Champions League, Manchester United's season would be ruined.

So...give up the FA Cup?

This is somewhat feasible; the problem has already reached the semi-finals.

Coaches and players are greedy; you can't expect any team to give up a championship trophy that's right in front of them.

……

Dongqiudi Match Report: Manchester United defeated Wolves 2-1 away from home. Tang Ye assisted Mata's goal, while Neves' long-range shot failed to secure a draw. (28312 comments)

Pinned post: 29 assists in 33 rounds, Tang Ye is currently only 1 goal away from 30 assists.

A football king is a football king.

[Only 33 rounds? Wow, I bet Manchester United already has 88 points! How are the other teams supposed to compete?]

[They've already talked about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so how can they give other teams a chance?]

[If Manchester United can maintain this form, could they clinch the title one or two rounds early?]

The problem is how to maintain this level of play. We have to play Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, and Chelsea afterwards. I'm speechless. Why didn't they play more games in March?

With 28 wins, 1 loss, and 4 draws in 33 rounds, Manchester United still leads the Premier League in total points and is showing a trend of widening the gap with Manchester City and Liverpool.

The vast majority of Manchester United fans are optimistic and believe that Manchester United can win the Premier League title this season.

However, some fans are still focusing their attention on the remaining games in April.

Two consecutive matches against Paris Saint-Germain, the Manchester derby, and another match against Chelsea.

Why doesn't the Premier League move the Manchester derby to March? That way, Manchester United won't be as stressed in April as they are now.

Damn it!
"3, 2, 1!"

"Man United!!!"

……

The Mirror's front-page headline: Manchester United are keen to push for a contract extension with TY. If the extension goes smoothly, TY's contract with Manchester United will last until 2026, with his weekly wage rising to £36 and his base weekly wage cap increasing to £45.

"It's worth noting that Manchester United's management only provided a contingency plan but didn't implement it; the Glazer family is discussing the feasibility of bringing Ronaldo back to Manchester United."

It's April now, and after April comes May, when the season ends and the transfer window will open.

A quick calculation shows that there are less than two months left before the Premier League transfer window officially opens.

In this context, news about Premier League player transfers, spearheaded by Tang Ye, has been rampant.

Fans and reporters were arguing fiercely about the transfer, while Tang Ye himself simply gave up browsing the news.

There are so many rumors circulating online lately that Tang Ye himself is going to be fooled if he keeps reading them!

The immediate priority is to prepare for the FA Cup semi-final against Watford, and incidentally study their next opponent.

Paris Saint-Germain from Ligue 1!

"Tom, I saw in the news that you're going to play football in Saudi Arabia, haha!"

Alai laughed loudly.

Because he knew the news was fake.

"I give up. I don't even know the things they're talking about."

Tang Ye was speechless.

TY is going to Saudi Arabia, TY is going to Qatar, TY is going to the United States.

I feel like these European journalists are like novelists, making up all the details in their articles.

TY will not go to Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

As for the United States, although LeBron James and Kobe Bryant are there, Tang Ye will not go.

GG Master still has many honors to win!
"I've stopped watching the news, Seba. I suggest you stop too; the recent news has been very bad."

Tang Ye suggested to Alai, "That's why I've been watching Man vs. Wild lately, you could check that out too."

As he spoke, Tang Ye tugged at his pants: "Going to an island wearing only a pair of shorts and living there for 30 days, that's incredibly impressive."

For someone like Tang Ye who is easily distracted, a survival show like this is perfect.

There isn't a particularly clear logical connection between the beginning and the end, so it's not a big problem if you get a little distracted.

This thing is just too attractive, so much so that Tang Ye even wanted to go to the swamp to catch crocodiles to eat.

"Huh, huh..."

Get ready...

approach!

Tang Ye changed his pace as he ran up, planted his foot firmly, and focused his attention on De Gea's hips.

Notice De Gea's shift in center of gravity.

Snapped!
A low shot was delivered.

De Gea jumped in the right direction, but still couldn't convert Tang Ye's shot.

"Ha ha!"

"David, I know you're going to attack from this side."

Tang Ye raised his hand and laughed loudly.

"Then why are you attacking from this side?"

De Gea sat on the ground, shrugging helplessly.

"Haha, you're using a fake move, so you definitely won't jump very far."

Tang Ye acted as if he understood him perfectly.

De Gea first made a feint to the left to try and fool Tang Ye, which meant that when Tang Ye later lunged to the right to make a save, he couldn't reach a position that was too far away.

At this point, Tang Ye only needs to aim for the blind spot, and with his accuracy, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Fuck!"

De Gea punched the grass next to him, splashing up the water in the grass.

Of course, De Gea was just putting on an act; in reality, he was quite happy.

"Wait a minute, Tom, you can really keep taking penalties like that. Since you're so accurate, it doesn't really matter whether you pay attention to the center of gravity or not."

De Gea slowly stood up from the ground and told Tang Ye his thoughts.

Tang Ye's greatest strength is his accuracy.

Even with fast ball speed, he can still hit accurately; that's the difference between a master and other penalty takers.

Given this, practicing blind spots might be a better option for Tang Ye than analyzing the opponent's goalkeeper's feints.

Michelle told me this.

Tang Ye glanced at Van der Gahr, who was observing from the side, and the latter raised his hand in greeting.

"It's definitely worth a try, but it's too dangerous. I think I should practice for a while longer."

Tang Ye flicked a ball at his feet and then volleyed it into the air.

duang!

The ball slammed heavily against the crossbar.

"If we try to find a blind spot, it would be terrible if we missed."

You have received a new mission.

[Mission Objective: Score 3 penalty kicks or 8 goals]

[Mission Reward: Random Rival Club Treasure Chest]

[Current progress: Penalty kicks (0) / Goals (0)]

Finally, we have work again!
