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

Chapter 555 Dembele transfers to Manchester United, Tang Ye joins Peking University
Dongqiudi pinned post: Peking University's high-level sports team is recruiting; Team B defeats Team A 22-0; Tang Ye scores 18 goals in 45 minutes.

"Wow!"

Tang Ye raised his hands and celebrated briefly with his teammates from Team B, then waited together for their final results.

Tang Ye used a towel to wipe the rain off his face.

To be honest, he's still a bit excited. With 18 goals, the score shouldn't be low.

He's about to become a college student!
"Um, Tang Ye, could I have your autograph?"

While they were still on the court, the school team players seized the opportunity to get Tang Ye's autograph.

Otherwise, once we cross the cordon, we'll have to compete with the people outside!

"Yes, of course, of course."

Tang Ye signs autographs for the players.

Then came the group photo...

Cell phones weren't allowed in the exam room, but that didn't stop the football team. They just had the students waiting outside filming with high-powered cameras.

From players to referees to volunteers, Tang Ye gave autographs to almost everyone on the field.

"Do you want your grades or not?!"

Zheng Zhi shouted, and Tang Ye quickly ran over: "So, Brother Zhi, is it a perfect score?"

Zheng Zhi looked at Tang Ye's report card: "His final score in the actual competition was 39.8, and his total score was..."

"No, 39.8? Where did you deduct 0.2 points? Don't steal my points!"

Tang Ye shrugged.

GG thought he had a perfect score, and he was even preparing to celebrate.

So you deducted 0.2 points from GG Master?
"Your defensive frequency was too low, and you didn't coordinate your defense with your teammates. To be honest, deducting 0.2 points from you is already too lenient."

Zheng Zhi said, "Don't blame me, I didn't score your points, I have to recuse myself."

Tang Ye put his hands behind his head: "Okay, so what's my total score?"

"Calculate it yourself, I've already told you the actual combat score."

"No, no, Brother Zhi, can you help me calculate this? I didn't bring my phone, so I can't."

"..."

Zheng Zhi handed the report card to Tang Ye.

Three scores of 59.2, and then a practical score of 39.8.

One point was deducted, bringing the total score to exactly 99!

"This... okay"

Tang Ye received his report card, and fans were already shouting outside.

However, Tang Ye was not in a hurry, and instead looked at the scores of the other candidates.

Liu Wenyu scored 90.22 and also successfully passed the exam!
"Haha, we're classmates now!"

"Will Tang, the King of Football, come to class?"

Liu Wenyu stood next to Tang Ye.

He is 18 years old this year. Standing next to Tang Ye, he looks a little thin and a little nervous.

"Tang Ye!"

"Tang Ye!"

"King Tang!"

The area outside was full of fans. Tang Ye and Zheng Zhi chatted briefly before heading outside.

Click!

Click, click, click!

"Tang Ye, check the results! The results!"

"Tang Ball King's autograph!"

"Tang Ye, we're classmates now! Call me senior!"

Tang Ye slowly approached the fans: "Hello, senior!"

"Ha ha!"

Click!

The reporter handed over the microphone, and Tang Ye showed the fans his exam results.

"Tang Ye, how do you feel about not getting 100 points in this high-level admissions exam? Before the exam, 20% of the fans thought you could get a perfect score."

"Hmm...actually, I feel this exam is quite difficult; it's definitely not easy to pass."

Tang Ye pointed to the stadium behind him: "The main thing is juggling the ball around the cones. Navigating the cones is alright, but juggling the ball requires speed, which depends a lot on practice. If I had a few more minutes to practice, I should be able to do it perfectly."

"What about in actual matches? We see that although you scored 18 goals in actual matches, you were still deducted 0.2 points."

The reporter, of course, saw Tang Ye's report card.

"To be honest, this is a bit frustrating because I didn't know that defense accounted for such a high percentage. This test is too comprehensive. I thought it was just about the higher the goal difference, but it actually considers the overall performance of the player."

Tang Ye slowly explained, "I can get a perfect score on juggling the ball around the cones with some practice, but I think it would be a bit difficult in a real match. This test is more suitable for Rodri and De Jong; I feel they could get a perfect score if they took it."

What about the two other candidates who took the exam with you? Did they pass as well?

"I just asked, and they said my skills test score is high enough, but we still need to wait for the college entrance exam results. The forward on my team needs to score 380 to get in."

"And what about you, Tang Ye? I remember your college entrance exam score wasn't very high?"

"..."

"Ha ha!"

"Wow!"

The fans started jeering, and Tang Ye quickly shook his head: "No, no, my previous exam had nothing to do with this."

Tang Ye explained to the reporter.

This exam is divided into many levels, with different requirements for academic performance.

Tang Ye doesn't need his college entrance exam scores at all.

"We've heard that professional athletes are not allowed to participate in high-level admissions exams."

Before Tang Ye could speak, a teacher from Peking University's Department of Physical Education approached and explained to the reporter, "Yes, there is indeed such a rule, but it means that young players who have participated in the Chinese Super League, China League One, or China League Two are not allowed to apply to any high-level sports schools. This rule is to prevent professional players from retiring directly to attend university, which is very detrimental to the development of young players."

"However, Tang Ye is not included in this list, and we have evidence to prove this."

"..."

The onlookers stared wide-eyed.

You can't get into Peking University if you're a Chinese Super League player.

The Premier League is fine, right?

"Tang Ye!"

"Tang Ye! Tang Ye!"

"China is awesome!"

……

Dongqiudi pinned post: Tang Yesan scored 59.2 in three events and 39.8 in actual combat, with a total score of 99, passing the Peking University high-level sports team entrance examination. The next step is to enter the public announcement stage.

[My dream of going to university wasn't ruined by the heavy rain!]

[This is... even a tsunami wouldn't help.]

[99 points? That's not bad. I remember you only needed 90 points to get into Peking University, right? There was someone who got 88 points and got into Huazhong University of Science and Technology.]

[Tang Ye didn't get 100 points, and it seems like people on Weibo are already starting to reflect on the exam-oriented education system.]

[Does Peking University only accept Premier League players? I'm not taking the exam then (doge)]

A reporter on the scene reported that Peking University invited Tang Ye to give a lecture at the Wenyi Hall, but Tang Ye declined. "He believes that he didn't do well academically in school and is not suitable to lecture top students."

Poor grades are one reason.

There was another reason: Peking University had not informed Tang Ye about the lecture in advance, so Tang Ye had plans after the afternoon exam.

Before returning to Guangdong, Tang Ye had to go to the General Administration of Sport again, where he had some things to take care of.

……

In June, when most professional players were taking a break, the newspaper was extremely busy, with countless transfer news stories from morning till night.

According to AS, Dembele's performances in the first two seasons have not met the club's expectations. Selling him for a suitable price would be a good outcome for both sides. The AS reporter points out that Barcelona's previous statement that Dembele was not for sale is actually incorrect.

Because of the player's inconsistency, Barcelona has never regarded Dembele as the absolute core, otherwise they would not have bought Griezmann.

The Manchester Evening News' front page headline reported that Ten Hag and Dembele had a direct phone conversation, with Manchester United even having Tom Holstein Kiel intervene to persuade Dembele. Between Dembele and Hazard, Manchester United are prioritizing Dembele.

Barcelona beat reporter: Dembele had a heated argument with manager Sarri at the training ground, and the player did not appear at the training ground for the last three days before the start of the break.

Dembele's refusal to participate in training has angered Barcelona fans.

However, Barcelona fans would be very willing to sell Dembele to Manchester United for more than 1.2 million euros!
Peking University official announcement: 2019490001, Tang Ye, welcome!

Evergrande Group: Football star Tang Ye has officially become the group's brand ambassador.

……

Your Hazard Super Burger is about to expire, with 2 minutes and 58 seconds remaining.

You purchased Hazard's Super Burger.

In Qingyuan, Guangdong, Tang Ye and Tang Zhengxiong came to a football school near their hometown.

"How about it?"

Xu Jiayin and Tang Ye walked together, their eyes scanning the incredible player beside them.

"I've played two friendly matches here before, and I felt this place was huge, much bigger than Shandong Luneng."

Tang Ye recalled, "But, haha, we won both of those friendly matches."

"Ha ha"

Xu Jiayin put his hand on Tang Ye's shoulder.

Xu Jiayin was very happy to have his first face-to-face conversation with Tang Ye, but at the same time, his emotions were also complicated.

He loves football, and the purpose of founding Evergrande Football School is to continuously provide top players for the club and the national team.

It turns out that Tang Ye was actually trained by Shandong Luneng!

"If you were Evergrande Football School, I can't imagine how happy I would be."

Xu Jiayin spoke next to Tang Ye, but he was actually speaking to the reporter who was following them.

"I almost came to Evergrande."

Tang Ye, hands in his pockets, steadily walked on the tactile paving: "I failed the exam back then, otherwise I would have played for Guangzhou Evergrande for the next two years."

Upon arriving at the training ground, Tang Ye took the Premier League Player of the Season trophy from Tang Zhengxiong and then carefully handed it to Xu Jiayin.

"hiss……"

Xu Jiayin's eyes were shining. After hesitating for a moment, he finally said, "Do you have the Asian Cup champion's medal? ...Could you sell it to me?"

"Ah, no, no, haha!"

Tang Ye quickly stepped back: "Chairman, I really can't give you the Asian Cup medal. If you want it, I can give you the La Liga Player of the Season award, or the Europa League medal."

"Haha, I know, just kidding."

Xu Jiayin shook his head, initially saying it was a joke, then suddenly changed the subject: "My idea is to hang the Asian Cup medals behind my office."

"This really won't do, this really won't do. I'll give you the La Liga Player of the Season award, Mr. Chairman. It just so happens that Guangzhou Evergrande has a partnership with Real Madrid, doesn't it?"

Click, click, click!

In the presence of reporters, Tang Ye and Xu Jiayin interacted with the players from Evergrande Football School.

"Come on, look ahead!"

Xu Jiayin slowly ran to the goal, and Tang Ye bypassed the defenders and smoothly pushed a through ball to Xu Jiayin.

There were defenders in the penalty area, but for some reason, both defenders fell down before they even touched Xu Jiayin.

Xu Jiayin stops the ball!
Snapped!
A shot was taken, but it flew past the post.

"Wow!"

"it's okay no problem"

Tang Ye and Xu Jiayin raised their hands to indicate: "Take your time, Chairman. I feel you have a lot of talent."

"Ha ha"

Guangdong Evergrande Football Club: Tang Ye donated the 18-19 Premier League Player of the Year trophy to Evergrande Football School, along with an additional donation of 800 million yuan to help with the school's development.

Dongqiudi reposted: Tang Ye led Xu Jiayin to participate in Evergrande's event match, and Tang Ye provided three assists for Xu Jiayin to successfully complete a hat-trick.

According to reports from on-site reporters, Xu Jiayin seems to be hoping to secure a strategic partnership with Manchester United through Tang Ye. If successful, Evergrande Football School will simultaneously have partners in both Real Madrid and Manchester United.

Dongqiudi reposted the report from Titan Sports Weekly, along with many photos of Tang Ye and Xu Jiayin.

There are many photos, and you can see that the usually relaxed and carefree GG father and son appear somewhat reserved in front of Xu Jiayin.

"Yes, I just played a friendly match with Chairman Xu and some youth training students from the football academy on field number 8. I felt it was quite meaningful."

Tang Ye stood on the grass, facing reporters from Sports Weekly and Evergrande Group.

"I've discovered that there are many talented players at Evergrande Football School. Several defenders have excellent awareness, and then there's Chairman Xu."

"How did Chairman Xu Jiayin play?"

The reporter asked with a smile.

"Oh, I feel that Chairman Xu doesn't usually have much time to play football, but I can sense that he has very good striker talent. In our professional terms, he has a nose for goal. Chairman Xu's nose for goal is excellent. I haven't encountered this kind of ability many times in the top five leagues."

Tang Ye told the reporter, "It's a pity Chairman Xu is too busy, otherwise he would definitely be an outstanding football player. Yes, his talent is at the national team level, or even higher."

Tang Ye spoke very seriously, while the two reporters from Titan Sports and Evergrande Group were trying hard not to laugh, creating a very comedic effect in the live broadcast room.

Stop licking, GGBond, please stop licking!

Tang Ye: Don't worry about me, I'm a member of Evergrande from now on.

Is my brother Zhengxiong really this honest? Okay, okay, but I still prefer his previous rebellious side.

[Question: Who has greater talent, Xu Jiayin or Cristiano Ronaldo? Tang Ye: Chairman Xu (immediately answers)]

……

France Football's front-page headline: Is the striker line about to be complete? Manchester United have proactively terminated negotiations with Hazard, which is seen as news that Dembele is preparing to transfer.

German football journalist: Dembele is very close to joining Manchester United; the journalist photographed the player browsing listings for luxury homes in Manchester on his phone.

After leaving Evergrande Football School, Tang Ye's activities in China were pretty much over.

At the end of the month, Tang Zhengxiong invited Tang Ye to participate in a football match in Foshan, but Tang Ye declined.

He's been busy with meetings and university entrance exams these past few days, and he really needs some time to rest.

Roar!
hoohoo!

Roar--! ! !
Tang Ye drove his car at high speed on the national highway.

Just then, his phone rang.

Ok?
Tang Ye lightly pressed the accelerator and picked up his phone at the same time.

The call was from Dembele.

"I'm definitely coming, Tom."

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye and Dembele chatted happily for a few minutes, then Tang Ye tossed his phone onto the passenger seat.

"Wow!"

hoohoo!

When you press the accelerator, the car engine roars fiercely.

With the offseason and good news, Tang Ye is in a great mood.

He could already picture himself winning the Premier League title with Osman.

GGBond + Ottoman!
Premier League champions!

And the Champions League title!

"call……"

Chewing gum, Tang Ye looked up through the windshield.

Three light blue birds flew swiftly across the sky ahead, and Tang Ye's eyes were fixed on one of them.

Why can birds fly so high even though their wings are so small?

Tang Ye wanted to figure this out because he thought flying in the sky was a really cool thing...

boom!
