Chapter 556 Manchester United's 400 Million Struggle for Midfield, Tang Ye's Bizarre Car Accident

……

The front page headline of China.com Guangdong: Tang Ye suffers sudden car accident.

With just six words, this news item surged to the top of Baidu's trending searches within 10 minutes of its release.

It also received a pinned post from Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports betting platform).

Reprinted from "Guangdong Legal Commentary"—A rear-end collision occurred on G105 National Highway in Tangye, and the driver's side airbag deployed completely.

The reporter was quick; he obtained the surveillance footage of the car accident immediately.

A green Aston Martin was traveling at approximately 85 km/h.

There was a large truck carrying a container ahead, and the green sports car crashed directly into the back of the truck without slowing down at all.

The surveillance footage didn't show the driver's face, but judging from the news reports, it was definitely Tang Ye sitting in the driver's seat.

【? ? ? ? ? 】

【? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 】

[Holy crap, what the heck? Are you alright?]

Is the brakes broken? Or is he drunk? I suspect he's been drinking, but the speed is wrong too; someone drunk should be going over 100 km/h.

【No, please stop messing around, damn it...】

I saw the news about Tang Ye as soon as I woke up, and I thought my GGBond had done something again, but I didn't expect it to be a car accident.

And it happened right in front of my house!

Within half an hour of the incident, related terms such as #TangYeCarAccident topped the trending search lists on Baidu, Weibo, and other major platforms, with hundreds of comments being generated every second in the comment section.

Tang Ye has not shown up either, and the specific situation is currently unknown. Fans and netizens can only analyze the surveillance video.

A very strange thing.

During the day, with a wide field of vision, Tang Ye couldn't possibly have missed such a large vehicle in front of him.

Is the brake broken?

Netizens joined forces to find clues, and soon a netizen with a Guangdong IP address commented in the Weibo comments section that he had seen the Aston Martin.

He didn't know the car belonged to Tang Ye, but because the license plate number was unusual, he wrote it down on the spot.

A quick check reveals that this car was manufactured in 2019; it's a completely new car, so theoretically it shouldn't have any problems.

Then there is only one possibility.

The fans realized what was happening.

Tang Ye was distracted while driving!

……

The Sun's front-page headline reads: "TY was involved in a car accident in China. It has been confirmed that he is not in life-threatening condition. Reporters are heading to the hospital to learn more about the player's condition."

"It is reported that TY was driving a 2019 Aston Martin DB11, equipped with a 5.2T/V12 engine, producing a maximum of 608 horsepower, a top speed of 322 km/h, and an acceleration time of only 3.9 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h."

The Sun reporter thoughtfully provided detailed specifications of the vehicle Tang Ye was driving.

However, these figures are actually unnecessary. Regardless of whether it's a 5.2T or a V12 engine, Tang Ye's speed was less than 100km/h when the accident occurred.

In short, the cause of Tang Ye's accident had little to do with the car itself; it was purely a problem with his own operation.

Well... it can't be said to be an operational problem, because judging from the surveillance footage, Tang Ye didn't operate anything at all; it was as if he was asleep in the car.

This video could easily make three episodes of "Approaching Science"!

[GD Provincial People's Hospital (Pingzhou Branch)]

The hospital entrance was packed with reporters, fans, and onlookers.

"As you can see behind me is the GD Provincial People's Hospital. According to feedback from the scene, Tang Ye was taken to the hospital immediately after the car accident."

The reporter showed his phone screen to the camera: "As you can see, these are photos of the accident scene from the front. There's still a small amount of blood on the driver's side, and witnesses reported that Tang Ye was unable to walk upright when he was taken out of the car. The specific details are still unclear, so we're waiting outside the hospital."

Drop drop!
"Give me a moment!"

The brown Bentley was forced to stop amidst the crowd of fans. Tang Zhengxiong got out of the driver's seat and quickly ran towards the hospital building.

"Masao!"

"Brother Zhengxiong! Is something wrong with Tang Ye?"

"Wait a minute, Brother Zhengxiong!"

The fans are very anxious.

The car wasn't going fast, and the airbags deployed normally, so Tang Ye was definitely not in any danger.

But Tang Ye is no ordinary person.

He is a professional athlete, and any injury to his body will have a significant impact.

hiss--

Fans squatted at the hospital entrance, while reporters kept trying to get in.

……

Manchester United have issued a statement saying they are deeply saddened by the car accident involving player Tang Ye. The club has arranged for personnel to visit him in China. Please wait for an official announcement from the club for further details.

Marca's front-page headline: TY is suspected of being distracted and rear-ending the car in front of him; he has been taken to the hospital for treatment.

Sky Sports: TY car accident...

Globo Esporte: At 10:12 AM local time, Manchester United star TY...

The front page headline of "Japan Football"...

In just a few hours, Tang Ye achieved dominance over major media outlets around the world.

"hiss……"

Tang Ye leaned against the hospital bed, with his attending physician and the hospital director standing beside him.

"Am I going to be okay... um?"

The attending physician examined Tang Ye's knee: "How are you feeling now?"

"Yeah, it hurts a little."

"On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your current level of pain?"

"Hmm... Level 6, I guess."

"You're so calm about passing the CET-6?"

The attending physician was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Tang Ye was, after all, an athlete, and his pain tolerance was indeed different from that of ordinary people.

"I'll give you some painkillers first, then we'll take an X-ray."

"Oh, okay, doctor, what do you think is wrong with me, and how long will it take to get better?"

Tang Ye moved his right leg: "I feel some stiffness around my knee; I can't bend or straighten my lower leg normally."

The attending physician examined Tang Ye's knee, exchanged a glance with the hospital director, and then said, "My guess is a knee dislocation, but I can't be sure until the X-ray results are in."

"If it's a knee dislocation, how long do I need to rest?"

"Judging from the situation, your dislocation doesn't seem too serious. You should be able to walk normally in less than two months, but... it might take a little longer to return to normal competition."

The doctor gave his answer, and Tang Ye finally heard the words he didn't want to hear.

More than two months...

"I rely on"

Tang Ye clutched his head: "Can you hurry up? Is there any other way?"

"Um, Mr. Tang Ye, I know you're in a hurry, but let's take a video first, and then I'll analyze it for you."

The hospital director approached the doctor and spoke to Tang Ye: "Sir, I can assure you that you will receive the best treatment here."

"Hiss... um, thank you."

Tang Ye raised his hand, wanting to fist bump with the dean.

"Ok?"

The dean was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Tang Ye meant.

"Oh, sorry, sorry"

Tang Ye patted the dean's arm, then withdrew his hand.

He has some habits that he can't seem to break.

"Tang Ye!"

Tang Zhengxiong rushed in from outside: "Are you alright? Damn, how did you get hit?"

"I'm going to give you some painkillers first."

The nurse brought over the equipment, and Tang Zhengxiong went to Tang Ye's bedside.

Tang Zhengxiong's attention was focused on Tang Ye's arm, which was cut by glass and bleeding profusely: "Is your arm alright?"

"My arm is fine, applying some iodine should fix it, but my knee is the main problem." The arm injury wasn't serious to begin with, and it basically didn't affect Tang Ye's ability to play football.

The core issue is still the knees.

If this problem can't be solved, it will be a real big problem!
"hiss……"

Tang Zhengxiong took a deep breath.

He wanted to say something more, but suddenly realized he didn't know what to say. Just then, the doctor was ready to administer painkillers, so Tang Zhenxiong moved aside.

"It might hurt a little."

"Um"

The needle was inserted into Tang Ye's knee.

"I rely on..."

Tang Ye gritted his teeth as the doctor gently pushed the syringe, the needle slowly penetrating deeper.

"By the way, Dad, could you go and ask if I still have my phone? I need to send a message, or you can send it for me, just say I'm okay now."

"I suggest waiting for the full test results."

The dean reminded.

"Okay, let me find my phone first. My teammates and coach should be looking for me."

……

Chinese Football Dragon Team: Player Tang Ye is currently receiving active treatment in the hospital.

About two hours later, Tang Zhengxiong posted his X-ray photos on various social media accounts as requested by Tang Ye.

Diagnosis: Tibial plateau fracture, lateral plateau split, no displacement found.

The results came out, and fans immediately transformed into medical experts, trying to understand the details of the so-called tibial plateau fracture.

In addition, newspapers have speculated on the possible causes of Tang Ye's injury.

The front page headline of Sports Weekly reported that Tang Ye was found to have a tibial plateau fracture. According to relevant experts, Tang Ye's knee struck the carbon fiber part below the dashboard at the moment of the car collision.

"We haven't had the opportunity to speak with Tang Ye yet, but we can roughly deduce that he may have been distracted while driving, which led to this series of tragedies."

CCTV5 hosts connect with live reporters.

"Fans are currently focused on Tang Ye's recovery time. Do you have a general answer on this?"

"Yes, we saw Tang Yefa's medical report on his Weibo account. He did have a tibial plateau fracture, and we consulted with relevant orthopedic specialists."

The reporter's camera panned to the expert standing nearby, who was holding Tang Ye's medical report and pointing to the area where the upper and lower legs connect, namely the knee.

"As we can see, Tang Ye has a crack in the lateral tibial plateau, but no displacement was found. We can consider this to be a type I fracture."

"We don't yet know what decision Tang Ye himself made, but if it were me, I would advise him to opt for conservative treatment, that is, to avoid surgery. This way, he could complete basic recovery in about three months."

Top post on Dongqiudi: Tang Ye suffered a knee fracture in a car accident, and experts say he will need about 3 months to recover.

[This is awful Aston Martin, why did they put carbon fiber interior trim? Wouldn't it hurt terribly if someone crashed into them?]

[The airbags deployed, so how come the knee was injured?]

Three months isn't too bad, especially since it's the off-season now, so we can just get through it.

[Note that the 3 months mentioned here refers to normal life. You're saying you can play in the Premier League 3 months after a fracture?]

[Dembele: No, I'm almost here, Tom, what's going on with you?]

[Was there a bird flying overhead while he was driving? I feel like Tang Ye was looking at something, otherwise he wouldn't have left the brakes on.]

[Tang the Ball King, sob sob sob]

……

On the day of the car accident, all of Tang Ye's sponsors shared the news and expressed their condolences to the player. Several clubs that Tang Ye had previously played for also shared the news.

The next day, it was still unclear whether Tang Ye would need to undergo knee surgery, but a new piece of news about Manchester United had emerged.

Romano: Here We Go! Dembele's transfer to Manchester United is expected to cost €1.1 million plus €2000 million in add-ons, with an official announcement expected within a week.

Romano's transfer news is generally accurate.

This news is also verifiable, as Dembele posted a screenshot on his personal account of himself playing ranked games with Tang Ye in League of Legends, which is a signal that he will soon officially announce his move to Manchester United.

With Wan-Bissaka and Dembele, Manchester United have spent approximately €1.6 million on transfers so far.

The remaining money will likely only be enough to buy one player.

Then, which one to buy becomes a very worthwhile topic of discussion.

A new, stronger center?
Or a better center-back?

With key center-back Chris Smalling loaned to Roma, Manchester United fans generally believe they will get a new center-back.

Both Matthijs de Ligt of Ajax and Harry Maguire of Leicester City are very attractive to Manchester United.

Manchester Evening News – Chris Smalling's loan will bring in €300 million for Manchester United, and it is understood that Erik ten Hag is also interested in selling Anthony Martial, but United have not been able to find a replacement.

Sky Sports: Dembele's signing is practically official, and Manchester United's prospects look promising after strengthening the right winger position.

"Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Tom, who was in the car accident, can recover quickly and return to the court."

……

Manchester United have announced that midfielder Tang Ye will not participate in the pre-season friendlies in July and August.

Aston Martin CEO: Regarding the car accident involving football star Tang Ye, Aston Martin designers will make corrections and adjustments to the interior of the DB11 model.

Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports betting platform) pinned post: Tang Ye has decided to undergo conservative treatment and will not have surgery. It is estimated that he will need approximately three months. His return to the field is undetermined.

Manchester United's summer transfer window has been pretty good since June, with the arrivals of Wan-Bissaka and Dembele effectively addressing the team's squad issues.

Therefore, a famous quote from a Manchester United fan online goes: "This summer transfer window was perfect except for the car accident; I'll never buy an Aston Martin again."

That despicable Aston Martin hurt Tom.

You're not buying it?

Okay, then I won't buy it.

……

Sports Weekly – To facilitate a full recovery, Tang Ye's agent suggested he travel to Germany for stem cell therapy to rapidly repair cartilage damage. However, this is still in the planning stages, and Tang Ye's team is awaiting a better plan.

Tang Ye suffered a fracture, but for an athlete like him, simply lying in the hospital and waiting is definitely not an option.

Bohr offered Tang Ye a new idea.

Previously, a Belgian player named Boll also encountered the same problem and received stem cell treatment at an orthopedic hospital in Berlin. He eventually recovered 20 days earlier than expected.

This is great news, but Tang Ye and Bo Er are still waiting, as Tang Ye has already received proposals from many hospitals around the world.

You absolutely mustn't rush things in times like this...

On July 4, Manchester United players returned to the training base to begin preparations for the new season, while Tang Ye was alone in a hospital bed at Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, eating a hamburger.

You purchased Hazard's Super Burger.

Tang Ye's ball control attribute has been stuck at 89 for several months, but he now feels like he's about to break through.

While Tang Ye was eating a hamburger and watching a rugby game, the transfer market quietly updated.

Top post on Dongqiudi: Transfermarkt releases new player valuations, Tang Ye at €2 million, Manchester United's starting lineup tops the Premier League in terms of value.

This time, Transfermarkt only updated the player values ​​for the Premier League, La Liga, and the Belgian league, but that's more than enough.

If it's the English Premier League, then the key point for Chinese fans will definitely be Manchester United.

Manchester United player market value rankings (July 4, 2019)

1. Tang Ye, 2 million euros (—)

2. Rodri, €1.1 million (up €3500 million).

3. Frenkie de Jong, €9000 million (up €2500 million).

4. Rashford, €9000 million (—).

5. Ziyech, €7500 million (↑€2500 million).

……

15. Greenwood, €3000 million (↑€2000 million)

Expected transfer: Ousmane Dembélé, €1 million (down €2000 million)

I was already shocked when I saw the value of Manchester United's midfielders six months ago, and with their Premier League title win, Manchester United's midfield has become even stronger.

What is 2 + 1.1 + 0.9?
is 4!

Manchester United's three midfielders cost 400 million.

Can you bear this?
