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

Chapter 559 I feel you're even better than those athletes on TV.

The Sun reporter: Based on expert analysis and the team's schedule, TY should officially rejoin the team around the 12th round of the league.

The reporter indicated that Tang Ye might return to the team ahead of schedule, as his recent activity on social media suggests he is not far from making a comeback.

This is Tang Ye's first injury since his time in the Dutch Eredivisie, and it's an off-field injury.

Although the accident occurred during the off-season, the long recovery process for the fracture caused Tang Ye to miss several games.

The bad news is that Liverpool have maintained their excellent form from last season, while Manchester United have been drawn with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

The good news is that Tang Ye was injured during the summer transfer window, which means that as long as he returns in time, he can be fit for the second half of the league season and the Champions League knockout stage.

"call……"

Look up at the sky.

The sun is still very strong today; if you stay in it for too long, it can even cause a slight burning sensation.

Tang Ye shook his head slightly, took a big gulp of water, and then ended his afternoon training session.

With his teammates absent and no matches to play, Tang Ye has been incredibly bored these past few months.

To divert his attention, Tang Ye had no choice but to focus all his energy on physical training and ball drills.

Ample training time led to Tang Ye's attribute growth during the recovery period being even faster than during the competition period.

Take growth templates as an example.

Tang Ye's 45-degree cross is just a little bit away from level 6!
"here"

Zhou waved and then ran towards Tang Ye with a towel, saying, "Come on, let me wipe you down, let me wipe you down."

Tang Ye spread his arms wide, as if going through security. Zhou Ye quickly wiped the sweat off Tang Ye's body with a towel: "Really, you should put on sunscreen next time, the sun is too strong here."

"I don't like putting that kind of stuff on; it feels uncomfortable on my skin. So what if I get tanned? It doesn't matter."

Tang Ye has his own views on the matter of applying sunscreen.

The two went inside, and since Tang Ye had just finished training, Zhou Ye turned off the air conditioner in the room beforehand.

Wiping the sweat from his face with a towel to ensure his vision was clear, Tang Ye sat down in a chair: "Aren't you still filming? That war scene, when are you going back?"

"It's not about war; it's about students in a school, but it's set against the backdrop of the War of Resistance against Japan."

Zhou Ye explained, "I've told you four times already, but you always forget. Last time you even said I was going to shoot Japanese people with a gun, but I'm playing a college student!"

"Oh, mine, mine!"

Tang Ye shook his head: "Forgetting is normal, just say it again."

"So you never forget to call your teammates?"

"..."

Tang Ye fell silent.

Realizing she had said something inappropriate, Zhou quickly changed the subject: "It's okay, it's okay. Next time I'll put the sunscreen in the middle of the glass door, so you can see it when you go out. Remember to apply it, especially your neck, it's easy to get sunburned there."

"We'll see. I'll do it if I think of something."

Tang Ye stood up to go to yoga for a massage, when Zhou Ye asked him a question: "Everyone online is asking when you're going back? Have you made any plans?"

"Um……"

Tang Ye sat back down: "I've been on the phone with them the whole time, I'll be leaving around next week."

Tang Ye already had a plan regarding when to return, how long to train before participating in the competition.

However, since things are not yet fully confirmed, we did not choose to share the news with the fans.

"Wow"

Zhou Ye placed his hand on Tang Ye's thigh and gently squeezed it a few times: "Your fans will be ecstatic when they find out. I see Manchester United is currently in second place, but it seems like they're about to drop to third."

"It's only been a few rounds, so the gap between the top teams isn't that big yet."

Tang Ye explained the points leaderboard to Zhou Ye from a professional perspective.

In the early stages, all you need to do is stay in the lead, because based on experience, maintaining a winning streak in the middle of the season is the key to winning the league championship!
"Um……"

Zhou nodded: "I watch football now too. I watch one or two games almost every week, and I feel you're much better than those people on TV."

"Ha ha"

Zhou Ye's words amused Tang Ye: "The impact would be stronger if you saw it in real life. If you saw me on TV, the feeling would be about the same."

"No, no, your movements are much smoother, aren't they?"

Zhou Ye's eyes lit up: "I really want to see your first match after you go back."

"Ha ha"

Tang Ye raised his hands to stretch his muscles and took a deep breath.

“Me too.”

……

The Times front page headline in bold: TY attended the Los Angeles Lakers' victory celebration and headed to the airport the next day to board his flight to Manchester.

coming!

Football reporters staked out various airports in Minnesota and California, but The Times ultimately beat them to the punch, being the first to report Tang Ye's departure from the United States.

Repost: A reporter photographed Tang Ye waiting for his flight at Los Angeles Airport, accompanied by his girlfriend and club staff.

The newspaper didn't just talk the talk; in addition to the news, The Times also published many photos of Tang Ye.

"TY followed closely behind airport staff, walking briskly, and appeared to be recovering very well. Based on the flight's landing time, he should arrive in Manchester on October 2nd, London time."

[Everyone stand up!!!]

Liverpool: We're done for, they're coming for me.

【Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha】

I've never laughed so arrogantly before, but this time I have to be.

[Does anyone know how to contact the captain of this flight? Could you please ask him to speed up, saying it's a request from Manchester United fans?]

Ten Hag had previously mentioned in interviews that Tang Ye might return to the team soon, and The Times confirmed this.

All signs indicate that Tang Ye is not far from returning to the Premier League.

After the July valuation update, the combined value of Manchester United's three midfielders reached 400 million euros, generating much anticipation among fans.

Due to Tang Ye's injury, Premier League fans have not yet seen Manchester United's formidable midfield trio at full strength this season.

but!

Fans now have a premonition, a very strong premonition.

They're about to see what they want to see!

……

Manchester United official statement: Tang Ye has returned to the team and will officially begin training on October 4.

The announcement explained Tang Ye's return to the team, and included a photo of Tang Ye arriving at the Carrington base wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

That man is coming!

The Manchester Evening News' front-page headline reads: TY has officially returned to training and is expected to make his official comeback within three weeks.

Manchester United are currently second in the Premier League, but their overall performance is slightly weaker than Liverpool's.

According to the reporter, a balance has been reached between Manchester United and Liverpool so far this season, with Liverpool in first place and Manchester United in second.

However, Tang Ye's return may disrupt this balance.

Whether Manchester United fans are excited or not is unknown, but Liverpool fans are probably under a lot of pressure right now.

Haha, Tom

In the Manchester United gym, Rodri walked over to Tang Ye and gave him a big hug. "It feels like so long ago."

Rodri put his hand on Tang Ye's shoulder, and the two walked into the gym together.

"Actually, it wasn't long, only a little over three months."

Back at the base, Tang Ye appeared very relaxed.

He has already spent two full seasons at Carrington, and the place now even gives him a sense of security.

Familiar places are places where you feel safe.

Regardless of what others think, that's how it is for Tang Ye.

Three months isn't a long time, but it felt like a very long time.

Rashford got off the treadmill and high-fived Tang Ye: "That freckled kid from Mettler Elementary School told me he really wants to meet you."

He also asked me to bring you some things, saying they would help your fracture heal faster.

"what?"

Tang Ye knew who the freckled child Rashford was talking about was; he was the recipient of the Tom and Jerry duo's donations—a local orphan in Manchester.

"I don't know either. It seems to be a small postcard that I left at home; I didn't bring it with me."

"Oh, then why didn't you bring it with you?"

Tang Ye shrugged, then lightly punched Master La's arm, looking somewhat reproachful.

"Haha, I'll bring it to you tomorrow, I'll bring it to you tomorrow!"

Rashford shrugged, opened his arms and hugged Tang Ye, patting Tang Ye's back as he said, "Welcome back, Tom!"

"Ha ha!"

There weren't many people in the gym, but Rodri quickly helped to call over the other teammates.

"Tom!"

Ashley Young roared and slammed his chest into Tang Ye again.

boom!
Ashley Young slapped Tang Ye's arm hard, clearly excited: "Manchester United is incomplete without you!"

"Ha ha!"

De Ligt and Wan-Bissaka also came over and gave Tang Ye a high-five and a hug.

These two new Manchester United signings were not familiar with Tang Ye, and didn't even have his contact information.

But if the team's senior player returns from injury, it would be really inconsiderate not to go up and greet him.

You're taller than I expected.

De Ligt laughed.

"But I'm not as tall as you, haha, I feel like you're about 1.9 meters tall."

Tang Ye compared his height to De Ligt's: "Welcome to Manchester United, Matisse."

"Well, I've been here for over two months now."

"Ha ha!"

Besides the players, Manchester United's coaching staff were also present. When Tang Ye greeted his teammates, Ten Hag stood by and watched.

Objectively speaking, it's just a starting player returning to the team, but for some reason, Tang Ye's return makes Ten Hag feel relaxed.

Unsurprisingly, this is the highest level of fighting spirit within Manchester United since the start of the 19-20 season.

It feels like everyone is ready!
Yes, of course, it should still be a few weeks before Tang Ye officially returns to the competition.

"Ottoman!"

Just as Ten Hag was deep in thought, Tang Ye met Dembele.

"Ha ha"

"Damn, Osman, I really didn't expect to see you in Carrington."

Tang Ye and Dembele now give the impression of old comrades who haven't seen each other for many years meeting again in new jobs.

And that is indeed the case in reality.

Tom and Osman were comrades-in-arms who fought side by side!
Damn it, Tang Ye was incredibly excited just thinking about training and playing with Dembele in the future.

It's so much more comfortable training with the team!
After the afternoon training session, Ten Hag gathered the players in the meeting room for a short, impromptu meeting.

"It's very clear that today is Manchester United's day."

Ten Hach pointed at Tang Ye: "I must solemnly announce Tom's return."

Wow!!!

"Tom!"

“GGBond~”

Screams erupted from the conference room. Ten Hag corrected Rodri, "It's not GGBond, it's Tom."

"Ha ha"

"OK OK"

Ten Hag gestured for the players to be quiet, and then, with Van der Gach's help, opened the PowerPoint presentation: "Our competition with Manchester City began the season before last, oh no, strictly speaking, since the 2016-17 season, 17-18, 18-19..."

The PowerPoint presentation showed a comparison of Manchester United and Manchester City's points totals for the last three seasons.

It's clear that Manchester United and Manchester City have had similar league results in recent years.

"But so far this season, Manchester City's performance has fallen somewhat short of my expectations."

"Teng Hah said."

Even without Tang Ye, Manchester United still managed to outmaneuver Manchester City, which is enough to show that Manchester City's form since the start of the season has been poor.

So what Ten Hag meant was that Manchester United players needed to focus their attention on Liverpool ahead of them.

Instead of Manchester City.

We should look to higher ground.

"I wasn't too strict with you guys when Tom wasn't around, because I know some things are hard to do when the starting lineup isn't complete."

"But the situation is different now."

"We were the Premier League champions last season, so we should be the Premier League champions this season as well. Liverpool are currently in first place in the Premier League... but that's only temporary, I can assure you of that, but only if you do what you're supposed to do."

……

Manchester United staff revealed that after Tang Ye returned to the team, an emergency meeting was held within the club, with the focus on the Premier League.

"Liverpool have been firmly at the top of the table since the second round of this season, which demonstrates the excellent form of Klopp's team."

"But I think Liverpool fans can no longer remain optimistic," the reporter said.

Pravda – If he can recover in time, TY is expected to play in Manchester United's Champions League group stage match against Borussia Dortmund. This will be Escriva's first encounter with TY since joining Dortmund.

Since Tang Ye officially returned to the team yesterday noon, football-related newspapers have been reporting on matters related to Manchester United.

Not only Manchester United fans were excited, but other neutral fans also reacted noticeably.

Football fans around the world have their eyes on Liverpool.

Just then, Manchester United released a long video on social media.

The video is 12 minutes long and contains all of Tang Ye's goals and assists for Manchester United starting in 2017.
