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

第564章 45度传中lv6！2019金球奖30人候选名单

"Wow!!"

boom!
As they entered the locker room, the Manchester United players began their passionate celebration.

"4:2!"

"4:2!"

Tang Ye was extremely excited and slammed his fist on the tactical board.

boom!
"Holy crap!"

Tang Ye crouched down and covered his hand; his right hand was numb.

"Hey, are you alright? Are you alright?"

Rhodes quickly came over, and after finding that Tang Ye's hand was unharmed, he started laughing again: "Haha, stay calm, Captain Tom."

"No, stop laughing, Rhodes, it was just a mistake."

Tang Ye gritted his teeth and forced himself to endure the pain.

Rashford called out, signaling to the staff to get ice packs.

Tang Ye's hand looks fine now, but it might cause problems later.

Gritting his teeth, Tang Ye shook his hand, then placed his other hand on Dembele's shoulder.

Ousmane Dembélé scored half of the team's goals in this match, making him the undisputed hero of Manchester United!
"Osman, I'll take you to get the MVP trophy later, and I'll tell you what the Premier League process is like."

Just as Tang Ye finished speaking, a staff member outside announced, "Best player number 10, you can come out if you're ready."

"..."

Tang Ye's lips twitched, and he spread his hands towards the staff: "Why not number 7?"

"……this"

The staff member took a step back, somewhat bewildered by the question: "I'm just an employee, paid 20 pounds an hour, I don't participate in voting..."

"Oh, no."

Tang Ye put his hand on his head: "Alright then, Osman, next time it's yours. Give it to me this time, it just so happens I haven't won MVP this season yet."

Dembele and Tang Ye clapped.

Today's match was Dembele's best performance since joining Manchester United, but despite that, the MVP award still didn't go to him.

"Used to it"

Ashley Young whispered.

"That's how it was at Manchester United, the last time I won MVP..."

Ashley Young looked up at the ceiling, lost in thought: "Well, it's not last season anyway; I haven't won one in at least a year."

"Rodri, when was the last time you won MVP?"

"Just the last round?"

Rodri answered quickly.

"No, no, it doesn't include the games where Tom wasn't there."

"That is……"

"It shouldn't be too far off. I won a few last season."

Rodri laughed heartily.

No matter what, he's a midfielder worth over 100 million yuan.

If you can't even snatch an MVP from a master, how can you become a 100 million euro midfielder?
As for Dembele...

The French striker has just arrived at Manchester United, and he still needs a long time to adapt.

……

Click, click, click!

Welcome back, Tom.

Tang Ye returned to Sky Sports' cameras, still holding the MVP trophy, only a new version.

"My original draft was to ask you how your recovery was going, but now it seems that this question is unnecessary."

"Well, why?"

"..."

The reporter's lips twitched: "What I mean is, you played exceptionally well in this match. Anyway, let's not talk about that. Playing Liverpool in your first game back in the Premier League—was that the coaching staff's idea, or your own?"

"Yes, I think so. I've spoken with the coach, and I'm ready. I played well in training the past few days, so starting is definitely not a problem."

Have you considered making your season opener in the next game to avoid Liverpool?

The reporter's words were immediately met with Tang Ye's objection: "Oh, that won't do. Because I've also been watching the Premier League standings. Before the match, Manchester United was second and Liverpool was first, so this match is very important. If I can play, I must play."

"I've played in the Manchester derby many times, so I have a lot of experience."

Tang Ye was somewhat smug.

Yes, we can see that you are now the captain of Manchester United.

"haha, thank you!"

Having not played a match for several months, Tang Ye was asked a lot of questions by reporters after the Reds-Black meeting today, including about the summer transfer window.

When asked if Tang Ye had played a role in Dembele's transfer, Tang Ye's answer was somewhat ambiguous, as he did not directly suggest Dembele join Manchester United during the call.

Then there's the matter of the captain's armband.

"Can you feel a sense of responsibility now? I mean a sense of responsibility towards the team?"

"certainly"

Tang Ye replied quickly: "I will win the championship with my teammates."

……

Interview with Tang Ye: Feeling a sense of responsibility because of the captain's armband, Manchester United's goal this season remains the Premier League title, while also aiming for the Champions League. Last season was a very disappointing one for Manchester United; they should have had a chance to win the Champions League.

Dembele: Tang Ye's return has given us more confidence. Before the game, we believed we could beat Liverpool. Tang Ye's training performance has been excellent, so the coach started him.

Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports betting platform) is buzzing with discussion: What do you think? Tang Ye's return to Manchester United in his first match saw them surge to the top of the Premier League. Could the 19-20 season be Manchester United's most successful season in the last 10 years?
Attached is the 2019-2020 Premier League standings (as of the end of Round 9):

1. Manchester United, 25 points.

2. Liverpool, 24 points.

3. Manchester City, 22 points.

4. Chelsea, 21 points.

5. Wolves, 18 points.

[That went really smoothly! The guys were in first place in round 9, they'll definitely win the championship five rounds early!]

You look down on Liverpool, don't you?

To be honest, I feel Manchester City is really bad this season, even worse than Chelsea.

Brothers, I'm from a year in the future. Manchester United are the Premier League champions this season.

I feel the Champions League is the main factor; there's a difference between England being the strongest and being the strongest in the world.

Manchester United have had a very successful season, and that's certainly true.

Manchester United's ability to simultaneously suppress both Liverpool and Manchester City by the end of the 9th round, while keeping all their starting players healthy, can only be described as having had an exceptionally smooth run.

“Glory glory Man United~”

“Glory glory Man United~”

On the way back, the players sang in the team bus.

"Premier League champions!"

Ashley Young shouted.

"And the Champions League title!"

Tang Ye added, "We were the Premier League champions last season, Yang. If we're just going to be Premier League champions again, then we haven't made any progress."

"I haven't finished yet, I'm about to say the Champions League winner."

"You shut your mouth after you said 'Premier League title,' and I was watching you."

"Ha ha!"

Ashley Young's subtle movements did not escape Tang Ye's keen eyes.

"Captain Tom, where shall we celebrate tonight?"

In front, Rashford was slumped over the back of his seat.

"Please, don't call me captain..."

Tang Ye wasn't quite used to his new title, but then, with Rashford's prompting, he noticed the captain's armband on his left arm.

After the match, Tang Ye took off his jacket and forgot to remove his armband.

"Oh, my question."

With Rashford's help, Tang Ye removed the armband: "So where are we going tonight?"

"You're the captain, you speak."

"This……"

Tang Ye placed his hand on his chin and pondered for a long time.

"How to say?"

"I can't think of it..."

……

An hour and a half after the match ended, Manchester United released a poster for the Merseyside derby on their official Twitter and Bilibili accounts. This time, it wasn't an entertainment poster, but a celebratory one.

In the photo, Tang Ye looks up at the stands, where fans are holding up banners that read "Long Live TY".

Caption: Master, you have returned.

Match Preview: On October 24th, in the third round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester United will play away against Borussia Dortmund, with Ten Hag facing off against Eskriwa.

"Manchester United have won both of their Champions League matches this season, and the game against Dortmund will be crucial in their fight for first place in the group."

A reporter from 442 published an article.

The article points out that Manchester United has both league and Champions League commitments this season. Given this situation, Manchester United must finish first in their group, as a good group will give them an advantage in the Champions League knockout stage.

……

"hurry up!"

Tang Ye urged him on.

When Dembele ran over, Tang Ye passed the ball to him.

Dembele!
Snapped!
He took a shot towards the near post, but it was saved by goalkeeper Romero.

"Ha ha"

Tang Ye shrugged at Dembele: "Your ball speed is too slow."

"I can't help it, the ball's speed makes it inaccurate."

Dembele was also helpless.

Adjusting your body, ball speed, and angle—it's very difficult to do all these things together.

"It's okay if you miss a shot during training; you'll get used to it."

Tang Ye offered advice to Dembele.

Osman is incredibly skilled at dribbling, but you have to keep up with his shots.

If Dembele's shooting problem isn't decisively resolved, then his potential is essentially fixed.

Take your time.

Van der Gach said, "You can be bolder during training."

Tang Ye and his teammates clapped.

"..."

Snapped!
[De Bruyne's 45-degree cross lv5: Replica (Beyond Form)]

Proficiency: 3467/3500
Snapped!
……

Proficiency: 3492/3500
With the upgrade imminent, Tang Ye, true to his character, wouldn't let his proficiency level get stuck. He decisively signaled to his teammates to continue with 45-degree crosses.

"Oh, okay"

De Ligt didn't understand anything, he just thought Tang Ye's pass was very accurate.

Snapped!
[De Bruyne's 45-degree cross lv5: Replica (Beyond Form)]

Proficiency: 3498/3500
Proficiency: 3501/3500
[De Bruyne's 45-degree cross lv5: Replica → De Bruyne's 45-degree cross lv6: Unashamed to ask questions]

Proficiency: 0/0
finally come!

A top-level 45-degree cross!
Tang Ye stood on the grass, waiting for the system's voice.

[Passes: 93 → 94]

really!

Just like in a game, upgrading from level 4 to level 5 gives a lot of experience points, so upgrading from level 5 to level 6 will naturally give even more experience points, perhaps even more than a single legendary template.

This amount of experience is enough for Tang Ye to complete his breakthrough!

Tang Ye (41 years old)
[Ball possession: 90; Passing: 94]

[Shots: 82; Headers: 62; Set pieces: 83]

Speed: 79; Endurance: 80; Physical Strength: 86

[Defense: 77; Vision: 99]

Overall rating: 89
Putting aside openings, GGBond can now be described as an absolute pentagonal tactic.

It's so strong it's unbelievable!

Take another look at your current growth template.

[De Bruyne's 45-degree cross, level 6: Not ashamed to ask questions]

Proficiency: 0
[Your unparalleled 45-degree cross template is the reward for your continuous hard work. Remember your roots; if De Bruyne were to ask you to be his student, please be kind enough to accept him, even if his understanding might not be sufficient for the role.]

When you drink water, remember its source!

Tang Ye certainly knew this.

Actually, without the system saying much, if someone really wanted to become his apprentice, Tang Ye would be very willing to take on a disciple.

"I come!"

"Get in!"

Tang Ye stopped the ball by stepping on it.

Tang Ye gestured to his teammates to enter the penalty area from the middle, and they prepared to move in.

Snapped!
A 45-degree angled pass!
The ball hits a spot slightly outside the top of the arc.

Because of its high speed, it rushed into the penalty area after rebounding.

He managed to slip between the two defenders.

?

De Ligt makes a forward run!
Take a few steps forward, then bend your head slightly.

boom!
He headed the ball out, easily scoring the goal.

"Oh, shit!"

Rodri, who was resting on the sidelines, held his head and then looked at Rashford next to him.

Rashford exhaled softly.

"He is invincible..."

"No, I know he's a good passer, but this was just luck."

Rodri acknowledges that you can control the angle of the pass; after all, a master is a master.

But if you can control the angle of the ball after it bounces, then Rod doesn't believe it.

That's not how you play football!

……

Marca: In an interview, Escriva said that Dortmund is ready to deal with Manchester United.

Although it was a Champions League group stage match, the Manchester United vs. Dortmund game had so many elements that it generated even more buzz than a typical Champions League knockout match.

One day before the match, the entire Dortmund team arrived in Manchester by plane.

That afternoon, Dortmund players were shopping on the streets of Manchester.

The Sun – Dortmund players shopped in Manchester, with Eskeriva buying a TY "GG Bond" plush toy, the number one selling plush toy in the northwest of England.

It can only be said that Eskeriva is still too abstract in some aspects.

Of course, it's perfectly normal to buy something interesting if you see it in a store, and fans won't laugh at him for it.

Just as Dortmund players were shopping on the streets of Manchester, a bombshell news finally broke.

The news comes from France Football.
