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

Chapter 580 GGBond is not a demonic cultivator, so his overall rating exceeds 90.
Having made his choice, Tang Ye felt his skull open again, and a warm current descended from the sky, entering his body through his skull.

hiss!
It was a little itchy, which made Tang Ye twitch involuntarily.

Tang Ye always had this feeling whenever he received a template, but without a doubt, this time the feeling was the strongest.

Because he is about to receive an infusion of the power of nearly 10 legendary templates!

[Set piece: 84→90]

It's okay!
Among the many attributes, Tang Ye ultimately chose the set piece.

From a cost-effectiveness perspective, a defense rating of 77 is undoubtedly the most suitable, but Tang Ye has his own considerations.

While defense is very important in top-level competitions, GGBond is an attacking midfielder, not a defensive midfielder, so he should choose either a shot or a set piece.

At this point, practicality becomes important.

Based on his past match data, Tang Ye will have about 3 to 6 shots per game. As for set pieces (free kicks and corner kicks)... if he chooses to take corner kicks, Tang Ye will get at least 5 set piece opportunities per game. If he is lucky, taking 10 set pieces is not a problem.

The logic is clear: set pieces are a more suitable option for GGBond, who plays as an attacking midfielder!

From 84 to 90, Tang Ye's set-piece attributes achieved a leap at this point.

Let's see the improvement!
Tang Ye (41 years old)
[Ball possession: 90; Passing: 94]

[Shots: 82; Headers: 62; Set Pieces: 90 (Enhanced Version)]

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

[Defense: 77; Vision: 99]

Overall rating: 90 (In progress)

The overall score has finally broken through 90.

Tang Ye thought about it carefully and realized that his set-piece stats had an "infused version" after them, which meant that he needed some time to adapt to the improved attributes.

Once Tang Ye fully adapts to the attributes in one to two months, his overall score should improve further, from 90 to 91.

If 90 is a minor god, then 91 is an absolute god!

……

"Wow, Tom!"

Tang Ye returned to the base with the trophy and was quickly greeted by his teammates.

"Ha ha"

Tang Ye handed the trophy to Ashley Young, who examined it carefully.

"To be honest, I've never touched the Golden Globe trophy before, and it feels lighter than I expected."

Haha, I think so too.

Tang Ye and Ashley Young high-fived, with the former Manchester United captain wanting to win another trophy, but Mata quickly snatched it away.

It's a new experience because for most Manchester United players, this is their first time touching the Ballon d'Or trophy.

The FIFA Ballon d'Or is the award representing the best football player of 2019!
“Jesus… (Oh my God)”

The trophy somehow ended up in Van der Gahr's hands, and the Manchester United assistant coach's eyes were practically sparkling.

then……

“Hey, Mr. Michel!”

Tang Ye waved his hand, and the Manchester United players gathered together.

Does Van der Gach look like he's about to cry?
"Hey, Mr. Michel, isn't that a bit unnecessary?"

Tang Ye waved his hand again, signaling Van der Gach to calm down: "I told you guys a few days ago..."

Tang Ye did tell his teammates about winning the award in advance, but learning that Tang Ye won the Ballon d'Or and him bringing the Ballon d'Or trophy back to the base are two completely different things.

"shit..."

"Feel sorry"

Van der Gach felt this deeply because just four years ago he was only a junior assistant coach at Utrecht in the Dutch Eredivisie.

What now?
Van der Gach, holding the trophy in his left hand and placing his right hand on Tang Ye's shoulder, said, "I'm now the coach of a damn Ballon d'Or winner."

"Well"

Tang Ye playfully punched Van der Gach: "Not just now, but in the future too, Mr. Michel."

"Tom"

Van der Gach hugged Tang Ye.

Ten Hach stood silently to the side, but seeing the interaction between Van der Gach and Tang Ye, he felt it was necessary for him to step forward as well.

I'm the head coach!
"very nice"

Ten Hah reached out and patted Tang Ye on the shoulder. He didn't ask Tang Ye for the trophy, but waited.

He wanted to wait for Tang Ye to hand him the trophy.

I thought GGBond wouldn't realize what was happening, but it turns out they were incredibly sensible.

Mr. Eric

Tang Ye handed the Ballon d'Or trophy to Ten Hag, who gave Tang Ye a deep hug before turning to face the other players with the trophy.

"This is Tom's first step, but I think it's a giant leap for Manchester United players."

Mr. Eric is about to give a speech!

The players quickly gathered around and kept quiet.

Although they didn't particularly like the coach's speeches, the players were still quite curious to know what Ten Hag would say.

"We are currently in a period of resurgence. We hadn't won the Ballon d'Or for the past 10 years... well, 11 years, and Tom achieved this breakthrough. The team's overall resurgence and the emergence of individual stars always go hand in hand, and this Ballon d'Or once again proves we are on the right track."

Clap clap clap clap!
"So I think anything is possible. More and more Manchester United stars are emerging, and what we need to pursue now is more victories and better titles."

A better champion means a champion with higher prestige.

What is a championship that is even more prestigious than the Premier League title?
That would be the Champions League title, Manchester United's ultimate goal this season.

"But I want to make it clear to you that we cannot completely abandon the Premier League in pursuit of the Champions League title."

Ten Hag took this opportunity to share his thoughts with the players: "Choosing between two titles is something only an unsuccessful team would do. For example, Liverpool had to choose between the Premier League title and the Champions League title, or Manchester United before their resurgence. Manchester United before their resurgence was in the same boat."

"But we are now on the road to success, and I can guarantee that, in terms of pure strength, no team in the entire Premier League is our match."

Pause.

"We don't make choices; making choices is something only the weak need to do."

"We want all the champions."

Clap clap clap!

Tang Ye and his teammates applauded together.

After listening to Teng Hah's words, Tang Ye grasped a few key points and fell into his own thoughts.

Mr. Eric remains as greedy as ever. Ever since Tang Ye met him during the Eredivisie era, Ten Hag has always seemed to want everything.

Very greedy, very greedy.

But this time Tang Ye really thought Ten Hach's words made a lot of sense.

He was determined to stand firmly on Mr. Eric's side.

After the speech, the players dispersed, and Dembele walked over to Tang Ye.

It seems that Dembele didn't come over to touch the trophy immediately because he wasn't on the shortlist.

Tang Ye noticed this and gave Dembele a very considerate hug.

Dembele held the trophy, carefully examining its appearance and the words written on it; it was clear that he was still very impressed.

"Ottoman, one day you will get it too."

Tang Ye placed his hand on Dembele's head.

touch.

"You have that talent"

……

The time has come to the day of the match between Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

Just two days ago, Tang Ye was officially announced as having won the Globe of Champions award, and today he's been added to the match roster.

Before the match began, Manchester United fans held a grand celebratory parade.

They were going to do two things at the same time during this march.

First and foremost, we celebrate Tang Ye's Golden Globe Award; that's the most important thing.

The second thing was to express dissatisfaction with the club's increase in ticket prices.

The Golden Globe Award!

The Golden Globe Award!

"Tom is number one in the world!"

Manchester United is the best in the world!

Bang bang bang!
Fans held their scarves above their heads, wearing Manchester United home jerseys from various eras.

The majority of the jerseys featured were those of Tang Ye and Cristiano Ronaldo, a fact agreed upon by Manchester United fans long ago.

Ronaldo and Tom, this is a Ballon d'Or passing of the torch in Manchester United's history!
The most powerful Manchester United striker and the most powerful Manchester United midfielder!
"Fuck Glazer!"

Just when things were going well, the Glazer family suddenly started getting criticized again, with fans holding up signs to express their dissatisfaction with the club's shareholders.

[If prices keep rising, people won't be able to afford to watch the games anymore; ticket prices are exceeding the average wage in England!]

The Glazer family is out!

The Ballon d'Or is not a reason for ticket price increases.

[The most disgusting shareholder in Manchester United's history!]

Because it was a parade held before the start of the match, a large number of fans participated, estimated to be at least 30,000 to 40,000, with almost all veteran fans participating in the parade.

Some people were simply chanting Tang Ye's name to express their excitement over their favorite player winning the Ballon d'Or.

But most fans aren't so good-natured; they'll take this opportunity to yell at the team owner.

"The Ballon d'Or is the Ballon d'Or, and tickets are tickets. The Ballon d'Or is not a reason for ticket prices to increase!"

Dozens of fans surrounded the reporter: "We paid to watch Manchester United, to watch Tom, not to watch Tom Glazer!"

Manchester United fans have accused the Glazer family of wrongdoing.

Manchester United's ticket prices have been rising since last season. Coupled with the club's good performance, almost every game was sold out, so Manchester United made a lot of money last season through the increased ticket prices.

Manchester United spent a whopping 2 million euros on signings this summer, which seems like a lot.

But fans aren't stupid; a careful calculation will show that Manchester United's extra transfer fees this season came from their Premier League title bonus and broadcasting revenue.

The Premier League champion's prize money plus broadcasting revenue share adds up to a whopping £1.3 million!
What about the extra revenue from raising ticket prices?
gone!
"The Glazers must come up with £100 million for signings by January, or we won't support raising ticket prices!" "Glazers out!"

"Grazer out!"

"Long live TY!"

"..."

……

The Sun reports that Manchester United players once again expressed their dissatisfaction with the Glazer family during a pre-match march, demanding that the club's money be used for player signings instead of going into the Glazers' pockets.

Reprint: Manchester United's starting lineup for the match against Tottenham Hotspur has been announced, with Tang Ye leading the team and displaying the Ballon d'Or trophy before the game.

The Golden Pig is here!

Damn, if I were in England, I would definitely go see it.

[Can I show off the Golden Globe trophy when I go back to China next year?]

[This is a good spot, you can see clearly (.jpg)]

Manchester United has truly revived; it feels like no team in the Premier League can beat them now.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Old Trafford to watch the Premier League match..."

"But before the match begins today, there is one more important thing we need to do."

"Wow!"

Before he could finish speaking, cheers erupted from the crowd.

"Welcome Tang Ye, winner of the 2019 FIFA Ballon d'Or!"

Wow!!!!

"Wowww!!!!"

clap clap clap!
The spotlight shone on the players' tunnel, and Tang Ye slowly walked out with the trophy.

More than 20 Manchester United players were ready, standing in two rows on the grass, giving their applause with all their might.

Tang Ye held the trophy in one hand and raised the other to greet the Manchester United fans in the stands.

This was the most glorious moment of Tang Ye's career, even more so than the Asian Cup final.

The Asian Cup final was the pinnacle of Tang Ye's team's awards, while this Ballon d'Or trophy represents the pinnacle of Tang Ye's individual honors.

You're not facing the Premier League Player of the Month, or the Premier League Player of the Season, but the 2019 World Player of the Year.

They walked to the middle of the meadow and embraced each other.

"Tom! Tom!"

He comes from the east, with fire at his feet!

"The dragon's roar echoes in the Stretford End heat!"

"Ohh, Tang Ye! Wins the Ballor d'Or!"

Wow!!!

Tang Ye held the Golden Globe trophy high with both hands, his eyes slightly red.

As it turned out, he was right not to accept Dortmund's offer.

……

Good evening, viewers of China Media Group!

"This is a live broadcast for you..."

The match has started, and the commentators have introduced the starting lineups for both teams.

As for Manchester United, needless to say, Tang Ye, who just won the Ballon d'Or, started the game.

Then it's Tottenham's turn.

Tottenham Hotspur (4-2-3-1)
Goalkeeper: Gazzaniga

Defenders: Vertonghen, Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez, Aurier

Midfielders: Winks, Alli, Moussa Sissoko

Forwards: Son Heung-min, Harry Kane, Lucas Moura
Head Coach: Mourinho
José Mourinho!

This coach had previously been linked with Manchester United, but United ultimately chose Eredivisie champions Erik ten Hag.

Manchester United fans won't discuss who is better at coaching, Ten Hag or Mourinho; they will definitely side with Ten Hag.

Regardless of Ten Hag's tactical abilities, he undeniably brought Manchester United the Ballon d'Or.

What good is Mourinho's high winning percentage when he manages Tottenham?

Absolute tactical ability is important, but it's a thing of the past.

It's 2019 now, and the 1+1 coaching model is popular in the football world.

A summoner (coach) is bound to a summon (player). At the start of the match, the summoner simply takes out their personal summon.

Without Tom by your side, you can't become the world's best coach!
The match has reached the 25th minute of the first half.

The score was still 0-0.

Although he didn't have any special players, Mourinho's tactical ability was still quite good. He directly set up a five-man defense, which resulted in Manchester United barely managing to get any shots on goal for a long time.

After more than 20 minutes of play, Mourinho's tactics successfully frustrated the Manchester United players.

Tang Ye turned around and used his chest to stop De Jong's pass.

Turn back again!

Before the ball even hit the ground, Tang Ye delivered a powerful volley pass.

Snapped!
The ball flew out quickly, and because of its unique spin, it didn't bounce back after hitting the ground.

Possession to Dembele!
Wow!!!

Manchester United's right winger launched an attack on Tottenham's defense.

There were many defenders, but Dembele handled the situation relatively calmly.

Okay, actually it was just a matter of stopping the ball and calming down. As soon as he got the ball, Dembele charged straight towards the byline, catching Vertonghen off guard.

Hurry up and catch up!
Dembele was very fast, and he and Vertonghen were locked in a stalemate.

Move the ball to the left.

Move right!
With four consecutive changes of direction and a shift in rhythm, Dembele cut inside and finished off the defender one-on-one.

"Another one who can dribble past an opponent!"

"Haha, Dembele has really been activated!"

"Yes, we said that if the awards ceremony had been held two months later, Dembele would have been a likely candidate."

The French winger is reminiscent of his Dortmund days.

Snapped!
He delivered a pass with his left foot, lobbing it to the left wing.

Tang Ye has the ball.

Tang Ye had already moved to the left wing when Dembele went down the byline, while Rodri is now guarding the central position.

GGBond's chance!
Facing defenders Sissoko and Aurier, Tang Ye dribbled closer with the outside of his foot.

Both are left- or right-footed players, and Tang Ye's movements are very similar to Dembele's.

However, one difference is that Tang Ye has a better sense of rhythm than Dembele.

Swish!

Tang Ye threw the fried meatballs out, briefly getting rid of Aurier, and then quickly changed direction to walk towards the baseline.

Bottom!

O'Neal blocked Tang Ye's body, not wanting the opponent to pass the ball easily.

But Aurier didn't expect that Tang Ye would push him away.

We've reached near the baseline!

Martial is in position in the six-yard box!
Snapped!
With a left-footed shot, Tang Ye unleashed a shot from an extremely tight angle.

Snapped!
Gazzaniga pushed the ball off the crossbar!

"Depend on!!"

Tang Ye grabbed his head with both hands and roared.

Such a good shooting angle, the goalkeeper completely missed!
This was Manchester United's best shooting opportunity so far in the match, but unfortunately Tottenham had just been too lucky.

"call……"

With his hands on his waist, Tang Ye was somewhat unwilling.

Because in his view, he couldn't have saved his shot just now.

Manchester United have a corner kick opportunity!
Tang Ye and De Jong discussed it in hushed tones, and in the end, they decided to let De Jong handle the ball.

Snapped!
The corner kick is given to the near post!

Dembele received the ball, flicked it with his heel, and passed it to Wan-Bissaka behind him.

"Wow!"

That was a very imaginative pass!
Wan-Pysacca!

"Come here!"

Tang Ye directed his teammates, and Wan-Bissaka quickly moved closer.

At this moment, Tang Ye also made his move, taking the initiative to run over and support, and when he was almost in position, he made a cross-run with Wan-Bissaka.

The defenders were unsure who to mark, and Wan-Bissaka launched a through ball.

Tang Ye!

Snapped!
He delivered a cross with his right foot, which struck Martial precisely.

!!!

Control the ball with your body, then pass it to your right foot!

Swing your right leg up!

With a feint using his right foot, Martial successfully shook off the defense.

Then pass the right foot to the left foot.

Give it back with your left foot!

Snapped!
Martial's shot was saved.

The ball went in!
