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

Chapter 612 Tang Ye's locker room speech, passing attribute 95!

The Professional Footballers' Association (PFA) has nominated the Premier League Player of the Month for June:
1. Rodri, Manchester United.

2. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool.

3. Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool.

4. Tang Ye, Manchester United.

5. McAllister, Brighton.

Manchester Evening Post column: Can they clinch the title early? After 31 rounds, Manchester United lead Liverpool by 6 points, having lost only 1 of their 46 games this season.

Attached is the 2019-2020 Premier League standings (as of the end of Round 31):

1. Manchester United, 84 points.

2. Liverpool, 78 points.

3. Manchester City, 67 points.

4. Chelsea, 57 points.

5. Tottenham Hotspur, 52 points.

After the restart, they immediately achieved three consecutive victories. These three wins not only helped Manchester United advance to the FA Cup semi-finals, but also temporarily widened the gap between them and Liverpool.

As league leaders, Manchester United and Liverpool are now 6 points apart!
Absolutely incredible!
Reprinted from Tang Ye's interview: We still need to remain humble, because we have many more games to play in July.

[Tang, the King of Football, keeps a low profile!]

[Chinese people are still too low-key. I felt that the reporters in the audience were stunned after hearing Tang Ye's words. However, GGBond seemed to be quite careful during the interview.]

[Teng Hah: No need to say more, I personally trained Don.]

I feel like we can pop the champagne now; how can Liverpool possibly catch up when they're 6 points behind?

[Don't celebrate! Calm down, guys. There are a lot of matches in July. If it explodes, it's all over. You have to be a little pessimistic when watching football.]

Tang Ye is still too low-key.

However, this is just a low profile in front of the camera.

"Ha ha!"

boom!
Tang Ye and Dembele burst through the locker room door: "Semi-finals, brothers!"

He held up two fingers, showing that Tang Ye was in a good mood.

The situation in the Premier League is still uncertain, but Manchester United only needs to win two more games in the FA Cup to clinch the title!
"Hey, stay humble!"

De Ligt pointed out that these were Tang Ye's exact words during the interview just now.

"What's with the modesty? How can Liverpool compete when we're leading by 6 points?"

Tang Ye shrugged and sat down in his seat: "We'd have to lose at least two games to be overtaken, so how can we lose?"

"Ha ha!"

Lingard and De Jong burst into laughter: "You should go back and tell the reporters again that you lied just now."

"No, I'll get yelled at if I say it directly."

Tang Ye is now the team leader, and his rationality tells him that he can't show off in front of reporters, or he'll be severely criticized.

But it's okay to show off in front of your teammates, it's no big deal!

Get ready to celebrate!

Tang Ye and Rodri exchanged fist bumps, and the players in the room were in high spirits.

July is almost here, and according to Tang Ye's estimate, Manchester United could announce their title win in just half a month at most.

"The Premier League! First the Premier League, then the FA Cup!"

dong dong!

Tang Ye tapped the tactics board; at this moment, he no longer looked like the captain, but a seasoned coach.

He is a tactical mastermind and also a senior consultant for the team.

“We need to take it one step at a time; there's a specific order to things. Some championships come faster, but others take longer. I put the FA Cup after the league because I know we'll clinch the Premier League title early.”

"Wow!"

Tang Ye's words drew shouts from his teammates.

"Hey, calm down, Osman, sit down, sit down!"

Students should not interrupt when the teacher is speaking!
"Sir!"

Ottoman saluted Tang Ye and then sat down in his seat.

"Um"

Tang Ye nodded slightly, very satisfied with Dembele's performance.

"We'll win the Premier League title early, as many rounds as possible, we're going to win it anyway. Then the FA Cup... and then the Champions League!"

When the Champions League was mentioned, Tang Ye's voice suddenly rose a notch, almost startling Van der Gach standing next to him.

Tang Ye was like a teacher, explaining the importance of the college entrance examination to the students in the audience.

The students in the audience certainly knew how important the college entrance examination was, but Tang Ye still had to say it.

"We will win the Champions League this season, and everyone ahead of us will be pushed aside."

Although Tang Ye's speech lacked the authority of Ten Hag, it still had a similar effect on inspiring the players.

The Manchester United players stood up one after another and very consciously formed a circle around Tang Ye, with De Jong even pulling Ten Hag and Van der Gaghe in.

Instead of the previous method of putting their hands together when calling out to each other, this time the players chose to put their hands on Tang Ye.

Nearly 20 people were involved, and Tang Ye's neck and head area were completely covered.

"call……"

"Come on Manchester United!!!"

……

欧足联官方：欧冠恢复时间确定为8月8日（未完成的1/8决赛），决赛时间8月24日，1/4决赛、半决赛、决赛全为单回合决胜制。

News about the Champions League has finally arrived, scheduled to take place after the top five European leagues conclude.

This timing is quite reasonable, because if it were scheduled for July, those Premier League teams in the knockout stage would definitely jump out and criticize us.

If it's scheduled for August, that's fine; we'll just have to shorten the match schedule for next season.

The timing of this competition is a bit strange, starting on August 8th and ending on August 24th, which directly compresses the rest time to the extreme.

In addition to the announcement of the Champions League schedule, the top five European leagues have also confirmed the opening dates for their respective summer transfer windows.

英超是7月27日，相较往常大概推迟1个月，关闭时间暂时是10月1日。

As for when it will close, the FA itself doesn't know, but the entire summer transfer window will definitely last no less than two months.

The Sun's front-page headline – According to estimates from Manchester United's finance department, the club expects to lose at least £1 million directly due to the pandemic.

……

"Can we win the Champions League? I'm not asking for the FA Cup, but we must win the Premier League and the Champions League."

The club is facing huge losses, and Manchester United's shareholders are getting anxious.

Even someone as powerful as Ten Hach now faces the formidable challenge of pressure from his superiors.

Joel Glazer sat opposite him. Ten Hag struggled to control his breathing and maintain a serious demeanor in front of the players, but he had to adopt a more subtle expression in front of the shareholders.

You can't be too arrogant, but you can't be too timid either.

"Sir, all teams are experiencing this now; it's an uncontrollable factor. Actually, our losses are already relatively small."

To appease Joel Glazer, Ten Hag specifically requested Manchester City's financial information from the Treasury Department and compared Manchester City's financial situation with Manchester United's.

Manchester City are expected to lose £8000 million, bringing their season losses to around £2 million.

From this perspective, Manchester United's situation is relatively good, as they are expected to lose £1 million, with a total season loss of only £1.5 million!

"To put it in perspective, we earned £5000 million more than Manchester City."

"..."

Joel Glazer stared at Ten Hach with a "what are you talking about?" look on his face.

No, this...

Joel felt there was something very wrong, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out where to begin.

"I will definitely do my best, and the players will do their best too. As you've seen, many people believe we can win the Premier League title early."

"What about the Champions League?"

Joel asked, "They say we're cursed? We always get upset when we try to win the Champions League?"

"No, no, no, that's all fake. Such a thing couldn't possibly exist."

Ten Hag quickly shook his head: "That's other teams' fans seeking comfort. Actually, we don't need to worry too much because there are very few teams that pose a threat to us."

With his arms slightly outstretched, Ten Hah exuded confidence.

"Currently, only a very few teams are free of COVID-19 cases, and Manchester United is one of them."

[De Bruyne's curved through ball lv5: Replica → lv6: Unashamed to ask questions]

Proficiency: 0
[Passes: 94 → 95]

[Vision Range: 99 → 99]

The familiar upgrade notification sound rang out again, and Tang Ye's expression gradually became excited.

His third level 6 skill is here!
Moreover, it's a curved through ball, which is one of Tang Ye's most important abilities.

Similarly, not only the third level 6 skill, but also the breakthrough of [Curved Through Pass] gave Tang Ye a second attribute with a value of 95.

95 passes!

Tang Ye
[Ball possession: 90; Passing: 95]

[Shots: 84; Headers: 62; Set pieces: 90]

Speed: 80; Endurance: 80; Physical Strength: 87

[Defense: 77; Vision: 99]

Overall rating: 92
His overall score has recovered to 92. We'll wait until Tang Ye fully recovers from COVID-19 and regains his lost stamina and combat attributes.

At that time, Tang Ye's overall rating will reach an astonishing 93!

He clenched his fist and looked at his teammates on the training field.

Tang Ye has a feeling now.

It's like we're invincible! If anyone still wants to stand against Manchester United, then Tang Ye can only apologize to them.

Snapped!
Tang Ye and Rodri clapped their hands: "Rodri, watch closely, I'm going to teach you something new, you can use it during the match."

Dembele's technique of lifting his foot to receive a through pass was taught by Tang Ye; it's a very impressive technique.

However, Tang Ye was not biased. After teaching Osman, he would also teach some midfield techniques to his younger brother Rod.

Manchester United will face a huge challenge in July, and the players must give their all to their teammates.

Hug each other, and become the strongest!
……

"Manchester United!"

"De Jong! Beautiful!"

"Goal! De Jong!"

"Bournemouth is currently at a significant disadvantage against Manchester United."

"..."

The Premier League officially announced that Manchester United striker Ousmane Dembélé has been named the Player of the Month for June (after the restart of the season), marking his first time receiving the award.

Dembele broke Tang Ye's monopoly on the Player of the Month award.

Bad news: Tang Ye has been killed.

Good news: We're on the same side.

Dembele deserved the Player of the Month award for June, his first time receiving it. However, it's regrettable that this will likely be his last this season.

boom!
"Tang Ye! A direct goal from a free kick!"

"3-1! Manchester United beat Aston Villa 3-1 away from home!"

"Wow, three games in ten days, but we can see that Manchester United players still show very strong consistency!"

The players quickly moved to the area below the stands. Tang Ye located the on-site camera, and Dembele cut in from the side.

"Barvo! (Beautiful!)"

"Ha ha!"

With his hands raised, Tang Ye saw only a few stadium staff members in the stands in front of him.

They appeared calmer than usual, but Manchester United's passion for the game remained undiminished.

Because the Manchester United players know they are on the path to winning the title!

……

Manchester Evening News front-page headline: De Jong injured, Manchester United beat Southampton 1-0 at home, securing their sixth consecutive league win since the restart and widening the gap with Liverpool to eight points.

Attached is the 2019-2020 Premier League standings (as of the end of Round 35):

1. Manchester United, 95 points.

2. Liverpool, 87 points.

3. Manchester City, 73 points.

4. Chelsea, 62 points.

5. Leicester City, 53 points.

To reiterate, although Liverpool has a high win rate, it won't matter how high Liverpool's win rate is if Manchester United can maintain a 100% win rate.

90% is always less than 100%!

The gap has widened from 6 points at the end of round 31 to 8 points at the end of round 35, and Manchester United has firmly grasped the initiative in the title race.

As regular Premier League fans know, a Premier League season consists of 38 rounds.

That means there are only 3 games left.

Popular discussion on Dongqiudi: Will Manchester United secure the title with two rounds to spare? They only need one more win to confirm their 2019-2020 Premier League championship.

[Tennhav: Don't bring up things that have already been ordered.]

[How come Dembele is on fire for one month and then gets rich every month? He didn't perform well in today's game.]

[Playing 4 matches in 14 days, how is Dembele supposed to compete?]

[Fun fact: My GGBond started in all 4 matches!]

Liverpool were just unlucky to run into Manchester United; otherwise, their first-ever Premier League title would have been a sure thing.

With Liverpool trailing by eight points, many fans are lamenting the team's fate.

This is the same as Manchester United's situation the season before last.

Manchester United had over 90 points in the 17-18 season, but ultimately finished second in the league.

Manchester United have transferred the pain they experienced two years ago to Liverpool.

This has nothing to do with fate or luck. Liverpool can't control Manchester United's losing streak, just like Manchester City's winning streak against Manchester United back then.

If someone keeps winning, can you force them to lose?

You can't force them, can you?
"thanks, thanks"

After winning the MVP award for the match, Tang Ye and Dembele were interviewed by reporters in the mixed zone.

Both Tang Ye and Dembele wore masks, but because he had already tested positive once, Dembele wore his mask very casually, with half of his nose exposed in the camera.

"You can win the title if you win the next round, or you can win it directly even if Liverpool loses. Are you ready now?"

"Haha, of course."

Tang Ye put his hand on Dembele's shoulder: "We've already planned it; after winning the championship, we'll have a barbecue at the training base to celebrate."

Many Manchester United fans and journalists believe the Red Devils have almost secured the Premier League title, and the players believe it even more so.

"Are you struggling with this month's packed schedule? We've already reached round 35 of the league in July, but there are already 37 injured players in the Premier League."

37 Premier League players were injured, and none of the 20 Premier League teams were spared.

"Well... there's nothing we can do about it. We also have injured players. Frankie's ankle problem is expected to last for a while, but I'm absolutely confident we can handle it."

"Some fans have said that if Manchester United fights hard for the Premier League title, they will lose many key players in the competition, thus affecting their Champions League performance next month. Regarding this..."

"Oh, I don't think that will happen."

Tang Ye shook his head: "Although nearly 40 players are injured in the Premier League, Manchester United only has one injured player, so we can handle the game."

The reporter's point was that with such a large lead, should Manchester United slow down a bit and stop their frantic pursuit of the Premier League title to avoid any problems?

However, Manchester United already has a plan for this.

Manchester United will try to maintain a 100% win rate.

Blitzkrieg, win the title as quickly as possible, and then break away from the Premier League!

"Well... I wish you all the best."

Click, click, click!

"Thank you!"

Tang Ye put his hand on Dembele's shoulder, and the two slowly walked away.

……

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher: The schedule is too packed. Manchester United should reduce their focus on the league, or they will pay the price in the Champions League next month.

AS editor-in-chief Ron Cerro: Manchester United's most pressing need right now is to win the next round of the Premier League. Winning the title early is the best remedy to relieve the pressure of the schedule.

The Sun – Manchester United fans will hold a parade at Old Trafford if the team wins the title in the 36th round.

"Although the government has issued a ban on this behavior, experience shows that few England fans are willing to heed the government's advice."

Three days actually go by very quickly, and the Manchester United players are already on their way to London.

Selhurst Park, Manchester United's destination.

"Are you ready, Ottoman?"

Tang Ye turned to look at Dembele, who still had that blank look on his face: "Prepare what?"

"Get ready to win the title, the Premier League champions!"

Tang Ye said, "You've never won the Premier League title, have you? I'll help you win one!"

"But I've won the La Liga title."

Dembele shrugged: "You've never won a La Liga title."

"Hey, but I've won the Premier League title!"

Tang Ye and Dembele started arguing.

Dembele's attempt to compare his La Liga title to Tang Ye's Premier League title is a serious mistake.

The La Liga title is highly prestigious and comparable to the Premier League title.

However, this does not include the Premier League champions of the 18-19 season.

If you were to add Barcelona and Real Madrid from the 18-19 season to the Premier League's three-way rivalry, wouldn't they also get thoroughly thrashed?
Romance of the Three Kingdoms is devoid of human relationships and is entirely about fighting and killing.

"Just lie still."

Tang Ye ruffled Dembele's hair, completely messing it up: "The other team has a star player today, we'll win easily."

"Stay humble!"

Rodri reminded him.

"Okay, okay, it's my problem, it's my problem!"

Tang Ye raised his hands and admitted his mistake in the blink of an eye.

……

Repost: Manchester United releases promotional poster for their away game against Crystal Palace.

Caption: Continuous.

The caption on the poster uses an English adjective that translates to "continuous".

If there's only one adjective, what is it used to describe?

There were no nouns in the poster, but everyone knew what should follow "continuous".

【Premier League Champion】!
"China Media Group! This is a live broadcast for you..."

Manchester United are currently top of the league, while Crystal Palace are slightly behind, sitting in 11th place. This match is sure to be a spectacle!

"Yes, haha, I think today's match was even more interesting than the Liverpool vs. Manchester City game. Yes, this should be the most anticipated Premier League match in July."

"If Manchester United wins, they will be declared the Premier League champions!"
