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

Chapter 621 Teng Hahe Tangye's mind-sensing remote control: The benevolent are invincible and have nothing to fear.
Dongqiudi Match Report: Manchester United 5-1 RB Leipzig to advance to the Champions League semi-finals; De Jong in red-hot form, Tang Ye involved in all 3 goals. (109312 comments)

Hot Topic: Champions League Semi-Final Schedule Confirmed!

Upper bracket: Paris Saint-Germain vs. Barcelona (3:8 AM Beijing time, August 19).

Second half: Bayern Munich vs. Manchester United (August 20).

After a fierce battle, only four teams remained in Lisbon, while the rest went home.

Of all the teams that went home, Atletico Madrid had the most difficult time.

They were eliminated after the second leg of the Round of 16. Not only were they eliminated, but because of a trip to Lisbon, two members of the team tested positive, bringing the total number of infections within the Atlético Madrid team to four.

Fortunately, most of the players had been infected once before and had antibodies; otherwise, the entire team would probably have been wiped out.

The Daily Mail reports that five teams have reported positive COVID-5 cases during the Champions League finals (Atletico Madrid, Manchester United, Manchester City, RB Leipzig, and Atalanta), with only Manchester United remaining in the competition.

They're getting into metaphysics again.

The Daily Mail is a British newspaper, but it's unexpected that they would betray us and come up with a mysterious solution that is very detrimental to Manchester United at this time.

All teams with infected players have been eliminated.

Will Manchester United be next?
……

A reporter from Pravda reports that Manchester United conducted nucleic acid tests on all its personnel after the quarter-final match and discovered one new positive case. The specific person infected is currently unknown, but it is certain that it is not a player.

Only four teams remain, and Manchester United continues to live up to its reputation as a popular team, always getting the most attention no matter what it does.

There's definitely something going on within Manchester United, as evidenced by the gradually increasing number of positive cases.

Three out of the four semi-finalist teams tested positive for COVID-19, with Manchester United accounting for all three.
In the hotel room, Tang Ye, who had just taken a shower, lay on the bed. On the sofa were two bottles: one containing vitamin C and the other containing multivitamins.

clap clap!

I shook out 5 vitamin C tablets, 500mg each, and then put 3 multivitamin tablets into my mouth.

Gulu gulu!

They drank it all with the help of water.

Tang Ye consumed far more vitamins and minerals than the body needs daily, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

It's not just Tang Ye and Manchester United; the other four teams still playing in the Champions League are doing the same thing. This method can boost the body's immune function to a level higher than normal, and combined with the antibodies that are already present in the body, the effect should be quite good.

Even if a second infection is possible, we should wait until after the Champions League is over; postpone it by as many days as possible.

boom!
Tang Ye slammed heavily onto the bed, his thoughts gradually drifting away.

[Task progress: 3/3]

Status: Completed.

The Champions League's series of tasks, phase three.

Tang Ye reached Stage 3 in the 2017-18 season, but did not complete it at that time.

Now, two years later, he has finally managed to complete Phase Three.

You have gained 13500 comeback points.

A comeback point of 1.3!
With the addition of the Phase 3 rewards, Tang Ye's remaining comeback points reached an astonishing 15,000.

This money is enough for Tang Ye to buy a basic template and slightly improve his weak attribute stats.

But given Tang Ye's current stats, the low-level templates are basically useless to him.

Upgrade the hair clay and broccoli items to unlock their greater potential?
This is a pity, because with a major battle imminent, what Tang Ye needs most right now is immediate combat power.

Hair clay and broccoli are not good choices, but Tang Ye now has another item that can improve his skills.

[Kant's Hot Chocolate Milk +5: Restores 65% of muscle fatigue after use]

Since there was no need to upgrade other items for the time being, Tang Ye chose to upgrade [Hot Chocolate Milk] to the highest level.

[Kant's Hot Chocolate Milk +5 → +6]

[Kanté's...]

[Kant's Hot Chocolate Milk + 9 → Kant's Super Hot Chocolate Milk]

[Kanter's Super Hot Chocolate Milk: Recovers 75% of muscle fatigue and provides a slight, permanent increase in muscle mass]

Although upgrading from +9 to +10 only costs 2500 comeback points, it can bring an extra effect to the item.

A slight, permanent increase in muscle mass, clearly intended to combat injuries, is an unexpected bonus.

Tang Ye calmed down after his account balance dropped from 1.5 to just over 2000.

correct!

Let's take a look at the new task!
[Champions League Chase - Ultimate: You need to choose one of the following two tasks to complete. Your final reward depends on the task you complete.]

1. Win the Champions League.

2. Achieve a total of 10 goals/assists in the remaining Champions League matches.

[Task Rewards]

Option 1: Ultimate Treasure Chest - European Champion.

Option 2: Ultimate Treasure Chest - The Uncrowned King.

It's quite user-friendly, offering two different ways to complete the task, and you can get the ultimate treasure chest no matter which one you choose.

But... isn't this second method a bit too demanding?

To score 10 goals and provide 10 assists, Manchester United has already reached the semi-finals.

Does that mean he needs to create 10 goals in 2 games?

hiss……

After reviewing the second approach, Tang Ye decided to focus his attention on winning the championship.

dong dong!

There was a knock at the door, but Tang Ye didn't actually close it.

"You can come in!"

"Tom!"

Rodri walked in, pointing outside the door: "Didn't you see the group chat? We're having a meeting in the conference room!"

"Hurry up, hurry up, I've been waiting for you for 5 minutes!"

"Okay, coming right away!"

Tang Ye jumped out of bed and ran out barefoot.

……

In the conference room, Steve McLaren stood in front of the projector.

This is the second assistant coach in Manchester United's coaching staff.

Why is he the second teaching assistant?
Because the first assistant coach, Van der Gach, also fell ill.

Ten Hag contracted COVID-19, and Van der Gach, who was inseparable from Ten Hag, was naturally not spared either.

"Hmm, let's take a look..."

McLaren slowly said that he is 59 years old this year and is the oldest member of Ten Hag's coaching team.

McClaren is very experienced, but he has been an assistant coach since the beginning of his coaching career and does not actually have the ability to command on the field.

Ten Hag's advice over the phone was that McClaren should emphasize the team's tactics before the game, so that they wouldn't need to do much more once the game started.

Ding!
The projected screen suddenly lit up, and with the help of staff, McLaren successfully made a video call with Ten Hag.

Good evening, guys.

Ten Hag waved to the players from his bed.

For a 50-year-old "old guy," the second COVID-19 outbreak was indeed quite difficult to bear, and this problem kept him in bed.

After a brief greeting, Ten Hag led the players back to the main topic.

First, we'll summarize the quarter-final match, and then we'll discuss the contingency plan for the semi-final against Bayern Munich.

"Coach Steve won't be doing much directing in the actual game, cough cough, cough cough, so I'm explaining everything to you here first..."

Tang Ye pursed his lips, his expression serious.

He was already bald, and now he was lying in bed coughing incessantly, giving him the impression that he had cancer and was about to die.

Mr. Eric… “That’s about it. I think Bayern is the toughest of the remaining three teams, but we’ve already drawn them, so there’s nothing we can do, cough cough. Anyway, we’re the best team in the semifinals, so we’re bound to win, cough cough, that’s the logic.”

"...Also, there might be some issues with the on-field command during the match, requiring flexibility. We'll follow Coach Steve's instructions. If Coach Steve doesn't decide, then Tom, you'll be in charge of on-field command and midfield adjustments."

"..."

Tang Ye raised his head and looked at Ten Hach's head on the big screen: "Mr. Eric... I don't have a coaching license."

"It's just a certificate, what can it prove? If you can command, then go for it. Midfield adjustments and on-field adjustments are the same, cough cough, anyway, that's how it is. If you can't do it, then let Rodri come. It's just the two of you."

Despite losing two managers, Manchester United's strength will not be weakened too much.

Manchester United's system is now very well-developed, so much so that there are two tactical coaches in the starting lineup.

One Ten Hach has fallen, but there are still thousands upon thousands of Ten Hachs to come!

Tom and Rodri!

They are all disciples of Ten Hach!

"Well... let's do our best."

Tang Ye spoke softly, feeling that the burden on his shoulders had become even heavier.

so tired!

The Manchester Evening News' front-page headline reads: "Third positive case within Manchester United confirmed as interim manager Rafael van der Gaël."

What the heck?

【Manwan, you'd better just shut up. You've already leaked all the information.】

[Wow, one game and a coach is sacrificed, huh?]

Does Manchester United have any more coaches?

[We definitely have a coach; if all else fails, we can have the coaches from the second team and youth academy fly over. The problem is whether the third coach is capable; if he's not, then we're truly doomed.]

How about letting me, Tang the King of Football, play? I, Tang the King of Football, can see right through their underwear!

With just over a day to go before the match between Manchester United and Bayern Munich, another piece of bad news broke for Manchester United.

Three people were diagnosed, and all three were key figures.

A Thai cartoonist posted one of his creations on his Twitter account.

The little devil has knocked on the door of death for Real Madrid and Leipzig, and the next step is to open the door for Bayern Munich.

However, the imp was already riddled with holes, and its black armor was almost falling off.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand: If the club needs me, I'll head to Portugal right now.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher: Ferdinand couldn't manage the current Manchester United, and it's a shame there are few teams in football today that can help them. I feel sorry for them; they can't replicate Liverpool's success.

Carragher's words quickly angered Manchester United fans.

Manchester United fans agree that Ferdinand is not suited to coaching the club.

But what do you mean by saying Manchester United can't replicate Liverpool's success?
What did Liverpool have besides winning the Champions League last season?
Manchester United are heading to Lisbon this season with three titles to contend for. If they win, it won't just be a simple replication, but a genuine surpassing!

Dongqiudi Match Report: Suarez's header sealed the victory for Barcelona, ​​giving them a 1-0 upset win over PSG; Neymar's goal was disallowed. (68731 comments)

Barcelona's popularity is almost on par with Manchester United's, after all, Messi is there.

Messi's performance after the restart was very average, far worse than last season.

Meanwhile, Neymar has been performing exceptionally well in Paris, seemingly experiencing a second spring in his career.

Before the match, most fans favored Paris Saint-Germain, and the actual result of the match was that Paris Saint-Germain dominated Barcelona.

But Barcelona held on for 107 minutes, until Suarez finally headed the ball back to France.

Barcelona advances first!

The current situation is this: in tomorrow's match between Bayern Munich and Manchester United, the winner will face Barcelona in the final battle on August 24th (Beijing time).

The official UEFA Champions League announcement states that the final will be held at the Estádio da Luz in Lisbon, at 8 p.m. local time on August 23.

Final match: Barcelona (home team) vs. the winner of the lower bracket (away team).

Marca editor: Barcelona's advancement to the final was purely due to luck. They were the weakest of the four semi-finalists, but Barcelona was very lucky. Whether it was Manchester United or Bayern Munich, any team in the lower half of the bracket could easily defeat Barcelona.

In an effort to save face for Real Madrid, the editor-in-chief of Marca criticized Barcelona for advancing to the final by luck and also created a so-called "ranking of strength" for the four semi-final teams.

1. Manchester United. (Tier 1)
2. Bayern Munich. (Tier 1)
3. Paris. (Second tier)
4. Barcelona. (Tier 4)
According to Marca's rankings, the two teams in the bottom half are clearly stronger than the two teams in the top half, and by a significant margin.

Of course, this only refers to the raw strength, that is, the strength of the starting lineup on paper.

In high-level football matches, it's not enough to just look at the starting lineup.

Take Manchester United for example, you can tell they're invincible just by looking at their starting lineup.

Who knew that this Premier League giants were already without a coach?

……

The front page of Mundo Deportivo reports that Manchester United have submitted a new interim managerial application to UEFA, with 59-year-old McClaren set to take over as manager for the semi-finals. According to reports, actual control may lie with Tyler Eriksson. Ten Hag has great faith in Eriksson's game sense.

“TY has known Ten Hach for 5 years and is one of Ten Hach’s first disciples. Ten Hach should believe that he can remotely control the game through TY.”

Remote Control!
It sounds impressive, but what about the actual results?

Well, that depends on the mentor-student relationship between Ten Hah and Tang Ye.

Only a true master and disciple can communicate remotely through consciousness, a so-called "psychological connection" that many eminent monks cannot achieve.

But do you think it's possible for Ten Hah and Tang Ye to develop this kind of "psychological connection"?

This is hard to say.

Because they are Ten Hach and Tang Ye!
Their bond between teacher and student is the deepest!

The time came to the morning of the competition.

The Bayern Munich vs. Manchester United match was clearly more valuable, more interesting, and more exciting than the first half.

Fans on both sides were anxious, hoping the match would start soon while simultaneously wishing it wouldn't come so soon.

Both sets of fans believed their team would win.

But what if we lose?

At noon, Bayern Munich officially released their semi-final poster.

Compared to the Round of 16 and Quarter-finals, Bayern's poster for the semi-finals was much more arrogant.

More than 20 Bayern Munich players roared simultaneously at the Estádio da Luz, with the team's head coach Flick positioned in the center of the poster.

The text accompanying the poster is quite interesting, because this German team is using Chinese.

The benevolent are invincible.

Bayern Munich is one of the top five European league teams that values ​​the Chinese market the most, and their poster has two meanings.

First of all, they thanked the Chinese fans for their support.

Furthermore, Bayern Munich will not be afraid of Tang Ye.

In comparison, Manchester United's poster was rather disappointing, but the poor quality of Manchester United's poster had nothing to do with Manchester United's social media presence.

Half an hour after Bayern Munich's "invincible" performance, Manchester United's official Twitter account posted a video.

what is this?
Click to take a look.

"Wow!"

"The ball is in!"

"My God, it's in!"

"Tang Ye!"

"Beautiful! Tang Ye!"

"A game-winning goal! This is a game-winning goal!"

"Tang Ye scores his second goal! China scores!"

"2:1!"

"The Chinese team defeated the German team! The Chinese team is the victor!"

Bayern Munich fans: 6
