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

Chapter 632 Platini's Legacy, Tang Ye's Attention Deficit Problem
[Champions League Chase - Final Chapter]

Task status: Completed.

"..."

This is the first time in three seasons since Tang Ye joined Manchester United that he has completed all the Champions League tasks, and of course, it is also the first time that he has won the ultimate treasure chest of the Champions League.

You have obtained the ultimate treasure chest - European Champion.

[Opening the ultimate treasure chest - European Champion...]

Unlike previous times when opening treasure chests, this time Tang Ye was faced with a black and white screen, as if he were watching an old movie from the early 20th century.

You have inherited Platini's legacy.

[Platini's Legacy: This legacy includes 2 legendary templates]

You have obtained the Platini slow dribbling burst template (Legendary)

You have obtained Platini's Penalty Master template (Legendary).

[Position: 91 → 92]

Speed: 80 → 82

[Shots on goal: 84 → 85]

Two templates, increasing three attributes by a total of four ability points. To be honest, the Platini Legend template is more effective than the Messi-Ronaldo Legend template.

Legendary templates seem to be similar to Lafite; they need time to mature, and the older they are, the more powerful they become.

However, upon closer reflection, it's possible that Platini's role model is more suitable for him, as many football experts like to use Platini as a comparison when analyzing Tang Ye.

Take a look at the current panel.

Tang Ye
[Ball possession: 92; Passing: 95]

[Shots: 85; Headers: 62; Set pieces: 90]

Speed: 82; Endurance: 82; Physical Strength: 87

[Defense: 77; Vision: 99]

Overall rating: 93
Tang Ye's endurance attributes, which were damaged by COVID-19, have not fully recovered, but his overall score has already reached 93.

The system's evaluation criteria are much stricter than FIFA's official ones, which makes Tang Ye very excited to see his own player card in FIFA 21.

……

UEFA Champions League Official: 2019-20 UEFA Champions League Player of the Year Nominees
1. Ousmane Dembélé (forward), Manchester United.

2. Robert Lewandowski (forward), Bayern Munich.

3. Tang Ye (midfielder), Manchester United.

The Champions League Player of the Season award requires selecting one player from three shortlisted candidates, but the Best Manager award does not.

Because the results for Coach of the Season have already been announced.

That's right, it's him!

Eric Ten Hach!

The man who led Manchester United to new heights!

Some fans questioned whether Ten Hag should have received this award, but this is absolutely a very wrong view.

Think differently.

Before Ten Hag took charge of Manchester United, the club's best achievement was the treble.

And what happened after Ten Hag came to Manchester United?
Four-time champion!
Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, and EFL Cup!

As for your question about why Ten Hag didn't play in the last three Champions League matches...

Don't ask me that yet. I've already said we need to think about it from a different perspective. It's wrong of you to keep focusing on these three matches.

"Ho ho ho!!!!"

A number of motorcycles roared to life and then formed a long line as they sped out of Old Trafford.

"Wow!!"

"Hoohoo!"

Bang bang bang!
You can tell from the sound that these motorcycles are all modified. Two people ride one motorcycle, with the person in front responsible for speeding and the person in the back responsible for holding up the flag.

There are many different flags, including Manchester United's crest and Tang Ye's portrait.

"Four-time champion!"

"Four-time champion!"

Beep beep beep!!!
The road was filled with motorcycles and some MPVs, and Old Trafford stadium was packed with Manchester United fans, with local SWAT officers on duty.

"To prevent and control the epidemic, do not gather illegally!"

"Fuck you!"

boom!
Several fans crashed into the riot shields of the special police.

"Maintain formation! Maintain formation!"

The SWAT captain shouted, and a row of riot shields were ready.

The crowd of fans quickly surged over again.

"Wow!"

boom!
"Run them over! Run them over!"

"Manchester United, charge!!!"

The defense was quickly breached, and fans bypassed the special police to enter the stadium, lighting their flares which emitted a piercing "zzzz" sound.

"Long live Manchester United!"

"Long live!"

“Camp Nou was red, Wewbley was too!”

"Now, we've brought the Big Ears back to you!"

Red flags fluttered in the stadium.

A YouTuber infiltrated the crowd and interviewed Manchester United fans who were causing trouble in the stadium using his phone.

Seeing that someone was filming, a large number of fans quickly gathered around.

"Awesome!!! (in Chinese)"

"TangYe is awesome!!! (in Chinese)"

"Oh shit!"

The blogger was startled and quickly backed away, while the fans chased after him.

"Manchester United is awesome!"

"Quadruple Crown!"

……

German media reports that Manchester United earned a total of €1.31 million in prize money in the Champions League this season, ranking first among all participating teams.

The Times - Tottenham will not give up on their pursuit of Bruno Fernandes and plans to complete the transfer before the end of September.

"The delayed closing of the transfer window in the top five European leagues has given Tottenham ample time to prepare, and according to the player's family and friends, Fernandes believes he will transfer to Tottenham," according to The Times.

Official FA report: Summary of broadcast revenue and prize money for the 2019-20 Premier League season.

1. Manchester United, £2.07 million.

2. Liverpool, £1.82 million.

3. Manchester City, £1.70 million.

……

10. Norwich, £1.02 million.

The pandemic has dealt a heavy blow to the finances of teams in the top five European leagues. Fortunately, the viewership of the Premier League and the Champions League remains excellent, giving the 20 teams in the leagues a significant boost.

The extent of the team's losses is currently unclear, but it is estimated that not many teams will be able to make a profit this season.

The end of the Champions League final marks the end of the 19-20 season, and clubs are now grappling with summer transfer worries.

Among all the teams in the top five leagues, Manchester United and Bayern Munich are the most anxious.

The head coach's mind is entirely focused on the Champions League match; he's only just begun reading the reports submitted by the scouts.

One piece of news that has Manchester United fans very excited is that United are expected to sign Cavani from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer!
Haller couldn't meet Manchester United's requirements for a center forward, and Martial's performance was too inconsistent, so if Manchester United wanted to strengthen their attack, they had no choice but to start with the center forward position. Top-class center forwards, especially those suitable for Manchester United, are extremely rare in the top five leagues, and Cavani is one of the possibilities that fans believe is suitable.

Manchester United have announced that their legendary captain Ashley Young has left the club.

……

More than 30 Manchester United players gathered at Ashley Young's home, including first team, B team, and even some from the youth academy.

The players came here for one purpose: to hold a retirement farewell ceremony for their former captain, Ashley Young, and for this, they even brought the Champions League trophy.

"Come, Osman!"

Tang Ye and Dembele toasted, and then Tang Ye gulped down a large mouthful of ice-cold beer.

It was indeed a bit icy, making Tang Ye feel as if his esophagus was frozen.

These two seemed to have completely forgotten why they came here today; at least, they only suddenly remembered when Ashley Young started speaking.

Right in the middle of the living room, Ashley Young held a half-empty beer bottle in his left hand, his right hand empty, and his face was slightly flushed.

"My contract with Manchester United ends tomorrow..."

Ashley Young sighed, his body swaying as he spoke, but his eyes were very firm, making it impossible for Tang Ye to tell whether Ashley Young was really drunk.

"I am very grateful to everyone for being with me all the way. Together we won the Champions League title. To be honest, I had given up on the idea of ​​winning the Champions League after the previous few seasons."

Ashley Young's fingers pointed to the Champions League trophy that Mata was holding in his arms. The latter was also very excited, because for these two veteran Manchester United players, the Champions League title was something they had long since dared not even dream of.

"To be honest, I'm quite glad I chose to stay during the winter, and I'm grateful to Tom for persuading me to stay with the team."

Tang Ye lay on the sofa with his hands behind his head, chuckling to himself.

"Thank you for bringing us the Champions League title."

"Haha, don't say that about Yang, they're all in this together."

Tang Ye sat up straight and reached out to pat Ashley Yang on the shoulder.

Ashley Young raised the bottle and gulped down the liquor.

I bet five dollars he'll get drunk.

Tang Ye whispered to Rhodes beside him, while Ashley Young shook his head and said, "To be honest, I still really want to stay, because I feel we're very strong right now, strong enough to win the Champions League consecutively."

Another sip of wine.

Gulu!

"But I can't stay, because I can't force myself to stay when the team no longer needs me."

Ashley Young sighed.

He could stay during the winter because his contract hadn't expired yet.

But now that the contract has really expired, and Manchester United seems to have found a suitable full-back, it would be a bit shameless to stay at this point.

Ashley Young is a person who values ​​his dignity very much. If you ask him to renew his contract with the team knowing that he will be a burden to the team, let alone Ten Hag, Ashley Young himself would not agree.

For this reason, none of Ashley Young's Manchester United teammates in the living room said anything to persuade him to stay at Manchester United and retire.

When a team is ridiculously strong, and you want to retire gloriously with that team... well, that's definitely a very difficult thing.

Ashley Young's speech left Tang Ye speechless. Rhodesley stood up and hugged Ashley Young, with Tang Ye following closely behind.

clap clap!

A heavy slap landed on Ashley Young's back, and he suddenly exclaimed, "Triple Crown Winner!"

"Ok?"

"You know what I mean by the treble, right?"

Ashley Young looked Tang Ye in the eyes: "It seems you probably don't know."

"The treble I'm referring to isn't winning three titles in one season, but winning the Champions League for three consecutive seasons."

"Oh!"

Tang Ye took a step back, startled by Ashley Yang's words: "So you're putting pressure on us now that you're gone?"

He shrugged and shook his head: "It's not very suitable, but..."

Tang Ye gave Ashley Young another hug: "I think we can give it a try. The stands should be back up by then, and you can come and watch the game live."

"If we win the Champions League again, I will hand the trophy to you."

"certainly"

Tang Ye added, "I raised it first this time."

"Ha ha"

He only cares about such unimportant things.

Ashley Young pointed at Tang Ye and complained to Rhodes.

……

The club's transfer window coincides with the players' off-season.

But before the official holiday arrives, Tang Ye still needs to meet with Bo Er offline to discuss a rather important matter.

Last summer, while receiving treatment for a fracture at the Mayo Clinic, the doctors at the clinic noticed something was wrong with Tang Ye's behavior and conducted a thorough examination.

The examination results showed that ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) had relapsed.

Tang Ye had this when he was a child. He got the diagnosis from a local hospital in Guangdong and had it properly treated.

With the combined help of medication and behavioral intervention, Tang Ye's ADHD was alleviated.

However, this is a neurodevelopmental issue, meaning it only alleviates symptoms, not cures them. This leads to the current problem: as living environment and stress change, the symptoms that had disappeared will reappear.

Taking medicine when you're sick is a very basic concept.

But that's where the problem lies.

Tang Ye has been using methylphenidate to treat ADHD since childhood, which is a type of stimulant.

"It's okay, Tom, don't worry, this is easy to handle."

Because Tang Ye had told him about this a year ago, Bohr is not worried at all now.

"First of all, you absolutely must take this medication, because if you don't, your condition will worsen, and it might even affect your life."

"You'll need medication not only during the off-season but also during the competition, so I'll prepare a TUE application form for you."

Bohr pushed out the TUE form, which was already half-filled.

TUE is an abbreviation for Therapeutic Use Exemption.

Simply put, if you have to take this drug, you can take it under certain conditions, even if it is a performance-enhancing drug (the drug level in blood tests during competition must not exceed the standard value).

As for the methylphenidate used by Tang Ye, there are three cases in the English Premier League and the Championship, two of which were approved by TUE and one was rejected.

[Situation Description:]

[Previous Cases:]

Tang Ye glanced at the table briefly. The content was somewhat complicated, with densely packed text. But since there were already two cases in the Premier League, he figured he could probably succeed too.

If he needs to show medical records, Tang Ye can produce all his certificates from age 3 to 16.

……

The Sun's front-page headline: A player applied for a TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption) from the Premier League during the off-season, but details about the player could not be obtained due to confidentiality rules.

Although the identity of the person is unknown, the news from The Sun still garnered a lot of attention from fans.

The Sun reporter mentioned in the article that Manchester United star Tang Ye had suffered from ADHD.

"This is what is known as 'ADHD'. The newspaper reporter consulted relevant psychiatric experts, who said that the disease requires long-term medication, such as (Concerta), otherwise there is a risk of symptom relapse. Based on this speculation, TY may very well have a TUE requirement."

The Sun always emphasizes evidence when reporting news, and they even hired a psychology expert to analyze videos of Tang Ye's post-match interviews from the past few seasons.

Starting from the 17-18 season, Tang Ye used "sorry" more and more frequently.

The reason for using the word "sorry" is that Tang Ye was distracted and did not understand the reporter's question, so the reporter had to repeat it.

"As you can see, TY used 'sorry' almost every time he was interviewed during the 19-20 season. If he doesn't resume his medication, the worsening symptoms could affect his normal life."

"Unfortunately, even with strong medication, TY's concentration may still not reach the level of a normal person" - The Sun editor.

The Sun seems quite certain that the person who submitted the TUE application was Tang Yip, because they gave the cover of their latest issue an interesting name.

The Price of Genius
