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

Chapter 633 The best option is to leave on loan.
UEFA Champions League Team of the Season 2019-20 (First Team):

Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich)

Defenders: Kimmich (Bayern Munich), Marquinhos (Paris Saint-Germain), Kimpembe (Bayern Munich), Bernat (Paris Saint-Germain)

Midfielders: Frenkie de Jong (Manchester United), Tang Ye (Manchester United), Rodri (Manchester United)
Forwards: Dembele (Manchester United), Lewandowski (Bayern Munich), Neymar (Paris Saint-Germain)
Head Coach: Eric Ten Hag (Manchester United)
The UEFA Best XI announced was largely in line with fan speculations. Interestingly, a cartoon by a Norwegian caught the attention of fans after the Best XI was announced.

In the comic, Ten Hag is lying on a luxurious hotel bed with a "COVID-19" sign on the blanket, meaning he has been infected with the coronavirus.

Rodri and De Jong stood together, their four arms lifting the bed high.

Don't ask why Rodri and De Jong have such great power, because that's how it's depicted in the comics.

Bailly, De Ligt, Ashley Young, and Mata, among other players, were also on the large bed, dressed in special outfits from the Champions League final, but were actually taking care of the sick Ten Hag.

Then there's Tang Ye, who's tethered like a cow in front of him. In the comic, Tang Ye's muscles are bulging as he drags the bed behind him forward with all his might.

Rashford, Haller, and Wan-Bissaka were cheering from behind, but judging from their expressions, pushing the bed from behind didn't seem to require much effort.

This comic has generated far more buzz than UEFA's official best XI list.

Comic title: Lying Down with a Crown

[What the hell is this "lying down and getting crowned" name? Which genius came up with that name?]

[Tennhav: The Champions League is no challenge at all, I'm not kidding, it really is no challenge]

[Rodri and De Jong were carrying the bed up from below, which was quite something. But honestly, without Rodri and De Jong, Manchester United would have conceded at least six goals to Bayern.]

[Isn't Tang the King of Football a pig? How did I turn into a cow?]

[Anyway, you guys tell me if it's easy or not. I think it's pretty easy, provided you let me lie in bed.]

Stop talking, wait until Cavani comes to Manchester United next season, then we'll show you what a top-class attacking line really is.

Cavani was linked with Manchester United right after the Champions League final, and now more and more reporters are covering the story.

More and more journalists are saying that Cavani is in talks with Manchester United about a final contract, so it seems that this is indeed true.

Acquiring Cavani on a free transfer, despite his age, is a testament to the Uruguayan striker's ability; he's definitely several levels better than Manchester United's existing center forward.

In addition to Cavani, the Manchester Evening News also reported that Ten Hag is interested in Dutch midfielder Van de Beek.

As fellow Dutchmen, it's hard not to suspect that Ten Hach had ulterior motives.

But fans thought about it carefully.

If Ten Hag has led his team to a Champions League victory, then his transfer strategy must be sound.

Was Ten Hach wrong?
No, it's not Ten Hach who's wrong.

The Manchester United fans are in the wrong!

Manchester United fans thought Ten Hag was a player who would take any team he saw, including the Dutch.

That's not actually the case. Ten Hach was focused on other areas, but they just happened to be the rattan armored troops and the Dutch.

The reason fans are fans is because they can't see what the coach sees.

……

September has arrived, and there are less than 20 days left before the start of the new season of the top five European leagues.

The offseason has been shortened to 10 days, but the players won't complain.

Since there's nowhere to go, staying at home alone is incredibly boring.

Fans are focusing all their attention on the transfer window.

Messi and Barcelona extend contract for another year.

Fernandes and Tottenham Hotspur fail to reach an agreement on salary issues.

Dortmund interested in Birmingham's talented midfielder Bellingham

Barcelona have submitted another offer for Tang Ye, this time for €2.2 million, but payment will be made in installments.

The pandemic has dealt a blow to many top clubs, with even traditionally wealthy teams like Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Barcelona struggling to come up with large sums of money at once. This means that there will be no major signings this summer transfer window.

9 month 3 day.

The Sun's front-page headline: The player who submitted a TUE application to the FA at the end of August has been confirmed as TY, and he is awaiting the TUE result.

The Sun's TUE column.

1. Based on past experience, the medication TY uses to treat ADHD is likely methylphenidate, which is a nervous system stimulant.

2. The player has informed the club and the FA of the situation, and based on the club's assessment, the player must receive medication.

3. Tang Ye's medical and management teams hope he can take the medication in time, but Tang Ye himself is still waiting for the results.

He needed to take the medicine as soon as possible, but Tang Ye refused to.

Because when communicating with the club, the club had already told Tang Ye that methylphenidate is a drug with a very serious penalty. If he took it without obtaining a TUE (Test for Evidence) result and the blood test was positive, he would be suspended.

There's nothing we can do about it. It's just a matter of waiting a few days, so Tang Ye isn't in a hurry.

……

The Sun's TUE column featured a front-page headline with bold text: The Football Association rejected a TUE application because the player could not prove that the medication he was going to use was the only treatment for the disease.

Whenever such news breaks, The Sun is arguably the only reliable source of accurate information for football fans.

According to the column, there are many medications for treating ADHD, such as methylphenidate, dextromethorphan, amphetamine, and atomoxetine.

Atomoxetine is not a stimulant among these medications, but it can still be used to treat ADHD.

In this case, if you want to apply for a TUE exemption, you must prove the uniqueness of the drug or prove that the drug is the optimal choice.

"According to information collected by the newspaper, TY was likely already receiving methylphenidate treatment during his teenage years, and this drug is the optimal treatment for his condition. The FA stated that the player cannot prove that methylphenidate was the only medication used, but the reason for this inability is currently unclear."

A single issue of The Sun is quite thick, and this issue dedicated half of its content to reporting on Tang Ye's TUE application. The Sun even cited many examples of players from the top five European leagues and the Olympics who had TUEs.

The problem now is that there are no problems with the procedures and documents, so why did the FA reject Tang Ye's TUE?

【? ? ? 】

This is how capitalist countries are: capital is manipulating everything.

What's the panic? It'll definitely pass eventually. Do you really think Manchester United is a pushover?

[There's no way to prove its uniqueness. Didn't we have records from his childhood? Which hospital did Tang Ye go to for treatment as a child? Doctors, step forward!]

It seems they're missing some documents. Just have Zhengxiong go back to Guangdong and bring the hospital's records over.

……

The Times – The FA did not reject TY’s TUE application; the player’s TUE was rejected after review by UKAD (the UK Anti-Doping Agency).

"On the contrary, the FA even supported TY's TUE application, but to no avail."

Things got stranger and stranger until September 8, when registration for the new Premier League season was about to begin, when The Sun provided the answer to the question.

It was indeed the UK Anti-Doping Agency, not the Football Association, that rejected the TUE application. This organization is completely independent and has virtually no connection with the Football Association.

The reason they rejected Tang Ye's TUE application was simple: the information Tang Ye used to prove the uniqueness of methylphenidate came from more than ten years ago, meaning the information did not meet the timeliness requirement for a TUE application.

The Sun newspaper offered a solution.

That is, Tang Ye first took atomoxetine (a non-stimulant) for 3 months, and after obtaining a hospital certificate, he switched to methylphenidate.

This appears to be the only way to obtain TUE permission, but according to the reporter, this approach also carries risks.

ADHD is a chronic disease, and based on experience, the success rate of applying for a TUE in the middle of the season for chronic diseases is very low. Moreover, even if the application is successful, Tang Ye will need to be suspended for 6 months before he can participate in the game.

Moreover, the body responsible for the approval is the UK's own anti-doping agency, which doesn't care about the feelings of fans like the FA does.

……

"Maybe I should just stop taking the medication and apply for TUE next summer transfer window, which means waiting another year."

In Carrington's office, club staff, Ten Hag, Tang Ye, and his doctor sat together discussing the matter of methylphenidate (TUE).

Also attending this emergency meeting was the club's director, John Murtaff.

"Actually, you should have told us about what happened after your checkup at the Mayo Clinic last year."

Mertaf sighed.

Tang Ye didn't know that this matter could have been easily resolved a year earlier. He could have taken atomoxetine during the 19-20 season to prove that atomoxetine was ineffective, and then applied for a TUE for methylphenidate.

However, Tang Ye only knew that he needed to prove uniqueness, but he did not know that applying for TUE also required valid documents within 3 years.

"Just don't eat it..."

Thinking of the idea Tang Ye had just given him, Teng Hahe looked at the neurologist Tang Ye had found, and finally received a negative answer.

According to the latest test results, Tang Ye's condition has become somewhat complicated. If he doesn't eat, he may encounter problems during the competition.

"Let's apply temporarily. You can take atomoxetine for three months and get a doctor's certificate."

"That's a six-month suspension..."

Mertaff sighed and temporarily requested a six-month suspension from TUE...

算一下时间，9、10、11三个月托莫西汀，12、1、2、3、4、5六个月禁赛。

“Fuck”

Mertaf suddenly looked up and met Ten Hach's gaze.

The timing was perfect; they completely dominated the entire season.

It seems the FA specifically studied drug exclusivity when drafting the rules, and now their rules have backfired, slapping Manchester United and the Premier League in the face. "Actually, he wasn't even wearing..."

Ten Hag gently shook his head: "The Champions League final is in June, we can still play a Champions League final."

"..."

Playing in the Champions League final sounds pretty good.

Then the problem is coming.

Mertaf looked at Ten Hag and asked a question the latter couldn't answer: "Then how do we get to the Champions League final?"

"..."

……

Manchester Evening News front-page headline: Manchester United appeals player TUE application, asking anti-doping agency to consider the facts.

The Times front-page headline: At least nine Premier League club supporter groups have filed an appeal against Manchester United, demanding that TY be banned for next season.

The Sun – A clash between two Manchester United fans and a Wolves fan over a TY (Team Tyler's Association) exemption application resulted in a Wolves fan being seriously injured.

Click, click, click!

Manchester City sporting director Txiki Begiristain gave an interview to Sky Sports.

"Will you sue Manchester United? They want to apply for changes to the TUE rules."

"I don't know, maybe, maybe not. To be honest, I don't know much about this, but we definitely won't express our support."

"What are the specific reasons?"

Begiristain replied, "Since the requirement is for data from the last three years, I hope Manchester United will abide by this rule."

"You know, maybe atomoxetine is working on TY again now. After all, you can't be sure about medicine; nobody can guarantee anything."

Despite claiming ignorance, Begiristain spoke as if he knew everything; he could even clearly explain the difference between atomoxetine and methylphenidate.

"Have you been researching this all along, just like Liverpool?"

The reporter squinted: "You don't want TY to participate in the Premier League next season, is that right?"

"No, no, TY can boost Premier League ratings, so of course we welcome him."

Begiristain smiled slightly: "However... I suggest he stay home and rest first, and apply for a TUE during the winter transfer window once he is able to take methylphenidate."

The results were derived from research conducted according to Manchester City's research rules.

Manchester United could temporarily transfer Tang Ye to the B team during the summer transfer window, allowing him to rest at home, and then re-register him as a youth player from the B team in the Premier League after passing the TUE test in the winter transfer window (because Tang Ye is under 23 years old).

Manchester City's approach is very clever.

原本下赛季唐业只能踢3个月，而现在2、3、4、5整整4个月时间都可以踢。

But looking at it from another angle, Tang Ye will be absent for half of the next Premier League season.

Manchester City thinks this way, and other teams certainly think this way too.

……

The front page headline of Mundo Deportivo states that only the UK Anti-Doping Agency and the Olympic Anti-Doping Agency have requirements regarding the timeliness of information.

"Besides promoting a player from the B team to the Premier League through youth academy, loaning him to other leagues is also a viable option. The newspaper consulted a neurologist about this matter, who recommended that TY take methylphenidate directly to prevent the condition from worsening."

The front page headline of AS reports that Barcelona's management has proposed a one-season loan for TY, and the decision has been approved, but Barcelona still needs to communicate further with Manchester United regarding the loan fee.

AS editor-in-chief Roncelo: Although Barcelona's management has decided on a loan, I believe Real Madrid is a better choice for TY. Madrid has the best ADHD specialists in Spain.

The Sun's front-page headline: Neurology departments in several English hospitals are overflowing with patients who are not ill, but are asking a lot of questions about ADHD.

[Loan Barcelona? True or False]

I suggest doing what Manchester City said: send him to the B team for half a season, and then come back during the winter transfer window.

[The person upstairs is still displaying the Manchester United logo, showing no consideration for Tang Ye at all. How can a professional player go six months without playing? He should be loaned to Barcelona immediately.]

Why is it only possible to loan him to Barcelona? Why can't he come to Real Madrid?

[Just stop taking the medicine altogether. You haven't taken it for 5 years, so why not try for another year?]

[You didn't finish reading, did you? Back in 2019, they said it was necessary to take it, and Tang Ye endured it for a whole year.]

I thought this summer transfer window would be quiet, but it turned out to be nothing like I expected.

On the contrary, the summer transfer window of 2020 may be the most exciting in recent seasons!
……

The Daily Telegraph headline – Manchester United’s appeal is likely to be rejected.

FA Chairman Clark: I think Manchester United’s request is reasonable. The suitability of ADHA medication for individuals remains unchanged in the long term. Depression patients do not change their medication for a long time after finding a suitable one, and the same is true for ADHD.

Click, click, click!

Barcelona hosted local football journalists at Camp Nou, and President Bartomeu gave an interview.

"Our intention to rent TY is genuine, and we are willing to offer a suitable fee."

"But we haven't reached an agreement with Manchester United yet. Manchester United is only willing to loan for half a season, which is very unreasonable. A loan of this level shouldn't only last half a season."

Bartomeu stated, "We are willing to cover 100% of his salary, plus a substantial loan fee, which I think Manchester United should consider."

Barcelona are hoping to loan Tang Ye for at least two seasons, but Manchester United think two seasons is too long.

After all, Tang Ye only needs half a season to be free.

"Then why did you rent TY?"

The reporter asked, "Because Barcelona hasn't won the Champions League for many years?"

"This has nothing to do with the Champions League."

Bartomeu corrected the reporter's mistake: "We simply believe that TY should play for Barcelona, ​​and besides, our last Champions League title was in 2015, only five years ago."

"But Real Madrid's last Champions League title was in 2018."

"..."

The reporter's words made Bartomeu feel a bit uncomfortable, but he couldn't lose his temper in front of the camera, so he could only swallow his anger.

……

Marca's front-page headline: "Given the current situation, Barcelona might not have been able to extend Messi's contract for another year. Messi's presence could diminish Tyreke's desire to play for Barcelona."

Manchester Evening News reporter: According to Manchester United staff, TY is open to a loan move to Barcelona, ​​but he will reapply to the anti-doping agency.

According to Tuttosport, a Juventus insider revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo suggested to the club's manager that TY be loaned out.

Pravda reports that a Paris Saint-Germain fan group has launched a crowdfunding campaign on Twitter to raise funds for the loan of TY, and has so far raised €14.2.

……

Just like when Cristiano Ronaldo was leaving Real Madrid, the news was everywhere. Strictly speaking, Tang Ye's incident may have generated even more buzz.

Cristiano Ronaldo isn't someone any team can afford, but Tang Ye is on loan for him.

Loaning Tang Ye for a season is a sum that most teams in the top five European leagues, not just Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​could afford.

September 15th is approaching, and the first round of the Premier League is less than a week away. At this point, there are only 20 days left before the registration deadline for the new Premier League season.

Italian journalist Romano: Manchester United's management has confirmed that TY is unlikely to be able to appeal through TUE.

"In addition, Barcelona and Manchester United have reached a preliminary agreement on the loan of TY. The loan period should be one season. Barcelona will need to cover 100% of TY's salary, plus a loan fee of 40-50 million euros, for a total cost of about 60 million euros," Romano provided firsthand information.

Clap clap clap!

clap clap clap!
That night, it rained heavily. Tang Ye, Rodri, and Dembele played games together.

Tang Ye has been in a bad mood these past few days because he has learned that he will not be able to register during the summer transfer window.

Standing barefoot inside the glass door, looking out into the distance through the balcony.

This was something Tang Ye liked to do, but because it was night and raining heavily, there was no one on the distant football field.

Looking down, Tang Ye noticed something.

Ok?
"Eh!"

Tang Ye shouted and ran downstairs amidst the bewildered gazes of Rodri and Dembele.

"What's wrong?"

Dembele looked at Rodri, who shook his head.

Crunch!

Pushing open the gate, a taxi was parked at the gate of the courtyard in the distance, and a person was standing outside the gate.

It was raining heavily, but this guy wouldn't use an umbrella, so his suit got completely soaked.

"brother!"

Tang Ye shouted and ran out with his umbrella.

After running a few steps, Tang Ye suddenly froze on the spot when he saw the face of the person who came from the other side, clutching the umbrella tightly in his hand.

The man in the suit ignored the heavy rain and stared intently at Tang Ye.

"Mr. Ferran?"
