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

Chapter 635 This lineup doesn't look like they can win at all.
Marca's front-page headline: TY is very close to joining Barcelona on loan. Should Real Madrid take countermeasures?
Dortmund official statement: A young man has arrived at Westfalen, capable of both passing and shooting.

According to official Dortmund news, just half an hour after Eskeriva's press conference ended.

In addition to the pinned text, Dortmund's new tweet also included a photo.

The photo is blurry; you can only see Dortmund's Westfalenstadion in the background, and a young man with dark hair standing in the middle of the frame.

However, the young man's back is to the camera, so you can't determine his identity at the moment.

So who is this person?
It's so hard to guess!

Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports betting platform) pinned post: Official announcement! Escriva confirmed in an interview that Tang Ye has joined Dortmund on loan; specific contract details are unknown. (198232 comments)

【Holy crap, they're here!】

[Is Ethan Juan looking this handsome?]

Who says pure love can't have a happy ending! Haters, speak up!

I have to say, Dortmund is really something. Guys, to be honest, I've been a Dortmund fan for ages.

Dortmund's attacking line seems a bit weak; their center forward is still a young player.

Forget about being young; just being able to play is good enough. Let's put up with it for a season first.

In general, news of transfers or loans is first broken by reporters, and then officially announced some time later.

Dortmund was quite arrogant this time. Before reporters and fans could discuss the success rate of the deal, the head coach directly announced the loan of Tang Ye at the press conference.

As for why Dortmund is so arrogant, that's an interesting story.

According to a reporter from Pravda, it is likely that Dortmund was angered by the numerous complaints and obstruction from other clubs in the league during the initial loan period, which led to the press conference.

This timely transfer has made Bartomeu look like a complete clown. He already had few Barcelona fans, and now his supporters have plummeted.

"Bartomeu is an idiot!"

A Barcelona fan pointed at the reporter's camera and angrily said, "An idiot is an idiot!"

"Hey, calm down!"

The reporter tried to persuade them, but the fans outside Camp Nou remained unmoved.

"Why can't Bartomeu do anything right? Is this how a club president should do things?"

The fans were clutching their Barcelona jerseys.

This is a counterfeit jersey with "TangYe" printed on the back, clearly indicating that this Barcelona fan is a loyal supporter of Tang Ye.

After pursuing it for so many seasons, it slipped away just when it was within reach. No normal person could accept this outcome.

"Bartomeu, you're just clinging to that 30% weekly wage. Let's see how long this idiot chairman can last."

A fan behind shouted.

……

The Sun's front-page headline: TY's chartered private jet is parked at Manchester Airport.

"This plane was definitely chartered by TY's agent, and its destination is most likely Germany. The player himself should have already been informed of the failed appeal."

With his contract with Dortmund already signed, and considering the requests from reporters and fans, Manchester United held a small press conference in the conference room at Carrington training ground, where Tang Ye clearly stated his departure.

"Well... I'll stay in the Bundesliga for at least one season, and at most... I think the contract will be extended to two seasons, no more. But whether it's one or two seasons is confidential information and I can't reveal it. However, what I can confirm is that after my contract with Dortmund expires, I will still be a Manchester United player."

Tang Ye emphasized this point.

When he renewed his contract, he signed a very long contract with Manchester United, which would last until the summer transfer window of 2024. Otherwise, he would not have been able to get the basic weekly wage of £50.

He will return in two years, at which time Tang Ye will still have two years left on his contract with Manchester United.

Will you feel regret?

"...I don't know what to say. I'm furious, but I know these are the rules. I feel these rules are unreasonable, but I have no choice."

Tang Ye sighed and left the room amidst the incessant clicking of reporters' cameras.

"Tom"

Dembele and Rodri leaned against the outside wall, waiting for Tang Ye to finish his interview.

"Don't be like this, it's okay, it's not your fault."

Rodri put his hand on Tang Ye's shoulder. To be honest, neither he nor Dembele were very good at comforting people, so they could only do their best.

"It's just one season, one season. You can play in the Bundesliga for a year and then come back."

Rodri comforted him.

A season may seem like a long time, but upon closer inspection, it doesn't seem to be unacceptably long.

After all, Tang Ye has been playing professionally for 5 years now.

Where is Mr. Eric?

Tang Ye suddenly asked.

Dembele didn't know, so he looked at Rodri, who pointed upstairs.

Tang Ye has confirmed his temporary departure, which has forced Manchester United's coaching staff to make temporary adjustments to their transfer plans and tactics for the new season, causing great distress to Ten Hag and Van der Gaghe.

Tang Ye went to find him.

Upon seeing Tang Ye approach, Teng Hahe covered his eyes with his hand and tried to make his movements appear as natural as possible.

But this could not escape Tang Ye's eyes.

I never expected Ten Hach to do this.

Of course, Tang Ye wouldn't say much.

"..."

I'm leaving tomorrow.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Ye spoke.

Ten Hach and Van der Gach nodded in agreement, and Van der Gach then invited Tang Yelai to sit down on the sofa.

“We might need to find a temporary replacement player after you leave, so we wanted to ask about…”

"Oh, it's okay, I don't mind, it's fine."

"Yes, I know. We just wanted to ask you, what do you think of Bruno?"

"Bruno? Isn't he a bit too old?"

Tang Ye thought Van der Gach was referring to his former teammate Bruno, but it turned out Van der Gach was talking about a different Bruno.

"Fernandez, what do you think of Fernandez?"

"Oh! He's amazing. I've watched him play; he's the Portuguese league champion."

Tang Ye pondered, "His passing is good, but he loses possession, haha, a bit like me when I played in the Eredivisie and La Liga."

Fernandez is almost a replica of Tang Ye in the Dutch Eredivisie, or a weaker version of Tang Ye in La Liga.

Fernandez's main problem is losing possession of the ball, a problem that Tang Ye can solve with dribbling, but the Portuguese player does not have Tang Ye's dribbling ability.

"I think it's alright, but of course it mainly depends on you guys. I'm just saying this is my own opinion."

Tang Ye shrugged, the change of topic improving his previously bad mood.

"I sense that you're getting agitated?"

Van der Gach suddenly spoke up because he noticed that Tang Ye's eyes were bloodshot.

"I've started taking this medication. It causes emotional agitation and sometimes makes me silent. I haven't taken it in a long time, haha."

Tang Ye seemed to have forgotten the sad things from before and said goodbye to van der Gahetenhach.

"..."

Modern medicine is truly amazing.

Watching Tang Ye's retreating figure, Van der Gach sighed.

Noticing that Ten Hach remained silent, Van der Gach turned his gaze to him again: "Eric?"

Ten Hag remained silent. The Dutch coach propped his head up with his hands, rested his elbows on the table, and looked in the direction Tang Ye had left.

"Oh, Eric, how did you get infected by Tom..."

Van der Gach thought Ten Hach was daydreaming, but when he looked up, he realized he was lost in thought.

Eric cried.

...UEFA Champions League official: The 2019-20 UEFA Champions League Player of the Year is Manchester United midfielder Tang Ye.

German journalist: The fee for TY to loan Dortmund for one season should be around 55 million euros, which will most likely include a one-year extension clause, but the conditions for activating the extension clause are currently unclear.

"It is certain that Dortmund will cover 100% of TY's weekly wage, which is one of the reasons why Manchester United ultimately reached a deal with Dortmund."

Kicker – Dortmund are interested in signing Birmingham City's talented midfielder Bellingham, who is one of their targets in this summer transfer window.

Including Tang Ye's annual salary of nearly 3000 million euros, Dortmund has already spent more than 1 million euros in the summer transfer window this season.

€1 million isn't a lot for a European powerhouse, but at this point in the pandemic, Dortmund is currently the only team willing to spend that much money.

With Tang Ye and Bellingham combined, it can only be said that Eskeriva's plan was relatively scientific.

Loan an established player as a safety net, then try your luck in the Championship (although Bellingham's chances are a bit expensive).

Sky Germany: Dortmund's summer transfer window plans will plunge the club into an even deeper debt spiral, and they will pay a heavy price if they fail to win the Bundesliga title this season.

A German radio station borrowed a Chinese idiom to describe Dortmund's summer transfer window activities.

【burn one's boats】

……

Dortmund official announcement: TangYe has joined the team on loan, wearing the number 10 jersey, for a period of 1+1 years.

According to Dongqiudi, Romano reports that Birmingham City's talented midfielder Bellingham has transferred to Borussia Dortmund for a fee of €2800 million.

On the plane, Tang Ye lay alone, contemplating life.

[Season rewards are being calculated...]

coming!

Tang Ye suddenly jumped out of bed, startling the people accompanying him.

The new season's results are in!

Tang Ye already has a Champions League title this season, so barring any unforeseen circumstances, the reward should be very generous.

You have gained... 30000 Comeback Points

[Senior Citizen Card: You receive an additional 20% bonus: 6000 Comeback Points]

You have earned a total of 36000 comeback points.

With the system rewards and what he already had, Tang Ye's current balance has reached over 4. As far as he can remember, this should be the richest he has ever been, without exception.

With enough money, Tang Ye's first thought was naturally to spend it, since there would be no interest if it were kept in the system.

[Spend 20000 Comeback Points to purchase German (Proficient)]

"..."

As before, the price of a language will increase as you purchase more languages.

The price of a language that originally cost 1000 "comeback points" has now risen to 20000, which is ridiculously expensive.

Although it's a huge sum of 4, 2 is still a considerable amount.

Tang Ye fell into deep thought.

Do you want to change it?
After hesitating for about half a minute, Tang Ye made his decision.

Too expensive! I'm not buying it!
"Help me sign up for a German class."

Tang Ye said to his assistant.

With zero points, you've mastered German; it's time to show off your talent.

"There's really no need for that, sir."

the assistant said.

"What, you don't believe in my learning ability? I learned German in just one month, and I'll be able to conduct the interview directly in German."

"No, no, sir, of course I believe you, it's just..."

"It seems like Dortmund's starting lineup only has two Germans, so they can speak English..."

wow?

……

Dortmund training base, today is Tang Yelai's first day reporting for duty.

As they got out of the unlicensed car, the reporters outside the base were already ready.

Tang Ye gave a few simple thumbs-up gestures to the camera, and then walked into the base led by the staff.

Dortmund rented a luxury house for Tang Ye that was close to the training base, but for a professional player, where he lived was not the most important thing; what mattered was the training environment inside the base.

Upon arriving at the main building entrance, Dortmund's director Zorc and head coach Eskrima stood together, flanked by several of the club's top executives.

Mr. Ferran

Tang Ye gave Escribá a hug, and the Spanish coach patted Tang Ye's back repeatedly. His eyes were red, but thankfully there were no tears.

If anyone asks what it means to have one's wishes fulfilled, Ferran Eskeriva is definitely the person who can best answer that question right now.

Welcome to Dortmund (German)

"what?"

He said, "Welcome to Dortmund!"

Eskeriva translated Zorc's words for Tang Ye.

"Haha, come with us, let's see your jersey and the training environment (in German)."

Led by Zorc and Eskriva, Tang Ye arrived at the press conference room, received the Dortmund number 10 jersey from Eskriva, and the club photographer took a bunch of photos of Tang Ye, which will be used as official photos later.

……

Dortmund official website: Welcome, Tang Ye! (in Chinese)
[Awesome!!!]

[Unsolicited comments from Dortmund fans!]

[Escribá: We did not attempt a trade because the deal was already completed]

Bayern Munich spent half their lives manipulating the Chinese market, but in the end, Dortmund figured it out.

[Luxury mansion + driver + Mercedes S-Class, Dortmund has really gone all out!]

These specs look impressive, but in reality, they can be done for 150 million euros a year. It's like focusing on the sesame seeds while ignoring the watermelon. Tang Ye's monthly salary alone is more than 150 million euros...

After taking his official photos, Tang Ye chatted briefly with the coach and club staff before heading to the training ground wearing his number 10 jersey.

Dortmund's players were already prepared.

Tang Ye shook hands with Reus, then Haaland said, "Erling!"

Tang Ye knows Haaland, but he won't bring up the two matches where he met Haaland, because Manchester United thrashed Dortmund back then...

Welcome to Dortmund

Haaland was exceptionally enthusiastic, picking Tang Ye up from the ground, while Bellingham and the other teammates applauded.

"Ha ha!"

The atmosphere was relaxed, but in a corner unnoticed by the camera, Eskeriva had a serious expression and was under tremendous pressure.

While others only saw Tang Ye joining Dortmund, head coach Eskriva saw a pessimistic side.

Haaland, a tall center forward who can't head the ball, has absolutely no idea what dribbling is.

Bellingham, a high-cost lottery ticket costing 3000 million euros, loses possession as soon as opponents get physical, their attacking efficiency is ridiculously low.

Pogba, a defensive midfielder with no discipline and no defensive awareness.

There's also GGBond, who just landed and doesn't understand anything.

"Hey……"

Eskeriva sighed.

He began to doubt himself again, questioning whether his player recruitment choices were correct.

This configuration...

They don't look like they can win at all...
