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

Chapter 643 Dezhou's Turnaround Price Breaks Historical Record Again, Eskeriva's Secret

"You impose the fine, you impose the fine."

The Chelsea goalkeeper pointed at Tang Ye, who shrugged and then walked away.

Tang Ye is just one goal away from a hat-trick today, but Haaland is Dortmund's first-choice penalty taker.

The main reason is that Tang Ye knows that his penalty-taking ability is about the same as Haaland's, and it would be very inappropriate to compete for penalty-taking position when the difference in ability is not significant.

Should I kick it?

Haaland raised an eyebrow.

After hearing the news that Tang Ye was coming, he was prepared to give up the penalty kick, but he didn't expect Tang Ye to refuse.

"come on"

Tang Ye patted Haaland's shoulder.

"call……"

Haaland stood in the penalty area, while the goalkeeper jumped around, his eyes full of provocation towards Haaland.

"Bring out your team's best player!"

Mendy shouted, and Haaland turned his head away to stay calm.

"Beep!!!"

boom!
Mendy unleashed a powerful shot, perfectly anticipating Haaland's movement and successfully blocking it.

Wow!!!

Chelsea saved the penalty! The score is still 3-3!

"Hey, Haaland!"

"Actually, the quality of that penalty kick was quite high, but Mendy was in very good form today."

After the penalty was saved, the Chelsea players in the penalty area jumped up and down to celebrate in Haaland's face. The Dortmund striker just stood there on the grass, speechless for a long time.

"it's okay no problem"

Tang Ye patted Haaland's shoulder: "It's a small problem, it's nothing."

"call……"

Haaland covered his face with his hands.

懂球帝战报：唐业2射1传，哈兰德失点，新赛季欧冠首轮多特客场3：3战平切尔西。（评论数82395）

Tang Ye shouldn't have given in...

[Mendy was purely lucky with that goal. Even if you had Tang Ye, he wouldn't have scored. Besides, isn't Haaland the first-choice penalty taker?]

I just feel like Dortmund's roles aren't clearly defined. Haaland's eyes look like he's doubting whether he's the first-choice penalty taker. Emery, what are you doing?

A draw against Chelsea is already a great achievement; don't expect too much. No team in the Premier League has drawn with Chelsea this season.

Back in the locker room, the usually cheerful Haaland fell silent, a painful blow for the Dortmund striker.

He missed the penalty kick.

The most crucial point is that he didn't miss an ordinary penalty, but a penalty that could have directly reversed the score.

"Erling! It's alright!"

Tang Ye patted Haaland on the back: "You played well."

"I should have let you do the punishment..."

"Hey, I don't always make my free throws, don't feel guilty."

Tang Ye pushed Haaland into his seat and pressed him down to sit. Reus also came over, and the two Dortmund big brothers sat on either side of Haaland.

Despite his tall stature, Haaland is still a rookie, having played in the top five European leagues for less than a year.

The top five leagues have a large number of fans, and the pressure you have to endure playing here is incomparable to that of other leagues.

"We all sent you to play football, and you didn't score. That's not your problem, it's everyone's problem. We all take responsibility for it, okay, Erling?"

Reus put his hand on Haaland's shoulder: "Just score next time. We only drew one game, we're not out of the game."

"A reporter wants to interview you, Tom!"

Hearing Matty's voice, Tang Ye stood up from his seat and punched Haaland's thick arm with his fist before leaving: "It's okay, Erling, just beat them at home."

Click, click, click!

"Congratulations, Tom, on your two goals and one assist in your first Champions League match of the new season!"

The reporter's congratulations did not bring a smile to Tang Ye's face, because Dortmund did not win today.

"You conceded a penalty in the final moments, when you were just one goal away from a hat-trick. Could you please explain why you did that?"

"..."

Tang Ye looked up at the reporter and said, "Haaland is our first-choice penalty taker."

"But he missed the penalty."

"Everyone misses penalties. Ronaldo missed, Messi missed, I missed, everyone misses. My penalty-taking ability is about the same as Haaland's. He's the first-choice penalty taker, so he should take it."

Click!

The reporter captured key information.

Tang Ye doesn't seem to have any intention of taking the first penalty kick.

"You don't want the first penalty taker. Is that related to the fact that you're a loan player? Is it your own decision or the coach's?"

"..."

Tang Ye sighed, "It's probably related to both, but I think it was the right thing to do. It was just a mistake by Erlin."

Upon returning to England, local football journalists had many questions for Tang Ye, including the continuation clause in his contract.

In order to get Dortmund to pay 100% of Tang Ye's loan salary, Manchester United agreed to include a +1 year clause in the loan contract.

Judging from Manchester United's generous attitude, the conditions for activating this continuation clause must be quite stringent, and reporters and fans are curious about what this clause contains.

Unfortunately, Tang Ye did not answer.

"It seems like the Golden Globe Awards will be canceled this year..."

"I know that's what you want to ask, but there's nothing I can do about it; it's not something I can decide."

……

Repost: When Haaland was about to take the penalty, Mendy pointed at Tang Ye, indicating that Tang Ye should take it.

Sky Sports interviewed Tang Ye: This was just a mistake by Haaland; he is an excellent penalty taker.

Dortmund Official: Hello! (Chinese) (.jpg)

Dortmund officially released photos of Zhang Yuning reporting to the training base, and judging from the photos, Zhang Yuning's expression was quite excited.

Although he rarely gets playing time, he is officially listed as a Borussia Dortmund player on the FIFA website.

According to local reporters, Zhang Yuning mainly plays the role of a sparring partner at Dortmund, and if he performs well, he may be able to serve as a substitute in the German Cup or Bundesliga matches.

CCTV sports commentator Zhan Jun: Zhang Yuning's transfer to Dortmund should be to prepare for the 2021 Asian Cup qualifiers.

Sports Weekly – Borussia Dortmund has registered Zhang Yuning for the Bundesliga, German Cup, Champions League, and the German Regional League (Dortmund II). It appears highly likely that Zhang Yuning will participate in the German Regional League with Dortmund II to maintain his competitive form.

Zhan Jun's analysis is not unreasonable. Although Zhang Yuning is not playing, participating in Dortmund's first team training will greatly help improve his abilities.

It may seem like Zhang Yuning sacrificed a lot, but in reality, he gained a lot.

Because Zhang Yuning was a complete benchwarmer in his previous Championship team, the kind who never got to play a single game. Now that he's at Dortmund, even if he performs poorly and doesn't make it to the Bundesliga, Zhang Yuning can easily find a spot on the reserve team of the other side.

In addition, because the Bundesliga ranks much higher than the Championship, Zhang Yuning will receive a subsidy of 450 million RMB per year from the "Sun Project," which is a huge profit.

...“Brother Ning”

Tang Ye and Zhang Yuning, who had come to report, clapped hands and hugged each other.

Although I spend most of my time abroad, it's really comfortable to be able to chat in Chinese at the Dortmund training base.

Do you have a place to stay?

Tang Ye and Zhang Yuning walked towards the training field, but Tang Ye did not mention anything about the training.

"I'm staying in a hotel for now. I'm looking for a place to rent. I speak German, so communication will be quite easy."

Zhang Yuning previously played for Werder Bremen, and although he didn't make many appearances, he genuinely learned German.

"Then you can live with me, my place is quite empty."

"Won't this be a disturbance?"

"No, I probably wouldn't hear you even if you shouted; the rooms are quite far apart."

Tang Ye said that the villa Dortmund rented for him was quite large, enough to house 10 people: "And this way you can go to work with me, it's very close, only 10 minutes away."

"They even arranged a driver for you, it only takes 10 minutes to get there!?"

Zhang Yuning's eyes widened. He knew a lot about Tang Ye because, like other fans, he often browsed news about Tang Ye on Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports betting platform).

"Looks like I really need to focus on playing better."

Zhang Yuning sighed.

The benefits Dortmund provided for Tang Ye already exceeded his annual salary; the difference was simply too great.

Tang Ye pushed Zhang Yuning towards the training field: "Go for it, Brother Ning!"

On the training field, Haaland and Zhang Yuning stood together.

Zhang Yuning is very strong, but he looks tiny next to Haaland. The difference isn't just in height, but also in muscle mass.

"This is Haaland Jr."

Tang Ye pointed to Zhang Yuning, who was chatting happily with Haaland in German.

Haaland's German is not as good as Zhang Yuning's, but in any case, both of them speak better German than Tang Ye.

"Erlin"

Zhang Yuning held Haaland's hand tightly.

Learning from Haaland during team training, Zhang Yuning knew this was an opportunity for him to improve.

"Do you know why he's called 'Little Haaland'? Because his technique is similar to yours, but Zhang can head the ball."

Tang Ye put his hand on Harland's shoulder and said in a mysterious tone.

"Well?"

Haaland's mouth bulged out, he raised an eyebrow, and chuckled: "I'm Zhang Yuning."

"Ha ha!"

……

Dortmund's next opponent is Schalke 04.

Schalke 04 doesn't seem to be at their best this season, but Schalke is a team with a rich history, and Dortmund needs to take them seriously.

[De Bruyne's cross from the byline lv5: Replica (Beyond the current state)]

Proficiency: 3274/3500
……

Proficiency: 3412/3500
Tang Ye was happily practicing his cross-field skills when news from Transfermarkt broke just as the match against Schalke 04 was about to begin.

Due to the pandemic, the update of player valuations on Transfermarkt for European leagues has been postponed.

The website's homepage features a photo of Tang Ye leading his Manchester United teammates to lift the Champions League trophy.

League champions and Champions League winners have always benefited from increased market value, not to mention that Manchester United were quadruple winners last season.

The headline of Diario Sport: The latest transfer market value update shows that Champions League winners Manchester United have seen their value increase by €1.4 million (including the loaned-out TY).

Manchester United players' market value has increased significantly. As for exactly how much they have increased, you don't need to specifically click on the Manchester United logo on the website to find them one by one; just open the world rankings.

Transfermarkt, World Ranking of Football Players by Market Value (10.24):
1. Tang Ye (Manchester United, Dortmund, China), €2.6 million.

2. Kylian Mbappé (Paris, France), €1.8 million.

3. Rodri (Manchester United, Spain), €1.5 million.

4. Ousmane Dembélé (Manchester United, France), €1.4 million.

5. Frenkie de Jong (Manchester United, Netherlands), €1.3 million.

6. Neymar...

……

14. Haaland (Dortmund, Norway), €1 million.

Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar, three evergreen players on Transfermarkt, have all seen their market value reduced. You can no longer find Argentinians and Portuguese players in the 100 million euro range.

In addition, Mbappe's market value has also dropped.

This latest valuation update has the potential to usher in a new era for football.

The aging of top players is one factor, and the economic problems brought to the football industry by the pandemic are another.

Despite the drop in market value, as a four-time champion, the market value of all Manchester United players has skyrocketed (except for Ashley Young, who has already left the club).

I don't quite agree with the claim that Tangye's stock price only increased by 2000 million.

[Messi and Ronaldo both dropped by 2000 million, while my King Tang has jumped by 2000 million, isn't that a 4000 million increase?]

[Messi and Ronaldo? Even combined, they can't beat Mbappe.]

[Dembele is worth at least 1.8 million, okay? I feel Dembele and Mbappe are on the same level, provided they don't play games.]

[Dembele and Rashford are really ridiculous. Go watch Manchester United's games this season, Rashford is lying on the ground (.jpg)]

"They're still first in the Premier League, what's the panic? Rodri will solve everything. But they're probably out of the Champions League; Manchester United's attack is like they're sleepwalking."

Besides European leagues, the market value of Chinese players is also worth noting. Wu Lei, who plays for Villarreal, has seen his Transfermarkt value exceed 1200 million euros, reaching the highest level since his debut.

If Wu Lei and Escobar meet again, Wu Lei must bow his head and thank Escobar. The Spanish coach is Wu Lei's true benefactor!

"dong dong"

"Mr. Ferran!"

Tang Ye knocked on the door of Eskeriva's office, and after hearing the sounds coming from inside, he pushed the door open and went in.

There was only one person named Marty in the office.

"Oh, Tom, are you looking for Ferran? Wait a moment."

Tang Ye sat down in the chair, and Marty typed rapidly on the computer keyboard before running out: "Ferland went to the bathroom, just wait here for a bit."

"Okay, Marty, you can go now."

Tang Ye leaned back in his office chair, swaying back and forth, waiting for Eskeriva to arrive.

Tang Ye sat down at the head coach's office chair and started fiddling with the computer, which displayed the match plan prepared by Mati.

Tang Ye's attention was quickly drawn to a document on the computer desk.

A thin plate of white A4 paper lay flat on the table.

"Ok?"

Because there were no words on the cover of the document, Tang Ye opened it directly.

He then realized it was Eskeriva's contract with the club. Just as he was about to close it, Tang Ye's keen eyes noticed a line in the contract.

[Party A (Borussia Dortmund) will fulfill Party B's (Ferran Escribá) transfer request, namely, to loan Tang Ye to Manchester United for at least one season.]

[Party B promises to win the Bundesliga title]

If the promise is not fulfilled, Party B shall voluntarily terminate the coaching contract with Party A (Party A shall not be required to pay any penalty), and Party B shall return all of its salary and bonuses for the 2020-21 season to compensate Party A for its losses incurred in player loaning.

"call……"

It was a photocopy. Tang Ye held it in his hand, staring at the black text on the document, his expression unchanged for a long time.
