Chapter 660 Phil Foden's fishing rod, Eskriwatenhach mutual NTR?

Dongqiudi Match Report: In the third round of the German Cup, Dortmund defeated Paderborn 3-2, with Tang Ye spending most of his time on the bench. (52732 comments)

"Nice!"

Tang Ye gave a high five to Bellingham and Pogba, who came off the field.

"To be honest, that was a bit dangerous."

Bellingham shrugged helplessly.

To only win 3-2 against a German second division team is, frankly, a rather poor score.

Dortmund were only leading by one goal when they played Bayern Munich before.

"Haha, as long as we win, that's all that matters."

Tang Ye and Bellingham returned to the locker room together.

The first match of February has ended, and there are currently 5 matches left this month.

"This includes four Bundesliga matches and one Champions League match. TY, in the 2018-19 Champions League season, your Manchester United team fell in the quarterfinals, and the team that defeated you was Paris Saint-Germain."

Although he didn't play, Tang Ye still became the subject of interviews by reporters.

To be fair, Tang Ye is indeed quite good, because players actually have the right to refuse some reporters' invitations for post-match interviews, but Tang Ye himself rarely refuses.

This is because post-match interviews are also part of the training. After all, given Tang Ye's current size, he has to be careful with what he says.

"But was the loss due to Marcus's injury?"

"Hmm... I don't think it's entirely Marcus's fault. Marcus is excellent, but we did have a lot of things we didn't do well back then. But it's okay, we won the championship in the 19-20 season."

Tang Ye said, "That match made us take the Champions League much more seriously."

"You didn't face Paris in the Champions League last season, so will you take this opportunity to get revenge on Paris this season?"

"Ha ha!"

The reporter's words made Tang Ye laugh: "It's not exactly revenge... but we'll find a way to win."

……

The front page headline of "Mundo Deportivo" – In the latest round of Transfermarkt market valuations, TY remains number one, Mbappe returns to the 2 million euro range, Manchester United's valuations generally decrease, and Bellingham sees the largest increase.

Transfermarkt, World Ranking of Football Players by Market Value (2021.2.04):
1. Tang Ye (Manchester United, Borussia Dortmund, China), €2.6 million. (-)

2. Kylian Mbappé (Paris, France), €2 million. (↑€2000 million)

3. Rodri (Manchester United, Spain), €1.4 million. (↓€1000 million)

4. Erling Haaland (Dortmund, Norway), €1.4 million (up €4000 million)

5. Ousmane Dembélé (Manchester United, France), €1.2 million. (↓€2000 million)

6. Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur, England), €1.2 million. (-)

7. Paul Pogba (Borussia Dortmund, France), €1.1 million. (↑€2000 million)

……

18. Bellingham (Dortmund, England), €7500 million. (↑€5000 million)

Only a small number of players can increase their market value by 50 million euros in less than four months, and Bellingham is one of them.

As for why Bellingham's price has increased so much, some football experts have suggested that it may be due to the excellent strength of Dortmund's midfield.

Partnering with midfielders Tang Ye and Pogba, both worth hundreds of millions of euros, the inherently talented Bellingham has successfully played like a player worth hundreds of millions of euros.

The market value of players on a team can influence each other, and the influence between midfielders is the most obvious.

Basically, if there are two really tough midfielders in the team, the value of the other midfielders, or their performance on the field, will increase significantly.

With this latest transfer market valuation update, it's unclear who won, but it's obvious who lost.

At Old Trafford, fresh from the defeat in the Manchester derby, Ten Hag is being interviewed by reporters in the stands.

"In this latest Transfermarkt market update, Manchester United players' valuations have generally decreased. Although the decreases are not large, the total decrease for the team's 20 players has reached €1.9 million, ranking first in the world. Eric, what are your thoughts on this?"

"Hmm, I think..."

Do you think this is the reason why Manchester United's performance this season is not as good as last season?

Before Ten Hach could even open his mouth, the reporter pressed on with another question, trying to gain the upper hand in the interview.

"That's certainly part of the reason; it definitely exists."

Ten Hach was quite straightforward and did not directly refute the reporter's point of view.

Raising his right hand to a position slightly higher than his forehead, Ten Hag seemed to be comparing his height to thin air: "Last season, Manchester United reached a relatively high position, a position that other teams couldn't reach. After reaching that position, our players naturally gained recognition in the transfer market. But what I want to say is that this position is not something that can be reached easily, even for Manchester United this season."

Ten Hach means.

Manchester United went a bit too far last season.

"So you mean that Manchester United players' market value was inflated last season?"

"No! Of course not, that's the real Manchester United, that's what Manchester United at its best should be like."

"As for this season... the fact is, the team's performance is inconsistent. Even a team that can dominate an era has its relatively strong and relatively weak periods. Well, these are all within a reasonable range."

"Can Manchester United win the Champions League this season? Achieve a back-to-back title? Eric, you've already led Manchester United to a revival, so can you lead them to even greater heights?"

"Of course, that goes without saying. That's what I came to Manchester United to do."

Click, click, click!

Just as Ten Hah finished speaking, his cell phone rang in his pocket.

【Tom】

"Well, I need to discuss tomorrow's FA Cup match with the coaching staff, so I have to leave now. I'm really sorry."

Ten Hagh stood up.

"What kind of coach do you think Van der Gaël is? Is he capable of being the manager of a team in one of the top five European leagues?"

Click, click, click!

"Eric, can you answer my question?"

Arriving at the locker room entrance.

"Suckling, Eric! Suckling, come here, come here."

Ten Hach: ?

Push the door open and go in.

Okay, actually, the Ten Hag they were talking about in the locker room wasn't Eric Ten Hag, but rather the French Bulldog Eric.

This was Manchester United's fourth manager in last season's Champions League, and they were also one of the Champions League winners.

"Haha, Eric, come here!"

Rodri picked up little Eric and suddenly realized that Ten Hach was right in front of him: "Oh, Mr. Eric."

Rodri was a little embarrassed.

To be honest, the name Tang Ye gave the French Bulldog was really too abstract.

Because of this French Bulldog, Manchester United players feel awkward when calling Ten Hag by his name.

"Okay, everyone, please be quiet for now. I have a few things to say."

Ten Hag slowly walked towards the center of the locker room.

The tactical meeting was about to begin, and Rodri quickly carried the little French Bulldog outside.

Seemingly reluctant to leave the locker room, Eric called out twice just as he was about to leave.

"Wang Wang!"

"Hey, stop it, Eric! If you keep making noise, I won't let you into the locker room anymore."

The Sun's front-page headline: Rashford photographed enjoying himself with two blonde women at a nightclub; player's latest market value drops by €20 million.

Sports Weekly – AMD Ryzen officially announces Tang Ye as its global brand ambassador.

GamerSky: Football superstar makes a strong debut! Tang Ye may become the promotional ambassador for the 2021 Major (CS League).

Tang Ye has become the spokesperson for AMD processors; this has been officially announced and confirmed.

As for the 2021 CS:GO league, that's just speculation among fans and gamers. After all, the venue for the 2021 Major hasn't even been confirmed yet, so confirming Tang Ye's status as a spokesperson at this point is a bit premature. However, to be honest, both Tang Ye and Neymar are big fans of CS:GO. If they could both be brought on board, wouldn't the Major league be able to directly recover from the pandemic?

The attributes have been improved once again.

This is where talent comes into play.

Tang Ye used to have to put in a lot of effort to increase his physical strength from 79 to 80, but now he has not encountered much difficulty in increasing it from 88 to 89.

When Tang Ye first arrived at the base this morning, his measurements were 182cm and 77kg.

My height isn't increasing, but my weight is getting bigger and bigger.

If you think that the weight gain in GGBond is mostly fat, then you are very wrong!

Pigs also have muscles, and it just so happens that all of Tang Ye's growth is muscle!

Account balance: 1.92 comeback points.

The Champions League knockout stage is about to begin, and Tang Ye still has many untapped potential for a comeback.

Between buying a basic template from the store and opening an item lottery, Tang Ye chose the lottery without hesitation.

With an overall rating of 94 and a FIFA rating of 96, low-level templates are completely useless to Tang Ye.

[Spend 8000 Comeback Points to unlock the purchase privilege for new items?]

You have obtained Philforden's fishing rod.

[Phil Foden's Fishing Rod: Passive Item, grants Foden's left and right foot dribbling templates (Superstar) upon activation]

really!

Spending tens of thousands of points to buy things in a store is a very foolish thing to do; wealth is accumulated through luck!
[You have obtained Foden's left and right foot dribbling templates (Superstar)]

[Position: 92 → 93]

I unlocked a new superstar template and once again experienced the feeling of having my skull opened and being filled with energy.

However, unlike before, this kind of superstar template no longer has a very obvious effect on Tang Ye.

after all……

Well, right now there probably isn't a more exaggerated role model in the entire football world than Tang Ye himself.

Tang Ye pulled his attention away from the system, kicked off his slippers, lay down on the sofa, and opened the message that Teng Hahe had sent him on his phone.

This is the starting lineup for Porto in the Champions League predicted by Ten Hag and Van der Gaghe.

Porto (4-4-2)

Goalkeeper: Marchesin

Defenders: Manafa, Mbemba, Pepe...

Head Coach: Conceição

Actually, Porto's starting lineup wasn't particularly strong, but Tang Ye looked at the information sent by Ten Hag and found that Porto was currently in first place in the Portuguese league and also had a good win rate in the Champions League group stage.

Then there is only one possibility.

Porto's tactics and the coordination between their players are excellent, which directly helps them close the gap in level with strong teams.

Squinting, Tang Ye recalled the Porto match videos he had watched before.

Then there's the video footage of Manchester United's matches this season.

The two recordings are completely different, and what Tang Ye needs to do is combine the contents of the two recordings and conduct a virtual game in his mind.

De Ligt passes the ball to De Jong, at which point Taremi and Oliveira will definitely come up to challenge for the ball, and unsurprisingly, the two of them will do it together.

Ok……

In Tang Ye's mind, Bruno Fernandes began to retreat, coming to a position almost level with Rodri.

Porto will definitely play a high press, so Bruno Fernandes needs to play deeper, otherwise Manchester United's goal will be in danger...

On the left is Rashford. I don't know why Rashford has been a bit off this season, but his basic speed is still there, so we can leave it at that...

"Tom!"

Eskeriva and Marty walked in together and found Tang Ye still in the physiotherapy room, so they greeted him.

Are you having trouble relaxing your muscles?

"Oh, no."

Tang Ye stretched and said, "I'm just resting here."

Tang Ye pointed to the TV: "My former teammate recommended a TV show to me, but I only watched half of it and then stopped."

"It's best to be patient."

Eskeriva sat down next to Tang Ye, watching the latter swipe his phone screen a few times before turning it off.

"We didn't make a single signing in the winter transfer window this season. I hope the fans won't criticize me."

Tang Ye suddenly spoke up, but Eskeriva did not speak. It was Matti who answered the question.

"Haha, you're overthinking it. Even if you're the only loaned fan we have this season, we won't say anything."

Marty raised an eyebrow at Tang Ye: "You underestimate your standing in the hearts of the fans!"

"It's mainly about the World Cup."

"That's all been constantly reported by the media, and it happened three years ago!"

Marty shook his head with a smile: "Fans are very realistic. Although Bayern fans keep criticizing you, think about it carefully. If you were loaned to Bayern, what would they think?"

"Wow, TY has come to Bayern! Bayern is awesome, TY is awesome!"

Marty mimicked the tone of a Bayern Munich fan, then put his hand on Tang Ye's shoulder: "Don't overthink it. Just be like you used to be. Be decisive. The most important thing is the result of the game."

"I think you're right."

Tang Ye and Mati gave each other a fist bump.

"I'm going to get something to drink first, then I'll get ready for afternoon training."

Tang Ye said goodbye to the two coaches and walked towards the rest room.

boom!
Marty also lay down on the sofa and started talking to Eskeriva: "This loan is just perfect, Ferran. Now you won't be scolded by the fans, right? I don't believe Bayern can still beat us now. Their defense can't stop our attack at all."

"..."

Eskeriva didn't speak, and a puzzled Matti turned his head away: "What's wrong?"

"Tom... is looking at Porto's starting lineup."

Eskeriva's eyes are bright; sensitive people are like that.

"Isn't this normal?"

"but……"

Escriva and Martí exchanged glances: "Porto's next match is against Manchester United..."

Marty shrugged: "Tom has tactical talent. Maybe Ferran asked him to help out. You can't stop him. This is his rest time."

"Hey……"

Eskeriva sighed.

Although it's not against the rules, but...

Eskeriva felt empty inside. He had a feeling of... well, being NTR'd?
Eskeriva finds himself in a strange relationship with Ten Hach.

That means mutual NTR.
