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

Chapter 734 The new Premier League season begins, and Great Britain once again witnesses the three-way battle for supremacy.
Manchester Evening News reporter: Ten Hag does not want to push for Ronaldo's transfer, but Manchester United's management hopes to use it to increase the team's commercial value, which is considered part of the club's mission.

As a manager who has won both the Champions League and the Premier League titles, Erik ten Hag still wields considerable influence within Manchester United's management.

However, in the case of Ronaldo, Ten Hag's opinion alone did not play a decisive role.

So the question is, if Ronaldo really joins, will he be able to play well as a center forward for Manchester United?
"First of all, we need to understand Manchester United's current lineup. Tom and Bruno are both top-class passers. In addition, Dembele, as a winger, has top-class passing ability among all Premier League wingers."

During an interview with Sky Sports, Ferdinand raised his right hand, horizontally above his head.

This gesture means "big," signifying the Manchester United legend's approval of the current players in the team.

"Although Ronnie is getting older and may not have the same sprinting ability as he did in 2008 and 2009, I still believe he is a top-class poacher. He can seize opportunities that others cannot."

Ferdinand maintained his consistent approach.

Aside from the diminutive Lisandro Martinez and the unpredictable Jesse Lingard, this Manchester United legend acknowledges every Manchester United player.

As Cristiano Ronaldo's former teammate, Ferdinand's support for the Portuguese player surpasses everything.

……

Wow!
Heavy rain fell at Carrington base.

"Damn, this rain is really heavy..."

Tang Ye took a deep breath and sat down with Dembele on a chair at the entrance of the cafeteria, looking out at the rain through the glass door.

I remember this was the biggest downpour Manchester United had experienced since returning from the United States.

Today is... August 12th!
Tang Ye can tell the time without looking at his phone.

Because the season is about to start, the off-season is like a student's holiday. Students on holiday don't know what day of the week it is. But the start of the season is like a student returning to school, who remembers the date very clearly.

This is because time has become more important for Tang Ye since the start of the season.

"The new season starts in two days."

Tang Ye whispered, chewing gum as he turned to look at Dembele.

Haha, you look very nervous.

Dembele mocked Tang Ye, saying, "We don't need to be so nervous about our strength."

Noticing that Tang Ye's expression was still not good, Dembele punched his teammate's arm with his fist: "Hey! What are you nervous about? Manchester City and Liverpool are just what the newspapers think they are strong. We are much stronger than them!"

Football newspapers in England and even Europe like to describe the new Premier League season as a "three-way battle," meaning a clash between Manchester United, Manchester City, and Liverpool.

However, some Manchester United supporters and players believe that this statement is inaccurate.

Isn't Manchester United much stronger than Manchester City and Liverpool?
No, that's not it.

Tang Ye shook his head: "It's about Cristiano, cough."

Tang Ye's emotions are somewhat complicated right now.

Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival has brought some uncertainty to Manchester United for the new season.

This uncertainty doesn't refer to the uncertainty of ability, but rather to something Tang Ye values ​​most: the uncertainty of the team's atmosphere.

What will Manchester United be like after Ronaldo arrives?
"Oh, you're scared!"

Dembele shrugged.

"No, no, no, it's not that I'm scared, it's just that I'm not sure what I'll encounter!"

"You're just scared!"

Dembele moved closer and pinched Tang Ye's flesh hard: "Don't be afraid, Tom, I'll protect you, haha!"

"Fuck, get out of here!"

"Ha ha!"

……

Pinned: 7 hours and 15 minutes until the start of the 21-22 Premier League season (Round 1: Southampton vs. Liverpool).

Betway website, Premier League title odds for the 21-22 season:
1. Manchester United, odds 1.72.

2. Manchester City, odds of 3.11.

3. Liverpool, odds 3.94.

4. Chelsea, odds 16.8.

5. Arsenal, odds of 38.0.

……

Judging from the odds, although Manchester United finished second in the league last season, as the four-time champions of the previous years, Manchester United still enjoys the trust of the fans.

As the saying goes, a dynasty will inevitably decline after its establishment, but it will never decline in a short period of time.

Tang Ye has returned this season, so the logic is clear.

The rattan armor dynasty will continue in the 21-22 season!

The other two options are Manchester City and Liverpool.

Although Manchester United is slightly behind in the odds, both teams are in good form.

Chinese commentators and experts have provided a detailed analysis of the new Premier League season, which they shared on Weibo and Dongqiudi.

The conclusion of the discussion is that the new Premier League season will still be a three-way battle.

But unlike the first Three Kingdoms period, this time Manchester United has transformed into the strongest side, while Manchester City and Liverpool are challenging Manchester United!

Let's see if there are any investment opportunities.

21-22 Premier League assist leader odds: TangYe (Manchester United) - 1 to 1.09.

21-22 Champions League assist leader odds: TangYe (Manchester United) -1 to 1.07.

hateful!

It's really abominable!
The new season doesn't start for another half a day, and I thought that if I made a move now, I would be invincible.

I didn't expect that the interest rate on wealth management products has dropped to 9%, which is less than 7% annualized after tax!
When Betway first opened the odds for the assist king, Tang Ye's odds were around 1:1.4. However, the influx of pounds and euros caused the odds to drop rapidly, and within two hours, they were less than 10 points.

As the saying goes, making money is all about information asymmetry, or rather, the lag in information dissemination.

If you lack foresight, it will be too late when you try to deposit your money into "GG Bonds"!

Yahoo金融：巴菲特手下的伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司（BRK）以500万美元的成本以1：1.44的赔率压住TY作为新赛季的英超联赛助攻王；另外他们还以1200万美元的成本以1：1.37的赔率压住同一名球员作为新赛季的欧冠助攻王。

"In an interview, Buffett said he would explain the rationale behind this purchase to shareholders at the shareholders' meeting."

"The World Cup is about to start, this is a good investment," these are Warren Buffett's own words.

Berkshire Hathaway bought $1700 million worth of GG bonds, marking the company's first involvement in sports betting outside of the World Cup and the European Championship.

Strictly speaking, however, this bet should be considered a financial strategy of Berkshire Hathaway.

So here's the question: Buffett isn't a professional football fan, so did he consider the potential losses Tang Ye's injury might cause to the company?

If that's your thinking, then you're obviously being too naive.

With the Qatar World Cup coming up next year, Buffett's move is essentially using $1700 million to buy advertising for Tang Ye, hoping that fans will come to Berkshire Hathaway to buy "World Cup winning insurance" (which is actually betting on the games) during next year's World Cup, thereby expanding the company's insurance business in 2022.

Furthermore, judging from the situation after the US stock market opened, Buffett's bold purchase attracted a large number of investors who like football, and Berkshire Hathaway's stock price rose by 3%, with its market value surging by $82 billion.

Forget about whether this 82 billion is a bubble or not, just tell me whether the price has gone up or down!
Sina Finance: With a stable annualized return of 9%, how can mainland Chinese people buy GG bonds?

[What the hell is this GG bond name? I'm speechless...]

Honestly, I really want to buy this.

I'm in Australia, so I can buy it directly, but Tang Ye hasn't had a major injury for six consecutive seasons, so I'll be more conservative this season. I only bought $1000 worth.

[A 9% annualized return on a $1000 investment? You'd barely make any money... Tang Ye may not have suffered any major injuries, but he's certainly had his share of minor ones.]

[Not everyone has to get hurt; Tang Ye's technical skills make him very difficult to injure.] [Hilarious! Some people think they know more about investing than Buffett. They claim that if they bought earlier, they'd have a 10% annualized return—that's unbeatable!]

The match between Southampton and Liverpool has already begun, and Manchester United's match is less than a day away.

While fans are eagerly anticipating Manchester United's new season debut at their companies or homes, China is far from quiet.

Local police in Xi'an have reported two fraud cases centered around "GG bonds".

Netizen A (pseudonym) posted on social media that he had a channel to buy "GG bonds" in China, which attracted netizens B and C (pseudonyms).

Netizen A claimed that he could help netizens B and C purchase "GG bonds" with an annualized return of up to 14%. However, after netizens B and C transferred 2 yuan and 14 yuan respectively to the so-called "safe account," netizen A disappeared.

Similar cases have occurred not only in Xi'an, but also in Shanghai and Tianjin, with the core fraudulent scheme being the same—I can get you to buy GG bonds in mainland China.

A 10% annualized return can indeed attract many greedy people, to the point that even the People's Daily has spoken out against it.

People's Daily -- Unveiling the Crazy GG Bonds: The so-called advantages are just a facade for speculation; on the other hand, A-shares broke through 3500 points and stood tall.

"What are your thoughts on the frenzy of buying GG bonds by fans both at home and abroad?"

Before the Manchester United vs. Leeds United match, Xinhua News Agency interviewed Tang Ye about bond issues.

“This isn’t the first time; it’s been happening for the past few years, and there’s nothing I can do about it because it’s not something I can control.”

"Um... to be honest, I don't really like the name 'bond'."

Tang Ye tilted his head, his expression helpless: "Because this money goes to the gambling company, it won't end up in my hands, so why is it in my bonds..."

"Ha ha!"

Rodri, standing nearby, accidentally chuckled: "Oh, sorry!"

"And Berkshire Hathaway, owned by Warren Buffett, also purchased your... fund?"

Xinhua News Agency reporters have changed the name of GG bonds.

"Tom, if it were you, and you had spare cash, would you buy your own fund?"

"We assume that the player himself can make the purchase."

"This one……"

Tang Ye shook his head: "I probably won't buy it because I think there are too many uncertainties involved. Investment products with an annualized return of more than 5% all have traps and are definitely risky."

Many England fans don't know that Tang Ye studied at Peking University.

Besides being a top player, Tom has another identity.

An undergraduate economics student at Peking University, and a master of economics!

However, after Tang Ye said he was not optimistic about GG bonds, a large number of fans immediately rushed to buy the bonds.

Like sports fans, stock market investors enjoy studying patterns.

In previous seasons in the Premier League, Tang Ye also mentioned that his "assist king investment project" carried significant risks.

The results of it?
GGBond is truly wicked. He keeps saying the risks are high and telling fans to calm down, but in reality, he's been the league and Champions League double assist leader every season since 2015-16.

Come on, Tom!

They're all your loyal fans, so don't keep the good stuff to yourself!

"Then...about Cristiano."

"We'll know next week."

Tang Ye smiled.

……

Opening poster: New season opener! Manchester United, the reigning dynasty, hosts newly promoted Leeds United, with Tang Yeling leading the starting lineup!

"China Media Group! Good evening, viewers. This is a live broadcast for you..."

"The match has already begun!"

"Yes, this is Leeds United's first game since being promoted to the Premier League, but to be honest, haha, Leeds United's luck has been a bit off."

"They're both 'leagues,' but the gap between Leeds United and their rivals might be a bit too big."

"Hey, Coach Zhan, you can't say that. Actually, I still think Leeds United will win. I'm not saying Leeds United can win, but getting some ideas from Manchester United shouldn't be a problem."

To support their assessment, the CCTV commentator highlighted two key points.

First, Tang Ye has just returned for the new season. Although he is the veteran captain, it will take some time for the team to reintegrate this "team soul".

Second, there is some suspicion of scientific research involved in this match, because judging from the lineup, Bruno Fernandes was placed on the left wing, while Rashford was moved to the center forward position.

In previous seasons, Ten Hag's attempts to position Rashford as a center forward all ended in failure.

But the team's special circumstances this season have forced the Dutchman to revive the overhaul plan!
"TangYe!"

Boom!

"TangYe!"

Boom!

Leeds United were still launching an attack when the director immediately zoomed in on the stands.

The Premier League champions are back!

[Four-time champions!]

[Tom, Guardiola is too arrogant! You must punish him!]

Manchester United fans have always had high expectations for Tang Ye, especially after their long-awaited reunion.

The combined presence of Manchester United's quadruple title-winning squad and the roar of the fans created a tense atmosphere in the stadium.

Of course, this is from Leeds United's perspective.

Nevertheless, as a newly promoted team, Leeds United still showed great fighting spirit.

Rodrygo passed the ball before Bruno Fernandes could rush over.

B. Lift your foot!

They defended very aggressively, but Bruno Fernandes couldn't predict Rodrigo's passing route.

Snapped!
The ball hit the grass, bounced up, and eventually reached Rafinha's feet.

Ready to go down!
Rafinha dribbled forward with his left foot.

"Oh!"

Manchester United reacted quickly; seeing that Rafinha was about to go down the wing, Rodri and Luke Shaw immediately took their positions.

Luke Shaw should defend Rafinha one-on-one first!

Slowly retreat, using your body to force Rafinia to slow down.

Rodri is observing.

Suddenly increase the pressure!
!

Rafinha quickly passed the ball towards the center, aiming for Harrison.

However, Tang Ye and De Jong were already running towards Harrison's position!

boom!
De Jong took the initiative and decisively kicked the ball forward.

The ball was precisely passed to Rashford, who was at the very front.

Wow!!!
