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

Chapter 741 FIFA Gets a New Parent Company, First Home Match of the Round of 12

30-man shortlist for the 2020 FIFA Ballon d'Or (in no particular order):
The first batch: Messi, Mane, Sterling, Bruno Fernandes...

The second batch: Cristiano Ronaldo, Dembele...

The third batch: Lewandowski, De Bruyne, Mbappe...

The fourth batch: Tang Ye, Van Dijk, Oblak...

Tier 5: Rodri, De Jong...

FIFA's plan to have France Football officially announce the 2020 Ballon d'Or awards is truly astounding.

This means that there could be two Globe winners this year!

A quick glance at the 30-man shortlist reveals that it's the same few familiar players.

Actually, if it were the 2020 Ballon d'Or selection, then the specific players on the shortlist wouldn't really matter.

Looking back over the past 12 months, Tang Ye's performance can only be described as unstoppable!

Sky Sports commentator Jansen: FIFA made the right choice. The 2020 competition was not actually affected by the pandemic too much (because many competitions were only postponed, not canceled). TY will win his second Ballon d'Or.

The Times editor: FIFA's practice of awarding the Ballon d'Or retroactively is worth considering.

“Under normal circumstances, the Ballon d'Or should not have been restarted after it was confirmed to be canceled, as this would clearly be a blow to FIFA’s credibility. The fact that FIFA ultimately chose to award the 2020 Ballon d'Or gives us reason to question Infantino’s motives.”

"FIFA wants to promote TY and completely end the Messi-Ronaldo era before the Qatar World Cup."

The editor-in-chief of The Times quickly gained fame with this tweet.

Putting aside everything else, this editor-in-chief demonstrated very strong logic when analyzing issues.

FIFA's decision to reissue last year's Ballon d'Or is a completely thankless and arduous undertaking.

Since they are willing to do this, there must be some underlying interest involved, and that interest must be enough to cover the losses caused by FIFA's loss of credibility.

Starting from this core point, if you then conduct an in-depth analysis of FIFA's practices, you will find that their glamorous exterior hides two bloody secrets.

【TY】

"At the age of 20, he won his first Ballon d'Or, becoming the youngest Ballon d'Or winner in history."

The editor-in-chief of The Times added in the comments section and pinned his own comment: "TY has shown us over three years that his performance in 2019 was not a flash in the pan, and that is the main reason why I think FIFA was willing to make concessions. They saw greater value in TY and were trying to break down the 'walls' of China, which is known as a football desert."

I've followed you; I'll come back and see if it's a prophecy.

Messi and Ronaldo must be feeling bad now.

[Wait a minute, if that's the case, wouldn't TY win two Ballon d'Or awards a year? This year's should be his too, right? Lewandowski and Haaland both seem a little lacking.]

[It's been said that FIFA wants to support TY. With powerful backers, what can you do? China is hosting the Asian Cup in 2023; that idiot Infantino can't possibly sit idly by.]

[You're not allowed to insult Infantino! Infantino is a hero to TY fans now!]

The No.1 trending topic: The 2020 Golden Globe Awards selection process has been restarted.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino stated in an interview: "The 2020 Ballon d'Or should indeed have been cancelled, but during our subsequent work, we discovered that *France Football* had already compiled a shortlist of 30 candidates and planned to hold a vote. If the award were cancelled after the shortlist had already been compiled, I think it would be unfair to the 30 players on that shortlist."

During the interview, Infantino always gave off a feeling of being wronged, as if FIFA had been deceived by France Football.

France Football failed in its own job, forcing FIFA to step in and explain itself!
However, fans aren't stupid. Even if they don't understand, they can go to YouTube and Bilibili to watch professional analyses.

Well, even people who aren't very professional can do it.

For example, Xiao Ming the Sword Demon.

"You even asked me why I gave Tang Ye a Golden Globe Award retroactively? Isn't that obvious?"

"Tang Ye is now Infantino's father, and he's been earning money for Infantino's baby formula."

"Are you telling me that FIFA has gone a bit too far in helping them?"

"Okay, then let me ask you!"

Xiao Ming, the Sword Demon, stares at the camera.

"If Dad's interests are harmed, shouldn't you, as his son, step in?"

"Or just watch your father lose the Golden Globe Award."

"As a son, how could you tolerate this?!"

"Some people also asked why I don't admire Messi or Ronaldo."

"Oh oh oh! Then let me ask you!"

Are Messi, Ronaldo, and Tang Ye all players of the same level?

"answer me!"

Xiao Ming's tone and expression were very fierce, which frightened many viewers in the live stream.

That's just how Aatrox players are; Darkin players are just more aggressive.

Netizens suggested that Xiaoming, the Sword Demon, try playing Rammus, so he wouldn't end up like Sword Demon and become a Darkin.

"The Portuguese and Argentine national teams have a lot of traffic... wait, why is someone still talking to me about this?"

"Then let me ask you!"

"Next year is the Qatar World Cup, and the year after is the Asian Cup in China. Find me a team with more viewership than China!"

"Hooray! Portugal has Cristiano Ronaldo, Argentina has Messi, and Ronaldo and Messi have more Instagram followers than Tang Ye!"

"Then let me ask you, how old is Cristiano Ronaldo? How old is Messi? And how old is Tang Ye?"

"If you give Tang Ye the same development time as Cristiano Ronaldo, wouldn't he have 20 billion fans?"

20 billion fans is honestly a bit of an exaggeration, but Xiaoming the Sword Demon successfully conveyed his meaning, and that's enough.

……

DL City Sports Center Stadium.

"Oh GGBond, be a hero in a fairy tale~"

"Oh, GGBond! My passion is boiling over!"

"Oh, GGBond, everything is in our hands~~"

"..."

Boom!

Bang bang bang!
The Chinese Football Association made an excellent decision by choosing Dalian as the first home game for the final 12 teams.

With Wanda's influence and policy support, Dalian has a particularly strong football atmosphere, and many fans are also staunch supporters of the national team.

Here, kicking a ball isn't called kicking a ball, but rather "rolling the ball".

I don't know why people refer to kicking a ball as "rolling the ball".

But it's all the same; the football atmosphere here is excellent, making it a rare "perfect home ground" for the national team.

"Coming! Coming, coming!"

"Tang Ye!"

"Holy crap, Tang Ye!"

The red bus slowly drove in, instantly causing a stir among the crowd.

"Um, thank you, thank you, haha!"

"King Tang, there's one more thing here!"

A fan handed him the shirt, which Tang Ye quickly took and then wrote his name on it.

"Can Tang Qiuwang crush Vietnam? He can just annihilate them!"

"Haha, we'll find out once the competition starts."

They are still very confident in defeating Vietnam's Tang Ye.

But now that we're facing fans and media cameras, we should be a little more conservative in what we say.

"Great, great, Tang, hurry back to the club after you finish Vietnam! Manchester United is aiming for the title!"

"The Ballon d'Or, are you likely to win two Ballon d'Or awards this year?"

It's unclear who asked about the Golden Globe Awards first, but the atmosphere immediately became much livelier, with everyone urging Tang Ye to respond.

The fan wrote the name on the shirt and handed it over: "Whose is this? This one. Hmm, okay."

"The Golden Globe Awards... I don't know about that either. I probably got the news around the same time as you guys, and I was probably still asleep when the news came out, so I probably found out about it later than you guys."

"So, will you win two Ballon d'Or awards this year? The King of Football should win two Ballon d'Or awards a year!"

"haha, thank you!"

Tang Yehe patted his fans on the fist and said, "I don't know if I can win it, but if I can, that would be great, haha."

Although he spoke rather conservatively, Tang Ye rarely hid his facial expressions.

Fans can clearly see that Tang Ye is visibly happy.

"Hey Tang, when you win your second Ballon d'Or, could you give me one?"

"Ha ha!"

Wow!!!

The onlookers started to jeer, and Tang Ye pointed at the man from Northeast China who had asked him for the Ballon d'Or trophy: "You're too greedy!"

"Ha ha!"

"but."

Tang Ye changed the subject abruptly: "If I win MVP today, I'll give the trophy to you." He placed his hand on the older brother's shoulder and earnestly advised, "So you have to cheer me on, brother!"

……

"Team China!"

"come on!"

"Team China!"

"come on!"

Red flags were waving in the stands as the players from both sides slowly walked out of the tunnel.

"China Media Group! Good evening, everyone..."

After the national anthem was sung, CCTV's live broadcast studio presented detailed statistics on both sides of the match.

中国：1胜0平0负，胜率100%，首发身价3.17亿欧元。

越南：0胜0平1负，胜率0%，首发身价472万欧。

CCTV somehow found a genius who was able to completely crush the opponent before the competition even started.

With a 100% win rate against a 0% win rate, the advantage is mine!
To be honest, the gap between China and Vietnam is still quite large.

Even if you remove Tang Ye's 3 million euros, the starting lineup of the Chinese team is still more valuable.

"Beep!!!"

Game start!
As the team that kicks off, the Chinese team immediately launched a fast break.

Elkeson passed the ball directly back to Jiang Guangtai.

coming soon!
The Chinese team players began to press forward aggressively.

Jiang Guangtai looked up and briefly observed the situation. Instead of rushing to pass the ball, he chose to pass it to Zhang Linpeng, who was in a better position.

"Zhang Linpeng!"

"Pass the ball out!"

"Pretty!"

"The Chinese team knew that Vietnam would be marking Tang Ye, so we saw that Zhang Linpeng did not choose to go directly to Tang Ye when making long passes!"

"Wu Lei!"

Wu Lei, the number 7 for the Chinese team, has finally developed in Europe. His perfect ball control shattered the stereotypes fans had of him.

"Take it!"

Wu Lei gestured for Elkeson to come and help.

After Elkeson drew the defense away, Wu Lei suddenly made a forward run.

"Nice!"

"A very decisive choice," Eskriva exclaimed excitedly.

"Find Tom! Find Tom!"

Eskreva spoke so loudly that even the Vietnamese players could hear him.

Of course, hearing it is useless; what matters is whether you can find a suitable coping strategy.

He moved towards the right flank baseline, and as he went deeper, Wu Lei began to slow down.

It was passed back to Wu Xi behind him!
"here!"

Tang Ye reached out his hand in the attacking third!

Snapped!
The long pass was delivered to Wei Shihao.

"Do it!"

Upon hearing Tang Ye's call, Wei Shihao proactively ran to the landing point, bounced the ball with his chest, and successfully passed it to Tang Ye.

"Oh!!"

"Brilliant!"

"Tang Ye is awesome!"

The fans at the scene seemed a bit dazed, shouting "Awesome!" as Tang Ye didn't even make a single move.

Snapped!
Use your left foot to flick the ball towards the center!
Vietnam's defenses began to contract, but Tang Ye ignored everything and offered what he considered the most appropriate option.

Raise your right leg and make a shooting feint.

When the Vietnamese defender lost his balance, Tang Ye suddenly accelerated and broke into the penalty area.

Wow!!!

This time we can definitely shout it.

There were three defenders in front of him, and Tang Ye's approach was very decisive.

First, give the ball to Wei Shihao on the left.

"Give me!"

Let Wei Shihao pass the ball back!

The moment Wei Shihao passed the ball, Tang Ye rushed between the Vietnamese full-back and center-back and successfully got the ball.

!!!

The defender tried to intercept Tang Ye, but China's number 10 charged straight through the middle.

Near the left pillar...

Snapped!
A shot from an almost zero angle was met by the goalkeeper, who was sitting on the spot, and he was unable to block the ball.

"The ball went in!!!"

"China scores!"

"1:0!!!"

"Haha, that goal came so fast!"

After scoring, Tang Ye promptly celebrated with his teammates in the penalty area.

Dongqiudi Live Match Report: Lightning strike! China launches a quick attack at the start, with Wei Shihao providing the assist for Tang Ye to score!

It's the second minute of the first half, and the Chinese team has already taken the lead.

At this point, some people in the Dongqiudi comment section had already begun to express their feelings.

Damn, this is the player who could get FIFA to award him a retroactive Ballon d'Or.

GGBond is amazing!

"A master like you must have incredibly skillful techniques!"

"Horizontal strokes, left-falling strokes, vertical strokes, right-falling strokes, hooks, dots, and turns—all are perfectly free!"

Fans sang all sorts of strange songs, and the Chinese team did not slow down their offensive after taking the lead.

"..."

Tang Ye suddenly surged forward, charging all the way to the left flank baseline.

Cruyff turns around!

That was a really cool feint, but the defender just stood there like a blockhead.

He knew he would be deceived by Tang Ye, so he simply did not respond to Tang Ye's actions.

The meaning is obvious.

I can't beat you, I just need to prevent you from cutting inside.

Tang Ye was also somewhat speechless at the performance of the defensive players.

Bro, this is a professional match, so play your game well!
He dribbled the ball closer with the instep, and the Vietnamese defender immediately created distance between them.

Having confirmed his opponent's conservative defensive philosophy, Tang Ye decided to teach him a lesson.

Slow down...

Suddenly accelerated!
!

The defender was startled and tried to change his rhythm along with Tang Ye, but he couldn't possibly change his rhythm as quickly as Tang Ye.

Seizing the opportunity, Tang Ye completed a nutmeg of the Vietnamese full-back.

They've come up behind me!

My jersey got tugged, but it doesn't matter.

boom!
A lightning-fast through ball was played down the middle.

Elkeson!
boom!
Elkeson crashed into the penalty area, attempting a sliding shot, but unfortunately couldn't reach the ball.

Actually, the ball wasn't originally meant for him.

Back!

Wu Lei!

Snapped!
The ball went in!
……

PS: There's more.

Asking for a monthly ticket!
