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

Chapter 777 Dembele takes the blame, Tang Ye's crown tifo
The front page headline of Titan Sports Weekly: Voting for the 2021 Ballon d'Or has ended, and the awards ceremony will be held on December 9th.

With the 2021 Golden Globe Awards voting results in, the 2020 Golden Globe Awards voting results must also be out.

The winners of both Ballon d'Or awards have been decided, but fans just don't know it yet.

The speculation about the final winner has been a hot topic in recent days.

Soon after, a special program aired, and some reporter posted a "Golden Globe Awards leaked photo" on Twitter.

Two white sheets of paper, with the final rankings for the 2020 and 2021 Golden Globe Awards written on them respectively.

Familiar operation!
The leaked photo sparked widespread discussion among fans.

However, the fans aren't stupid.

Having been fooled in previous years, we absolutely cannot fall into the reporter's "traffic trap" again this year!
In an interview with Sky Sports, Tang Ye said: "I haven't heard the results of the Ballon d'Or yet, but I hope I can win it."

The Sun's front-page headline: Manchester United have reached a consensus that none of the players will attend the awards ceremony unless Tyson wins two Ballon d'Or awards.

The Sun's article was based on Dembele's interview, and the Manchester United player was naturally criticized after the video was shared.

Winning an award but not going to the event is clearly a very disrespectful act.

In addition, Manchester United is quite special among all clubs. When the Ballon d'Or nominees are put together for two years, a total of 8 Manchester United players are selected. If they don't go, the stadium will be completely empty.

Isn't that a bit disrespectful? What will happen to the other winners if they don't go?

[It seems Dembele was probably joking.]

[Fine, I won't go then! I support Manchester United! I'm a die-hard Manchester United fan!]

Long live TY!

[They definitely deserve two Ballon d'Or awards. They canceled last year's award so easily; did they even consider TY's feelings? A quadruple crown + Golden Boot!]

"Alright, things have gotten serious now."

At Carrington Gym, Van der Gahr was seen pacing back and forth with his hands behind his head.

Having just won a game, Manchester United is now embroiled in another media storm, and it's the most difficult of all: a "moral controversy."

"That's why I said I shouldn't have said those things in front of reporters."

Rodri scolded Dembele again: "If the result is really not good, then we won't go, but that's on the condition that the result is already out. Now you're saying that before the result is out, it feels a bit threatening."

"Actually, it seems the results are already out."

Tang Ye reminded him.

"No! I meant the announcement. The results are only known after the announcement, and they haven't been announced yet. Tom, do you know whether you've won or not?"

"I do not know."

"That's good, it's just that the results haven't come out yet."

Rodri leaned against the wall, drinking his beverage, while Dembele looked somewhat embarrassed in the distance: "Come on! You guys always try to shift the blame onto me!"

"This isn't me trying to shift the blame onto you."

De Jong was still laughing and joking, grinning widely: "This pot is all yours."

"..."

"Ha ha!"

Dembele's aggrieved expression made De Ligt laugh: "Don't worry, I feel pretty confident."

"The truth is, you never know what FIFA will do."

"Ok."

Dembele waved his hands: "Don't do this, we're a team, don't make me take the blame alone, hey!"

"Ha ha!"

"OK OK!"

Varane shook his head: "Just don't reply. When reporters ask, don't say anything. Are Twitter and Instagram shut down?"

"closed."

"Wow, you reacted pretty quickly."

Varane gave Dembele a thumbs up.

"Don't be sad, Ottoman."

De Jong put his hand on Dembele's shoulder: "Actually, it's not entirely without a solution; there are ways to do it."

"Huh? How do I do it?"

De Jong's words piqued Dembele's interest; the Manchester United striker is now just looking to break the deadlock.

"You just need to win a Golden Globe, then you and Tom can each win one, and then we can go."

"..."

Dembele gave De Jong the middle finger and then turned his head away.

"Ha ha!"

"So, what do you think?"

Alai turned to Tang Ye, who was sitting on the treadmill belt: "What do you mean, how do I see it? How would I know how to see it?"

After saying that, Tang Ye glanced at his phone again, but still hadn't received any calls.

"What do you think the probability is? You should know best."

"No, I don't think so. People inside can't see clearly; people outside have to come and see."

Rodri stated that Manchester United players are unable to make a fair judgment on the Ballon d'Or because they are all "insiders." "Insiders" are different from "outsiders." When they look at Tang Ye, they have a "filter" and do not take Tang Ye's problems into account, so they cannot be fair and objective.

"So all we can do is wait?"

Alai walked back and forth with his hands behind his head.

"Jingle Bell!"

?

The gym fell silent instantly, and all the players turned their heads toward the source of the sound.

That was Tang Ye's phone.

"Eh!"

Van der Gach turned off the treadmill under Wan-Bissaka's feet: "Shh!"

"Oh, mine."

Wan-Bissaka jumped off the treadmill and joined his teammates in surrounding Tang Ye.

"..."

The call connects, then hangs up.

"How to say?"

With more than a dozen teammates staring intently at him, Dembele was under the most pressure.

Whether he can get rid of the blame depends on Tang Ye's phone call.

"How do you say what?"

"Did you win any awards? Stop dawdling!"

"...This is my mom's phone number...What are you thinking?"

"..."

"Fuck!"

"xuuu!! You're disgusting, Tom!"

"Hey, how is this my fault? I didn't say anything, you guys just surrounded me!"

"xuuu!!!"

……

In a post-match interview, Zhang Yuning said: "I don't know if TY won the Golden Ball award. Although he is my teammate on the national team, I usually don't talk to him about awards on WeChat."

Interview with Cristiano Ronaldo: If Tyson wins two Ballon d'Or awards at the same time, will you congratulate him?

—Reply: Of course.

The comments section was filled with another debate between Messi and Ronaldo fans, with some micro-expression experts jumping in to claim that Ronaldo lied during the interview and that what he meant wasn't what he truly thought. Of course, these micro-expression experts were quickly ridiculed by other fans in the comments section.

Snapped!
[De Bruyne's long-range curling shot lv:5 reissue (beyond current state)]

Proficiency: 2421/3500
With a curling shot, Tang Ye swatted the ball away from the outer perimeter of the net.

"What the fuck!"

Ten Hach raised his hand: "Tom, what are you kicking? Are you masturbating?"

"Oh, sorry!"

"Don't think about the Golden Globe anymore, it's affecting you too much!"

"I'm not thinking about the Golden Globe!"

"..."

Ten Hach shook his hand, then sighed.

Van der Gach suddenly suggested, "Why don't we stop him from training for the next few days? You should be able to tell that Eric's training these past few days has been basically ineffective."

Van der Gach's attention was focused on Tang Ye, while the Manchester United midfielder walked around on the grass in his training gear.

The reason why Van der Gach said such a thing was mainly because Tang Ye's training performance these past few days had been too abstract.

He's worth 3 million euros, but he can't even play well when he's worth 5000 million euros.

Tang Ye said he wasn't thinking about the Golden Globe Awards, but only a fool would believe such a lie.

"That's why I said, honor can devour a person!"

Ten Hag frowned: "This is the current state of football. All players and coaches are pursuing higher individual honors, and slowly football has become corrupted. I really don't want to say anything more. This is limiting the progress of football."

“…” Van der Gach’s lips twitched: “Then what about your revival?”

"what?"

"Oh! Sorry!"

Seeing Ten Hach's fierce gaze, Van der Gach took a step back: "I understand what you mean. Revival is not an award, it's a mission! A mission is different from an honor. What Tom and his group are pursuing is too superficial."

If only the players in Manchester United could be as great as Erik ten Hag.

What they pursue is no longer various personal awards, but the great mission they were born with.

Only in this way can Manchester United players become great people and great footballers like Ten Hag!

Of course, not everyone has the same level of awareness as Ten Hach.

……

On December 4th, in the 15th round of the Premier League, Manchester United will face Crystal Palace.

"Ballon d'Or!" (Golden Globe Awards)

"Ballon d'Or!"

Old Trafford was bustling with noise, and the director's camera frequently focused on Tang Ye.

Given the situation in the stands, it felt like nobody was watching the game anymore; everyone was just cheering for their chosen Ballon d'Or winner.

FIFA canceled the Ballon d'Or in 2020 and then reinstated it in 2021. This series of disgusting actions ironically made Tang Ye a star.

If Tang Ye can indeed win two Ballon d'Or awards this year, he will be a pioneer in modern football.

of course!

The prerequisite is that you can get two.

Both of these Golden Globe Awards are very important; without either one, the game just wouldn't be the same.

Upon receiving a pass from Rashford, Tang Ye immediately moved to the right wing.

"Ballon d'Or!"

"Wow! Tom! Ballon d'Or!"

"Ballon d'Or!"

"..."

Tang Ye prepared himself to move towards the bottom line.

Lift your foot and pass the ball!

Snapped!
"Beautiful! Mitchell!"

"That blocked Tang Ye's cross!"

As the camera zooms in, viewers can clearly see Tang Ye's helpless expression.

"Tang Ye... well, he might have been too affected by the scene today."

"Or I think Ten Hag wants Tang Ye to make some adjustments in this game, because we've seen that Tang Ye's running coverage hasn't been very large so far. There must be some other arrangements the team has made?"

Dongqiudi Match Report: Manchester United defeated Crystal Palace 2-1 at home, with Ronaldo and Varane scoring. Tang Ye was substituted after a sluggish performance in the 65th minute. (312388 comments)

"Ballon d'Or!"

"Ballon d'Or!"

I thought people would criticize Tang Ye's poor performance in this game, but apart from chanting "Golden Ball Award", there was no other sound at the scene.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, but the passion of the Manchester United fans in the stands remained undiminished.

For Manchester United fans these days, winning games is commonplace and nothing new.

What they need is the Golden Globe!

Tom broke the rules with his own hands, winning a Golden Globe in each hand!

Manchester United fans are hoping their players can make history!
“Ole~”

“Ole Ole Ole~~”

Boom!

Bang bang bang!
After the game, the players did not return to the locker room immediately, but stayed on the field.

The tifo in the south grandstand was slowly pulled back from bottom to top.

The chances of Old Trafford refreshing the tifo are relatively small; let's see what happens.

As expected, it's a tifo of Tang Ye's personal portrait, but with some adjustments made to the original model.

Putting aside the Golden Globe Awards in both hands, the focus is on the golden crown Tang Ye is wearing on his head.

"Wow!!!!"

"My God! Wow—Manchester United fans are absolutely certain that Tang Ye will win the Ballon d'Or!"

"Yes, that's definitely the case."

Tang Ye slowly walked into the stadium, applauding to thank the fans for the tifo and cheers they had given him.

This tifo is really cool; the young king is wearing his crown.

The broadcast angle was so stunning; it's hard to imagine what it would be like to see it in person.

Cristiano Ronaldo was also watching, but his attitude wasn't one of appreciation like the others; it was more of an indescribable envy.

With a sigh, the Manchester United striker lowered his head.

……

"What are you kicking?! Come on! Wake up!"

Dembele pushed Tang Ye toward the locker room.

The French, of course, did not miss this opportunity to ridicule Tang Ye.

"Oh well, what can I do? I'm not in good shape!"

"Are you not in a good mood? Just say you're thinking about other things."

Dembele raised an eyebrow at Tang Ye: "It's okay, Tom. I'm very generous and won't blame you, but it's different for others."

"..."

Tang Ye pushed Dembele away: "You think you're a great player, huh?"

"Of course!"

"Oh! Fuck! Go to hell!"

Dembele seemed somewhat unconvinced at not receiving Tang Ye's approval: "No, didn't I play well today? Two assists, 100% quality, those two assists were all earned through my own hard work."

"Tom, just say something to praise him."

De Jong tried to persuade him, but Dembele retorted: "What do you mean by praising me? Do I want him to praise me? What I mean is, he won today without lifting a finger, you understand?"

"Ha ha!"

De Jong gave Dembele a squeeze on the shoulder.

Manchester United players returned to the locker room one after another. After finishing his post-match interview, Erik ten Hag paced back and forth in front of the tactics board, preparing to give a post-match summary.

Boom!
Knock it!
"I don't know why, but you guys think a score of 2:1 is..."

"Jingle Bell!"

"..."

With only a goal difference today, Ten Hag was already in a bad mood, and being interrupted made him even more upset.

"Um, sorry..."

Tang Ye nodded in apology.

"Ok?"

"You answer first."

Upon discovering it was Tang Ye calling, Teng Hahe put the pen in his pocket.

"..."

"That's...ok."

Although it wasn't a good idea, Tang Ye simply answered the phone since Ten Hah had already said so.

"...Yes, yes, okay, thank you, thank you, um. See you then, goodbye!"

"..."

"How to say?"

Ten Hag and Dembele appeared in front of Tang Ye at some point.

Tang Ye simply put his phone aside quietly, then leaned back against the cabinet behind him with a relaxed expression: "I've got it."

"Wow!!!!"

"Vamos!!!"

The locker room exploded instantly, and another old, dilapidated locker was kicked to pieces by De Ligt with a loud "bang".

"several!"

"How many?!"

Faced with his teammates' questioning, Tang Ye blinked and extended his right hand.

Under the watchful eyes of nearly 20 teammates and coaches, Tang Ye extended his index and middle fingers.

"Holy shit!"
