Chapter 788 Cristiano Ronaldo's Grievance and Crisis (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets, Please Vote!)

"..."

Cristiano Ronaldo remained silent.

Furthermore, the other Manchester United players in the dressing room also remained silent, creating a very strange atmosphere in the Manchester United dressing room.

Of course, it wasn't completely silent. You could hear Tang Ye breathing heavily.

"Huh, huh..."

Taking a few deep breaths, Tang Ye was adjusting his breathing and trying to calm himself down.

The FA Cup was lost at the very beginning of 2022, and I obviously lost control of my emotions just now.

Tang Ye moved half a step to the side, giving Ronaldo more space so he no longer had to be stuck in the corner.

"What...are you trying to say?"

Cristiano Ronaldo spoke a little softer than before, but his brows were still furrowed.

"I... Phew, it's just what I said earlier, I'm not going to say anything else."

Tang Ye glanced at Ronaldo again: "I think you still have to do as I said."

Gritting his teeth, Tang Ye went back.

Cristiano Ronaldo was cornered again.

"..."

"Hey!"

Bruno Fernandes and Rodri came over, each grabbing one of Tang Ye's hands: "Tom!"

Bruno Fernandes and Rodri seemed unsure what to say, so they could only try to control Tang Ye for the time being.

Although the atmosphere was a bit tense, the two ultimately did not start fighting.

As long as a fight doesn't break out, the problem is easy to solve.

Well, that should be the case.

"Relax."

Van der Gach finally came over and stood between Tang Ye and Ronaldo.

"I know you disagree, but let's not do this now, it's unnecessary. We lost the game, there will be a post-match review, and we can talk things out then. There's no point in arguing here now."

"Okay? That's settled then. Everyone, please sit down."

Van der Gach grabbed Tang Ye's hand and pushed him toward his seat.

Throughout the process, the Manchester United assistant coach kept observing Tang Ye's expression.

The scene from just now was still vivid in his mind, and Van der Gach was genuinely afraid that Tang Ye would lose his temper again.

That's not a good thing!

"..."

Tang Ye glanced in Ronaldo's direction, then slowly returned to his seat. Dembele next to him wanted to put his hand on his teammate's shoulder, but after careful consideration, he gave up.

Tom might need some time to calm down.

After Tang Ye and Cristiano Ronaldo sat down, the locker room became completely silent.

Van der Gach wanted to say something, but was too shy to be the first to speak.

At this moment, the younger players on the team were the most upset. Greenwood and McTominay were even careful when getting water, for fear of being scolded by Tang Ye or Ronaldo.

crunch--

The savior is here!

The players immediately looked towards the goal.

Familiar faces.

It's Ten Hach!

Everyone was looking at him, and Ten Hah raised an eyebrow.

I didn't expect the players on the team to reflect on their actions so quickly. Since that's the case, it's not a big problem for me to scold them a little less.

"Tom, Cristiano, it's time for your interview."

After saying that, Tang Ye and Cristiano Ronaldo stood up at the same time.

!

Van der Gach was startled, but he wasn't familiar with Ronaldo, so he pulled Tang Ye outside to avoid the two of them running into each other in the corridor later.

After seeing Tang Ye off, Van der Gach returned and gave Ronaldo, who was about to leave, a word of advice: "Calm down, everyone. It's not necessary."

"..."

Tang Ye and Ronaldo left, while Ten Hag stood still, constantly observing the expressions of the players on the team.

Finally, he turned to van der Gaël and asked, "What's wrong?"

"...Um, I don't know how to say it."

Van der Gach looked a little embarrassed and touched his nose: "Anyway, the situation isn't very good... well, that's it."

……

The mixed zone was just around the corner, and Ronaldo could even hear the sound of camera shutters clicking in the distance.

Now he can be interviewed by reporters as soon as he turns the corner, and he can express his dissatisfaction with Ten Hag during the interview, telling all the reporters and fans that it was a mistake for Ten Hag to substitute him when they were down 0-1, and that Eric should not have done that.

Thinking of this, Ronaldo took a step forward.

But then it stopped again.

Because he remembered the situation where Tang Ye had cornered him against the wall earlier.

It's so embarrassing, extremely embarrassing!

The young people have absolutely no respect for their elders!
Cristiano Ronaldo was furious, but Tang Ye's words were still lingering in his mind.

“Respect our tactics, Cristiano. Otherwise, you might as well quit.”

Under normal circumstances, if forced to that point, Ronaldo would have to expose Ten Hag and Tang Ye's actions in an interview and put up the necessary resistance!
but!

Tang Ye's last words made the whole thing seem a bit off.

I don't know if Tang Ye was just talking nonsense in a fit of anger, but if you think about it carefully, if he really rebelled, how could he continue to work at Manchester United for the rest of his contract?

Manchester United today is not the Manchester United of 2010; it's the 2020s now!
"..."

Cristiano Ronaldo took another half step forward, stopped, stepped back, and turned to walk away.

"Sir, you haven't given an interview yet."

The staff member reminded them.

"No more interviews."

Cristiano Ronaldo left without even glancing at the staff, saying just one sentence.

"This……"

Dongqiudi Match Report: The Wolves' Miracle! Wolverhampton Wanderers pull off a stunning 1-0 upset against Manchester United in the FA Cup fourth round, with Ruben Neves scoring the winning goal from long range. (382376 comments)

A closer look at the comments section reveals only three types of people.

The first type of person is the most common on Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports forum). Whenever Manchester United loses a game, they will criticize Ten Hag, emphasizing how terrible Ten Hag's tactics are or how low Ten Hag's intelligence is.

The second type of people are those who criticize Ronaldo. This group is the most complex and cannot be explained in a short time.

Finally, I'm cheering for the Wolves.

Manchester United have bullied too many teams this season, from the Premier League to the Champions League.

The strong cannot afford to lose, because once they lose, those weak teams that were previously bullied will suddenly appear and take advantage of them.

This miraculous match will undoubtedly be studied by other Premier League teams. The question is whether the coaches of those other top clubs can devise a good way to deal with Manchester United based on this game.

……

Snapped!
The last person to enter, Ale, closed the car door. At this point, there were four people in Rodri's Audi SUV: Rodri, Dembele, Tang Ye, and Ale. The four of them headed to a local celebrity restaurant in Manchester.

In the back row, Tang Ye kept staring out the window.

"Tom, I think you're actually a bit too excited."

In the passenger seat, Alai sighed, while Tang Ye turned his head to look at Alai, and then at Dembele.

Dembele raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"

"I thought you were going to say something too..."

"Well, I did want to say that you could talk to Ronaldo properly, he's really embarrassed by what you're doing. If I were Ronaldo, I'd be incredibly embarrassed right now."

Dembele moisturizes her lips.

Tang Ye shrugged: "I know I might have been a bit harsh, but it wouldn't make a difference if I didn't say it harshly. Haven't you noticed? I've said it many times before."

"But reasoning with them won't work, so what can I do?"

Tang Ye pointed to his temple: "His thinking is linear. If he thinks something is right, then it will always be right. No matter what others say, it's useless. What else can I do? I can only shout."

"That's true."

Dembele nodded and then looked at Halle.

In just a few words, he swayed from Alai's camp to Tang Ye's camp: "Indeed, Ronaldo has always thought he was right, but I also feel he was wrong."

Dembele shrugged: "We can't adjust our tactics because of him."

"..."

Alai didn't know what to say, so he remained silent.

"Actually, I didn't mean that you shouldn't have called him, it's just... you shouldn't have cornered him, you made him too embarrassed."

"..."

Tang Ye scratched his head.

"...Okay, that's true, but I didn't think that much about it at the time."

"So, are you going to apologize?" Dembele asked.

"No! I can't apologize, I can't apologize now!"

It wasn't Tang Ye who answered Dembele's question, but Rodri, who was driving: "You can apologize, but not right now, otherwise what you said will be useless."

"Drip!"

He honked twice to signal the car in front to hurry up, and then glanced in the rearview mirror.

"You said it yourself, Ronaldo is very stubborn, and now that you apologize, he thinks he's right again."

"Actually, I never thought about apologizing. Anyway, I definitely won't say anything for the next few days."

Tang Ye leaned back in his chair, supporting his neck with both hands.

Things were a bit too complicated, and he was too lazy to think about them anymore.

It's a real shame.

FA Cup!
It’s just gone!
……

On the other side, Ronaldo was also complaining to Mendes.

“I don’t know, how could I possibly know? That’s just how he is. He always wants me to change, but he just won’t listen to my opinions.”

Mendes sat in his seat, while Ronaldo paced back and forth: "You know what? He cornered me and then yelled at me."

"There's nothing I can do! Because the current Manchester United is not the Manchester United of the past."

"There's nothing I can do here!"

“...Hey, Ronnie…”

Mendes asked Ronaldo to sit down first: "Did you retaliate?"

"..."

Clenching his teeth, Ronaldo did not answer Mendes' question; judging from his expression, the Portuguese striker seemed somewhat embarrassed.

call……

Mendes breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the thing I was most worried about did not happen.

"If you hadn't retaliated, I think this matter could have been resolved."

"So you think I shouldn't resist him?"

Cristiano Ronaldo glared at Mendes.

"..."

“Well… listen, Ronnie, your situation is complicated right now. You just said it yourself, the current Manchester United is not the Manchester United of the past. Even non-professional players know that the current Manchester United is only controlled by TY and Ten Hag. I know there are big problems here, but it can’t be changed in a short time.”

“Every team is a society, every team has a food chain, whether it’s Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​or Manchester United.”

Mendes tried to lecture, but Ronaldo just seemed a little impatient.

"You need to calm down first."

Mendes stood up.

"However, I need to emphasize one point to you."

“If things don’t get any worse, my advice is… don’t fight back. Well, I know it’s hard for you, but you have to remember you still have time left on your contract with Manchester United, so don’t let things get serious.”

"..."

The fact is, when a football club doesn't need a player, the club can do almost anything with that player.

So, does Manchester United need Ronaldo?

Whether Manchester United needs Cristiano Ronaldo is unclear, but what is clear is that Erik ten Hag absolutely does not need him.

Things are getting complicated...

……

late at night.

Cristiano Ronaldo opened his eyes to find himself surrounded by dazzling gold and opulent decorations.

This is?

Looking up, I saw Tang Ye sitting in a chair in front of me.

This chair is quite unique, with nine golden dragons coiling around its back.

In addition, Tang Ye was also wearing a red dragon robe!

"TY, what's wrong with you...?"

"Be bold!"

A voice from the left interrupted Ronaldo.

Turning around, I saw that the person speaking was De Rong.

However, this was not the Frenkie de Jong he remembered. The de Jong in front of him was dressed in ancient Chinese style clothing, which looked very strange.

"Ronaldo, calling his great-grandfather by his given name, is simply outrageous!"

Above the palace, Dembele shouted a rebuke.

"Hey, there's no need."

Emperor Gaozu of Tang raised his hand.

"This……"

Cristiano Ronaldo looked down at his body and found himself wearing strange, tattered, and dirty clothes, looking no different from a homeless person.

“TY, this is…”

"Grandma's!"

boom!
Tang Ye slammed his fist on the dragon throne: "You call me by my given name, and I said I don't mind. Do you really think I don't care?!"

"Somebody come!"

"To!"

"To!"

Ale and Ziyech both took a step forward at the same time.

"Drag him away and give him a whipping!"

"!!!"

"Hey, TY! Calm down, what's wrong with me?"

Cristiano Ronaldo still wanted to resist, but with his hands and feet already bound, he was no match for the many generals in the palace.

Soon, Cristiano Ronaldo, dressed in tattered clothes, was hoisted up, with Tang Ye still sitting on the dragon throne in front of him.

De Jong prepares to crack the whip.

"Wait a minute!"

Tang Ye stood up and, accompanied by the eunuchs Dembele and Rodri, walked down the steps to stand in front of Ronaldo.

"His Majesty!"

De Jong bent down and offered the whip.

"Ah."

Tang Ye continued walking forward, and at this point he was less than 2 meters away from Cristiano Ronaldo.

"TY, what are you doing... I didn't do anything, why are you doing this? We're teammates!"

"You dare call me by my first name? Good heavens!"

Tang Ye was clearly angry, and he raised his whip and struck him once.

pia!

"what!!"

Cristiano Ronaldo cried out in pain.

Tell me, what is my name?

“TY!”

pia!

pia!

"Say it again!"

"T...Tom?"

pia!

pia! pia! pia!

"What an audacious fellow!"

Tang Ye was panting heavily, looking quite tired.

Just when Ronaldo thought the punishment was over, Tang Ye handed the whip to De Jong again: "1000 lashes!"

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

!!!

"what!"

Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly sat up straight.

Looking around, I found myself sitting on the bed, with Georgina in her pajamas beside me, fast asleep.

This……

It was just a dream...
