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

Chapter 815 Tang Ye's Talent Enhancement Choices and the Champions League Quarter-Final Draw Results

Klopp paced back and forth on the sidelines.

The Liverpool manager looks calm, but he's actually out of options.

Judging from the match, Liverpool would need at least half of their players to be in top form to have a chance of beating Manchester United, but several Liverpool players were out of sorts today.

With less than two minutes remaining in the match, Klopp and Liverpool fans had already accepted defeat.

"..."

"Beep, beep beep—!!!"

"The game is over, guys!"

"3:1!"

Boom!

The sound of typing could be heard coming from the live stream.

Although it was just an EFL Cup title, Manchester United hadn't won one for a while, so the fans were extremely excited when they finally won.

"Wow! It seems like Manchester United is back in form now, all that's left is to wait for the Premier League title."

Wang Chao rubbed his hands together: "Let me check the standings, hmm... wow, I feel like Manchester United can win the title several rounds in advance."

After reviewing the standings, Wang Chao outlined what he considered a suitable script for Manchester United this season.

Winning the EFL Cup is just the beginning.

Then came winning the Premier League title early, and finally the Champions League!

[Chao Di, go eat shit! What happened to Tang Ye's hat trick?]

[Wow, this is awesome! Watching a live stream cost me five years of my life. Streamer, watch out! When Tang Qiuwang returns to China, I'll have him beat you up.]

It's all settled! Everything's settled!

【666666】

[Received!]

The Huanledou website and Leisu APP are receiving rave reviews.

Although Wang Chao guessed the score wrong, it didn't matter, because the smart fans didn't follow Wang Chao's advice to place bets at all.

对于曼联、利物浦这种强强对话来说，2球的比分差是比较常规的，所以2:1、3:1、还有3:2这几个比分也是下注人数最多的。

如果你非常相信曼联，认为曼联一定会赢，那你就可以下注2:1、3:1、3:2这三个比分。

但如果你不相信曼联，不确认谁胜谁负的话，那就非常糟糕了。因为你同时还要下注1:2、1:3……等等比分。然而正常人在买彩票时一般不会一次性买6个以上比分，所以这时候你就会忽略一些自己认为不可能的比分，结果就是你很有可能买了2:1和3:2，但就没买3:1。

sad!

How pathetic!

I don't believe Manchester United will pay a heavy price!

"Champion!"

"Champion!"

Manchester United fans took over Wembley Stadium, and the Manchester United players on the pitch were also celebrating.

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye and Dembele hugged each other: "We finally won the championship, damn it!"

There will be more later!

Dembele patted Tang Ye on the back and said confidently.

"Of course!"

Tang Ye clenched his right fist and punched Dembele in the chest: "I don't need you to remind me of that."

"Fuck! Haha!"

"United!"

"Man United!"

The Liverpool players on the field looked somewhat dejected. Robertson was right next to them, so Tang Ye simply walked over to him.

"It's fine."

Tang Ye whispered, "You still have the Premier League and the Champions League to play for, just keep it up."

Suddenly remembering something, Tang Ye added, "And you still have the FA Cup, which we no longer have."

"..."

Robertson didn't say anything at first, but then he raised his head and gave Tang Ye a fist bump: "Thanks."

Tang Ye's task was quite arduous. After comforting Robertson, the Manchester United captain went to Lingard and reiterated that the mistake in the first half was insignificant.

"Jesse, we've won the championship!"

"We've already won the championship, okay? Enough said, just hold your head up!"

Tang Ye pressed down on Lin Jiade's head with both hands, lifting the latter's chin.

The master craftsman corrected Lingard's posture with exquisite handcrafting skills!
"..."

Following Ten Hag, Manchester United players walked onto the podium one after another.

Although it's his first title, Tang Ye remains relatively calm. He told Dembele that he has already won many titles at Manchester United, so a small title like the EFL Cup is not surprising.

"really?"

Dembele raised an eyebrow: "You played four seasons for Manchester United, but I think you only had three EFL Cup titles. Hmm... three or two, I forget, but definitely not four."

"...That's not the point!"

Standing on the platform, Tang Ye led his teammates in celebration.

Excuse me! Excuse me! Over here!

Ten Hach squeezed up from behind and handed the trophy to Tang Ye, who was in the middle.

"Okay, okay, I got it. Come on, Eric! You can stand next to me, Osman doesn't need to stand in the middle."

"You can stand in his place!"

"..."

"wowowowowwo~~~~"

"United!!!!"

boom!
Bang bang bang!
"Ha ha!"

I remember this was Manchester United’s second time playing at Wembley Stadium this season (semi-final and final), and the result was quite good. After the match, the stadium was filled with the cheers of the fans and the sound of the Manchester United anthem.

Ten Hag, the manager of the great team, stood on the pitch, microphone in hand, delivering his inspiring speech.

"This is just the beginning."

Ten Hah said that there was an immediate "wow" from the audience.

"I need to emphasize that Manchester United's journey to this point is inseparable from the efforts of the players and coaches, but even more so from the support of the fans. I need to make a promise to all the great Manchester United fans that today's championship is just the beginning of this season. Just the beginning."

Wow!!!

"United!"

"United!"

Putting everything else aside, Ten Hag's remarks gave the fans present a feeling of being transported back to two years ago.

When was 2 years ago?
That was Manchester United's quadruple-winning season!

Although Manchester United have lost an FA Cup this season, it doesn't matter, as the Red Devils are still unbeaten in the Premier League.

The unbeaten league run proves that the current Manchester United is indeed stronger than the Manchester United of the 19-20 season.

"If Manchester United can win the Champions League and then finish unbeaten in the Premier League, I would consider that a greater achievement than the treble," said legend Rio Ferdinand after the match.

懂球帝战报：21-22赛季首冠！曼联3:1击败利物浦获英联杯冠军，唐业失点+助攻，青木梅开二度。（评论数447221）

Liverpool and Manchester United have another match in April. That will be the third clash between the two giants this season.

Judging from this schedule, Liverpool still has a chance for revenge.

But none of that matters anymore; Manchester United defeated Liverpool today to win the EFL Cup.

As for the Premier League...

That's for next month.

Let's talk about next month's business next month!
Commentator Owen: A victory worth celebrating. Ten Hag's Manchester United will continue their previous dominance. The era of Manchester United is not over.

"If I were Guardiola or Klopp, I would deeply regret managing a Premier League team during the era of Ten Hag. Because under the Dutchman's leadership, competing for the title in England was undoubtedly a very difficult thing."

"Perhaps for teams like Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea, winning the Premier League title has become more difficult than winning the Champions League."

Is winning the Premier League title more difficult than winning the Champions League?
It may seem a bit far-fetched, but based on past seasons' experience, this statement isn't necessarily wrong. Special circumstances always arise under special historical contexts.

This is the sadness of the times!

……

Manchester United's March schedule also ended after the EFL Cup final, leaving Premier League teams with no matches to play for two whole weeks.

A simple estimate suggests that this is likely to make way for the final two rounds of the European Championship qualifiers, where Portugal and Italy will face their do-or-die World Cup matches.

As it turns out, not all national teams are as strong as China, managing to secure their place in the World Cup finals two or three rounds in advance!

Portugal and Italy still need to work harder in this regard and learn from the role model, the Chinese team.

Thump...thump!

The train moved forward at a slow pace on the tracks, and Tang Ye sat in his seat, lost in thought.

It's really comfortable to have no match days for two consecutive weeks.

So all Manchester United needs to do now is wait for the Champions League quarter-final draw to see who their next opponent will be.

It doesn't really matter who it is anymore, because no matter which opponent they face, Tang Ye and his teammates have enough confidence to win.

Confidence is confidence, but whether we can actually win remains to be seen once the game starts.

correct!

Realizing he still had a talent optimizer he hadn't used, Tang Ye sat up straight and began to think.

Tang Ye.

[Ball control: Absolutely amazing; Passing: Superb (or perhaps pseudo-superb)]

[Shot: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; Header: Useless; Set piece: The center of attention]

Speed: One in a hundred; Endurance: Unparalleled; Physical Strength: Unparalleled

[Defense: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; Vision: Beyond comprehension]

Overall assessment: Transcendental (False Saint)

The optimizer's effect of directly boosting talent to an "astounding" level is incredibly powerful, so it needs careful consideration.

To be honest, if it weren't for the inherent limitations of the optimizer, Tang Ye would probably have considered using it for speed optimization to compensate for his speed talent.

However, since the optimizer restricts its use to talents below the "once-in-a-lifetime" level, Tang Ye can only choose between the shooting and defense attributes.

To be honest, it's not an easy choice.

Choosing to shoot will certainly help Tang Ye complete the tasks assigned by the system, and it will probably be easier for him to rack up stats.

However, from the perspective of overall strength, the overall role of defense is definitely higher than that of shooting – after all, both Manchester United and China are counter-attacking teams!
In high-stakes matches, especially the Champions League knockout stage and the upcoming World Cup, defense is a more sensible option for Tang Ye.

Ok……

Gritting his teeth, Tang Ye made his final decision.

[You confirm that you are applying the Talent Optimizer (Excellent) to the "Defense" attribute. After use, the talent level of the "Defense" attribute will be directly boosted to "Peerless"...]

[Defense: Once in a Million → Absolutely Stunning]

[Defense: 78→81]

Tang Ye (23 years old)
[Ball possession: 94; Passing: 97]

[Shots: 93; Headers: 62; Set pieces: 95]

Speed: 83; Endurance: 85; Physical Strength: 90

[Defense: 81; Vision: 100]

Overall rating: 97
There's a significant difference between extraordinary talent and once-in-a-millennium talent.

Tang Ye simply modified his talent; without even starting any training, he immediately gained 3 points in his attributes, which was incredibly satisfying.

As for just how powerful this extraordinary talent is, you can refer to the previous attribute of physical combat.

Based on previous experience, Tang Ye estimated that he could raise his defensive attribute to 88 within a season!

Putting aside other attributes for now, just the appearance of an 88 defense rating makes Tang Ye certain that his overall score can break through the 98 mark!

Damn!

Before I knew it, I started to develop into a well-rounded individual!
Do you want Ronaldo to qualify for the World Cup?

When Van der Gach turned around, Tang Ye was taken aback.

"Um, what?"

"I asked you, do you want Ronaldo to qualify for the World Cup?"

"Oh, of course."

Tang Ye nodded, then realized something was off about the question: "Please, Michelle, don't think of me as such a despicable person. I'm not that disgusting, am I?"

"Haha, I was just saying."

……

Pinned: At 19:00 Beijing time, the Champions League quarter-final draw will take place. With no rule of avoiding teams from the same league, will Liverpool and Chelsea face Manchester United?
Just like in the round of 16, everyone was discussing which team would be drawn against Manchester United.

Regardless of the outcome of the match, the team that draws Manchester United as their opponent is definitely very lucky!
Yes, very lucky.

Before the draw ceremony even began, reporters at the scene interviewed Ten Hag, asking him about the 10th round of the Asian Cup qualifiers.

Since he is not the head coach of the Chinese national team, Ten Hag initially chose to avoid reporters' questions.

But as the reporter steered the conversation further into deeper topics, Ten Hach eventually broke down.

"I don't think letting Tang return to the team early will affect China's performance in the World Cup. As you've seen, Tang isn't the only key player who has returned to his club. They never intended to beat Oman away from home, so this has nothing to do with me."

"So even if the Chinese team doesn't ultimately surpass Japan in the FIFA rankings, you won't feel guilty?"

"Yes, of course, as I just said, this has nothing to do with me."

Click, click, click!

The reporter really wants to interview Eskrima to see what kind of response the Chinese team coach will give.

Unfortunately, Escriva is no longer coaching a club team, so he naturally wouldn't be present at the draw ceremony.

At the draw ceremony venue, the club's coaches, officials, guests, and reporters were all present, eagerly awaiting the results of today's draw.

It's worth noting that four of the eight teams participating in this Champions League quarter-final are from the English Premier League, so the possibility of an all-English clash is quite high.

If Manchester City or Liverpool are drawn against Manchester United, does that mean they're out of the Champions League early?
of course not!

As Klopp said before, Manchester United are not invincible, and it takes a bit of luck to beat them.

The camera pans to the stage, where the guest slowly dips his hand into the glass bowl.

Stir it, then take the white ball out.

Bayern Munich

the second.

Liverpool

"Oh, Liverpool."

"Haha, Klopp doesn't know whether to be happy or sad now."

"We didn't get Manchester United, but Bayern isn't bad either..."

As the CCTV commentator said, Liverpool's current situation is indeed somewhat awkward.

Klopp wasn't extremely upset because he didn't draw Manchester United.

But of course, he wouldn't be happy about it.

"Next... oh my, here it comes! Manchester United!"

"It'll be out soon. We need to see Manchester United's opponents. There are still two Premier League teams whose opponents haven't been revealed yet..."

The guest reached into the glass bowl and took out a small white ball.

He pulled out half of it, but the raffle guest's hand suddenly stopped.

Under the watchful eyes of the fans, the guest smiled slightly and put the white ball he had just picked up back down.

Goodness, they know Manchester United is a hot topic, so even the draw guests are trying to mess with the fans' mentality.

But it doesn't matter, let's see what the final result is.

The second white ball was taken out by the guest, and after opening the white ball, a small folded piece of paper was found.

Pull the paper strip open.

"Villarreal CF (Villarreal)"
