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

Chapter 820 If possible, I still hope you won't have too much prejudice against him.
"Ronaldo?"

Ten Hach's pupils dilated rapidly before returning to normal: "What did he do?"

Ten Hag thought Ronaldo had done something bad behind his back, but that was clearly wrong.

"No, no, it's nothing else. I just wanted to talk to you about his playing time."

Tang Ye quickly explained.

Ten Hach's expression gradually turned serious.

Tang Ye has a habit of rocking his chair, but he didn't do that today; instead, he sat very steadily in his chair.

The astute Ten Hagh knew that Tom was most likely going to talk about something serious.

"Exactly, I feel Cristiano played quite well, but he's always on the bench..."

Tang Ye stammered when he spoke.

As a player, it's really not good to interfere with the coach's lineup arrangements, and Tang Ye knows this.

"So you're saying..."

Ten Hagh frowned: "Should I give him more opportunities?"

"Oh, you must have misunderstood Tom."

Ten Hag quickly explained: "You're only seeing the surface. I benched him because he didn't fit our squad requirements, not for anything else. I remember you said before that Ronaldo's pressing was a bit too light, but we were playing a pressing game."

Ten Hag gestured: "He's suppressing the opponent, but he (referring to Cristiano) is clearly not our type..."

"Isn't he making improvements?"

After hesitating for a while, Tang Ye finally interrupted Ten Hag: "I've mentioned him a few times before, but it didn't work. Then I called out to him on the field... and, well, I remember his pressing frequency increased, and it felt pretty good."

“Mr. Eric, Ronaldo also has the ability to finish in front of goal. If he can stay on the field longer, it will be a great help to us.”

“I play on the field, so I can feel it, and I hope you will take my advice to heart.”

Tang Ye had prepared before knocking on the office door. He used "stay on the field longer" instead of "start Ronaldo" to make his words more tactful and reduce the suspicion of interfering with the coach's decision.

"This……"

Ten Hah pursed his lips and remained silent immediately.

"Actually..."

“If you’re handling Ronaldo’s situation from my perspective, then… sir, I really don’t want you to do that.”

Tang Ye didn't give Ten Hah a chance to explain.

"No, you misunderstood. No, I've always been thinking from the perspective of the whole team. I think it's better for the team to do it this way."

"Well... I don't know what to say."

Tang Ye sighed and shook his head slightly.

He was clearly hesitant, but he finally spoke up.

"Mr. Eric."

"If possible... I still hope you... well, have less prejudice against him."

Tang Ye touched his nose, feeling somewhat apologetic for what he had said: "Um, I don't know if my judgment is correct, but I still want to express my thoughts."

"Just take this as a suggestion, it's nothing."

Standing up, under Tenhah's shocked gaze, Tang Ye extended his right hand and clenched his fist.

"...oh!"

Ten Hah reacted and extended his hand to give Tang Ye a fist bump.

……

crunch--

click!
Tang Ye came out of the office, put his hands in his pockets, and walked downstairs with his head down.

Although the whole process was rather awkward, for some reason, Tang Ye felt very relaxed after doing all of this.

He had already figured it out before he came.

While the "Nine Alliances" mission is impressive, there's really no need to torture Ronaldo for the sake of the system's rewards.

The fact that he turned the Portuguese superstar into his underling...

He didn't feel anything at first, but as Tang Ye spent more and more time with Cristiano Ronaldo, he gradually realized that this was impossible to succeed.

Cristiano Ronaldo was willing to humble himself for the sake of honor and sought help from Rodri, Dembele, and others.

But it's completely impossible for Ronaldo to ask Tang Ye for help, because the two have already fallen out once before.

According to Tang Ye's research, Cristiano Ronaldo is the kind of person who is straightforward and would never play a fixed match or admit defeat.

Furthermore, recalling the scene of Ronaldo in the toilet after the first leg against Villarreal, Tang Ye now feels somewhat regretful.

He should have stepped forward to help sooner.

They were all misled by this stupid "Nine Lords Unite" quest, which led them to stand by and watch the whole time!
"..."

He pulled a delicious mint-flavored gum out of his pocket and put it in his mouth to chew.

Tang Ye was now truly relieved.

It remains to be seen whether this belated help will truly benefit Ronaldo.

2021-22 Premier League Standings (as of Round 32):

1. Manchester United, 92 points.

2. Liverpool, 81 points.

2. Manchester City, 80 points.

4. Chelsea, 65 points.

5. Tottenham Hotspur, 63 points.

The league has now reached its 32nd round, and Manchester United still maintains their incredible unbeaten record.

If it could be said before that Manchester United's strength was in a class of its own in the Premier League, then now you could even say that Manchester United's points total is in a class of its own in the Premier League.

With an 11-point lead over second-placed Liverpool, they're likely to clinch the title 3 or 4 rounds early.

For Liverpool and Manchester City fans, all they can hope for now is that Manchester United's Champions League opponents will perform better, thus putting enough pressure on the Premier League giants.

The problem lies in the Champions League.

Manchester United's quarter-final opponent is Villarreal, which is extremely frustrating!
How could Villarreal possibly stop Manchester United!
Commentator Owen, in an interview, expressed pessimism about Liverpool and Manchester City's potential title comeback.

NBA star LeBron James: As one of the shareholders, I regret Liverpool's current deficit. Even for a super football powerhouse like Liverpool, beating my friends is extremely difficult.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together.

Even LeBron James said that TY is the GOAT of football.

So, what would LeBron be as TY's "best friend"?

Isn't that just a basketball GOAT?
GOAT and GOAT!

……

"Cristiano! In conclusion, do you plead guilty?"

Tang Ye cornered Ronaldo, his expression fierce.

I remember Tom was clearly shorter than me.

But for some reason, Tang Ye, dressed in gorgeous clothes, was more than a head taller than him.

"Tom, stop!"

"The might of the Five Spirits!"

"Powerful Diamond Kick!"

"Earth-Shattering Fist!" "Pig-Opening Heaven Sword! Dugu Nine Swords! Blazing Flame Missile!"

"what!!!"

"!!!"

Cristiano Ronaldo sat up abruptly in bed, his brow already drenched in sweat.

Snapped!
Cristiano Ronaldo turned on the bedroom light and sat on his soft bed. On the TV screen in front of him was "GG Bond: The Fairy Tale of the Block World," a show he hadn't finished watching the night before.

"..."

"In conclusion, Mr. Cristiano, you are currently experiencing very serious psychological trauma. As you just said, you are frequently being bullied in your dreams, but in my opinion, given your personality, you shouldn't be having such dreams."

Swish swish!
The psychologist spoke while quickly taking notes on the patient Cristiano Ronaldo's condition.

For a top star like Cristiano Ronaldo, you can't record his medical data on a computer; handwriting can provide a good level of confidentiality.

"No, that's not right, I wasn't bullied!"

Cristiano Ronaldo retorted, "I am capable of fighting back! Doctor, I'm certain that if it were a fight, TY would be no match for me. But you know what, it was a dream, so even if I were capable of fighting back, I couldn't. I can't do what I want in a dream."

"If I could resist, I wouldn't need you as a therapist!"

The Portuguese man spoke a bit harshly, but the doctor remained very calm. He even noted down Ronaldo's behavior in his notebook for the next consultation.

"Hmm... You just told me that you dreamed many times that TY cornered you. Has this ever happened in real life? Hmm... Don't worry, I will keep this a secret for you."

"..."

Cristiano Ronaldo gritted his teeth, then shook his head: "No."

"No? That's strange."

The doctor took a deep breath, squinted, and looked Ronaldo up and down: "If it hasn't happened in real life, you shouldn't be having the same dream so many times..."

"Can you please hurry up?"

Cristiano Ronaldo was getting anxious: "My agent assured me that I wouldn't have these nightmares again after completing one course of treatment, but now the course is almost over and my condition is getting worse!"

"..."

Jorge!

Leaving the room, Ronaldo found Mendes waiting at the door: "I told you seeing a psychologist is useless! All psychologists are liars!"

“When I came here last month, I told him about my situation, and he suggested I watch the animated series ‘GG Bond’?”

"Fuck!"

Cristiano Ronaldo exclaimed, "I was only being whipped, and now I'm being attacked by TY in my dream with his skills? Do you know what that feels like? He summons an armored figure with flames on its fists and he's hitting me right in the head!"

"He told me that watching that cartoon could help alleviate my condition."

"Relieve what?!"

"Hey, calm down, calm down!"

Mendes stood up.

Cristiano Ronaldo's agent is now sweating profusely.

He had assumed that having nightmares would be resolved quickly, but it now appears he underestimated the severity of the situation.

"Perhaps... Ronnie, we'll have to wait until the season is over. Things should be fine once we leave Manchester United."

No, you misunderstood!

Cristiano Ronaldo shouted again: "When things weren't this bad, I thought leaving Manchester United would solve everything. But not now. I guarantee that even if I leave Manchester United, I'll still have this dream. You know, being cornered!"

"Actually, you don't need to be so upset. You told me that you've never been cornered by TY in real life, so all of this is fake. There's no need to be nervous."

"...fuck!"

Cristiano Ronaldo gritted his teeth and angrily flung his hand away.

"Going back to Manchester United was a mistake!"

"I'm a substitute every day now, I haven't started a single game. What if we win the Champions League? What if we win the Premier League? Will I be able to go on and lift the trophy with them?"

"Logically speaking, it is possible... cough cough."

Mendes realized he had said something inappropriate and immediately stopped.

That guy Ronnie.

If he's always a substitute, he probably wouldn't want to go up and lift the trophy...

"call……"

Cristiano Ronaldo took a deep breath: "Let's wait until the season ends."

"I've already lost my chance."

“TY and his people have banded together, there’s nothing I can do, so let it be.”

"Don't offer any more suggestions. I've talked to Rhodes and Osman, but it's no use. Even if they agreed, that idiot Eric wouldn't listen to them!"

"I will tell the reporters when the season is almost over. No, I will tell the reporters at the right time, hold a press conference, and let all the football reporters in Europe see Eric and let them see Eric's true colors."

With his hand on Mendes' shoulder, Ronaldo looked into his agent's eyes and said, "You don't need to try to persuade me anymore. I will not accept this injustice."

"correct."

"Please also find Morgan for me; I'd like to be interviewed by him."

……

Match Preview: Champions League Quarter-Final Second Leg, April 17th. Can Manchester United, leading by three goals from the first leg, easily defeat Villarreal and advance? Is Cristiano Ronaldo, a fringe player, already past his prime at Manchester United?

At first, some people were defiant, saying that Ten Hag would gradually accept Ronaldo.

But now, all the facts prove that the Portuguese player will no longer get a chance at Manchester United.

The opportunity mentioned here refers to "any opportunity".

Ten Hag won't let Ronaldo perform well!
Eric is indeed disgusting, but what's really bad is that Ten Hag's record at Manchester United was good enough that he had a group of loyal followers who would never betray him.

These believers felt that things had come to this point and it was no longer just Ten Hach's problem.

When he first joined the team, Ronaldo expressed his dissatisfaction with the tactics and made many remarks about Ten Hag in front of reporters.

These believers think that if Ronaldo hadn't said those things, his situation would likely be much better now.

Because everyone knows that Eric is a very petty person; his narrow mind can only hold finely processed cat food, not iron screws that he can't bite through.

Wrong wrong wrong!
It's both Eric and Cristiano's fault!

"Beep!"

There is one day left until Manchester United's home game against Villarreal.

In the afternoon after training, Ten Hag held a notebook, and the players gathered in front of him.

“We used to announce the starting lineup via WhatsApp at night, but I think that was unnecessary. Now that we’ve come this far, we need to stick together, so I’ll assume you won’t betray our starting lineup.”

With such good results, the players had no reason to betray him, so Ten Hag simply let go.

Without realizing it, Ronaldo rolled his eyes at Ten Hag.

Ten Hag noticed Ronaldo's eye roll and immediately rolled his own back, showing his disdain.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

"Defenders: De Ligt, Lisandro, Wan-Bissaka, Diogo (Dalot)."

Midfielders: Bruno, De Jong, Tom.

Forwards: Marcus, AD (Ousmane Dembélé), Ronaldo.

"that is it."

"If you have any questions, contact me before dinner. I won't wait up if you're late."
