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

Chapter 830 Undefeated Against Bayern Munich in His Professional Career (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets!)

Speed: 86 → 87

[Defense: 82→83]

Once you have a talent, leveling up your stats becomes much easier.

However, perhaps due to his playing style, Tang Ye did not feel a significant increase in his speed.

The speed has increased from 82 to 87, but the increase is mostly in the maximum speed, not the acceleration.

In other words, Tang Ye can only showcase his speed when sprinting down the side lanes.

However, sprinting down the flanks was something Tang Ye liked to do in his early days at Manchester United and Dortmund. Now, Manchester United has two fast players, Rashford and Dembele, and Wan-Bissaka and Dalot are also fast enough. Tang Ye only needs to stay in the middle and distribute the cards, which is very comfortable.

I guess I'll only have a chance to show off my speed after winning the World Cup?
……

Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports betting platform) is buzzing with discussion: Saudi Arabian teams have officially offered Cristiano Ronaldo a $2 million annual salary plus a $1 million signing bonus.

"It is reported that Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr has made a lucrative offer for Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese player's contract with Manchester United expires in July this year, but according to the basic contract, Manchester United has the right of first refusal to sign Ronaldo."

With a $2 million annual salary and a $1 million signing bonus, the team called "Riyadh Victory" clearly adores Cristiano Ronaldo.

A $2 million annual salary is definitely not a problem, but there's a detail regarding the $1 million signing bonus: Ronaldo cannot activate the "+1 year" clause in his contract with Manchester United after this season.

In other words, Saudi Arabia is willing to give Ronaldo a signing bonus of $1 million, but only if they can acquire Ronaldo as a free agent, meaning they don't have to pay a transfer fee to Manchester United.

After all, Manchester United has the right of first refusal to renew Ronaldo's contract. If Manchester United renews Ronaldo's contract first and then sells him to Saudi Arabia, wouldn't the oil tycoons suffer a huge loss?
Marca was the first to report the news, and then Romano provided his own information: Ronaldo's agent, Mendes, is seriously considering the matter.

The moment Romano's news broke, the entire football world was in an uproar.

Indeed, upon closer reflection, at Ronaldo's age, it wouldn't be a bad thing if he could go to Saudi Arabia and earn a high salary.

A $2 million pension fund every year, that's perfect!
However, some fans pointed out that given Ronaldo's obsessive pursuit of honors, he might very well prefer to stay at Manchester United.

Staying at Manchester United means earning less than £2000 million a year after tax, which is far less than $2 million, but you can win championships!

Fans have done a simple analysis and concluded that with Manchester United's current squad, Ronaldo only needs to come off the bench and make a few appearances next season, and the Premier League and Champions League titles will be a piece of cake.

To stay or to leave, that is the question.

……

"Cristiano must leave this place. I will not compromise on this matter this time!"

In the office, Ten Hach and Van der Gach revealed their thoughts.

The Manchester United manager's attitude is very firm.

Actually, he never thought about bringing Ronaldo back to Manchester United last season, but Manchester United failed to win either the Premier League or the Champions League last season, which made it impossible for Ten Hag to "give a speech" to the club's management.

This season is different.

With just one Premier League title, Ten Hag already has enough influence.

"Even if they asked Ronaldo to stay, it wouldn't work. I'm talking about Glazer coming to me personally, it still wouldn't work."

Ten Hach tapped the table.

"Um... what I mean is, if he doesn't interfere with other things, it's fine to keep him as management wants. You don't need to let him play; just leave him hanging."

Van der Gach whispered, "Eric, don't go against management."

Van der Gach wanted to keep Ronaldo as a mascot, but Ten Hag believed that even being a mascot was unacceptable.

"No! You know Michelle, I get dizzy just looking at him now, to the point where I need to go to the hospital."

As he spoke, Ten Hach put his hand on his forehead, leaving Van der Gach speechless.

"His presence here can increase the team's revenue, but while revenue may increase, what about performance?"

Ten Hach's meaning is already quite clear.

He wanted to tell the club's management that his coaching ability would be affected if Ronaldo stayed with the team.

As for why it was affected.

Don't ask me that.

The question is, why does seeing Cristiano Ronaldo give me a headache? I went to the hospital, but it didn't help because it's not a medical problem.

What troubled Tenhach was the magnetic field.

He and Cristiano Ronaldo have a repulsive magnetic field; whenever they stand together, Ten Hag will suffer from splitting headaches and feel like he's dying.

Manchester United's management needs to consider the safety of manager Erik ten Hag when deciding on Cristiano Ronaldo's future; they cannot disregard the manager's life or death!
"That's...ok."

Since that's the case, then van der Gahr has nothing to say.

However, Ten Hag was not finished speaking.

"I assure you, he will come looking for me."

"What are you looking for?"

"You came to talk to me about staying on the team!"

Van der Gach's slow reaction displeased Ten Hach.

“He will talk to me about staying on the team; he wants to stay here.”

"But no matter what he says, I won't agree. It's no use if he comes to me."

"..."

……

pia!

pia!

"Tom! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I've already apologized!"

Cristiano Ronaldo was tied to a pillar, his body covered in bruises and his clothes were tattered. It's hard to imagine the torture he endured in the past half hour.

"Stop hitting?"

Tang Ye, wearing a crown, rebuked, "Do you think you can just say you won't fight and then not fight?"

“I pleaded with Eric many times to help you when you were desperate. But what did you do?”

pia!

Another lash, and Ronaldo let out a painful howl.

"You actually said 'I don't need anyone's help'? Haha! Do you think you'd still be on the field right now without anyone's help?"

"Speak! Cristiano!"

“…No, I can’t.”

Cristiano Ronaldo lowered his head: "That's why I apologized to you..."

"But I'm really not good at apologizing, maybe you didn't understand what I meant. I do know I did something wrong... I promise you..."

pia!

"What's the guarantee?"

"Let's talk after we've finished smoking!"

Pia! Pia!

Upon hearing this, Ronaldo gave up the struggle.

Of course, one should be punished for doing something wrong.

Since I made a mistake and misunderstood Tang Ye, it's not unreasonable to accept punishment.

Isn't this what a sinner like myself should do?

If my whipping can alleviate Tang Ye's grievances... then let it come!
Cristiano Ronaldo gritted his teeth, opened his eyes, and found himself lying in bed.

"..."

"shit."

Throw the pillow on the floor.

I'm really speechless. I've had the same dream so many times, but why can't I process it in the dream?

Why are all my dreams so real?

and also!

Why is that psychologist so terrible!
Feeling his heart pounding, Ronaldo knew he wouldn't be able to sleep for the rest of the night, so he got out of bed and grabbed his phone.

News of Riyadh's victory offering him a price was everywhere online. Ronaldo sat in his chair, sighed before reading the news, and sighed again after reading it.

A $2 million annual salary, that's really generous!

But those who won in Riyadh probably didn't know that the Portuguese football king they were hoping for was actually a sinner.

This sinner is punished with whipping every night because he committed too many transgressions over the past season.

……

With one day to go before the second leg of the semi-final, Manchester United players have officially arrived at their hotel in Munich.

The day before the match is definitely a day of rest, but Manchester United players can't afford to be idle because today is the Champions League match between Manchester City and Real Madrid.

The winner between the second-placed team in the Premier League this season and the first-placed team in La Liga will be Manchester United's opponent in the final.

"But that's on the condition that we can advance."

Van der Gach added.

"Isn't that guaranteed a spot in the finals?"

Tang Ye said.

There were nearly 30 people in the meeting room, and he was the one who stood out the most because he was the only one squatting on a chair, holding a mobile phone and scrolling through some messages.

Dembele wanted to imitate Tang Ye, but he just couldn't capture the essence.

"Wow, Qatar's stadiums are pretty cool, but there aren't enough of them. Many of them only have 4 seats."

"Too many would look unsightly."

"Rodri said."

Hey!

Ten Hag brought the two, who had strayed off-topic, back on track: "We're talking about the Champions League, not the World Cup!"

"Ok."

Tang Ye put down his phone and continued listening to Ten Hag's analysis of their opponent in tomorrow's match.

Bayern Munich, the Southern Giants!

This team is definitely a formidable opponent for Manchester United, as evidenced by the score of the first leg: Manchester United and Bayern Munich drew 0-0 in the first leg, with neither side gaining any advantage, and Rodri even receiving a yellow card.

So everyone in the Manchester United camp was quite nervous, including the players and fans.

Ten Hag was actually the most nervous, but he didn't show it.

"Many people think we'll pull off an upset, but I hope you can believe in yourselves. This season we're aiming for the Champions League title. No matter how well Bayern plays tomorrow, it doesn't matter. We have to win, and we have to win with our brains."

"What if we lose? Someone asked me this question before. I think only a crazy person would ask such a question. Can we afford to lose?"

"We can't lose."

Tang Ye interrupted.

"Okay, Tom."

Ten Hah nodded, feeling very pleased with Tang Ye's cooperation, as if his apprentice had finally grown up.

"Then tell me, why can't we lose?"

"I have never lost to Bayern in my professional career."

"Ok?"

As soon as Tang Ye finished speaking, many people in the room made strange noises, and Ten Hach frowned: "He's never lost in his entire professional career?"

"Yes, we've drawn before, but we've never lost. We've played many times."

Tang Ye continued.

"Wait a minute, is it true? That's impossible."

Dembele is speaking next to him.

It's really unbelievable that they've never lost to Bayern Munich.

Tang Ye has been playing for top European clubs since he was 16 years old, and he must have played against Bayern Munich many times.

"No, don't you believe me? I just saw it."

Tang Ye opened the Dongqiudi app and swiped his thumb across the homepage a few times.

Hot Topic: Never Missed a Match! Tang Ye has never lost an all-time match against Bayern Munich in his professional career.

"Oh, wait a minute!"

Realizing what was happening, Tang Ye took his phone back, switched to Google, and searched for the same news in English on the browser.

Most of the news on Dongqiudi is reprinted and translated from Europe, so you can find the original English or Spanish versions for most of it.

"wow..."

"It's pretty good."

Ten Hah was at his wit's end and gave Tang Ye a thumbs up.

With the upcoming match against Bayern Munich, the atmosphere within the Manchester United team is indeed very tense.

But upon closer reflection, Bayern Munich should be the ones who need to be more nervous.

The opposing team's captain is undefeated in 8 games against him, a true Munich nightmare.

TY has very broad shoulders, so very broad that if he just spreads his arms, the sky in Munich will turn dark in the next second!
……

After watching the match in the conference room and witnessing Real Madrid eliminate Manchester City in a penalty shootout to advance to the final, the Manchester United players all shook their heads.

The semifinals were really tough; they were all tough matches.

But we'll talk about that tomorrow. What the players need right now is a good night's sleep so they can perform well in tomorrow's game.

"Um, Eric."

Ten Hag was the last to leave, and as soon as he came out of the meeting room, he ran into Cristiano Ronaldo, who was looking at him seriously.

"What's wrong?"

Ten Hag looked puzzled, and at that moment Ronaldo took a step forward.

"Don't do this."

Ten Hag stepped back: "Do you know how many years you can go to jail for assault? You're almost 40 years old now. If you hit me, your career will be over..."

"Um, you haven't announced the starting lineup yet. I just want to know if I'll be able to play tomorrow."

"Oh."

Ten Hach nodded.

First, distance yourself from Ronaldo, then give your answer: "You're not in the starting lineup, but I think you should have a chance."

"..."

After speaking, Ten Hag carefully observed Ronaldo's expression.

It was thought that the Portuguese player would be angry about not starting, but Ronaldo just smiled and said, "It's good that I can play."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Ten Hag nodded, watching Ronaldo leave in front of him.

"..."
