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

Chapter 846 The Sun's Self-Proof Trap, Rat DNA in Ten Hah's Body
Dongqiudi Match Report: Wales 1-0 Ukraine, qualifying for the World Cup for the first time since 1958; Bale forces an own goal. (23514 comments)

China's final opponent in Group C has finally been decided.

The good news is that we know who our opponents are, so we can start researching them.

But there's another piece of bad news: they'll be playing against Wales, a team centered around Bale.

For the Chinese team, what they fear most is players who use violent attacks.

The gap in physical fitness is often difficult to bridge, and the biggest problem is wanting to get back on defense but not being able to catch up.

After the draw results came out, Chinese football fans hoped that Tang Ye or Eskriva would say something, but these two guys are also incredible. Eskriva is busy preparing dinner with Ten Hag and also saying a few words for Ten Hag on behalf of Ronaldo online. Tang Ye is even more amazing, spending all his time on the football field at Beijing Sport University doing something.

"Beep!"

A whistle sounded from afar, and Tang Ye began to run forward.

Aim at the ball that is placed on the open ground ahead.

Snapped!
A very crisp sound rang out as the ball, carrying bits of grass, soared into the sky. Tang Ye alternated between his feet, completing the final step of releasing the force.

"Is it okay now?"

After getting a thumbs-up from the photographer behind him, Tang Ye relaxed.

"Not a single mistake, King Tang."

Zheng Zhi clapped his hands and came over.

Although it was just some simple passing and shooting moves, Tang Ye played very steadily, without making a single mistake from half an hour ago until now.

That's definitely an exaggeration.

"We have to be careful. The textbooks can't be wrong. I'm one of the authors."

Tang Ye joked, "The movements must be 100% standard, otherwise I'll be the one to take the blame if they learn it wrong."

Tang Ye was really excited when he learned that he would be participating in the task of compiling football teaching materials. He felt like he was going to dedicate himself to a great cause.

"Will many people see this textbook?"

Tang Ye suddenly asked.

"No, only those majoring in sports."

"That's...ok."

I was a little disappointed, but upon closer reflection, it made sense.

Football is far less important than Chinese and mathematics, so not many people study the textbooks they write.

"However, I think a lot of people will buy this book because they see that you are the author."

"GG~Bond!"

Zheng Zhi said Tang Ye's nickname in a strange tone.

"Ha ha!"

"Ok, Ok."

Tang Ye shook his leg: "Well, I guess I can be considered a cultural worker now, the kind who's very cultured."

"Um……"

Zheng Zhi nodded thoughtfully: "Strictly speaking, that is true, but you only participated in the filming of the teaching videos. You didn't actually write anything. The writing was done by the professors."

"I can help with that too."

It seems Tang Ye really wants to write a book: "I can write about things in the book, like how different teams in the Premier League should play. Hmm... not just that, I can also write about other leagues, wow... I know Real Madrid too well, I'm not kidding you."

"This is an undergraduate textbook!"

Zheng Zhi interrupted.

Although the master was very generous and willing to share his profound knowledge.

However, when you are teaching students, you must also consider their level and not teach blindly.

"However, you could write some suggestions, right at the very beginning of the book."

As Zheng Zhi spoke, he took his phone out of his pocket: "Let me show you what this book is expected to look like. The text is almost finished, and it should be... well, it should be published in about two months."

……

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano: Manchester United have essentially completed contract extension negotiations with Rodri, and the player is expected to extend his contract until 2027 with a minimum weekly wage of £40.

Manchester United have announced that they will not activate the continuation clause in Cristiano Ronaldo's contract due to tactical salary negotiations.

Cristiano Ronaldo's contract with Manchester United still has more than half a month left before it officially expires. However, due to Ronaldo's criticism of Ten Hag, Manchester United has decided to announce in advance that they will not continue Ronaldo's employment relationship.

Pay attention to Ten Hach.

Cristiano Ronaldo is, after all, a legendary player, and as a coach, Erik ten Hag needs to step up and answer reporters' questions at this time.

There are also some things happening in the transfer window. Of course, compared to the Ronaldo situation, the transfer window is just a side topic.

Click, click, click!

Click, click, click, click!

The scene was quite lively. Before Ten Hach even sat down, the photographers started snapping away. The reporters at the front even stood up and moved forward to get closer to Eric.

A reporter from The Sun shoved the microphone right into Ten Hag's eyes: "Eric, do you agree with Ronaldo's accusations against you?"

What is your opinion on Ronaldo's statement? Do you think he is right?

"Did you plagiarize some of the results of Manchester United players' efforts?"

"..."

"Calm down, calm down first."

Ten Hach sat down in the chair.

I had prepared myself mentally before coming, but the situation on the spot was indeed a bit beyond my expectations: "I know you are all very anxious right now, but you need to be quiet so that I can answer your questions."

Ten Hagh was looking at the Sun reporter while he spoke.

"..."

After the reporter stepped back and asked the question again, Ten Hach finally spoke.

“Cristiano has a very bad opinion of me, but I think it’s understandable. Compared to when he first played for Manchester United more than 10 years ago, Ronaldo received a lot of privileges last season. I know he must feel a bit resentful.”

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Football is a game for young people."

Click, click, click!

Ten Hag does not deny Ronaldo's past abilities, but in his opinion, Ronaldo's return to Manchester United this time is a bit too arrogant, and his gradually declining strength in his old age can no longer support his arrogance.

"Does he think he's being targeted by you?"

"...I know, but this is essentially his problem."

Ten Hag looked displeased: "I brought him on in the 80th minute as part of the tactical plan, but he took it as an insult."

"What I want to say is that the team is always above the individual. So when I look at Ronaldo, I focus more on his contributions to the team as a whole, rather than his legendary honors."

Judging from Ten Hah's answer, it seems that there is indeed no problem with this matter.

But Eric has been famous for many years, and many journalists are aware of his flaws—perhaps even more so than Ronaldo.

"Ronaldo called you a rat, stealing the fruits of players' hard work..."

"No, no, no, that's absolutely impossible."

The reporter interrupted the Mail reporter directly: "It's obvious that this is impossible. If I were stealing the fruits of the players' hard work, Manchester United wouldn't have achieved so much. We've won... well, three Premier League titles and two Champions League titles."

"But TY and Rhodes played an important role during this period."

Can you prove you're not a rat?

The Sun reporter suddenly said.

"Of course, what do you want me to do? I can accept any proof."

The reporter tilted his head and suddenly said, "Then can you undergo DNA testing to prove that there are no mouse genes in your genes?"

"?"

“Before coming here, we caught a healthy, young rat in the Manchester sewers, and we thought its genes were very representative. If you want to prove you’re not a rat, I’d like you to take a DNA test to prove you have no relation to rats.”

"No, no, no, that's absurd. I have no reason to do that. It doesn't make any sense at all."

"Then how do you need to prove it?"

"Or you could win a Premier League title or a Champions League title while TY is not around."

"Well, I think that's a good idea."

Ten Hag shrugged: "I can try, but it might take a while because TY is still very young." "TY wasn't here last season, but your Premier League and Champions League plans failed."

"..."

Ten Hach stared into the reporter's eyes.

The reporter from The Sun is disgusting; he insisted that Ten Hah do this DNA test no matter what.

This is clearly a self-proving trap, and a very absurd one at that.

What should Ten Hag do now?

After falling into the trap, climb out and then take a detour to get away?

This is definitely not a good solution, because reporters and fans all want Ten Hag to undergo the DNA test.

If Ten Hag doesn't get a DNA test, those despicable reporters and fans will bring up Manchester United's performance last season.

But if Ten Hag does this DNA test, then he'll really become a clown.

Ten Hach's response to this was...

"This is a topic worth discussing, but I have some things to take care of right now. I have a good relationship with Ferran, and we should get together during the off-season. You know, I'm the club coach and he's the national team coach, so we rarely have time to be free at the same time. Right now, I need to focus on having dinner with Ferran, which I believe will be a very good get-together."

Click, click, click!

……

Hot Topic: Reporters hope Ten Hag will undergo DNA testing to prove that he does not have rat-related substances in his body.

European football journalists have gone to extreme lengths to deal with Ten Hag.

In comparison, the journalists on the Chinese side are much better.

Chinese journalists don't play with things like rats; they respect intellectuals and constantly report on Tang Ye's excellent academic achievements at university, while also encouraging him to participate in the World University Games held in Chengdu.

Their reasoning was simple: Tang Ye met all the requirements to represent Chinese universities at the World University Games: undergraduate or graduate student, from a top 500 university in the world, 28 years of age or younger, and not playing for a club in the Chinese Super League, China League One, China League Two, or other leagues.

Of course, meeting the requirements does not mean that one has to participate. Tang Ye had just finished some trivial matters in China and went to Europe.

The incident stemmed from an interaction between Tang Ye and Cristiano Ronaldo on Twitter.

Cristiano Ronaldo retweeted news about his goal in the UEFA Nations League match, and Tang Ye commented "good!" below. Ronaldo then replied in the comments section: "Watching the game."

At first, Tang Ye thought Ronaldo was joking, but after chatting for a while, he realized that the Portuguese was not joking at all. He even sent Tang Ye a guest invitation to a UEFA Nations League A match.

Since that's the case, Tang Ye has no choice but to go and watch the Portugal vs. Czech Republic match live, while also completing his advertising shoot for several European sponsors.

UEFA Nations League A.

Portugal vs. Czech Republic.

"Today we would like to welcome two very special guests... (Portuguese)"

Wow!!!

Before the host could even make an introduction, the Portuguese fans in the audience were already screaming.

For the fans at the scene, it was really unnecessary for the host to specifically introduce Tang Ye and Mata, because everyone definitely knew these two players.

Tang Ye and Mata were in front of the bench, clapping one by one with the Portuguese starting players who came out of the player tunnel.

"Bruno!"

Tang Ye hugged B Fei, and the two bumped into each other: "Go for it!"

"Haha, definitely!"

Walking behind Pepe was Cristiano Ronaldo, and Tang Ye took the initiative to walk over and say, "Ronaldo."

"What an honor."

Cristiano Ronaldo opened his arms and hugged Tang Ye, patting Tang Ye's back repeatedly with his right hand: "Trust me, you will definitely not come for nothing. This will be a wonderful game."

"Of course, I didn't just come here casually."

"I came here specifically to study you."

Tang Ye covered his mouth: "If we meet in the World Cup knockout stage, you might not be able to beat us."

"Wow, that's terrible!"

Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Ye bumped fists.

After returning to his seat in the first-floor stands, Tang Ye agreed to take a photo with a fan next to him, and then focused his attention on the game.

This is indeed a great vantage point to watch the game and get a feel for Portugal's strength.

Many European teams use similar tactics, which can be seen as a form of preparation for the World Cup finals.

[Mission Objective: Unite the Nine Lords]

You've gained a new follower.

Diogo Dalot (Portugal national team key player: FIFA ranked 7th)

? ? ? ?
“Beep!!!!”

Just then, the referee blew the whistle to start the match. Tang Ye looked at Dalot on the field, and then at the Portuguese coach Fernando Sanchez in front of the bench.

Oh.

Club success has benefited the national team, and unexpectedly, Dalot has become the biggest beneficiary. A Premier League title and a Champions League title directly propelled him from the bench to the starting position of the national team.

It's kind of funny, because Tang Ye never considered that he would be better off relying on the Portuguese to complete this task.

……

Meanwhile, in Spain.

The second day of the FIFA Coaches Summit was the day Eskeriva invited Ten Hag to dinner.

There were countless reporters at the scene, along with some fans who were just there to watch the spectacle.

In fact, Eskeriva did not actively invite these reporters. He simply revealed the time and place of his meal with Ten Hag, and reporters who wanted to know about the matter naturally flocked to the scene.

Good evening, Eric.

"Well, good evening."

Amidst the flashing lights, Ten Hah greeted reporters as he gradually walked towards the building in front of him.

When the security guards at the entrance saw that it was Ten Hah, they immediately opened the door for him and also let the reporters in.

Wow.

Ferran booked the entire restaurant today; that's quite a generous gesture.

"Eric, over here."

Eskriwa and Ten Hag waved, and Ten Hag also raised his hand.

"Hmm...why are you dressed like this?"

Ten Hach frowned.

After discovering that Eskeriva was only wearing a vest, he began to carefully examine the layout of the house.

It was supposed to be dinner, but there was no dining table or tableware in the room.

There was only one carefully cared-for octagonal cage.

"?"

Ten Hah panicked instantly; his hands trembled and his body involuntarily stepped back.

"Fei...Fei Lan, wasn't this supposed to be a dinner appointment? This is...dinner?"

"Yes, that's right."

Eskeriva stood up and slammed his two gloved hands against his chest, making a "bang bang" sound.

Pointing to a sign hanging above the house.

【CENA】

"Dinner" in Italian.

This is the name of the fighting arena.

"Come on, Eric!"

What are you still hesitating for!
