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

Chapter 853 The Ballon d'Or was Tang Ye's last glory before the World Cup.

"Next up is this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or winner... Tang Ye!"

The host took the microphone and clapped first, quickly enlivening the atmosphere.

clap clap clap!
clap clap clap!
Tang Ye stood up from his seat and bowed in all directions to express his gratitude.

Dembele patted Tang Ye on the back, and the two hugged.

Cristiano Ronaldo also stood up, shook hands with Tang Ye, and then hugged him. After that, the latter began to walk towards the podium.

"TangYe, the Man United and China..."

"This is the winner of the 2022 FIFA Ballon d'Or, and the player's fourth time receiving the award."

Tang Ye clapped with the host, walked to the podium, and received the Golden Globe Award trophy from the presenter.

Clap clap clap!

Clap clap clap clap!
Haha, I, Tang Qiuwang, am not far from winning five gold medals!

Is this God? Waaaaah, I've practically watched God grow up!

[Damn it, I don't care about the World Cup, I just want to have fun first. The Ballon d'Or is awesome.]

[Ronaldo really likes Tang Ye, he even made a special trip for him. But is Ronaldo's ranking accurate? I feel Ronaldo should be ranked 15th, right?]

Cristiano Ronaldo's tendency to gravitate towards Tang Ye is becoming increasingly apparent, which has directly led to a rapid reversal of the Portuguese legend's previously negative reputation in China. Some Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain fans have even expressed their support for Ronaldo.

Cristiano, since you're so firmly on my GGBond's side, giving you a period of no-flame privileges isn't a big deal.

Work hard and stay close to GGBond; your treatment will be excellent!
"Thank you, thank you everyone."

Holding the Golden Globe Award, Tang Ye waited until the room quieted down slightly before answering the host's questions.

"The first time I won an award, well... not the first time. The second time I won an award was the most exciting, because last year I received two Golden Globe Awards. That was the most exciting time."

Tang Ye said that he was more excited the second time he stood on this podium than the first time, which was more excited the third time.

Although I wasn't as excited as the previous two times, to be honest, the feeling of winning the award was still very good.

“TY, we know that you have now won four Ballon d'Or awards, which is only one away from Ronaldo and Messi’s five Ballon d'Or awards, and you are only 23 years old.”

"It seems very likely that you could become the first player in football history to win six Ballon d'Or awards, and to win them all consecutively (without interruption)."

"This one……"

"There are still two to go before I reach six, so it's hard to say whether I can get that many. But... I will try my best to seize every opportunity."

Clap clap clap!

Clap clap clap!

Amid applause, Tang Ye kissed the Golden Globe trophy in his hand and then raised it high with one hand.

Dongqiudi pinned post: Tang Ye wins the 2022 Ballon d'Or, his fourth award in his career.

The winners of the 2022 France Football Ballon d'Or:

Ballon d'Or: Tang Ye (Manchester United).

Women's Ballon d'Or: Putras (Barcelona).

Kopa Award (Best Newcomer): Gavi (Barcelona).

Yashin Award (Best Goalkeeper Award): Thibaut Courtois (Real Madrid).

Gerd Müller Award (Best Forward): Lewandowski (Bayern Munich/Barcelona).

Socrates Award (Best Charity): Tang Ye (Manchester United).

Club of the Year: Manchester United.

Tang Ye accepted the award for Club of the Year on behalf of the club, so in total, Tang Ye went on stage three times today.

As the most talked-about star of this year's Ballon d'Or ceremony, Tang Ye was surrounded by reporters as he left the venue after the event. He also received congratulations from many friends on social media, including Pogba, Bruno Fernandes, Ramseyar, and of course, Eskriwa and James.

……

Interview with Ballon d'Or winner Tang Ye by France Football:

The entire interview lasted more than half an hour, and watching the whole video would be tiring, so fans prefer to watch the text summary version.

The video is long, but the written summary is pitifully short. This can only mean one thing: Tang Ye learned many bad habits from his mentor, Teng Hahe; he spends a lot of time talking nonsense!

1. I am optimistic about Gave's potential; every Copa del Rey winner is unique. I will not offer Gave advice because I am not particularly familiar with the Spaniard's technique. I hope to have some exchanges with him in the future.

2. Manchester United is a great club, without a doubt.

3. He will challenge Messi and Ronaldo's record of 5 Ballon d'Or awards, but that will take some time.

4. Sometimes I think I am the best in the world, but being the best in the world needs time to prove myself. My football experience is still too short compared to other legendary players.

5,……

The fifth summary is about Ten Hag, but in this summary, the person in charge, who is also the author, suggests that fans watch the video at 26 minutes and 44 seconds to see Tang Ye's response. The author stated that "this part is very interesting."

As requested, the interview video was played at 26 minutes and 44 seconds. The person in the video is a female reporter, who is the guest who was responsible for interviewing Tang Ye today.

"As one of the greatest players of our time, you are a staunch executor of Ten Hag's tactical philosophy. So what is Eric to you?"

“Well, Eric is an excellent coach, he was in my…”

Tang Ye gave a very decisive answer to this question, without the slightest hesitation in his eyes.

Then came the next question: "So what do you think of the controversy surrounding him online right now?"

"..."

In stark contrast to his earlier decisiveness, Tang Ye fell silent when asked this question.

Judging from his expression, Tang Ye was going through a very intense internal struggle.

In other words—my mind is itching.

“Yes, I know about the controversy surrounding Eric, and a lot of it has been exaggerated. Eric and Ferran got into a fight, which I strongly oppose; it's not the right way to resolve issues.”

The reporter nodded at first, and then added some more details.

She wanted to ask more than just about the fight between Ten Hag and Eskriva at the fight gym.

More than the physical confrontation, the reporter wanted to know Tang Ye's opinion on Ronaldo's remarks.

Do you think Ronaldo is right? Do you support him?

"..."

Tang Ye leaned back, his expression terrifyingly serious.

The look on his face in the shot gave the impression that he was extremely hesitant and completely unsure of what to do next. Damn it!

Tom, you're a top athlete who can handle free kicks rationally in the Champions League knockout stage!

Why hesitate so much over such a simple matter of words!
Don't you know how to answer?

The reporter moved slightly closer to Tang Ye and asked with concern.

"I, I just... well, actually I just don't know how to express myself well."

Tang Ye shook his head: "Eric did make some mistakes, but I don't think I would completely agree with or disagree with what Ronaldo said. They don't have absolute reference value."

"Eric is a very good coach, and his team has a very good track record."

"Well, that's all I can say."

……

Editor-in-Chief of World Sport: The group draw will see them drawn against Argentina and Germany. The Ballon d'Or is TY's last glory before the Qatar World Cup.

Mundo Deportivo is really asking for trouble. One news item made both Manchester United fans and Chinese fans unhappy, and fans who only support Tang Ye were furious.

This newspaper is disgusting. They shouldn't have made those sarcastic remarks when Tang Ye just won the Golden Globe Award!
However, when fans tried to find reasons to refute Mundo Deportivo, they failed.

If you try to single out Tang Ye or Manchester United, you'll inevitably get a bloody nose.

But if you drag Tang Ye into the discussion of attacking the Chinese team, then the fans will feel very uncomfortable.

In response to the comments from Mundo Deportivo, Chinese fans could only offer one reply: to pull out the score sheet of the Chinese national team's match against Germany in the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

Then another football referee might ask: You beat Germany in 2018, what does that have to do with Germany in 2022?
Not only will they refute it, but these judges will even include the projected starting lineup for the German national team this year, and then you will see a lineup of Bundesliga and Premier League players, or at least players from one of the top five leagues.

The situation is rather awkward for the Chinese team, as they only have three players from the top five European leagues, with Zhang Yuning being a super substitute who rarely gets playing time.

"The Ballon d'Or is TY's last glory before the Qatar World Cup." Analyzing the issue from this perspective, the editor-in-chief of Mundo Deportivo's statement is not without merit.

As members of Group C, the players from Argentina, Germany, and even Wales are actually very lucky because...

They had the chance to kill a god!
……

Detailed scores for the 2022 Globe Awards:

1. Tang Ye, 622 points.

2. Benzema, 209 points.

3. Dembele, 177 points.

4. Mane, 130 points.

5. Rodri, 129 points.

……

18. Cristiano Ronaldo, 3 points.

This is Ronaldo's lowest ranking ever, bar none.

A ranking of 18 that would get Ronaldo to attend the awards ceremony shows how much respect the Portuguese have for FIFA.

"Although you were ranked 18th, you still attended the awards ceremony."

"Fans thought you were planning to make some targeted remarks about Eric in the store, but it seems that the fans' speculation didn't happen?"

The reporter hinted at Ronaldo.

The party is over. Have you forgotten something important?

If we don't criticize Ten Hach now, we'll never have such a good opportunity again!

"I'm just here to attend the awards ceremony, that's all."

Cristiano Ronaldo scoffed: "Eric's problem is his problem. I was just the one who brought it up, not the one who solved it. At least I don't have the ability to solve Ten Hag's problem. I'm just a former Manchester United player now."

Do you think the so-called 'mouse' will eventually get off the 'cat's' back?

"Maybe, maybe not. Nobody can see what the future holds. For example, if you ask TY how many Golden Globe Awards he can win right now, he can't answer you."

“Okay, Cristiano, according to you, you're where you are today because of TY ten Hach. Do you think TY should bear some responsibility for this? Or…”

The reporter paused briefly here: "Was it TY who indirectly led to your return to Manchester United last season and being targeted by Ten Hag?"

"I don't think there's such a strong causal relationship here."

Cristiano Ronaldo shrugged: "As a professional player, TY did a great job. His role at Manchester United is unparalleled, that's for sure. As for Ten Hag... well, TY did act immaturely in some aspects, but there's nothing that can be done. You can't expect someone to be perfect in everything; that's not human."

"What happened to me at Manchester United was caused by Eric and myself, and had nothing to do with anyone else."

"Um……"

"Ronnie, you seem to have a very high opinion of TY? I remember you didn't use so many words of praise when you were evaluating Messi."

"Did I say a lot? Haha."

Cristiano Ronaldo smiled first, then raised his hand.

"Okay, I don't know if I've said enough. But... well, TY is indeed a very good player... yeah, very good..."

The Portuguese man nodded slightly as he spoke, giving the impression that he was seriously recalling something.

For fans, they are genuinely curious about Ronaldo's life at Manchester United last season.

What are the places the media doesn't see really like?

Why does Cristiano Ronaldo treat Donny and Ten Hag so differently?

Shouldn't TY and Eric be on the same side?
……

On November 12, Manchester United defeated Fulham 6-3 away from home.

This is the 16th round of the Premier League this season, and Manchester United are still unbeaten.

However, the end of this match also marked the suspension of the current Premier League season.

Following suit, Ligue 1 and La Liga also announced their suspension.

After the Inter Milan vs. Napoli match on November 14, the entire top five European leagues went into suspension, and key players from these clubs began to fly back to their home countries.
