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

Chapter 910 Uncle Kane finally wins the championship, Chinese Football League Alliance

"Beep, beep beep—!!!"

"The match is over!"

"Brothers, 6-2, Manchester United has won this year's Club World Cup, their first title of the season!"

"By the way, hehe, it's also our King Tang's first Club World Cup title."

There was no way around it; the gap in strength was simply too great. For Al-Hilal, defeating Manchester United head-on was virtually an impossible task.

You're facing Manchester United, a team full of players who reached the semi-finals of the last World Cup.

clap clap!

“Vamos Tom!”

“Vamos!”

Upon hearing the sound, Tang Ye stood up from the bench, raised his right fist, and excitedly greeted the fans.

In addition, Tang Ye's attention was always on Kane and never left him, and even the on-site director did the same.

"How do you feel now?"

Kane was so focused on responding to the fans that he didn't seem to hear what Tang Ye was saying.

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye nudged Mata next to him and pointed at Kane: "He's gone mad!"

"Hey, what did you say?"

Kane then turned his head to ask Tang Ye what he had just asked him, but Tang Ye remained silent, pretending that he hadn't done anything.

"Come me!"

Kane felt a little upset, realizing he seemed to have been tricked by the captain: "Don't do this, Tom."

"Don't treat me like a rookie (referring to a new player), I'm old enough to be your uncle."

Generally speaking, rookie players are often pranked by the veterans on the team, and Kane is worried that Tang Ye is treating him like a rookie.

“I really didn’t say anything, Ottoman testified.”

Under Kane's gaze, Dembele raised his hands, feigning innocence: "I don't know anything."

……

[Awesome! Awesome!!]

[Kane's curse isn't that strong, it doesn't even seem as powerful as the curse of the defending champions from France, it was broken in no time.]

[GGBond released an armor penetration item, what did you think?]

How many trophies will Manchester United win this season? Five, perhaps?

The runner-up award ceremony is currently underway, but the music playing from the speakers was completely drowned out by the cheers of the Manchester United fans, making the Crescent Moon players who stood on the podium somewhat embarrassed.

This perfectly illustrates the saying: since Ten Hag joined, Manchester United has become increasingly like bandits. Whether it's the players on the field or the fans off the field, their behavior perfectly embodies the standards of bandits.

"Next up is the award ceremony for the champion."

"This is the champion team of this year's Club World Cup, representing European teams: Manchester United!"

Following Ten Hag and Tang Ye, Manchester United players took turns walking onto the podium. Tang Ye and Infantino met again after the World Cup third-place award ceremony.

"Mr. Chairman."

Tang Ye and Infantino shook hands and embraced.

“You have done a lot of things.”

"Ok?"

“Oh, I’m talking about Chinese football. You’ve done a lot for your country’s football.”

Infantino smiled at Tang Ye: "You're very bold. You know, China is too big, and some things aren't so easy to handle."

“But I feel we can’t get any worse. The gap between our league level (referring to the Chinese Super League, China League Two, etc.) and the national team’s level is too big. There’s no future in it. We have to do something.”

"Well, that's a good idea, and if it works, we could make a lot of money from it."

Infantino's eyes were narrowed to slits, giving the impression that he was about to drool.

FIFA has some oversight capabilities over the Chinese Football Association, but these capabilities are insufficient for Infantino to do anything, not even expand into the Chinese market.

Judging from Tang Ye's recent actions... it seems like this guy is planning to make a big profit from this!
"Making money is secondary."

Tang Ye's words surprised Infantino: "If it can really be developed, I can afford to lose some money."

"Wow!"

Infantino nodded, it was unclear whether he believed Tang Ye's words: "I wish you success."

Infantino didn't say anything about offering help to Tang Ye, because in reality, FIFA couldn't do much.

All they can do is provide financial support, but Infantino won't do anything until he's sure things will go well.

Tang Yeqiang is focused on playing football and competing, not on managing the Chinese football league. This means there's a very high probability that this venture will lose money. FIFA can only wait until they understand Tang Yeqiang's thinking.

Wish me luck.

Tang Ye and Infantino shook hands again.

"Come."

Ten Hach handed the trophy to Tang Ye in the middle of the team, who first kissed the trophy, then looked at Kane next to him and asked, "Want one?"

"You go first."

"No, I meant you should lift it."

"Wow? Hiss..."

Kane took a deep breath: "I don't think this might be a good idea?"

"what?"

Kane's English was a bit abstract, as if his tongue and lips were stuck together, which made Tang Ye unable to understand him.

It didn't matter if he didn't understand. Tang Ye didn't argue with his teammates and simply shoved the trophy into Kane's arms.

"Wow!"

Kane's smile quickly spread across his face.

"Then leave it to me."

"call……"

Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!

The newly set-up podium kept shaking up and down, and the team members jumped around, waiting for Kane's countdown.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Wow!!!!"

boom!
Bang bang bang!
Golden fireworks shot into the sky as Kane raised the trophy above his head, his expression terrifying.

"Fuck!"

mua!

Kane kissed the trophy: "Haha, fuck!"

“This is just the beginning!” Tang Ye shouted in Kane’s ear.

"What? You say louder? Everyone else speaks louder than you!"

"I said, this is just the beginning!"

"what?"

"Forget it, just play by yourself."

Tang Ye pinched Kane's ear.

Harry's hearing isn't very good, and the Manchester United captain took note of that.

Dongqiudi Match Report: Kane scores his first hat-trick for Manchester United and wins the Club World Cup MVP! Manchester United thrashes Al-Hilal 6-2 to claim the title, bringing their season title count to 1. (679724 comments)

Fans are getting a little anxious, as the season is only halfway through and they're already counting Manchester United's total number of titles.

To be fair, Manchester United has a pretty good chance this season. If they win all the remaining games, they could break their own record of four titles in a single season.

Ten Hach responded to Tang Ye's contract renewal: "We are considering this matter, but regarding the details of the contract, management believes there are still some things that need to be discussed further."

"TY's contract with Manchester United has one and a half seasons left. Sources revealed that there is a huge controversy within Manchester United regarding TY's new contract salary. Some members of the management support offering TY a seven-year contract with a weekly wage of more than £800,000 to avoid the possibility of other teams poaching him temporarily. However, some shareholders believe that the salary is too extravagant and hope to keep TY's weekly wage around £600,000."

"Furthermore, the offers from Saudi clubs and Paris Saint-Germain will inevitably lead to an increase in TY's salary demands. It will not be easy for TY and the club to reach an agreement."

Fans learned about Tang Ye's contract situation based on so-called "insider information".

Bad news: Manchester United are doing a terrible job. A contract extension, which started in the middle of last season, has been a whole year and is still not done.

Good news: Saudi Arabia is too weak, Real Madrid has strict salary restrictions, Barcelona is in financial crisis, and the overall strength of Ligue 1, where Paris Saint-Germain plays, is relatively weak. At present, there are basically no other teams in the football world that are as competitive as Manchester United. Therefore, the remaining year and a half is more than enough time for both parties to negotiate a contract.

《碾压！欧冠1/8决赛曼联双回合领先5球击败法兰克福，1/4决赛对手暂未确定》

After being substituted off the pitch, Frenkie de Jong was photographed by fans being taken to the hospital; Manchester United later officially announced that he would be out for at least two months.

"A sextuple plan? Ten Hag reveals in post-match interview that Manchester United hopes to win five trophies this season, and is currently 40% complete."

Ten Hag has always loved to boast, and he often says things that make people laugh in post-match interviews.

But this time, with this "six-time champion plan" being announced, there really isn't a single journalist who dares to contradict Eric.

With Kane replacing Ronaldo, Ten Hag no longer harbored any prejudice or hatred towards any starting player, which led to Manchester United's fighting power being completely unleashed this season, making them incredibly strong.

De Ligt's performance has been inconsistent, De Jong and Luke Shaw are injured, and De Gea is getting old?

None of this matters. No team can be truly perfect. Manchester United's current squad is enough for them to crush everything.

Currently, it seems that Manchester City is the only team in the entire Champions League with a good chance of beating Manchester United.

However, these two teams are from the same league, and the current Premier League standings speak for themselves.

Even Guardiola's Manchester City would have a tough time beating Manchester United!

……

On March 17, Manchester United faced AC Milan in the Champions League quarter-final draw. AC Milan is one of the dark horses in this year's Champions League and a tough opponent.

Nevertheless, many fans believe the match between these two teams is a foregone conclusion, with the greater anticipation being for the clash between Real Madrid and Manchester City in the upper bracket.

Logically, after the draw, fans of Real Madrid and Manchester City on Dongqiudi should have started joking with each other, but March 17th is a special date, at least for Chinese fans.

According to sources from Titan Sports, Tang Ye, in his capacity as deputy secretary of the Youth Training Management Department and captain of the national team, participated in the Chinese Football Association's remote meeting in March. He proposed a preliminary separation of the Football Association and the league, and the establishment of the Chinese Football League Alliance. However, this proposal was met with strong opposition and ultimately failed to materialize.

"According to our understanding, Tang Ye was criticized at the meeting because reducing the Football Association's control over the league was considered 'extremely unreasonable,' and the Football Association officials hoped that Tang Ye would not listen to too much 'foreign advice.'"

The so-called "suggestion from a foreigner" was, of course, Bohr's.

Everyone knows that Tang Ye didn't come up with these things on his own; after all, he is a professional athlete.

There was always someone behind Tang Ye advising him, namely Bohr, the CEO of Pop Bond, a former "top three football agent in the world" and "scout of Utrecht Club".

Although Tang Ye's suggestions were rejected, as the captain of the national team, he still has some supporters within the Chinese Football Association. These supporters leaked the information to reporters, hoping to gain public support.

This practice also gave fans the opportunity to learn about some of the content of the Football Association meeting.

The Chinese Football League Alliance (CSL Alliance Co, Ltd.) is the sum of all levels of professional football leagues, including the Chinese Super League and the China Amateur Football League.

During the meeting, Tang Ye put forward a very radical suggestion: the Chinese Football Association should give up the ownership and operation rights of the professional football league, allow the Chinese Super League to be initially commercialized, and sell some of its shares to the public through listing.

The benefit of this suggestion is that it will enable the Chinese Super League to quickly complete financing and enhance the league's profitability through the market.

However, there are also many disadvantages, the most crucial of which is the ownership of the Chinese Super League.

You can ask the Football Association to relinquish the ownership of China League Two and China League Three, that's fine.

However, giving up the ownership of the Chinese Super League is impossible. The Chinese Super League is an absolute money-making machine. The sponsorships from Yibao and BYD alone bring in nearly 1 million RMB a year.

Therefore, Tang Ye's suggestion, in the words of the meeting, was "extremely naive."

[Trying to get the Football Association to relinquish league ownership is impossible; even the Premier League can't do that.]

The Premier League is too expensive, so it's not feasible. The Chinese Super League is much cheaper, and with a budget of tens of billions, it would be possible.

What? The Chinese Super League is going public? Really? Holy crap! If it goes public, I'm definitely buying CSL shares. I'll be directly tied to the fate of Chinese football, no joke!

[Going public? No way! You might as well just shoot the Football Association.]

Even Tang Ye couldn't do this... This approach is too radical. What if it backfires?

[Let it explode, the Chinese Super League can't get any weaker, any more explosions will only go higher.]

From the perspective of the Chinese Football Association, Tang Ye's suggestion was unlikely to be approved, which has led many fans to wonder: knowing that it would not pass, why did Tang Ye still do it at the meeting?
Five days later, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange announced that PPBond, headquartered in Manchester, UK, would have a secondary listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Listing in London followed by another listing in Hong Kong is perfectly normal. After all, Pop Bond is already quite large, and its strategy of further developing the Chinese market is flawless.

Interestingly, Pop Bond registered a company in Hong Kong called "CFA Academy Group," with the Chinese national football team sponsor, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, each holding 50% of the company's shares.

The most outrageous thing is that someone revealed that Bubble Bond hopes to sell a portion of its shares in the China Football Youth Training Group in order to complete the initial financing for purchasing youth training bases and leasing stadiums.

So how will this company make a profit after going public?

The news report didn't specify, but it's easy to see that these youth training groups can only make a profit through two paths: charging fees for youth training (secondary) and selling players to professional teams (primary).

Tang Ye seems determined to confront the national team's sponsors and the Football Association head-on, and his approach is extremely aggressive.

Logically speaking, this plan would be difficult to implement, as many former national team players have opened similar training bases before, but most of them failed to achieve any substantial progress.

The difference is that the company preparing to launch, called "China Football Youth Training Group," is a large enough company that may even be listed and sold on the stock exchange. In addition, this company is backed by Pop Bond, a company with a market value of £70 billion, and Pop Bond is backed by a respected National People's Congress representative.

Announcement of the top ten shareholders of Pop Bond:

1. Tang Ye, 8.29%.

2. HSBC, 4.22%.

3. Barclays Bank, 4.02%.

4. Norway's sovereign wealth fund, 3.55%.

……

8. Manchester United Limited, 2.11%.

9. Adidas Ltd., 2%.

10. Ball (CEO), 1.52%.
