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

Chapter 914 The Conversation Between Ten Hah and Tang Ye

Forwarded: Manchester City releases a video of their preparations before the Champions League final.

The video Manchester City posted on Twitter looked like a variety show, with the players carrying their large bags of luggage onto a bus.

"We are now heading to Manchester Airport."

I don't know where that sound came from; it might be from a photographer.

"Hey Erling, how are you feeling right now?"

The camera pans to Haaland, the Manchester City striker adjusting his posture: "Well...very good. Although we just lost the FA Cup, I think we have a better chance of winning the Champions League."

Haaland pointed his right index finger at the camera: "Tom won't keep winning forever, I guarantee it."

"Ha ha!"

"Thank you for the interview, Erling. Wish us success."

After finishing his remarks, the photographer interviewed De Bruyne and some other players.

Despite just losing the FA Cup, Manchester City players are generally quite confident.

Manchester United have won two Champions League titles in recent seasons, which is unusual.

No team has ever won so many Champions League titles in a row!

Even if Tang Ye and Dembele are in this team, it won't work!

"Okay, everyone sit down, everyone sit down, we're ready to go!"

Guardiola stood at the front of the bus and clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet: "We'll be in Istanbul tonight, so take some time to rest. I don't want to emphasize how important tomorrow's game is anymore; you all know that."

"This is our last chance this season."

Guardiola first scratched his scalp as usual, then suddenly became serious.

"Beat Manchester United and win the Champions League, that's the only possible outcome tomorrow!"

Wow!!!

[I was so scared I peed my pants]

[666666, so eager to win the Champions League, huh? But Manchester City is really impressive. I've rarely seen a team manage to draw with Manchester United in open play this season.]

[Hilarious! Guardiola is still scratching his head, is he under that much pressure...?]

Guardiola: As long as Ten Hag is alive, I will never have a moment's peace!

Liverpool fans are now siding with Manchester City. Come on, Guardiola!

Liverpool, hahaha, I'm laughing so hard. How come the fifth-placed team in the Premier League is talking now? You guys go play against my UDC youth academy!

Everything was fine at first, but the comments section gradually became more heated as the conversation progressed.

It looks strange, but it was actually an inevitable result.

This season, both Manchester City and Liverpool fans are very resentful.

In addition, Manchester United fans have become increasingly arrogant in recent seasons!
Don't they understand the principle of humility?

……

Manchester Evening News predicts starting lineups for the Champions League final Manchester derby: De Jong injured, McTominay to fill in, Tang Ye vs. De Bruyne.

Manchester City released an official poster to tease the Champions League final: A desperate fight.

Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand: The sextuple season is unstoppable, and Manchester City must be the sacrifice this season.

Daily Sport reposted Saudi media reports that Al-Hilal is urging Manchester United to make a decision and they hope to communicate directly with TY.

Marca reports that Real Madrid are confirming the relationship between New Moon and Manchester United, and if New Moon's offer for TY is true, Real Madrid may be prepared to give up.

"TY's transfer fee and salary are a big problem for Real Madrid. If it is confirmed that they cannot compete with the Saudi team, Florentino wants to turn his attention to Rodri. Real Madrid is willing to offer more than 1.5 million euros for Rodri."

"Of course, if TY prefers Real Madrid over Saudi teams, then Real Madrid's offer is still valid."

Perhaps because they've been bullied by Premier League teams in the Champions League for too long, Real Madrid wants to make a big move in this summer transfer window.

Tang Ye is the primary target, with Rodri as the second choice.

Real Madrid seem determined to buy a Manchester United midfielder, but there is one thing to note: whether it's Tang Ye or Rodri, completing their transfers will be a very difficult task.

Currently, Real Madrid's only competitive advantage over Manchester United seems to be the better weather in Spain.

And then...then nothing happened.

……

"Dong dong!"

A knock sounded at the door, and Teng Hahe jogged over to open it, where he saw Tang Ye standing outside.

"Mr. Eric, did you call me?"

"Well, come in."

Tenhah led Tang Ye to the balcony of the room.

It's dusk now, and the scenery in Istanbul is quite beautiful.

“The weather here is great,” Ten Hah remarked.

"Definitely. I don't think there's anywhere with worse weather than Manchester. We have too much rain where I live."

Tang Ye recalled when he got off the bus: "There are a lot of cats in Istanbul, and they are not afraid of people, haha. I remember encountering a few cats when I came here for a competition last time."

“This is an animal-friendly country,” Tang Ye concluded.

"You seem to be in a good mood, which is why I contacted you at this time. I hope it won't affect tomorrow's match."

"Oh, it's nothing, sir. Just let me know if you have any plans."

Although he was called over at the last minute, Tang Ye didn't find it troublesome.

Tomorrow is the Champions League final, so it's normal for the head coach to make some sudden arrangements at this time.

"Ederson might be able to start tomorrow."

Tang Ye said.

"Oh, no, no, I didn't come to you about the competition."

Ten Hah interrupted Tang Ye.

"Hmm... Phew, I wanted to ask about something related to Saudi Arabia."

"..."

Tang Ye fell silent, his smile vanished, and his expression turned serious.

Throughout the process, Ten Hag kept observing the eyes of the Manchester United captain in front of him: "I heard you were hesitant about the offer from Saudi Arabia? You didn't reject it immediately."

"……Um."

"So you mean... I know it might not be the right time to ask this question, since tomorrow is the Champions League final. But I still want to ask you, and I hope you can give me an answer."

Will you go to Saudi Arabia?

"..."

Tang Ye didn't speak: "I..."

Ten Hach's pupils dilated for a moment, then quickly contracted again: "So you've already made up your mind, haven't you?"

"I haven't decided yet. There's plenty of time in the summer transfer window, and I think I have some time to think it over. I'm not in a rush. Tomorrow is the Champions League, and afterwards I have the Asian Cup."

Ten Hah looked at Tang Ye.

Although Tang Ye said he hadn't made a decision yet, based on Teng Hahe's understanding of him, Tang Ye's subconscious might have already arranged everything for him.

So why do you want to go there?

Ten Hag recalled the online comments: "If you feel that playing in the Premier League is too tiring, you can tell me. Perhaps I haven't done a good job in some aspects, and I should give you more rest time instead of starting every game. These things are negotiable, and you can tell me your thoughts directly."

"I'll show you that staying is the best option."

call……

Tang Ye let out a long breath, pursed his lips, and then opened them: "Maybe I just want a change of scenery."

“…This.” Tenhach hadn’t expected Tang Ye to give such an answer, which left him speechless.

"...Tom, you just said it yourself, there's plenty of time during the summer transfer window."

"If you want to change your mind, just let me know. My phone is always reachable."

Tang Ye stood up and gave Teng Hah a fist bump: "No problem."

After saying goodbye to the coach, Tang Ye prepared to go back to his room to rest.

"You'll call me, right? To tell me you've changed your mind."

"..."

Tang Ye turned his head and looked at Teng Hahe, who had already stood up on the balcony.

"We'll know when the time comes. Let's focus on the Champions League for now, Eric. This is the season for the sextuple, we can't afford to slip up."

……

Dongqiudi pinned post: At 3 AM on May 30th, at the pinnacle of the Champions League in Istanbul, Manchester United are aiming for a sextuple.

Sky Sports

"This is the last game of the season for both teams, and it's also their most important game."

"Yes, if Manchester United wins the game, they will achieve a historic sextuple; conversely, if Manchester City wins the game, they will win their first Champions League title and end Manchester United's sextuple plan."

Two commentators from Sky Sports had a great time chatting in the studio, not only giving their predictions for the starting lineups for both sides, but also devising a script for the match.

Based on the analysis of the FA Cup final, Manchester City certainly has the ability to compete with Manchester United, but overall, both commentators still favor Manchester United.

"I think it'll be 2-1, and it should end in 90 minutes without extra time. Or maybe it'll be a draw in regular time, and Manchester United will score two goals in extra time!"

"Ha ha!"

"I think this is a good idea; it will make the competition much more exciting."

"..."

"So what do you think? Will TY leave?"

It was fine at first, but the topic of conversation suddenly changed later.

"I don't know. If it were me, I probably wouldn't go to Saudi Arabia for the time being. If you really want to go to Saudi Arabia, you can go after you turn 30. There's no rush."

"Doug, didn't you see the news? Saudi Arabia offered TY a $4 million annual salary. And TY can play for 3 to 5 years if he wants, he can choose the time freely."

One commentator said that if he were Tang Ye, he would definitely sign a three-year contract with Saudi Arabia first and make $12 billion.

If they find Saudi Arabia uninteresting by then, Tang Ye will only be 27 years old and can easily return to the Premier League.

Tang Ye's biggest advantage is his youth; at 27, he can quickly return to the peak of his career after returning to the Premier League.

"He will definitely go, believe me."

"No, no, no, impossible. Ten Hag won't agree. Manchester United will be in trouble if TY really leaves."

In addition, commentator Doug said that Ten Hag had made a promise of at least five Champions League titles in 10 years, so he must have known in advance that Tang Ye would not leave the team.

That's five Champions League titles in ten years, not one or two. If Ten Hag knew Tang Ye would leave, would he still have said something like that?

"Okay, let's assume he'll go to Saudi Arabia to play after this game. Do you think he'll go to Victory or Al-Hilal?"

"Ronaldo invited TY to Victory. This has been mentioned in the news many times, so it should be true."

"If TY goes to Saudi Arabia, it will be the New Moon, not the Victory."

Doug asserted: "Victory has already cost Ronaldo a lot of money. Crescent's budget is even more substantial."

"Moreover... the new moon is stronger than victory!"

……

Istanbul, Atatürk Olympic Stadium.

This stadium is the largest in all of Türkiye, with more than 75,000 seats.

In addition, this is the site of the Miracle of Istanbul.

"This is a lucky place, and I think we will be very lucky today as well."

Guardiola laughed.

Manchester City's manager and reporters have stated that the team has learned from their FA Cup final defeat and is now more confident against Manchester United.

After speaking, Guardiola scratched his scalp with his fingernail, giving the impression of hesitation and a lack of confidence.

However, the absence of De Jong and Varane will definitely have an impact on Manchester United, so Manchester City is not without a chance.

"Pep, if you win this game today, do you consider yourself better than Ten Hag?"

"……hiss."

"I can't answer that question right now. Eric did a great job, and we will do our best as well."

……

"China Media Group! Good evening, viewers. We are broadcasting live the 2022-23 UEFA Champions League final, with defending champions Manchester United facing their city rivals Manchester City!"

"This is the sixth Manchester derby of the season. In the previous five Manchester derbies, Manchester United won four and drew one."

"Yes."

The commentator paused for a moment when he got to this point.

Everyone said Manchester City had a terrible season, but no one expected it to be this bad.

"Wow, that means Manchester City's win rate against Manchester United this season is 0%, and Manchester City has never won the Champions League in their history. That's very interesting, especially considering the venue for today's match, Istanbul, haha."

"We can look forward to seeing if Guardiola can create a miracle in this miraculous stadium."

"Beep!!"

"Okay, let the game begin!!"

Manchester United (4-2-3-1)

……

Manchester City (3-2-4-1)

Goalkeeper: Ederson
Guards: Kyle Walker, Ruben Diaz, Akanji
Midfielders: Stones, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Palmer
Forwards: Bernardo Silva, Haaland, Grealish
Head Coach: Guardiola
[Keep it up!]

Ederson is back? But I feel like Ederson isn't as good as De Gea. The key to a goalkeeper is still their ability to make saves. This time, Manchester United is in the bag.

Manchester United fans, stop showing off!

[Just a heads up: Manchester City has never won the Champions League.]

Istanbul? Don't panic, brothers! I, Tang the Football King, will punish anyone who tries to create miracles!

……

Forwarded: Manchester United officially released the Champions League final poster: [Domination].

"Palmer, give it to Akanji!"

"Find Grealish!"

"Pretty!"

"Manchester City's attacking combinations are coming together perfectly!"

"Gralish, dribble the ball towards the center!"

"Find Palmer!"

Wow!!!

"Hey, what's going on!"

"Palmer made a mistake!"

"My God, Palmer!"
