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

Chapter 97: Ten Hag leaving the team? Utrecht II's secret weapon!

[You get counterattack points*10]

"..."

“Beep, beep!!!”

At the end of the game, Utrecht, playing away, defeated Vitesse 4:0 and got 3 points in this game.

According to the scores given by reporters and commentators after the game, Tang Ye lost to Ale by 0.1 points and was awarded the MVP title.

But it doesn’t matter, Tang Ye has his own reward.

That is the Eredivisie Player of the Month for April!
Together with Tang Ye, Ten Hag also received the honor of the best coach in April.

There is no way, Utrecht won all the victories in the Eredivisie in April, and these trophies are what Tang Ye and Ten Hag deserve!

After being interviewed by reporters, Tang Ye walked into the player tunnel holding his trophy. Zhang Yuning, who had changed his clothes, was waiting for him in the tunnel.

"Great job, Tang Ye!"

"Ha ha!"

Tang Ye grabbed the trophy in his hand and then hugged Zhang Yuning.

Perhaps because he was playing football alone outside, speaking Chinese with Zhang Yuning made Tang Ye feel very relaxed.

"Hiss, I remember this wasn't your first Best of the Month?"

Zhang Yuning suddenly asked.

Tang Ye nodded: "There is another one in February"

"Great!"

Zhang Yuning gave a thumbs up, and the two added each other’s WeChat and WhatsApp contact information at the same time.

Tang Ye is really amazing. In February this year, Zhang Yuning was promoted to the first team from Vitesse U2, but Tang Ye has already won the best player of the Eredivisie.

Remember that Tang Ye’s birthday is in March, which means that he won his first Eredivisie Player of the Month award in his career when he was only 3 years old!
"So what do you say, just like what's said in the news, going to Frankfurt?"

Zhang Yuning accompanied Tang Ye towards the Utrecht locker room and asked about the transfer.

Now, the most discussed topic among the football experts about the Eredivisie is Tang Ye’s next club.

There was only one question on everyone's mind.

Will Tang Ye go to the top five leagues next season?

If so, which club would he go to?

“Oh shit, I feel like everyone is asking me this question.”

Tang Ye spread his hands to show his innocence.

hiss--

Maybe this is the trouble of becoming famous!

Tang Ye told Zhang Yuning that he was now locked up by Utrecht, and the two walked to the door of the locker room.

"Then we can contact each other on the phone?"

"Yes, contact me on the phone!"

……

On the other side, in the press room of Vitesse's home stadium, Ten Hag accepted his April Coach of the Month trophy, and immediately after receiving the trophy, he was interviewed by reporters on the scene.

Ten Hag is a stickler for detail, placing the trophy on the table before the interview.

This might block his face, but Ten Hag doesn't care. He needs to let reporters and fans see the trophy.

"Eric, after this game you will continue to lead the league standings, and in two weeks, you will face Alkmaar at home. This is your last game of the Eredivisie this season. If you can win the game, you will break history and win the first Eredivisie trophy in Utrecht's history."

"Eric, are you confident enough for the final battle in two weeks?"

"Confidence? I don't think that's a question. Of course we have confidence."

Ten Hag spread his hands, obviously in his opinion this was not a topic worth studying.

Now that it has come to this, all Utrecht needs to do is compete for the league championship.

The gap between the league champion and second place is huge, and Verhofer had talked to Ten Hag a few days ago.

If it is the league championship, Ten Hag will get a transfer budget of at least 2500 million euros in the summer window.

But if it is the runner-up, the budget will be directly reduced to 1000 million euros.

There is no need to explain the difference between 2500 million euros and 1000 million euros. If it is the latter, Ten Hag may need to sell some of his teammates' original players before he can buy the one he wants.

But if it is 2500 million euros, there is no such worry.

"Eric, Utrecht only ranked 11th in the league last season, but this season your goal has been set to win the league championship, and you just won the Dutch Cup. Do you think you have made great efforts for this team?"

"Um……"

Ten Hag hesitated: "I don't think I should answer this question. The fans know what I have done for the team."

As soon as Ten Hag finished speaking, cheers broke out in the stadium.

The reporters' interviews were broadcast live on the stadium's screens, and in real time.

Utrecht fans know what Ten Hag had just said, and they want to express their support for Ten Hag.

"last question"

The reporter raised his head and looked straight at Ten Hag.

Ten Hag thought the reporter was going to ask him questions about Tang Ye's transfer again.

He was ready to refuse to answer the question, but it turned out that was not the case.

"Manchester United coach Louis van Gaal is said to be fired by the team due to poor performance. According to reports from British journalists, Manchester United has contacted you. Is this true?"

Ten Hag was silent.

"It is indeed the case"

"Manchester United offers you 10 times more salary than Utrecht, Eric, will you go to Manchester United after the summer transfer window opens?"

crunch--

Ten Hahe pushed his chair away and stood up.

"Sorry, I can't answer that question, I'm currently focusing on Utrecht"

……

The Times front page headline - Manchester United contacted Utrecht coach Ten Hag, and the Glazer family believed that the Dutchman could save the team.

The Sun's front page headline: Who is Manchester United's rumored new coach Ten Hag?

Utrecht RTV reporter Joels: If Ten Hag stays in Utrecht, he will get a new contract with an annual salary of more than 150 million euros, but this is far less than the 700 million euros annual salary promised to him by Manchester United.

Utrecht fans are now confused, as the scandal between Manchester United and Ten Hag became popular almost overnight.

In fact, Manchester United had already contacted Mourinho. The Portuguese had just left Chelsea and was currently unemployed at home.

But the emergence of Ten Hag gave Manchester United new ideas.

Manchester United fans had no idea who Ten Hag was, but the Manchester Evening News immediately introduced him.

He single-handedly pulled Utrecht from 11th place in the Eredivisie to the championship position.

Seeing this line of words, Manchester United fans will not be surprised.

To be honest, this is really powerful!
And the most important thing is that Ten Hag’s annual salary is low!
If Manchester United wants to win over Mourinho, they will have to pay an annual salary of about 1500 million euros, and Ten Hag's annual salary in Utrecht is already low. Manchester United only needs to pay half of Mourinho's salary to make Ten Hag happily sign the contract!
[Really? Is Ten Hag coming to my club? 】

[Awesome, can you include me, King of Football, Tang Ye? I feel that Ten Hag can't control Manchester United without Tang Ye's help]

[After one season, my annual salary has increased 10 times. Who dares to say that I, Teng Sheng, am a slacker? ]

[What about Tang Ye? Can Tang Ye also go to Manchester United? Damn, it’s been a long time since a Chinese player played in the Premier League! ]

Judging from the comments, both Chinese and Dutch fans generally do not think that Ten Hag will stay in Utrecht next season.

why?
Because Manchester United gave too much.

Utrecht's transfer budget for the summer window last season was less than 700 million, but Manchester United offered Ten Hag an annual salary of 700 million euros!
How can I keep this?
……

"What's going on? Mr. Eric is leaving?"

In the first-team cafeteria, the players gathered around a table. Tang Ye asked Ramsellar while eating his hamburger.

"I don't know either"

Ramselaar shook his head.

"But aren't you the captain?"

Allais put his hands on Ramsellar's shoulders, and the latter expressed innocence: "I don't know either. If I hadn't read the news, I wouldn't have known that Manchester United had also found Eric."

Ramselaar looked left and right.

Upon learning that the head coach might be leaving, the first-team players became somewhat listless.

Ok……

Except Tang Ye.

"Tang, I see you look quite happy."

Ramselaar asked, and the players all turned their eyes to Tang Ye.

"what?"

Tang Ye quickly swallowed the burger in his mouth: "No, no, I just think this burger is delicious. Mr. Eric is leaving, of course I am also very uncomfortable."

"How bad is it?" Amrabat asked.

"Hmm... cough cough"

Tang Ye laughed accidentally.

"Sorry, sorry, I just thought about the game I played yesterday, sorry, sorry"

Tang Ye apologized repeatedly, fearing that he would ruin the current atmosphere.

Ten Hag is leaving Utrecht, and the players are of course very sad.

But Tang Ye’s situation is rather special.

Ten Hag's departure is actually good news for him.

As long as Ten Hag leaves Utrecht, Tang Ye’s seat in the first-team cafeteria will not be moved!
Now controlled by Ten Hag, Tang Ye can only eat a hamburger once every three days.

As long as Ten Hahe leaves, Tang Ye will eat it every day!
Oh, no, it’s not enough to eat it every day, you have to eat it at every meal!

How can you train so hard without eating some junk food?
The rumors of Ten Hag leaving the team had a serious impact on the players, so serious that Ten Hag and Van der Gag noticed that something was wrong during training.

It affected the training and Ten Hag had no choice but to come out and hold a meeting with the players.

During the meeting, Ten Hag did not clearly tell the players whether he would leave Utrecht.

His emphasis was that players needed to focus on the game.

"We have our last game in two weeks, which will determine whether we can win the league title this season. We have to compete with PSV Eindhoven." "Do you know who our opponent is? AZ Alkmaar, AZ Alkmaar is now fifth in the standings, do you know who PSV Eindhoven's opponent is?"

"Damn Cambuur, they're about to be relegated!"

Ten Hag said, and his meaning was obvious.

In the last round of the league, Utrecht's opponents are very strong, but PSV's opponents are weak.

PSV Eindhoven is likely to win.

This means that Utrecht must also win the game, otherwise it will be GG!

……

[De Bruyne 45-degree cross level 2: similar]

Proficiency: 62/100
"call……"

With his hands on his knees, Tang Ye was a little tired from the passing training this afternoon.

However, the effect is still very good. With the help of Pogba's mud, Tang Ye's proficiency in skill upgrades has increased a lot.

There are still 2 weeks until the match against Alkmaar.

Ok……

With a simple calculation, Tang Ye should be able to upgrade [45 Degree Cross] to level 3 before the last game.

But this will be more difficult.

After returning to the dormitory for the lunch break, Tang Ye took off his clothes and threw them on the ground. He set an alarm for 2 pm and prepared to go to bed.

At this moment his cell phone rang.

Looking at the notes, the call was from Tang Zhengxiong.

Ok?
Tang Ye was a little surprised.

In his memory, Tang Zhengxiong was always too embarrassed to take the initiative to call Tang Ye. This guy would always pretend to overhear Zhang Qingqing and Tang Ye talking, and then "drop by" to chat.

If you take the initiative to call...

Remember this was supposed to be the first time?
"Hey, I got it, Tang Ye!"

"What's wrong, Dad?"

"It's nothing serious. Is your living expenses enough? Do you want me to transfer some more to you?"

It turns out it’s about living expenses…

Tang Ye's expression became relaxed: "It's enough, it's enough. I have a salary now, so it's definitely enough for living expenses."

"That's fine, that's fine..."

"Um"

The conversation between the two was a bit awkward. Tang Ye was about to hang up the phone, but was stopped by Tang Zhengxiong the next second.

"No, no, no, don't hang up yet!"

Tang Zhengxiong shouted: "I saw on the news that your team's head coach is going to Manchester United? No, this makes me a little panicked. What is the level of that Ten Hag? Is he very good?"

Tang Zhengxiong is a loyal Liverpool fan.

When Tang Zhengxiong heard that Utrecht's dark horse coach was going to transfer to Manchester United, the first thing he thought of was his son.

His son plays football in Utrecht, so he must know Ten Hag very well!

"This one……"

Tang Ye couldn't say anything for a while.

Don’t mention it, Tang Zhengxiong’s question is indeed not easy to answer!

What is Ten Hag's level...

Tang Ye dislikes Ten Hag very much, but after all, Ten Hag is his head coach!

You can’t speak ill of your head coach behind his back!
"Well, Dad, I think Ten Hag is pretty strong."

"Shit, it's over!"

Tang Zhengxiong, who was far away in China, held his mobile phone in his right hand and placed his left hand on the back of his head.

Sure enough, what the Manchester Evening News reporter said was right. Ten Hag was able to pull Utrecht from 11th place in the league to first place in the league, so he couldn't be just a jerk.

Isn't Ten Hag a jerk?
Who is that bastard from Utrecht?

There was no one else, it could only be his son!

"call……"

Tang Zhengxiong let out a long breath: "Tang Ye, can you listen to me?"

"You tell me."

"Can you please talk to your coach and ask him to take you with him when he goes to Manchester United?"

"what?"

Tang Ye was stunned: "No, why?"

"It's okay. Just find a chance to talk to him. I often watch Premier League games. You are very suitable for Manchester United. Really, believe me, if you go to Manchester United, Liverpool... Oh no, Manchester United will definitely take off!"

"..."

"I, I'll try my best..."

Tang Ye gave a vague answer.

This is not the first time Tang Zhengxiong has talked to Tang Ye about transferring to Manchester United.

It can be seen that as a Liverpool fan, Tang Zhengxiong really wants his son to help Manchester United revive!

Tang Ye put his phone aside and lay flat on the bed to think.

Although Tang Zhengxiong requested this, Tang Ye would definitely not go to Manchester United with Ten Hag!
……

On May 5th, there are still 8 days until Utrecht's last league game of the season.

Tang Ye achieved an achievement today, which was to raise his proficiency in [45-degree cross] to 75.

With only 25 points of proficiency left to the next level, the improvement in training effect brought about by Pogba's mud is indeed significant.

"Tang, come here!"

Tang Ye, who was practicing a two-on-one combination with De Jong, was suddenly called over by Ten Hag.

Tang Ye turned around and was surprised to find that the second team coach Merente had arrived at the first team's training ground at some point.

"Call me?"

Tang Ye pointed at his nose.

"Yes, hurry up!"

Tang Ye hurried over, chewing gum, and kicked the ball back that his teammate accidentally kicked.

"Mr. Eric, Mr. Melente, what's wrong?"

Tang Ye asked, and even added: "I haven't been late for a single day in the past month, you can't punish me."

"I know, I know, it's not this."

Ten Hag waved his hand: "Just listen to Melente"

Looking at Melente, the head coach of the second team blushed a little, and seemed a little embarrassed to say what was in his mind.

"Um... Tang, did you know that our second team has a cup competition, the U21 Dutch Champions Cup?"

"I know"

"You know?" Melente was stunned.

"Yes, I was on the bench once last season. It was for this U21 competition. I remember we should have been in the top eight last season?"

Utrecht's first team will play in the Eredivisie and the Dutch Cup, while the second team will play in the Eredivisie and the U21 Dutch Championship Cup.

One league and one cup competition, these are basically fixed.

“Oh yeah, I think I remembered it.”

Melente touched his nose and explained slowly: "We played well this season. The day after tomorrow we will play the final against Ajax II, and then..."

Looking at Tang Ye with big eyes in front of him, Melente just couldn't say anything.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Ten Hag gave a brief consolation, and Melent took a deep breath: "We are unlikely to beat Ajax B, but this championship is still very important to us."

Tang Ye nodded thoughtfully: "What should I do?"

"Can you come with us the day after tomorrow?"

Ok?
Ok? ? ?
"Come with me?"

Tang Ye pointed at his nose. He was a little surprised that Melente would invite him to participate in the U21 Champions Cup.

"its not right"

Tang Ye pointed out the problem.

"I'm playing in the Eredivisie this season, so how can I go to the U21?"

“This has no impact”

Ten Hag said.

"But I have to sign up for this kind of competition before I can play, right?"

"I've asked someone to sign you up before."

Ten Hahe's words completely confused Tang Ye.

"Before the season started, I asked someone to sign you up for the Eredivisie and U21 matches."

"By the way, I have also signed up for U19 and U17. You can play in those games."

"..."

Tang Ye fell into deep thought.

He had already joined the first team at the beginning of the season, so why did Ten Hag still report so many games for him?

and many more!

Tang Ye seemed to realize something.

This guy Ten Hag wants to return the goods!
Depend on!
Tang Ye was heartbroken when he learned the truth.

Mr. Eric!
I trust you so much, but you just want to send me back to the second team?
