Chapter 312: Tang Ye's Emotion Value Theory, a Heaven-Defying Vision of 96, But Its Usefulness Remains Unknown

After it became 5:2, Watford seized the opportunity to score another goal against Manchester United, bringing the total score to 5:3.

With less than five minutes remaining in the match, Watford still trailed by two goals.

The home fans in the stands knew they had no chance left, though losing 3:5 wasn't too painful.

Eight goals in a single match—the fans truly enjoyed the spectacle!

Check Dongqiu Di match report: Manchester United defeated Watford 5:3 away to achieve a clean sweep in all competitions for November; Tang Ye recorded two assists, while Ibrahimović made his first appearance since recovering from injury.

"Damn, there were eight goals in this match!"

Walking through the player tunnel, Tang Ye felt extremely excited.

The reasons were manifold, including the Manchester United Legend Template he was about to obtain!

And of course, the victory in this match!

"Rod, let me tell you, I've recently figured something out."

Hearing Tang Ye's words, Rodri raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"

"Something very useful; I've proven it correct multiple times already."

Tang Ye's words made Rodri even more curious; the latter pushed open the locker room door and gestured for Tang Ye to continue.

"It's the Emotion Value Theory."

"What?"

"Rod, just listen to me finish; you're so smart, you'll understand it easily."

Tang Ye followed him into the locker room and slowly explained his research findings to Rodri.

"If we win a match, our Emotion Value increases by one; if we lose, it decreases by one; a draw also decreases it by one."

"Why is that?"

"Hey, it's just a hypothesis!"

Tang Ye signaled for Rodri to sit down first.

"Then, by combining our results from the past five matches, we can determine our current Emotion Value. We've won all of our last five matches, so our team's current Emotion Value is five."

Tang Ye spread the five fingers of his right hand, displaying them before Rodri.

"I can understand that."

Rodri nodded quickly: "So if we lose too many, the Emotion Value becomes negative, right? But what's the use of this?"

"It's extremely useful!"

Tang Ye spoke with a serious expression: "Each of us has an emotion threshold; take Mata, for example—his emotion threshold is three."

"If our current Emotion Value is greater than or equal to three, Mata will be very happy; he'll talk to me a lot during meals. You know, Rod, I really enjoy chatting with Mata because he tells me things I don't know."

"What..."

Rodri stared with wide eyes.

The Emotion Value Theory.

At first, it seemed somewhat absurd.

But listening to Tang Ye's explanation, this thing actually seemed useful?

"Are you sure?"

"It should be like this; the margin of error won't exceed one. Sometimes Mata's threshold might be four; as for whether it could be two, I don't know—we haven't lost enough matches yet."

"Then there's Marcus and the others; Marcus and Shaw should both be three, similar to Mata. Young is slightly higher; he should be four or five, and I feel it's most likely five."

Wow...

Rodri nodded quickly: "Then Tom, what about me?"

"Rod, you've only recently become a starter; there isn't enough data yet."

Tang Ye analyzed seriously: "But I feel you and Young should be similar, four or five; you're both serious guys, just like Michel. Serious guys generally aren't easily happy."

Rodri joined Tang Ye's analysis group; soon after, Martial returned with the MVP trophy, and the players in the locker room erupted in cheers.

"Anthony! Wow!"

Professional Footballers' Association of England, Premier League Player of the Month nominees for November:

1. Hazard, Chelsea.

2. Tang Ye, Manchester United.

3. De Bruyne, Mancheng.

4. Sterling, Mancheng.

5. Salah, Liwupu.

Unsurprisingly, Tang Ye made the Player of the Month shortlist again, alongside Mancheng's De Bruyne.

Unlike the previous two months, Tang Ye's statistics this month were better than De Bruyne's, and by more than a little.

But the surprise was that Liwupu's new striker Salah posted overwhelmingly incredible statistics in the final match of November.

Liwupu played four Premier League matches in November, and Salah scored seven goals.

That's nearly two goals per match!

【Klopp's eye for talent is truly good; honestly, he's no worse than Ten Hag.】

【I took a look; Tang Tang Qiuwang should still be slightly ahead. Liwupu went 3-1, while Manchester United won all their matches.】

【Regardless of wins or losses, Tang Tang Qiuwang's statistics are simply better: six assists in four matches. Can anyone else in the Premier League produce stats like that?】

Chinese fans engaged in fierce debate over who would win the November Player of the Month award.

The conclusion reached was: Tang Ye held a greater advantage than Salah, but not by much.

Who will ultimately claim the Monthly Best Player award?

No one can guarantee that.

And after discussing the winner of the Player of the Month award, the fans' attention shifted back to the World Cup.

The November matches had ended, and the draw ceremony for the Russia World Cup groups on December 1st was about to begin.

……

"See you tomorrow, Rod. By the way, you can think carefully about that research of mine; I think there shouldn't be any problems, since I've been pondering it for a long time."

"Haha, okay, see you tomorrow, Tom."

Bang!

After fist-bumping Rodri, Tang Ye opened his room door, skillfully tossed his backpack onto the floor, then quickly took off his shoes and clothes.

After washing his hands and face, Tang Ye's butt slammed onto the sofa with a "bang."

Just as he was about to open the system, the phone sitting beside him suddenly rang.

【Fan Fan Dejiahe: @Everyone, make sure to rest well and return to the base before 2:30 PM the day after tomorrow.】

This was a message sent by the Man United assistant coach in the players' group; besides telling the players to rest early, Fan Fan Dejiahe also posted Man United's schedule for the upcoming month.

December 2nd: Arsenal vs. Man United (Premier League Round 15)

December 5th: Man United vs. Feyenoord (Champions League Group Stage Round 6, note: already qualified)

December 10th: Man United vs. Mancheng (Premier League Round 16)

……

December 30th: Man United vs. Southampton (Premier League Round 21)

After quickly scanning through it, Tang Ye finally understood what Mata meant by the terrifying Premier League schedule.

Man United had nine damn matches in December!

However, the number of matches wasn't the most critical part; the most critical part was that Man United would face Arsenal and Mancheng, two of the Big Six, in early December.

"December will be our most difficult month," were Fan Fan Dejiahe's exact words in the group chat.

【Ten Hag: Rest well and prepare for nine consecutive victories.】

【Tang Ye:?】

【Ten Hag:?】

【Tang Ye recalled a message.】

"Damn!"

Hiss—

He took a deep breath.

Hell, that was too fast!

Tang Ye had almost instinctively sent a question mark, but immediately regretted it.

Ten Hag was in this group; he couldn't do that!

【Rodri: @Tang Ye】

【Rashford: @Tang Ye】

【Mata: @Tang Ye】

"……"

Knock knock!

Tang Ye hadn't locked his door, so Rodri pushed it open and walked right in.

"Haha, Tom, why did you send that question mark? Hahaha!"

"Damn, my hand was faster than my brain." "Impressive, haha."

Rodri gave Tang Ye a thumbs-up and closed the door behind him as he left.

Tang Ye held his phone and thought for a moment.

【Tang Ye: I was chatting with a friend just now and sent it to the wrong group; sorry, brothers.】

【Ten Hag:?】

"……"

It felt like Mr. Erik was somewhat angry.

Tang Ye rubbed his nose again, then tossed his phone onto the sofa.

Next time before sending a message in the group, he must think carefully and not be as casual as he was today!

Putting the December schedule aside for now, Tang Ye turned his attention to the system.

He rubbed his hands together!

Ready to begin!

!

【Open Man United Treasure Chest·Legendary?】

【You have obtained... Cristiano Ronaldo's Heel Flick Template (Legendary)】

He had received Cristiano Ronaldo's template!

Tang Ye really liked using Cristiano Ronaldo's Knuckleball Free Kick template because that thing was simply too cool.

Cristiano Ronaldo's long-range shooting and poaching abilities were truly fierce, but unfortunately, the template he received had little to do with shooting.

Heel flick.

Judging by the name, it should increase his creativity!

Let's see exactly what this is about!

Leaning against the sofa, Tang Ye suddenly felt the crown of his head open, followed by sweat trickling down his forehead—the kind that only appears after strenuous effort.

【Passing: 89→89】

【Ball Control: 85→85】

【Vision: 95→96】

Three attributes had been increased: Passing, Ball Control, and Vision.

Although it was a Legendary Template, since it related to creativity, the boosts to Passing and Ball Control were not significant.

The good news was that Tang Ye's Vision attribute, which had been stuck at 95 for nearly a season, finally broke through at this moment.

Vision at 96!

But to be honest, Tang Ye had never quite understood what use the Vision attribute actually had.

Tang Ye's eyesight was already excellent; he felt he could see things quite clearly in his daily life.

Yet as Vision rose from 91 all the way to 96, Tang Ye hadn't felt his vision become any clearer or anything like that.

Was it a bug?

Tang Ye didn't know either; anyway, he felt that an attribute value of 96 was indeed a bit too outrageous.

Tang Ye (39 years old)

【Ball Control: 85; Passing: 89】

【Shooting: 78; Heading: 52; Set Pieces: 76】

【Pace: 74; Stamina: 72; Physical: 77】

【Defending: 70; Vision: 96】

Overall Rating: 83

Glancing at his panel, Tang Ye suddenly realized that after his Vision broke through to 96, his Overall Rating had risen to 83.

Looking at it this way, Vision didn't seem completely useless after all?

It could make Tang Ye's panel look even more magnificent!

……

Villarreal News, front-page headline: Manchester United staff spotted meeting with Haller's agent at a café; Ibrahimović's contract with Manchester United expires in one month, and United is searching for a new striker.

Marca: According to sources close to Haller, the Ivorian striker holds a "very positive attitude" toward transferring to Manchester United, and the player himself is actively pushing the transfer forward.

"Sebastián is transferring? Tom, do you know about this?"

Rodri looked at Tang Ye; Tang Ye, who was eating by himself, leaned over to check the news on Rodri's phone.

"Hiss, I just found out myself, Rod."

"I chat with Sebastián often, mostly about matches, but I've never heard him mention anything about a transfer."

Taking a sip of blueberry juice, Tang Ye added, "His chemistry with Bruno has been getting better and better."

Rodri shrugged: "By the way, you and Haller both played at Utrecht before, right?"

"Yeah, that was the season before last; we even won the Eredivisie title."

Haller is also a Tengjia Army member...

Rodri nodded slightly: "Maybe he's already been in contact with Erik."

"That would be really great."

Thinking that Haller might join Manchester United in a month or half a year made Tang Ye extremely excited.

He and Haller were very good friends; having a new good friend join would surely bring more fun to Tang Ye's upcoming training and matches.

"To be honest, I don't really like Zlatan."

Tang Ye suddenly said, stealing a glance toward the distant Ibrahimović as he spoke.

"Hmm? Why?"

"Zlatan is just too tall; he gives me a feeling of being hard to approach."

Tang Ye spread his arms wide: "You know, Rod, big guys like that usually aren't very easy to get along with."

"You're talking about personality, right?"

Rodri immediately caught on: "But Haller's personality is quite cold too; Zlatan at least makes jokes, but I've never seen Haller crack a joke."

"But I've known Sebastián for two and a half years, while I've only just met Zlatan."

"People you're familiar with are much better."

!!

People you're familiar with are much better...

Rodri suddenly understood.

No wonder Tang Ye and Ten Hag could come together again.

They were the same kind of people!

"Hey, Tom!"

The belated Rashford carried his plate over and sat beside Tang Ye: "The World Cup draw is about to start; aren't you nervous, Tom?"

"World Cup draw? When is it?"

"Tomorrow."

Rodri answered, then turned to Rashford: "Marcus, have you made the national team?"

"I made it last year, but the World Cup is uncertain; the squad list hasn't been finalized yet."

"You'll definitely make it, Marcus."

Tang Ye patted Rashford on the shoulder.

No one knew better than Tang Ye himself just how strong his own team's striker was.

Marcus is so formidable that he can even make the cut for the powerful England national team.

"Thanks, Tom."

Rashford and Tang Ye bumped fists: "I hope we aren't drawn in the same group, but even if we are, the chances of us meeting are slim, since I'll most likely be a substitute, haha."

"It's still early, isn't it?"

Tang Ye remained very calm: "If you play even a bit better over the next half-season, you might just become a starter."

"So you really want to face me during the World Cup?"

"No, no, no, that's not it."

Tang Ye quickly shook his head: "England is too strong; I don't want to run into you guys, and Rodri's Spain either."

【A bit thrilling; just sleep and we can watch it tomorrow night.】

【Please arrange Tunisia for Tang Tang Qiuwang; never heard much of them, so they probably aren't strong.】

【Want to see Argentina play China, Tang Tang Qiuwang going head-to-head with Messi.】

【The focus right now isn't whether Tang Ye will clash with Messi or Ronaldo; the real question is whether the Chinese national team can advance from the group stage.】

【To be honest, with the Chinese national team seeded in the fourth pot, avoiding last place in the group would already count as success.】

【Just draw Germany then; the Chinese national team in its strongest form should play against the defending champions!】
