Chapter 344: Locked Up February Player of the Month? Tom Gets Hit by Hateful Newcastle Fans!

Check Dongqiu Di match report: In Round 26 of the Premier League, Manchester United defeated Huddersfield 4-0, taking 3 points and continuing their chase of Mancheng.

"They lay away coz they know we would rip them an' Man City~ (They're not coming back because we'll beat Mancheng)"

"And the reds go marching on on on! (The Red Devils march forward)"

"Glory, glory, Man United! (Glory belongs to Manchester United)"

After the match ended at Old Trafford, tens of thousands of Manchester United fans gathered together and, under the direction of the supporters' association, sang the Manchester United anthem in unison.

The fans held up Tang Ye's number 10 jersey high.

"Tom viva Tom Tom~"

"The hero of Man United! (Manchester United's hero)"

"The one of Man United! (Manchester United's savior)"

February has only just begun, and Manchester United have played 2 matches in total, scoring 7 goals between them.

In the Sky Sports live studio, commentator Dawson gave his view on this.

"Ten Hag's three signings have successfully helped Manchester United complete their tactics. The current Manchester United are on a winning streak, but unlike their winning streak at the start of the season—"

On the PPT behind Dawson was displayed the full scoreline record of Manchester United's past 26 Premier League matches.

"As you can see, at the start of the season Manchester United struggled a bit when facing strong teams. Although they beat Tottenham, the process was very difficult. But now, in the last match against Tottenham, Manchester United almost dominated the entire second half."

"The attacking play up front is much smoother — that's the change in Manchester United after the winter window, and this change has given them stronger combat ability when facing weaker teams."

Dawson highly praised Ten Hag's three signings this season.

From Tang Ye to Rodri, and then to Alli in the winter, Ten Hag's signings can really be said to be beyond criticism.

In addition, Dawson also made a prediction about who would win the Premier League's February Player of the Month.

"This month Tom's form can only be described as outrageous — he has almost locked up the February Player of the Month."

【Dawson? Saint Dawson!】

【Brothers, the third saint has appeared!】

【Awesome, awesome, I'm officially a Sky Sports fan now!】

Chinese fans noticed a very crucial thing.

After Tang Ye made his name in the Eredivisie, the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth seemed to show signs of revival.

In less than 3 years, three saints have risen out of nowhere, and watching fans are all a little excited.

Combining the power of the three saints, just what will the future of ggbond look like!

Heroes arise in troubled times!

……

Legs crossed, Tang Ye lay on the sofa and began his operation.

【De Bruyne Curved Through Ball Lv4: Lifelike】

Proficiency: 969/1000

【Curved Through Ball】 is only one step away from Lv5. Checking his Comeback Points balance, Tang Ye made his choice.

【Ronaldo's Broccoli +3 → Ronaldo's Broccoli +4】

Account balance: Comeback Points * 522

Spending 1000 Comeback Points to push Broccoli to +4, boosting the gains from his ball-carrying training.

Actually, compared to Broccoli, what Tang Ye wanted to upgrade even more was Red Bull.

After all, starting in February Manchester United have both the League Cup final and Champions League knockout matches — Tang Ye really needed the instant combat boost that Red Bull gave him.

But Red Bull was already at +5, and any further upgrade cost 2500 Comeback Points.

Tom is a poor kid — he doesn't have that much money!

But no worries, being broke is only temporary. Tang Ye still has a Champions League chain mission on him right now.

【Chain Mission Three: Get 6 assists】

6 assists — if the mission reward is anything like before, it'll be Comeback Points too.

A very difficult mission, but if he completes it, Tang Ye will be able to get the Comeback Points needed to upgrade Red Bull.

When that time comes, he won't be a poor kid anymore!

Tom's pockets will be stuffed full of Comeback Points!

……

At the Carrington base, the Manchester United players who had finished training gathered in Juzaishitang, and the TV was playing the match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

"We really should have gotten this TV under warranty"

Tang Ye pointed at the big screen in front of him: "The bottom-left corner is already cracked"

"Cracked? No, it isn't"

Rashford looked carefully but couldn't see what the problem was.

"It's definitely real, Marcus, I wouldn't lie to you"

Tang Ye's tone was firm.

Apart from Mr. Sitting Like's nude photo, he had not lied to Rashford up to now!

Because Tom and Jerry had known each other since the Golden Boy award ceremony — they were very good friends!

Rodri happened to be standing, so he walked over and took a look: "Tom's right, it is cracked, but it's not an obvious crack"

"See, Marcus"

Tang Ye turned to Rashford and spread his hands: "I wouldn't lie to you"

Rashford was just about to say something when Ashley Young's scream suddenly came from the side, so Tang Ye quickly turned his attention back to the TV.

Rakitic's long ball found Messi, and the Argentine forward stopped the ball very easily just outside the box, then opened Atletico's goal with a low shot.

"Damn, that's impressive!"

Pointing at Messi on the screen celebrating with his teammates, Tang Ye said to Rashford: "Last season, Rodri and I played against Barcelona; they won one match, but we won two!"

"However... Barcelona does have many formidable players; Leo 【Messi】 is one of them. Playing against him puts immense pressure on me."

Rashford nodded, at which point Rodri joked: "But didn't you edge out Messi for the Player of the Season award?"

"..."

Rubbing his nose, he said: "Player of the Season is Player of the Season; what I'm saying is that Barcelona has many formidable players. Rodri, I don't think I said anything wrong."

"Player of the Season!"

Rashford punched Tang Ye's arm with his fist.

Feeling somewhat helpless, Tang Ye cupped the back of his head with both hands, the image of Messi's earlier first touch followed immediately by a shot replaying in his mind.

After a season honing his skills in La Liga, Tang Ye considered his ball control to be very strong, yet if it were him out there, he knew he could not replicate what Messi had done.

The first touch itself was already a problem, not to mention the finishing after controlling the ball.

"Messi and Ronaldo are truly formidable,"

Tang Ye murmured softly.

Everyone talks about "Messi-Ronaldo, Messi-Ronaldo"; previously, he had dreamed of Cristiano Ronaldo in a dream.

Did that mean he would also dream of Messi?

Hiss—

But upon careful reflection, the key to that dream should have been the dead mouse.

Viewed in that light, he probably wouldn't dream of either Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi again.

That was just as well; after all, those two guys gave Tang Ye far too much pressure, so if he did dream of them, it would surely prove his sleep quality that day was terrible!

Slap!

Slap!

【De Bruyne Curved Through Ball Lv4: Realistic】

Proficiency: 1001/1000

【De Bruyne Curved Through Ball Lv4: Realistic → Lv5: Replication】

【Passing: 89 → 89】

The Curved Through Ball should have been the first growth template Tang Ye obtained; he never expected it to only now reach Lv5.

However, just like the 45-degree cross, the Curved Through Ball automatically unlocked the upgrade permission for Lv6 upon reaching Lv5.

This was very good news.

At Lv5 Replication level with zero proficiency, Tang Ye's capability in this area matched peak De Bruyne.

But at Lv5 level, even with just one point of proficiency, Tang Ye's single-attribute level would surpass peak De Bruyne!

【De Bruyne Curved Through Ball Lv5: Replication (Transcendent State)】

Proficiency: 4/3500

After taking a few more long-range shots, Tang Ye brushed his Curved Through Ball proficiency up to 4 points, easily completing his transcendence of De Bruyne.

Feeling the sweat beads on his forehead about to slide into his eyes, Tang Ye quickly reached up to wipe them away.

His cold hand touched his face, causing Tang Ye's body to shiver involuntarily.

Mr. Sitting Like had said that if you want to obtain something, you must likewise give something up.

Tang Ye felt he had already given up a great deal.

The sweat shed on the Carrington grass was what he had given up.

So when exactly would his first trophy arrive?

"Mr. Sitting Like, are we about to win the trophy?" "Of course, but not right now."

Ten Hag stamped his foot, flattening the snow on the grass.

"Sweat will provide them with sufficient nutrients, but it is still winter; grass cannot grow in winter, so you need to wait a little longer."

"Hoo-hoo!"

"Of course, do not rush; I will wait alongside you."

Professional Footballers' Association: The Premier League Player of the Month for January is Eriksson of Tottenham Hotspur.

Manchester United Official: Team defender Bailly was injured during training and is expected to be out for two weeks.

Check Dongqiu Di Match Preview: In Round 27, Manchester United travels to face Newcastle; the Red Devils aim for their third league victory in February—can Tang Ye maintain his hot form?

With one day remaining until kickoff, Check Dongqiu Di released a warm-up poster for Manchester United vs. Newcastle; this poster was designed by Check Dongqiu Di.

!

In the poster, GG Bond, wearing the Manchester United No. 10 jersey, takes a running start and leaps into the air, throwing a massive punch toward St. James' Park.

【So the warm-up poster doesn't feature a single person, huh?】

【Don't force the hate; GG Bond isn't human.】

【To be honest, given Manchester United's current form, Newcastle will likely get hammered.】

【What do we do with a center-back injured?】

【As long as Tang Tang Qiuwang isn't injured, it doesn't matter, right?】

"~~~"

A moving melody rang out across St. James' Park; it was the home team Newcastle United's anthem, "Local Hero."

Standing on the grass waiting for Ashley Young to shake hands with the referee, Tang Ye tugged Rodri's jersey: "Rodri, do you know why their team anthem has no lyrics?"

In Tang Ye's mind, his little brother Rod knew everything, yet today he had failed to solve Tang Ye's problem.

Newcastle truly was a strange team.

An anthem without lyrics—wasn't that impossible to sing?

If Tom were a Newcastle player, he wouldn't mind writing lyrics for Newcastle!

Hmm... although Tom's composition scores weren't very high.

"China Media Group! Here is the live broadcast currently bringing you..."

The match has begun!

Today Newcastle was playing a 4-4-2 formation, a relatively conservative setup.

But there was no help for it; after all, Newcastle's opponent today was Manchester United.

One of the teams with the strongest attacking capability in the Premier League this season!

Biting the gum in his mouth, Tang Ye sprinted quickly toward the left flank.

He found Rashford!

Signaling for Rashford to stop and receive support, Tang Ye passed the ball over before making another run down the line.

Near the touchline, Rashford trapped the ball under his foot, then pushed a through pass to Tang Ye.

Tang Ye's run down the line!

"Top of the box, top of the box!"

Rashford and Rodri both ran toward the top of the box.

Tang Ye made his preparations.

Although the speed wasn't fast, he greatly enjoyed the feeling of dribbling on the wing.

This was because on the wing, he didn't need to turn his head in all directions to control the situation on the field!

Slap!

【De Bruyne's Inverted Triangle Level 3: Simulation】

Proficiency: 344/400

Tang Ye's low driven inverted triangle shot rushed past Rashford, heading straight for Rodri.

"Shoot directly!"

The big brother's voice came from afar; naturally, the little brother dared not disobey the order.

Boom!

Rodri fired a long-range shot, fully unleashing his strength attribute.

"Goooo——aaaa——lllll!!"

"Goal!"

"1:0!"

In the footage, Rodri ran toward Tang Ye, and Tang Ye leaped directly onto Rodri's back.

"Hiss, this goal is another assist from Tang Ye..."

Just as the commentator was marveling at Tang Ye's excellent competitive form this month, a line of small text scrolled across the live broadcast screen.

【Tang Ye: League assists this season exceed 20】

"Twenty league assists..."

"Yes, we all know this is Tang Ye's first season in the Premier League."

"And his performance has truly been stunning!"

Tang Ye kissed the top of Rodri's head, then suddenly felt something hit the top of his own head.

Jumping down from Rodri, Tang Ye realized that a Newcastle fan in the stands had thrown an empty mineral water bottle at him.

No one knew how that detestable fellow had managed to bring the mineral water bottle inside, but regardless, Tang Ye had been attacked!

Slap!

Without saying another word, Tang Ye flicked the mineral water bottle on the ground up with his heel, then executed a volleying chip shot.

Slap!

The mineral water bottle flew upward first, then fell and struck that fan squarely on the forehead.

Perfect!

Tang Ye flashed a proud smile, but the next second he could no longer laugh.

"Beep!"

The referee ran over and showed Tang Ye a yellow card.

"Hey, Mr. Referee, listen to me."

"He threw the water bottle at me first; water bottles aren't allowed inside the stadium!"

Tang Ye talked endlessly with the referee, but none of it could conceal the fact that he had attacked a home fan.

The camera focused on the fan whom Tang Ye had retaliated against.

Although he had been hit, enjoying the live camera focus as a result, that Newcastle fan appeared extremely happy, pointing at his own head as if showing off the fact that Tang Ye had retaliated against him.

"Mr. Referee!"

Tang Ye spread his hands toward the referee, but it was still no use.

"Hahahaha!"

Rashford leaned on Tang Ye's shoulder, laughing wildly.

"Hey Marcus, don't be like that, and Rod, stop laughing too!"

Called by name by his big brother, Rodri immediately became serious: "Tom, that kick was really accurate."

"This isn't a matter of accuracy; I shouldn't have received this yellow card."

Tang Ye clutching his head.

He glanced again at the Newcastle fan in the stands who was still gloating.

Damn it!

Today, Tom must crush Newcastle.

That fan who smashed something against his head would soon find nothing to laugh about!

"For Newcastle... Lascelles passes to Ritchie!"

"Ritchie passes again to Shelvey!"

The final attack of the first half came from Newcastle.

Bailly's absence convinced manager Benitez that to defeat Manchester United, they must strengthen their offense.

However...

Although Manchester United's defense wasn't as spectacular as their offense, their overall strength remained quite solid.

Slap!

Smalling easily completed a tackle against the Newcastle striker.

"Beep, beep-beep!!"

Dongqiu Di halftime report: Rodri's long-range world-beater puts Manchester United ahead 1-0 away against Newcastle.
