Why 99%?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye suddenly stood up, counting on his fingers as he slowly analyzed for Ten Hag: “One attempt is 10%. Before training just now, I was at 90%. So now I should be at 100%. Sir, you can’t take away my 1%!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag shook his head: “Remember what I said? Effort brings reward. At 99%, it means your effort still isn’t enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye lowered his head, expressionless. Seeing this, Ten Hag quickly added: “Tang, you should focus on the positive side. You’re at 99%—that means you’re just one step away from locking down a starting spot, isn’t that right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Ten Hag was a bit sneaky, Tang Ye couldn’t find any flaw in what the Dutchman said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>99%...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, Tang Ye no longer wanted to run, but he was still under the 【Grimaldi Draft Beer】 state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Tang Ye negotiated with Ten Hag and agreed to stay after dinner tonight for extra training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent, that’s the spirit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag placed his hand on Tang Ye’s shoulder: “I feel your determination—you’ll get closer and closer to the starting lineup!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After training, in the first-team cafeteria, Tang Ye sat with teammates he knew well, eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up a slice of raw herring from his plate and skillfully placed it on Amrabat’s plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Van der Gaag imposed strict dietary rules on Tang Ye, but Tang Ye was smart—he knew how to lighten his own burden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amrabat was used to this gesture from Tang Ye; he didn’t like raw herring either, so he just left it untouched on his plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aale finished eating quickly, then stared at Tang Ye beside him: “Will you start in the next match?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye bit into his Angus mega-beef burger with three beef patties, chewing as he said: “Eric always releases the lineup late. I bet he won’t tell us who’s starting until tomorrow night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I saw you talking to Mr. Eric about the starting spot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Balazic, sitting across from Aale, reminded him. Tang Ye nodded: “Yeah, I’ve brought it up with him many times, but...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ayoub, who rarely spoke, suddenly chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye asked Amrabat to fetch the salad dressing from the next table, adding it as he explained: “Mr. Eric hasn’t guaranteed me a starting spot. He said if I want to start, I need to train nonstop—he’ll consider me only if I prove myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag had emphasized this many times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye was still far from having the level to start in the Eredivisie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if Tang Ye wanted to start, he had to make a small “sacrifice”—his rest time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eric has a sadistic streak—he just wants to see me suffer during training!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Ten Hag hadn’t confirmed Tang Ye’s starting spot, Ayoub sighed in relief, then asked: “You ate so much for dinner—do you still have training tonight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, training tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye took another bite of his giant burger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four fried eggs, three beef patties—nutritional value maxed out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, I didn’t know you were this hardworking, Tang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aale sipped his juice and gave Tang Ye a thumbs-up, making Tang Ye feel slightly embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eh, it’s nothing special. As a professional, this is just what I should do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just get used to putting in effort!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amrabat pointed his fork at Tang Ye across from him: “Bullshit, what are you talking about? Don’t lie, Tang—I know your real self!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, people change!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye put the burger back on his plate, wiped his hands with his shirt, and explained: “People change. I’m completely different from who I was before. You know what? The extra training tonight—I asked for it myself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked for extra training himself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye’s words stunned Amrabat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We all came up from the second team—you suddenly become this hardworking and make me look like an idiot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, after two hours of massage and stretching, Tang Ye arrived at Utrecht’s indoor football pitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag sat on the substitute bench chair—he’d been waiting for nearly ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The early bird catches the worm, Tang. Start warming up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just finished stretching—my body’s still warm,” Tang Ye said, plopping down on the grass and immediately putting on his cleats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His progress had reached 99%. He was just a hair’s breadth away from a guaranteed starting spot in the next match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current progress has reached 99%, just a hair away from securing a starting spot in the next match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye urged to start training immediately. Ten Hag naturally didn’t refuse—he quickly ordered the overtime staff to set up the training area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap-tap-tap—five man-walls were placed at the arc’s top. Ten Hag walked over with Tang Ye, talking as they went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember that far-corner curler you scored against Sneek in the Dutch Cup?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t remember,” Tang Ye shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t remember,” Tang Ye shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough, fine, doesn’t matter—I saw it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag pointed to the upper-right corner of the goal, then to the five man-walls in front: “You scored that curler without any training. That means you have some natural talent for this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag pointed to the upper-right corner of the goal, then to the five man-walls in front: “You scored that curler without any training. That means you have some natural talent for this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【De Bruyne Far-Corner Curler】 was only at Lv.1—the chance of successfully executing it was low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ten Hag had just praised his talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy shit—Tang Ye suddenly felt seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, what are you so happy about?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag noticed the shift and quickly corrected himself: “I mean, your curling talent is only slightly above average. Get it? Compared to the other players here, your talent is still ordinary!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag noticed the shift and quickly corrected himself: “I mean, your curling talent is only slightly above average. Get it? Compared to the other players here, your talent is still ordinary!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like De Bruyne’s ability is still too weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system was on par with him—probably just a fraud too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Tang Ye really wanted to develop, he’d have to rely on his own training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Ten Hag’s guidance, Tang Ye began his shooting drills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Checking his balance, he didn’t buy Ronaldo’s Brussels sprouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the curling distance still had a long progress bar ahead, he’d just train himself for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since there’s still a long way to go before the curling distance upgrades, Tang Ye decided to practice on his own for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds of cleats striking the ball and the ball hitting the crossbar rose and fell in rhythm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【De Bruyne Far-Corner Curler, Lv.1: Imitate】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proficiency: 2.4\u002F50\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proficiency: 2.5\u002F50\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proficiency: 12.2\u002F50\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy shit, phew...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye panted, hands on his hips, walking over to Ten Hag, who was reading a newspaper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter raised an eyebrow: “Okay, solid training. Your starting probability is now at 99.99%!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I was already at 99.99%,” Tang Ye reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I was already at 99.99% just now,” Tang Ye reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag put down his newspaper: “I know. But you’re still at 99.99%—the remaining 0.01% requires ten fragments.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Given your outstanding performance today, I’ll give you nine fragments right away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Given your outstanding performance in today’s training, I’ll give you nine fragments right away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1237,"2026-06-20T06:50:08.245Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0b6c082107ad2a70467b657f493bfb48589fea33a7d81542e3e0802d02a93188","football-at-16-let-me-retire-and-come-back-chapter-42","football-at-16-let-me-retire-and-come-back-chapter-40",918,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffootball-at-16-let-me-retire-and-come-back-cover.jpg"]
