Chapter 445: Totti's Heavy Cannon Template: The Most Controversial Championship Win in Recent Years

【One Goat commenting on another Goat! Hahahaha】

【Damn, an epic crossover】

【My Little Emperor has such prestige; to be named by GGBond?】

【Wait... why do I feel this is a smear?】

【Others might be impostors, but when the person saying this is Tang Ye, you need to think carefully】

Two fake Goats crossing over sparked a heated argument right in the news.

Pepsi Cola is currently the happiest; one news item made fans from both sides dig up the promotional ads from the World Cup period.

The Cola crossover ad featuring Goat brothers Tang Ye and James!

"Tom, do you really think LeBron is the Goat?"

On the return train, Rodri and Rashford surrounded Tang Ye.

Although Manchester United is a football team, most players still know a thing or two about basketball.

"I don't understand this either..."

Tang Ye shook his head: "They asked me who I think is powerful; I think LeBron is the most powerful, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm right."

"Haha"

Rodri hugged his own head with both hands.

He could roughly sort out Tang Ye's train of thought.

Generally, professional athletes tell reporters that their teammates are better than others because they view their teammates through a filter of friendship.

In the cases of Tang Ye and Ten Hag, this principle needs to be viewed on an amplified scale.

No matter what, one's friends, or rather, people one knows, are definitely better than strangers.

If you don't believe it, you can test it.

Rashford stroked his newly grown beard: "Tom, who do you think is the world's number one defensive midfielder?"

"This..."

Squinting his eyes, Tang Ye fell into thought.

"It should be Rod."

"Then who is the world's number one goalkeeper?"

"... I feel David (De Gea) is a bit better than other goalkeepers, though I don't really understand the other goalkeepers that well."

"..."

Mm!

Nodding slightly, Rashford revealed a smile.

Hmm, case closed.

"No, wait, stop asking me these things constantly."

Tang Ye held his hand up in front of his body: "I'm not a commentator; my answers aren't accurate. You need to ask those commentators from Sky Sports; I really don't understand this."

Rashford gave Tang Ye a thumbs-up: "Rather than listening to commentators and fans, I think Tom's opinion is the correct one."

"Haha, world's number one defensive midfielder," Rashford laughed at Rodri.

"Hey, don't joke about me."

Rodri looked somewhat innocent, turning his head to look at Tang Ye sitting beside him: "Then Tom, you say, who is the world's number one winger?"

"This..."

Tang Ye began to think.

"Is it the great Marcus Rashford?"

"Damn, Rod, how did you know what I was thinking!"

Rodri crossed his legs; in Tang Ye's eyes, his little brother Rod seemed to be controlling everything.

"Because I have mastered the formula."

Rodri spoke words that Tang Ye did not understand.

Today's Headlines: At 3 AM on October 24, in the third round of the Champions League group stage, Manchester United hosts Bayern Munich; in this clash of giants, who will ultimately secure first place in the group?

NBA commentator Shi Misi: James is using public opinion to acquire Goat status.

"We have sufficient reason to suspect that James deceived Tom, because Tom stated in an interview that he indeed does not understand basketball. Fellows, looking at it this way, LeBron's intention is very obvious; he wants people who don't understand basketball to praise him as the Goat."

"Because he knows people who understand basketball wouldn't do this," Shi Misi said.

There were many related news stories; some reporters even believed that when Tang Ye was training at the Laker House, the vile James drugged him, which is why he said such things.

This was of course a misunderstanding of Tang Ye; everything GGBond said came from the heart.

The subject Tang Ye disliked the most was history.

Because he didn't recognize any of the people in the books.

【Mission Progress: Points (6/5)】

【Reward: World Cup Champion Chest】

Two consecutive victories directly exceeded the mission requirements; one can only say that Tang Ye has been working too hard lately.

Performing the familiar preparatory actions, Tang Ye went to the toilet to wash his face, then used the Mao Jin to carefully wipe his hands clean.

Sit properly on the chair!

Mm...

Feeling it still wasn't solemn enough, Tang Ye popped another piece of chewing gum into his mouth.

Now it was about right!

【You have obtained the World Cup Champion Chest】

Opening the chest did not grant the template directly; instead, a golden wheel appeared before Tang Ye.

Standing atop the wheel was a pure gold trophy.

Tang Ye naturally knew what this was, having once seen his good friends Kylian and Ousmane lift this very object on television.

This was the World Cup Champion Trophy!

The wheel began to spin, and Tang Ye started to feel nervous.

【2014 Germany Champion Template】

【1998 Uruguay Champion Template】

【2010 Spain Champion Template】

The wheel was huge, with each section resembling a slice of cream-flavored pizza.

The pointer stopped on 【2006 Italy Champion Template】.

Hmm...

Tang Ye began to ponder which players Italy had in 2006; unfortunately, he had only been seven years old that year and hadn't watched that World Cup in person.

Let's see what it is!

【You have obtained Totti's Burden Cannon Shot Template (Champion)】

【Shooting: 78→80】

【Set Pieces: 79→80】

【Physical Contact: 85→85】

It's a shooting template!

Tang Ye's eyes lit up; his luck was as good as ever!

A quick glance at the system introduction revealed that Champion Templates differed from the original "High-Level," "Superstar," or "Legendary" templates.

Champion Templates had nothing to do with market value; their strength equated directly to the peak ability the player demonstrated during that year's World Cup.

Tang Ye (Age 40)

【Ball Control: 88; Passing: 91】

【Shooting: 80; Heading: 60; Set Pieces: 80】

【Speed: 78; Stamina: 76; Physical Contact: 85】

【Defense: 74; Vision: 97】

Overall Rating: 86

Shooting increased by 2 points, rising from 78 to 80.

And because it involved long-range shots, Tang Ye's Set Pieces ability also increased by 1 point, rising from 79 to 80.

"Mmm..."

Sitting in the chair, Tang Ye could clearly feel his heartbeat accelerating.

A single template had directly added two attributes with an 80 ability value.

World Cup Champions were indeed formidable!

Without hesitation, Tang Ye opened the game, moved Totti into his starting lineup, and prepared to adapt to his new template given the chance.

Just as Tang Ye was operating the game, a text message from James arrived on his phone.

Seemingly influenced by the Goat incident, James was now directly addressing Tang Ye as "brother."

"Haha"

LeBron was being too polite; it was merely a matter of moving his lips.

If LeBron liked, he could directly call Tang Ye "Goat" whenever they met in the future.

Ending his chat with James, Tang Ye then went to the Manchester United players' group chat and downloaded the Bayern tactical analysis sent by Fan Fan Dejiahe.

Of course, downloading was one thing, but reading it was another; Tang Ye checked his alarm clock, then pulled the covers over himself.

Tang Ye lay perfectly straight, gazing at the black ceiling in the pitch-black room.

Cristiano.

When will I be able to dream of you again?

I haven't cursed you back yet...

Pinned Post: Romance of the Three Kingdoms? After Round 9, Liwupu, Mancheng, and Manchester United all have 23 points.

Attached: Premier League Standings (as of Round 9):

1. Mancheng, 23 points.

2. Liwupu, 23 points.

3. Manchester United, 23 points.

4. Chelsea, 18 points.

5. Tottenham, 15 points.

Three teams with 23 points, with Mancheng temporarily holding first place in the league due to a superior goal difference—this was the state of the Premier League standings after Round 9.

If the initial winning streak couldn't prove Liwupu's heaven-defying form this season, then the current situation was sufficient to explain everything.

Compared to last season's one-on-one duel between the two Manchester giants, Liwupu's rise this season has given the Premier League a new highlight.

The two-nation hegemony has turned into a tale of three kingdoms; only one team can lift the championship trophy after 38 rounds of matches.

This current situation also made Manchester United's coaching staff realize one thing.

If they wanted to win the Premier League title, they would need to sacrifice something!

"Actually, I think we don't need to care too much about the EFL Cup and the FA Cup."

At the senior management meeting, Ten Hag voiced his thoughts.

"Of course, I'm not saying we should directly abandon these two competitions; what I mean is, if the schedule becomes congested later and the league clashes with either the EFL Cup or the FA Cup, we must place our entire focus on the league."

"Because under the current circumstances, no team in the world can simultaneously win all three titles in England; you know how formidable Liverpool and Mancheng are!"

"However..."

Ten Hag suddenly changed his tone, immediately hooking the appetite of Manchester United's senior management in the conference room.

"However what?"

"If we can acquire Dembélé, then I believe we have the capability."

"..."

Manchester United's senior management now found themselves with a splitting headache.

After Ten Hag's speech, a sense of guilt unconsciously surged into their hearts.

Wanting to strengthen the winger position during the winter transfer window was no ordinary difficulty!

"Mr. Dennis."

Tang Ye exchanged greetings with the newly arrived Brazilian coach and began his shooting training.

"I've watched your match recordings; although you lack sufficient running speed, your shooting adjustment is fast enough, which is excellent talent for long-range shots."

In Dennis's view, if Tang Ye's extremely strong ball-receiving and adjustment ability were slightly refined through training, it could produce terrifying results.

"Imagine this: the goalkeeper is standing on the goal line, and at that moment, an opposing midfielder receives a pass from a teammate and shoots the very next second."

While speaking, Dennis gazed at the distant goal, his tone somewhat excited.

"Damn, am I really that powerful?"

Listening to the description, Tang Ye could already visualize the scene Dennis was describing.

"Not now, not now; I'm talking about after training."

Realizing he had been misunderstood by Tang Ye, Dennis hurriedly explained, "Of course it's not possible right now."

With no other choice, Tang Ye urged Dennis to quickly start today's training content.

"OK, Tom, stand properly; as I just said, I've watched your match recordings. Hmm... after a slight analysis, the training template most suitable for you should be Francesco. His shooting techniques should be the most applicable for you."

Not knowing who Francesco was, Tang Ye had no intention of finding out either.

The key point was not the name Francesco.

The key point was that after training, he would become a master of long-range shooting!

"So now I just need to learn from that, um, Francesco you mentioned."

"Yes, but completely possessing his kind of long-range shooting ability is certainly unrealistic; you know, Francesco's shots are like cannonballs flying out."

Wearing football boots, Dennis began demonstrating for Tang Ye: "But that doesn't matter; Tom, you can fully trust me; relying on your talent..."

Holding up two fingers, Dennis presented the plan he had prepared long ago: "Two months; within two months you can develop 60% to 70% of the effect, which will be about enough."

"OK OK!"

Taking a sip of water and then tossing the water bottle to the sideline, Tang Ye was ready.

Bang!

Bang!

The purpose of the training camp in the United States was to improve his intensity in physical confrontations; Tang Ye hadn't expected that those training sessions in Los Angeles would actually come in handy at this moment.

The sound of violent shooting was very pleasant, and the ball speed was absurdly fast.

What Tang Ye needed to practice now was sufficiently good shooting angles.

In the adjacent Training Ground No. 1, Ten Hag and Fan Fan Dejiahe were squatting together, looking just like two thieves.

"Do you say, does his long-range shooting really require special training?"

Ten Hag blinked his eyes: "You always say I view Tom with biased lenses, but look at him yourself; isn't his shooting angle already perfect enough?"

Fan Fan Dejiahe said Ten Hag's perspective on players was unobjective, while Ten Hag had always strongly disagreed with this viewpoint.

"This..."

Fan Fan Dejiahe looked at Tang Ye, who was communicating with the coach in the distance: "I clearly feel he wasn't that strong before... Hey, Eric, has FIFA released any games featuring long-range shooting recently?"

"Hmm, if there is a long-range shooting game, then Tom becoming stronger would be understandable. He seems to be very good at whatever game he plays."

Having witnessed it several times, Fan Fan Dejiahe was now completely convinced by Tang Ye's magical power of transforming game skills into reality.

"..."

Ten Hag merely felt that Fan Fan Dejiahe was joking and did not continue discussing this topic.

"But it doesn't matter anyway; he rarely takes long-range shots, so finding a coach to optimize this is a good thing. Hmm, besides, it's the club's money being spent."

"By the way, Michel, who is this Francesco he mentioned?"

Ten Hag looked at Fan Fan Dejiahe beside him; the latter quickly turned his head over: "Totti, ah; Francesco Totti, from the 2006 Italian championship squad."

"Tom, tell me, why did Eric find a shooting coach for you?"

During a break in the middle of training, Tang Ye sat together with his new coach, Mr. Dennis.

"Maybe because I'm relatively weak?"

Tang Ye offered his own guess.

His shooting attribute had only just risen to 80 yesterday; compared to his passing and ball control, his shooting ability was indeed somewhat lacking.

If it weren't for penalty kick duties, Tang Ye knew he wouldn't have been able to score so many goals!

"Wow."

Dennis pursed his lips and nodded gently.

"Then, Tom, how long do you think they'll let you practice?"

Dennis's question left Tang Ye feeling somewhat baffled.

He turned his head.

For some reason, the respected Mr. Dennis appeared somewhat flustered.

"I don't know either; probably just keep practicing. I think shooting is quite important."

"That's pretty good then."

Dennis looked at the goal directly ahead, raised his hands, and stretched.

Then he lay down on the grass.

"Hey, Mr. Dennis, our training isn't over yet."

Tang Ye wanted to pull Dennis up from the grass.

"It's fine, it's fine; let's rest for a while first, Tom. You've already practiced very well."

"..."

"Mr. Dennis, don't you dare slack off, Mr. Dennis! I still want to practice shooting."

What Tang Ye loved most was scoring goals.

If his talent allowed, he naturally hoped to develop excellent long-range shooting techniques.

"Mr. Dennis, are you still there? Open your eyes; don't you dare slack off! You haven't told me how to take Francisco's long-range shots yet."
