No, listen to me, it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I shouldn’t even have this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye held the photo in his hand, walked to the bathroom in front of Ten Hag, and held it over the toilet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a misunderstanding… yeah, a misunderstanding…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye slipped the photo back into his pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten Hag: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tang, you wouldn’t spread rumors about me, right?

Zero!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I got it, I got it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye sprinted from behind, preparing to press Ziyech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye’s intent was to force Ziyech into a quick pass—but the guy was also a tough one, dribbling straight forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completely ignoring Tang Ye as if he weren’t human!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, showing off like this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Ye sneaked up from behind and launched a brutal tackle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Tang Ye missed—he didn’t touch Ziyech, and he fell down himself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ziyech! Pass it wide!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shit, perfect pass—to the #11. Who’s the away team’s #11?
