Chapter 594: Tang Ye's Locker Room Speech, Passing Attribute 95!

Professional Footballers' Association of England, Premier League Player of the Month Candidate for June:

1. Rodri, Manchester United.

2. Alexander-Arnold, Liwupu.

3. Fan Daike, Liwupu.

4. Tang Ye, Manchester United.

5. Mac Allister, Brighton.

"Manchester Evening News" Column: Can the title be secured early? After 31 rounds, Manchester United leads Liwupu by 6 points, having lost only 1 match in 46 games this season.

Attached: 2019-2020 Premier League Standings (as of the end of Round 31):

1. Manchester United, 84 points.

2. Liwupu, 78 points.

3. Mancheng, 67 points.

4. Chelsea, 57 points.

5. Tottenham, 52 points.

Immediately after the resumption came a three-game winning streak; these three victories not only helped Manchester United successfully advance to the FA Cup semi-finals but also temporarily widened the gap between them and Liwupu.

As league leaders, the point difference between Manchester United and Liwupu has now stretched to 6 points!

Simply invincible, isn't it!

Excerpt from Tang Ye's interview: "We must remain humble, because we still have many matches to play in July."

【Tang Tang Qiuwang, so low-key!】

【Chinese people are still too low-key; I feel the reporters below the stage were stunned after hearing Tang Ye's words, though ggbond always seems quite cautious during interviews】

【Ten Hag: No need to say more, Tang is someone I developed with my own hands】

【I feel we can pop the champagne; with a 6-point gap, how can Liwupu catch up?】

【Don't celebrate yet! Calm down, brothers; there are many matches in July, and an explosion would ruin everything. Watching football requires a bit of pessimism】

Tang Ye is still too low-key.

However, this low profile is only in front of the camera.

"Haha!"

Bang!

Tang Ye and Dembélé burst open the locker room door: "Semi-finals, brothers!"

Holding up two fingers, it was clear Tang Ye was in a good mood.

The situation in the Premier League was still uncertain, but in the FA Cup, Manchester United only needed to win two more matches to claim the trophy!

"Hey, stay humble!"

De Ligt reminded him, quoting Tang Ye's exact words from the interview just moments ago.

"Humble my ass! With a 6-point lead, how can Liwupu possibly compete?"

Tang Ye spread his hands, sat down in his spot: "For them to overtake us, we'd have to lose at least two matches, so how could we possibly lose?"

"Haha!"

Lin Lin Jiade and De Jong burst into laughter: "You should go back and tell the reporters that again; you just lied to them"

"I can't; if I said that directly, I'd get roasted to death"

Tang Ye was now the captain, and the captain's rationality told him he couldn't show off in front of reporters, or the backlash would be severe, very severe.

But showing off in front of teammates was fine, easy peasy!

"Get ready to celebrate"

Tang Ye and Rodri bumped fists; the morale in the room was soaring.

July was about to begin, and according to Tang Ye's calculations, Manchester United could announce an early title victory in at most another half-month.

"Premier League! First the Premier League, then the FA Cup!"

Thump thump!

Tang Ye tapped the tactical board; at this moment, he looked less like a captain and more like a senior coach.

He was a tactical master, and also the team's senior advisor.

"We must take this step by step; there is an order of priority. Some championship races come faster, while others are slower. I placed the FA Cup after the league because I know we will secure the Premier League title early"

"Wow!"

Tang Ye's words drew shouts from his teammates.

"Hey, hey, calm down, Osman, sit down, sit down!"

Students shouldn't interrupt casually when the teacher is speaking!

"Sir!"

Osman saluted Tang Ye, then sat down in his seat.

"Mm"

Nodding slightly, Tang Ye was very satisfied with Dembélé's performance.

"Secure the Premier League title as early as possible, however many rounds early that may be; anyway, we must win the championship. Then the FA Cup... and after that, the Champions League!"

When mentioning the Champions League, Tang Ye's voice suddenly increased by a full level, nearly scaring Fan Fan Dejiahe, who was standing nearby, out of his wits.

Tang Ye was like a teacher explaining the importance of the college entrance exam to the students below.

Of course, the students below already knew how important the college entrance exam was, but Tang Ye still had to say it.

"We will win the Champions League this season; everyone standing in our way will be pushed aside by us"

Although Tang Ye's speech lacked the kind of authority Ten Hag possessed, it was equally capable of inspiring the players.

The Manchester United players stood up one after another, very consciously forming a circle around Tang Ye as the center; De Jong even pulled in Ten Hag and Fan Fan Dejiahe.

Breaking from their previous habit of stacking hands together for the chant, this time the players chose to place their hands on Tang Ye.

With nearly twenty people, Tang Ye's neck and head were already completely covered.

"Hoo..."

"Let's go, Manchester United!!!!"

UEFA Official: The Champions League resume date is confirmed for August 8 (for the unfinished Round of 16), with the final scheduled for August 24; the quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final will all be single-leg knockout matches.

News about the Champions League finally arrived, with the schedule set after the conclusion of the top five leagues.

This timing arrangement is quite reasonable, because if it were scheduled for July, those Premier League teams in the knockout stage would definitely jump out and curse.

Scheduling it for August is acceptable; it just means compressing the match time for the season.

It's just that this match schedule is somewhat dubious, running from August 8 to August 24, compressing the rest period to the absolute limit.

Additionally, besides the announcement of the Champions League schedule, the top five leagues have also confirmed their respective summer transfer window opening dates.

For the Premier League, it is July 27, delayed by about one month compared to usual, with the closing date tentatively set for October 1.

As for exactly when it will close, the FA itself does not know yet; anyway, the entire summer transfer window duration will definitely not be less than two months.

The Sun front-page headline: According to estimates by Manchester United's finance department, the club expects direct losses of at least 100 million pounds due to the pandemic.

"Can we win the Champions League? I'm not demanding the FA Cup, but we must secure both the Premier League and the Champions League."

Facing huge losses, the Manchester United shareholders have become anxious.

Even someone as formidable as Ten Hag now has to face the super-difficult problem of pressure from leadership.

Joel Glazer sat directly opposite; Ten Hag struggled to control his breathing, maintaining a serious demeanor in front of the players, whereas in front of the shareholders, Ten Hag had to adopt a rather subtle expression.

Not too arrogant, yet not too timid.

"Mr. Glazer, every team is in this situation now; these are uncontrollable factors. Actually, our losses are already considered relatively small."

To soothe Joel Glazer's emotions, Ten Hag specifically requested data on Mancheng from the finance department and used Mancheng's financial situation to compare with Manchester United's finances.

Mancheng is expected to lose 80 million pounds, with seasonal losses hovering around 200 million pounds.

Looking at it this way, Manchester United's situation is relatively better, since Manchester United expects losses of 100 million pounds, with seasonal losses of only 150 million pounds!

"Comparing the two, we earned 50 million pounds more than Mancheng."

"..."

Joel Glazer widened his eyes, looking at Ten Hag with an expression that said, "What are you talking about?"

No, this...

He felt there was a significant problem, but after thinking for a long time, Joel simply didn't know where to begin addressing this issue.

"I will definitely do my best, and the players will do their best too; as you've seen, many people believe we can secure the Premier League title ahead of schedule."

"What about the Champions League?"

Joel asked: "The internet says we have a curse? That whenever we try to win the Champions League, we get upset by underdogs?"

"No, no, no, that's all fake; such a thing cannot exist."

Ten Hag shook his head quickly: "That's just fans of other teams seeking comfort. Actually, we don't need to worry too much because there are very few teams that pose a threat to us."

Spreading his hands slightly apart, Ten Hag appeared extremely confident.

"Currently, only a very small number of teams have no COVID-19 cases, and Manchester United is one of them."

"..."

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

Proficiency: 3487/3500

【De Bruyne Curved Through Ball...】

【De Bruyne Curved Through Ball Lv5: Replication → Lv6: Eager to Learn】

Proficiency: 0

【Passing: 94 → 95】

【Vision: 99 → 99】

The familiar level-up notification sounded again, and Tang Ye's expression gradually became excited.

His third Lv6 skill had arrived!

And it was the Curved Through Ball, one of Tang Ye's most important abilities.

Similarly, not only was this his third Lv6 skill, but the breakthrough of 【Curved Through Ball】 also gave Tang Ye his second attribute reaching a value of 95.

95 Passing!

Tang Ye

【Ball Control: 90; Passing: 95】

【Speed: 80; Stamina: 80; Physicality: 87】

【Defense: 77; Vision: 99】

The overall rating has recovered to 92; once Tang Ye fully recovers from COVID-19 and regains his lost stamina and physicality attributes...

At that time, Tang Ye's overall rating will reach an exaggerated 93!

Clenching his fists, he looked at his teammates on the training ground.

Tang Ye now had a certain feeling.

A feeling of being invincible beneath the heavens!
