Chapter 614: Platini's Legacy, Tang Ye's Attention Deficit

【UEFA Champions League Chain Quest·Ultimate】

Quest Status: Completed.

"..."

This was the first time in the three seasons since Tang Ye joined Manchester United that he had completed the entire UEFA Champions League chain quest, and naturally, it was also his first time receiving the Ultimate Champions League Chest.

【You have received the Ultimate Chest·Champions of Europe】

【Opening the Ultimate Chest·Champions of Europe...】

Unlike previous times when opening chests, this time everything before Tang Ye's eyes turned black and white, as if he were watching an old film from the early 20th century.

【You have received Platini's Legacy】

【Platini's Legacy: This legacy contains two Legendary Templates】

【You have received Platini's Slow Dribble Burst Template (Legendary)】

【You have received Platini's Penalty Master Template (Legendary)】

【Ball Control: 91→92】

【Pace: 80→82】

【Shooting: 84→85】

Two templates, boosting three attributes for a total of four ability points; to be honest, the effect of Platini's Legendary Template was even better than that of the Messi-Ronaldo Legendary Templates.

This thing called a Legendary Template seemed similar to Lafite; it required time to settle, and the older the vintage, the more powerful it became.

However, upon further reflection, it might also be that Platini's templates suited him better, since many football experts liked to use Platini as a point of comparison when analyzing Tang Ye.

Let's take a look at the current status panel.

Tang Ye

【Ball Control: 92; Passing: 95】

【Shooting: 85; Heading: 62; Set Pieces: 90】

【Pace: 82; Stamina: 82; Physicality: 87】

【Defense: 77; Vision: 99】

Overall Rating: 93

The Stamina attribute, impaired by the novel coronavirus, had not yet fully recovered, but Tang Ye's Overall Rating had already reached 93.

The system's evaluation criteria were considerably stricter than FIFA's official ones, which led Tang Ye to eagerly anticipate seeing his player card in FIFA 21.

UEFA Official List of Candidates for the 2019-20 UEFA Champions League Player of the Season:

1. Dembélé (Forward), Manchester United.

2. Lewandowski (Forward), Bayern Munich.

3. Tang Ye (Midfielder), Manchester United.

The UEFA Champions League Player of the Season must be chosen from among the three players selected for the candidate list, but the Best Coach does not require such a selection process.

Because the result for the Season's Best Coach had already been announced.

That's right, it was him!

Erik ten Hag!

The man who led the Red Devils, Manchester United, to new heights!

Some fans questioned whether ten Hag should receive this award, but that was absolutely a very mistaken viewpoint.

Consider it from another angle.

Before ten Hag took charge of Manchester United, the club's best achievement was the Treble.

And after ten Hag arrived at Manchester United?

The Quadruple!

The UEFA Champions League, the Premier League, the FA Cup, and the EFL Cup!

As for why you ask why ten Hag didn't take the field for the last three Champions League matches...

Don't ask about that just yet; as stated, you need to change your perspective, and insisting on fixating on those three matches is your fault.

"Roar!!!!"

Numerous motorcycles emitted roaring sounds simultaneously, then formed a long queue and rushed out one by one from outside Old Trafford.

"Wow!!"

"Roar!"

Bang bang bang!

From the sound alone, one could tell these motorcycles were all modified; with two people per bike, the person sitting in front was responsible for speeding, while the person sitting behind was responsible for holding up flags.

There were many different flags, including the Manchester United crest and Tang Ye's portrait.

"Quadruple!"

"Quadruple!"

Beep beep beep!!!

The road was filled with motorcycles and some MPVs, while outside Old Trafford, Manchester United fans had already gathered in dense crowds, with local special police officers carrying out their duties.

"Epidemic prevention and control; do not gather illegally!"

"Fuck you!"

Bang!

Several fans crashed into the special police's riot shields.

"Maintain formation, maintain formation!"

The SWAT captain shouted, and a row of riot shields was already in position.

The army of fans soon charged over again.

"Wow!"

Bang!

"Charge them, charge them!"

"Man United, charge!!!"

The defensive line was quickly breached, the fans surged past the SWAT officers into the pitch, and lit the signal flares in their hands, which let out a piercing "zzzzt" sound.

"Long live Man United!"

"Long live!"

"Camp Nou was red, Wembley was too!"

"Now, we've brought Big Ears back to you! (We've reclaimed the Champions League trophy)"

Red flags fluttered across the pitch.

A YouTube blogger slipped in among them, holding up a phone to interview the Man United fans causing trouble on the pitch.

Seeing someone filming, a crowd of fans quickly gathered around.

"Awesome!!! (Chinese)"

"Tang Ye is awesome!!! (Chinese)"

"Oh shit!"

The blogger got startled and quickly stepped back, while the fans came charging straight after him.

"Man United is awesome!"

"Quadruple Crown! (Four-Time Champion)"

……

German media — This season Man United earned a total of €131 million in Champions League prize money, ranking first among all participating teams.

The Times — Tottenham will not give up on the pursuit of Bruno Fernandes; Tottenham plans to complete the transfer before the end of September.

"The delayed closure of the Big Five leagues' transfer window has given Tottenham ample preparation time. Additionally, according to the player's relatives and friends, Fernandes believes he will transfer to Tottenham," The Times original text.

The FA official: Summary of the 2019-20 Premier League broadcast revenue share + prize money distribution.

1. Man United, £207 million.

2. Liwupu, £182 million.

3. Mancheng, £170 million.

……

10. Norwich, £102 million.

The pandemic dealt a heavy blow to the finances of Big Five league clubs, but fortunately the Premier League and Champions League viewership remained strong, giving the league's 20 clubs a major lifeline.

The current losses of the clubs are still unclear, but it is estimated that not many teams will turn a profit this season.

The end of the Champions League final marks the end of the 19-20 season, and every major club is fretting over their summer-window signings.

Among all the Big Five league clubs, Man United and Bayern are the most anxious.

The head coach's mind is entirely on the Champions League matches, to the point that he's only just begun reading the reports handed in by the scouts.

Among them is one piece of news that has Man United fans extremely excited — Man United is expected to sign Cavani on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain!

Allé cannot meet Man United's requirements for a centre-forward, and Martial's performances are simply too inconsistent, so if Man United wants to strengthen the forward line, they have no choice but to start with a centre-forward.
