Chapter 617: This Lineup Doesn't Look Like It Can Win a Match

The front-page headline of "Marca" — ty is infinitely close to joining Barcelona on loan; should Real Madrid take countermeasures?

Dortmund official: A young man has arrived at Westfalenstadion; he can pass and shoot.

News from Dortmund official, just half an hour after Escrivá's press conference ended.

Besides the top line of text, Dortmund's new tweet also included a photo.

The photo is very blurry; one can only see the background is Dortmund's Westfalenstadion, and then a young man with black hair standing in the middle of the frame.

However, this young man is facing away from the camera, so you cannot determine his identity for the time being.

So who is this person?

So hard to guess!

【Damn, he's here!】

【Is Saint Escrivá pulling off something so cool?】

【Who says pure love has no results? Speak up, haters!】

【Don't say that, Dortmund is truly capable. Brothers, to be honest, I am an old Dortmund fan.】

【Dortmund's forward line feels a bit lacking; the center forward is still a young kid.】

【Forget young or not; it's good enough to have a ball to kick; let's just endure one season first.】

Usually, transfer or loan news is leaked by reporters first, and then officially announced after some time.

But Dortmund was very arrogant this time; without waiting for reporters and fans to discuss the success rate of the deal, the head coach directly announced Tang Ye's loan at the press conference.

As for why Dortmund wanted to be so arrogant, this matter is quite interesting.

According to the inference of a "Truth Report" reporter, it is likely that the crazy complaints and obstruction from other clubs in the same league during the early stage of the loan angered Dortmund, which led to the birth of the press conference.

And this transfer, timed so precisely, made Bartomeu a complete clown; originally, there were not many Barcelona fans supporting him, and now the number of supporters has dropped to rock bottom.

"Bartomeu is an idiot!"

A Barcelona fan pointed at the reporter's camera and said angrily, "An idiot is an idiot!"

"Hey, calm down first!"

The reporter advised, but these few fans outside Camp Nou could not calm down at all.

"Why can Bartomeu do nothing right? Is this a club chairman? Should a club chairman do such things?"

The fan grabbed his Barcelona jersey.

This was a pirated jersey; the back printed "Tang Ye"; obviously, this Barcelona fan was a loyal supporter of Tang Ye.

After pursuing him for so many seasons, he was finally in hand but then slipped away; any normal person would not be able to accept this result.

"Bartomeu, just keep holding onto that 30% weekly wage; let's see how long you, this idiot chairman, can last,"

shouted a fan behind him.

……

The front-page headline of "The Sun" — ty's private loan plane stops at Manchester Airport.

"This plane is confirmed to be rented by ty's agent; the destination is most likely Germany; the player himself should have learned the information about the failed appeal in advance."

The contract with Dortmund has been signed; considering the reporters' requests and the fans' needs, Manchester United official held a small press conference in the meeting room at Carrington Base, where Tang Ye clearly stated his departure here.

"Um... I will stay in Fan Fan Dejia for at least one season; at most... I see the contract should be extended to 2 seasons at most, not more. But whether it is 1 season or 2 seasons, this belongs to confidential information that I cannot reveal, but what can be confirmed is that after my contract with Dortmund ends, I will still be a Manchester United player."

Tang Ye emphasized this point.

When renewing the contract before, he signed a very long contract with Manchester United, lasting until the Piggy Xia Chuang of 2024; otherwise, he would not be able to get the base weekly wage of 500,000 British pounds.

Come back in 2 years; at that time, Tang Ye's contract with Manchester United will still have 2 years left.

"Will you feel regret?"

"... I don't know what to say; I am very angry, but I also know this is the rule; I think this rule is unreasonable, but I have no way."

Tang Ye sighed and left the room amidst the continuous sound of camera shutters from the reporters.

"Tom"

Dembélé and Rodri were leaning against the wall outside, waiting for Tang Ye to finish the interview.

"Don't be like this; it's okay; this is not your fault."

Rodri put his hand on Tang Ye's shoulder; to be honest, neither he nor Dembélé were very good at comforting people, so they could only do their best to do what they could.

"Just 1 season; just 1 season; you go to Fan Fan Dejia to play for a year and then come back."

Rodri comforted him.

The time of 1 season looks long, but thinking carefully, it does not seem to be so long as to be unacceptable.

After all, Tang Ye has already played professionally for 5 years.

"Where is Mr. Sitting Like?"

Tang Ye suddenly asked.

Dembélé did not know, so he looked at Rodri, who pointed upstairs.

Tang Ye had confirmed he was leaving temporarily; this caused the Manchester United coaching staff to need to temporarily adjust the recruitment plan and tactics for the new season, which tortured Ten Hag and Fan Fan Dejiahe very painfully.

Tang Ye went looking for them.

Seeing Tang Ye approach, Ten Hag covered his eyes with his hand and tried to make his movements appear as natural as possible.

But this could not escape Tang Ye's eyes.

I didn't expect Ten Hag to act like this.

Of course, Tang Ye would not say much about it either.

"..."

"I leave tomorrow."

After hesitating for a while, Tang Ye spoke.

Ten Hag and Fan Fan Dejiahe nodded together, and Fan Fan Dejiahe invited Tang Ye to sit on the sofa.

"After you leave, we may need to find a temporary replacement player, so we wanted to ask..."

"Oh, it's fine, I don't mind, it's no problem."

"Mm, I know, we just wanted to ask you, what do you think of Bruno?"

"Bruno? Isn't he a bit old?"

Tang Ye thought Fan Fan Dejiahe was referring to his former teammate Bruno, but Fan Fan Dejiahe was talking about a different Bruno.

"Fernandes, what do you think of Fernandes?"

"Oh! Him, he's very formidable, I've watched him play, a Primeira Liga champion."

Tang Ye pondered: "His passing is excellent, but he loses possession easily, haha, a bit like me when I played in the Eredivisie and La Liga."

Fernandes was almost exactly Tang Ye during his Eredivisie days, or one could say he was a watered-down version of Tang Ye's La Liga period.

Fernandes' main problem was losing possession; Tang Ye could solve this issue with his dribbling, but the Portuguese player did not possess Tang Ye's dribbling ability.

"I think he's acceptable, though ultimately it depends on you; I'm just stating my own thoughts."

Tang Ye shrugged; the shift in topic lifted his previously terrible mood.

"I feel like your emotions have become agitated?"

Fan Fan Dejiahe suddenly said, having noticed the bloodshot veins in Tang Ye's eyes.

"I've started taking medication again; this drug causes emotional agitation, and sometimes it makes me silent. I haven't taken this medicine in a long time, haha."

Tang Ye seemed to have forgotten his earlier sorrow and bid farewell to Fan Fan Dejiahe and Ten Hag separately.

"..."

"Modern medicine is truly remarkable."

Watching Tang Ye's retreating figure, Fan Fan Dejiahe sighed with emotion.

Noticing that Ten Hag remained silent, Fan Fan Dejiahe turned his gaze over: "Erik?"

Ten Hag still said nothing; the Dutch manager simply propped his head up with both palms, elbows pressing on the table, eyes fixed on the direction where Tang Ye had departed.

"Oh, Erik, how did you get infected by Tom..."

Fan Fan Dejiahe had thought Ten Hag was merely lost in thought, but upon raising his head, he realized.

Erik was crying.
