Chapter 655: Dortmund's Chain of Iron Ships, Why the Manchester United Captain

Repost: Romano breaks the news that Barcelona hopes to trade Tom for a price of 150 million euros.

【Alright, Barcelona is starting to dream again.】

【Did a quick search, the new president is Laporta, right? Does this guy have some conflict with Messi?】

【Tang Ye's contract with Manchester United has only three years left; lowering the price is quite normal.】

【The person above still wears the Real Madrid team badge, hilarious; flipping through history records shows you've always been in the Barcelona circle, did you just change that team badge?】

【Barcelona: No way, the hype for the Battle of the Two Saints is too high; we must draw some traffic, everyone come look at my Barcelona!】

Setting aside the authenticity of this matter for now, Laporta has already become a laughingstock among fans.

Laporta treats the Manchester United management like fools.

Could those capitalists be fools?

2021 is Messi's contract year, and leaving on a free transfer will inevitably bring losses to Barcelona.

However, the cost required to keep Messi at Barcelona is too great, even exceeding the estimated loss of him leaving on a free transfer.

Things are becoming interesting.

Originally, Messi had no advantage in this year's Ballon d'Or selection, and now Barcelona wants Messi to leave...

Manchester United legend Ferdinand: Who will win the 2021 Ballon d'Or, I think everyone knows in their hearts, and additionally, the 2020 Ballon d'Or should also be awarded to him retroactively.

First, Ferdinand got excited in the live stream, saying a whole lot of words praising Manchester United, and only then, under the host's reminder, began analyzing the upcoming Champions League quarter-finals.

"Undoubtedly, the winner is Manchester United."

"But Rio, in the past five minutes, you have said at least fifteen words of praise for TY."

Pfft!

Ferdinand accidentally laughed out loud, then immediately restored a serious expression and maintained it: "Oh, of course! But these two things should be viewed separately; I acknowledge TY's personal ability, that is certain. But the fact is, Dortmund is not yet ready to advance to the semi-finals."

"Compared to Dortmund, obviously Manchester United possesses more qualification to reach the semi-finals."

Ferdinand emphasized again that football is a sport of eleven people, and no matter how strong Tang Ye is, he cannot change the fact that Dortmund lacks the potential to win the championship.

"I admit Escrivá's tactics are indeed good, but their suitable time to contend for the Champions League should be next season, yet next season Tom's loan will end."

At the end of the interview, Ferdinand actively made a prediction for the quarter-final score.

1:3 or 1:2, meaning Dortmund, playing at home, would lose by one or two goals.

Owen predicts the first-leg score of the Manchester United vs. Dortmund clash: 2-3, Manchester United wins.

"..."

Tang Ye browsed the news on his phone, unable to utter a single word.

All recent news shares one characteristic: they simultaneously carry the three tags #ManchesterUnited #Dortmund #TY.

Each of these three tags carries massive traffic, and clever and cunning football journalists immediately thought to combine the three, using the power of all three to suck everyone in to watch.

Precisely because of this, Tang Ye saw many magically modified videos related to himself in the Bilibili ghostly parody section.

"Ignorant and audacious, you Dutch beast dare to be arrogant here; don't you know your demon is already in my hands?"

Escrivá, having lost his hair and become Gao Seng, jumped up on the spot, lifted Tang Ye high with both hands, and threw him towards Ten Hag opposite.

"Great Might Heavenly Dragon, Great Luo Dharma Spell, World-Honored Earth Store, Prajna Buddhas, behold my divine might!"

"Tang Ye, go!"

The Strongest Fahai Borrowing a Knife to Kill a Man, this was the title of the ghostly parody video.

"Hoo..."

Taking a deep breath, Tang Ye leaned his upper body backward, squinting his eyes slightly.

Borrowing a knife to kill a man?

Tang Ye couldn't understand why anyone would actually favor Dortmund.

Isn't it obvious that Manchester United is the side holding the advantage?

Switching screens to exit, Tang Ye opened WhatsApp, only for an app lock to pop up.

【Please enter password】

"Um, Mr. Ferran."

Tang Ye stood up from the sofa, found Escrivá who was resting, and said: "Mr. Ferran, could you please unlock my WhatsApp for me."

"I won't contact Eric; I'm just replying to a friend's message, just unlock it for me for one minute!"

Escrivá looked up at Tang Ye.

Among the massive preparations made for the quarter-finals was locking Tang Ye's WhatsApp and QQ email.

"No no no, Tom, don't be like this."

Escrivá also stood up.

"No, you have to believe me, Mr. Ferran; I definitely won't help Manchester United while I'm at Dortmund."

Tang Ye explained, but Escrivá had other words to say: "No no no, you misunderstood, Tom; it's not that I don't believe you, of course I believe you, the one I trust most is you, Tom!"

"Then help me unlock this app lock."

"Oh, that won't do."

Escrivá changed the subject: "Do you know, things with a probability of zero are not necessarily impossible; I believe you, Tom, but, from an objective perspective, you are a loaned player, so when we face Manchester United, you absolutely cannot have any contact with Manchester United!"

"..."

Although he didn't quite understand what Escrivá meant by a probability of zero, thinking about it carefully, what Ferran said actually made a lot of sense.

But...

"The match hasn't started yet, right?"

Tang Ye spread out his phone, displaying the numeric keypad on the screen in front of Escrivá: "How about this, I'll reply to my teammates' messages right in front of you, and after replying, I'll lock it again."

Hearing this, Escrivá was already a little hesitant, but in the end he still took a step back.

"... Really, n-no."

Escrivá looked into Tang Ye's eyes: "Mm... sorry, tom."

"Alright."

Tang Ye shrugged, only feeling that Escrivá was acting a little strange.

"It's actually nothing, the match will be over soon anyway, it's fine."

It's just an app lock, if it can't be cracked then forget it; if it's important information, Borr will also contact him through the Dortmund players.

"It's fine, Ferran, I'll get going then."

"... Ah, oh, mm, sorry tom!"

Coming back to his senses, Escrivá raised his hand and said goodbye to Tang Ye.

Heaving a sigh, he then sat down on the sofa.

Escrivá doesn't trust tom?

Of course that's wrong — the person Escrivá trusts most is tom.

But he still wasn't willing to unlock the app lock for Tang Ye.

Only to see Escrivá take out his own phone, open twitter, and skillfully type in the app lock.

The password was correct, and Escrivá successfully opened his own twitter.

Through attempts over the past few weeks, Escrivá had already cracked the password Matty had set for him.

"Sigh..."

Browsing through the news about himself bit by bit, Escrivá heaved a heavy sigh.

"tom..."

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's that I can't even control myself..."

Matty locked Escrivá, Escrivá locked Tang Ye — inside Dortmund right now it's a state of chained links.

Of course this chain of links can be broken: Tang Ye needs to learn from his Mr. Ferran, and try out the correct password bit by bit.

Go for it, tom!

……

Reposted: a foreign betting website has released the odds for the quarter-final Manchester United vs. Dortmund focus match.

Manchester United outright win, 1 pays 1.72.

Dortmund outright win, 1 pays 3.34.

Obviously more fans favor Manchester United — you can only say this is the weight of the defending champion.

Although this season's Manchester United squad isn't as good as last season's, the genuine Tang Ye's original role has become the template Tang Ye B-Fee.

If you say Manchester United is done at this point, that is absolutely, absolutely wrong.

A god fallen from the altar is still a god!

Any god carries an inherent domain pressure, and that is the reason for the oppressive atmosphere inside Dortmund lately.

"Fuck, honestly drawing Bayern would have been better, even Chelsea would do."
