Chapter 682: Manchester United's Void Quadruple King: The Legend of Tang Ye and the AWP Dragon

Manchester United official statement: Tang Ye will return to the squad after this season concludes; the club retains the number 10 jersey.

【No!!!】

【xuuu!!! Can't we have even just one year?】

As always, you can call the Glazer family bad people, but you cannot call them fools.

A 75 million euro loan for one year is absolutely a losing deal for Manchester United.

Starting from the Champions League Round of 16, every step the team advances brings exponential growth in bonus money and broadcasting revenue to the club!

Furthermore, Tang Ye's jersey sales have steadily ranked first globally since June 2019.

"If not for the outdated rules of UKAD (the UK Anti-Doping Agency), we would not have loaned Tang out for even a single second."

At Manchester United's official press conference, Ten Hag responded to the reporters' questions.

He also revealed an additional piece of news: Tang Ye will participate in Manchester United's summer tour of China.

As for how long he will play on the field, that depends on the actual circumstances at the time.

"Manchester United only won the EFL Cup this season; what do you have to say about that?"

"..."

Click-click!

The moment this topic came up, the reporters immediately perked up, aiming their cameras at Ten Hag and snapping away furiously.

"That is inaccurate."

As Manchester United's head coach, Ten Hag certainly had the ability to handle such situations; he wasn't panicked in the slightest, instead appearing calmer than the reporters: "You say Manchester United only won the EFL Cup this season? No, that is an objective error."

Ten Hag held up one finger: "Community Shield champion."

Two fingers: "Club World Cup."

Then a third finger: "EFL Cup."

Displaying three fingers before the cameras, Ten Hag explained to the reporters: "You say Manchester United has only one title this season, yet in reality, we have won three titles, and three very valuable ones at that."

"Compared to last year's Quadruple, this season we are short by only one trophy."

Ten Hag's words left the reporters stunned, yet he had not finished speaking.

"Additionally, the team we lost to in the Champions League quarter-finals was TY, not Dortmund; we lost to our own player, so technically, it doesn't count as our elimination."

"Since both TY and Dortmund advanced to the Champions League final, it means Manchester United has also advanced to the Champions League final."

Originally showing three fingers, he now held up four.

"I can guarantee that if not for our own player being at Dortmund, the position Dortmund currently holds would be occupied by Manchester United."

"You say Manchester United has only one title this season?"

"No, we must maintain rigor when discussing issues; this is what professional coaches and professional journalists ought to do. In reality, we were only one step away from the Quadruple; that is the fact."

As time slowly approached the DFB-Pokal final, posters regarding the final had already filled the streets of the capital, Berlin.

【RB Leipzig vs Borussia Dortmund】

The two teams are respectively the third-place finisher and the champion of this season's Fan Fan Dejia league, making this arguably the most high-value DFB-Pokal final in recent years.

As the Fan Fan Dejia champion, Dortmund was clearly the side favored to win.

Even Dortmund's posters were slightly larger than Leipzig's.

Borussia Dortmund training base, gym.

"Wow!"

Pogba suddenly shouted, followed by continuous applause, celebrating Tang Ye breaking his personal bench press record.

"Haha, no difficulty at all."

Standing up, Tang Ye shook his hands and showed off his bulging pectoral muscles to his teammates.

"No no, yours doesn't count; watch mine."

Haaland stepped in front of Tang Ye, squeezing his arms against his chest to flex his muscles.

"Not bad, Erling! But you're too tall, so you can be big; I can't continue adding weight."

Tang Ye said.

Neither the Manchester United nor the Dortmund fitness coaches recommended he build more muscle.

Because Tang Ye was not a traditional passing attacking midfielder; he possessed dribbling attributes.

If he became too heavy, he wouldn't be able to execute the shoulder-drop feint!

Placing his hand on Bellingham's shoulder, Tang Ye squeezed Bellingham's muscles firmly: "Jude, you need to build some muscle; your musculature isn't quite enough."

"Actually, I think I'm quite sturdy right now."

Bellingham said, but Tang Ye suddenly bumped his teammate with his body, easily pushing the unprepared Bellingham aside: "See? This; your physical confrontation is lacking!"

"I wasn't prepared, hey Tom! If you told me beforehand, I'd know exactly what to expect."

"Come on, come on, let's go again!"

"Hey, don't be unconvinced; you definitely can't out-muscle me!"

"..."

【Physical Confrontation: 89 → 90】

Training concluded, and Tang Ye received the corresponding benefits.

Due to the 【Unparalleled Genius】 talent, Tang Ye encountered no difficulties raising his Physical Confrontation stat from 80 all the way to 90.

Making a rough estimate based on experience gleaned from other attributes, Tang Ye guessed his Physical Confrontation could likely be raised to around 93 or 94.

Any higher...

Going any higher was hard to say; after all, Tang Ye's passing talent had reached the 【Pseudo·Transcendent to Sage】 rank, yet it was still only at 96 points.

"Hmm..."

He didn't know if "only" was the precise word to use, but Tang Ye felt it described his situation quite accurately.

To speak plainly, his progress along this path had encountered few obstacles.

Tang Ye (22 years old)

【Ball Control: 92; Passing: 96】

【Shooting: 91; Heading: 62; Set Pieces: 93】

【Speed: 82; Stamina: 85; Physicality: 90】

【Defending: 78; Vision: 99】

Overall Rating: 95

That was about right; improving his attributes by a single point now would merely be icing on the cake, while maintaining his competitive form was what mattered most.
