Chapter 685: Tang Ye's Final Dance in Westphalia, Fan Fan Dejia Champions

Sky Sports commentator Jenson: There are seven Fan Fan Dejia teams whose goal totals have not yet surpassed ty's assist count; these teams truly ought to reflect deeply.

Tang Ye's 46 assists in 33 rounds seem terrifying at first glance.

But take another look, and you will be scared to death on the spot.

Because a simple comparison reveals that Tang Ye has successfully suppressed seven teams in the same league.

Furthermore, among the other 17 Fan Fan Dejia teams this season, not a single midfield trio has combined assist totals reaching 46.

Yes, that includes Bayern.

Regarding this, the Dortmund club director stated in an interview with reporters: "I need not emphasize to the media the success of Borussia Dortmund this season; the path and achievements of Dortmund this season are unreplicable."

"The final against Chelsea is about to begin; do you believe Dortmund can achieve a three-peat?"

"Yes, certainly, beyond any doubt."

With three consecutive affirmations, the director displayed absolute trust in the team's strength.

After all, Dortmund this season has reached its strongest period of the century, so management's confidence is inevitable.

"You must have seen the post-match interview where ty stated we would win the Champions League, so I feel there is no need for me to say anything further here."

"Mm."

The reporter nodded.

Upon mentioning Tang Ye, the football reporter took a soft breath; a new topic of discussion was thus born.

"Then... Mr., seeing your such great trust in Dortmund this season, let us set aside whether Dortmund can win the Champions League. Let us change the question; um... do you believe the team can replicate this season's success next season?"

"..."

The director held the microphone in hand, gazing at the reporter before him.

"This, this... um, this question."

Rubbing his nose, the clever club director seemed unsure how to answer the reporter's query: "We all know that after this season ends, Dortmund will undergo some slight changes, uh, so I am unclear on the specific situation. We may only know once next season begins..."

"Hehe."

Leaving a smile for the camera, he let the fans imagine the rest for themselves.

【May 29, Champions League Final, Borussia Dortmund vs. Chelsea】

【Portugal Dragon Stadium】

A small whiteboard hung at the entrance of the Dortmund cafeteria; one glance at the handwriting revealed it to be Escrivá's work.

The reason for doing this was that the Dortmund head coach hoped players would recall their upcoming opponent every time before eating.

Chelsea!

"We need to know just how excellent Chelsea is; we must feel this pressure, and only then will we know what to do next!"

Escrivá spoke inside the cafeteria.

The players below chattered noisily.

"How has Ferran become like this?"

Haaland was shocked, unable to eat a single bite of the food on his plate for a long while: "We are eating, yet he wants us to be this tense!"

From a psychological perspective, Wa De Zuo Fa is naturally incorrect.

The problem is that Mr. Ferran seems to have become obsessed.

An obsessed person does not consider psychology.

"Then what shall we do?"

Tang Ye widened his eyes, appearing somewhat at a loss.

The Master wished to help the coach, but the Master was only a Football Master, not a Medical Master; he had no way to treat the problem Ferran was currently facing.

"Let him keep talking for now."

Pogba sat with one leg crossed over the other; this fellow had somehow already finished eating: "Once he tires, he will quiet down."

"Haha!"

Repost: Manchester United's China tour in July is confirmed for two matches; the venues are respectively the Beijing National Stadium (Bird's Nest) (approx. 90,000 seats) and Chengdu Phoenix Hill Sports Park (60,000 seats), with opponents being Beijing Beijing Guoan and the Chinese National Men's Football Team respectively. Among these, the second match simultaneously serves as a warm-up game for the National Team's Asian Cup Qualifiers Round 12.

【I said it was the Bird's Nest; other stadiums do not have enough seating capacity.】

【Holy crap, Chengdu! Tang Tang Qiuwang is coming to Chengdu? I need to prepare!】

【Damn! Why isn't Guangdong included? I thought it would be either Guangdong or Beijing; aren't they even coming to Tang Ye's hometown?】

【Manchester United vs. the National Team! A true Double Red Derby! The question is, how will the match be played then, and which side will Tang Ye join?】

【The people of Chengdu are laughing themselves silly, but why haven't they said where to grab tickets yet? Will it be a race to see who rushes in fastest on the day, with seats only for those who enter first?】

It seemed that due to the overly good results in the 2019 Asian Cup, the Football Association leaders also got carried away, agreeing to let the National Team play a warm-up match against Manchester United.

This is extremely interesting; the hype is even higher than Liwupu playing against Manchester United.

In the words of the fans, the National Team playing against Manchester United is the true Double Red Derby!

Unsurprisingly, the National Team is definitely unable to win, but choosing Manchester United as the opponent has a benefit: namely, how many goals are lost no longer matters; the main focus is simply on creating a spectacle.

Regardless of the match outcome, if a football game is not entertaining, then it is meaningless!

Great Chinese Team, you have already won the Asian Cup championship.

That is very good; congratulations on entering the next stage.

Your opponent is the 2020 Champions League champion!

【Asian Cup champions, Champions League champions, everyone is a champion; I don't understand what there is to fear. I think Manchester United just needs a beating; let them come to Chengdu for us to train them properly.】

The Sun front-page headline—Tickets for the Dortmund vs. Leverkusen match are being scalped in the secondary market up to 820 Euros each (originally in the 80 Euro zone); Dortmund fans have expressed strong dissatisfaction, hoping the club will take action to curb scalpers.

"The match between Dortmund and Leverkusen holds exceptional significance, as Dortmund will receive the Bundesliga championship shield immediately after the final whistle."

"Furthermore, this marks TY's farewell performance at Westfalen."

With the award ceremony combined with Tang Ye's final dance at Westfalen, the fervor surrounding this match went without saying.

At a price of 800 euros, this was approaching the cost of tickets for the European Cup knockout stages.

Fans hoped the government and the club would step in to crack down on these scalpers across Europe.

But experienced fans knew better.

No matter how many complaints fans lodged, they ultimately achieved little effect.

Because this stuff was simply too difficult to obtain!

On match day, the Ruhr area was bustling with activity; all roads within a three-kilometer radius of Westfalen were closed, and the streets were filled with Dortmund fans walking toward the stadium.

"Roar roar!!"

"Roar roar roar!!!"

The roar of motorcycle engines was deafening.

Some fans had come merely to witness Dortmund's title victory.

But some fans were not satisfied with just watching the championship celebration.

They had prepared everything long ago!

"Did you see that? This is my motorcycle!"

The interviewed fan pounded hard on his ride: "I have two hundred friends, and they all rode their motorcycles here."

"The moment the final whistle blows, my friends and I will start our engines and circle around Westfalen; you'll see just how fast we can go!"

"But..."

The reporter pointed toward the traffic police ahead: "The roads around the stadium are closed; how do you plan to get in?"

"Oh, that's not a problem."

The interviewed fan appeared extremely confident.

"There aren't as many of them as there are of us."

"What?"

"Oh, my brother is calling for me; I'm off now, goodbye!"

Roar roar roar!!!

Twisting the throttle, the interviewed fan rode off stylishly: "Wowhoo! Tom!!!"

"..."

Today, Tang Ye was a substitute player.

But the circumstances were special.

Even as a substitute, GGBond remained the protagonist of this match.

This was evident from the banners hanging outside Westfalen Stadium; one side displayed the Bundesliga championship shield, while the other featured a personal portrait of Tang Ye.

Did you think the media used the slogan "Dortmund's First Title in Nine Years" to promote this match?

Actually, no; nearly all European and Chinese media used "Last Dance" to describe this game.

The Bundesliga champion had long been decided, and the excitement among Dortmund fans had already subsided.

But this match was indeed Tang Ye's final game at Westfalen.

Once finished, he would head to Portugal.

Return after playing in Portugal?

Well, he would return, but upon coming back, Tang Ye would no longer play matches at Westfalen.

"Tang Ye!"

Bang bang!

"Tang Ye!"

Bang bang!

As both teams entered the pitch, Tang Ye sat on the substitutes' bench.

Under the focus of stadium-wide cameras, Tang Ye turned his gaze toward the South Stand.

"Ole~~"

"Ole ole~~ Olala!!!!"

A giant tifo slowly rose.

Whether due to the effects of medication or truly captivated by the tifo, during the entire thirty seconds it took to slowly unfurl, Tang Ye remained completely motionless, his eyes fixed on the display.

The figure in the yellow-and-black jersey within the tifo was undoubtedly Tang Ye, his arms tightly clutching a silver championship shield.

Lowering his head, Tang Ye gently kissed just above the championship shield.

"Tang Ye!"

"Tang Ye! Tang Ye!"

"Wow!!!!"

"..."

Tang Ye was somewhat at a loss for words; he could only pat the shoulder of Mats in front of him: "Mats, could you help me say something to Ferran?"
