Chapter 706: Chinese National Team vs Manchester United

Dongqiu Di pinned post: First match after the completion of Phoenix Mountain Stadium, Tang Tang Qiuwang leads the Chinese national team to face Manchester United!

Phoenix Mountain Sports Center is a newly built stadium constructed by China to host the 2023 Asian Cup, fully meeting FIFA's requirements for international Class A match venues,

which means Phoenix Mountain Stadium has no running track!

【Alright, brothers, watch my Tang Tang Qiuwang perform up close.】

【Does the guy above have a ticket? Selling?】

【No ticket; I'm security. 80 yuan for 4 hours. Absolutely flying high.】

【66666. Feels like the Chinese national team has no chance of winning. Tang Ye leading the team against Australia might work, but Manchester United is a bit too exaggerated.】

【Don't panic, brothers. My Big Brother B will personally hand over possession!】

Phoenix Mountain Sports Center, football pitch.

"The red flag with five stars flutters in the wind; how loud is the song of victory."

"Singing of our dear motherland, from now on marching toward prosperity and strength!!!"

"Crossing Gaoshan!"

"Crossing the plains!"

Fan organizations sang rallying songs before the match, pushing the atmosphere around the stadium to a climax.

Soon, the bus carrying the Manchester United players arrived; the red bus bore the Little Devil crest and the letters "MUN."

"Tang Ye!"

"The Ball King has arrived!"

"Ggbond! Haha!"

The fans quickly ran over, searched for a long while, but could not find Tang Ye anywhere.

Only then did they remember Tang Ye was playing for the national team today.

Alright.

That works too.

"Rodri!"

"Go get 'em, Rodri!"

"Ten Hag! Ten Hag!"

"Saint Ten!"

Click-click!

"Erik, many Chinese fans like to call you 'Saint Ten.' Do you know what this term means?"

"Haha!"

As soon as the Xinhua News Agency reporter posed the question, the scene immediately reacted.

Ten Hag had not expected the reporter's first inquiry to be about this very topic.

"Of course I... hmm."

Having often secretly studied Chinese fans, Ten Hag naturally knew the two Chinese characters for "Saint Ten."

"To be honest, I'm not entirely clear."

Ten Hag sighed.

"The meaning of this term is simply that you are very formidable."

"Oh, thank you."

Ten Hag appeared somewhat surprised, then shrugged as if it were only natural: "I didn't expect to receive so much support from Chinese fans; I'm truly very grateful. However, I must say this is all something I should do as a Manchester United coach. As for developing Tang—"

"Although I provided the greatest help during Tang's journey to becoming the world's number one, I must say you cannot therefore overlook Tang's footballing talent."

Ten Hag was so serious that the reporters below fell silent.

"Although compared to my help for Tang, his talent did not demonstrate an overly astonishing effect, the fact remains that his talent is a major reason he could reach this stage."

"Oh!"

The Xinhua News Agency reporter's mouth twitched.

【Too classic!】

【From cloud-fans, you might actually hear words like 'Tang Ye has no talent.' Hmm, you can hear it from Ten Hag's mouth too.】

"Then... your opponent today is the Chinese national team led by Tang Ye. We generally believe the gap in strength between the Chinese national team and Manchester United is quite large. In this situation, what are your considerations?"

"Oh, I don't think Manchester United is that much better than the Chinese team. I've seen fans on TOP compare Manchester United to the 'European Chinese Team.' I think this analogy is very apt because I believe our strengths are relatively close, not as vastly different as you suggest."

"..."

"..."

The Xinhua News Agency reporter and Ten Hag stared blankly at each other.

"My meaning was that the Chinese national team and Manchester United differ too greatly..."

Ten Hag had a "sudden realization" and even laughed at himself.

"Oh, haha, it's like that."

Adjusting his sitting posture, Ten Hag answered the question: "First, I must state that the Chinese national team is a very outstanding squad; they have the capability to contend for the World Cup championship, which is also why we chose China as our warm-up match opponent."

"As for the vast gap in strength you mentioned, hmm... I believe the Chinese team has the ability to handle this issue."

Clap-clap-clap-clap!

"Good evening, dear audience friends; this is the LeSports live broadcast room!"

"This match marks the first encounter between the Chinese national team and Manchester United."
