Chapter 729: The So-Called Uniting of the Nine Feudal Lords

"Hmm..."

Tang Ye kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

Things were starting to get interesting.

You want Tang Ye to unite the nine feudal lords.

OK, no problem, nine it is!

But!

Why does this group of nine include Cristiano Ronaldo?

To be honest, if Tang Ye were to analyze it himself, his conclusion would be that turning Cristiano Ronaldo into a subordinate would be even more difficult than subduing the other eight!

At present, Tang Ye still did not know what the so-called criteria for being a "subordinate" were.

But one thing was certain: this was the most difficult task Tang Ye had ever received in his life.

Bar none.

The so-called "uniting the nine feudal lords" was merely a euphemism.

That damn System was just creating difficulties for him, wanting Ggbond to suppress Cristiano!

"What's wrong?"

Dembélé looked up, gazing at Tang Ye with an incredulous expression: "There's no need to be this upset just because Aphelios got nerfed, right?"

Both Dembélé and De Jong had noticed the change in Tang Ye's expression.

Just after complaining that his favorite champion had been nerfed, Tang Ye clenched his teeth tightly a few minutes later.

It was hard not to suspect that Ggbond wanted to grab a knife and go after the League of Legends designers.

"..."

Tang Ye shook his head: "No, no, it's not about those things."

"Games are secondary; the key is the match, the football match is what matters!"

"Oh, come on! Stop pretending!"

Dembélé leaned his upper body back: "You just want to slash the designers; just say it outright!"

"Ousmane, you take games too seriously."

Tang Ye couldn't help but lecture Dembélé: "Haven't you noticed how much time you spend playing games? It was that much a few years ago, and it's still that much now."

"You should learn from me. I only play twice a week now. Hmm, three times at most!"

Tang Ye held up three fingers, trying to make Dembélé understand the gap between them.

"Haha!"

Hearing this, De Jong nudged Dembélé from the side.

The French striker was unconvinced: "Shit! Are you my father and mother now, telling me to play fewer games?"

"He's already married, so he can indeed act as your father and mother."

De Jong spoke up for Tang Ye.

"Fuck you!"

Dembélé jumped up: "So you're on his side too, aren't you? Don't you think everything he said is wrong? He started by talking about games, but now he's saying I play too much; what is this? It makes absolutely no sense!"

"He really does play less than you. How about this: you should listen more to Father Tom; Father knows what's best for you."

De Jong continued to speak up for Tang Ye, and the Manchester United midfielder comfortably rode on their coattails to victory.

"What are they doing? Why are they talking about fathers and mothers?"

"I recall that TY's child hasn't been born yet."

At a distant table, Cristiano Ronaldo stretched his neck out.

First, he glanced at Tang Ye's table, then turned to look at Dalot in front of him: "Are they always like this?"

Dalot shrugged: "I was loaned out as soon as I arrived here, so to be honest, I haven't been here much longer than you have."

"Hmm."

Cristiano Ronaldo nodded.

"The atmosphere is quite nice. A professional team should indeed be like this, though I feel we might be a bit too relaxed during training; training and rest should be kept separate."

"That can't be helped, Rony."

Dalot first expressed his support for Cristiano Ronaldo, then offered his own Ji De Kan Fa: "We're too fierce; we've basically lost hardly any matches, so how could we possibly be tense?"

"That's true too."

Cristiano Ronaldo took a deep breath.

The Manchester United squad was full of geniuses, among whom the duo of Tang Ye and Dembélé, these two comrades-in-arms, were the most formidable.

They relied entirely on talent to play football, without a shred of effort.

Under normal circumstances, such players would generally encounter unprecedented predicaments at some stage of their careers, then come to a halt, and finally begin to decline.

But the situation with Tang Ye and Dembélé was somewhat special.

They were different from ordinary talent-based players; these two guys possessed enough talent to sweep away everything.

If one could win the Champions League relying solely on talent, then football would be no different from playing video games; indeed, there was no need to be tense.

"Regardless, it's best to be more serious during training."

Cristiano Ronaldo said, and Dalot nodded in support: "Hmm... Rony, haven't you felt that Erik doesn't seem to like you very much?"

"I have never needed a coach's liking."

Cristiano Ronaldo curled his lip: "He thinks I'm old, and that old people can't do anything."

"I will let him know who is right and who is wrong."

For now, it seemed impossible to continue competing with Tang Ye.

But it doesn't matter.

Cristiano Ronaldo will deliver a good enough performance in the match and then prove Ten Hag wrong.

"Actually, you are already the starting striker."

Dalot believed Cristiano Ronaldo didn't need to maintain such immense pressure.

"No! This isn't about fighting for a starting spot; this is about competition."

Cristiano Ronaldo placed his hand on the table, teaching his junior a lesson.

"Do you know why Tang Ye was willing for me to return, but Erik was not?"

"Those with strength do not fear competition, but what about those without strength? They fear competition the most!"

Ten Hag refused to even look Cristiano Ronaldo in the eye.

In that case, Cristiano Ronaldo certainly wouldn't be polite to him either!

Japan Football Association official announcement: The venue for the 4th round of the Asian Qualifiers Final Round against the Chinese national team is Saitama Stadium 2002 in Saitama City.

Dongqiu Di reposted: Saitama Stadium 2002, a professional stadium built by Japan for the 2002 World Cup; will playing away at this devil's stadium be the Chinese national team's biggest challenge in 2021?

As the match against the Japanese team drew closer, Chinese fans were extremely nervous.

This was not only because of the Japanese team's increasingly strong performance in recent years, but also because of a statement Tang Ye made in a previous interview: The Japanese team is getting stronger and stronger, making them very difficult to handle.

Actually, just looking at the roster makes it clear; although the Japanese team's total value cannot compare to China's at all, they possess many players from the top five leagues.

Tough to deal with!

Hajime Moriyasu, interviewed by NHK: The Chinese team has a legend, but Japan's unity and courage can overcome everything. The Asian Qualifiers are just the first step; our goal is to reach the quarterfinals.

【Playing the bond game with my GG Bond again】

【Stop the baseless slander; look at the first two rounds of the Final Round, Japan was fierce】

【None can compare to my King of Ball Tang Ye; which Japanese defender can stop my King of Ball Tang Ye?】

【Haha, classic Tang Ye fan rhetoric. Then let me ask you, is Tang Ye the only one playing for the Chinese team?】

【Hey, don't say that, Japan has many top-tier defenders; even if you sent Yua Mikami and Saika Kawakita, how would your Tang Ye get past them?】

The pressure was simply too great; those with resources went to watch Japanese movies to relieve stress and learn about the specific defensive abilities of Yua Mikami and Saika Kawakita, while those without resources searched Bilibili for videos of China playing Japan in the Asian Cup.

William Hill UK – 2020 Ballon d'Or (Retroactive) Odds List:

1. Tang Ye (Manchester United, China), 1.16 to 1.

2. Lewandowski (Bayern Munich, Poland), 12.45 to 1.

3. Rodri (Manchester United, Spain), 14.24 to 1.

4. Messi...

5. De Bruyne...

6. Cristiano Ronaldo...

Judging from the odds data provided by William Hill, the 2020 Ballon d'Or selection was a very special year.

Both Messi and Ronaldo dropping out of the top three was extremely rare in the past decade.

Besides the odds for the 2020 Ballon d'Or, William Hill also provided odds for the 2021 Ballon d'Or.

Additionally, there was a rather special betting market.

【Can Tang Ye win two Ballon d'Or awards simultaneously?】

Yes: 1.8 to 1.

No: 2.41 to 1.

Compared to the first two betting markets, the third market could obviously yield more profit, but the risk was equally enormous.

If FIFA truly presents Tang Ye with two Ballon d'Or trophies simultaneously in December, this would not just be something unprecedented.

It would also be something never to be repeated!

Manchester United legend Ferdinand: Tang Ye's ability deserves winning two Ballon d'Or awards simultaneously, but I don't think FIFA will do it; they have always been very stingy.
