Chapter 776: Aman Gradually Strengthens, Ivankovich Betrays

Cristiano Ronaldo accepted an interview: "I won't comment on the Asian qualifiers, but if a teammate qualifies for the World Cup, I will be happy for him; being a substitute is a tactical requirement, but I feel tactical requirements aren't always correct."

Rodri: "The Chinese team is undoubtedly great; if they become the first team besides Qatar to qualify for the World Cup finals, I wouldn't be surprised in the least."

Baidu Hot Search:

No. 1: National Football Team 3:1 Vietnam.

No. 2: The Chinese team is going to play in the World Cup again.

No. 3: Qatar World Cup Chinese Team.

After defeating Vietnam away, the Chinese team set off for Saudi Arabia as planned.

To be honest, the pressure on the national football team players is actually quite significant right now.

The reasons fall into two aspects; first is Escrivá's strict demands.

Because there has been little progress in the Asian qualifiers up to now, the Chinese team's players have been scolded severely.

Fortunately, Escrivá is not Ten Hag; otherwise, the national football team players would probably be gasping for air even on the plane.

The other aspect is the World Cup.

"Thanks to" the media's massive publicity, the buzz about the national football team qualifying early for the World Cup finals has begun to ferment, which is exactly what the players least want to see.

Once things ferment, fans, or rather onlookers, will naturally amplify their expectations for the Chinese team.

By then, if they don't make it to the World Cup, it will be awkward!

"Brother Lei, what are you nervous about?"

Tang Ye looked at Wu Lei sitting diagonally in front of him; the Chinese team forward was wearing his U-shaped neck pillow. Although lying down, he was not sleeping.

"The World Cup; just thinking that we'll know the result after the match on February 1st makes me so f***ing excited I can't sleep."

"Haha, it's nervousness that keeps you from sleeping."

"What can be done about it."

To Zhang Zhang Yuning's teasing, Wu Lei simply admitted it frankly.

Being nervous is being nervous; there's really no point in avoiding it, after all, the World Cup only happens once every four years, and the Chinese team's frequency of participating in the World Cup is far lower than teams like Japan and South Korea.

"It's fine, don't be nervous."

Tang Ye crossed his legs: "Once the UAE takes out Oman, we get a direct pass."

"Haha!"

"Impossible!"

Wu Xi seemed to have great faith in Oman: "I really feel Oman can win; their lineup isn't bad."

"But the UAE isn't bad either."

Tang Ye said: "I'll blindly guess 2:0; the UAE shuts out Oman with two goals, and then we confirm our qualification for the World Cup before playing Saudi Arabia."

"Haha!"

"We'll know when we watch the match at the hotel later."

Tang Ye set up the small tray table and took out a pack of puzzles from his backpack.

"Damn, you like doing puzzles? I just found out."

Zhang Zhang Yuning watched from the side: "Is your puzzle one of those very difficult kinds? The pieces are so tiny."

"Yeah, I haven't successfully completed one yet."

Tang Ye rubbed his nose, opened the bag, placed it on his thighs, and studied the items on the table.

"Isn't this boring?"

Both Zhang Zhang Yuning and Ai Ai Kesen were watching Tang Ye work on the puzzle.

In their view, this was obviously a meaningless activity. Especially the puzzle Tang Ye chose; without even thinking, one could imagine how high the difficulty was.

"It is boring."

As he spoke, Tang Ye's gaze began to wander, and he quickly shook his head.

"But I use this for training; it's to train focus."

"Oh! So that's it, hey, haha, I thought you just liked playing with them."

After all that, it turned out to be for treating ADHD; Zhang Zhang Yuning sat beside him, pondering: "Then roughly how long does it take you to finish this? I feel like even without ADHD, one might not be able to complete this."

"It seems to be about three hours, I'm not sure either. You don't need to finish it all; I time it, requiring a certain percentage to be completed within half an hour or an hour."

"Professional."

Zhang Zhang Yuning gave Tang Ye a thumbs-up.

Since it was something for treating an illness, Zhang Zhang Yuning stopped disturbing Tang Ye and started scrolling through news on his phone.

Repost: A YouTube blogger analyzes Cristiano Ronaldo's micro-expressions: The Portuguese star might be suffering from social anxiety.

"This..."

Zhang Zhang Yuning widened his eyes, wanting to ask Tang Ye about matters related to Cristiano Ronaldo.

But seeing Tang Ye's face fully focused on finding puzzle pieces, Zhang Zhang Yuning decided to give up for the time being.

Cristiano Ronaldo is suffering from social anxiety...

It feels like this YouTube blogger has suspicions of clickbait, but after watching the video, this guy really analyzed Cristiano Ronaldo's micro-expressions quite convincingly, acting just like a CIA agent.

Furthermore, this blogger reached a conclusion: The relationship between Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Ye might not be as good as fans imagine.

After all, fans are just fans; they only have a god's-eye view when watching matches. At other times, such as during base training or eating in the cafeteria, these are things fans cannot see with their own eyes.

However, looking at it comprehensively, to be honest, Zhang Zhang Yuning didn't particularly believe what this blogger said.

Front-page headline of "The Sun": TY's PPBOND (Bubble Bond) lists on the London Jiaoyisuo (ticker: PPBD), with an estimated market cap of 230 million pounds; the total number of initial shares is unknown, and the share price is approximately 5–15 pounds.

PS: PPBOND Company is a comprehensive commercial enterprise under TY, covering apparel, furniture, budget hotels, and other businesses; its Chief Executive Officer is Bo Er (TY's agent).

"According to disclosures from PPBOND Company, if the listing on the London Stock Exchange succeeds, TY is expected to become the largest shareholder (holding 20% to 25%); this move is regarded as TY's immense trust in Bo Er's management of the company, demonstrating his strong belief in the success of the company's operations."

"Additionally, after completing financing through the listing, PPBOND Company has pledged to launch two new business lines: insurance and mortgage loans. Of course, the company's core businesses will remain apparel and furniture."

"We believe Tom's celebrity effect will benefit the company's new ventures; this could become the next 'ten-bagger' on the London Stock Exchange," said Chief Executive Officer Bo Er during an interview with reporters.

Upon seeing this news, many fans' first reaction was sheer bewilderment.

This Bo Er is truly a damn talent; while working as an agent, he went and started playing with companies, and what's most awesome is that he actually pulled it off.

Actually, upon careful thought, Bo Er fits the typical portrait of a business tycoon: he first leveraged Tang Ye to become one of Europe's most famous agents, then realized his strength couldn't match those veteran agents, so he directly chose an unconventional path.

From the current perspective, the path Bo Er has taken is the correct one.

Although listed on the London Jiaoyisuo, the majority of Bubble Bond's businesses, such as apparel and furniture, target the Asia-Pacific market, or to put it more bluntly, China.

A T-shirt bearing Tang Ye's logo costs only 59 yuan, and it's authentic—who wouldn't be dazzled by that?

【What exactly is a budget hotel? I've never seen one; is it a GG Hotel?】

【GGBond, please stop milking us; we really have no money left (tears) (tears).】

【This Bo Er is a true genius; listing before the World Cup, then raising 1 billion pounds to play with loans, is that the plan?】
