Chapter 806: All I Want Is Fairness
April is arguably the most critical month of the season for Manchester United.
This is determined by Manchester United's unique circumstances.
Like Bayern and Real Madrid, Manchester United belongs to the title-contending group of their league and also has the upcoming Champions League matches.
When the league title race and the Champions League title race overlap, April and May become especially important.
As everyone knows, Manchester United's lead in the Premier League is still quite substantial, so April might be even more crucial for them than May.
Match Report: Manchester United defeats Liwupu 2-0 away; Tang Ye provides two assists, while C. Ronaldo and Bailly score; is Manchester United's title-winning momentum now unstoppable? (567,982 comments)
"Currently, the Premier League has concluded its 33rd round, and Manchester United remains undefeated. This means you only need to hold on for five more matches to achieve an undefeated Premier League season..."
"Oh, there's nothing much to say about that."
Ten Hag shook his head: "We do indeed have a certain advantage in the current standings."
"What I mean is, you will soon face Arsenal and Chelsea one after another, and your Champions League semi-final opponent has been confirmed as Bayern. Facing these three super-powerful teams consecutively, will this pose a challenge to your undefeated record?"
The reporter was being somewhat imprecise here, as Arsenal this season truly cannot be considered a strong team. At least, that is the case when compared to Chelsea and Bayern.
Of course, judging a team's strength solely based on this season's standings might be too one-sided.
"Not long ago, you just announced Lisandro's season-ending injury, and it seems Greenwood will also be unable to play for some time?"
"That is not a problem."
Ten Hag told the reporters that Manchester United's three-front title contention plan (League, Champions League, EFL Cup) had taken injuries into account; the absences of Martinez and Greenwood were within the scope of consideration.
"Then do you think Manchester United can secure the Premier League title before the end of April? Ronaldo's form seems to be recovering rapidly, while TY and Rodri have also maintained their competitiveness."
"I believe this is highly probable; currently, it seems no team can stop us."
Click-click!
Ten Hag was being very pretentious.
Very, very pretentious.
But Manchester United's strength stands right there; their number of wins and draws are written in the standings.
Hard strength is just like that, so no matter how Ten Hag speaks, the reporters have no way to refute him.
Perhaps this is what the Dutch call an "era."
Since you have already created and ruled an era, what else can the others, as losers, possibly say?
2021-22 Premier League Standings (as of Round 33):
1. Manchester United, 95 points.
2. Mancheng, 83 points.
3. Liwupu, 81 points.
4. Chelsea, 66 points.
5. Tottenham, 66 points.
Taking a look at the current Premier League standings.
One can see very clearly that Manchester United leads the second-place Mancheng by a full 12 points.
Recalling Mancheng's hundred-point title win in the 17-18 season, Manchester United fans at that time could be said to have suffered many grievances.
The good news is that the home team's players are performing well enough; exploding with power over several seasons has directly turned the situation around, and they have even pulled away from Mancheng at one point this season.
A 12-point gap is very rare in the Premier League over the past few seasons; especially since the "Three Kingdoms" era began, Manchester United, Mancheng, and Liwupu—these three teams—seem to have never had such a large gap between them.
So what exactly does this concept imply?
Regardless of how Mancheng and Liwupu perform, Manchester United only needs to secure 4 points in their next two matches to directly lock in the league title for this season!
"Eh, this is what we said before; Manchester United, hehe, they are going to win the title early."
On CCTV5+, commentator Zhang Lu is making analyses with the fans.
"However, eh, we cannot jump to conclusions directly, saying that Manchester United will definitely win the title early in April; that's hard to say. Let's look at Manchester United's upcoming schedule."
April 23: Arsenal vs. Manchester United (Premier League Round 34).
April 26: Manchester United vs. Bayern (Champions League Semi-final First Leg).
April 29: Manchester United vs. Chelsea (Premier League Round 35).
The richer the reward, the more obstacles one will encounter on the road.
If Manchester United keeps winning, they can certainly secure the title early, but judging by the opponents in the next three matches, achieving the three consecutive wins they plan for does not seem to be an easy task.
Tang Ye responds to the Greenwood incident: He has a very good relationship with Greenwood and will not unfollow Greenwood on social media before the official result is announced.
Sky Sports' Jensen: Bayern and Chelsea are strong, but Manchester United will definitely achieve three consecutive wins.
The Sun Front Page Headline: To attract investment for hotel operations, TY massively sells PPBOND shares; shareholding ratio drops to 14.2%, expected to fall below 8% before the World Cup begins.
Reposted by Check Dongqiu Di: On April 20, PPBOND's intraday price on the UK stock market broke through £18.5, approximately three times its initial issuance price of £6.2.
The stock PPBOND has generated significant heat, and many experts have offered their analyses.
Judging from the two elements of low market capitalization and high volatility, PPBOND is obviously a demon stock.
The most ridiculous part is the company's profitability situation; a company with a market cap of £680 million earns only a few million in profit annually, and since this company donates every day, the net profit is nearly negative after giving and taking.
But!
If you therefore look down on PPBOND, you are gravely mistaken.
With the Qatar World Cup and the Asian Cup in China approaching, these two major positive factors naturally cause the company's stock price to rise with the tide.
Regardless of whether the company can actually make money eventually, as long as the expected positive news is brewing here and the stock price can rise and make money, isn't that good enough?
【Douyin】
"It's red! Finally red! 20 percent!"
"Heaven's cycle turns; whom has Heaven ever spared?"
"Ggbond, you crooked dealer, now I've cleaned you out!"
"Brothers, I'm already looking forward to the market opening next Monday. With this good news about the Champions League and Premier League titles hyped up, won't the stock price rise by at least another 20% on Monday?"
"I never thought the day would come when I, Niu, would make a fortune from stocks!"
【66666】
【Everyone's been talking about this stock lately; are they about to start harvesting the leeks?】
【Tang Ye is selling, yet you're all buying? This company sells clothes and runs hotels; what the hell does that have to do with match results?】
【Just because Tang Ye is selling doesn't mean he's bearish. With one person holding so many shares, who else is left to buy your stock? Honestly, I feel Ppbond is the next Apple; I'm ready for takeoff. I love this kind of loss-making company.】
【The one above must be a troll, haha. But seriously, don't panic; if the stock price drops too much, I, Ggbond, will step in.】
【Good news: Ggbond has stepped in. Bad news: Ggbond is also trapped.】
The netizens' comments made Tang Ye furious.
In truth, he himself was extremely bullish on his company, for as a shareholder, Tang Ye could clearly feel the stock price rising.
The original plan was not to sell any stock, but Bo Er told him that if he always held over 20% of the shares, Ppbond's stock price would never rise.
There was no other way; Tang Ye could only bite the bullet and cut his losses.
Although he couldn't profit too much from this company himself, as long as Ppbond could develop, sacrificing his own interests was nothing!
Tang Ye was exactly the kind of person with such awareness, willing to make sacrifices!
"I've already arranged it with Morgan; he should come to visit you in four days, but... the situation seems a bit different now?"
Mendes and C. Ronaldo began discussing the interview.
They had previously agreed to tear off all pretenses with Ten Hag, and C. Ronaldo had indeed made up his mind.
However, starting from the quarter-final match against Villarreal, the situation suddenly took a bizarre turn.
Up to the present moment, C. Ronaldo had started in three consecutive matches!
