Chapter 811: If Possible, I Would Like to Apologize to You

"You... what is this?"

Tang Ye looked down at the hand Cristiano Ronaldo was extending toward him.

Instinctively, he wanted to raise his own hand, but in the end, his brain kept him under control.

"It's just..."

Seeing that Tang Ye did not shake his hand immediately, Cristiano Ronaldo felt somewhat awkward; he withdrew his hand, rubbed his chin, and then smoothed his hair: "I realized I might have done some things wrong, so I need to apologize to you. Some of the things I did before weren't very good."

"Some things? What things?"

"I don't know either."

"..."

Watching Cristiano Ronaldo gently shaking his head, Tang Ye was completely bewildered.

He wanted to apologize because he had done something wrong.

As for what wrong thing he had done.

Is not knowing still acceptable?

"This..."

Tang Ye carefully sized up Cristiano Ronaldo.

Judging from the words Cristiano Ronaldo had spoken, Tang Ye couldn't shake the feeling that this teammate of his hadn't woken up yet.

But judging from his movements and demeanor, Cristiano Ronaldo should be rational right now.

"Then you at least have to tell me what thing it is; you can't just apologize randomly."

Cristiano Ronaldo's words made even Tang Ye feel awkward, to the point where he even had the urge to apologize for having insulted Cristiano Ronaldo midway through the match earlier.

"It's just... maybe my understanding of some tactics isn't as good as yours, and then..."

Cristiano Ronaldo rubbed his chin: "And then I made some not-so-good decisions, which led to us not getting along very well."

"..."

Tang Ye narrowed his eyes.

His brain was working so hard it felt like it was about to burn up.

Yet he still couldn't figure out what Cristiano Ronaldo meant.

So was this a problem with Tang Ye's comprehension ability, or a problem with Cristiano Ronaldo's expression ability?

He recalled a passage posted by Chinese fans in the comments section of Check Dongqiu Di earlier: "Ggbond and Cristiano Ronaldo are the most abstract combination in the history of football; I suspect that when these two talk, they fundamentally don't know what the other is saying."

Originally, he thought that was fans mocking him and Cristiano Ronaldo.

But now it seemed like it might actually be true?

"What do you mean by 'not-so-good decisions'? You must have said something wrong; there's no need to apologize for that."

"Uh, I can't explain it clearly either."

Cristiano Ronaldo shook his head: "Anyway, it's just, uh, I think you're a pretty decent person, and before, my relationship with you might have had some issues because I didn't handle some things very well."

While speaking, Cristiano Ronaldo extended his hand again: "If possible, I want to apologize to you. I know the matter is a bit serious, but if it can gradually pass, I still hope it can gradually pass."

The matter is a bit serious.

But no one knows what matter it is.

Tang Ye simply couldn't understand why Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly wanted to apologize to him; the whole situation was just too bizarre.

"Can you accept it?"

Cristiano Ronaldo's hand hung suspended in midair.

Tang Ye raised an eyebrow; although he still didn't understand the situation, since Cristiano Ronaldo had already gone this far, he naturally had to extend his own hand.

After shaking hands with Tang Ye and withdrawing his hand, Cristiano Ronaldo nodded and broke into a smile.

Just like committing a foul on the football field, extending a hand means apologizing; if the other party accepts your handshake or slaps your hand, then the matter is settled (this doesn't mean temporarily setting aside grudges; a handshake means this conflict is completely over).

However, the situation between Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Ye today was somewhat peculiar.

The bizarre relationship between the two had already lasted for some time, so of course they couldn't resolve all problems with a single handshake like they would on the field.

The bizarre apology ended; Cristiano Ronaldo didn't say anything else to Tang Ye, merely nodding before walking away.

"Oh, right."

Thinking of something, Cristiano Ronaldo turned back: "I just said you're a decent person, but that only applies to you; I have no intention of praising Ten Hag."

"I won't curse Erik in front of you anymore either; that guy is just how he is. Hmm, that's it, goodbye."

"Uh... okay, goodbye."

Tang Ye tilted his head.

As soon as Cristiano Ronaldo left, Dembélé and De Jong quickly ran over: "What's the situation, what's the situation?"

"What happened to you two? Damn, I thought he was going to hit you with a handshake kill; I was already ready to jump out and help you."

De Jong pressed his hand on Dembélé's shoulder and pointed to a corner in the distance: "He and I were hiding right there, haha, getting ready to come out and save you."

"Eh, it's nothing, it's nothing."

Tang Ye no longer had the mood to wash his hands; he kicked the water pipe away: "I don't know what the situation is either; he insisted on apologizing to me."

"Apologize to you? Why, because he realized you're the big brother and he's just the little brother?"

"Eh, be serious; I'm not joking."

Tang Ye stopped the giggling Dembélé.

"Alright, whatever then; so why did he want to apologize to you?"

"I don't know either."

"You don't know? I saw you extend your hand, didn't I?"

"Since he extended his hand, of course I had to accept it; mainly, I also don't know why he wanted to apologize to me. Anyway, the general idea is that there were some issues in how we got along before, and he wants to resolve this problem. And then... uh, and then there was no 'and then'."

Tang Ye's words completely fried Dembélé and De Jong.

"I feel like the problem lies with you."

De Jong said, "You can't speak clearly, and then both of you are interpreting this matter using your own mindsets, but your mindsets are completely different."

De Jong flashed his signature grin: "I think I know what it is."

"What is it?"

Tang Ye focused his attention.

"He was probably apologizing for the shouting match with you earlier, and you accepted it, but neither of you has figured out what the other actually meant. Because I know that both of you are quite absurd; unless someone knows you particularly well, chatting with you isn't easy."

"Really?"

Tang Ye didn't quite believe De Jong's words.

Dembélé expressed his support for De Jong.

"Alright then. It doesn't matter."

Not knowing if he was influenced by Cristiano Ronaldo, Tang Ye also pressed his hand against his chin.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly shook his head: "Forget it, no point analyzing it. Anyway, this should be a good thing, and if it's a good thing, then it doesn't matter."

"When Saturday Comes"—Ten Hag inquired with Tottenham about Kane, viewing him as Manchester United's answer at the center-forward position.

"Ten Hag told Kane that he could offer the Englishman everything, including but not limited to Premier League and Champions League titles."

"According to reporters, the player himself is open to a transfer to Manchester United, but Manchester United cannot meet the exorbitant price demanded by Tottenham (though the exact amount remains unknown)."

Match Preview: May 6th, Champions League Semi-final Second Leg. Manchester United visits the Allianz Arena to face Bayern Munich. With the first leg ending 0-0, can Tang Ye lead the team to break through?

They go to Germany on the 6th to play Bayern, but three days prior, on the 3rd, Manchester United still has a Round 36 Premier League match to play against Brentford.

If you are a die-hard Bayern fan, you will likely post comments on social media supporting Brentford, hoping this Premier League team can exhaust as much of Manchester United's energy as possible.

However, from a practical standpoint, Manchester United, having already secured the Premier League title, will certainly not devote too much thought to the match against Brentford.

At most, Ten Hag will field one and a half starting lineups to preserve their unbeaten league record for the season; asking for more is simply impossible.

The first leg ended 0-0, so won't both sides fight tooth and nail in the second leg at the Allianz Arena?

Old Trafford Stadium.

Today is the day Manchester United hosts Brentford, marking Manchester United's first match in May.

"China Central Television..."

Before the commentator could begin introducing the starting lineup, the camera first cut to Tang Ye on the substitutes' bench.

Tang Ye was truly arrogant, leaning back in his chair with his feet propped up on the seat in front of him.

His mouth was moving, but he wasn't speaking to anyone; the commentator stated he was 99.9% sure that Tang Ye was chewing gum, and barring any surprises, it was probably mint-flavored.

"Many of Manchester United's key players aren't in the starting lineup today, including Tang Ye, Rodri, and Cristiano Ronaldo."

"Correct, they need to prepare for the Champions League semi-finals. However, I think Tang Ye still has a chance to play in this match, coming off the bench to warm up his feel for the game!"

"Haha!"
