Chapter 817: Tang Ye's Siuuu? (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Votes, Seeking Monthly Votes!)

Halftime report: Manchester United leads Brighton 3:2 at the break; Cristiano Ronaldo provided an assist, and Tang Ye scored twice.

"Siuu!!"

"Damn it! Go prepare for the Champions League final, stop messing with us!"

The home fans were indeed extremely displeased with Manchester United.

In this Matchday 37 of the Premier League, with just one more win, Manchester United's league points for the season would reach 105, breaking their own previous record of 103 points.

Given Ten Hag's nature of loving to break records, there was no way he would conserve energy in such a match.

Must break the points record!

Must remain undefeated across all 38 league rounds!

Must create a new era!

"Thanks."

In the player tunnel, Tang Ye placed his hand on Cristiano Ronaldo's shoulder.

"Hmm?"

"Oh, never mind!"

Cristiano Ronaldo first gave a thumbs-up, then fist-bumped Tang Ye.

"Let's go, let's go."

"You can be a bit more aggressive when pressing."

Tang Ye emphasized the tactic to Cristiano Ronaldo again: "Don't hesitate to be bold; just keep an eye on the opposing defenders, and I'll find a way to get the ball to you!"

"They're playing very well; we can't afford to slip up!"

As captain, Tang Ye was actually still under pressure.

Ten Hag had issued orders that they must win the match, but at halftime, Manchester United led Brighton by only one goal.

Since the opposition was playing well, Manchester United inevitably had to ramp up their fighting spirit.

If the players became complacent just because they had already secured the title, they would be unable to complete Ten Hag's mission!

"..."

"Tang Ye, bypass Bissouma!"

"Pass directly to Cristiano Ronaldo!"

Arriving at the right position, Cristiano Ronaldo turned sideways to meet the ball.

He controlled it!

Boom!

A direct shot, and the ball went in!

4:2!

A goal from Cristiano Ronaldo!

"Roar——!!"

"3, 2, 1!"

"Siuu!!!"

Cristiano Ronaldo joined the away stand fans in unleashing his signature sound, while Dalot beside him performed the same motion.

"Nice, nice!"

Tang Ye approached from behind; Mata moved aside, Cristiano Ronaldo spread his arms, and he and Tang Ye embraced tightly.

"Bravo!!!"

"..."

"Hove! (Seagulls)"

"Hove! (Seagulls)"

Although trailing by two goals, Brighton was indeed playing quite well in this match.

Shortly after Cristiano Ronaldo's goal, Trossard unleashed a miraculous shot from outside Manchester United's penalty area.

"Gooo——aaa——llll!!!"

"Goal!"

"Trossard!"

"..."

"Cucurella!"

"Header!"

"Goal!"

"Oh, Brighton is very clever, seizing the opportunity of Manchester United's mass substitutions to launch a counterattack."

The score reached 4:4; outside the field, Ten Hag, furious and frustrated, placed his hands on his head, a sight that delighted many fans.

Yes!

That's exactly it!

Go Brighton, make Ten Hag suffer!

You arrogant Manchester United bandits, still thinking of scoring 105 points to break history?

It is Manchester United who must be punished!

"..."

Ten Hag chatted with Tang Ye for a while, then returned to sit on the substitutes' bench.

At this moment, the fans had also calmed down considerably.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, the fans of these Premier League giants, such as Mancheng and Liwupu, are quite pitiable.

Ten Hag has already secured the Premier League title in advance, yet they still need to celebrate and rejoice over a temporary draw for Manchester United.

When will Manchester United truly lose a match?

"Beep, beep-beep—!!!"

……

Match report: After substituting in their reserve squad away from home, Manchester United was held to a 4:4 draw by Brighton; after 37 rounds, they have accumulated a total of 103 points, and now need only to avoid defeat in their final match against Crystal Palace to break the single-season league points record they themselves created.

Welbeck and Trossard performed very well in today's match, and may even earn Ten Hag's attention as a result.

Some reporters indicated that these two players are worth watching, awaiting Manchester United's transfer plans for the next season.

However, transfers and the like are matters for after this season ends; next, Manchester United must shift their focus to the Champions League final on May 28th.

According to journalists' predictions, the starting lineup Real Madrid unveils for the Champions League final should be valued around 500 million euros, little different from Bayern Munich's.

Although a starting lineup value of 500 million euros falls far short of Manchester United's 1 billion euros, Real Madrid is not without its own advantages.

Currently, only Gutierrez is injured in the entire Real Madrid squad, meaning the starting lineup Real Madrid can field is their strongest and most practiced formation.

But Manchester United is different.

Starting center-back Lisandro Martinez is injured, De Ligt's form is average, and Varane no longer possesses the ferocity he showed during the World Cup.

Facing a Real Madrid side with every player in peak form, Manchester United will likely find the match quite strenuous.

"I think if Real Madrid wants to beat Manchester United, they must target the defensive line as their breakthrough point; similarly for Manchester United, if they want to beat Real Madrid, they certainly cannot rely too heavily on their defenders."

On Sky Sports Radio, renowned commentator Owen is being interviewed by a reporter, offering his views on the Champions League final.

"Considering that both Manchester United and Real Madrid will play the Champions League final after receiving their league trophies, the momentum of both teams at that time will undoubtedly be strong; I believe Manchester United holds a slight advantage, but their edge is insufficient to determine the course of the entire match."

"Then in your opinion, if you were to coach Manchester United, how would you defeat Real Madrid?"

"Wing attacks!"

Owen's stance was clear: "Wing attacks are Manchester United's best answer; at least in my view, if Ten Hag wants to beat Real Madrid, he must increase the responsibilities assigned to Rashford and Dembélé."

Manchester United's starting lineup is indeed more luxurious than Real Madrid's.

But perhaps because Real Madrid has won the Champions League title more times in their club history, statistics from data websites show that no small number of fans favor Real Madrid.

Forty-two percent of fans favor Real Madrid to win the match, while for Manchester United, the figure is 58%.

This gap is actually very small, after all, how bandit-like Manchester United has been this season is something everyone has witnessed with their own eyes.

……

Local time, May 22nd.

Old Trafford today is truly bustling; the number of fans present has clearly exceeded the stadium's maximum capacity.

Premier League Round 38: Manchester United vs. Crystal Palace.

Additionally, today is the day the Manchester United king receives the championship trophy!

"United!"

"United!"

Fans surrounded the team bus in layer after layer, shouting the team name and the players' names.

"Wow!"

Tang Ye rolled down the window, propping it open with one hand while extending the other to high-five the fans, producing a "pa-pa" sound, giving people the feeling that Manchester United was holding a championship parade.

Of course, this feeling cannot be said to be wrong, because strictly speaking, the current Premier League championship trophy already belongs to Manchester United; they simply have not yet received it.

"Ronaldo signed a 1+1 contract with Manchester United, which means he has the opportunity to renew his contract with the club after this season ends. Fans want to know whether the club will renew with him, or whether he himself has the intention to renew?"

Click-click!

Jumping straight to questions about Cristiano Ronaldo, one could say this reporter is indeed skilled at grasping the key points.

"Maybe, or maybe not. Right now, we know nothing."

This was the answer given by Ten Hag.
