Are you interested in the Bundesliga?

Xiaopang was an international student, and he was studying at the University of Manchester!

Studying in this city, it was easy to be infected by its football atmosphere, so naturally, Xiaopang became a die-hard Manchester United fan.

With nothing better to do today, he decided to watch the U18 Red Derby.

Although it was just an U18 match, it still attracted many passionate fans to watch.

As a devoted follower of Manchester United's youth development, Xiaopang closely followed the progress of these young talents.

If Manchester United could produce two more geniuses like Pogba, they could save a lot on transfer fees.

However, when he saw the squad list, he was surprised to find Ye Chen's name on Manchester United's U18 roster.

"Wait, wasn't he supposed to be reporting for the national team?" Xiaopang was stunned for a moment before opening the domestic chat group to ask about the situation.

What followed was a flood of curses!

At the same time, he saw several articles that had been reposted...

The content was almost identical—criticizing Ye Chen, saying that someone who couldn't even get playing time in Manchester United's U18 squad was acting like a diva.

Some even said that not only was he bad at football, but he was also a terrible person.

Of course, the group was filled with Manchester United fans, who were well aware of Ye Chen's situation in the youth team.

So, they were among the first to be disappointed in him!

But Xiaopang posted the latest squad list from Manchester United's official website in the chat, and for a moment, the group fell silent.

Everyone was shocked—Ye Chen actually made the squad!

And it was for such a crucial match like the Red Derby!

This match was broadcast on a local Manchester TV station, but for Chinese fans to watch, they either had to use a VPN or find a private stream.

Someone actually found a link.

These broadcasts were purely out of passion, without any profit.

But indeed, many people were following this match.

The first half was a one-man show from Sterling, but when Ye Chen came on in the second half, everything changed!

The relationship between the fans and Ye Chen started to heat up.

Like a budding romance, their feelings grew deeper...

That corner-kick play—Januzaj crossed into the box, and Ye Chen arrived late to smash in a volley!

A flawless strike, a thunderous shot, instantly igniting the passion of the fans.

That single shot made countless Manchester United fans fall in love with this guy!

Then came his feint in front of goal, calmly setting up a teammate instead of forcing a shot.

That was when everyone saw Ye Chen's true potential for the future!

Any brainless striker would have blasted the ball without thinking.

But Ye Chen, in the most chaotic situation, made the most composed decision!

Who wouldn't love such a player?

But what truly made everyone adore him was that dazzling dribble and that insane long-range chip shot!

Xiaopang, watching in the stands, was moved to tears!

Countless fans watching the broadcast were left in deep thought...

They couldn't believe it—the player who was showcasing his talent so effortlessly on the pitch was being labeled by the Chinese Football Association as "untalented," "mediocre," and "not worth expecting"!

Just ask—who in Chinese football could score a halfway-line chip in an official match?

Before long, the highlights of the Manchester United U18 vs. Liverpool U18 match were edited and uploaded online.

Falling behind, equalizing, trailing again, equalizing again!

And in the end, a Chinese teenager scored a long-range wonder goal to seal the victory!

What an epic storyline!

When officials from the Chinese FA saw the video, they were stunned as well.

But the team leader quickly dismissed it, saying, "Football is full of coincidences. A long-range chip like that is mostly luck!"

This statement left netizens in shock!

They had seen people who didn't understand football before, but never someone this clueless!

Did he really think a halfway-line chip could be pure luck?

Back at Old Trafford, as the referee blew the final whistle, the match was over.

Before anyone else could approach Ye Chen, Liverpool's Sterling rushed over first.

"Hey, brother, wanna come play for Liverpool? Partner with me!" Sterling grinned, extending an invitation to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was taken aback for a moment. "No, thanks!"

He didn't have three years to waste.

He originally thought he would make his name as a Manchester United youth player, but fate had something else in store.

"Then at least swap jerseys with me. You were amazing today. See you on the pitch in the future!" Sterling took off his shirt.

But Ye Chen shook his head. "Sorry, this is my last Manchester United jersey. I want to keep it as a memento!"

"Alright... but if you ever change your mind, remember—Liverpool's doors are always open for you!"

"Get lost!"

Before Sterling could say anything else, Januzaj shoved him aside!

"Ye, don't listen to him. We're not going anywhere!" Januzaj said seriously.

"Yeah, stay! The team needs you!" Kyliano ran over as well.

Sterling didn't argue. He simply left.

Even though Liverpool lost, his individual performance was outstanding.

Now, he needed to figure out which club to join on loan for further development before returning to Liverpool's first team.

After all, while U18 matches had some competitiveness, they were nowhere near professional league standards.

As for Ye Chen's future... hopefully, they would meet again at the top!

Even after the match ended, the Manchester United fans were reluctant to leave.

But Ye Chen walked straight to Solskjaer. "Boss, what the hell is going on?"

Solskjaer sighed. "Let's talk in the locker room. Your situation is... complicated."

Inside the locker room, Solskjaer locked the door, leaving only himself and Ye Chen inside.

"Kid, even I find this decision unbelievable. But the club's management has informed me—you're no longer a Manchester United player."

"That fast?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. "Doesn't contract termination need approval from the FA?"

Solskjaer shook his head. "This was a unilateral decision by the club. You'll receive your salary for this month—90 euros, plus 2,000 euros in severance pay. Kid, do you still want to play football?"

"Of course!" Ye Chen answered without hesitation.

"My hometown club, Molde FK in Norway, has invited me to coach. I'd like you to join my team!"

Ding! Do you accept the invitation from Molde FK?

"No!" Ye Chen silently rejected it in his mind before replying to Solskjaer, "Sorry, boss, I want to stay in the top five leagues!"

"How about I talk to Sir Alex and see if we can get you a new contract?"

"No need!" Ye Chen shook his head.

A broken heart was like shattered glass.

If they were willing to pay 2,000 euros just to get rid of him, why should he stay?

Solskjaer understood. "By the way, are you interested in the Bundesliga? I have a good friend who's an assistant coach at a German club... You know your situation. It's difficult for you to get a work permit in England."

"Of course I'm interested..." Ye Chen's eyes lit up.

Having connections made things much easier—it saved him the trouble of reaching out to clubs himself!
