Sky Sports commentator Jason: Seven Bundesliga teams have yet to score more goals than TY has individual assists. Those teams really ought to do some serious self-reflection.
Tang Ye had 46 assists in 33 rounds. At first glance, that seemed pretty terrifying.
But take another look, and it would scare you to death outright.
A comparison made it clear: Tang Ye had successfully surpassed seven teams in the same league.
Moreover, among the midfield trios of the other 17 Bundesliga teams this season, not one trio had a combined assist total that could reach 46.
Yes, including Bayern Munich.
In response, Borussia Dortmund's sporting director said in an interview: "I don't need to emphasize Borussia Dortmund's success this season to the media any further. This season's path and achievements are impossible to replicate."
"The final against Chelsea is about to begin. Do you think Borussia Dortmund can complete a three-peat?"
"Yes, of course. Without a doubt."
Three affirmations in a row. The director showed absolute faith in the team's strength.
After all, this season's Borussia Dortmund had reached its strongest point of the century. It was only natural for the management to be confident.
"You must have seen the post-match interview too. TY said we would win the Champions League, so I don't think I need to say anything more."
"Mm."
The reporter nodded.

"Then... sir, we've seen how much faith you have in Borussia Dortmund this season, so let's not discuss whether they can win the Champions League for now. A different question—um... do you think the team can replicate this season's success next season?"
"..."
The director held the microphone in his hand and looked at the reporter
