Football: The national football team was expelled and rewarded with a long-range goal card Chapter 026

Fati, who had been sent off, didn’t go straight into the locker room. Instead, he sat in front of the TV at the player’s tunnel entrance, watching the live broadcast.

Truth be told, if given another chance, he would still do the same.

After all, if Ye Chen had broken through at that moment, it would have been a two-on-one situation in the attacking third, and they likely would have conceded another goal.

Of course, the most important thing was that he would become the backdrop for that goal, a shameful moment in his career.

So he would rather foul!

Precisely for this reason, Glasner didn’t blame him. Fouling at that moment was indeed the best option.

On the field, Ye Chen stood in front of the ball.

He took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the distant goal.

To be honest, the distance was too far.

But does that mean a goal is impossible from this distance? No!

As early as the World Cup, Carlos scored a 35-meter free-kick against the China team.

In addition, Ronaldinho also had a similar performance, but he chipped the ball directly over England’s goalkeeper Seaman.

Ye Chen had no other method; he could only rely on brute force for a miracle!

But he still rotated the direction of the football, placing the valve stem directly below the center of the ball, facing him.

This was the hardest point of the ball; kicking the ball with this point would yield the fastest speed!

The wall had already been set up, and Hummels, Subotić, and Perišić were all lurking at the far post.

The two full-backs, Chris Löwe and Piszczek, were positioned on the outside to receive the ball and prevent an opponent’s counter-attack.

The live commentator began to explain, “In the 89th minute, Dortmund gets a free-kick opportunity from over 35 meters out, but this distance is simply too far! Unless Ye Chen transforms into Carlos, he won’t be able to shoot directly! However, Götze has given the free-kick opportunity to Ye, so he must have excellent passing skills.”

“Alright, the referee has blown the whistle. Let’s see how Ye handles this shot!”

Everyone in the stadium focused their attention on Ye Chen!

Ye Chen took a deep breath and looked at Heinz Müller in front of the goal. His eyes became extremely determined.

His only thought now was: I want to complete a hat-trick on my debut too!

Why “too”?

Actually, in football, there was a formidable player who scored three goals in his very first match after joining Manchester United, completing a hat-trick!

But he cost Manchester United a hefty 27 million pounds, and that transfer fee set a record for young players at the time.

But the biggest difference now was… Ye Chen hadn’t cost Dortmund any transfer fee at all.

“Whew!”

Ye Chen let out a long breath and began a slow run-up.

The next moment, all the power in his body concentrated on his right leg! His instep straightened, and his leg was like a whip, fiercely striking the bottom of the football.

Instantly, the football took flight, but it was like a disobedient child, swerving left and right.

But the Mainz fans didn’t mind; the distance was too far, it couldn’t possibly go in!

However, Müller in front of the goal was sweating profusely. What was going on with this ball? Why was it so erratic?

Even the live commentator sighed, “He actually chose to shoot directly. Oh, what a pity, he shot it too…”

But before he could finish his sentence!

The flying football in the air suddenly made a rapid descent!

Müller in front of the goal quickly retreated and flew to save it…

The football flying in the air swerved left and right, its trajectory extremely strange and difficult to judge, but as it reached the goal, it suddenly dipped!

Müller fumbled to block the ball, but the ball slipped past his hands and into the goal!

“Too… too beautiful!” The commentator’s words got stuck in his throat before he could finish!

The next moment was a scream, “Gooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!”

The fans in the stadium incredulously clutched their heads, their eyes wide!

What did they see?

This was a miracle!

The ball was clearly flying straight towards the stands, but who knew it would suddenly dip!

“What a goal!!”

Besides praise, he couldn’t think of any other adjectives.

And after scoring, Ye Chen no longer restrained himself, directly taking off his jersey and showing off his entire physique!

He roared at the Dortmund fans!

He had been holding it in for too long during this period; he needed to roar to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart.

Although he didn’t actively follow online discussions, he could still hear some voices, more or less.

Including his arrival at Dortmund, it wasn’t all welcoming voices!

After all, his arrival was to snatch playing opportunities; at least the players in the attacking line wouldn’t welcome him.

But so what?

He had been continuously accumulating his strength, and finally, at this moment, it completely erupted!

The Dortmund fans in the stands also roared hoarsely.

Countless fans in front of their televisions excitedly jumped up from their seats.

However, the most excited were none other than Huang Jianxiang and Xu Yang, who were commentating!

“It’s in, it’s in, it’s in!”

“This free-kick… it’s truly too bizarre!”

“My goodness, how on earth was this shot kicked?” Huang Jianxiang looked at Xu Yang with an incredulous expression, hoping that Director Xu could provide a reasonable answer.

But Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, “This should be what’s commonly known as a ‘power and miracle’ shot! However, this trajectory is too strange… especially that sudden dip in front of the goal! This is very difficult for a goalkeeper to defend against!”

Actually, this couldn’t be blamed on Xu Yang.

Because the term “knuckleball” was only introduced by the Gazzetta dello Sport in 2012, and Cristiano Ronaldo called his knuckleball a “tomahawk.”

But none of that mattered; what was important was…

“Let’s congratulate Ye Chen for becoming the only player in Bundesliga history to score a hat-trick on his debut!” Huang Jianxiang took over the commentary, shouting excitedly.

Ye Chen was a person born to break records!

Although this celebration was very cool and showed off his good physique.

But the referee, as Ye Chen passed by, still smiled and showed him a yellow card!

However, this match was a memorable one for both the referee and the fans.

After all, a free-kick like this wasn’t something you could see just anywhere.

Of course, the only one who would want to forget this match was probably Fati.

He was already off the field, but with the appearance of this free-kick, he would surely be nailed to the pillar of shame, becoming a prime example of being utterly humiliated!

Sure enough, the big screen showed Fati, who was in the tunnel entrance and unwilling to return to the locker room!

One has to say, the live director really knows how to play, what a move to kill the spirit!

Fati covered his head. He should have just let that kid have the one-on-one chance…

Sigh, it’s really too embarrassing!

With the game at this point, the outcome was no longer in doubt!

Thanks to Ye Chen’s hat-trick, Dortmund completed a comeback in the second half, winning 3- 1 against host Mainz.

After the match, Ye Chen deservedly became the Man of the Match!

The official media also conducted a brief interview with him.

“Congratulations on becoming the first player in Bundesliga history to score a hat-trick on his debut! You’ve rewritten Bundesliga history! Congratulations!” The blonde, blue-eyed, curvaceous female host congratulated Ye Chen.

“Really?” Ye Chen showed a surprised expression on his face. “I’m really amazing!”

He wondered if the system for breaking Bundesliga records would give him any extra rewards?

He was looking forward to it…
