Football: The national football team was expelled and rewarded with a long-range goal card Chapter 125

“What did I see? What did I see?”

On CCTV- 5, Huang Jianxiang roared into the microphone.

“Ye Chen dribbled past three players at the last moment, single-handedly taking on the entire Bayern defense!”

“He created a miracle!”

“Ye Chen is China’s ninth wonder!”

“Especially when facing Boateng, he actually faked Boateng to the ground!”

“This will be a moment etched in history!”

“Ye Chen used his feet to tell the whole world that Chinese people can play football too!”

“Ye Chen, the King of Chinese Football, is truly deserving!”

Huang Jianxiang’s voice spread through the microphone to thousands of households.

In an instant, the title “King of Chinese Football” for Ye Chen went viral…

Many raised objections, “He only played seven games in the Bundesliga, and you’re calling him the King of Chinese Football? Isn’t that too hasty?”

Someone retorted, “If Ye Chen can’t be called the King of Chinese Football, then who can?”

To be fair, there indeed was a legendary football king in China’s history, Li Huitang!

He scored a total of 1860 goals in his career, an incredibly terrifying efficiency! Moreover, in 1928, he was named “King of Asian Football” by the Asian Football Confederation. World Soccer Magazine organized a global football king selection event, and Li Huitang, along with Pelé from Brazil, Matthews from England, Di Stéfano from Argentina, and Puskás from Hungary, was named one of the “Five Great Football Kings of the World”!

This was a globally recognized football king!

With such a legend, how dare Ye Chen claim the title “King of Chinese Football”?

Ye Chen was immediately ridiculed by the masses.

Of course, many who didn’t even watch football joined in the criticism of Ye Chen!

…

In a villa in Barcelona, Roccuzzo was eating fruit and watching the game.

“Leo, come here quickly, this goal is amazing!”

Messi, who was jogging nearby, reluctantly got off the treadmill and looked at the big screen.

The big screen was replaying Ye Chen’s goal.

“Whoa, whoa!” Messi couldn’t help but exclaim, “Who is this guy? This goal is incredible!”

Roccuzzo smiled, “I told you a long time ago that the German National Derby is very exciting. This young man named Ye has already scored four!”

Messi’s face showed surprise, “Scoring four against Bayern? That’s an incredible achievement!”

“Do you have anything to say about this goal?”

Messi pinched his chin, hesitated, and then said, “He should have chipped it directly for the final shot, but his speed was very fast, he got past Neuer, otherwise it would have been very dangerous!”

“His preferred foot is his right foot, you know!”

“Really? But his left foot looks very skillful too!”

“That’s why I say he’s a genius. Even though I’ve only watched his first game, I’m already his fan, he’s truly amazing!” Roccuzzo couldn’t help but praise.

“Which country is he from? Japan? Or Korea?”

“Neither, he’s from China!”

“China?” Messi paused, “I remember China, they have the most passionate fans in the world, but their football…”

Halfway through his sentence, Messi reacted, “Wait, what did you just say? You’re his fan?”

“Yes, he plays well and he’s so handsome… he’s truly a great player!”

“What about me?”

It turned out Messi was jealous.

And so, a beautiful concert began in the Barcelona villa!

…

Clairefontaine, France.

“Hey, Kylian, it’s getting late, you should go to bed!” a middle-aged woman called out to a child who resembled a turtle.

“Mom, I’ll go to bed after the game!”

“Is this the German National Derby? Don’t you like watching the Spanish National Derby?”

“That was before. From now on, I declare that I’m a Dortmund fan!”

“Ah? Ronaldo will be disappointed by that!”

But the child shook his head, “I have a new idol now, it’s Ye! Oh, he’s really incredible, super speed, super shooting, he’s a superman on the field, capable of anything… Hey, Mom, do Chinese people all know Chinese kung fu? He must look super cool doing Chinese kung fu, right?”

The middle-aged woman looked at her excited son and shook her head helplessly, “Chinese kung fu is indeed great, but their football… I think liking Ronaldo is the right choice, after all, China is a country that can’t even participate in the World Cup!”

“No, I just like Ye! Mom, can you give me some money?”

“What’s wrong?”

“I want to buy Ye’s posters, I want to cover my room with his posters!”

“If you score as many goals as Ye in tomorrow’s training match at the Clairefontaine academy, I’ll give you money, otherwise Mom doesn’t have that much money!”

“You said it!” The child’s face lit up with a smile.

Tomorrow, he too would score goals like his new idol!

…

After the passionate celebration, Ye Chen returned to the field.

The referee then gave Badstuber a yellow card.

Because Badstuber had already received a yellow card for a sliding tackle on Lewandowski in the 53rd minute, two yellows meant a red, and he was sent off directly!

Lahm immediately came up to explain to the referee, but the referee’s attitude was very firm.

Of course, the referee blowing a home whistle wasn’t because he wanted to favor the home team, but because he was influenced by everything around him.

Like this yellow card, he could have completely pretended not to see it.

But Badstuber’s sliding tackle just now was very dangerous. Ye Chen only avoided it; if he hadn’t, it would have caused him huge damage!

Just two weeks ago, the Bundesliga committee held an emergency meeting, specifically to eliminate such malicious fouls in the Bundesliga. Unexpectedly, Badstuber knowingly committed one!

Not giving a direct red card was already being very lenient…

The game entered its final five minutes.

Both Dortmund and Bayern had ten players left on the field.

At 87 minutes and 24 seconds.

Heynckes on the sidelines excitedly waved his arms, “Push forward, don’t give them a chance to breathe!”

Gustavo, who was next to him, was panting heavily. “Boss, you’re not just not giving them a chance to breathe, you’re trying to kill us!”

But he still rushed forward and delivered a cross.

The ball was sent out, but whether it found anyone was left to chance.

Gomez and Petersen jumped simultaneously to contest the header, but the ball landed at the far post and went directly out of bounds.

Bayern fans sighed.

In the penalty area, Götze fell to the ground, clutching his thigh.

Ye Chen jogged over, “Cramp?”

Götze’s expression was very painful, and he nodded, “Can’t keep going, too tired!”

“You go forward, I’ll play as a full-back!” Ye Chen said while helping him stretch his leg.

“Can your stamina still keep up?” Götze asked worriedly.

“A few more minutes won’t be a problem!”

Ye Chen was panting heavily. Although he was very tired now, his mental strength still supported him!

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind: work until you can’t anymore!

However, it wasn’t just Götze who pushed himself to the limit; all the Dortmund players were panting heavily.

These last few minutes were completely sustained by sheer willpower…

“Give me the ball!” Ye Chen swapped positions with Götze and actively demanded the ball.

He controlled the ball at his feet, waiting for Lahm to come over.

As soon as Lahm ran over, he passed the ball to Götze.

Götze was too tired to run with the ball, but Ye Chen created space to receive it.

The two even played a one-two.

Lahm had to press again, but although Ye Chen wasn’t strong enough, he was tall, and by using his back to shield the ball, Lahm really couldn’t get it.

In frustration, Olić also ran over, but he was much more impatient.

He directly kicked Ye Chen’s foot, and Ye Chen, along with the ball, rolled out of bounds!
