Football: The national football team was expelled and rewarded with a long-range goal card Chapter 137

Inside the player’s tunnel, Barrios grabbed Ye Chen.

“Ye, that goal just now was brilliant!”

“Thanks!” Ye Chen smiled.

“I want to ask you a question. Recently, a team from your hometown contacted me, wanting me to play for them. Do you have any advice?”

“My hometown? Guangzhou Evergrande?” Ye Chen knew about Barrios’ transfer to Evergrande, but he didn’t know why he left after only a short time.

On the other hand, players like Elkeson and Conca stayed with Evergrande for a long time, even bringing them the AFC Champions League title.

“Yes, yes, yes, they offered me double my current salary at Dortmund!” Barrios said seriously.

“That depends on your thoughts. If it’s for money, you can go without hesitation. After all, our Chinese league is still in its early stages, and the players’ strength is relatively weak. With your ability, you should be a king-level player in the CSL…” Ye Chen explained what he knew.

“Really? Then can I score three goals every game like you?” Barrios’ eyes lit up, and he said with a hint of excitement.

“That depends on whether you work hard or not. Scoring three goals every game might be too exaggerated, but an average of one goal per game should be no problem!”

Barrios gasped.

Lots of money, weak opponents.

He’d be a king just by going there.

This sounded really good!

Looking at Barrios’ reaction, Ye Chen reminded him, “I think you should consider what your pursuit is. After all, some people like to chase money, and some people like to move forward.”

Just like Mbappé and Tchouaméni.

“Okay, thank you for your advice. I will seriously consider it!”

To be honest, Ye Chen felt that Barrios’ strength going to the CSL was a waste, but if he really went, he would definitely be a nuclear weapon.

However, in his previous life, in 2011, Ye Chen didn’t watch the CSL at all, but later he occasionally watched the AFC Champions League.

There was no other way. In those few years when Evergrande was at its peak, the advertisements were overwhelming, but Barrios was no longer there… He probably regretted going to the CSL.

In the locker room, Klopp’s expression was stern.

“Lads, your tactical execution in the first half was excellent!”

This time, Klopp wasn’t scolding them; he was encouraging them!

The reason was simple: their pre-match tactical plan was to solidify their defense in the first half, try to steal a goal if they could, and concede as few goals as possible if they couldn’t.

After all, their physical fitness was indeed a big problem.

And Klopp’s real killer move was in the second half.

“Lucas, you’re resting in the second half. Kagawa, you’re on!” Klopp directly announced the second-half adjustments.

Hearing Klopp’s words, Barrios frowned.

You’re taking me off after only playing half a game?

You don’t even let me play in the Champions League… What exactly do you mean?

Of course, Barrios didn’t jump out to question Klopp at this moment, he just sat in his seat and sulked.

Damn it, I can’t stay at Dortmund anymore.

Even if I don’t go to the CSL, I have to transfer to another club.

Although Barrios was injured and his form had declined, as long as he played games to get familiar with the rhythm, he was confident he could regain his former form.

Klopp’s arrangement for Barrios completely disheartened him…

He even couldn’t wait to leave Dortmund in the winter transfer window!

The second half of the match resumed.

The original 4- 1- 2- 1- 2 formation changed to a 4- 4- 2, or even a 4- 2- 4!

Kagawa was placed on the left wing, playing as the attacking core on the left, while Götze was on the right.

As Kagawa came on and controlled the tempo, Dortmund became more proactive.

Both sides played back and forth.

In the 47th minute and 24th second, Kagawa, who had just come on, broke through on the left.

His footwork frequency was significantly faster than that of Grosskreutz, who had been substituted on, and he delivered a curved cross into the box.

Matip cleared the ball first, but it grazed the post and went out of bounds, almost resulting in an own goal.

This clearance directly startled the Schalke 04 fans.

In the 49th minute, Götze dribbled the ball down the wing.

Draxler, also 19 years old, couldn’t stop in time and tackled Götze to the ground.

Because it was a scissor tackle from behind and he didn’t pull his leg back, the referee immediately gave a severe penalty!

The referee directly showed a red card, sending Draxler off!

But Götze didn’t get up again and was carried off on a stretcher to an ambulance.

Klopp quickly substituted him with Grosskreutz.

Götze’s injury also angered the Dortmund players, and their actions gradually became more aggressive.

Hummels deliberately tackled someone in the 63rd minute and received a yellow card.

In the 65th minute, Papadopoulos also delivered a frontal flying tackle to Lewandowski, receiving a yellow card…

Captain Kehl received a yellow card in the 79th minute.

Throughout the second half, both sides’ actions became wild, and the referee’s whistle sounded frequently!

And Ye Chen was very anxious, because besides that goal, he didn’t have any good opportunities today.

Schalke 04’s defense against him was not a simple man-marking, but man-marking plus zonal marking.

In the 81st minute and 42nd second.

Ye Chen actively went to the left to cooperate with Kagawa.

As soon as the ball reached Ye Chen’s feet, Höwedes behind him closed in.

And Kagawa was in open space.

Ye Chen immediately passed the ball back to Kagawa, and Kagawa, in open space, directly used the inside of his foot to deliver a beautiful inswinging cross!

The tireless Lewandowski once again headed the ball.

This time, he didn’t let Kagawa’s cross down!

In the 82nd minute, Dortmund led 2- 1 at home!

But Ye Chen couldn’t be happy.

This Schalke 04 team was truly heartless.

They would rather let this season’s Bundesliga MVP Shinji Kagawa go free than stick tightly to him.

It was too much!

Did these people think he was Messi and Ronaldo?

Lewandowski’s celebration was also over, and everyone was walking towards the center circle.

But just as Ye Chen was feeling frustrated, the fourth official on the sidelines held up the substitution board.

“Dortmund has made a substitution here, number 16 is off, number 25 is on!” Mike immediately explained, “Our goal-scorer Ye has been replaced by Owomoyela!”

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, but still walked towards the sidelines.

Did he only score one goal in such an important derby match?

“Sigh…”

Ye Chen sighed.

“But Ye’s goal today was truly amazing. Let’s give Ye the warmest applause!”

“Ye!”

“Ye!”

“Ye!”

After celebrating the goal, many fans had already sat down.

But seeing Ye Chen leave the field, fans spontaneously stood up one by one and shouted Ye Chen’s name loudly along with the DJ!

They gave the warmest applause to Ye Chen, who scored the crucial goal for Dortmund today!

Today, Ye Chen was the hero of Borussia Dortmund!

Ye Chen’s steps froze as he left the field. He looked around and was momentarily stunned.

It turned out… the fans had already recognized his performance, and only he himself was dissatisfied with his performance!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face!

This must be what people often say: be strict with yourself and lenient with others, right?

Ye Chen raised his hands, returning the applause to the fans.

After high-fiving and hugging Owomoyela on the sidelines, Ye Chen finally walked off the field.

As Ye Chen left the field, his first Ruhr derby in his life came to an end.

He became the youngest starting player in the Ruhr derby and broke the record for the youngest goal-scorer in the Ruhr derby!

It has to be said that Ye Chen always unknowingly created his own history…

He was a player born to break records!

“Ye, you’re really amazing!” Owomoyela didn’t forget to praise Ye Chen as he came on.

“Ye, your performance today was truly great!” Klopp also smiled and patted Ye Chen’s butt.

Buvac gave him a thumbs up, “Ye, Good job!”

The substitute players also high-fived him one after another.

Yes.

Not just the fans.

Everyone thought he was great.

Perhaps only he himself was dissatisfied with scoring just one goal.

After all, in previous games, he had scored three or even five goals in each match, so suddenly scoring only one was indeed a huge drop…
