Football: Reject the national football team, I will join the German national team

After the game, Ye Chen's status in Dortmund rose again.

Although he is still a little short of being the best player in the club, his status in the hearts of fans is undoubtedly unquestionable.

However, after the end of this league, the gap between Dortmund and Bayern did not widen.

The other teams, on the other hand, are having a hard time keeping up.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this year's Bundesliga will go to one of Dortmund and Bayern.

The others are just running along.

And right now, Bayern has a louder voice.

After all, they are only fighting on two fronts now.

Their previous upset elimination from the German Cup meant they would not be able to play in the German Cup.

1 month 19 day.

Dortmund faced Paderborn, a weak team in the German second division, at home.

Although this game was played at home, Ye Chen did not start.

Instead, he sat obediently on the bench.

Ten Hag didn't want to include him in the roster at first, but considering that Bayern had suffered a setback, he had to be on guard.

What if?

But this time they were not called the Three Little Ones of China.

After all, when you reach the German second division, physical confrontation and other things will come up.

If the three little guys are hurt, it will be more trouble than gain!

However, this game did have some twists and turns.

In the 6th minute, Delaney assisted Emre Can to open the scoring.

Then in the 16th minute, Mukoko assisted Götze and easily took a 2-0 lead.

The opponent's starting left winger Michel also left the field due to injury.

Just when everyone thought Dortmund had a 100% chance of advancing, in the 79th minute, Paderborn's substitute midfielder Justfan received an own goal assist from midfielder Delaney, and his shot deflected past Burki's goal.

Burki was helpless!

Paderborn's morale immediately boosted after scoring the goal, and they looked like they were going to create a miracle at the Westfalen Stadium.

But in the 81st minute, the Dortmund captain, wearing the No. 16 jersey, took to the field.

The originally aggressive Paderborn team suddenly became panic-stricken.

It was the opponent's central defender who stood up and told the players to keep calm and attack decisively.

In the 86th minute, Ye Chen made a stylish Cruyff turn to shake off the defender and scored with a long shot from outside the box.

The score was extended to Dortmund 3-1 Paderborn.

At the last moment, they were two ahead and Ye Chen was on the field. How could they equalize or even overtake under such circumstances?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

But the accident still happened.

In the 90th minute, Paderborn's long shot hit Zagadou's hand and the referee awarded a penalty.

Substitute striker Owusu scored a penalty kick, narrowing the score to 3-2!

But at the last moment, Ye Chen took the ball on his own initiative.

It's impossible for the other party to snatch it away.

Even two or three people couldn't snatch it away.

Ye Chen is not the type to stick to the ball. If the situation is not right, he will immediately split up.

In the end, Dortmund beat Paderborn 3-2 at home...

It’s just that the fans at the scene were not very satisfied with this performance.

The fans are dissatisfied!

"Today's game is like shit-flavored chocolate. I feel disgusted even if I eat it!"

"Are you going to skip the five-time champion scenario and go straight to the German Cup and get upset?"

"As expected, at the critical moment, we still have to rely on Ye Shen! If it weren't for him, I'm afraid we would be in trouble again today..."

"I was really scared at the end. All the teams were paving the way for Dortmund to win the German Cup. Don't tear down the bridge yourself!"

"I made it to the quarterfinals without any major problems..."

There were upsets in other matches!

Since Bayern was eliminated, the most popular teams are Dortmund, Red Bull and Leverkusen.

But who knew that Leverkusen would suffer an upset!

They challenged Red and White Eisen away...

Rot-Weiss Eisen currently plays in the German third division, and it is not a top team, but a mid-table team!

But in this game, the pharmaceutical company took its "bad luck" to the extreme.

Normally, hitting the post once or twice is already an exaggeration, but today Leverkusen directly broke the record.

Hit the post five times!

Neither side scored in the 90 minutes of the game, and the game entered overtime with a score of 0-0.

In the 104th minute of extra time, Leverkusen broke the deadlock first. The man named Bailey received a pass from Dragovic and pushed the ball into the goal.

Bailey almost became a hero again.

But in the 107th minute, the opponent's forward's shot was saved, and then Kevkil equalized with a follow-up shot.

Then at the 116th minute, Arango made a mistake in stopping the ball in the backcourt, the opponent's Harenbrook intercepted the ball and sent a fatal through pass, and Engelmann scored the winning goal against Leverkusen from a small angle.

Ye Chen happened to see this overtime when he was free.

Looking at the Aisen fans who were crying with joy at the end, Ye Chen couldn't help but think of Zhan Jun's commentary in his mind.

"How can you not love football?"

Many people said that this game was a fixed match, but as a player, he saw that the reason Leverkusen lost the game was because Essen played more aggressively in the end.

In fact, in overtime, strength is no longer the only criterion for determining victory or defeat!

Willpower helps Eisen break out of the siege!

The only thing I can say about this game is that the football is round.

Fortunately, RB Leipzig won.

For a while, there were only two stronger teams left in the German Cup!

That same evening, the draw results for the eight teams appeared on the Bundesliga official website.

Eisen drew Holstein.

A game where noobs fight each other.

Rb Leipzig drew Wolfsburg.

This is a strong confrontation, after all, Wolfsburg is now fourth in the league!

RB Leipzig is in third place, only three points behind Wolfsburg.

Werder Bremen was lucky enough to draw Regensburg!

Regensburg currently plays in the German third division.

So the last two teams were naturally paired up...

Borussia Mönchengladbach faces Dortmund at home!

Another Ruhr derby.

Everyone originally thought that after Dortmund defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach twice, there would be no future for Borussia Mönchengladbach.

But who knew that fate would bring them together.

Based on Borussia Mönchengladbach’s performance at home last time, Dortmund cannot guarantee a sure win.

However, their next match is scheduled for February 23rd.

By that time, the Chinese New Year had already passed, which was at least a month away from now.

As the German Cup comes to an end, the championship odds have also been updated.

Dortmund takes the lead with 2.3.

RB Leipzig came in second with 3.8.

Before we know it, the German Cup has become just like the Bundesliga, a two-person show.

Dortmund is a strong contender in both cup competitions!

But this situation has also caused concern among many fans.

You can't grab it with both hands, so just let go of both hands, right?

If Dortmund fails to win the German Cup and the Bundesliga at the end of this season, they will really be ridiculed!

After the draw, Morgenthau posted a ten-thousand-word article!

10,000-word analysis of Dortmund's current situation: three fronts fighting simultaneously? No! Warning of a three-front collapse!

In his words, if there are injuries in one or two positions in the next games, Dortmund will be in an irretrievable situation.

You know what, Ten Hag actually read the article carefully.

After reading it, he felt that what Morgenthau said made sense, so he immediately contacted the top management and hired two more physical therapists and a professional fitness coach.

It is necessary to monitor the players' physical condition at all times!

We would rather give up one or two games strategically than let the players fight to the point of fatigue.

You know, as February begins, the Champions League is coming!

On February 3, Dortmund traveled to England for the decisive battle at Stamford Bridge!
