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

After the draw ended, the internet was flooded with comments about the results.

Of course, Ye Chen couldn't escape the media's on-site interviews after the lottery draw.

"After AC Milan, Manchester United and Sevilla withdrew, I thought I wouldn't have to face my old clubs anymore."

"But when Paris Saint-Germain appeared, I was completely stunned..."

"PSG is the reigning Champions League champion. After strengthening their squad this season, they are far ahead in the league and are also incredibly strong in the Champions League."

"They are among the top teams in the world of football today."

"However, Dortmund's ability to reach the quarterfinals has already proven themselves..."

"So now I only have one goal, and that is to make it to the semifinals!"

"PSG is strong, but we are not weak either!"

Ye Chen's answer was standard, but it did not boost the morale of others or diminish his own.

As Ye Chen said, Dortmund's ability to reach the quarterfinals demonstrates that they are not weak.

Many people just thought Ye Chen was putting on a brave face.

"The Eagle by the Thunder River: Smiling on the outside, cursing under his breath! Ye Shen must be cursing UEFA to the core!"

"Bonus chapters keep coming! : I have to say, this year's episodes are generating tons of buzz!"

"Floating Life, I Don't Understand: AC Milan and Liverpool are evenly matched, and given their rivalry in Istanbul, their rematch is sure to be a clash of titans!"

"Gamada: I'm still looking forward to Guardiola returning to the Allianz Arena..."

"Kuchin, who likes drumsticks: Am I the only one who wants to see Manchester United play Sevilla? Ronaldo is Sevilla's nemesis, but Sevilla has won all three of their previous encounters with Manchester United..."

During his time at Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 27 goals against Sevilla (25 in La Liga and 2 in the Super Cup), averaging over 1.5 goals per game in 18 matches against them. He also completed one four-goal haul and four hat-tricks, making them the team against which he has scored the most goals in his career!

"Liu Fugui, who loves fish-flavored eggplant: Back then, Sevilla only won because Ye Chen was there. Now, Sevilla no longer has Ye Chen, while Manchester United has Ronaldo. It's a shift in fortune! I'm optimistic about Manchester United!"

"Qin Yang, the young master of Nanwei Beach: GOGOGO! Buy Manchester United, make a fortune!"

"..."

Ye Chen quickly put the fans' heated discussion to the back of his mind.

Life is too bitter, have a lollipop to sweeten it up~

After all, he could leave the troublesome things to Ten Hag; what he needed to do was adjust his mindset and prepare for his next opponent—Cologne.

Cologne's situation is similar to that of Hertha Berlin, whom they faced in the previous match.

They are currently ranked 14th in the league, just one point away from the relegation zone.

Given the current situation in the relegation zone, Schalke 04 has played 25 games and won only one, so relegation is practically a certainty.

However, Mainz and Hertha Berlin both have 21 points, ranking 16th and 17th respectively.

Cologne and Bielefeld both have 22 points. Cologne is ranked 14th because they have a better goal difference than Bielefeld by 4!

Especially at this stage, we absolutely cannot afford to concede too many goals.

Because every goal can potentially determine a team's final ranking.

Having learned from Hertha Berlin's experience in the last match, now almost all the lower-ranked teams are thinking of defending their positions to the death!

That way, even if we lose, it won't be too embarrassing.

However, some fans recently compiled a list of Ye Chen's goal tallies.

137 goals scored this season...

137 goals seems like a lot.

However, by the 25th round of last season, his total number of goals had reached 142.

Five fewer goals than last season!

While their goal-scoring efficiency appears similar, the Bundesliga, where Dortmund plays, is generally considered to have a more balanced squad than the Ligue 1.

But Ligue 1 has 4 more rounds than the Bundesliga!

At the beginning of the season, Ye Chen accepted the task of scoring 200 goals in a single season...

With nine league matches remaining, plus one German Cup match and two Champions League matches, there are only 12 matches left.

If we can reach the Champions League final, we can reach the German Cup final.

There are 15 games left in total.

But he needs to score 63 goals in these 15 games, which is an average of 4.2 goals per game!

is it possible?

Reaching the German Cup final isn't difficult, but is reaching the Champions League final guaranteed?

Even if he can score, can he average four goals per game in the Champions League?

Keep in mind that the opponents are getting stronger and stronger...

Seeing these data, even Ye Chen began to doubt himself.

It's not that he doesn't want to score; on the contrary, he gives his all in every game.

However, Bundesliga teams are indeed stronger and more balanced than Ligue 1 teams.

Most importantly, Ligue 1 teams make money by boosting player stats, so they mainly focus on attacking the game.

The Bundesliga, however, is different.

They pursue a balance between offense and defense, love confrontation, and love pressing.

In addition, Dortmund's overall strength is not as good as PSG's, so they naturally receive less support.

Ye Chen's goal tally naturally dropped.

But it's impossible to get Ye Chen to give up his goal-scoring target of 200 goals...

He is the kind of person who never gives up easily.

Fortunately, Bayern Munich is no longer among their upcoming opponents, and the only teams that can be considered strong are Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig.

In that case——

The crazy scoring spree started at Bayer Leverkusen!

On the calendar beside his bed, Ye Chen wrote a string of numbers on March 13th: 0/63!

This dish isn't exactly easy to beat.

After all, now all the weak teams have Hertha Berlin as an example; even if they concede a goal, they don't attack relentlessly.

Even if they lose, it will be a minor defeat, which is not a big deal for mid-to-lower-tier teams.

On March 13, Borussia Dortmund's team bus appeared in the away team parking lot at the RheinEnergieStadion.

The RheinEnergieStadion is located in North Rhine-Westphalia, so some fans jokingly call it the "Rhine Derby" or the "Western Derby".

Anyone like this kind of thing?

But in reality, Cologne's only true rival is Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Dortmund's only real rival is Schalke 04!

However, both teams are traditionally strong, and every time they meet, it's a clash of titans.

Cologne hasn't been doing so well in recent years.

In their last six head-to-head encounters, Dortmund have won five and drawn one, including a 6-0 thrashing of Cologne in their last match under Ye Chen's leadership!

The last time Cologne defeated Dortmund was on December 19, 2015.

Sokratis Papastathopoulos scored a header in the first half, but Zoller equalized in the 82nd minute of the second half.

In the 90th minute, Modeste scored again, completing a classic comeback victory.

The fans at RheinEnergieStadion are known for their fervor, with the home team's cheers being incredibly loud and often accompanied by taunts and mockery of Dortmund fans after a victory.

But now the tables have turned, and Dortmund is completely dominating Cologne.

"CCTV! CCTV!"

Amid He Wei's impassioned voice, players from both sides emerged from the player tunnel one after another.

The camera focused on the captains of both teams: Jonas Hector of Cologne and Ye Chen of Dortmund.

Hector has been with Cologne for 11 years since joining the reserve team in 2010.

He was frequently called up to the national team in the past.

However, Löw prefers to play him at left-back, but he plays as a defensive midfielder at Cologne.

But if he plays in midfield, can he withstand Ye Chen's attacks?

As Ye Chen stepped onto the court, a system notification sounded in his mind!

"Ding……"

P.S.: 3 out of 5 yesterday – an absurdly low number of goals scored!
