Chapter 2666: Champions League quarter-finals begins! Ronaldo returns to the Bernabeu!

Germany really cannot do without Ye Chen.

First, they lost 1-3 to Spain away from home.

Spain dominated the entire game.

The team was at a disadvantage in terms of both ball possession and number of shots.

"Spain crushes Germany. Germany without Ye is only second-rate!"

"Germany was brought to a height that did not belong to him by Ye!"

"Löw has run out of talent and should step down as soon as possible!"

"..."

In one game, the media that had originally praised Germany collectively turned against them.

He directly grabbed all the members of the German team and criticized them severely.

As the team leader, Ye Chen was also implicated.

But more of it is emotion.

Germany is not as strong as everyone thinks!

In fact, as a time traveler, Ye Chen knew the level of this German team.

In the group stage, we were placed in the same group as France and Portugal, so we only qualified by finishing second in the group.

Later, when we entered the knockout stage, we were assigned to England.

In the 2021 European Cup, England made it to the final, and the fans were clamoring for the ball to go home.

But even though they had a dream start, Italy was forced into overtime after drawing with their opponent.

In the final penalty shootout, Nanmen, as the head coach, replaced three guys who had not played much in the game to take the penalties.

So all the efforts were in vain.

However, the England women's football team performed quite well this year and won the European Cup ahead of schedule.

In fact, if Germany hadn't met England, it would have made it to the quarterfinals.

But its strength is definitely not top-notch.

It is his existence that has greatly enhanced Germany's strength.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that German cuisine is hopeless.

After all, the reason why Germany is so bad is that they lack a top striker.

In this life, Germany won two European Cups and two World Cups in a row only after it had the invincible Ye Chen.

Another point is that Germany’s current tactics are built around Ye Chen, and this friendly match was replaced by a reconnaissance plane.

Werner's guy only does reconnaissance and doesn't fire.

Naturally, they were no match for the evolved Spain.

However, what Ye Chen did not expect was that it was normal for Germany to not be able to beat Spain, but they actually could not beat Italy either.

Italy still uses its traditional style of play, defensive counterattack.

To be honest, if Ye Chen was in this game, it wouldn't be that difficult.

But unfortunately, Ye Chen is not here!

After missing several chances, Donnarumma not only proved himself but also made a key long pass.

In the end, Italy beat Germany 1-0 away from home.

Two friendly matches, lost directly.

This has caused countless German fans to worry.

"Hey, if Germany plays in this state in the European Cup, it will definitely be doomed!"

"Without Ye, will no one really score a goal?"

"I knew that Germany couldn't live without Ye!"

"Löw has really run out of ideas. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't have a chance in this European Cup!"

"We wanted to create an unprecedented three consecutive European Cup titles, but now it seems that there is no chance!"

"With this level of ability, you're still dreaming of winning the championship? You may not even make it to the semifinals, no, I'm not sure if you can even make it to the semifinals..."

"..."

The fans' concerns are palpable.

At this time, Love was watching the videos of these two games repeatedly.

The reason why Ye Chen was not summoned this time was actually to help the German team cool down.

There is a saying in football that the favorite must die.

Often the final champions are the teams that were previously inconspicuous and looked unremarkable, but fought their way to the end!

Löw is worried that the German team is too popular and has attracted the attention of some investors.

Don't think that football is clean.

When the interests involved are really big enough, capital will control various means to manipulate the game.

Let’s put it this way, there are often reports of key players suffering from food poisoning before big games.

Thinking hard!

Ye Chen also received the message from Löw and understood his thoughts.

So during this period of time, I ignored the rumors on the Internet.

Instead, he spends his whole life accompanying his wife and children.

Enjoy this rare rest time.

Don’t tell me, life is so comfortable when you have money.

Eat whatever you want and buy whatever you want.

Because there was still a lot of time left, Ye Chen brought his wife to the beach in Monaco to enjoy the sun and the sand.

Here, money really can do whatever you want.

Unfortunately, the vacation was short-lived.

The moment he returned to Paris, he knew that the real decisive battle was about to begin.

There aren't many games in April, only four.

But because of the national team match day, the schedule is quite tight.

One of them is the French Cup final, and the opponent is Saint-Etienne.

Not a tough opponent!

However, it is worth mentioning that the 33rd round make-up match happened to be held before the French Cup final, and the opponent was also Saint-Etienne!

That means they meet twice in one week!

On April 4, Paris will face Metz at home.

However, the Champions League quarter-finals will be held in three days.

So all of Paris Saint-Germain's main players are resting.

After all, Paris Saint-Germain had already won the French Ligue 1 title in advance, so Enrique chose to rotate players without any worries in this game.

But before the game started, Ye Chen took the initiative to find Enrique.

"Boss, I haven't practiced much in the past. Let me play half of this game to warm up my body!"

"It won't affect the game against AC Milan, right?" Enrique said with some concern.

Because of the FIFA virus, the players are in average condition.

Di Maria even sprained his ankle.

Although Thiago Silva has recovered, there are always people who get injured at this critical juncture.

Of course, for Enrique, everyone else can be injured.

Except Ye Chen.

This was the first time in all his years of coaching that he felt like he had a trump card in his hands.

As long as Ye Chen is in the lineup, the opponent must send a large number of players to assist him in defending.

This way other players will have enough opportunities.

This feeling is something I have never had before when coaching Messi.

Although Messi is already powerful enough, he is still less threatening than Ye Chen.

After all, Messi's height is a flaw.

Ye Chen is the kind of player who has both skills and height, as well as speed and height.

No shortcomings.

On April 4, Ye Chen led Paris Saint-Germain's substitute lineup to face Metz at home.

Thanks to Ye Chen's two goals in the first half, Paris Saint-Germain finally beat Metz 3-0.

Although the opponent was shutout, Areola was not happy.

Because - he didn't play in this game either.

At the end of the season, Enrique began to let some substitute players play.

After all, we can’t just let them get paid without doing any work!

With the end of this league, the exciting Champions League knockout round officially began.

In just two days, eight teams took to the field.

I have to say that UEFA's arrangement this time has indeed paid off well.

First, Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the Bernabeu on the 13th, and then Ye Chen returned to San Siro on the 14th.

The popularity these two days has reached its maximum!

Manchester United played away against Real Madrid.

Logically speaking, Real Madrid will definitely be able to defeat Manchester United with the home advantage of the Bernabeu.

But who knew that Manchester United defeated Real Madrid 2-1 with goals from Modric and Ronaldo!

Now everyone realized that today's Real Madrid is no longer the European overlord it once was.

In fact, this is also related to Ye Chen.

In his previous life, Real Madrid won the Champions League four times in five years, which was the period after Ye Chen traveled through time.

But the Champions League was completely snatched away by Ye Chen, so Real Madrid will naturally go from bad to worse.

Often times it's the same with people.

When you do one thing well and build momentum, you will be able to rise to the top and enjoy life.

However, what was even more shocking was the match between Bayern and Barcelona...
