Chapter 3014: Dortmund advances to the German Cup semi-finals, but their form is worrying!

The Spanish players, who had been dominating the game, lost their composure.

Playing at home, a draw would actually be quite good.

But facing Ye Chen at full power, they truly felt powerless.

And this is Seville.

A city conquered by Ye Chen!

When Ye Chen scored the free kick, he excitedly rushed to the sidelines.

The Sevilla fans in the stands hesitated for a moment, but soon a sparse round of applause broke out.

Immediately...

Large numbers of fans stood up from their seats and began to applaud!

Suddenly, there was thunderous applause!

All the fans were impressed by Ye Chen today.

Of course, he was originally the King of Seville!

The reason why fans didn't applaud him before was because of their different stances.

But by this point, Spain had no hope of advancing to the next round, so... there was nothing to worry about!

The game isn't over yet!

There is one minute of added time remaining.

But the German team isn't one that can be easily overwhelmed.

In particular, the Spanish players have already given up.

At 97 minutes and 56 seconds, the opposing midfielder Fabian Ruiz unleashed a shot that was caught by Ye Chen in front of the goal.

The referee looked at Ye Chen, who was lying on the ground and not in a hurry to get up, and finally blew the whistle to end the game!

“Beep beep~beep~~~”

"The match is over!"

"After six hard-fought matches, Germany edged out Spain to become the fourth team to advance from Group A!"

"They will compete against Italy in the semifinals for a place in the final!"

"Let's congratulate the German team, Ye Chen, and Wang Chu!"

"Their outstanding performance earned the respect of the fans in the stadium!"

I really love this!

After the match ended, Ye Chen received the match ball.

However, Ramos took his jersey...

Ye Chen was used to this.

Ramos is also a top European defender, so collecting one of his match-worn jerseys is definitely worthwhile!

After the match, Ye Chen thanked the fans who were present.

Both Spanish and German fans should express their gratitude after the match.

After all, Ye Chen once poured his sweat here, helping Sevilla win every championship they could!

That was a wonderful memory...

Goal Frenzy! Spain 4-5 Germany, goalkeeper Ye Chen scores the winning goal with a free kick!

"What?! A goalkeeper can score a game-winning goal? Neuer leaves the field, and the goalkeeper-like Ye Chen stuns everyone!"

Shocking! The most complete player in history has been born! The striker can score goals, and the goalkeeper can make saves...

Record-Breaking Battle! The UEFA Nations League's highest-scoring single match has been set!

"..."

The match set numerous records.

However, with the national team's matches over, the players quickly returned to their own teams!

After all, the league is in full swing.

I don't know why, but time always seems to fly by in the second half of the season.

Perhaps it's because everyone's goals are clearer and they have more motivation.

After all, after each match, it felt like we were one step closer to the championship.

Dortmund's next opponent is Bielefeld.

As the third-to-last team in the league, it's unrealistic for them to want to play against Dortmund away from home.

However, Dortmund did not field their full-strength squad upon returning to the league.

Instead, they rotated half of their main players for rest.

Even so, Dortmund still easily defeated their opponents 4-0.

Ye Chen opened the scoring for the team in the 8th minute.

But the opponent defended very firmly, and the score remained 1-0 until the end of the first half!

Just when everyone was lamenting the poor form of Dortmund's players, Götze on the right flank started his cut inside.

The ball was passed to Dahoud in the middle.

Dahoud curled the ball into the net without stopping it, making it 2-0!

Immediately afterwards, Götze broke into the penalty area and was kicked in the instep by the opponent.

The referee immediately awarded a penalty, which Ye Chen converted.

They continued to extend their lead.

However, by the 70th minute, Ten Hag substituted five key players in succession.

Thorgan Hazard has returned to the court after recovering from injury.

In the 80th minute, Moukoko assisted substitute Jesus to score the fourth goal of the match.

Onana, who started the game, once again earned the bonus for a shutout!

Of course, the reason for the rotation is that there is a quarter-final match between Germany and Borussia Mönchengladbach in the middle of the week.

After playing Borussia Mönchengladbach, they will immediately face Bayern Munich away this weekend!

not only that.

After playing Bayern Munich, they will immediately host Chelsea at home.

So we have to play three games in the next week, two of which are away games, and the opponents are top European teams, Bayern Munich and Chelsea.

Everyone knows that Bayern Munich is currently the only team in the Bundesliga that can rival Dortmund.

Bayern Munich's unexpected exit from the German Cup means they only need to compete on two fronts.

Bayern Munich, having already secured a lead in European competitions in the first leg, faces less pressure in the Champions League.

Without a doubt, Bayern Munich, having rested and ready, will focus more of their energy on the league!

But coincidentally, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund are also Ruhr derbies.

The German Cup wasn't particularly attractive to Dortmund.

But ironically, the strong teams all fell short.

There are very few teams that can pose a threat to Dortmund...

This is why Ten Hag rotated his key players after the international break.

First, let the key players rest.

Secondly, they should put up a strong fight against Borussia Mönchengladbach and advance to the German Cup semi-finals!

Of course, Ten Hag had already considered giving up on facing Bayern Munich head-on...

When the time comes, we'll hold out at Allianz.

It would be good if they could hold on to a draw, but if they can't, given Dortmund's current lead, it's not a big deal.

That's the benefit of not having lost before!

On the contrary, Bayern Munich faltered, forcing them to focus all their attention on the league.

With the option to make mistakes, Ten Hag is more composed in his tactical deployment!

February 23rd, just three days after the match against Bielefeld on the 20th.

Dortmund fans waiting to watch the game~

It's still an away game.

Another derby rivalry.

Therefore, Dortmund fielded their strongest lineup!

Just as Ten Hag said in the pre-match press conference, "We are only focused on the upcoming match. The German Cup is a place where miracles happen, and many small teams have already created their own miracles, so we will definitely go all out in this match!"

"Borussia Mönchengladbach is a team with a long history, and their strength and heritage should not be underestimated. We will not hold back for the Bayern Munich match, but will go all out!"

Dortmund immediately deployed a 4-3-3 formation!

Goalkeeper Onana.

The four defenders are Nuno Mendes, Hummels, Akanji, and Mateu Morey.

The midfield trio consists of Bellingham, Delaney, and Reina.

The three forwards are Reus, Ye Chen, and Sancho.

With this formation, we have no fear not only against Borussia Mönchengladbach, but also against Bayern Munich.

But who would have thought that with this lineup, they would only win by one goal against Borussia Mönchengladbach, who were playing at home...

After 90 minutes of intense battle, apart from Ye Chen's long-range shot that broke the deadlock in the 18th minute, Dortmund scored two more goals in the remaining time.

However, they were all cancelled.

One was offside, and the other was offside too...

After the match, Ten Hag's expression was not happy at all; instead, he looked very serious.

"In this form, let alone Bayern Munich and Chelsea, they can't even beat slightly stronger Bundesliga teams..."
