Chapter 3110 Nolan's Post-Match Interview: Keeping the Good Things in the Family!

Manchester United fans were slow to realize it.

Manchester United fans~~

Everyone knows that cup competitions are full of upsets.

In the finals, there were even more upsets!

Before Ye Chen transmigrated to this world, the Champions League final was full of upsets.

Let's not even mention Chelsea's 1-0 victory over Manchester City to win the title in the 2020-2021 season.

In the 93-94 season, Marseille reached the final, where their opponent was the dominant AC Milan. At that time, AC Milan, as the champion of Serie A, known as the "Little World Cup," had the Dutch "Three Musketeers" (Van Basten, Gullit, and Rijkaard) and was the biggest favorite to win the title!

But Marseille surprisingly defeated AC Milan 1-0.

Later in the 98-99 season, Manchester United reached the final and faced Bayern Munich, who were considered the favorites to win. Manchester United, on the other hand, experienced the crisis of "Ferguson's dismissal" at the beginning of the season. Although they later turned the situation around, their overall performance was still considered to be "barely advancing".

But then Manchester United pulled off a Camp Nou miracle, with Sheringham scoring in the 91st minute to equalize, and Solskjaer sealing the victory for Bayern in the 93rd minute.

Then there was the 3-3 draw between Liverpool and AC Milan in the 04-05 season, and so on!

Manchester United is clearly the stronger side now, and the media will definitely go to great lengths to promote them.

In that case, Dortmund can play a more passive and defensive approach...

Many Manchester United fans felt their backs were soaked with sweat.

There's a misconception that "raising a tiger will only cause trouble."

Of course, Dortmund's ability to reach the final had nothing to do with their support.

Ultimately, it all came down to Ye Chen's sudden burst of power.

In the two legs of the semi-final, Dortmund scored a total of six goals, five of which were scored by Ye Chen.

Especially the second leg in Manchester.

Ye Chen, the King of Manchester, displayed his immense power.

The midfield lob shot replicated Beckham's long-range goal.

The free kicks were clean and decisive.

The final counter-attack goal left a deep impression on countless fans.

Fans, fans~~

Manchester City, on the other hand, is a place where a diverse range of talents are flourishing.

The five goals came from Diaz, Foden, Jesus, Wang Chu, and Mahrez.

Diaz's header and Mahrez's free kick were particularly memorable.

Back to the scene.

As the brief celebration ended, Ye Chen hugged the dejected Wang Chu.

"Old Wang, come to Dortmund after the season ends. We'll be competing on multiple fronts next season, and we'll need your help!" Ye Chen said directly in Chinese.

Wang Chu hesitated for a moment. "Let me think about it... I received an invitation from Saudi Arabia, and they're offering quite a lot."

"I see... Well, it's up to you then. Going to Saudi Arabia is indeed a good option!" Ye Chen nodded.

Saudi Arabia has been poaching its allies in recent years.

But it wasn't until they brought Cristiano Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia in December 2022 that they truly made a name for themselves.

Of course, Ye Chen doesn't envy Ronaldo, after all, he earns a lot, but he's really tired.

Unlike Neymar—

According to statistics, Neymar only played seven games before being injured for a year, earning a total of 200 million euros.

With one goal and three assists in seven games, that's equivalent to 7.8 million RMB a year!

I envy neither the lovebirds nor the immortals, but I envy Neymar's every day...

It felt like even the air I breathed smelled of money.

The fans have been leaving the stadium one after another.

Ye Chen led the players to the away fans to express their gratitude.

However, when Ye Chen walked towards the passage, he was stopped by a familiar figure.

It's Leah Nolan, whom we haven't seen in a long time!

The weather in Manchester is pretty good, with temperatures around 15 degrees Celsius at night.

So Nolan wore a sports jacket, a white long skirt, and a beige turtleneck sweater underneath, revealing half of her slender neck at the neckline.

Dark blue straight-leg jeans hugged her shapely legs, and she wore clean white sneakers. There was no deliberate attempt at sophistication; instead, it exuded the competence and approachability unique to sports reporters.

Clutching a microphone with the TV station logo, she smiled broadly at Ye Chen, "Brother Chen, we meet again! Congratulations on winning the semi-final and advancing to the Champions League final!"

Looking at Nolan, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh again—a youthful face with huge breasts.

Her long, black hair was simply tied into a low ponytail, making her look just like the female lead in a Korean drama. Every smile and frown of hers was full of indescribable charm.

"Thank you!"

"You scored four goals in today's game and played exceptionally well, especially that powerful shot from a tight angle in stoppage time, it was truly spectacular! When you were one-on-one with Ederson, could you describe your first thought?"

"Actually, my thought at the time was very simple: I just wanted to win!" Ye Chen smiled faintly. "I've said before that I treat every game as if it were my last, so for me, this game was like a Champions League final in advance!"

"The game was tied at 2-2 at one point, but you took the lead again with a free kick. Can you recall your mindset at that moment?"

"Actually, I was thinking about the image of Mahrez scoring a free kick... Everyone knows that I am currently the player with the most free kicks in football, but Mahrez scored a free kick while I did not, so I was very dissatisfied... Fortunately, I also scored one, so it's not too embarrassing."

Upon hearing Ye Chen's answer, Nolan's face lit up with a smile.

I must say—that answer was actually pretty cringeworthy.

But that's just how Ye Chen is.

Although she is almost 30 years old, she gives off a very youthful vibe.

"You played in the defensive midfield position in this match. Can you tell me whose idea that was? Ten Hag made such a bold move. Did he prepare for the worst?"

"Actually, it was my suggestion... I'm a brick in Dortmund's wall, I'll be there wherever there's a problem! As for the result... to be honest, it was reasonable for us to lose, but to win would be an underdog victory, and obviously, the result is wonderful. I believe all Dortmund fans will be satisfied with today's result!"

"That round's opponent was Manchester United, your former club... Is there anything you'd like to say to the Manchester United fans?"

Manchester United fans~

"There's a saying, 'Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders.' Whether I lead Dortmund to victory or Manchester United wins, it's a good thing for me... Of course, we're weaker than Manchester United, so we need to be more comprehensively prepared if we want to win... I hope Manchester United will be lenient with us..."

Ye Chen paused for a moment at the end of his sentence.

Thinking about Manchester United's current squad...

Coach Ancelotti.

The midfield trio consists of Rice, Modric, and De Bruyne.

The forward line also includes Rashford, Ronaldo, and Salah, and oh yes, Grealish...

This lineup can only be described in four words—terrifying!

I accidentally created such an enemy for myself.

"The next opponent is Manchester United. According to the avoidance principle, Bellingham will be unable to play in the final. Which player will replace him?"

"Huh? Well... we can only listen to the boss!" Ye Chen finally realized...

Bellingham isn't in the final yet, how embarrassing!
