Chapter 3128 Teng Hag racked his brains, but Ye Chen still wasn't satisfied!
"Beep~"
With the referee's whistle, the game officially begins!
As Ye Chen had predicted, Mainz, despite playing at home, did not have any intention of launching a full-scale attack.
Instead, they retreated very deep.
They've adopted a posture that invites you to attack.
For a full ten minutes, Dortmund failed to break through their goal.
On the contrary, Mainz, who had been defending, had an opportunity in the 14th minute.
Mainz got a counter-attack opportunity, and when Glatzel on the front line didn't have a good chance, he simply took a long shot.
That was a pretty good shot.
Onana made a diving save in front of the goal.
Onana smiled broadly as he blocked the ball out of bounds.
Today he knows he doesn't have many chances to perform.
Now that the other party has given him a chance to shine, he naturally wants to make the most of it.
Otherwise, it wouldn't feel right to receive the winning bonus.
But Onana's smile quickly faded.
14 minutes 42 seconds.
Mainz has a corner kick opportunity.
The ball was delivered to the center, and the 191cm tall French center-back Niakate leaped high and headed the ball into the goal!
Niakate is a player born in 96 and holds dual Senegalese and French citizenship.
He was initially selected for the French youth team, but due to the abundance of talent in the senior team, he ultimately chose to play for Senegal...
Onana stopped laughing as he watched the football bouncing inside the goal.
It's truly a case of "when fellow villagers meet, they stab each other in the back."
Although Onana is from Cameroon and Niakate is from Senegal, aren't they both from Africa?
The ball was like a bomb, igniting the passion of the crowd.
Small courts have their advantages.
The atmosphere was indeed very nice.
Mainz fans were clearly surprised and delighted that their team was taking the lead.
Is it sweet?
Everyone immediately beamed with joy.
But they didn't notice that Ye Chen was unhappy.
At this moment, Ye Chen had only one thought—he was unhappy and wanted to kill someone.
Murder is illegal.
So he... wanted to score!
He was getting increasingly thirsty!
15 minutes 24 seconds.
Ye Chen acted as a pivot in the middle and passed the ball to Hazard on the left.
Hazard crossed the ball again after reaching the byline.
But the ball was cleared by Alexander-Hack, giving Dortmund a corner kick opportunity.
Reina took the corner kick in midfield.
This little guy has learned a lot from Ye Chen recently, and he's quite good at corner kicks.
"Beep~"
The football instantly transformed into a cannonball and flew towards the near post.
However, the ball was cleared before it even reached the penalty area.
Nuno Mendes controlled the ball on the perimeter, and both teams immediately withdrew from the penalty area.
However, Mendes has already adjusted his posture.
"Boom!"
The football traced a beautiful arc in the air, flying towards the near post of the penalty area.
Ye Chen, who was originally retreating, suddenly changed direction again and accelerated.
He leaped high into the air!
Standing next to him was Alexander Haak, who was taller than him.
This guy is a full 193cm tall!
However, winning headers requires more than just height.
Anticipation, jumping ability, strength.
Indispensable!
In addition, Nuno Mendes was looking for Ye Chen on this ball—
"boom!"
It was a header, but the power was astonishing.
Under the astonished gaze of more than 30,000 people at the scene.
Ye Chen touched the football before Hack.
Immediately—
The football flew to the right like a cannonball!
The gate in front of the door quickly collapsed to the ground.
But he couldn't touch the ball.
"Shu~"
A clear and pleasant sound rang out!
The vast stadium fell into a brief silence.
No one will blame Damen for this goal.
After all, Ye Chen's header was amazing!
Ye Chen, who scored the goal, rushed to the sidelines and slid down to his knees.
Three clear marks were drawn on the ground.
Many female fans instinctively squeezed their thighs together upon seeing this.
Well.
Another day of envying Lina...
Both sides are back to square one.
Ye Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.
He wasn't afraid of Mainz scoring, but he was afraid that Dortmund wouldn't score.
Scoring goals isn't just about skill; you also need a bit of luck.
Like this ball.
Although the ball was cleared, it landed right near Mendes.
In addition, this little guy has a pretty good passing ability, which led to this goal...
Now that I've opened my scoring account, I won't hold back.
After scoring, Ten Hag made a gesture to indicate that everyone shouldn't be too anxious.
If Mainz launches another counter-attack, it would be quite demoralizing.
Of course, this is Mainz's home ground after all.
If they don't even have the courage to attack after gaining possession of the ball, the fans in the stadium will be angry.
Does anyone like this one?
So Ten Hag is waiting, waiting for them to attack!
18 minutes 11 seconds.
Brosinski on the right is trying to break past Mazrawi.
However, the ball went past, but Mazrawi blocked the position.
"Boom!"
A clean and decisive steal.
The ball was passed to Akanji next to him.
Akanji pushed forward on his own.
Suddenly, he saw Götze on his right.
"Boom!"
The football immediately and accurately flew to the right side.
However, Götze, who had the ball, didn't even look at the attacking third.
Almost the instant he received the ball, he took a small step forward.
The next second—
"Boom!"
The football suddenly soared into the sky.
This teamwork is amazing!
In the attacking third, a yellow figure shot out like lightning...
Left center-back Niakate was outmaneuvered by Ye Chen.
The ball landed perfectly on the edge of the penalty area!
Ye Chen could easily have unleashed a powerful volley.
But that would be too wasteful of skills!
He pushed the ball into the penalty area with his right foot.
His eyes were fixed on Damen in front of the door...
While the opponent hesitated, Ye Chen swung his right foot and unleashed a powerful shot.
"Boom!"
The football instantly transformed into a cannonball and flew towards the bottom left corner.
Damen's brain instantly shut down.
Should we use a side dive or extend our legs?
As he extended his right foot, a crisp "whoosh" sounded behind him!
"Goooooooooal!!!"
"The Mustang duo is unleashing their power once again!"
"Mario Götze made a long pass to Ye Chen, who controlled the ball and shot in one smooth motion!"
"Dortmund have taken the lead!"
"It only took 4 minutes to go from being behind to taking the lead!"
Ten Hag clenched his fist on the sidelines.
He wasn't afraid of Mainz scoring...
People are complex.
Once you get one, you'll realize Dortmund isn't so bad after all.
In addition, Dortmund's poor defense is notorious in the Bundesliga.
So they thought they were capable.
As long as they dare to push outwards, the weaknesses in their defense will become apparent.
However, at this moment, Ten Hag looked at Götze with a thoughtful expression on his face—
Götze has been playing better and better lately.
Especially the tacit understanding between him and Ye Chen.
If Ye Chen plays as a striker and Götze plays as a right winger in the final.
Is that a possible approach?
Sancho can play as a left winger, while Reus will move to the center.
Bellingham's position was given to Brandt to play...
Is this feasible?
You know what, this might actually be a good choice!
