Chapter 2561: The long-lost Champions League, I, Ye Chen, am back!!!

The German team is behind!

We lost the third goal of the night in a way that left everyone a little confused.

Schultz looked dejected at this moment.

In fact, everyone is holding their breath and thinking about proving themselves when they can represent the national team.

But some players are just limited in their abilities.

In competitive sports, getting angry is useless.

Of course, the reason for losing the ball this time was due to a problem of tacit understanding and a problem of ability.

How to deal with pressing is also one of the essential abilities of top players.

Sometimes when you are under pressure, washing the ball out and passing it to a more threatening position can easily break the game.

But if a mistake is made in a place like this, the opponent's top players will definitely seize the opportunity.

A fatal blow.

What can Ye Chen do as the captain?

I can only comfort the team members.

"Don't worry, brothers, let's score another goal!"

The game resumed soon.

But then the Dutch team started to act a bit rogue.

Start lying on the grass frequently.

That feels a bit like the final scene of Saudi Arabia playing against the Chinese national football team.

Once Ye Chen got the ball, they took turns to foul.

This made Ye Chen breathless and frowned.

The Dutch style of play is so shameless!

The fans at the scene were also complaining, and Coman on the sidelines immediately used substitutions to delay time.

Although there are only three substitutions available now, one substitution will waste one minute, and two substitutions will waste two minutes.

Well, there is one that was changed early.

There was no other way. DeJon, who had been defending Ye Chen, could no longer run. If he was not replaced, he would probably die of exhaustion on the court.

In the final moments, the German team still couldn't score.

Ye Chen was being watched by several people all the time.

Gnabry and Muller, who came on as substitutes, did not perform well either.

"Beep beep~ beep!"

Accompanied by a whistle.

The German team, playing at home, lost 2-3 to the Netherlands team!

"Germany lost, but Ye Shen did not lose!"

"Fuck, is this considered an upset? I remember the German team hasn't lost in a long time!"

"But the Netherlands is really strong this year. It's not surprising that they win the World Cup with this lineup!"

"Don't bother talking upstairs. Do you know what an uncrowned king is..."

"Kane quietly gave a thumbs up."

"..."

While netizens were discussing it heatedly.

Van Dijk was already bragging to Ye Chen, "Brother Chen, I finally beat you once!"

"Hey, I didn't lose to you guys, I lost to..." Ye Chen fell silent here, "I did lose, I hope I can meet you guys in the European Cup next time!"

Yet Van Dyke's head shook like a rattle.

"No, no, no, forget it!"

In fact, in a European Cup qualifier like this, it is likely that Germany and the Netherlands will qualify.

Even though Northern Ireland is now the leader of the group, isn’t that because Northern Ireland hasn’t met Germany yet?

and so……

Lets see!

Because the match between Germany and the Netherlands was the most watched match in this round of qualifiers, there were a lot of reports after the match!

"The German chariot collapsed! The Orange Army made history with a 3-2 comeback, and the Netherlands defeated Germany at home and ended the unbeaten myth!"

"Blitzkrieg vs. Reversal Storm: The German Giant Destroyed from Within!"

"Defensive black hole + coaching crisis: Where is the German tank heading? "

"Germany's defense exposes hidden dangers, Dutch morale boosted"

At the post-match press conference, head coaches from both teams were interviewed.

Germany coach Loew admitted after the game that the team's performance was below expectations: "The Netherlands showed stronger fighting spirit and control, and our defensive problems were exposed in the game... Yes, Ye's performance was as solid as ever, and I can't ask for more!"

"Leaving the head coach position? Sorry, I enjoy my work with the German team and I haven't heard that the Football Association wants to kick me out!"

Netherlands coach Koeman is confident of the team's reversal: "I asked the players to be patient during the halftime break, and our efforts paid off in the second half. This victory proves the team's potential... Well, the feeling of beating Germany will make us happy for a long time. After all, they are the strongest team in the world right now, no doubt about it!"

"But now we have defeated the world's number one, this is football!"

After this game, the Netherlands rose to third in the group with 6 points, while Germany ranked second with 9 points, 3 points behind the top Northern Ireland!

But the next game will be the battle for the top spot!

Logically speaking, the fans should be very angry because they lost the game.

But surprisingly, the comment section was full of congratulations to the Dutch team and consolation to the German team.

"Tulips never fade!"

"Poor Neuer, he was in such good form but got screwed three times!"

"Hummels is better than Sule even in a wheelchair! Come back, Hummels!!!"

"German fans, make way. Tonight is the time for us Dutch fans to celebrate! You've been there for us when times are dark, and we've been there for you when times are bright! Come on, Orange Army!!"

"Loew needs to make adjustments quickly, but this generation of the German team is indeed a bit lacking in talent. Sigh...Ye Shen's burden is heavy again!"

"Come on, German tanks! We still support you!"

In fact, for the fans, winning all the time is not a good thing.

It’s not that winning is bad, but losing can highlight the problems more.

Let me put it this way, do you hope to discover problems during the qualifiers, or wait until the European Cup starts?

If something goes wrong during the race, he could die suddenly in a matter of minutes.

Löw was also in a state of panic at this time.

In the end, he still felt that the central defender combination needed to be stabilized.

Two big guys, Ta and Hummels, cannot play together.

Rudiger can't play on the wing either.

Otherwise, no one in the middle will be able to use it.

call……

Ultimately, there is still no suitable left-back.

Sometimes it's just very uncomfortable.

Just like in such a big country like China, you can’t even gather eleven people who can play football.

Remember in the early morning of March 2025, 3, the Chinese national football team challenged Saudi Arabia away.

The good situation in the first round was overturned by the opponent. Now going to the away game, naturally the hope is to avenge the previous defeat and fight for a draw or victory.

But just when the two sides were evenly matched, Lin Liangming suddenly kicked the other person in the head.

When the head coach substituted Zhang Yuning in the second half, the team collapsed immediately...

You know, the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico will be expanded. If you don’t seize such a good opportunity, you will have to wait another four years for the next one!

After losing to the Netherlands, Loew didn't do much.

Instead, he called Schultz to his office and comforted him.

In fact, it’s okay to lose the ball, but you can’t give the ball to the opponent.

Provide education when it is necessary, and comfort when it is necessary.

Of course, unusable players should be replaced as soon as possible.

There is only one year left until the European Cup. I hope that one or two outstanding full-backs will emerge from the German players this year.

In fact, as the head coach, Löw knows that it is not just a problem with the full-backs, the defensive midfielder is also a big problem.

The role of the defensive midfielder can actually be seen from Manchester City.

Since Rodri joined Manchester City, they have not lost a game so far this season.

Manchester City has a menacing feel this season.

On the other hand, Manchester United did not make any major signings, and Ronaldo is one year older.

The strength is definitely not as good as last year.

After all, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to play in the Premier League at this age.

But nothing is settled yet.

Just like in the previous life, who could have thought that Leicester City could win the Premier League title?

After all, the odds of 1 to 5000 are not fake!

On September 2019, 9, the entire German team arrived in Northern Ireland to compete with them for the top spot.

Northern Ireland's previous record was very encouraging. They defeated Estonia and Belarus twice and won four games in four.

This made the fans very excited.

But when the starting lineups of both teams appeared, it was discovered that the German team did not even use all of its main players.

Ye Chen was placed on the bench and was chatting with Kroos.

Wang Chu started today and played as an attacking midfielder.

The forward line is Werner, with Brandt on the left and Gnabry on the right.

Halstenberg was also used as left back.

The lineup has even returned to the old 4231!

Before the game, Northern Ireland coach O'Neill used this incident to encourage his players, "They didn't even play the main players. They really look down on us. Let's play this game to our death!"

Can Northern Ireland, who are playing at home and are at the top of the table, defend their home ground?

Game start!

Gundogan, who started today, played with fire in the seventh minute.

It was directly intercepted by the opponent's Steven Davis!

After the ball changed hands, it was immediately passed to Washington!

Washington faced Neuer alone, and just when he wanted to repeat his old trick and get past Neuer like Depay.

Neuer fell to the ground at his limit and knocked the ball away!

However, the first controversial penalty of the game soon occurred.

Brandt, who started the game, took a long shot and the ball hit Evans' hand right on target!

This Evans is the former Manchester United star and is friends with Ye Chen.

But the referee Orsato did not blow the whistle.

Orsato is a famous Italian whistle.

Such a wrong decision and the fact that the team did not listen to VAR's advice immediately made countless German fans in front of the TV very angry.

What can be done is extremely limited.

The game continued and another controversial penalty occurred!

Forward Werner's low shot in the penalty area hit Evans' hand again!

VAR intervened immediately on this ball, but what was the result?

Orsato chose to ignore again!

Löw on the sidelines was furious and started to scold the fourth official.

The players on the bench were also very excited.

Ye Chen held them down, and when Lev came over, he took the initiative to say, "Boss, why don't you let me go up."

Loew hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head, "You should get some rest. We will play Real Madrid in the next two games, so don't get too tired!"

"All right!"

Ye Chen felt warm in his heart.

This old Deng is so sensible!

The first half ended with a score of 0-0.

Countless Happy Beans players were also angry!

"Damn, I bought it too early! If I had known Ye Chen wouldn't be starting, I wouldn't have bought Fu Fu!"

"Damn German team, they must have hidden the ball! Let's buy a special one to calm down!"

"If there is no shot in the first 45 minutes of the first half, there must be a goal at the start of the second half!"

"The one I killed was Fufu!"

"..."

Germany changed their style of play during the half-time break.

In the first half, Gunther, who started the game due to leg muscle discomfort, was also replaced by Tardelli.

The progress of this little black tower in the past two years is visible to the naked eye.

Of course, the person the tower is most grateful to is Ye Chen.

If he hadn’t done the extra training after the training games last season, his progress would definitely not have been so great!

After a simple adjustment, the effect was immediate.

In the 47th minute, Klostermann made an accurate pass from the right, Brandt headed the ball in the middle, and Halstenberg volleyed the ball from the back point into the dead corner, and Germany led 1-0!

This world-class goal was not only his first goal for the national team, but also ended Northern Ireland's record of 384 consecutive minutes without conceding a goal.

Northern Ireland has been really tough lately.

But the German team’s ace players didn’t even appear on the court, so they fell behind!

In the second half of the game, Northern Ireland launched a desperate counterattack.

In the 63rd minute, Dallas almost scored with a shot in the penalty area, but Neuer's performance was too steady.

At this moment, everyone knew why Neuer was still in the starting lineup even though Ye Chen was resting...

The goalkeeper's consumption is low!

In the 68th minute, Havertz, who had just come on the field, headed the ball and it hit the post!

Missed the opportunity to expand the score!

However, in the 90+2 minute, the German team launched a fatal counterattack!

Havertz, who came on as a substitute, passed the ball straight through the Northern Ireland defense, and Gnabry successfully made an offside move and shot into the goal from a small angle!

In the end, Northern Ireland lost to Germany 0-2.

Thanks to this game, the German team directly ranked first in Group C!

But this game was quite satisfactory.

Of course, the two controversial decisions in this game became hot news after the game.

It is really inappropriate for a top referee to make such a mistake even with VAR!

"Controversial penalty detonated the first half: Northern Ireland escaped the red card for two handballs"

"UEFA's evidence of suppressing Ye Chen +1!"

"Germany is still the same Germany after regaining the initiative to qualify"

……

The media is still the media.

The best at adapting to changing circumstances.

With the end of this national team match, the European Cup qualifiers also came to an end.

Ye Chen's performance in this national team match day can only be described as mediocre.

But everyone knows why.

Löw was deliberately giving Ye Chen some time to rest.

Because Paris Saint-Germain is about to usher in the first devilish schedule of the new season.

First, they will play Strasbourg at home on the 14th, then they will face Real Madrid at home on the 19th, and finally they will face the French Ligue 23 giants Lyon on the rd.

But this is not the end.

After the game on the 23rd, we will have two days of rest and immediately face Reims at home.

After the game on the 26th, we will challenge Bordeaux away on the 29th.

That is to say, they will play 5 games in the next half month.

An average of one show every three days!

After the league is over, we will face Inter Milan in the Champions League on the 1st of next month...

After playing against Inter Milan, he will play a league game on the 5th and then return to the national team to play in the European Cup qualifiers.

However, after playing two games against the Netherlands, the German team no longer has any strong teams!

At that time, whether Ye Chen wants to rest or improve his stats in the German team depends entirely on his own ideas.

After all, in the national team, Löw favors him the most!

Ye Chen also got the match schedule as soon as possible.

After reading it, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"No - who said the schedule of Ligue 1 is relaxed?"

In addition to the Premier League, it seems that the Ligue 1 schedule is also quite tight!

But that's okay.

With Paris Saint-Germain's current lineup, such a schedule is not complicated to deal with.

A flame started in Ye Chen's heart.

After a long absence from the Champions League, I, Ye Chen, am back!!!

Ps: Match predictions will be published in this chapter and will be refreshed around 8pm!
