Chapter 3028 Sun Jihai: I favor Chelsea!

Blue and yellow collide in various corners around the stadium.

Sometimes fans would mock each other, and sometimes they would hug and laugh together.

It's contradictory yet reasonable.

The mockery stems from the competitive spirit on both sides.

The reason they chatted and laughed was because they shared a favorite player.

Ye Chen unwittingly became a bridge between the fans of the two teams.

Police officers were on standby at the scene, prepared for any potential dangers.

Perhaps because this match was so important, even the air was thick with tension.

Even the hot dog vendors on the street couldn't help but glance frequently towards the stadium, their hands moving a little faster.

everything's ready!

After listening to the tactical instructions from both head coaches, the players from both sides gradually left the locker room and went to the player tunnel.

The players clearly knew the opponent's roster in advance!

It was another reunion of old friends.

Ye Chen also took the initiative to chat with a few friends.

Regardless, they are still true friends off the field!

"CCTV! CCTV!"

"Welcome everyone to tune in for the second leg of the 2020-2021 season's Round of 16!"

"The two teams facing off are Borussia Dortmund, the Bundesliga leaders, and Chelsea, currently fourth in the Premier League!"

"I am your host for today, He Wei!"

"Today, we have invited a former Manchester City legend, Coach Sun!"

Sun Jihai smiled warmly and said, "Hello everyone, I am Sun Jihai!"

While Sun Jihai may not be the most successful player to play abroad, his inclusion in the Manchester City Hall of Fame is something few can achieve.

Sun Jihai was officially inducted into the National Football Museum Hall of Fame at a ceremony held at the National Football Museum in Manchester on October 23, 2015.

This honor, awarded by the museum, is intended to recognize players and professionals who have made outstanding contributions to the development of English football!

He played for Manchester City from 2002 to 2008, making 130 appearances in the Premier League and scoring 3 goals. He was the first Chinese player to score in the Premier League!

The goal came very early, on October 26, 2002, in a match against Birmingham...

Even Ye Chen cannot break this record.

After all, his first Premier League appearance was in 2012...

His first Premier League goal dates back to August 12, 2012, against Manchester City!

However, that match was the Community Shield.

Ye Chen, who was new to Chelsea, scored three goals in eight seconds and also provided an assist.

It remains unforgettable to this day.

Everything that happens in the world of football leaves a trace.

Even if the person involved has forgotten, many fans will not forget!

As He Wei provided commentary, both teams entered the field.

The roar of the fans almost lifted the roof off.

A beautiful female fan went to watch the game!

The die-hard fans in the south stand were already lined up in neat rows. The giant yellow and black TIFO slowly unfolded, with the team's iconic slogan printed on it. Accompanied by the "thump-thump" of drums, the entire stadium sang in unison, making everyone's eardrums vibrate.

Ye Chen was also immediately drawn to the giant TIFO...

This is a picture of Ye Chen holding a spear in his left hand and the Dortmund shield in his right.

Three championship trophies were strung on the spear.

These are the Chamer Trophy, representing the German Cup champion; the salad plate, representing the German league champion; and the Champions League trophy, representing the Champions League champion!

Below that was a line in German: 【Mit Ye Cheng werden wir alles gewinnen.】

[Translation: With Ye here, we will win everything!]

Why are these guys even engaging in this personality cult?

A great man once said: The cult of personality is unacceptable.

Do not over-glorify or blindly obey.

We still need to look at the issue dialectically.

No matter how strong Ye Chen is, he could still be defeated when facing a powerful and united opponent.

We still need to take the group approach.

One person being strong is not truly strong; no matter how strong one is, one is still just a sheep.

A strong team is true strength; when united, they are a pack of wolves!

However, amidst the cheers of the fans, the resounding Champions League theme song began to play.

Isn't this little bear cute?

"Barcelona, beat Barcelona, beat Bayern Munich, our team is finished~~~"

Every time Ye Chen hears this song, he observes a few minutes of silence for Arsenal.

Arsenal have never won the Champions League.

Whether in a parallel world or in their previous life, their closest chance to win the Champions League was in the 05-06 season.

Unfortunately, Arsenal lost 1-2 to Barcelona...

This was also a lifelong pain for Professor Wenger.

"Chelsea are unbeaten in 13 games so far, winning 10 of them and drawing only three!"

"They defeated strong teams like Liverpool and Tottenham, and even Manchester United couldn't take three points from them!"

"Meanwhile, Dortmund's winning streak has just been broken by Bayern!"

"Given that the key players have been fighting tooth and nail in the last two matches, this is indeed a considerable challenge for Dortmund right now!"

"Of course, Chelsea's two consecutive away games have also taken a toll on the players' physical condition."

"However, considering that Chelsea fielded a completely reserve team in the last match, and even though it ended in a draw, Lampard didn't field his first-team players to fight tooth and nail against the opponent, which shows their determination for this game!"

Sun Jihai nodded, "Chelsea's goal this season is very clear: to win the Champions League! In addition, they have reached the FA Cup semi-finals, where they will face my former club Manchester City in the next round!"

"Chelsea's form this year is really good!" He Wei couldn't help but exclaim.

"Alright, let's take a look at the starting lineups for both sides!"

The camera has now switched to the scene inside the stadium.

The official announcement also introduced the lineups of both sides.

A halftime break has begun.

The first to appear was Dortmund's goalkeeper, Onana, who was very dark-skinned but had a bright smile!

Despite conceding six goals in the last match, Onana was not substituted.

Ten Hag also spoke with Onana for a long time, urging him to improve his save techniques...

I didn't dare say anything harsh at this time.

Then came the four defenders.

"The four defenders are Guerreiro, Hummels, Akanji, and Mazraoui!"

"The midfield three are Delaney, Bellingham and Reina."
