Chapter 3080 Critical Situation! Dortmund May End Up with Nothing in the Top Four!
Half of 13 balls is 6.5 balls.
But as it turns out, things weren't that simple...
Because Dortmund did not field their full starting lineup this time, but instead used nearly half of their reserve players.
The first goal for both sides was scored in the 24th minute!
After failing to score several times, Ye Chen finally used his long-range shot guarantee card.
They broke the deadlock on the field!
A low shot from 25 meters out.
The football transformed into a cannonball and entered the goal.
Even when Dortmund took the lead, Union Berlin remained calm and unhurried.
They sounded the alarm after the last game ended.
Losing is acceptable.
But being nailed to the pillar of shame is unacceptable!
Dortmund's 13-0 victory over Werder Bremen in the previous match has already gone down in history, while Dortmund itself was the one who washed away the shame.
Many veteran fans were moved to tears.
A beautiful female Dortmund fan bursts into tears of joy~~
Although they are not bitter rivals with Borussia Mönchengladbach, it is still a derby, isn't it?
That 12-0 defeat was like a thorn, forever lodged in their hearts, causing them great pain.
But Ye Chen removed that thorn.
I felt incredibly good.
I thought this match would be another massacre.
But the score remained 1-0 until the end of the first half!
Seeing this score, Ye Chen frowned.
At this rate, when will I ever finish my mission?
No!
I need to speed things up!
46 minutes 05 seconds.
Ye Chen is starting to unleash his power!
Dortmund have a free kick opportunity in an area two meters from the penalty area line.
Ye Chen started with a short distance.
He immediately chopped the ball up with his right foot.
A graceful arc pierced the night sky.
The football resolutely darted into the tenth corner.
German goalkeeper Luth leaped into the air, flying out like a cheetah.
But Ye Chen scored a ten-point mark!
It's the extremely small area where the beam connects to the column...
"Shu~"
A clear and sweet voice sounded.
The moment the free kick went in!
The king of free kicks has finally unleashed his power!
If there's one, there's two, and then there's three.
But the third goal didn't come until the 86th minute.
Union Berlin launched a late attack, hoping to score a consolation goal.
But Zagadou intercepted the ball.
The ball was passed to Hazard on the left.
The latter will make a long pass to find Ye Chen on the front line.
But Union Berlin's center-backs are no pushovers either.
Friedrich, who is 193cm tall, clears the ball with a header.
But the ball bounced to the right.
Götze received the ball and advanced forward.
Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent landed, Ye Chen immediately moved forward.
Seizing the opportunity, Götze delivered a diagonal through ball, which landed precisely in Ye Chen's running path.
I glanced at the goalkeeper's position and then at the trajectory of the ball!
"Oh!"
No need to stop the ball!
He just pulled out his leg and shot!
There was a muffled sound.
The fans in the stadium gasped for breath.
next second.
"Shua~~~"
The clear and melodious sound rang out again.
The immense force kept the football stuck to the net for a full second before it finally fell to the ground due to gravity.
Ye Chen, who scored the goal, rushed to the sidelines and did a spinning jump.
"Siu~~~~"
Although it didn't reach half of the score in the previous game.
Only half of half.
But those three goals were really cool...
Of course, Union Berlin is no weak team after all.
At least it has an impact on European competition spots.
Dortmund ultimately defeated Union Berlin 3-0.
The person who was happiest after the match was none other than Onana.
He's been quietly making a fortune these past two weeks.
Before we knew it, we'd shut out the opponent in two consecutive matches...
It’s just a word: awesome, and he only said it once!
"So refreshing! So refreshing! So refreshing! So refreshing! So refreshing! So refreshing!"
After the 30th round of the league, April is already halfway over.
Ye Chen has already scored 170 goals this season!
We're one step closer to our goal.
However, as everyone knows, the real difficult decision is to choose between the next four matches.
On the 24th, they will play away against Wolfsburg.
On the 28th and the 5th of next month, they will play against Manchester City at home and away.
There's also a German Cup semi-final match against Kiel in between...
These four matches are scheduled very closely together.
After this match, they will be facing RB Leipzig, who are third in the league!
Another tough battle...
Many experts are analyzing this.
Given Dortmund's current squad depth, they might falter.
There was nothing they could do; Bayern were keeping a close eye on them.
While Dortmund secured two consecutive victories, Bayern Munich defeated Leverkusen 2-0, also achieving two wins.
They are still only 2 points behind Dortmund in terms of points.
This female fan is so cute!
With such a packed schedule ahead, Dortmund will be competing on three fronts, while Bayern will only be competing on one.
Under these circumstances, it would be normal for Dortmund to lose one or two championships!
But Ten Hag wanted to go all out and win all three championships in one go.
To be honest, after listening to Teng Hag's words, Ye Chen was also worried that he would end up with nothing.
But at present, none of the three championships are easy to win.
First, the Bundesliga champion.
There are four games left.
Compared to Bayern Munich, Dortmund's next four matches will see them face three teams that are ranked third, fourth, and fifth.
The third place naturally belongs to RB Leipzig, their opponent in round 32.
Fourth place is Wolfsburg, their opponent in the next round.
In the final round, the 34th round, their opponent is none other than Bayer Leverkusen.
In contrast, Bayern Munich's four opponents are Mainz, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Freiburg, and Augsburg.
Aside from the slight suspense in Borussia Mönchengladbach's match against Bayern Munich, which involved eating, sleeping, and playing, everything else felt very easy!
For a time, everyone was extremely optimistic about Bayern Munich.
Even some Dortmund fans are having second thoughts.
Number one in giving up~~~
"Gu Juan, who loves egg and bread slices: Maybe we should just give up on the Champions League and focus on winning the domestic double!"
"Bamboo Forest Melody@: I also think they should give up on the Champions League... mainly because this Dortmund team can't beat Manchester City!"
"Bright Sword 2021: This schedule is outrageous! So many strong teams! Heaven is dooming the Hornets!"
"Unharmed: I'm not afraid of anything! Let them go in upright and leave horizontal!"
"Young Master Qin Yang of Nanwei Beach: 亖亖亖亖亖亖亖! Go out sideways!!"
"..."
In fact, Ye Chen had made a prediction when he joined Dortmund.
Given Dortmund's current squad and strength, winning the Bundesliga would be about the best they can hope for.
If you insist on taking everything, you might end up losing the big picture for the small things.
Of course, the worst-case scenario is that all four elements are lost.
I remember Manchester City encountering a similar situation in my past life...
Wanting everything, in the end, you get nothing.
Now that this situation has befallen Dortmund, Ye Chen is also in a dilemma.
Ten Hag has been holding a series of meetings these past few days, bringing together several coaches and the captain and vice-captain to discuss the next steps in the strategy.
In the end, they reached a consensus.
First, focus all your efforts on the league. Regardless of how you perform in the Champions League, you must maintain your lead in the league.
Although Ten Hag also wanted to do both things well.
But this Dortmund team is certainly not qualified to compete on both fronts...
The last few league matches are all tough opponents.
With Manchester City, widely recognized as one of the top three football teams in the world, as their opponent, Dortmund is facing a crisis!
This time, let alone anyone else...
Even Ye Chen wasn't entirely unsure...
This is football.
Any outcome is possible until the game is over!
