Chapter 3095 One step at a time, let's go for the German Cup semi-finals!!!

Just after Dortmund lost 2-3 to Manchester City.

A highly anticipated Manchester derby was also held at Old Trafford.

This is the first time since the inception of the Champions League that the two Manchester United teams have met in the knockout stage.

So everyone is curious about who will win this game!

But after 90 minutes of fierce fighting.

The match ended in a draw, with Manchester United and Liverpool tied 1-1!

Jota scored the first goal for Liverpool, and Mane was the one who initiated it...

Manchester United equalized in the 29th minute.

De Bruyne in midfield makes an assist to Salah on the right wing!

Seeing this result, Ronaldo was criticized to an unprecedented degree after the match.

After all, Ye Chen gets criticized even for scoring a single goal.

If Ronaldo doesn't have an assist or a goal, shouldn't he be criticized relentlessly?

To be honest, in this situation, players with weak mental fortitude would really develop mental problems when faced with this overwhelming barrage of negative information.

However, both Messi and Ronaldo began to realize that something was wrong.

There's a saying: When gods fight, mortals suffer.

In the face of capital, both Ronaldo and Messi are merely pawns...

Of course, Ye Chen is different.

His wealth has qualified him to play chess and become a player.

But Ye Chen is someone who hates trouble.

During his time as a player, he only did one thing – play football well, and leave the rest to Lina!

Because Dortmund lost their Champions League match, many fans are even starting to worry whether the semi-final will also be affected.

This fan looks good~

Even Ten Hag wasn't very calm at the pre-match press conference.

"Making it to the semifinals shows that Kiel's strength should not be underestimated! We are not entirely confident!"

"Don't forget, Kiel eliminated Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich back then. That performance alone is enough to make me pay close attention..."

"Yes, we will take it seriously... As for the Manchester City match, we'll have to consider that after that game!"

"Ye will start...that's for sure!"

“I also want him to rest, but Ye says he doesn’t need to rest… I respect Ye’s decision!”

Only Ye Chen himself knows his desire for the championship.

Bayern Munich were previously eliminated by Kiel on penalties.

To avoid this situation, Ye Chen felt he should at least play half the game...

Once the situation stabilizes, then you can go and rest comfortably.

Ten Hag did not object.

Ultimately, he and Ye Chen are the same kind of people.

He also knew that things would be much more stable with Ye Chen around.

Furthermore, Ten Hag also felt that against Kiel, Ye Chen only needed to play half the game for them to advance!

5 month 1 day.

International Labor Day.

Domestic cattle and horses were given three days of rest.

So even though the match was held at 2:30 a.m. in China, there were still quite a few people watching.

In the past, CCTV was unwilling to broadcast such events live.

However, because of Ye Chen's return, all matches with Dortmund will be broadcast live first.

However, before their match, another semi-final was held ahead of schedule.

RB Leipzig will face Werder Bremen away from home.

Despite Werder Bremen's recent 13-0 defeat to Dortmund, they played with great determination against RB Leipzig.

What's the saying?

Ye Chen scored our goal, we have nothing to say.

But you're not Ye Chen, so why should you score against us?

With this belief in mind, the two sides played for a full 90 minutes and the score remained 0-0!

Considering that the odds for this match to end in a 0-goal deficit were 13 before the game... it's clear that this is a minor upset.

However, after entering extra time, Werder Bremen's physical condition deteriorated!

South Korean substitute Hwang Hee-chan scored the first goal.

However, Werder Bremen fought back to equalize in the first half of extra time.

The goal was scored by German player Bittencourt, whose unstoppable curling shot breached the goal guarded by Gulacsi.

But Hwang Hee-chan stepped up his game again during stoppage time in overtime.

This time it wasn't a goal, but an assist.

He directly assisted the team's core player, Forsberg, who scored the winning goal.

Ultimately, RB Leipzig secured a 2-1 victory in extra time, becoming the first team to advance to the German Cup final!

Seeing this result, countless RB Leipzig fans have begun to pray!

Leipzig fans~~

"I've been a Kiel fan for 30 years, and I'll be cheering for Kiel in the next game!"

"Please, Kiel, give us another upset!"

"If the final were RB Leipzig vs. Kiel, I wouldn't touch a woman for thirty days!"

"..."

History only remembers the victors.

For RB Leipzig fans, it doesn't matter whether they beat Kiel or Dortmund in the final, as long as they win the championship!

But will Dortmund let them have their way?

The date is set for May 1st!

Westfalenstadion has returned to its 8-seat capacity for matches.

Although they lost the last game, the fans don't blame the players.

Especially after the game ended, all the players lay on the ground, panting heavily...

That's proof of giving it your all and being completely exhausted!

For fans, it's like being able to beat them, but still losing.

It can make people feel very stifled.

But if you're truly outmatched, then you can only admit defeat!

After the first leg of the semi-final, fans felt that it was wishful thinking for Dortmund to beat Manchester City, unless...

Unless Ye Chen activates his immortal mode!

But the fans also accepted a reality after the last game.

With Guardiola's deliberate targeting, it would be difficult for Ye Chen to perform well even if he wanted to.

Two fists can't beat four hands!

"Beep!"

8:30 PM local time!

The match between Dortmund and Kiel at Dortmund's home ground has officially begun.

The starting lineup was led by Ye Chen, with the rest being substitutes.

They didn't even use Onana in goal, but instead started Bürki!

However, Emre Can still got a starting opportunity – after all, he was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards and would not be able to play in the next Champions League semi-final.

Kiel's fans are still praying for a miracle.

Kiel fans, their faces full of prayer.

But as the game began, that thought quickly disappeared...

At the beginning, Kiel's tactics were the same as against Bayern Munich: to turt and defend.

Dortmund's determination is very strong today.

8 minutes 46 seconds.

Nuno Mendes on the left passed the ball to Reina in the attacking midfield position.

Reina immediately launched a long pass, finding Götze on the right flank.

Götze quickly got going and took control of the ball first.

But the opposing left-back had already pounced on him.

Götze accelerated to the baseline, feigned a pass, but suddenly slammed the ball in when the opponent couldn't stop.

"Boom!"
