Chapter 3103 Ye Chen's Original Appearance!
A single goal plunged the Al-Ittihad Stadium into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared intently as Ten Hag charged toward the coaching bench!
Ten Hag has already opened his arms.
Ye Chen jumped directly onto him!
The relationship between coaches and players is very delicate.
While Ten Hag's tactical skills may not be as good as many top coaches, his self-confidence is on par with that of Klopp and Löw.
And most importantly, Ten Hag listened to advice!
Ye Chen suggested that he play defensive midfield, and he agreed without hesitation.
With the head coach's full approval and the tactical integration, Ye Chen, the defensive midfielder, was able to perform well in this match.
Of course, the previous matches have also proven that Ye Chen has the ability to play as a defensive midfielder.
When he stood in the middle, he immediately gave people the impression of being an invincible force!
Looking at the score, Sun Jihai's expression stiffened.
The plot unfolded much as he had anticipated, but the score was completely unexpected!
"That Ye Chen, he can score goals even while playing as a defensive midfielder, damn it!"
Sun Jihai's stance remains firm.
As a Manchester City legend, he certainly wouldn't support Ye Chen at this point...
Play soon resumed.
Manchester City's attacking momentum became even more intense.
They shifted their main attacking position to the right flank.
Mahrez made various breakthroughs against Guerreiro, including Walker overlapping on the wing, putting a lot of pressure on the flanks.
However, Ten Hag reacted immediately, ordering Hazard Jr. and Brandt to drop back to the left flank to defend.
Ye Chen remained in the center.
No matter what, the top of the penalty area should not be easily ceded to Manchester City.
There's no way around it, Manchester City just has too many players who can shoot from long range!
36 minutes 28 seconds.
Rodri receives the ball in the middle.
Seeing Reus rushing towards him, Rodri made a direct pass to Gundogan, who had dropped back to receive the pass in midfield.
Gundogan turned and passed the ball to Foden on the left.
Mazrawi grabbed Foden's arm directly, preventing him from starting easily.
However, Foden, who had the ball, shook off Mazraoui and passed the ball across the box.
They found Wang Chu on the front line.
He immediately accelerated toward the baseline, while simultaneously shaking off Mazrawi.
However, Wang Chu, who had the ball, made a feint and then moved the ball to his left.
He wanted to dodge Ye Chen behind him!
These two are brothers off the court, but rivals on the court.
Ye Chen saw through Wang Chu's movements and immediately poked the ball.
He then launched a counter-attack with the ball in an instant.
This immediately put Manchester City on edge.
Rodri immediately intercepted Ye Chen at his location.
Meanwhile, Dortmund's two wingers quickly took off!
Ye Chen didn't rush to pass the ball until the two were getting closer and closer.
Then he looked at Reus on the left and Hazard in the distance.
But his toes pushed the ball to the right.
This is a feint with the eyes.
Meanwhile, Sancho on the right accelerated instantly, desperately trying to catch up with the ball!
If Dortmund's Guerreiro is a bit lacking in defense, then Manchester City's Zinchenko is their Achilles' heel.
Sancho received the ball without slowing down and charged into the penalty area.
Ederson made a decisive run towards the goal.
But after glancing at his position, Sancho didn't hesitate.
"Boom!"
Push with the outside of your left foot.
The ball darted between Ederson and Diaz, who had dropped back.
At the far end, Little Hazard flung his body out of the air.
He pointed his toes, wanting to tackle the ball into the goal...
However, a scene that left Dortmund fans in despair occurred.
Fans are here! Anyone like this pure and simple style?
The ball—wasn't touched!
"Sancho passes the ball to Hazard at the far post!"
"What a pity about that goal!"
"If Hazard's feet were just a little bit longer, that ball would have gone in!" He Wei said with some regret.
Sun Jihai, standing nearby, wore a look of lingering fear. "Dortmund's tactical arrangement today was really good. Although Ye Chen couldn't directly threaten the goal, it was his crucial interception that led to this counter-attack... especially this pass, which was very imaginative!"
At this point, everyone accepted Ten Hag's tactical adjustments.
Placing Ye Chen in the lower back position was almost a stroke of genius!
In fact, Ye Chen, as the person involved, knew that if it weren't for his "long-range shot guaranteed goal" card, it would have been very difficult to score a goal tonight.
But this is Manchester City, the real demon king this year!
The game continues!
The ball was passed quickly and seamlessly by the Manchester City players.
The entire city of Manchester has become a high-speed machine.
Dortmund's players, due to fatigue, began to struggle to keep up with the pace.
Ye Chen knew that Manchester City had sped up their pace.
In recent years, Manchester City, under Guardiola's leadership, has completely dominated the Premier League.
Their rhythm changes are something many top clubs cannot resist.
Dortmund needs to be 120% focused if they want to avoid conceding a goal.
39 minutes 50 seconds.
Walker made a through pass on the right flank to Mahrez in the attacking third.
Mahrez received the ball and cut inside at high speed.
He shook off Guerrero and unleashed a curling shot.
The football grazed the post and went out of bounds...
But his smooth dribbling and accurate shooting still gave Dortmund fans a real scare.
Dortmund's Japanese fans~
At this moment, Dortmund fans feel like each day is an eternity.
There was nothing they could do; they intensified their attack, and Dortmund's defense was notoriously weak... This made them feel like they could concede a goal at any moment.
The rear guard was on high alert.
The fans felt like they had a thorn in their side!
41 minutes 45 seconds.
Onana made a direct pass to Ye Chen in the middle.
In the past, he would always kick the ball directly to Ye Chen, but now Ye Chen has retreated to the defensive midfield position.
He immediately strengthened his connection with him!
Ye Chen, who had the ball, faced Rodri's interception once again.
However, this time Ye Chen did not rush to pass the ball, but instead made an extremely realistic shoulder drop feint.
He bypassed Rodri with lightning speed.
However, Rhodes, who had been beaten, did not give up and immediately chased back.
Fernandinho, who was trailing behind, immediately pounced on Ye Chen—
This put Ye Chen in a predicament where he had to choose between two men!
But this time, Ye Chen decisively pushed the ball to the left.
The ball was immediately passed to Reus on the front line!
He immediately cut past Fernandinho.
Like a sword with its sharp edge fully revealed!
Although he was willing to step back to the back for the sake of the team's defense.
However, he was a warmonger at heart.
His blood is scalding hot!
At this moment, his courage and determination are his true self.
Reus had just received the ball when he saw Stones charging towards him...
As he sensed him getting closer, Reus barely had time to think.
"Boom!"
A poke of the toes.
The football immediately flew between Stones' legs.
At this moment, Ye Chen had just broken into the restricted area!
Diaz saw Ye Chen break into the penalty area and seize a favorable position.
They immediately engaged in physical confrontation!
"Boom!"
Top-tier defenders possess top-tier physical strength!
However, Ye Chen's eyes were fixed on Edson, who had launched a swift attack...
My brain is working at lightning speed!
He exerted his strength and first confronted Diaz.
The next second, he flicked the ball to the left with the toe of his left foot.
Using the force of the impact, his body immediately shifted to the left.
The ball immediately flew into the open area on the left side of the penalty area, and Ederson, realizing something was wrong, fell to the ground, trying to intercept the ball.
In fact, Edson's body also blocked Ye Chen's movement space...
At the critical moment.
Ye Chen jumped up!
Edson dodged...
"Sigh~~~"
A collective gasp filled the air!
Many timid Manchester City fans have already closed their eyes.
My back was covered in cold sweat...
P.S.: Only one Chelsea game today~ nothing interesting~
Considering Cardiff's food is too poor, let's go straight to 02/03~
