Born to break records

Fati, Who Was Sent Off, Didn't Go Straight to the Locker Room but Sat at the Entrance of the Players' Tunnel, Watching the Live Broadcast.

If he were given another chance, he would still make the same choice.

After all, if Ye Chen had broken through at that moment, it would have been a two-on-one situation up front, and they could have conceded another goal.

More importantly, he would have become the backdrop for the goal, a moment of shame in his career.

So, he would rather commit a foul!

Because of this, Glasner did not blame him—fouling was indeed the best choice at that moment.

On the field, Ye Chen stood behind the ball.

He took a deep breath, his eyes locked on the distant goal.

To be honest, this distance was simply too far.

But did that mean it was impossible to score? No!

Back in the World Cup, Roberto Carlos once scored a 35-meter free kick against Team China.

Similarly, Ronaldinho had performed a similar feat, chipping the ball over England's legendary goalkeeper Seaman.

Ye Chen had no other tricks—he could only rely on raw power to create a miracle!

He carefully adjusted the ball's position, ensuring the valve was facing slightly downward in his direction.

That was the hardest spot on the ball—hitting it there would produce the highest speed!

The wall was already set, while Hummels, Subotić, and Pešič lurked at the far post.

Meanwhile, full-backs Križlović and Piszczek were positioned on the periphery, prepared to intercept any counterattacks.

The live commentator analyzed, "Dortmund wins a free kick from over 35 meters out at the 89th minute. But this distance is simply too far. Unless Ye Chen transforms into Carlos, it's nearly impossible to score directly! However, Götze has given Ye the chance to take the shot, suggesting he has solid passing skills."

"Alright, the referee has blown the whistle. Let's see how Ye handles this free kick!"

All eyes in the stadium focused on Ye Chen!

Ye Chen took a deep breath and glanced at the goalkeeper, Heinz Müller. His eyes turned sharp and determined.

At that moment, his only thought was: I want to complete a hat trick in my debut!

Why "also"?

Because in football history, there was once a beast of a player who scored a hat trick in his first game for Manchester United!

But that player cost United £27 million—a record-breaking transfer fee for a young player at the time.

Yet, the biggest difference now was… Ye Chen cost Dortmund absolutely nothing.

"Hoo…"

Ye Chen exhaled deeply and began his slow run-up.

In the next instant, he channeled all his strength into his right leg! With his foot locked straight, his leg swung like a whip and struck the lower part of the ball fiercely.

The ball shot into the air, but it moved unpredictably, swerving left and right like a rebellious child.

Mainz fans didn't take it seriously—it's too far! No way it's going in!

But Müller, standing in goal, was drenched in sweat—What's going on with this ball? Why is it moving so erratically?

Even the live commentator sighed, "He actually went for goal… Oh, what a pity! He struck it too—"

Before he could finish his sentence…

The ball, flying in midair, suddenly dipped sharply!

Müller frantically backpedaled, throwing himself into a desperate save…

The ball, swerving wildly, was impossible to track. But just as it reached the goal, it dropped like a stone!

Müller flailed at it, but the ball slipped past his outstretched hands and crashed into the net!

"What a… What a beauty!" The commentator choked on his words before exploding into a scream—

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!"

The crowd gasped, eyes widening in disbelief.

What had they just witnessed?

A miracle!

The ball had seemed destined to fly into the stands, yet it suddenly plummeted into the goal!

"What a goal!!"

The commentator could find no other words—just pure admiration.

Ye Chen, unable to contain himself, ripped off his jersey, revealing his chiseled muscles!

He turned toward the Dortmund fans and roared with all his might!

He had been holding back for too long—he needed to release his frustration.

Although he didn't actively follow online discussions, he had still heard the criticisms.

Not everyone had welcomed his arrival at Dortmund—after all, he was here to compete for playing time. The forwards, at the very least, would not be thrilled.

But so what?

He had quietly stored up his strength, and now, at this moment, he had completely unleashed it!

The Dortmund fans in the stands roared at the top of their lungs.

Millions of viewers watching at home leapt from their seats in excitement.

But the most ecstatic of all were the commentators, Huang Jianxiang and Xu Yang!

"It's in! It's in! It's in!!"

"This free kick… is simply unreal!"

"My God! How did he even kick this ball?" Huang Jianxiang turned to Xu Yang, hoping for an explanation.

Xu Yang hesitated, then answered, "This is what people call 'power creates miracles!' But that trajectory… especially the sudden drop near the goal… is almost impossible for a goalkeeper to stop!"

It wasn't Xu Yang's fault for struggling to explain.

After all, the term "knuckleball" was only officially coined by Gazzetta dello Sport in 2012, and Cristiano Ronaldo himself referred to his version as the "Tomahawk."

But none of that mattered now—

"Let's congratulate Ye Chen on becoming the only player in Bundesliga history to score a hat trick in his debut!" Huang Jianxiang exclaimed with excitement.

Ye Chen was born to break records!

Although his celebration was spectacular, showing off his impressive physique,

The referee, smiling, still handed him a yellow card as he passed by.

But for both the referee and the fans, this was a match worth remembering.

After all, such a free kick was not something you saw every day.

Of course, the only person who wished to forget this match was Fati.

He had already been sent off, but now, with this goal, he was forever doomed to be remembered as the man humiliated by history.

Sure enough, the big screen cut to Fati, who was still sitting at the tunnel entrance, refusing to return to the locker room.

The live director was truly a master at psychological warfare—a perfect "kill shot!"

Fati buried his head in his hands. If only he had let that kid go one-on-one instead…

Ugh, this is just too humiliating!

With the game nearing its end, the outcome was no longer in doubt.

Thanks to Ye Chen's hat trick, Dortmund came from behind to defeat Mainz 3-1 at home.

After the match, Ye Chen was, without question, named Man of the Match!

Official media conducted a brief interview with him.

"Congratulations on becoming the first player in Bundesliga history to score a hat trick on debut! You've rewritten history! Congratulations!"

A blonde, blue-eyed, stunning reporter beamed at him.

"Really?" Ye Chen looked surprised. "I'm really that awesome?"

Would the record-breaking system reward him with something extra?

He was looking forward to it…
