Ye Chen's Game-Winning Moment.
How Fast Is Ye Chen?
After the post-match measurement, his speed reached 32 km/h!
Kagawa followed Ye Chen's advice and kicked the ball into an open space while in possession.
On the left side, the opposing full-back had already pushed forward, and their left winger, Lowe, had also retreated to defend.
However, the ball's drop point was closer to Naldo!
But under everyone's astonished gaze, Ye Chen was rapidly closing the distance!
3 meters!2 meters!1 meter!
Ye Chen reached the ball first!
But Naldo was already there.
All he needed to do was block Ye Chen's position and wait for his teammates to provide defensive support.
However, before he could stabilize his stance, Ye Chen pushed the ball forward.
A straight push, covering three to four meters!
Naldo hurriedly turned around, trying to regain position and chase after the ball.
But Ye Chen sprinted off the field, completely bypassing Naldo!
They say the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
Naldo was fast, but under the stunned eyes of everyone, Ye Chen overtook him from the outside lane!
"This…"
"Oh my God… What am I seeing?"
"Unbelievable, Ye! Unbelievable speed!"
"He's the Bugatti Veyron of the football pitch!"
The excited commentator could barely form coherent sentences.
But Ye Chen had already passed the ball to himself three seconds into the future!
Taking possession, Naldo didn't give up the chase, but Ye Chen dribbled at high speed…
This was where dribbling skills became crucial.
Had his dribbling stat not reached 80, such a high-speed sprint would have likely resulted in losing control of the ball or failing to carry it forward smoothly.
That would have significantly impacted his dribbling speed.
But Ye Chen was effortless, striding into the penalty area.
Goalkeeper Melitz was on full alert, immediately rushing out to challenge him.
Of course, knowing Ye Chen had a signature chip shot, he specifically guarded against it.
But because he was wary, his charge was not decisive enough!
Ye Chen was already right in front of him!
Melitz lunged forward.
But at that moment, Ye Chen made a shooting motion.
Melitz reached out to block, but in that split second, Ye Chen pulled the ball to his left.
He bypassed the goalkeeper!
Faced with an open goal, Ye Chen did not hesitate—he struck the ball cleanly.
Just as the ball flew towards the net, Naldo desperately lunged in an attempt to clear it off the goal line!
But the ball crossed the line first.
Naldo slid into the goal along with the ball!
Seeing Naldo inside the net, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Good thing I didn't show off too much—one second slower, and he might have cleared it on the goal line!
For his hat trick, Ye Chen took off his jersey and held it high, standing in front of the Dortmund fans.
Underneath, his vest was revealed.
On the front, there was a big red heart.
To the left of it was the letter "I", and to the right was "Lina"!
Above the heart, there was a line of words: "Welcome to Dortmund!"
"Lina, this is my welcome gift for you!" Ye Chen looked towards the stands, but he couldn't spot Lina in the crowd.
But the broadcast director was sharp!
Within seconds, the big screen zoomed in on Lina's face!
At that moment, she was crying with joy, covering her mouth, overwhelmed with emotion!
"Ye!"
"Ye!"
"Ye!"
The stadium erupted with deafening cheers!
The Dortmund fans were in complete ecstasy.
Many fans even shed tears!
Countless spectators watching the match around the world fell in love with Ye Chen!
At that moment, Ye Chen was Dortmund's hero!
On the sidelines, Jürgen Klopp punched the air three times in excitement!
"One!""Two!""Three!"
With each punch, the fans behind him shouted in unison, raising the stadium atmosphere to its peak!
Just minutes earlier, Klopp had been scolding Ye Chen for fighting for a corner kick…
But after that goal, he shut up immediately.
And after this stunning goal, he went completely berserk!
This kid—he must start immediately! Right now! No debate!
A player of this level, not starting him would be a crime!
Meanwhile, Manchester United fans watching from home fell silent.
What had they just witnessed?
A blistering opening goal in the second half.
A header from a corner near the end of the match.
And then, finally, this electrifying solo goal!
Even the goalkeeper was beaten—Werder Bremen's last-minute all-out attack had backfired!
But could you really blame Naldo? Could you blame Melitz?
After all, they were just trying to win the game.
CCTV Sports Channel!
"No time left—Kagawa sends the ball forward!"
"Ye Chen! It's Ye Chen on the run!"
"But Naldo is closer to the ball!"
"He's too fast! Ye Chen is unbelievably fast! He reaches the ball first!"
"But both players slow down… Ye Chen suddenly nudges the ball forward—so sudden! He accelerates again!"
"Oh my—he's overtaken Naldo from the outside! Naldo can't keep up!"
"He's into the box!"
"He dribbles past the keeper—he shoots!"
"IT'S THE WINNER!"
"YE CHEN!"
"Can you believe it? This is football! How can you not love football?!" The commentator roared with passion!
"In the final minute, Dortmund has snatched victory from Werder Bremen!"
From the moment he took possession, he was completely focused.
Meanwhile, the usually talkative commentator Huang Jianxiang fell silent, becoming just a spectator.
Only after the play finished did he finally speak, his voice trembling:
"I can't believe it… This is a Chinese player! How can you not love a player like this?"
Ye Chen, in his celebration, was suddenly tackled to the ground, with teammates piling on top like a human pyramid.
It took half a minute for them to finally get up.
The referee blew the whistle—GOAL CONFIRMED!
Of course, Ye Chen received a yellow card for taking off his jersey in celebration!
Ye Chen put his shirt back on as Dortmund fans sang their team anthem, waving flags in celebration.
The match resumed, but Werder Bremen couldn't even push the ball past midfield.
Finally, the referee blew the full-time whistle.
"Congratulations to Dortmund for winning this epic battle!"
Before the match, who could have predicted such an intense showdown?
Werder Bremen had attacked ferociously, scoring three goals.
But Dortmund's Ye Chen single-handedly turned the game around, scoring a hat trick in dominant fashion!
Especially that final solo goal, already a top contender for Bundesliga's Goal of the Round!
Some fans had even uploaded the goal to FIFA's website, requesting it be considered for the FIFA Puskás Award!
And honestly, Ye Chen had many goals worthy of competing for that honor…
His 35-meter free kick was insane.
His midfield lob was outrageous.
And now, this goal—one more spectacular than the last!
But those were off-the-pitch discussions.
As the referee's final whistle blew, the match was over.
Dortmund climbed to third in the league, but they were still six points behind Bayern.
As the game ended, Ye Chen sat on the ground, exhaling deeply.
He had only played half a match, but he felt completely drained…
Exhausted. Absolutely exhausted.
