Fight for four consecutive hat-tricks.

The Second Half Officially Begins

Dortmund's tactics hadn't changed much, but Ye Chen's eyes burned with a murderous aura.

He knew he was Dortmund's sharpest blade, which meant the opponent would target him.

But if being targeted meant he couldn't score, how would he face stronger enemies in the future?

This was a great opportunity to hone his skills!

"Dear viewers, welcome back to Sports Channel Five. I'm today's commentator, Huang Jianxiang, and beside me is my partner, Mr. Zhan Jun!" Huang Jianxiang had calmed down after the halftime break.

Zhan Jun smiled. "The first half was thrilling in the beginning, but later, Cologne parked the bus to slow down Dortmund's attacking rhythm. This kept Ye Chen's goal tally at two, but he still leads the top scorer chart with those two golden goals—one ahead of second-placed Huntelaar!"

Huang Jianxiang nodded. "The second half is about to begin. Can Ye Chen score another goal and complete his fourth hat-trick? Let's look forward to the rest of the match!"

"It really feels like a dream," Zhan Jun sighed. "A young Chinese player has now scored in four consecutive Bundesliga matches, with three hat-tricks already. It's unbelievable!"

In the history of Chinese players abroad, Dong Fangzhuo had the most goals in Europe, with 39, but in the top five leagues, the record belonged to Yang Chen with 16 goals.

After all, many of Dong Fangzhuo's goals came in the Belgian second division, where he even won the Golden Boot with 18 goals in a season.

But the Belgian league was far below the Bundesliga, let alone its second division.

Now, Dong Fangzhuo had returned to China due to injuries. If not for them, he could have continued playing in lower-tier European leagues.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen had already scored 11 goals in just four appearances, and the second half had only just begun. Everyone was eagerly anticipating another goal from him.

Four consecutive hat-tricks...

Ye Chen's name would be etched into Bundesliga history!

In fact, it already was. Since the Bundesliga's inception, no player had ever achieved three consecutive hat-tricks.

But now, Ye Chen was aiming for a fourth!

And with two goals already in the first half, he had a great chance to succeed!

At halftime, Cologne made some adjustments. A 2-0 score meant zero points, and with so many fans supporting them in the stadium, they had to fight for their honor.

At 53:24, Cologne's midfielder Lanig dribbled past the halfway line, initiating an attack.

However, Kehl and Sven Bender quickly closed in.

Lanig hurriedly passed the ball to Podolski up front, but defender Subotić intercepted it and played it to the right flank for Piszczek.

Piszczek took the ball and immediately passed it to Götze, launching Dortmund's counterattack.

Ye Chen, Kagawa, and Schmelzer surged forward decisively.

Götze dribbled forward rapidly. As Cologne's full-back Eichner approached to intercept, Götze played a diagonal pass to Ye Chen.

The moment Ye Chen received the ball, Kagawa made a sharp run into Cologne's penalty area.

Seeing such an incisive run, Ye Chen accelerated. As defender Sereno stepped in, Ye Chen delivered a perfectly timed through ball.

The pass was spot on.

Goalkeeper Rensing hesitated to come out, while Kagawa received the ball in an ideal position!

Without hesitation, Kagawa struck the ball cleanly.

The ball flew into the far corner, and Rensing could only slam the ground in frustration.

Furious, he sprang up and shouted at his teammates.

"How did you guys become professionals? Don't you even know how to block passing lanes?"

Rensing's rage was intense and intimidating.

But Portuguese center-back Sereno wasn't one to back down. He fired back, "If you're so good, why don't you save it? You just know how to shout, huh?"

Clearly, Cologne's relegation struggles this season had a reason.

A team that lacked unity could never achieve good results.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere at Signal Iduna Park erupted again.

The goal scorer, Kagawa, ran toward the South Stand with his arm around Ye Chen, celebrating with the fans.

The gesture made it clear—Ye Chen deserved half the credit for the goal.

In truth, Ye Chen had a narrow shooting angle himself when he received the ball, but Kagawa was in a much better position.

Taking a blind shot would have been selfish.

But Ye Chen was a player who loved teamwork and observed his teammates' movements—just like Benzema.

Still, his hat-trick mission wasn't complete yet. He had to keep pushing!

A hundred system points were equivalent to ten match victories… That was no small sum!

Most importantly, he had his eye on those "Predator" cleats from the system shop.

They not only enhanced player attributes but also had a cool design—just like him, stylish and dominant!

The match continued.

Cologne was collapsing, while Dortmund's attack flowed like a symphony.

Klopp made some changes, bringing on Kuba for Kagawa and switching to a 3-5-2 formation.

He also subbed in Gündoğan for Götze.

With both Kagawa and Götze off, Dortmund needed a playmaker, and Gündoğan was the only one on the bench fit for the job.

Soon after Gündoğan came on, Dortmund netted their fourth goal.

At 75:28, Ye Chen fired a powerful long-range shot with pinpoint accuracy.

Rensing, however, made an extraordinary save, tipping the ball over the crossbar.

Dortmund won a corner.

Gündoğan's corner kick found Hummels in the center of the box. The towering defender rose like a rocket, outjumping everyone, and powered a header past Rensing!

Dortmund's fans were in disbelief.

This match was pure joy!

Their last 4-0 victory had been in Round 11 of the previous season…

Now, Signal Iduna Park's South Stand lit up with yellow fireworks, turning the stadium into a sea of yellow!

But the match wasn't over. With added time, there were still about 20 minutes left.

Klopp instructed another midfielder, Moritz Leitner, to warm up, planning to sub Ye Chen off in the 80th minute.

This was a special gesture—allowing him to enjoy the standing ovation from the Dortmund faithful.

After all, a 17-year-old had played 80 minutes as a starter, scoring two goals and providing an assist. There was nothing more to prove.

But as play resumed, Ye Chen pressed high, relentlessly chasing the ball.

Klopp was stunned. The Dortmund fans were stunned…

What was Ye Chen doing?

Wasn't 4-0 enough?

Watching Ye Chen's tireless pressing, his words in the locker room echoed in his teammates' minds—

"Just watch. I'm getting a hat-trick today!"

Yes, he hadn't given up!

Seeing this, how could his teammates stand idly by?

"What are you waiting for? Get moving!" Captain Kehl roared, then sprinted forward.

Dortmund's championship last season had come from this very unity.

Now, in the final moments, they would give everything for Ye Chen's hat-trick!

Seeing his teammates charge forward, a smile crept onto Ye Chen's face.

Regardless of whether he completed the hat-trick, this was a match to remember for a lifetime!

But he knew scoring under tight marking was almost impossible.

It was like playing a mobile game—losing was fine, but the marksman had to die.

No matter how well you positioned yourself, if five opponents were dead set on killing you, stepping out of base was a death sentence!

Cologne's players had realized Dortmund's plan.

A fresh-legged Butchert took on the task of marking Ye Chen, while others subtly shifted their positioning toward him.

They didn't mind conceding more goals—just not to Ye Chen!

Everyone knew that "four consecutive hat-tricks" was a legendary feat.

They refused to be the backdrop for it.

This time, they were fighting for Cologne's honor!
