Chapter 166: Chapter 166: What's It Called When You Score Five Goals in Five Minutes?

Football: The Rebirth of the Football Journey - Volume 1Words: 5714

Klopp discovered a little secret.

When you want Ye Chen to score, just send the players to warm up!

Like last time—when Ye Chen saw the substitution, he stopped celebrating and ran straight to the bench...

Since he already scored four goals, why not make it five?

He set the fastest record for scoring four goals in football history.

Why not set the fastest record for five goals while he's at it?

Who knows when such an opportunity will come again?

Besides, Christmas is around the corner.

Wouldn't this historical record be the best gift for the fans?

Isn't this the best present Dortmund could offer their supporters?

Go, Ye!

The match continued.

Ratajczak took the goal kick.

But Langnick, who received the ball, looked like a startled mouse—he only passed it to Asani on the right wing after making sure no one was around.

Asani dribbled down the sideline.

Kuba rushed to intercept him from the left wing.

Every Dortmund player is expected to press high. Naturally, Kuba, who isn't the best defender, was easily passed by Asani.

Normally, such a slick move would get the crowd cheering.

But this time, the fans sat silently in their seats.

It seemed nothing but a goal could ignite their passion...

Even after passing Kuba, Asani didn't hurry to cross but waited to attract another defender.

Kryslowi stepped up.

But just as Kryslowi went in, Asani passed the ball down the sideline to Rösler ahead.

Rösler pulled wide, and Kehl immediately stepped in to cover.

Dortmund's defense isn't man-marking but zonal.

Whenever Kryslowi pressed forward, someone filled his spot.

Otherwise, if one area got penetrated, the entire Dortmund defense would collapse instantly.

Facing Kehl, Rösler didn't even dare to try dribbling past him.

He flicked the ball back to Asani with a heel pass.

But the ball rolled out for a goal kick...

"Boo..."

The nearby fans couldn't hold it in and started booing their own players!

With such a rare attacking chance, what were they doing?

How could they expect to score against Dortmund with such sloppy play?

Are you kidding?

Did they think Dortmund was like those weaker Bundesliga 2 teams?

Challenging the Bundesliga champions with this level of play?

Before Dortmund fans could complain, Düsseldorf supporters were already losing their patience!

Kryslowi threw the ball to Gündoğan, who came forward to receive it.

Gündoğan carried the ball forward—five seconds passed, and no one came to intercept him.

He advanced straight into the final third.

Annoyed, Gündoğan decided to take a long shot...

Ratajczak, the goalkeeper, didn't let the ball stay in the box this time—he dove to his side and parried it out for a corner!

Where were the defenders?

They were all focused on Ye Chen!

Since Ye Chen had already scored four goals, the players were keeping a close watch on him.

The defensive intensity locked down both Fink and Bodzek, along with Ye Chen.

It was like a "Three Musketeers" moment, always together.

Ye Chen didn't rush. He lingered near the center circle, waiting to see if the defenders would retreat.

Gündoğan prepared to take the corner, prompting Ye Chen to slowly jog towards the top of the box.

"Beep!"

The referee blew the whistle. Ye Chen suddenly accelerated towards the penalty area!

It startled two defenders, who immediately shifted their bodies to block him.

But Ye Chen suddenly switched directions and darted to the left side of the D!

At that moment, Gündoğan's cross came flying in.

It was a half-volley with serious pace!

Honestly, it was a tough ball to strike.

But Ye Chen had only one thought—if I control the ball, I lose!

Ye Chen's dominant foot was his right, but the ball's position forced him to use his left!

Whatever!

"Guaranteed Long-Range Goal! Go!"

"Bang!"

Ye Chen took a side volley, smashing the ball with his left foot!

The ball turned into a white blur, rocketing towards the top left corner.

Ratajczak's vision was slightly obstructed, but he moved quickly, lunging to save it!

"Swish!"

A perfect strike into the top corner!

Ye Chen's elusive positioning put him right there.

Of course, this was a rehearsed corner routine...

Whenever Ye Chen made a move, the ball was immediately crossed to the top of the box.

Whether it went in was Ye Chen's problem!

But clearly, Gündoğan racked up an easy assist from this corner... Easy money!

After scoring, Ye Chen crashed onto the turf but quickly got up.

He sprinted towards the corner flag, pulling his jersey up with both hands to show his name to the crowd.

He wanted everyone to remember his name!

Dortmund's number 16—Ye Chen!

The commentator was silent for three full seconds before reacting.

"He... he's scored again!"

"That's Ye's third time scoring five goals in a match!"

"Five goals in five minutes! This is the fastest five-goal haul in football history!"

"My goodness, Ye is like a football god today—unstoppable!"

"Oh my, am I really watching a football game?"

5 minutes and 35 seconds—exactly five minutes since his first goal at 35 seconds!

300 seconds—what can you do in 300 seconds?

For some, maybe just enough time for one...

But Ye Chen scored five goals in that span!

Düsseldorf's players stood frozen, while their fans sat nervously, unable to relax.

"I swear I'm done watching this team!"

"This is the most humiliating day in Düsseldorf's history!"

Fans started leaving!

The match was barely six minutes in, and a mass of Düsseldorf fans exited the stadium!

The commentator was stunned by the scene, eventually letting out a sigh.

"You can't blame the players... Ye is just terrifying today."

Ye Chen noticed the exodus, feeling a bit guilty.

Maybe he overdid it...

But hey, I need more goals—what if Lewandowski catches up to me?
