Chapter 3232 The Champions League group stage is here, and Ye Chen's birthday is coming soon!
How can a team transform itself?
Win!
Once a team wins the championship, it will have the mentality of a champion.
However, this can also lead to significant inertia.
Because after winning the championship, many players on the team will lack motivation.
They might even personally approach the head coach and ask to leave the team!
To put it bluntly, if you've already won the championship, what's the point of trying anymore?
Why not just lie down!
However, even if the team has the same lineup, its fighting power will decline in this case.
Of course, Dortmund's first opponent this year is Chelsea, whom they played in the round of 16 last season.
In the previous season, Chelsea defeated Manchester City 1-0 to win the Champions League title.
Their strength is beyond doubt.
Dortmund had a tough time winning last season.
First, they faced Chelsea away from home and were tied 3-3.
Later at home, Dortmund narrowly won 4-3 thanks to Ye Chen's hat-trick and Reus' goal.
Now that they've met directly in the group stage, the entire Chelsea team is naturally united in their determination and shared a common goal.
Chelsea's performance this season, in particular, has been terrifyingly strong.
The Premier League is the earliest league to start, and they have already played six league matches. Chelsea have gone on a winning streak of 4 wins and 2 draws, remaining unbeaten!
With such strong momentum, facing Dortmund who have come from afar, they have only one thought—to fight and win!
Last season, Chelsea, under Lampard's leadership, made it into the Champions League zone, so he stayed on.
Now that enemies have met, it's natural that they're extremely hostile!
Doesn't UEFA get tired of seeing the two seasons together in a row?
Yes, that's the question Ye Chen asked!
The match will be held at 8:45 PM on September 15th!
The pre-match press conference will be held on the afternoon of the 14th at the hotel where Dortmund is temporarily staying.
Unlike other teams visiting London, London was particularly lively today.
Don't forget, Ye Chen is the King of Stamford Bridge!
What's more, Ye Chen's birthday is right after the competition...
Ye Chen's birthday is September 16, 1995.
Domestically, by the time fans were watching the game, Ye Chen had already celebrated his birthday!
I really love this outfit!
Of course, the pre-match press conference was just as exciting as the match itself.
Lampard appeared quite calm during the interview, saying, "Dortmund is a very dynamic team, with excellent counter-attacking speed and wing play. We must score early at home and control the tempo of the game."
"Happy birthday, Ye! But as my rival, I'll do everything in my power to ruin his birthday party!"
Captain Azpilicueta smiled and nodded, "I agree with the boss. Don't worry, after we win the game, I'll wish Ye a happy birthday!"
"As for losing last season – it’s not shameful to lose to the Champions League winners, after all, no one but the champions could beat us in the last game."
Although their attitude was indifferent, it was clear that they were still very unwilling to accept it.
On the other side, Tenhag smiled, "Ye's birthday is definitely a big day for us! Even if it's just to let Ye have a happy birthday, we will defeat our opponents..."
"The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge will be challenging, but the players are mentally prepared. Chelsea have strong midfield control, but their defense is slow to turn, and we will create opportunities through quick transitions."
"Ye is our captain and the core of the team... I believe Chelsea fans know his strength very well... Today, we'll put Ye in the striker position, and I'd like to see who can stop him!"
Ye Chen rolled his eyes on the other side. "Actually, Chelsea has always held a place in my heart. I saw many familiar fans when I came back this time... But I'm sorry, as a Dortmund player, I have to do my best... As for the result... I can accept any result, but I must admit that I want to win the game! As for AZP's post-match congratulations... I will accept their congratulations after the victory!"
Happy New Year, babies!
The exchange over distance immediately ignited tensions.
Ye Chen's arrival initially made Chelsea the Premier League champions for a short period.
However, after Ye Chen left, the team's core players also left one after another, and Chelsea began their rebuilding process.
But the competition in the Premier League is just too fierce.
Even though Abramovich invested a lot of money, it was to no avail.
The main issue is the recent deterioration of the international situation, with rumors circulating that war is imminent and Abramovich will be kicked out of the Premier League.
It's often said that football knows no borders.
But leagues have national borders, players have national borders, and many high-level officials also have biases!
In fact, the rift between Abramovich and Chelsea began in 2018 when Theresa May, the British tycoon, revoked his golden visa on national security grounds.
This is a fast-track residency permit for high-net-worth immigrants.
This made Abu feel betrayed.
It's worth noting that since taking over Chelsea in 2003, he has invested a total of £20 billion and is regarded as the savior of Stamford Bridge.
Even Ye Chen couldn't surpass Abu!
But Ye Chen knew that in March 2022, the UK would impose sanctions on him…
At that point, not only will people demand he sell Chelsea, but they will also restrict his entry into England.
Of course, this is the European way of doing things.
Then in May, his Chelsea will be taken over!
The most important thing is that the money from selling Chelsea has been frozen, and Abramovich can't take a single penny with him.
However, Abramovich is indeed wealthy, and he has pledged to donate all the proceeds from the sale of Chelsea to charity.
Even so, the money still couldn't flow out and remained frozen.
Later, in 2025, Abramovich admitted that it was impossible for him to buy any more teams.
Who can a broken heart continue to love?
Arriving at Stamford Bridge again, Ye Chen wondered whether he should save Abu.
I remember that Abu was quite good to him back then, and even when he wanted to leave later, he didn't stop him much.
It was a peaceful breakup.
Coupled with his unconditional love for Chelsea... Ye Chen felt he deserved a peaceful end.
This is something we can talk to Lina about!
While resting that night, Ye Chen sent the message to Lina and then fell into a deep sleep, preparing for the first official match of the new season's Champions League.
9 month 14 day.
Manchester United will play first, away against Malmö.
Players who frequently play Happy Beans are likely familiar with Malmö.
It is one of the famous Nordic four dog breeds.
However, they managed to defeat the formidable Manchester United 2-1 in this home game!
Even though Ronaldo opened the scoring for Manchester United, Wan-Bissaka's red card later sealed the game.
In particular, Maradona's winning goal in the 95th minute ignited the home fans' passion!
I'd give this a 95 out of 100. What do you guys think?
Of course, Manchester United fans can't sleep!
Besides the match itself, Ronaldo's substitution in the 72nd minute also sparked heated discussions.
It was clear that Ronaldo didn't want to leave the field; he kicked a water bottle away as he was leaving!
Later, in an interview, Ronaldo appeared very angry.
However, the culprit behind this loss was Lingard, who made an own-goal assist... Otherwise, even with one less player, Manchester United could have escaped with a clean sheet!
