Chapter 3208 The Air Filled with the Smell of Gunpowder! A Fight Broke Out in the Middle!
"CCTV! CCTV!"
"Welcome everyone to CCTV5. Today we bring you the UEFA Super Cup match between the defending Champions League champions Borussia Dortmund and the Europa League champions Villarreal!"
"I am He Wei, today's commentator!"
The weather in the capital is quite hot these days.
Wearing only shorts, He Wei ate two slices of watermelon before the official commentary, and was in a very good mood.
As for this match—to be honest, He Wei felt there was no problem at all.
Dortmund's previous loss was due to consecutive matches, plus the fact that it was an away game.
Dortmund's proactive squad rotation is very reasonable.
The key players have now finished their rest.
In particular, He Wei felt much more at ease after seeing the starting lineup.
We will win this battle!
A tiny yellow submarine? Just turn it into a yellow sunken submarine!
"Before the match officially begins, let's take a look at the starting lineups for both sides!"
"Dortmund's starting formation remains the familiar 4-3-3!"
Goalkeeper Onana.
"The four defenders are Guerreiro, Hummels, Akanji, and Mazraoui."
"The three midfielders are Emre Can, Wang Chu, and Reina."
"Left winger Reus, forward Ye Chen, right winger Dembele!"
Villarreal's formation is 4-4-2!
"Goalkeeper Asenjo."
"The four defenders are Pedraza, Pau Torres, Albiol, and Foyth."
"The four midfielders are Alberto Moreno, Capoue, Trigueros, and Jeremy Pino."
"The two strikers are Braye Dia and Gerard Moreno."
Both sides have players injured.
On Dortmund's side, Nuno Mendes, Morey, and Zagadou are all sidelined.
Villarreal, on the other hand, will be without their midfield maestro Parejo due to injury, along with former Arsenal players Coquelin and Chucueze.
Before the match started, the camera focused on Emery on the coaching bench and Ye Chen on the field.
The director on set used this method to subtly tell everyone about the grudges and affections between the two.
But no matter what the hatred is off the field, only the performance on the field matters most!
"Beep!"
Referee Karashev immediately blew the whistle to start the match.
Dortmund kicked off first.
Ye Chen passed the ball to a midfielder and then ran forward himself.
Dortmund, fielding their full-strength squad, had only one goal today—to end the game as quickly as possible.
We must not give the other side even the slightest hope!
At the same time, a system notification sounded in Ye Chen's mind.
"Ding! Help Dortmund win the European Super Cup for the first time! The mission requires you to lead Dortmund to defeat their opponents and become the champions within 90 minutes!"
"Mission Reward: Grade B Ability Enhancement Card!"
Upon hearing the system notification, Ye Chen's eyes lit up.
Why is Dortmund's overall strength insufficient?
Ultimately, it boils down to having high potential but lacking the necessary skills.
If you have more ability-enhancing cards, Dortmund's immediate combat power can be increased by several levels.
Even if we bring substitutes to the game, it won't be like the last game—wanting to use force but lacking the strength.
4 minutes 22 seconds.
Villarreal, the Europa League champions, tore apart Dortmund's defense with quick passing.
Capoue received the pass in the middle and quickly passed it to the right.
Pino on the right wing is known for his speed as a fast winger.
After receiving the ball, accelerate forward at high speed.
next second.
He noticed that the middle section, where Braye Dia and Moreno were both empty!
"Boom!"
A beautiful low cross.
The football flew to the center with a visible arc.
To the despair of Dortmund fans, two players managed to break through the defenses of Hummels and Akanji simultaneously.
How many points would you give this?
They were there first to reach the ball's landing point!
"Oh!"
Left center forward Diaz then unleashed a left-footed shot—
However, at the critical moment, Onana in front of the goal launched a lightning-fast attack.
The instant the ball was kicked, Dia felt like Onana was about to pounce on his face!
The force under his feet increased by two points.
then--
The football flew straight over the crossbar, and we didn't even get a corner kick!
"Holy crap, this attack is crucial!"
"Why didn't Dortmund field Thiago Silva today? Akanji's positioning was terrible!"
"Even Vixen is in trouble. How could Moreno possibly get rid of her..."
"This attack shows everyone that Villarreal is not a weak team; their attack is quite sharp!"
"Emery is definitely capable; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to manage PSG and Arsenal consecutively, and now he's even led Villarreal to the Europa League title!"
"He's certainly talented, but he shouldn't have offended Ye Shen!"
"..."
Following this attack, Dortmund's offensive began from the right flank.
What a pretty girl!
Dembele has played in La Liga before, so he is no stranger to Villarreal.
Facing his old rival Pedraza, he used all sorts of agility and skill to repeatedly send the ball into dangerous areas.
But it turns out that both Pau Torres and Albiol are quite strong.
Although the ball was passed into the penalty area, it was difficult for the ball to advance further.
Ye Chen made several clever runs, but he just couldn't get the ball into the goal...
The situation on the field became somewhat tense.
Both sides are launching offensives!
15 minutes 42 seconds.
Moreno, facing Mazraovi on the left, didn't approach him but suddenly accelerated towards the inside.
After creating an angle, he decisively crossed the ball.
Dia, who was ahead, was eager to prove himself after missing a golden opportunity.
This time, he also attempted a header shot.
However, his control over the header was still lacking.
It didn't even hit the target area!
Possession returned to Dortmund, but Villarreal did not retreat; instead, they initiated a full-field press.
Emery seems to be trying to force a mistake in Dortmund's defense so he can seize the opportunity and take the lead.
It's just that Dortmund's ball isn't so easy to steal.
The football was passed back and forth in the backfield.
Brothers, are you hungry from reading? Let's grab something to eat together!
However, just 16 minutes into the game, Hummels passed the ball out, but his foot was kicked hard by Dia, who was trying to steal the ball.
Hummels, who had fallen to the ground, let out a scream.
To everyone's surprise, the referee, Karashev, only gave a verbal warning.
Seeing the referee's lenient approach, Dortmund was not to be outdone.
Emre Can also kicked Dia hard when he was tackling for the ball.
The referee adhered to his own standards and did not issue a card.
But this only ignited the anger of both sides.
Then, at the 31st minute, a conflict broke out between the two sides in midfield.
Emre Can and Capue got into a scuffle, exchanging trash talk. If he hadn't been somewhat rational, he would have wanted to pin the other to the ground and beat him up.
With all the fans present as witnesses, the conflict officially broke out!
The players from both sides gathered together.
The referee, Karashev, only realized what was happening at that moment and immediately separated the two sides.
At the same time, he remembered that he had a card on him...
But it was just a matter of giving each side equal blame, with each person receiving a yellow card!
As the team captain, Ye Chen immediately stepped forward to communicate with the referee, while Karashev looked slightly displeased.
Although he didn't speak, his unfriendly gaze seemed to be telling Ye Chen—you're teaching me how to do things?
