Does Ye Chen want a hat trick?

Absolutely!

After all, his long-range shot guaranteed-goal card hasn't been used yet!

He had two earlier chances to shoot, but Diaby's rapid blocks left him with no opportunity to take a shot.

Since stepping onto the field, Ye Chen had only managed one long-range attempt.

Of course, he was eager to score his third goal, but the fans at the stadium were already overjoyed!

Ye Chen's recent free-kick was incredible—

A masterpiece of modern brute-force aesthetics!

The sheer velocity of the ball left many female fans blushing with excitement...

It was electrifying!

Royce and Sven Bender came over to congratulate Ye Chen on his goal, but some of the other players were less enthusiastic.

Building resentment is easy, but resolving it is tough.

What's more, this wasn't a formal tournament like the Euros—this was merely a friendly match for the players.

However, Ye Chen's act of retrieving the ball from the French goal was like rubbing salt in the wound for the French players!

Deschamps waved his hand decisively, making yet another substitution.

Saha replaced the exhausted Giroud.

This substitution clearly signaled that France intended to ramp up their offense in the final minutes!

As expected, after the game restarted, France began pressing hard against Germany's defense.

On the flank, Menez wasn't as powerful as Ribéry, but he faced Boateng, a towering defender!

Menez opted to use his pace to outmaneuver Boateng.

But Boateng wasn't an easy target either—if he couldn't stop the ball, he'd stop the man!

Twice, Boateng fouled Menez, earning himself a yellow card.

France's attacks grew sharper, several times penetrating dangerous areas.

At 85:39, Nasri delivered a brilliant through ball, Saha timed his run perfectly to beat the offside trap, and went one-on-one with Neuer, striking a powerful shot.

At the critical moment, Neuer came to the rescue!

With an outstretched right foot, he deflected the ball out for a corner kick.

Neuer, affectionately nicknamed "Little Neuer," is called so because his German last name "Neuer" means "new." At just 25 years old, he still had at least 7–8 years or more of his goalkeeping career ahead of him.

The match continued.

A serious French team put immense pressure on Germany, their attacks coming in relentless waves.

At this moment, the German fans in the stadium began singing their national anthem, "Deutschland."

"Deutschland, Deutschland über alles..."

Translation: "Germany, Germany above all, above everything in the world; always, for protection and defense, brothers stand together."

As the passionate singing echoed throughout the stadium, every German player seemed to find renewed focus.

This was an immense spiritual boost.

Even though Ye Chen considered himself more of a mercenary, he was also deeply moved by the fans' cheers.

Mental strength might be intangible, but the German players' actions became visibly more resolute!

88:10

Germany finally gained control of the ball.

Ye Chen didn't stay in the opponent's half waiting for chances; instead, he actively dropped back to receive the ball.

However, Kroos chose not to pass to him, instead opting for a long ball towards Gomez up front.

Gomez leapt high, using his strength to control the ball while being marked by Mexès.

With his back to goal, Gomez saw Ye Chen running toward him. After a moment's hesitation, he passed the ball over.

Facing the incoming ball, even though it was 30 meters from the goal, Ye Chen took a resolute shot!

"Boom!"

The ball flew toward the goal, but because Ye Chen had to avoid Diaby's block, he didn't apply much power.

Lloris easily caught the ball!

Seeing the rare chance wasted, Gomez was visibly displeased...

"Damn it, I should've just turned and shot myself!"

"Has he been hosting another music concert with Lina? Why's his shot so weak?" Kroos muttered from a distance.

Schürrle ran over, chastising, "Don't waste chances like that again! Do you realize how hard it was to get this opportunity?"

Ye Chen remained calm. "Pass the ball to me next time! Remember, just pass it and I'll score!"

Schürrle froze. What's wrong with this guy?

I'm telling him not to waste chances, and now he's asking me to keep passing him the ball?

Of course, Schürrle couldn't understand Ye Chen's reasoning—it was all to activate his guaranteed-goal long-shot card!

Throughout the game, Diaby's tight marking had left Ye Chen almost no room to shoot.

His two long-range attempts so far were unexpected but posed minimal threat.

Even Diaby began to doubt, "Is this guy really a long-range specialist?"

Doesn't seem all that impressive...

Ye Chen didn't care about Diaby's thoughts, though.

France regained possession, and Ye Chen retreated to his own half.

Diaby stayed glued to him like a shadow.

Lloris opted for a short pass to Abidal rather than a long clearance.

Abidal, known for his steady play, passed the ball to Malouda in midfield before staying back.

Malouda spotted Menez making a run on the right and delivered a wide, beautiful long pass.

The ball curved elegantly through the air, but Boateng got to it first, heading it away.

Germany regained possession, quickly transitioning into attack!

Höwedes, holding the ball, waited for Sven Bender to find space before passing.

But Ye Chen's positioning wasn't ideal, so the ball went to Kroos instead.

Kroos took possession, ignoring Ye Chen entirely, and passed to Schürrle on the right.

Schürrle, nicknamed "the little motor," immediately accelerated!

Debuchy from Lille rushed to defend but was cautious, opting to backpedal while blocking.

Schürrle glanced at Gomez in the center and Ye Chen lurking outside the penalty area before crossing the ball...

"Bang!"

The ball flew into the penalty area, where Gomez leapt to meet it.

However, Mexès cleared the ball before Gomez could make contact.

Germany earned a corner kick!

Kroos stepped up to take it, but Ye Chen approached, suggesting, "Want to try a short corner tactic?"

At that moment, Diaby reappeared, shadowing Ye Chen like a persistent pursuer.

Suddenly, the commentator exclaimed, "Look! Neuer is running up from the backfield!"

"Is Neuer joining the attack in the final moments?"

"Of course, this shows how relaxed both teams are—it's just a friendly, after all!"

If this were an official match, would Neuer join the attack while tied?

"Manuel, get back! Now!" Löw's voice cut through the stadium as fans cheered for Neuer's daring advance.

Disappointed, Neuer stopped at the halfway line, sighed, and jogged back toward his penalty area.

The referee blew his whistle.

Ye Chen stayed near the corner flag while the players in the penalty area jostled for position.

"Bang!"

Instead of a direct delivery, Kroos passed to Ye Chen outside the box.

The crowded penalty area made it difficult to pick a target, so Kroos left it to Ye Chen to improvise.

After all, Ye Chen was the man who scored five goals at the Allianz Arena!

Though surprised, Ye Chen quickly received the ball, turning to face Diaby head-on.

The ball danced under Ye Chen's feet like a toy, shifting left and right unpredictably.

Diaby guarded the inside line, preventing Ye Chen from cutting into the box.

What would Ye Chen do?

Ye Chen feigned to the right, using his left foot to push the ball in that direction.

Diaby immediately reacted, shifting slightly to the right.

But just as he moved, Ye Chen flicked his right foot, pushing the ball back to the left.

Ye Chen burst past Diaby with ease!

Realizing he'd been beaten, Diaby tried to trip Ye Chen, but Ye Chen stumbled, regained his balance, and continued chasing the ball.

Most of the players had already retreated to avoid an offside trap or prepare for defense.

Malouda charged in to block Ye Chen's shooting angle, attempting a sliding tackle.

Ye Chen activated his S-tier skill: Robben's Signature Cut-In!

Dodging Malouda's slide with a quick horizontal dribble, Ye Chen adjusted his position before striking decisively!

"Boom!"

The ball became a white blur, heading straight for the bottom left corner of the net.

Lloris dove swiftly, reacting to the shot instantly, but the ball had already soared past his fingertips into the goal!

"Swish!"

What does "just pass it and I'll score" mean?

"Roar!"

Ye Chen celebrated wildly, running to the stands and sitting on the advertising board, pointing at his name on the back of his jersey.

The "16 – YE" lettering stood out prominently!

"Ye Chen!"

"Ye Chen!"

"Ye Chen!"

The fans erupted in chants, jumping with excitement!

In that moment, the entire Allianz Arena shook with euphoria!

The debut hat trick for his national team...

With the Euros around the corner, Germany's opponents—are you ready for this?
