The Champions League draw was scheduled for 11:45 AM on March 16th.

However, Klopp's invitations were arranged from the 15th to the evening of the 16th...

But Klopp had already cleared his schedule after the afternoon of the 16th.

His stance had always been consistent: other players were negotiable, but Ye was not for sale!

As the round of sixteen officially began, Ye Chen received even more attention.

No one had expected that a teenager playing in the Champions League for the first time could be so terrifying.

First match, five goals!

Second match, a hat-trick!

In the first match, he single-handedly defeated a team!

In the second match, he single-handedly saved a team!

Especially after falling behind, he showed incredible resilience...

Although Dortmund's 3-3 draw with Inter Milan resulted in the first draw of his professional career, there's a saying:

[Dortmund tied Inter Milan with regret, but Ye left with his head held high!]

This was the headline of the local Dortmund newspaper, Ruhr Nachrichten, that day!

Of course, the superstar of the second leg of the round of sixteen was undoubtedly Messi.

Compared to Messi's five goals, Ye Chen's hat-trick was undoubtedly less impressive.

Including Gomez's four goals, which also caused a sensation in the Bundesliga.

Löw once again faced a pleasant dilemma...

Should he choose Ye Chen or Gomez?

However, this brings up Bayern's popularity in Germany.

Despite Bayern losing the Bundesliga last season, and the possibility of losing it again this season, their influence is at least four to five times that of Dortmund!

To put it simply, most of the reports about Dortmund are about Ye Chen scoring goals, but there's much more coverage about Bayern!

Even Müller going for a coffee can take up a large space in the newspaper.

That's just how influence works!

But Dortmund fans didn't care about these things because Dortmund had successfully reached the quarterfinals, and the fans were celebrating every day like it was Christmas.

Of course, when the draw officially started at noon on March 16th, everyone was waiting in front of their televisions, watching the live broadcast.

But at this moment, Ye Chen was meeting with Mendes, with four contracts in front of them.

The first was from Barcelona.

The second was from Real Madrid.

The third was from Manchester United.

The fourth was from Chelsea.

"These four clubs have sent official offers to Dortmund. From this moment on, you have officially become an €80 million man!" Mendes said with a bright smile.

"Have you ever thought about leaving Dortmund next season?" Mendes asked Ye Chen with interest.

Ye Chen shook his head. "No, I've said before that I hope to leave after winning the Champions League with Dortmund."

"But I think your strength can take you to a bigger stage, where the chances of winning the Champions League are greater! Such as Real Madrid or Barcelona in La Liga."

In a document dated January 8, 2012, the International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) announced the 2012 world league rankings. La Liga was ranked number one in the world for the third consecutive year, while the Brazilian league surpassed the Bundesliga, Serie A, and the Premier League to rank second.

The Bundesliga was now ranked third, followed by Serie A in fourth, and the Premier League in fifth!

The Argentine, French, Dutch, Paraguayan, and Chilean leagues ranked sixth to tenth respectively.

Of course, these scores and rankings clearly did not meet the expectations and positioning of the English people for their domestic league, but this was the professional data.

However, in terms of league appeal, including the improvement of his commercial value, the Premier League was definitely Ye Chen's first choice.

But it wasn't time to leave yet!

Besides, even if he were to transfer, he would first eliminate Real Madrid and Barcelona from La Liga.

If he went to Real Madrid or Barcelona, would he be assisting Messi and Ronaldo, or would they be assisting him?

Obviously, the latter was not realistic.

But Ye Chen was not the type of person to be a supporting player.

Why was Ye Chen's relationship with Lewandowski not good before? Who would be on good terms with their direct competitor?

Take Messi and Ronaldo, for example. They meet at least ten or twenty times a year, but have you ever heard that they have a good relationship?

Two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other is female!

And the male one can become the king of late entries, just like a deep-lying forward!

Then what about going to Manchester United?

Honestly, Ye Chen didn't want to go.

Ferguson was in his last year of coaching, and with his departure, the chaos beneath the red dynasty gradually surfaced, and Manchester United entered a long period of rebuilding.

He remembered before he transmigrated that Manchester United was ranked fifth in the league, and the news that Ronaldo wanted to leave was rampant.

Although Ronaldo himself did not return to the team due to family reasons, there were so many rumors that he wanted to leave, and he didn't come out to clarify, indicating that this statement was not unfounded.

As the king of the Champions League, it was reasonable for him to want to continue expanding his record while still in such good form.

After all, if you stand still for a year, Messi will catch up by a year.

And don't forget, Messi is two years younger than Ronaldo. But if Ronaldo left at this time, he would definitely be criticized by some Manchester United fans...

Ye Chen had no ill will towards Manchester United. The negative emotions from being previously released had long since dissipated due to Sir Alex's personal visit and David's personal apology. But Ye Chen was afraid of ending up in a situation like Ronaldo in the future, in a dilemma.

Besides, Manchester United was indeed the world's number one internet celebrity club, but as a Chinese, would Ye Chen lack attention?

China's 1.4 billion people were Ye Chen's strong backing!

He was proud to be Chinese.

Just like the slogan in high school: Today I am proud of China, and in the future, China will be proud of me!

Ye Chen would let more people know about China and know that there are people in this country who can play football well!

But getting back to the point, should he go to Chelsea now?

Chelsea did win the Champions League this year, which was a miracle.

But he would have to transfer at the earliest next season... In that case, would he go there to sink with them?

No no no!

Ye Chen felt that his football career was very short, so he didn't want to waste any year.

In the end, Ye Chen's answer was to wait!

"Help me reject them directly!" Ye Chen slowly shook his head, making the final decision.

But Mendes showed a look of astonishment. "Can't even Barcelona and Real Madrid attract you?"

"Before I achieve what I want at Dortmund, I don't want to leave here!" Ye Chen said very seriously. "Of course, now is not the best time for me to leave!"

The two talked in depth for a long time, and finally Mendes understood Ye Chen's thoughts.

Now was not the time to leave. To be precise... none of the four teams were suitable for Ye Chen.

Moreover, with Ye Chen's current physical strength, going to the Premier League was still somewhat weak.

Although he had the Super Iron Man trait, and his injury tendency was extremely low, if he couldn't gain an advantage in physical confrontations, he wouldn't be suitable for the Premier League!

Most importantly, he was only 17 years old, and there was no need to rush to transfer.

He should first establish himself at Dortmund, help Dortmund win a couple more championships, and then consider other things.

It would be too impetuous to rush to transfer after only achieving a little success.

Mendes also agreed with Ye Chen's statement and agreed to turn down the teams interested in Ye Chen.

Finally, the video on the big screen officially began.

And the first thing that appeared was actually... Ye Chen himself!

It was Ye Chen's five goals against Inter Milan in the first leg, which had been edited into a short film and played in its entirety...

This time, Ye Chen had brought glory to the Chinese people!

How many people around the world were watching this draw?

Ye Chen's influence was also expanding rapidly...
