The concept of "Total Football" has only become popular in recent years.

This is mainly due to Barcelona's dominance; they could maintain 80% possession throughout the match, completely overwhelming their opponents.

Previously, football was more like a turn-based game.

One team would attack for a while, and when they got tired, the other team would take over.

This is why Sneijder was so surprised by Dortmund's defensive speed...

Of course, as a world-class midfielder, Sneijder didn't panic. He simply passed the ball back to Maicon with a gentle push.

Maicon received the ball and decisively went down the flank. This time, Ye Chen was slightly slower.

But Ye Chen quickly chased after him.

Regardless of whether he could defend it or not, he had to show the right defensive attitude!

"Boom!"

Maicon made a decisive cross. The ball was slightly rushed and didn't find Milito or Forlán in the middle. Instead, Hummels headed it away for a clearance.

The match entered a very tense state.

Inter Milan wanted to equalize, but Dortmund's defense was very strong.

Ye Chen, playing as a left winger today, was very active. Maicon had originally intended to use Ye Chen as a breakthrough point, but several of his crosses were disrupted, causing Inter Milan to lose attacking opportunities.

The focus of the attack began to shift to central penetration.

But they just couldn't break through Dortmund's defense.

Dortmund's defensive positioning was very solid, especially with Kehl and Sven Bender in midfield.

At the same time, Dortmund's counter-attack speed was incredibly fast.

When Ye Chen, Lewandowski, and Großkreutz sprinted together, they were like three wild horses unleashed!

21 minutes and 19 seconds into the game.

Dortmund launched a counter-attack.

Right-back Piszczek intercepted Nagatomo Yuto's pass and passed the ball to Kehl in the middle. Kehl then returned the ball to Großkreutz on the right wing.

When attacking on the right, Ye Chen, as the left winger, would immediately move towards the center.

This both distracted the central defenders and provided an extra attacking option.

However, just as Ye Chen started his run, Zanetti followed him.

"Thump!"

Großkreutz directly passed the ball to Lewandowski.

Lewandowski continued to act as a target man in the front.

But just as Lewandowski turned, he saw Ye Chen's run. With a flick of his toe, he played a through ball into the penalty area!

At the same time, Ye Chen, who was previously ahead of Samuel, instantly made a diagonal acceleration...

The understanding between the pass and the run could only be described as perfect!

The ball appeared in Ye Chen's running path!

After shaking off Samuel, Ye Chen was one-on-one with César!

Of course, César reacted quickly and decisively rushed out of his goal.

Ye Chen received the ball, took a touch, quickly adjusted, and then took a shot with the tip of his toe!

The shot was very sudden.

But at the crucial moment, César stretched out a foot and deflected the ball wide for a corner!

"Great save!" Samuel praised César.

Ye Chen, who missed the one-on-one opportunity, covered his head with his hands.

It was such a pity to miss this chance!

He realized that his finishing in one-on-one situations still needed improvement...

If only he had Ronaldo's "stepovers"!

He could have dribbled past the goalkeeper, and the goal would have been guaranteed!

Of course, there was no point in regretting it. He gave Lewandowski his first compliment of the day.

It was a brilliant pass!

It was just that Ye Chen's final shot was a bit off... mainly because Samuel was already closing in. If he had tried to round the goalkeeper to the left, it would likely have been cleared. To the right, the angle was too narrow!

That's why Ye Chen chose to shoot.

Of course, it was too late to say anything now. He could only look for the next good opportunity!

In this Dortmund team, Lewandowski's role was somewhat like Benzema's, while Ye Chen's was like Cristiano Ronaldo's.

Of course, Ye Chen lacked some of Ronaldo's physicality, but he was even better in terms of attacking runs and speed.

However, in terms of overall strength, Ye Chen was probably only about seven or eight ability points behind the current Ronaldo!

Dortmund got a corner.

Kagawa took the corner from the right. Subotic managed to win the header at the near post, but César caught the ball securely on the goal line.

After catching the ball, César didn't wait for his players to get back into position. Instead, he launched an attack with a powerful throw.

The ball landed accurately at Sneijder's feet.

At the same time, Ye Chen, who was positioned outside the penalty area, quickly retreated.

Sneijder kicked the ball forward and then made a burst of speed!

After all, there was a lot of space on the right, but Ye Chen's speed was like a rocket. Despite starting later, he actually caught up with Sneijder!

Before Sneijder could even reach the ball he had pushed forward, Ye Chen made a sliding tackle and knocked the ball out for a throw-in!

Sneijder was startled. This kid was too fast!

The fans on the sidelines applauded loudly!

"Ye with a beautiful tackle!"

"It has to be said, Ye's speed is really too fast... Compared to Sneijder, he's like a supercar, while Sneijder is just an ordinary family car!" The commentator couldn't help but praise.

27 minutes and 28 seconds into the game.

Weidenfeller took a goal kick.

The ball landed at Hummels' feet and was then passed to Schmelzer on the left wing.

Because Ye Chen was on the left wing today, the left became the focus of the attack!

Schmelzer received the ball and advanced past the halfway line. At this time, Zanetti came up to defend.

But Ye Chen was still much faster than Zanetti and went straight to the byline.

As for Maicon, he was drawn to the center by Ye Chen.

There was no way around it. Compared to Schmelzer, Ye Chen was a bigger threat.

But Schmelzer didn't cross. Instead, he played a return pass.

The ball landed at Ye Chen's feet, who was moving to the left to receive it.

Maicon immediately became fully alert.

Ye Chen stopped the ball and made a large movement as if he was going to the byline.

Maicon also subconsciously moved to the right, but Ye Chen returned to his original position...

And then with the outside of his foot, he played a pass.

Sending it to Kehl, who was unmarked.

Kehl didn't hesitate and took a powerful shot.

"Boom!"

A thunderbolt out of nowhere!

The ball flew past the players in the penalty area and towards the goal.

César dove quickly, but he couldn't get a touch on the ball...

"Duang!"

As the ball bypassed César's fingertips, it hit the post!

But the ball didn't bounce out for a goal kick. Instead, it rebounded into the middle of the penalty area.

Lewandowski, who had been lurking in the middle, quickly followed up.

But Nagatomo Yuto made a desperate clearance first.

"Boom!"

The ball was cleared out of the penalty area by Nagatomo Yuto, but because the clearance was very rushed, it didn't go very far.

It landed right in the area where Ye Chen was.

Seeing the ball flying towards him, Ye Chen had a chance to control it!

But a bold idea suddenly popped into Ye Chen's head...

Facing the flying ball, Ye Chen didn't stop it at all. Instead, he swung his foot at the bottom of it!

Power creates miracles!

"Boom!"

Good anticipation combined with good shooting technique allowed Ye Chen to kick the bottom of the falling ball.

But just as the ball flew out, a figure jumped high...

It was Maicon!

Maicon jumped high and landed right in the path of the ball!

"Slap!"

The ball was blocked.

But the referee's whistle also blew!

"Bip!"

The referee pointed to the penalty spot!

Maicon certainly had the courage to block the shot with his body, but his hand was naturally outstretched when he jumped.

And the ball hit his hand...

With his body creating more defensive area, this was definitely a penalty!

Inter Milan's players immediately protested.

Maicon even tried to explain to the referee that he was trying to pull his hand back!

But the referee stuck to his decision. The penalty that Ye Chen had won was naturally his to take!

He placed the ball on the penalty spot.

But an angry Maicon ran over and kicked the ball away.

It has to be said, Maicon was an experienced
