Real Madrid's arrival in Dortmund instantly made them the center of attention in Germany.

Their every move captivated Real Madrid fans worldwide.

Even their training sessions were met with a barrage of cameras.

Recently, many uninvited guests appeared around Dortmund's training ground.

However, Klopp had arranged security patrols in advance, preventing Dortmund's training plans from being exposed!

The match hadn't even started, but the off-field battles had already begun.

At Real Madrid's press conference, Mourinho stated in an interview that Klopp was overrated, and his achievements were mainly due to the lack of intense competition in the Bundesliga.

When asked about his opinion on Dortmund, Mourinho said that there was indeed one player in Dortmund worth paying attention to, and that was Ye. But apart from Ye, none of the other players were qualified to play for Real Madrid!

In short, only Ye met Real Madrid's requirements. Of course, he also emphasized, "Even if Ye joined Real Madrid, he would have to start from the bench. After all, Real Madrid has too many excellent players!"

Little did Mourinho know, Ye Chen held grudges.

Some said Mourinho was jealous of Klopp having such a luxurious young squad.

Mourinho simply shrugged, "As a coach, I am definitely stronger than Klopp. Of course, as for my being jealous, everyone can see who wins after the game!"

"If Ye had to replace a player's position, who would you consider?"

"I won't answer such a question." Mourinho smiled contemptuously. "I must reiterate that if Ye wants to become a world-class player, he must play for me. Only I know how to use Ye! Of course, he is also the most suitable player for my tactics, just like Drogba back then!"

The questions quickly shifted to Ronaldo beside him.

"You've only scored nine goals in eight games, but Ye has scored eight goals in two games. Will you be overtaken by Ye on the top scorers list in this game?"

Ronaldo was very calm, "For a mature player, the team's victory is always the top priority. Of course, the number of goals is also an important criterion for measuring a player's strength, and I am ahead of him, so I must be stronger!"

"Some time ago, Real Madrid offered 88.88 million euros for Ye Chen. Would you personally welcome Ye to join Real Madrid?"

"Of course, his arrival can strengthen our squad depth."

Wow...

There was an uproar at the scene.

"Do you mean Real Madrid spent 88.88 million euros just to buy a substitute player?"

"I don't think there are any problems with Real Madrid's attacking line now. Whether it's me, Benzema, or 272 and Di Maria, they are all the best in the world!" Ronaldo said firmly.

"You are two goals behind Messi on the top scorers list. Will you narrow the gap in this round?"

"Of course, don't forget, I am the King of the Champions League!" Ronaldo said domineeringly.

As Real Madrid's pre-match press conference ended, the entire online world became lively.

The smell of gunpowder emerged before the match even started!

[Mourinho thinks Klopp is overrated!]

[Mourinho: Apart from Ye, no other player is worthy of Real Madrid.]

[Mourinho: Even if Ye comes to Real Madrid, he will be a substitute. This is the best club in the world!]

[Mourinho: Ye can only become a world-class player by playing under me!]

[Ronaldo: I am stronger than Ye because I am above him!]

[Ronaldo: I am the King of the Champions League!]

These headlines and news could be seen everywhere in newspapers, websites, and even on continuously playing large screens.

On the other side, Klopp also held a press conference.

At the press conference, Klopp was very calm, "Compared with Real Madrid, we are indeed at a disadvantage, but this is where football is interesting. It doesn't mean that a strong lineup can guarantee victory!"

"Ye is our strongest weapon, and he will not be at a disadvantage even against Ronaldo. I have absolute confidence in him!"

When a reporter mentioned Mourinho saying that even if Ye went to Real Madrid, he would be a substitute.

Klopp's face suddenly turned ugly, "If Ronaldo came to Dortmund, he would also have to be Ye's substitute! I said that!"

Another reporter mentioned that Ronaldo said he was stronger than Ye because he was ahead on the top scorers list!

And that he was the King of the Champions League.

Klopp was very calm about this, "When Ye first joined the Bundesliga, where was his shadow on the top scorers list? But what about now? He is at the top of the Bundesliga top scorers list, and the top of the German Cup top scorers list! He is also ranked fourth in the Champions League with eight goals in two games!"

"If Ronaldo is the King of the Champions League, then Ye is the King of Late Arrivals in the Bundesliga!"

"Ronaldo, your chrysanthemum is about to be lost!" Klopp showed a sly smile.

Of course, Ye Chen, as the hot topic of the news, did not appear at the pre-match press conference for the knockout stage.

At this moment, Ye Chen was doing strength training in the gym!

"Chun, your stamina is too strong! You've been doing strength training for so long, don't you feel tired?" Mane gasped.

Wang Chu and De Bruyne were sitting on the bench, panting heavily.

Ye Chen put the dumbbell on the ground and wiped his sweat, "It's not that I'm not tired, it's that I grit my teeth and persevere! Chu, have you noticed that your body has become much stronger?"

Wang Chu nodded, "Yes, but my body is still a bit thin!"

"It's okay, we have the strongest mental attributes!" Ye Chen said calmly.

The five thousand years of Chinese culture has created their tenacious character.

And the perseverance to never give up in the face of hardship!

The vast majority of Chinese people are hardworking geniuses!

Which is what everyone often calls "the rolling king"!

"This is too much!" At this moment, De Bruyne, who was browsing messages on his mobile phone, said, "Ye, didn't Real Madrid pursue you before? Mourinho actually said that you would be a substitute even if you went to Real Madrid!"

"Let me see!" Ye Chen glanced at it, and it was indeed what Mourinho said at the press conference.

After reading it, he laughed.

"There's nothing wrong with saying that. Just like when I first came to Dortmund, didn't I also start from the bench?" Ye Chen didn't take it seriously.

"Then what does Ronaldo mean? Why doesn't he mention that your eight goals were scored in two games?" De Bruyne continued.

"The top scorers list doesn't look at your scoring efficiency. There's a saying in our China, whether it's a black cat or a white cat, a cat that can catch mice is a good cat! No matter what, he is indeed ahead of me." Ye Chen said calmly.

"Chun, aren't you angry at all?" Mane asked curiously.

"What's the use of being angry?" Ye Chen asked back.

"Then what is useful?" Wang Chu asked.

"Of course, it's kicking him off the top scorers list..." Ye Chen's mouth curled into a smile, and he said lightly.

In football, he liked Ronaldo and Messi. If he had to choose one, it would be Ronaldo.

Because he is closer to ordinary people, always giving people the illusion that as long as we work hard, we can also reach Ronaldo's level.

Of course, there is a view in football that is wrong, that is, Ronaldo has no talent, and Messi does not work hard!

Let me put it this way, although Ronaldo's talent is not as good as Messi's, he is definitely a genius level.

As for Messi's hard work... can a person who doesn't work hard score more than ninety goals in a season?

So you have to think more when looking at problems!

But now that he has become Ronaldo's opponent, what he has to do is one thing... pull him down.

Just like a classic line.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't bully the young and poor!
