Chapter 3235 Kaku Kaku, you're the coolest! The Blue Army can't hold on without you!
Goalkeeper Edward Mendy.
"The four defenders are Marcos Alonso, Christensen, Azpilicueta, and Reece James."
"The midfield duo of Kovacic and Loftus-Cheek."
"Left winger Ziyech, attacking midfielder Mount, right winger Jorginho."
"Forward Lukaku!"
Although the official formation is 4231, the actual personnel configuration looks more like 4321!
Mount and Ziyech form a double attacking midfield pairing, while Lukaku plays in the center.
"Dortmund will stick to their familiar 4-3-3 formation!"
"Goalkeeper Onana!"
"The four defenders are Guerreiro, Hummels, Akanji, and Mazraoui."
"The three midfielders are Camavinga, Wang Chu, and Reus."
"Left winger Olise, forward Ye Chen, right winger Götze."
It's not hard to see from the team's lineup that Dortmund's personnel situation is indeed quite bad.
The main problem is that the matches are too frequent, and the players simply can't recover.
And right after this match, they will play against the league leaders, Wolfsburg.
Ten Hag's "want both" personality naturally means he'll try to have his cake and eat it too.
It can be said that this starting lineup is Ten Hag's strongest lineup.
Of course, changes in the lineup necessitate certain changes in tactics as well.
If Camavinga starts today, Wang Chu's attack can't be so unrestrained.
We must help with the pullback.
Even Reus had to participate in the defense.
Orise has more room to maneuver in the middle lane.
Moreover, he and Reus can switch positions if needed.
Young and energetic players like Olise need to run more and take the initiative to share some of the defensive tasks.
Those features are truly exquisite!
Of course, another reason for playing Olise on the wing is that his defensive strength is needed.
He was facing off against Reece James and Mount on the right flank alongside Guerrero on the left...
These two are outstanding academy graduates from Chelsea, and their abilities should not be underestimated!
Guerrero alone definitely can't stop it.
Therefore, Olise must actively participate in defense today!
As for tactics, Ten Hag didn't dare to attack too recklessly.
A steady and methodical approach is key!
However, how the match will actually unfold depends on the condition of both teams' players.
"Beep~"
With the whistle blown by Polish referee Frankowski, the match officially began!
The camera focused on Lampard on the sidelines.
Lampard's face was weathered, but his eyes were full of determination.
They say you should strike while the iron is hot.
With a full squad, Chelsea faced a Dortmund side plagued by injuries, and he felt his team had a better chance of winning.
And the system notification sounded in Ye Chen's mind again!
"Ding! The match mission has been issued. The battle for the host's return to Stamford Bridge has officially begun. In this match, the host must lead Dortmund to an unscathed victory!"
"Mission Requirements: Dortmund must remain undefeated and the host must have at least 3 goals and assists!"
"Mission Rewards: One Grade B Talent Enhancement Card and one Grade B Ability Enhancement Card!"
The rewards are generous.
The task is not difficult.
In other words, this match is going to be very tough!
However, Ye Chen, who had been with the system for so long, had already gotten used to the tasks.
What if Chelsea is just a paper tiger?
A cute girl is here~~~
4 minutes 04 seconds.
Ziyech is on the left, facing Mazraoui.
Both of them were previously Ajax players and are very familiar with each other.
Ziyech is Ajax's absolute attacking core and a true star player.
On the contrary, Mazrawi was merely a supporting character.
But the former supporting actor has now become a key player on the championship team.
Ziyech was simply trying to get past his opponent.
But Mazrawi just wouldn't listen to the ruse.
"Boom!"
Left with no other option, Ziyech had to pass the ball back.
Alonso on the perimeter was ready long ago!
"Boom!"
Without stopping the ball as it flew over, he sent it directly into the penalty area!
Inside the restricted area.
Akanji moved quickly and jumped to his rescue.
But this time his prediction was wrong.
The football slipped over his head.
It landed right on Lukaku's head!
To be honest, Lukaku hadn't even realized what was happening yet.
The football was deflected—
"Oh!"
A close-range header!
Onana, standing in front of the goal, was also fooled by Akanji's intervention.
Unexpectedly, the ball slipped right through.
Faced with a header from such close range, one can only instinctively raise their hand.
But it's still too slow!
"Whoosh~~~"
"Goooooooooooal!!!"
"Lukaku has scored!!!"
"He helped Chelsea score the first goal of the game in five minutes!"
"A dream start!"
"This is also Lukaku's fifth goal since returning to Chelsea..."
"Perhaps, as the fans say, Lukaku's return can make them temporarily forget about the all-powerful Ye!"
There are so many beautiful girls in this coffee shop! Guys, let's go!
Lukaku, who scored the goal, was still a little dazed.
But he quickly rushed to the sidelines in excitement and did a sliding knee slide.
A radiant smile spread across his face...
"Lukaku, you're so handsome!!"
"Lukaku, I want to have your babies!"
"Kaku, Kaku, you're the coolest! Chelsea can't handle without you!"
The fans at the scene were all smiles.
Indeed, for players, scoring a goal is when they look their best!
Hummels went over and comforted Akanji.
Ye Chen also sighed.
After all, Akanji was not at his peak at this time.
It's worth noting that Manchester City only spent 1700 million euros to buy Akanji in 2022 – at the time, everyone thought Manchester City was buying a substitute, but unexpectedly, he has grown so quickly and has become Manchester City's main center-back.
Well, there's definitely a price to pay for developing players.
But Thiago Silva just started in the last game.
If he continues to start this game, his stamina definitely won't be up to par.
To play it safe, Ten Hag even brought on Hummels, who had just recovered from injury.
I just didn't expect it to be inside in just five minutes!
With the goal scored, the Chelsea players' fighting spirit clearly intensified.
They launched wave after wave of attacks against Dortmund!
Time flew by and it was 14 minutes and 22 seconds.
Mount dropped back to defend on the right and dispossessed the ball directly from young Olise.
Mount, having successfully intercepted the ball, delivered a surgical through ball to the right flank!
Lukaku in the attacking third has not changed his habits.
He's tall and strong, but he just loves to stay on the sidelines!
That speed was like a tank starting at full speed.
Lightning fast!
Lukaku made a decisive cross.
This time, however, Guerrero's retreat was very quick!
"Boom!"
The football was blocked.
They're back at Lukaku's feet.
Lukaku didn't force a cross, but instead passed the ball back to Mount who was following up.
Mount gets the ball and immediately makes a lateral pass.
Without thinking twice, he unleashed a powerful left-footed shot!
"Oh!"
The football flew towards the goal with tremendous force!
Onana, who was in front of the goal, immediately went to the ground to make a save.
The immense force was too much for him to control, and he bounced to the very edge of the penalty area line.
Akanji hurriedly chased after him, but another figure was a step ahead!
It's Jorginho!
"Oh!"
The follow-up shot was a perfect finish.
Upon seeing his former teammate, Onana hastily got up and made another save!
