Chapter 3234 Hopefully Lukaku's return will make us forget about Ye!
The atmosphere in both teams' locker rooms was very lively.
Lampard's expression was extremely serious. "Guys, we lost to them by one goal last season, and now we're back at home. We have to make them pay!"
"I know tomorrow is Ye's birthday, and their players are definitely going all out to celebrate with a victory. In that case, let's turn their birthday celebration upside down!"
"Let them know that Chelsea are not pushovers!"
"Go!!!!"
The other Chelsea players were also full of fighting spirit, their eyes bloodshot!
On the other side, Ten Hag didn't say much at all.
"I know the guys are tired, so we had to make some adjustments for this game... Of course, Chelsea is very strong, so my requirements are simple: play our style. As long as we play our football, even if we lose in the end, it's acceptable!"
"Alright, guys, today we're all fighting for ourselves!"
"Let the world's fans see that even though we are riddled with injuries and exhausted, our fighting spirit is still among the best in Europe!"
Did you attend any weddings during the Chinese New Year? Do you like this kind of bride?
"Let's do it!" Royce was the first to shout.
The other players also stood up and shouted in Chinese!
The entire locker room burst into flames!
Ye Chen couldn't help but exclaim – Bibo is so cool!
This is much better than the 2026 Spring Festival Gala!
The players walked out of the tunnel one after another.
Ye Chen saw several familiar faces in Chelsea's squad.
Azpilicueta, Christensen, and Marcos Alonso.
In addition, Mount, Ye Chen's little fan, also started today!
Of course, the most familiar one is Lukaku.
Lukaku's connection with Chelsea is a complicated and intertwined one.
Chelsea were the first to discover Lukaku, but who knew he wouldn't be able to make it there, and only found success at other teams.
Until the last two seasons, he was brought to Italy by Inter Milan.
It was Ye Chen who made the move, bringing Lautaro Martinez from Argentina to AC Milan, and so he frantically racked up stats.
Ultimately, Chelsea brought Lukaku back to Stamford Bridge for €1.13 million this season.
Lukaku has been playing really well in Italy, scoring over 20 goals in two consecutive seasons and racking up more than a dozen assists last season. He's arguably at his peak.
Now back in the Premier League, Lukaku has quickly adapted to the pace, scoring four goals and providing two assists in the first six rounds.
Many Chelsea fans are already ecstatic.
Today, Chelsea hosted Dortmund at home, and some fans even chanted "Lukaku vs. Ye Chen".
The most common comment from fans is – "We hope Lukaku's return will make us forget about Ye!"
A beautiful girl is waking up the guys. Which one do you like?
But is that even possible?
"Hey, Brother Chen! I'm so glad to finally see you!" Lukaku gave Ye Chen a big hug, his face beaming with a bright, slightly goofy smile.
In fact, Ye Chen got to know Lukaku because of Januzaj.
They are both Belgians.
Januzaj has now become a fringe player, but Ye Chen, Lukaku and De Bruyne are still among the top few in Europe.
Life is unpredictable!
Ye Chen exchanged a few pleasantries, then said, "Our defense will depend on you tonight."
Lukaku's face immediately darkened. "Brother Chen, I really didn't mean to block my teammates' shots. Those were all accidents!"
"Haha, I get it, I get it!" Ye Chen patted him on the shoulder. "Actually, it's okay to shoot a little off-target! You know, you're my best partner!"
AZP also came up and chatted for a bit, then stood at the front of the line, one on the left and one on the right, with Ye Chen.
Today's referee is Frankowski from Poland.
This guy has an interesting story: once, after getting drunk, he actually stole a road sign – which resulted in the Polish Football Association banning him for a year!
Lu Xun once said that drinking leads to mistakes.
Lu Xun was right!
"WOW~~~~"
The referee led the players onto the field.
A huge cheer erupted from the crowd.
The caddie Ye Chen was holding was a little girl of seven or eight years old. She had big eyes and blond hair. Although she was young, she was a beauty in the making.
She had been staring at Ye Chen for a while, and after Ye Chen noticed, he chatted with her for a bit.
Finally, I promised to take a photo with her and give her an autographed jersey after the game.
The little girl immediately beamed with joy!
European children grow up in an environment filled with football, and many develop a love for football at a very young age!
As the king of Stamford Bridge, Ye Chen naturally has many fans.
And then Ye Chen appeared.
Many fans held up homemade signs—
nice! ! !
The sign read, "Welcome home, King of Stamford Bridge!", "Happy Birthday, Ye!", and "Chelsea Soul, this will always be your home!"
Of course, there were also people who wanted Ye Chen's sneakers and jerseys...
"CCTV! CCTV!"
"..."
"Welcome everyone to tune in to Migu Sports on time! I'm your old friend Zhan Jun, and next to me is my partner, Coach Zhang Lu! Good morning, everyone!"
The television and online live streams started simultaneously.
However, most young fans prefer to watch live streams online.
"Chelsea are in excellent form recently, and their new signing Lukaku has integrated perfectly into the tactics. Moreover, the combination of experienced and new players in the squad is very reasonable!"
"On the contrary, Dortmund is suffering from serious injuries, with several key players still sidelined. Coach Zhang, do you think Dortmund can escape unscathed tonight?"
Zhang Lu chuckled, "It's really hard to say... Chelsea's squad is more solid, while Dortmund's bench is almost full, and they've even included Wang Yudong from the youth team in the squad... But this is also a good opportunity for him to experience the atmosphere of the game, and hopefully he can make the most of it and improve as soon as possible!"
"Yes, we saw Hummels in the squad today... and young Camavinga got a starting opportunity. Can they withstand Chelsea's attack?"
"Hehehe, since Ten Hag dares to use them, then trust them! Many top European teams are now aging their squads, and it's not uncommon for 17 or 8-year-olds to start, let alone Camavinga who is already 19!"
"He's a player Dortmund bought for 3500 million euros. In this transfer window, besides Dembele, he's the most expensive!"
"Yes, that's right!" Zhang Lu nodded in agreement. "But I think he should be fine. He performed exceptionally well in the second half of the last game!"
"Alright, let's take a look at the starting lineups for both sides!"
"Chelsea are using the familiar 4-2-3-1 formation!"
"Goalkeeper..."
P.S.: Thank you to the guys who tipped me yesterday, especially Professor Chen (who's being presumptuous) for the inspiration capsule~~ Waaah, it's been so long since I've received a gift~~
