Ye Chen ignored Byrne and got up, clapping his hands and shouting, "Come on, guys, let's get our spirits up! We're the ones in the lead!"

"Yeah, we're the ones in the lead!"

"That's right, we've only conceded one goal!"

"Everyone, stay focused!"

Ye Chen's words were like a shot of adrenaline, and everyone quickly regained their composure!

Team A had only scored one goal, but Team B had scored two!

Ye Chen understood Byrne's intention, which was to provoke him, make him angry, and disrupt his focus.

An opponent who loses their cool is just a raging bull.

But Byrne underestimated Ye Chen!

In the first half, they scored two goals through counterattacks and long shots, which had an element of luck. Now, to score against Team A again, there were only two ways: rely on set pieces or wait until they were too tired to run.

Team A's players were constantly sprinting and crossing to break through Team B's defense, which was exhausting.

It was like when Chelsea played Barcelona in 2012, and Barcelona couldn't defend anymore, allowing left-back Torres to sneak in a goal at the last moment!

It became one of the iconic moments in football.

Team A and Team B had a significant gap in strength, and a reckless attack would only lead to chaos.

So Ye Chen called Januzaj over, "Adnan, let's try to waste time, take the ball to the sideline, and wait for them to foul!"

"But is it useful to waste time so early?"

"Trust me, it's the only way we can beat Team A!" Ye Chen said firmly.

"Alright!" Januzaj nodded, trusting Ye Chen, who had already scored two goals.

However, this scene caught Solskjaer's eye on the sidelines, and he couldn't help but show an appreciative expression, even exclaiming, "Indeed, China's rapid development is because they use their brains! This kid is a natural leader!"

Playing football requires a good physique, but the brain is the most important.

Let's put it this way, the body determines the lower limit, but the brain determines the upper limit.

The match restarted, and Banks passed the ball to Ye Chen. Instead of advancing, Ye Chen moved towards his own half.

Seeing this, Byrne immediately charged forward.

But Ye Chen had already passed the ball to left-back Taylor.

Taylor received the ball and made a cross-field pass, moving the ball from the left to the right, and soon it was back at Ye Chen's feet.

Unconsciously, Ye Chen became the brain of Team B!

At this moment, Byrne charged again, but Ye Chen made a long pass first, sending the ball to Januzaj on the right.

Although Januzaj was only 16, his skills and dribbling were outstanding for his age, and the main reason he wasn't a starter was his frail physique.

Ye Chen chose him to use his dribbling and ball protection to waste time.

As long as they could bring the battle to Team A's half, there was a chance to win this match!

Januzaj controlled the ball with his chest and brought it down with his toes, but Grimshaw immediately closed in.

Because his mistake in the first half cost the team a goal, he was now extra focused.

Seeing the opponent closing in, Januzaj performed a stepover, but the opponent wasn't fooled and blocked his path.

"Pass it to me!" Ye Chen ran over to support.

Januzaj made a diagonal pass to Ye Chen and then decisively moved forward!

"Move forward whenever there's a chance," was Ye Chen's advice to Januzaj.

As Januzaj moved forward, Ye Chen passed the ball to him!

"Beautiful one-two!" Solskjaer couldn't help but exclaim from the sidelines, as the match seemed to get interesting!

The ball was sent ahead of Januzaj with perfect timing.

Januzaj outpaced Grimshaw, got to the ball first, and without hesitation... stopped at the corner area.

The coach on the field was stunned!

Team A's players were also stunned!

What was going on?

Shouldn't he be cutting inside to shoot or crossing the ball?

There were indeed Team B players in Team A's penalty area, like Ye Chen's partner, the 171 cm Banks!

But he looked so small between the 186 cm Luke and the 188 cm McGinty.

However, Januzaj didn't cut inside to shoot because he wasn't confident in his shooting ability.

He was a typical winger with great speed, crossing, and technique, but average finishing skills.

Of course, he didn't know his shooting stats, but they couldn't compare to Ye Chen's 75.

While everyone was puzzled, Grimshaw, who had been beaten, came back to try and steal the ball, but Januzaj shielded it with his back, and eventually, the ball was kicked out of bounds, giving Team B a valuable corner kick!

Ye Chen knew that another scoring opportunity had arrived!

A weaker team must seize every set-piece opportunity against a stronger team!

He quickly called his teammates to push forward, leaving two full-backs and a defensive midfielder at the back to prevent counterattacks.

Of course, he immediately ran to the corner area and whispered a few words to Januzaj before heading into the opponent's penalty area.

Team A had already set up a defensive formation, with even forward Byrne marking Declan Dalley, who was about the same height.

"Beep!"

The referee signaled for the corner kick to be taken.

Januzaj glanced at the positions in the penalty area and took the kick.

"Boom!"

The ball curved perfectly towards the near post.

Most of the players were crowded in the middle, but as soon as Januzaj kicked the ball, Ye Chen sprinted towards the near post.

This was something the two had planned.

But when Ye Chen reached the near post, the opposing midfielder Tom was already in position and cleared the ball in advance.

Team B won another corner, and Ye Chen... was knocked to the ground.

Honestly, with his physique, he wouldn't survive in the Premier League, let alone La Liga!

But Ye Chen didn't stay on the ground for long. He quickly got up, handed the ball to Januzaj in the corner, and discussed a new tactic.

This time, Ye Chen didn't go to the near post to contest the header but stayed outside the penalty area, waiting for an opportunity.

Even without the S-Level Skill Card's effects, his long-range shot had become his strongest weapon.

The main issue was his weak physique, which put him at a disadvantage in aerial duels in the penalty area.

So he decided to take a chance with a long shot!

"Boom!"

The ball curved again.

To be fair, Januzaj's delivery was quite accurate.

No wonder he often took corners after being promoted to the first team.

Ye Chen, positioned outside, anticipated the ball's trajectory before it landed.

"Boom!"

Ye Chen lifted his foot and struck the bottom of the ball.

However, as the ball flew in this direction, Rothwell rushed over to block it!

But Ye Chen was quicker, and the ball flew straight towards the top right corner of the goal!

Jonathan in front of the goal didn't dare to be careless and tried to punch the ball away, but it slipped past his fingertips again!

"Swish!"

The ball brushed against the net, making a crisp sound.

It was like a basketball swishing through the hoop, crisp and pleasant, melodious and delightful!

"Hiss—"

The players who witnessed this gasped!

They couldn't believe such a volley came from China's Ye Chen!

After all, they had been around him long enough to know his capabilities.

Even though he had scored two goals, many thought it was luck, a fluke!

But now—

His luck today was unbelievable!

It's undeniable that stereotypes can be dangerous!

Team B's players were willing to listen to Ye Chen because their goals aligned.

However, Ye Chen's hat-trick slightly changed the stereotype.

It seemed like Ye Chen had gotten a little stronger since returning from China!

Like a small monster in a cartoon suddenly evolving into a big demon!

"Wow, that goal was amazing!"

As everyone watched the field, a blonde girl appeared on the sidelines.

The girl had golden hair, blue eyes, a captivating figure, and eyes full of life, resembling an elf from European mythology. She wore a red Manchester United jersey and white number 7 shorts, complementing her snow-white legs!

Lina

Hearing the girl's voice, Solskjaer snapped back to reality, showing a kind smile, "Lina, what brings you here?"

"This Chinese Ye seems to be better than before! That volley was incredible!"

"Maybe it was luck!" Solskjaer laughed, "He's been here for over a year and has never scored such a beautiful long shot!"

"Oh, I see..." Lina showed a look of realization, "Wait, isn't the red team the starters? How are they trailing 3-1? Did I see it wrong?"

"Today's match is indeed special. Ye, who just scored, completed a hat-trick! It's unbelievable!" Solskjaer marveled, but he had already made a decision to include Ye Chen in the squad against Liverpool.

If things get tough, he might need Ye Chen's "luck"!
