The template of Madoka Kaname: I rose from adversity to the summit.

In the locker room.

Yuan Meng put her arm around Aubameyang's shoulder, her expression full of mockery.

"Little Ao, I remember someone telling me—'Give it and you'll get it'?"

Do you know who told me that?

"How come I don't remember?"

Aubameyang kept his head down and didn't say anything.

It's hardened, its fists are hardened!

How can people be so despicable?

"Sigh, I should have passed it on to Shinji Kagawa."

"Little O, if you can't score a shot like that, how are you going to compete with Lewandowski for the Golden Boot?"

"You have to work hard."

Aubameyang struggled for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a single sentence through gritted teeth.

"You wait! I'll definitely get in next time!"

Before Yuan Meng could continue teasing her older brother, Tuher's voice rang out.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Go back to your seat!"

"Okay!" Yuan Meng quickly sat back down, looking like a good girl.

"The first half went well; although we wasted a few chances, our attack was very fluid."

"Just play like this and control the pace of the game."

"Aubameyang, don't worry about that goal, just focus on the game."

Aubameyang was surprised that his coach came to comfort him, and his face immediately turned red with shame.

"Yes, boss, I promise there won't be a next time."

The second half began with the teams switching sides.

Both sides were playing with incredible energy, showing no intention of conserving their strength.

In a head-to-head confrontation, Schalke was the first to create an opportunity.

Defensive midfielder Guess intercepted the ball from Shinji Kagawa in a one-on-one situation and then delivered a precise long pass.

The ball drifted towards the right flank with a slight arc, and winger Schöpf stopped the ball and quickly advanced forward.

Schmelzer closely marked him, cleverly using his body to block his path.

Schöpf, however, refused to give up. He dribbled the ball through the middle, pretending to force his way inside to create space for a pass.

Schmelzer was no pushover either; he pushed off the ground and accelerated forward.

Unexpectedly, their feet became entangled, and they both fell to the ground.

The referee blew his whistle and came to Schmelzer to issue a yellow card.

Dortmund players rushed over to comfort Schmelzer, only to find him lying on the ground, unable to get up.

What's going on?

Seeing this, Yuan Meng also rushed over from the side road, only to see everyone's brows furrowed, looking at the captain with concern.

"Team doctor!" Yuan Meng quickly gestured to Tuchel.

This isn't an act, nor is it an attempt to avoid a yellow card; the injury is genuine!

At this critical juncture, the captain's mother is injured, how can we possibly play!

The team doctor came up and conducted a preliminary examination.

Fortunately, it's just a minor sprain, but he won't be able to play in this match.

Tuchel was forced to make a substitution, with Passlack coming on as a left-back.

A powerful anthem rang out from the stands; the team was in dire straits, but the fans had not given up.

"Borussia, wir stehen zu dir,

(Dortmund, we stand by your side.)

In guten wie in schlechten Zeiten.”

(Whether in good times or bad.)

"Und wir werden immer bei dir sein,

(We are always with you.)

Bis in den Tod!

(Until death.)

This song is Dortmund's anthem of adversity, and fans don't sing it often.

Once it appears, it means that Dortmund is facing a life-or-death situation.

This is also the fans showing their attitude: no matter what the situation, they cannot lose to Schalke!

The competition continued, accompanied by the never-ending singing.

The pressure is on the Dortmund players; even as their physical condition begins to decline significantly, they dare not stop.

Even the usually lazy Dembele became serious and started asking for the ball frequently.

"Dembele's double crossover dribble left Höwedes completely bewildered!"

"Here it comes, cut inside and shoot!"

"Holy crap, Naldo's diving tackle!"

"The referee has shown another yellow card!"

"This is the third yellow card of the match. Are they here to play football or to fight?"

It's normal to bring a ball into a fight.

[A minor incident; all 16 yellow cards were issued at one point.]

That's the World Cup, how can it be compared?

[I think the referee should have issued a red card, otherwise things really would have gotten out of control.]

The tension continued to build in the 56th minute of the match.

After receiving the ball, the opposing left winger, Meyer, prepared to launch a counter-attack, but Yuan Meng suddenly appeared from the side and shoved the ball out of bounds.

"Yuan Shen has gone berserk!"

"Wait, why did the referee give him a yellow card?"

"Corrupt refereeing!"

Yuan Meng stood there stunned. He had indeed tripped Meyer, but he had touched the ball!

Just as he was about to step forward to argue with the referee, Piszczek rushed up from behind and hugged him.

"Don't be impulsive, or two yellow cards could turn into one red!"

Okay, okay, is this how you play it?

Yuan Meng got angry and started raising her hand frequently to ask for the ball.

Weigl trusted him completely and switched the ball to the right wing.

Yuan Meng accelerated towards the baseline with all her might, while Hinatz, who was also carrying a yellow card, moved very cautiously.

Yuan Meng executed a spiking and change of direction flawlessly, successfully cutting inside!

Center-back Nastasic covered for the defense and made a decisive sliding tackle!

Yuan Meng jumped with the momentum.

"Beep beep beep!"

The referee promptly showed Nastasic a yellow card.

Very good, their left-back and left-sided center-back both have yellow cards. Let's see who can stop me now!

Yuan Meng raised her arm and waved it, her heart filled with excitement.

He realized that the referee wanted to control the intensity of both sides' actions by issuing yellow cards, and now he was just in time to draw a few more yellow cards from the opposing team.

Castro took the free kick, and the ball flew straight into the penalty area.

Amidst the chaos, Yuan Meng leaped over the center-back and barely managed to glide the ball close to the near post.

The second landing was even more tragic; the four people were huddled together, pulling at each other's clothes, unable to jump.

The ball was eventually cleared by Schalke's right-back.

"It's so intense, it's very difficult for both sides to score."

"As soon as the ball entered the penalty area, it was surrounded by a group of big men."

"The two sides are evenly matched; now it's just a matter of who can hold out until the end!"

In the 65th minute of the match, Weigl made a sliding tackle and received a yellow card.

This tackle even brought down Schalke's center forward, Di Santo.

With no other option, Weinzir signaled for a substitution, and Mo Ting stepped in.

However, Schalke's substitute center forward is relatively weak, so Schalke played more conservatively.

A draw would be acceptable for them playing away from home.

Dortmund, on the other hand, has already received so many yellow cards; if they don't win the game, they'll suffer a huge loss!

Tuchel shouted loudly from the sidelines, signaling to continue pressing.

In the 79th minute of the match, Shinji Kagawa, whose stamina was completely depleted, was substituted off, and Mario Götze came on.

Having a skilled and physically fit veteran organize the play was Tuchel's last gamble.

He simply couldn't get Yuan Meng off the field; he had to keep a close eye on the opponent's counter-attacks.

"A beautiful steal!"

"Yuan Shen, who already has a yellow card, still dares to engage in physical violence!"

"The match is nearing its end, but both sides remain highly motivated."

"It's rare to see a match this intense without a goal!"

You can even see WWE on a football field.

It's a pity we didn't see many takedowns.

[What's the pity? Didn't you see Dembele being grabbed by the shirt by the opposing full-back and thrown around like a top?]

That was truly spectacular.

This happened in the 82nd minute of the match, and Schalke's right-back Höwedes received a yellow card as a result.

Schalke's four defenders are all currently carrying yellow cards.

Dortmund were not to be outdone, with center-back "Butcher" Sokratis delivering a header that gave Schalke's substitute striker Moting a real thrashing.

However, he also received a yellow card.

Currently, a total of 7 yellow cards have been issued throughout the match, with Schalke leading by a narrow margin of one yellow card.

The referee, Brych, was furious. As an internationally renowned top referee, he rarely saw two teams so clueless.

He just hopes the match will end quickly and that both sides can have a peaceful resolution.

Unfortunately, it backfired.
