King of the Zone

Cheng Hai, who played the full 90 minutes for the first time, did not disappoint. In the game against Singapore, he scored a total of 5 goals and 3 assists, directly creating 10 of the 8 goals scored by the Hua Guo team, allowing the Hua Guo team to hit a double-digit score of 10-1.

So far, Cheng Hai has scored a terrifying 2011 goals in official matches in 91.

After the game, the news that Cheng Hai broke his annual scoring record to 91 goals with five goals in a single game once again caused a sensation around the world.

Now Cheng Hai can cause a huge sensation in almost every game, and is continuously exposed in front of the media.

Perhaps, after he raises the total annual goals to the 100-goal mark, the FIFA Ballon d'Or at the end of the year may really be able to wrestle with Messi!

After the match against Singapore, the Hua Guo team flew to Jordan to prepare for the second round away group match.

After defeating Barcelona to win the European Super Cup and setting an annual scoring record, Cheng Hai's influence in Asia has exceeded the expectations of himself, the Chinese media and fans.

In Amman, the capital of Jordan, Cheng Hai saw many fans or children wearing Dortmund's No. 9 jersey, or Cheng Hai's portrait printed on the clothes.

At the pre-match press conference, Jordan’s head coach and team captain were also very low-key, claiming that Cheng Hai is the number one superstar in Asia and the Hua Guo team is the number one team in Asia. In their match against the Hua Guo team, they only want to lose less points.

However, what Cheng Hai and the Huaguo team did not know was that the Jordanian Football Association offered the team a high appearance fee, winning awards, draw awards, goal awards, assist awards, key defense awards, goalkeeper save awards and other bonuses to the team before the game.

As a country in the Middle East, Jordan is also very wealthy and has the capital to offer high bonuses to the players.

Since 1993, the Jordan team has played against the Chinese national team a total of 8 times. The Jordan team's record is 3 draws and 5 losses, without a single win.

Speaking of which, Jordan has a history of being invincible against China for 18 years, and the words "sinophobia" may have appeared in some people's minds.

So this time the world preliminaries are facing the Hua Guo team at home. The Jordan team dare not say that they want to win the Hua Guo team, and they dare not even think about a draw.

Of course, they also knew that it was difficult, otherwise they wouldn't have to offer very high bonuses, and the types of bonuses were divided very carefully, even key defenses had separate bonuses, just to allow the midfielders to actively defend Cheng Hai.

Cheng Hai and his teammates and coaches were deceived by what they saw when they arrived in Amman, as well as the remarks made by Jordan's coach and captain at the pre-match press conference.

Of course, more importantly, the 10-1 match against Singapore in the last game really gave the team too much confidence. It is inevitable that everyone has a mentality of being invincible in Asia.

On the day of the game, the weather was also very unfavorable for the Hua Guo team.

The last match was in Chuncheng City, Caiyun Province, Huaguo. The weather was very comfortable and suitable for playing football.

As a result, the game was switched to the Middle East. The sun was shining brightly that day, and the temperature was as high as 30 degrees.Although the game time was 19:00 local evening, it was actually still dark at this time.

After a day of exposure to the sun, the temperature did not drop much in the evening, it was still very hot, but there was no direct sunlight.

Half an hour of warm-up before the game has already made everyone sweat profusely.

But as natives, the players of the Jordanian team feel better, not as uncomfortable as the players of the Huaguo team.

During the warm-up before the game, a large number of Jordanian fans in the stands held Cheng Hai's portrait and shouted Cheng Hai's name, which also made Cheng Hai and his teammates feel a little cordial, as if the Jordanian fans also supported them.

Every time Cheng Hai waved his hand to greet the stands, it could arouse the cheers of all the Jordanian fans.

However, at 9:6 on the evening of September 19, following the whistle of the referee, the 00 Brazil World Cup Asian qualifier match between Jordan and Hua Guo officially started. All the Jordanian fans who shouted Cheng Hai’s name stopped shouting.

The Jordanians abandoned Cheng Hai and began to cheer for their own team. Some people even booed Cheng Hai when he got the ball.

Cheng Hai patted his head and smiled wryly: People just like him, but when it comes to the national team competition, how could they support him to lead the Hua Guo team to defeat Jordan?

I'm a little bit self-righteous.

During the game, Cheng Hai and his teammates found that the Jordan team was completely different from what they said before the game, not daring to win, not even daring to think about a draw.

In the game, Jordan's players were very tough.

Jordan is a West Asian, tall and strong, much taller than the players in Singapore.Except for a few people like Cheng Hai and Zheng Zhi, the physical fitness of the other players is not as good as that of the Jordanians.

Coupled with the fact that the Jordanians dared to scramble and fight under the incentive of bonuses, many half-to-half opportunities were snatched by the Jordanians.

Even when Cheng Hai got the ball, he knew that his physique would be difficult for Europeans to take advantage of, and the opponents dared to rush up to fight him toughly.

One person may not be able to grab Cheng Hai, but with two or three people, Cheng Hai will lose the ball most of the time.

Coupled with the disadvantages of away games such as weather and stadium, the Huaguo team failed to score a goal in the opening 20 minutes.

Cheng Hai naturally broke through, assisted, and shot desperately.

But as I said before, the Jordanian's defensive strength is much higher than that of the Singaporean. Even Cheng Hai, facing the two or three men who rush up aggressively to double-team and encircle him every time, it is difficult for him to break through smoothly.

If he was a diver, he could use the opportunity to fall down to deceive the opponent's fouls and free kicks, but Cheng Hai is not that kind of person.

Therefore, Cheng Hai's breakthrough and shooting were not smooth.In the first 20 minutes, there was only one threatening shot, and he shot it at a slightly right angle under the interference of the opponent's defender, and was saved by the goalkeeper Shafi.

As for assists, there are teammates who can run out of space to receive his pass and shoot, but the shooting skills of their teammates are far behind Cheng Hai.

Coupled with the opponent's active fighting and their overall poor condition, the teammates shot twice in the first 20 minutes, but none of them hit the goal frame and missed the post.

On the contrary, in the 22nd minute, the Jordan team used a strong frontcourt press to force the Huaguo team to make a pass error in the backcourt. Ahmad stole the ball and assisted Alah Dib to score.

The Jordanian team took the lead in scoring a goal in the contest with the Asian champion Huaguo. Tens of thousands of Jordanian fans in the Harman International Stadium suddenly burst into earth-shattering applause and cheers.

The more famous Cheng Hai became, the more excited they were to score ahead of the Hua Guo team.

The faces of the players of the Hua Guo team were a little ugly.

Before the game, no one expected that this game would be so difficult.

Because the Jordan team ranks 92nd in the world, which is better than Singapore, but it is also limited.

Unexpectedly, from home to away, from East Asia to the Middle East, there will be such a big difference in the opponent's performance. What is even more unacceptable is that Cheng Hai has not yet scored a goal. The Jordan team scored first, leading the Huaguo team.

While this goal boosted the morale of the Jordan team, it also made the Huaguo team feel tormented.

In the next game, the players of the Huaguo team became more impatient and began to want to use their technical advantages to form a counterattack.

But I don't know how long the Jordanians have practiced against the Chinese team's defense. Whether against Cheng Hai or other players of the Chinese team, the Jordanian team defends extremely tightly.

Moreover, after the first goal, they became more confident and played better, making it more difficult for the Hua Guo team to break into the penalty area and form a shot.

Of course, there is a common practice all over the world for breaking dense defenses, and that is to strengthen long-range shots outside the penalty area.

Cheng Hai, on the other hand, happened to have full-scale shooting skills and shooting power, enough to hit long-range shots with sufficient power, fast speed, and tricky angles.

For the rest of the first half, Cheng Hai shot a five-foot long shot from outside the penalty area.

But what is surprising is that none of Cheng Hai's five strong long-range shots resulted in a goal. This has never happened in Cheng Hai's games so far.

In addition to the two shots that missed the goal frame due to the interference of the opponent's defender, the other three shots that hit the goal frame were all thrown out by the Jordanian goalkeeper Shafi as if possessed by a goal god.

In addition, Huang Bowen, Yu Hai, and Zheng Zhi each had a shot, but none of them scored.

The Hua Guo team, which bombarded the Jordan team for 45 minutes, not only failed to score, but was scored by the opponent. The Hua Guo team, which has Cheng Hai, the world's top striker, fell behind 0-1 at the end of the first half.

This is a rare big upset.

Although the game is not over yet, the Hua Guo team definitely has the strength to turn the tables, but the score in the first half alone is enough to be regarded as a super upset.

Therefore, at the end of the first half, Jordan's players, coaches, fans, reporters, commentators, etc. were all very excited.

As for the Hua Guo team, their faces were ashen.Even the most confident Cheng Hai looked depressed when faced with the situation of not being able to score a goal in 45 minutes.

Today is not only the reason why the Hua Guo team is not in good condition and the opponent is hard-working, Cheng Hai feels that his luck is not very good.

Some balls can obviously form opportunities for breakthroughs or shots in normal times, but they always produce inexplicable deviations, which is almost meaningless.

During the intermission, after Cheng Hai fell asleep, Gao Hongbo gave a scolding to the other players of the Hua Guo team.

This is Gao Hongbo's rare anger.

Because of his qualifications and insufficient support from the Football Association, Gao Hongbo's voice and prestige within the national football team may even be inferior to that of Zheng Zhi, Li Weifeng and other old players.

Therefore, he seldom shows his face to the players, and communicates with good words.

As a result, in today's situation, Gao Hongbo, who has always been good-tempered, couldn't help but get angry. He scolded the other ten starting players except Cheng Hai, making everyone unable to hold their heads up.
