King of the Zone

On December 2011, 12, the Paul Jans Stadium, the home stadium of the Bundesliga team Düsseldorf, which can accommodate more than 20 spectators, was full.

Originally, a German Cup match of a Bundesliga team, even if the opponent is the Bundesliga giant Dortmund, is not enough to attract enough spectators to fill up all the more than 5 seats.

In fact, it can be seen from the fact that Düsseldorf has less than 3 home fans.

However, the remaining more than 2 seats were filled with Dortmund fans, Chinese and overseas Chinese, personal fans of Cheng Hai, journalists, scouts and so on.

Probably because this is Cheng Hai's last game in 2011.Before this game, Cheng Hai's total scoring record in 2011 had already reached 149 goals, and he was about to break through the 150-goal mark.

The previous world record for the total number of goals in a year was the record of 1972 goals created by Gerd Muller in 85. That record had been maintained for 39 years before Cheng Hai, nearly 40 years.

Before Cheng Hai, people even thought that Gerd Muller's 85 goals in the year were a miracle, and it was completed in an era when defense was not valued.

In modern football, which pays more attention to defense, it is impossible for anyone to break Gerd Müller's annual world record of 85 goals.

However, unexpectedly, Cheng Hai was born. At the age of less than 20 years old, he not only broke Gerd Muller's record, raised the record to a three-digit level, and even raised the record to 149 goals close to 150 goals.

It's a jaw-dropping, unbelievable record, but it happened.

Moreover, in today's last game of 2011, the opponent is still a team from the Bundesliga Bundesliga, and its strength is lackluster. Everyone believes that in such a game, even if the opponent goes all out to defend Cheng Hai against such an opponent, they will not be able to defend.

Ninety-nine percent of Cheng Hai can score goals, breaking through the annual 150-goal mark.

That's why so many non-home team fans worked tirelessly to come to the away game, trying to witness Cheng Hai's annual record of 150 goals.

Everyone is waiting for the moment when Cheng Hai scores a goal and breaks through the 150-goal mark for the year.

Of course, for Dortmund's rivals Dusseldorf, this is not a moment to look forward to.

If Cheng Hai scores a goal and breaks through the 150-goal mark, then they will definitely become the news background for Cheng Hai to swipe the screen in the media.

Even if they are weak, even if they are a Bundesliga team, they don't want to have such a background.

Therefore, at 21:30 in the evening, after the third round of the 2011/2012 German FA Cup match between Düsseldorf VS Dortmund, Düsseldorf at home sent out a 541 defensive formation to strictly guard the area within 30 meters of the goal.

Of course, the key target is Cheng Hai.

They are doing their best to prevent Cheng Hai from scoring, and they don't even pay much attention to counterattacks.

With the strength of their Bundesliga team facing the top of the Bundesliga, when facing Dortmund's attack led by Cheng Hai, they really have no time to think about attacking and scoring.

It is their strategy and tactics to defend with all their strength and try to drag the game into overtime, or even a penalty shootout.

In the first 20 minutes, Dusseldorf's defense did achieve good results.

Because they are playing at home, they enter the state faster and are very hard on defense. This is the last game of this year. After the game, they will enter the winter break, and there is no need to consider the issue of preserving physical fitness.

Therefore, under the concerted efforts and defense of Dusseldorf players, Dortmund failed to score a goal in the first 20 minutes.

Even Cheng Hai, faced with two or three people around him defending and interfering at any time, it is difficult to even get the ball, let alone shoot.

The only attack was when Cheng Hai shot 13 meters away from the goal in the 28th minute. Unfortunately, the distance was too far. Even though Cheng Hai's shot went straight to the dead corner, goalkeeper Michel Lataisak still saved the ball with enough time to save.

In addition, Cheng Hai had no other chances to shoot.

But it seems that there are no goals, and there are few threatening shots, but Cheng Hai and his teammates are not without any results in these 20 minutes.

Because the strength gap between the two sides is too great, even though the Düsseldorf players entered the game state earlier and defended resolutely, Cheng Hai and his teammates still passed and received the ball, made personal breakthroughs, etc., causing fouls and yellow cards for the two midfielders of the opponent.

Only 20 minutes into the game, two defensive players received yellow cards.It can be seen how hard and strenuous the Düsseldorf players defended in order to defend Dortmund and Cheng Hai.

As time went by, Cheng Hai and his teammates gradually entered the game state, and the opponent had two more players who became afraid to fight so hard because of the yellow cards.

Finally, in the 26th minute, the midfielder Bozek, who had already received a yellow card, made a mistake.

Taking the ball outside Cheng Hai's penalty area and breaking through the defenses of two people in a row, when he was about to enter the penalty area, Bozek, who was rushing from the side, hesitated for a moment. Instead of shoveling, he tried to rush over to Cheng Hai, causing Cheng Hai to lose his center of gravity and control of the ball.

However, with Cheng Hai's height, weight, physique, balance ability, and dribbling skills, how could he lose control of the ball by a Bundesliga player?
If he shovels in time and decisively, he may have a chance to shovel Cheng Hai's ball. Even if he can't shovel, he can stop Cheng Hai with a foul and prevent Cheng Hai from taking the ball into the penalty area and scoring a goal.

However, it was precisely because he had received a yellow card before that Bozek hesitated a little. Instead of taking extreme defensive actions such as side shovels, he hoped to use his body to charge and let Cheng Hai lose control of the ball.

He immediately regretted it.

Because when his shoulder collided with Cheng Hai, even though he added the pushing movement with his hands, Cheng Hai didn't fall to the side and lose control of the ball, but just shook his body, but he pushed the ball forward without stopping, and continued to catch up.

But Bozek himself was left behind by Cheng Hai's instant dribbling acceleration, and he staggered because of the collision just now, losing his defense against Cheng Hai.

At this time, unless he tackled the ball from behind Cheng Hai, he could stop Cheng Hai.

But at this time, Cheng Hai had already brought the ball to the line of the penalty area. If Bozek shoveled, Cheng Hai would definitely fall in the penalty area.

In this situation, he is no longer allowed to shovel from behind.

It's not only a matter of fouling and receiving a card, but also giving Cheng Hai a penalty kick. What's the difference between sending Cheng Hai a ball?
It's better to leave hope to the teammates in the penalty area!
There were indeed people in the penalty area, but because Cheng Hai and his teammates passed and cut outside the penalty area just now, and Cheng Hai passed three people in a row, in fact, there was only one central defender Asani Lukimya standing in front of him in the penalty area.

And Cheng Hai didn't need to break through Lukimya, he just swayed from an angle and volleyed immediately after dribbling into the penalty area through spiking and dribbling rhythm changes.

The ball passed in front of Lukimya's outstretched toes, and ran towards the lower right corner of the goal against the turf.

Goalkeeper Rata Isaac has been paying attention to Cheng Hai, and rushed out the moment Cheng Hai shot.

However, Cheng Hai's shot was perfect under the full-value shooting skills. The ball went straight to the dead corner. Although Rata Isaac tried his best to make a save at the first time, he was still beyond his reach. He could only watch helplessly.

In the 26th minute of the first half, Cheng Hai dribbled the ball past three people into the penalty area and scored a low shot. While helping Dortmund take a 1-0 lead, he also refreshed his annual scoring record in 2011 to the height of 150 goals.

In an instant, more than 2 away fans at the Paul Jans Stadium screamed and cheered enthusiastically. Even some of the Dusseldorf fans of the home team stood up and applauded Cheng Hai.

In the commentary booth, commentators from countless national TV stations around the world shouted excitedly in various languages:

"The ball is in, it's in, it's in, it's in..."

"The 150th ball!"

"Cheng Hai scored his 2011th goal in 150, it's unbelievable, unbelievable!"

"Someone actually scored 150 goals in one year!"

"Before Cheng Hai, I absolutely did not believe that anyone could do this!"

"But now, Cheng Hai has really done it!"

"There is no doubt that Cheng Hai is the most powerful striker in the world, the striker who can score the most goals, the real striker overlord, the king of the penalty area!"

Amidst the screams of the fans, Cheng Hai and his teammates celebrated for more than half a minute before returning to their own half to allow Dusseldorf to kick off again.

After the game restarted, the game lost its suspense.

Because the meaning of Dusseldorf preventing Cheng Hai from scoring and breaking through the 150-goal mark no longer exists.

Therefore, Dusseldorf actually played some counterattacks in the next game.Because, even though they know the huge gap in strength, they still fantasize about being able to eliminate Dortmund and advance to the next round of the German Cup.

But the final score tells everyone that when the gap in strength is too large, it is difficult for luck to favor weak teams.

After 90 minutes, the score on the big screen was 0-5, with the home team Düsseldorf in front and the visiting team Dortmund behind.

Below the score is the name of the scorer, among which Cheng Hai's name appeared three times, proving that Cheng Hai had performed a hat-trick.

In the end, Cheng Hai's total goals in 2011 was fixed at 152 goals, which is the final number of Cheng Hai's total goals in 2011.

As some media declared after the game: 152 goals in the year is simply a god-like figure, an unsurpassable limit!

Except for Cheng Hai himself, such a record is absolutely unprecedented and unprecedented, and it is impossible for anyone to surpass it.
