King of the Zone

在全世界对多特蒙德5-0屠杀AC米兰的持续热议中，2012年3月9日，2014年巴西世界杯亚洲区预选赛十强小组赛抽签仪式在马来西亚吉隆坡亚足联总部举行。

Although the Hua Guo team's record has soared in the past year or so due to Cheng Hai's joining, they have won consecutive victories and won the Asian Cup Championship, and their points have risen fiercely.

However, because FIFA points are not counted for one year, but based on the performance of the past five years, the Hua Guo team did not rank among the top two seeds in Asia when they were drawn for the top ten matches based on the latest FIFA rankings. Instead, they ranked 5th in the world, ranking fourth in Asia after Australia, South Korea, and Japan.

This is already the highest ranking in the history of the national football team, but it is dangerous for the top two first-tier teams, because the second-ranked Hua Guo team may be drawn to join them.

As a result, the South Korean team was unlucky.

After South Korea and Australia were divided into Groups A and B, when the second-tier teams were drawn, the Hua Guo team was drawn into Group A, together with the South Korean team.Japan was drawn to Group B, and Australia breathed a sigh of relief.

It is much better to play against Japan than against China.

Of course, in the case of two direct qualifying places, if the third-ranked Iranian team is not drawn into Group A, the situation for the South Korean team to qualify is relatively easy.

However, what makes the South Koreans even more depressed is that the Iranian team, which ranked third, was also drawn into Group A.

In the end, the results of the top ten draw were announced. Group A consisted of South Korea, China, Iran, Uzbekistan, and Lebanon, while Group B consisted of Australia, Japan, Jordan, Oman, and Qatar.

Uzbekistan's strength is not bad, ranking 68th in the world, ranking sixth in Asia after Iran.

As a result, Group A with China, South Korea, Iran, and Uzbekistan undoubtedly became the death group. Four strong teams competed for two direct qualifying places.

But in fact, the Hua Guo team with Cheng Hai has already almost automatically occupied a qualifying spot.

The Hua Guo team is No. [-] in Asia in name, but in fact it is the undisputed No. [-] in Asia, and it is the No. [-] in Asia whose strength far surpasses other teams.

Just because the Huaguo team has the world's number one striker: Cheng Hai.

Therefore, South Korea, Iran, and Uzbekistan will fight for a qualifying place, and the color of death in Group A is stronger than that of the top ten matches of any world preliminaries.

The top ten games will not start until June, so let's concentrate on playing the club games now!

After the top ten draw ceremony, on the second day, in the 25th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund challenged Augsburg away.

In the last shopping battle with AC Milan, although Dortmund won a 5-0 victory and advanced to the quarter-finals with their heads held high, in fact, the sequelae caused by the high position of the audience was still very large.

One player suffered cramps during the game, and two other players suffered muscle strains in the daily training after that game and needed to rest and had to miss the away game against Augsburg.

In this away game, Klopp had to carry out a large-scale rotation. Only Weidenfeller, Hummels, Gundogan, and Cheng Hai were left as the main players in the starting lineup. Everyone else was rotated.

In addition, there was heavy rain in this game, which had a great impact on the on-the-spot status of the players on both sides. Dortmund was also unlucky, and finally drew 1-1 with Augsburg in the away game.

Cheng Hai scored the only goal for Dortmund through a violent volley about 20 meters from the goal outside the penalty area, but it still failed to bring victory to the team.

However, it has no effect on Dortmund's points ranking.

Because even if they are tied by their opponents, after this round, Dortmund still leads No.2 Bayern Munich by as many as 14 points. Bayern needs to win all 5 games and Dortmund lose all before they can catch up.

There are only 9 rounds left in the league.

Dortmund's road to defending the Bundesliga title is basically stable, even if Bayern Munich beat Hoffenheim 7-1 at home in this round, it is useless.

However, in the next round, Dortmund will face the challenge of a strong team Werder Bremen.

The day before the game, UEFA held the UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw ceremony. As a result, Dortmund was so lucky that they ran into Chelsea, the Premier League team that had just experienced a coaching change.

Last summer, Chelsea fired Ancelotti, who failed to help the team beat Manchester United to win the Premier League title, and signed with Mourinho's assistant and Porto coach Villas-Boas.

Unexpectedly, Villas-Boas failed to help Chelsea achieve a rebound. Instead, they had no away wins in the Champions League group stage. They barely advanced to the top 1 based on their home results. In the end, they lost 8-1 to Naples in the first leg of the 3/[-] finals, facing the danger of being out of the game.

Coupled with the resistance of Chelsea veterans, on March 3, Villas-Boas was dismissed from get out of class, assistant coach Roberto DiMatteo stepped in, and miraculously achieved a comeback in the second round and entered the quarterfinals.

However, the coach was changed at the beginning of the season, and the coach was changed again on March 3. From the second in the Premier League last season to the fifth in the Premier League so far this season, the team's core players Lampard, Drogba, Terry, Ashley Cole and other veterans, like AC Milan, are all over 4 years old.

Although the average age of the team is not as old as AC Milan, it is not too young.

In anyone's opinion, this Chelsea team is not the opponent of Borussia Dortmund who just 5-0 bloodbathed AC Milan.

The players and coaches of Dortmund are also relatively happy, thinking that this is a good opponent and should be able to advance easily.

After the quarter-final draw ceremony, on the second day, Dortmund sat at home and ushered in the 26th round of the Bundesliga with Werder Bremen.

Only three days later in this round of the league, Dortmund will usher in the semi-finals of the German Cup.

Although the opponent is Fürth, another Bundesliga team, but because the German Cup semi-final is a decisive game, there is no room for mistakes.

Fürth eliminated the Bundesliga team Hoffenheim in the last round and advanced to the semi-finals. He still has some hard work and dark horse quality.

In the Bundesliga, Dortmund has too many advantages and has a relatively large room for error.

Therefore, in the 26th round of the Bundesliga against Werder Bremen, Klopp continued to rotate and sent a half-main and half-substitute lineup.

This lineup of half main force and half substitute did not perform well, and was blocked by Werder Bremen at the Westfalenstadion and almost capsized.

Fortunately, Cheng Hai's performance was as trustworthy as ever, and finally scored twice to help Dortmund win a small 2-1 home victory.

在这场比赛上演梅开二度之后，程海2011/2012赛季的德甲进球已经达到了59粒，距离英格兰埃弗顿俱乐部的威廉·迪恩在1927/1928赛季创下的60球欧洲五大顶级联赛单赛季最高纪录已经只差一个球了。

Last season, Cheng Hai broke Gerd Muller's Bundesliga single-season record with 45 goals in a single season.

This season, Cheng Hai may break the single-season scoring record of the five top leagues, and he is only one goal away from the record.

In the next Bundesliga game, as long as Cheng Hai scores a goal, he will equal this record.And as long as he scores two goals, Cheng Hai will create a new record for the highest scoring in a single season in the top five European leagues.

This record does not make much sense to ordinary people, but fans and media reporters who know a little bit about football know how difficult this record is.

Because the study of offense and defense in early football was not so in-depth, everyone thought that the only fun and result of football was to score goals.

Therefore, from the initial 1-0-10 formation, to 1-1-9 formation, to 1-2-8 formation, etc., most of the players were forwards and did not take defense seriously at all.

Even in the era of William Dean, the most popular formation was 235, and even the 433 four-back formation had not yet appeared.

This kind of defensive strength is almost useless for modern football.

Therefore, it is commonplace for England's top league to score more than 30 Golden Boot goals in a single season in the early days. It is not surprising that more than 40 goals have been scored, and more than 50 goals have appeared many times.

But with the development and evolution of football tactics, after entering the 90s, Europe's top leagues have paid more and more attention to defense, and it has become more and more difficult for forwards to score goals. It is often the case that only [-] goals can win the top league golden boot, and [-] goals can win the European golden boot.

In the most extreme 2004/2005 season, Thierry Henry of Premier League Arsenal and Diego Forlan of La Liga Villarreal both scored 25 league goals and won the European Golden Boot of that season.

In modern football where defense is becoming more and more important and goals are becoming more and more difficult, the five major leagues have not seen a Golden Boot with more than 40 goals in a single season for decades, let alone 50 goals.

As for William Dean's record of scoring 60 goals in a single season in the five top leagues, it is regarded as an ancient miracle that cannot be surpassed, and it is impossible for modern football to surpass it.

As a result, when Cheng Hai appeared, this record became no longer so unattainable, even Cheng Hai was only one ball away from touching this record, and would soon break this record.

Some media said that Cheng Hai is the most talented genius in football history, even more talented than Ronaldinho and Pele.

However, this is just the words of one or two media, and has not been widely recognized.

To be widely recognized by the whole world, Cheng Hai needs to achieve extremely high achievements and honors.

2012年3月20日晚上21:30，菲尔特VS多特蒙德的2011/2012赛季德国杯半决赛在菲尔特的主场朗霍夫体育公园球场正式开始。

This season Dortmund has gone quite smoothly in the German domestic league and cup competitions.

With a huge lead in the league, there is a high probability that they will win the championship many rounds in advance.In the German Cup, all the weak teams that were not in the Bundesliga were encountered along the way, almost recommending Dortmund to the final.

Dortmund has a high probability of winning the Bundesliga and German Cup double this season.

As for the Champions League, it is currently unknown, and we must continue to fight.

But there is no doubt that this season is the closest Dortmund has ever come to the Triple Crown, and both players and coaches are eager for it.

There is no room for error.

Therefore, even if the opponent in this German Cup semi-final is only a Bundesliga team, Dortmund still sent a full main lineup and went all out to ensure victory over the opponent and reach the final.

After the game, everyone couldn't help sighing that Dortmund and Klopp's prudence and all-out efforts were right.

If you underestimate the enemy a little bit, maybe Dortmund will really capsize in the gutter.

As a Bundesliga team, Fürth can reach the semi-finals of the German Cup. In fact, their strength is already at the Bundesliga level.

In addition, now that they have entered the semi-finals, they are only one game away from the final and two games away from the championship. If they win the championship, they can even play in the European competition of the Europa League.

Therefore, Fürth's players don't need to be mobilized, and their fighting spirit and morale are much higher than those of Dortmund.

In the game, Fürth's players spared no effort in fighting and defending, even worse than Dortmund's second game against AC Milan.

But Dortmund was not as prepared as AC Milan this time, and was almost dragged down by the opponent like AC Milan.

Fortunately, Cheng Hai and the others were all young and strong young men, so they persisted in the end and were not dragged down by the other party.

Even so, amidst the hoarse cheers of more than 8000 home fans in the Langhof Sports Park, Fürth almost froze Cheng Hai by their running back and forth with thigh cramps and fierce defense, allowing him to score only one goal in the end.

Moreover, Felt himself scored two goals with great luck.

Fortunately, Dortmund has Cheng Haihai and other teammates, and after Cheng Hai is frozen, he can still assist.

In this game, after Cheng Hai attracted most of Fürth's defensive attention, he passed the ball and assisted Shinji Kagawa and Mario Gotze to hit the ball respectively.

In the end, relying on a goal and two assists from Cheng Hai, Dortmund defeated the Bundesliga team Fürth 3-2 in an away game and advanced to the German Cup.

As mentioned above, Dortmund won the semi-finals of the German Cup with seemingly great disparity in strength. They only won one goal and almost capsized in the gutter.

After the game, even Cheng Hai expressed in an interview that he felt lingering fears, saying that Fürth's performance is worthy of respect, and that Dortmund's ability to enter the German Cup final is a blessing from God.

Of course, in fact, both of Fürth's goals had an element of luck, and the successful defense against Dortmund also had a lot of luck in it.

But in any case, with the lineup and strength of a Bundesliga team, they can push Dortmund and Cheng Hai to this point in the German Cup semi-finals, and they are enough to leave with pride.

The same is true of the media reports after the game. All the media and fans expressed respect for Fürth's performance.

Of course, football is a game where the winner is king. No matter how unfortunate it is, Fürth was eliminated when he was eliminated. After all, their dark horse road did not last to the final.

And Dortmund reached the German Cup final this season.

The next day, another semi-final came to an end, with Bayern Munich's unsurprising victory over Borussia Monchengladbach to advance to the final.

In the German Cup final of the 2011/2012 season, Bayern Munich VS Borussia Dortmund will be staged in the German national derby.

However, the German Cup final will have to wait until May, and Dortmund will continue to compete in the Bundesliga and the Champions League.

Speaking of it, since the 5-0 massacre of AC Milan, Dortmund's team has been in a bad state. First, it was tied 25-1 by Augsburg in the 1th round of the Bundesliga, and then it was difficult to beat Werder Bremen 26-2 in the 1th round. Finally, it was almost overturned by the Bundesliga team in the just-concluded German Cup semi-final.

Perhaps it was the 5-0 massacre of AC Milan that consumed too much energy for everyone, so the next few games seemed sluggish and in poor condition, and it was extremely difficult to play three consecutive games.

Therefore, after defeating Fürth 3-2 to advance to the German Cup final, Klopp gave the Dortmund team two full days off to let everyone take a good rest.

It was not until March 3 that everyone returned to the training base and resumed daily training.

After two days of sufficient rest, the team's mental outlook and state really improved a lot.

On March 3th, in the 25th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund played away against Cologne, and everyone finally played a hearty victory.

6-1! ! !

The final score was 6-1!

Dortmund slaughtered the Cologne team in the opponent's away game in front of many opponents' home fans.

Cheng Hai kicked his head and kicked his feet in this game, and staged a terrifying five-goal performance in a single game.

In this regard, the Cologne people expressed their helplessness and despair.

Because, apart from the Kai Hua Guo team's games in Asia, Cheng Hai has so far played five goals in a single game twice for the Dortmund club, but the opponents were both the Cologne team. (Note: This is only about five goals in a single game, six goals and above are not counted)

In the 10th round of the Bundesliga in the first half of the season, Dortmund played against Cologne at home. Cheng Hai scored five goals in a single game for the first time at the club, leading Dortmund to an 8-0 bloodbath against Cologne at home.

Unexpectedly, in the second half of the season, when Cheng Hai switched to Cologne's home court, Cheng Hai, who had been in a slump for several games, was bumped into by Cologne just as soon as he recovered.

Cheng Hai's club scored five goals in a single game for the second time, and was hit by the Cologne team again.

After the game, many media said that the Cologne team was innocent. Chenghai Club's only two single-game five goals were all hit by the Cologne team. It was really miserable.

Of course, apart from the five goals in a single game, the most worthy of media and fans’ reports and heated discussions in this game is that Cheng Hai broke William Dean’s 64-goal single-season scoring record in the top European leagues in the 1927/1928 season with 60 goals.

According to some Huaguo fans who like online novels, Cheng Hai's performance is definitely worthy of a hot word: terrifying.
