King of the Zone

After advancing to the semi-finals, there is no need to draw lots in the semi-finals. Dortmund will automatically meet Real Madrid led by the madman Mourinho.

There is no doubt that this is another duel like sparks hitting the earth.

Not to mention Dortmund, Cheng Hai's name alone, and the record of beating Arsenal, Marseille, AC Milan, and Chelsea from the group stage to the quarter-finals, is enough to make it the strongest team in the Champions League this season.

And Dortmund's opponents are even more exciting.

First of all, Real Madrid is the team that has won the most championships in the history of the Champions League. So far, it has won the Champions League 9 times, and it is undoubtedly the first in the world.

Secondly, Real Madrid is a team led by the madman Mourinho known as "God first, he second".

Mourinho is a man who has won the Champions League twice, and he won it with two different teams in Porto and Inter Milan.

His Inter Milan is also the first Triple Crown team in the history of Serie A. This season, he also led Real Madrid to the top of the La Liga standings and led Real Madrid to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Therefore, Mourinho absolutely has crazy capital.

Finally, there is the lineup of Real Madrid, known as the Galactic Battleship, this season, with Casillas, Carvalho, Pepe, Ramos, Nuri Shaheen, Khedira, Ronaldo, Kaka, Benzema, Ozil, Granero, Marcelo, Alonso, Altintop, Higuain, Di Maria and so on.

With so many superstars, the starting lineup can't be filled, and some people can't even make it to the big roster.

Nuri Shaheen, who was at the absolute core of the organization in Dortmund, moved to the star-studded Real Madrid. He didn't even get a few chances to come off the bench, but it was too late.

It can be said that Real Madrid's bench lineup is more luxurious than Dortmund's starting lineup.Moreover, their players are not a bunch of veterans like AC Milan, but they are all generals who are in their prime.

Casillas is the goalkeeper, 30 years old is just right.

佩佩28岁、拉莫斯25岁、沙欣22岁、C罗26岁、卡卡29岁、本泽马23岁、厄齐尔22岁、马塞洛23岁、阿隆索29岁、伊瓜因23岁、迪玛利亚23岁……

It can be said that Real Madrid has perfectly integrated the three generations of players, old, middle and young, and they have played extraordinary combat effectiveness in La Liga and the Champions League this season.

It is impossible for Dortmund to defeat each other by dragging down their physical fitness like dragging AC Milan and Chelsea.

If you want to drag your physical fitness, maybe Dortmund will collapse first.

These two Champions League semi-finals are definitely two hard battles.

Speaking of it, it is undoubtedly very difficult for Dortmund's road to the Champions League this season.

In the group stage, Arsenal and Marseille were divided into the death group. They met AC Milan in the 1/8 finals, Chelsea in the quarter-finals, and Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

If you get past Real Madrid, you will meet the winner of another semi-final Barcelona VS Bayern Munich in the final.

Compared with Dortmund's easy road to promotion that always encounters low-level teams in the German Cup, Dortmund's Champions League trip this season can be called a road to hell.

Such a road to promotion, if Dortmund can successfully win the cup in the end, then this gold content is undoubtedly the highest in the previous Champions League, and it can also prove Cheng Hai's strength from the side.

However, before the Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid, Dortmund has three Bundesliga games to play, namely the 29th, 30th, and 31st rounds of the Bundesliga. The opponents are away against Wolfsburg, against Bayern Munich at home, and away against Schalke 04.

In addition to Wolfsburg, Bayern Munich and Schalke 04 are not easy opponents to deal with.

Bayern is the Bundesliga class bully and Dortmund's old rival in the German National Derby.Schalke 04 is the old opponent of the Ruhr Derby. The competition is more intense than the German national derby, and there are more uncontrollable factors.

前面28轮之后，多特蒙德以23胜3平2负积72分的积分位居德甲积分榜第一，拜仁慕尼黑则以60分位居第二，沙尔克04以54分位居第三。

It can be said that Bayern Munich and Schalke 04 can threaten Dortmund no matter in terms of team strength or points ranking.

However, with only 6 rounds left in the game, the difference between Schalke 04 and Dortmund is 18 points, basically there is only a theoretical threat.

But Bayern Munich is different, they are real and can threaten Dortmund's top position.

In addition to the semi-final against Real Madrid, the difficulty of those two games can be imagined.

Therefore, after playing against Chelsea and advancing to the semi-finals, in training before the 29th round of the Bundesliga against Wolfsburg, Klopp held a team mobilization meeting to mobilize all players.

Klopp said at the meeting:
"This season, our German Cup went very smoothly. Before the final, we didn't even meet a Bundesliga team, and we reached the final."

"However, in the Champions League, every step we make is full of thorns, and every opponent is almost all top European giants."

"Being able to reach the semi-finals can be said to be an unexpected good result."

"But this is not enough."

"Although it was Real Madrid that stood in our way in the semi-finals, we had nothing to fear."

"Do you still remember last year's European Super Cup? We defeated the Cosmos team Barcelona to win the championship."

"Being able to beat Barcelona last year, I believe everyone can also beat Real Madrid this year and advance to the final."

"Of course, a football match cannot be advanced by just chanting a few slogans. It is necessary to pay attention to methods and strategies."

"Is Real Madrid one of those low-level opponents in our German Cup? Just sending two people up can solve the battle."

"C Ronaldo, Kaka, Iker Casillas, etc., I believe every name is very familiar to you."

"If you want to get past Real Madrid, it may be more difficult than AC Milan and Chelsea."

"In order to prepare for the semi-finals of the Champions League and concentrate on playing Real Madrid, we need to focus on nothing else, and we need to win the league early."

"Moreover, we have this basis and conditions."

"Now we are 12 points ahead of Bayern Munich in the league with six games left."

"In the 29th round of the league, if we beat Wolfsburg and Bayern also wins, then we will continue to lead Bayern by 12 points, and there are 5 rounds left in the league."

"In the 30th round, we played against Bayern at home. If we can win this game, we will lead Bayern by 4 points and win the championship early with 15 rounds left in the league."

"And if they lose to Bayern in the 30th round, then they must win the 31st round against Schalke 04, and they will lead Bayern by 3 points with only 9 rounds left. As long as they get one point in the rest of the league, they will win the championship in advance."

"This is still based on Bayern's three-round victory, and as long as Bayern draws a game, we will win the championship early."

"Of course, the first condition must be met, that is, we must win at least two of these three league rounds."

"As for the first away game against Wolfsburg, there is no room for loss and we must win."

"Then the second home game against Bayern, we have the possibility of winning the championship early at the Westfalenstadion."

"If the first two consecutive victories win the championship in advance, we can even rotate the third game against Schalke 04, so as to concentrate on preparing for the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid."

"So, from now on, everyone must devote themselves to training and competitions, and strive to win two consecutive victories in the league and win the championship early."

"Do you have any confidence!"

Everyone in the team shouted in unison: "Yes!"

As long as the league wins two consecutive victories, it will win the championship in advance.

In this way, Dortmund can prepare for the semi-finals of the Champions League with the whole team, and strive to defeat Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League and advance to the final.

As long as you enter the finals, you can win the championship.

It is also possible to win the German Cup.

The Bundesliga's first Triple Crown honor is not far away from Dortmund, only a few games away.

Thinking of this scene, everyone's fighting spirit was naturally aroused.

After two days of whole-hearted preparation, at 4:7 on April 15th, the 30th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern vs. Augsburg at home and Dortmund vs. Wolfsburg away at the same time.

The weather in Europe has been bad recently, and it was also raining heavily in this away game, but Wolfsburg's home stadium, the Volkswagen Arena, was also packed.

There are not many home team fans who know that Wolfsburg has a high probability of losing, but there are more than 2 away fans from Dortmund and Cheng Hai's personal fans. Together with a small number of Wolfsburg fans, the Volkswagen Arena is full.

Everyone came to see Cheng Hai break the world record.

Previously, Cheng Hai had scored 67 goals in the Bundesliga this season, tying Scotsman Archer Stark's 1924 goals for Bethlehem Steel in the 1925/67 American Football League season.

In this away game against Wolfsburg, countless people believe that Cheng Hai will definitely score a goal and create a new world record.

At the same time, this is also the 100th official game of Cheng Hai's career including the club and the national team, which is of milestone significance.

In the landmark 100th professional game, setting a world record for total goals scored in a single season in the top league of global football is exciting to think about.

That's why so many Dortmund fans and Cheng Hai's personal fans came to fill up the Volkswagen Arena in the heavy rain.

In the heavy rain, many fans of Cheng Hai held signs or banners with the words "Cheng Hai's 100 games" and "100 milestones" printed on them to cheer for Cheng Hai.

Of course, there are also signs or banners with the "68-ball world record", but not many people have raised them yet.Presumably, when Cheng Hai really scored a goal, such signs and banners would flood out.

After the game started, although Wolfsburg knew that it was unlikely to stop Cheng Hai's goal, they still had to work hard.

They don't want to be the background king of Cheng Hai breaking the world record, and will be mentioned repeatedly in various articles and TV in the future.

Therefore, Wolfsburg learned from AC Milan and Chelsea, and strictly defended Cheng Hai's offense and counterattack.

However, how can Wolfsburg's defensive players compare with AC Milan's Nesta, Van Bommel, Boateng, Seedorf, and Chelsea's Terry, David Silva, Essien, Lampard and others?

The same two people defended Cheng Hai, the players of AC Milan and Chelsea could barely stop Cheng Hai, but the players of Wolfsburg couldn't stop him at all.

In the 5th minute of the opening, Cheng Hai took the ball and faced the interception of two Wolfsburg midfielders. As a result, he made a simple pick and then used his full physique and speed to forcefully rush between the two. The closed defense of the two Wolfsburg players failed to stop Cheng Hai.

When the two reached out to the referee to signal Cheng Hai to foul, Cheng Hai had already dribbled the ball towards Wolfsburg's penalty area.

If it hadn't been for the opponent's defender flying to block the hole in the final shot, Cheng Hai might have scored a goal in the 5th minute of the opening.

Even so, the long-awaited first goal of Cheng Hai did not take too long.

Cheng Hai's personal strength is too great to face the mid-range team Wolfsburg at the Bundesliga level.

Although it is not easy to pass and cut the ground in the heavy rain, Cheng Hai still has a full-value volley!
At the same time, Cheng Hai's full-value stopping and picking skills allow Cheng Hai to control the ball in the air far better than ordinary players.

After several mistakes in passing and cutting in the rain, in the 12th minute, right back Gross Kreutz suddenly dribbled the ball in from the side. After hitting the wall with his teammates, he went to the right side of the front field, and then made a diagonal pass, sending the ball to Cheng Hai near the front of the penalty area.

However, the ball lagged a bit, Cheng Hai could only turn his back to the goal to stop the ball.

Wolfsburg defender Ma Delun, who was stuck behind Cheng Hai, even felt that he had succeeded in defending. He didn't let Cheng Hai face the goal and volleyed directly. Cheng Hai was forced to turn his back to the goal and couldn't shoot at all.

At the same time, another defender, Ricardo, tried to reach out to Cheng Hai to grab the ball, but was blocked by Cheng Hai with his body, unable to grab the ball.

Just when both of them were about to wait for Cheng Hai to unload the ball, they rushed up or even tackled the ball, but they saw that Cheng Hai didn't stop the ball at all, but raised his right foot in front of the falling ball, and the ball went over the heads of himself and Madron, and let the ball fall to the big penalty area behind him.

The moment he finished picking the ball, Cheng Hai turned around and wiped it from the left side of Ma Delun's body, entering the penalty area.

Ma Delun and Ricardo, who were separated by Cheng Hai's body from behind and beside him, were caught off guard and failed to react in time. As a result, they watched Cheng Hai complete a turn from Ma Delun's side, enter the penalty area and swung his right leg to face the ball passed by him.

Full-value stopping and dribbling skills, plus a little luck, made Cheng Hai's dribbling without unloading the ball perfect.

Not only did he successfully pick the tops of him and Madron, but he also turned around and entered the penalty area with just the right shot.

Of course, Ma Delun didn't allow himself to be broken through so easily, and he also wanted to watch Cheng Hai shoot.

Therefore, although Ma Delun, who turned around after Cheng Hai, couldn't get stuck in his position and could only watch Cheng Hai shoot, he still tried his best to push Cheng Hai, trying to make Cheng Hai lose his balance and affect his shooting.

Cheng Hai was indeed affected a little by Ma Delun's pushing and tugging, but not much.

After all, Cheng Hai still has a full physique and balance skills!

Moreover, the experience brought by the long-term competition also let Cheng Hai know that he will definitely be pushed or pulled by the opponent.

Therefore, Cheng Hai was actually ready to be pushed or pulled by the opponent, and adjusted his center of gravity the moment Ma Delun stretched out his hand, maintaining his body balance.

Although still a little bit affected, but not much.

On the football field, it is unavoidable for a top striker to complete a goal under the interference of the opponent, and Cheng Hai has long been used to it.

Therefore, Cheng Hai finally resisted Ma Delun's push and finished the shot.

I saw him rushing into the penalty area from the side of Madron, and before the ball he picked into the penalty area fell to the ground, he swung his right leg and volleyed the ball.

The ball immediately flew towards Wolfsburg's goal like a shell.

Then, Cheng Hai lost his center of gravity and was pushed into the penalty area by Ma Delun.However, the ball he volleyed and kicked has unswervingly flew towards Wolfsburg's goal.

Cheng Hai's performance in the offense this time, whether it was a sudden pick to pass the ball or a volley that rushed into the penalty area to stabilize his figure, was completed perfectly.

If Gross Kreutz received the air pass from the outside of the penalty area and did not pick the ball, but tried to unload it and dribble with his feet, there is a high probability that he will be destroyed by the opponent.

And after picking the ball into the penalty area, if you don't volley, there is also a high probability that you will be pushed down by Madron, or blocked by other defenders rushing from the side.

It was the perfect connection between Cheng Hai's pick and turn volley that caught Madron and Ricardo off guard, and also made Cheng Hai complete the shot before the other defenders on the side of the penalty area had time to block the shooting angle.

Cheng Hai's final volley was also quite perfect.

It was originally a violent volley in the penalty area, but it was powerful, fast and had a tricky angle.

In the end, although goalkeeper Benalio made a save response, he was completely beyond his reach. He was still in the air and watched the ball fly into the goal from a long distance in front of his palm.

In the 12th minute of the first half, Cheng Hai scored his first goal of the game with a perfect pick-up + volley in the penalty area, which was also his 68th goal in the Bundesliga this season. It officially broke the world record of 1924 goals scored by Scotsman Archer Stark for the Bethlehem Steel in the American Football League in the 1925/67 American Football League season, creating a new world record for Cheng Hai alone.
