Chapter 164 Not a Ball Bully

Bayern Munich, which was two goals behind, naturally wanted to score an equalizer.

But Bayern, with only three offensive players Robben, Ribery, and Gomez, is indeed somewhat powerless in offense, and often misses halfway through the offense.

Whether it is dribbling ability or breakthrough ability, as well as speed, physique, etc., they cannot be compared with Cheng Hai.

After conceding the ball a few times and being counterattacked by Cheng Hai, Bayern Munich's strict defense against Cheng Hai was even stricter, especially the early prediction method they invented, and the interception in advance according to Cheng Hai's running direction, which really made Cheng Hai's threat greatly reduced.

However, Cheng Hai is not the only one in Dortmund.

In the case of Bayern's strict defense against Cheng Hai, which has been predicted in advance and intercepted and defended, other Dortmund players will naturally get more gaps and shooting opportunities.

So, in the 42nd minute, Bayern conceded the ball again.

Although the goal was not directly related to Cheng Hai, it was neither his shot nor his assist, but it was Cheng Hai who attracted the attention of four Bayern defenders through his running position, and then let Lewandowski run out of the gap.

The first half is not over yet, Dortmund has already led Bayern Munich 3-0, which can be called one-sided!

With the advantage of three goals behind, no one thinks that Bayern can change their fate against the sky.

The Miracle of Istanbul is called a Miracle because it is so rare.

At the same time, Cheng Hai's physical fitness, running ability, speed, coverage, etc. displayed in the first half also became the hot topic of commentators during the intermission.

"It's amazing! Cheng Hai's half-time running distance reached 8.37 kilometers, which is longer than the running distance of many players in a game!"

"You know, Cheng Hai is a striker, not a midfielder!"

"I didn't expect Cheng Hai's physical fitness to suddenly rise to such a good level."

"In addition to running distance, Cheng Hai's defensive contribution in this game is not small."

"He used his suddenly soaring physical strength and speed to cover a wide area from Bayern's penalty area to Dortmund's penalty area. Not only did he help Dortmund achieve a 3-0 lead in offense, but also let Bayern's offense achieve nothing."

"The Robben and Ribery wings, let alone scored goals in the first half of this game, almost never made a threatening shot inside the goal frame."

"Bayern Munich's only threatening shot in the first half was a long-range shot from outside the penalty area by Gomez. The angle was too right and it was easily confiscated by Weidenfeller. It is really not a threat."

"However, Cheng Hai was replaced by Klopp after only half of the game, so we don't know whether Cheng Hai's sudden soaring physical fitness can support him to play the whole game."

"Today, maybe we can verify it."

As the commentators said, everyone was very curious about whether Cheng Hai could hold on to the full court and complete his first full court in an official game of the club.

This is a completely different defensive difficulty and signal for all Dortmund's next opponents.

Everyone naturally hoped that Cheng Hai would not be able to hold on to the audience.

If Cheng Hai's half-time outburst was just an overdraft of physical fitness and he had to be replaced during the intermission, it would undoubtedly be a good signal for Dortmund's next opponents.

And once Cheng Hai can really insist on playing the whole game, it will be a nightmare for any opponent of Dortmund.

Dortmund's coaches and teammates naturally know that Cheng Hai's current physical fitness is enough to support him to play the whole game.

Whether it was the training in the previous two days or Cheng Hai's own answer, the coaches and teammates knew this.

But for Klopp, he also needs to consider the bigger picture.

With a 3-0 lead in the first half and almost certain to win the championship early, Klopp is going to put smoke bombs on Real Madrid.

He wanted Cheng Hai to be replaced in advance during the half-time break just like the last game, and then released a smoke bomb after the game that "Cheng Hai's running like halftime can't last until the second half", misleading Real Madrid, making them mistakenly think that Cheng Hai's physical fitness has not increased too much, and he can't last the whole game.

Klopp wants to use this method to get a greater winning percentage in the Champions League semi-finals.

But in the end, when he wanted Cheng Hai to be replaced midway this time, Cheng Hai expressed his opposition.

After asking about Klopp's plan, Cheng Hai said bluntly:
"The semi-finals of the Champions League consist of two rounds. After the first round, my physical condition will be exposed."

"What's more, I don't think we need to do such small tricks against Real Madrid."

"Let me finish this game, score more goals and create more psychological pressure on them."

"At the same time, even if they know that I'm physically fit and mentally prepared, they won't be able to guard me during the actual competition."

"I have [-] per cent confidence in beating Real Madrid."

Hearing what Cheng Hai said, Klopp was a little unhappy.

He is not a good guy, but a head coach with a strong personality and personality. The decisions he makes, not to mention the players, even the members of the coaching staff rarely dare to object.

It's a pity that Cheng Hai is not an ordinary player.

Cheng Hai has already become a representative figure and superstar of Dortmund. Even the team owner has to be careful in front of Cheng Hai, for fear of offending him.

In case Cheng Hai said something wrong with the club to the media, it would definitely be the club, not Cheng Hai, who was criticized by the fans and the media.

Therefore, even if Klopp is the head coach of the team, Cheng Hai's opinion must be respected.

Cheng Hai has become the existence in the locker room who is not a ball bully but a ball bully.

Klopp also wanted to persuade Cheng Hai to cooperate with his strategic arrangement, but Cheng Hai did not compromise.

For Cheng Hai, it is becoming more and more difficult to upgrade now. He does not want to miss every game and every goal.

In the UEFA Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, if he hadn't acquired the skill of physical fitness, he might not have such great confidence and confidence.

But after gaining physical fitness and solving the biggest shortcoming, Cheng Hai didn't have any worries.

With so many perfect skills of his full value, combined with his undying physical fitness, if he can't score Real Madrid's goal, this system is too useless.

Therefore, if exposure is exposure, Cheng Hai doesn't care. What he cares more about is playing the game for an extra half, scoring at least one or two more goals, and accumulating more experience.

With the system in hand, he doesn't believe he can't lead Dortmund to win against Real Madrid.

What's more, in the history of football, it is not unheard of for a three-goal lead to be equalized. The most typical one is the Miracle Night in Istanbul.

Therefore, although Dortmund's 3-0 lead has a high probability of securing the victory, it cannot be called [-]%.

Once Cheng Hai leaves the field and loses his deterrent power against Bayern Munich, and Bayern counterattacks across the board, it is unclear whether Bayern will equalize or even reverse the score.

Bayern is a team with strong mental willpower and often staged major reversals.

As long as he is on the court, even if he doesn't score in the second half, he can deter the opponent and make the opponent dare not attack with all his strength, so as to ensure that he wins the game and wins the championship in advance.

And once he wins the championship, he will be able to complete the system tasks and get skill point rewards.And you can also win the season triple crown when you have already won the European Super Cup and German Super Cup at the beginning of the season, and you will get an additional random skill reward.

If a useful offensive skill is drawn, and the skill points for completing system tasks are used to add it, wouldn't the strength skyrocket again?
Against Real Madrid he will be more sure.

Of course, this reason cannot be told to Klopp. Cheng Hai persuaded Klopp with the reason that he was afraid of being reversed by Bayern in the second half.

Cheng Hai's meaning was very clear, that is, to ensure that there are no accidents in the second half of the game, to ensure that Dortmund wins the championship in advance, and that the whole team can train and prepare for the Champions League semi-finals in the following time, without having to worry about the league.

Cheng Hai's reason also sounded very legitimate, coupled with Cheng Hai's status in the team, so in the end Klopp still made a concession, agreed to Cheng Hai's request, and did not say anything about replacing Cheng Hai.

The other players hardly interrupted the whole process, but everyone saw Cheng Hai's status from this incident. Even Klopp had a lot of concerns about Cheng Hai, which also confirmed Cheng Hai's current reputation and popularity from the side.

Then, after the start of the second half of the game, everyone discovered that Cheng Hai had not been substituted, and he continued to stay on the court.

This is naturally not good news for Bayern Munich.

Bayern made a midfield substitution, removed a midfielder Timoshchuk, and replaced it with a striker Thomas Muller, preparing to strengthen the offense.

After all, they are three goals behind, and they will lose anyway, so why not attack aggressively and try to see if they can perform a miracle and equalize the score.

But it turns out that Bayern's offense not only failed to bring them a miracle, but instead made them slip into a deeper abyss.

First of all, after the substitution adjustment, Bayern's defensive strength has weakened.

Secondly, Bayern, who aggressively attacked, failed to break through Dortmund's goal. Instead, under the interference of Cheng Hai's full-court press, they often lost the ball and were counterattacked by Dortmund.

In the end, it was Cheng Hai's all-round offensive and defensive capabilities that made Bayern Munich really helpless.

Within a few minutes of the second half, Dortmund cut off Bayern's offense and launched a quick counterattack, almost allowing Cheng Hai to break through and create a threat.

Fortunately, Schweinsteiger decisively adopted a tactical foul strategy when Cheng Hai broke through with the ball in the frontcourt, and brought Cheng Hai down. Although he received a yellow card, it also broke Cheng Hai's plan to break through and enter the penalty area.

But this does not change Bayern's situation.

With the help of Cheng Hai sprinting across the court, Bayern Munich was not only unable to attack, but was often intercepted and counterattacked.

Although Cheng Hai was unable to participate in the attack because he ran too far behind, but Cheng Hai's physical fitness and speed were too abnormal.

As long as Cheng Hai has the opportunity to counterattack, it can pose a huge threat to Bayern's penalty area and goal, no matter how cautious Bayern is to prevent them from defending, it will be useless.

In the 58th minute, Robben made another pass error under Cheng Hai's pressure and sent the ball to Shinji Kagawa's feet. Dortmund once again played a quick counterattack.

This time Cheng Hai’s position was relatively low. First, Mario Gotze made a pass from the side. Lewandowski failed to get the right position in the middle. The ball fell in the penalty area, causing confusion among the players on both sides.

Just when the Bayern players and fans breathed a sigh of relief, they saw that Cheng Hai, who was defending in the backcourt just now and forced Robben to make a pass error, had rushed up, spotted the ball's landing point and rushed over first, then opened his arms to block Schweinsteiger, who also wanted to grab the ball, and made a volley.

Schweinsteiger had already received a yellow card for a tactical foul before. If he receives another card this time, two yellows will turn into one red, and he will be sent off directly.

Therefore, Schweinsteiger was stuck on the side by Cheng Hai. He watched him swing his thigh and make a volley, but he didn't dare to shovel from the side to destroy Cheng Hai's shot.

He was afraid of fouling and was shown a yellow card. Two yellows turned into one red and he went off the field immediately.

He just prayed in his heart that Cheng Hai's volley shot would not hit the right spot and hit the door frame.

He thinks his prayers should be effective, because there is a full distance of about 25 meters from the goal, and volleys are generally difficult to hit, and it is difficult to hit high quality.

However, the final result disappointed him.

Cheng Hai's long-range shot, volley, archery, shooting power and other skills combined with a little luck allowed Cheng Hai to hit a beautiful volley.

Cheng Hai hit the ball with one kick, and the ball changed direction like a cannonball, flew past Gustavo's head who rushed out of the penalty area, and flew towards the upper left of Bayern Munich's goal.

With this non-stop volley, Cheng Hai hit a tricky dead corner.

Neuer's reaction was not unpleasant. He made a save response as soon as Cheng Hai finished shooting.

However, he still failed to save the ball in the end.

Because Cheng Hai's volley was too powerful, too fast, and the angle was too tricky, he was still beyond his reach in the end, and could only watch helplessly as the ball flew into the dead corner of Bayern's goal from the top of his palm against the lower edge of the crossbar.

In the 58th minute, Cheng Hai completed a hat-trick, helping Dortmund take a 4-0 lead and completely seal the victory.

Now the Bayern Munich players are completely discouraged.

With such a big point difference, and with Cheng Hai on the court, they couldn't attack and counterattack with all their strength, so they couldn't even the score.

Next, Bayern can only strengthen their defense, strictly guard against Cheng Hai, avoid conceding more goals, and wait for Cheng Hai to leave the field after his physical energy is exhausted, and then they will counterattack and try to score a goal to save a little face.

As a result, they failed to do even the idea of ​​saving face.

Their wish for Cheng Hai to be replaced after exhaustion has never been realized.

Not only was Cheng Hai not replaced, but he seemed to be more active in the second half, causing the Bayern players to be dragged away by him and become physically exhausted.

Moreover, in the offense, although Bayern no longer counterattacked much and focused on defense, Cheng Hai had fewer chances to attack, but Cheng Hai was not the only one in Dortmund.

As a result, when Bayern was concentrating on defending Cheng Hai, in the 73rd minute, Dortmund assisted Mario Götze through Gundogan and scored the Hornet's fifth goal.

5-0!

Dortmund lead Bayern Munich 5-0 with less than 20 minutes remaining.

Even if Cheng Hai is off the field at this time, Bayern Munich is absolutely powerless.Therefore, the Dortmund fans at the scene have already sang the song "We are the champions" and celebrated in advance.

In fact, Cheng Hai hadn't left the field until now, and he was still running around the court, making great contributions on both offense and defense.

In the 78th minute, a scene that made Bayern Munich worse appeared.

Cheng Hai ran out of a gap outside the right corner of the penalty area through quick running without the ball. After receiving a pass from his teammate, Cheng Hai originally wanted to break into the penalty area and then shoot.

As a result, when he was about to enter the penalty area, Cheng Hai was pulled down to the ground by the panicked Alaba.

Although the foul was not in the penalty area and there was no penalty kick, Alaba was shown a yellow card by the referee.In addition to the previous yellow card, Alaba turned two yellows into one red and was directly sent off the field.

Already lacking in strength and five goals behind, and now one person was sent off, it is even more impossible for Bayern to perform any miracles.

On the contrary, it was Cheng Hai, even if Bayern had been beaten 5-0, even if Bayern had only ten players left to fight, Cheng Hai had no intention of replacing them.

He's still running around looking for offensive opportunities.

Although Bayern Munich's retracted defense made their space in the backcourt much smaller, Cheng Hai's abnormal off-ball movement, speed, and physical fitness still allowed him to find an excellent shooting opportunity in the 87th minute.

He first passed an opponent's player through his own breakthrough outside the penalty area, and then passed the ball when several defensive players rushed over.

The ball was sent to Gundogan, and Gundogan made a shot on the penalty area line, forcing Bayern players to block. Many people also subconsciously focused on Gundogan to see if his shot would result in a goal.

As a result, I don't know that Gundogan didn't shoot at all, but a fake shot.

After Gundogan's ankle fell, he didn't shoot, but passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area.

Everyone looked along the rolling direction of the ball, only to find that Cheng Hai, who had just completed a breakthrough and pass, had already appeared in that position: Cheng Hai and Jing Duoan completed a collision with the wall.

Cheng Hai received a pass from teammate Gundogan on the right side of Bayern Munich's penalty area. Before defender Boateng blocked the shot angle, he used all his strength to volley the ball without stopping and kicked the ball towards Bayern Munich's goal.
