King of the Zone

As Cheng Hai said, he was very busy this summer, and he didn't even have time to travel in Germany with his parents, so he could only hire two Chinese students to take their parents and cousin for a tour in Germany.

Cheng Hai, on the other hand, started to get busy.

Along with the champions of the Champions League and the Triple Crown, in addition to the coveted poaching by the super giants, there are also interview applications from major media, endorsement appointments from brand owners, invitations to commercial events, etc.

Backed by a super emerging market with a population of more than one billion in Huaguo, not only Huaguo brands need to rely on Cheng Hai to hit the international market, but many international brands also need Cheng Hai to help them open up the domestic market.

This is mutual, Cheng Hai is equal to being popular at home and abroad.

Just this summer, the endorsement fee, appearance fee, etc. that Baker has signed and is planning to sign for him are expected to exceed 3000 million euros and more than 2 million yuan.

Since the celebration dinner at the club ended, Cheng Hai has been busy accepting interviews, filming commercials, attending commercial events, participating in charity events, etc., until May 5, his 25th birthday.

Witnessed by his parents, agents, club executives, some coaches and teammates, representatives of brand owners, and media reporters, Cheng Hai officially entered the 20-year-old mark.

At this time, Cheng Hai, who has just turned 20 years old, has only been in professional football for two years, but he has already won the 2011 Asian Cup Champion, Golden Boot, Best Player, 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 Bundesliga Champions, Golden Boots, and Best Player, 2010/2011 UEFA Cup Champion, Golden Boot, and Best Player, 2011/2012 German Cup and Champions League Champions, Golden Boots, Best Player, as well as European Golden Boots and European Golden Boy Awards. , Asian Footballer of the Year, Lawrence World Sports Award, IFFHS Top Scorer and many other world football superstars with countless collective honors and individual awards, breaking countless world records.

With the achievements of last season's five crowns, it can also be predicted that Cheng Hai will definitely take away the 2012 FIFA Ballon d'Or and become the new Mr. Golden Globe. It is absolutely impossible to have any accidents this time.

20 years old is not the peak of Cheng Hai's career, it's more like just the beginning!
Just as Dortmund's high-level delusion, if Cheng Hai does not leave this summer, Cheng Hai even has a great probability to lead Dortmund to replicate the miracle of the annual six-time champion, and even create an unprecedented six-time champion.

Therefore, no matter how expensive Cheng Hai's endorsement fee is, anyone who can sign Cheng Hai's contract this summer is already making a lot of money.

After his 20th birthday, Cheng Hai and his party set off to return to China.

Of course, Cheng Hai doesn't want to go back to his hometown for vacation, his parents can go back, but he still has to continue to fly around the country, shoot commercials for the domestic brands he signed, attend events, accept CCTV interviews, etc.

Busy until May 5, Cheng Haicai finally finished his domestic affairs and flew to Lebanon to join the national team for the first round match against Lebanon in Group A of the 31 Brazil World Cup Asia Top Ten Qualifiers.

Since the last Champions League final, the teammates are on vacation, but Cheng Hai is busier than participating in training and competitions.

Reporting to the national team at this time, preparing to play the top ten games, is considered to be starting work, but it is much easier than filming advertisements and attending events everywhere in the name of a holiday.

That is, Cheng Hai's ability to enter deep sleep at any time, and his physical and energy recovery speed is many times faster than that of ordinary people.

Otherwise, let alone whether he can participate in so many activities, the national team will not allow him to report until three days before the game.

After arriving in Lebanon, meeting with the national team, and accepting congratulations from his coaches and teammates for winning the Champions League, Cheng Hai began formal training with the national team.

In this training camp, Cheng Hai is no longer in the forward position, but the midfielder in the 4231 formation.

This is Cheng Hai's request to head coach Gao Hongbo on the phone after the Champions League final was over and his "Vision" skill was filled up.

In view of the premise that Cheng Hai had already tried to play the midfielder in Europe and achieved good defensive results, Gao Hongbo agreed to Cheng Hai's new tactical suggestion, and the recruitment of personnel was also based on the tactical needs of Cheng Hai playing the midfielder and having a center in front.

But in fact, this is just a compromise brought about by the trust in Cheng Hai and Cheng Hai's status. Gao Hongbo and the team have doubts about whether Cheng Hai can adapt to the needs of the midfielder position.

However, when Cheng Hai came to the national team to report, after only one day of formal training, everyone's doubts disappeared, and the rest was dumbfounded.

In the 60-minute training match on the first day, Cheng Hai, who played as a midfielder, led the main team to slaughter the substitute team 9-0.

Cheng Hai not only scored five goals in a single game, but also sent three assists, and his wide-ranging sweep of the midfield prevented the substitute team from scoring even a single goal and had their heads shaved.

Cheng Hai does not necessarily score more goals in the attacking midfielder position than the striker, but without reducing the offense much, the team's defensive strength has been improved by more than one level.

The whole team was overjoyed immediately, and their confidence in the right to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil was extremely sufficient.

The game against Lebanon will be Cheng Hai's first attempt at the midfielder position.

With Cheng Hai's current strength in offense and defense, if he can achieve a breakthrough in the front midfielder position, it will undoubtedly be another huge leap in strength for the weak Huaguo national team.

However, at this time, the outside world and Lebanon do not know this yet.

Everyone knows that Cheng Hai can play as a midfielder, and his defensive ability is also good, but considering the current situation of the Huaguo national team, letting Cheng Hai play as a midfielder will sacrifice the offensive ability of the Huaguo team.

The Huaguo team's forwards, except for Cheng Hai, are not as good as Lewandowski, and they cannot make up for the loss of attack power caused by Cheng Hai's deep retreat.

Because although Cheng Hai's defensive ability is good, but limited by his "vision", his ability to organize offense is relatively lacking.

This is the problem that everyone discovered after Cheng Hai played a few games with the midfielder.

Therefore, the Lebanese side is still preparing for Cheng Hai to play forward.Not to mention the front midfielder, I didn't even think about the back midfielder.

During the daytime on June 6, the starting roster announced by the Hua Guo team was also submitted according to the 3 formation. It showed that the single midfielder was Zhao Xuri, the front midfielder was Zheng Zhi, and the double forwards were Cheng Hai and Gao Lin.

Although this is different from the 20 formation that the Hua Guo team played in the top 4231, everyone thought that the Hua Guo team had the idea of ​​letting Cheng Hai withdraw to the midfielder position after taking the lead and participating in the defense with Zhao Xuri.

No one thought that Cheng Hai was going to hit the midfielder.

So, at 2012:6 on the evening of June 3, 19, when the top ten World Preliminaries of Lebanon VS Hua Guo officially started, everyone was dumbfounded.

The real formation of the Hua Guo team is that Zheng Zhi retreats and forms a double midfielder with Zhao Xuri.

Cheng Hai retreated again and became the organizing midfielder, and took on part of the midfield defense tasks on the basis of organizing the offense.

This made Lebanon dumbfounded.

On the one hand, because Gao Lin is in front of him and his position is retreated, the number of defenders facing Cheng Hai is bound to be not as many as in the penalty area, and the running space is much larger.

On the other hand, after becoming a midfielder with Gao Lin in front of him, Cheng Hai can also retreat deeply to participate in the defense at any time, without worrying that there is no one in front of him to counterattack.

Zheng Zhi and Zhao Xuri's interception ability in the midfielder position is good, and Cheng Hai's abnormal physical strength and speed make up for it. With Lebanon's offensive ability, they can only look at the Chinese team's penalty area.

After the commentators found out that Cheng Hai's real position was the front midfielder, everyone had a premonition of this: Although Lebanon is playing at home, even if they want to score a goal today, it will be very, very difficult, and they might have their heads shaved.

The only thing everyone doesn't understand is: Can Cheng Hai be up to the task of organizing and attacking the attacking midfielder?

As a result, only 4 minutes into the game, the Hua Guo team broke through the Lebanese defense.

And it was Cheng Hai who assisted.It was Gao Lin who scored the goal.

Cheng Hai used his breakthrough technique like lingering micro-steps outside the penalty area, passing two people in a row, attracting several remaining Lebanese defenders to rush forward, and then used a scalpel-like pass from the penalty area line to directly penetrate Lebanon's defense line and send the ball diagonally to the left small penalty area line.

Gao Lin received a wonderful pass from Cheng Hai in the almost unguarded space, and with an easy push, he sent the ball into the Lebanese goal.

Cheng Hai's wonderful pass made the commentators immediately exclaim that it was wonderful.

Because although Cheng Hai also had a good passing ability in the past, it was difficult to find this gap and send it from a small space to the penalty area to help his teammates score easily.

As a result, Cheng Hai, who played as an attacking midfielder for the first time today, not only continued to use his breakthrough ability to pass several people to attract the opponent's encirclement and pinch, but also assisted the ball in time.

Of course, one assist can't sum up everything, maybe it's just a coincidence, and we have to continue to see Cheng Hai's performance.

However, Cheng Hai's performance later proved that he is really capable of playing the midfielder position.

Not only is it organizing the offense, Cheng Hai's contribution to the defense is also unparalleled.

After falling behind 0-1, Lebanon tried to counterattack.

However, with Cheng Hai's spare no effort to attack and press and the help of Zhao Xuri, Zheng Zhi and others to defend, Lebanon's offense failed to hit the 30-meter area of ​​the goal, and the Hua Guo team intercepted the ball.

In the 7th minute, the Hua Guo team immediately launched a counterattack after breaking the ball. Cheng Hai and the full-back Yu Hai first hit the wall to pass the Lebanese midfielder who was robbing, and then passed a defender of the opponent with a bicycle.

It was a counterattack in itself. Cheng Hai and Yu Hai hit the wall and cooperated for one, and pedaled for another. How many people are left in Lebanon's backcourt to defend?
Because of the natural fear of Cheng Hai, the remaining few rushed over immediately to intercept Cheng Hai.

Gao Lin in the distance is naturally in the gap.

Cheng Hai kicked the pass, which naturally gave Gao Lin an excellent chance to shoot.

However, Gao Lin is not as good as Cheng Hai in both stopping and shooting skills.

Faced with Cheng Hai's mid-air pass, Gao Lin unloaded the ball first, and he did not unload it well. He wasted time by adjusting two steps, and was forced by the defender in the middle.

Then, when he shot, he was interfered by the opponent's defender, failed to hit the goal, hit the post and bounced back to the small penalty area.

Just as the Lebanese players and fans breathed a sigh of relief and were about to wait for the defender to clear the penalty area, a player wearing the No. 9 jersey suddenly appeared and kicked the ball into the goal.

The goalkeeper subconsciously waved his hand, but didn't touch anything.

It turned out that Cheng Hai rushed into the penalty area after completing the pass, and just received the rebound ball and shot into the net.

Only 7 minutes into the game, Cheng Hai made a pass and a shot to help the Hua Guo team take a 2-0 lead.

Next, Cheng Hai showed Lebanon and the whole world what an all-around midfielder is.

Frontcourt pressing, backcourt defense, through balls, long pass scheduling, clever passes, breakthroughs, spot shots, headers, free kicks, etc. Cheng Hai's terrifying performance on both ends of the offense and defense made most of the Lebanese fans in the stands leave before the end of the game.

Because I just can't bear to watch it anymore.

In the 15th minute, Cheng Hai launched a positional attack and made a long pass in the air from the left, accurately finding Hao Junmin in the space on the right.

Hao Junmin drove the ball into the penalty area without marking, and after attracting the attention of the last Lebanese defender and goalkeeper, he crossed the middle.

Zheng Zhi plugged in from the back row, took an angry shot towards the ball, and kicked the ball into Lebanon's goal.

Although the ball was not scored by Cheng Haijin, nor was he assisted, it was brought by his long pass from the left to Hao Junmin on the right, penetrating through the Lebanese defense.

The Chinese team led 3-0.

In the 27th minute, Cheng Hai made an accurate through ball from a distance of more than 30 meters, allowing Gao Lin to turn offside successfully.

Although Gao Lin was not injured, this kind of tackle from behind will naturally be punished.

However, perhaps because of the fact that Gao Lin was not injured, or because of Lebanon's home game, the referee did not give a red card, but only gave a yellow card.

Cheng Hai took the lead in protesting a few words, and seeing that the referee insisted on his own opinion, he stopped making trouble.

In this must-win game, I had too many disputes with the referee, and if I got a yellow card, it would not be worth it.

The free kick that Gao Lin won was about 28 meters away from the goal, and the free kick was naturally taken by Cheng Hailai.

In fact, Cheng Hai had already taken a free kick before, but he didn't score.

But this time, Cheng Hai made the penalty.The free kick he took drew a beautiful arc in the air, bypassed the wall, tricked the goalkeeper, and finally circled to the near corner and flew into the upper left dead corner against the goal post.

Cheng Hai scored twice and the Huaguo team led 4-0.

In the 39th minute, Cheng Hai, Yu Hai, Hao Junmin, and Gao Lin made a joint attack in the frontcourt, forcing Lebanon to make a pass error, which was blocked by Yu Hai.

Yu Hai handed it over to Cheng Hai who ran to the gap.

It was originally a frontcourt steal, coupled with Cheng Hai's speed and off-the-ball running ability, when Cheng Hai received Yu Hai's pass, there was even only one central defender left in front of him.

If it is a top defender in Europe, perhaps Cheng Hai may not be able to break through.But an Asian-level defender is too easy for Cheng Hai.

I dare not say 90%, but a [-]% success rate is basically no problem.

Sure enough, Cheng Hai's breakthrough this time was not unexpected.The last defender of Lebanon was easily broken through by Cheng Hai's Marseille maneuver, and then went to the meeting alone, dribbling the ball into the penalty area and scoring with a low shot.

The first half was not over yet, Cheng Hai had already staged a hat-trick and an assist, helping Huaguo to take a 5-0 lead.

Even so, however, Lebanon's first-half nightmare was not over.

Just when the Lebanese players were stunned by the 5-0 score, only 2 minutes after Cheng Hai completed his hat-trick, the Huaguo team scored again.

This time, it was Cheng Hai who took advantage of the loopholes in the defense line of the Lebanese defenders in a trance, and passed a wonderful pass that penetrated the defense line. Hao Junmin received Cheng Hai's wonderful pass about four meters to the left of the penalty kick in the penalty area.

The Huaguo team has already led 6-0, and the game has actually ended early.

After a 15-minute break, Gao Hongbo replaced two substitutes, basically playing this world preliminaries as a training match.

Even so, Cheng Hai assisted two goals in the second half, scored another goal himself, and finally launched an attack to indirectly help Qu Bo, who came off the bench, score a goal.

After 90 minutes, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game without even giving stoppage time.

Because the score on the big screen was 10-0, Cheng Hai not only staged goals and assists, but also led the Hua Guo team to score double-digit 10 goals, and also shaved his head for Lebanon.

The referee couldn't bear to continue stoppage time, fearing that the Hua Guo team would score again and make the Lebanese players cry.

A world preliminaries in Asia, but after the match, it caused intensive reports from the media all over the world:

"Asian World Preliminaries, Cheng Hai scored a goal and assisted two big fours to lead the Chinese team to a 10-0 bloodbath in Lebanon! "
