King of the Zone

In another game that went on and ended at the same time, Real Madrid did not allow themselves to be a joke as they thrashed Ajax 4-1 at home to finish second in their group and advance to the round of [-].

Ajax qualified for the third Europa League knockout round in the group, and the Premier League champion Manchester City ranked fourth in the group and completely returned home.

After the game, many media around the world reported on Cheng Hai's record of scoring goals in six games in the UEFA Champions League group stage.

"The death group Dortmund and Real Madrid joined hands to qualify, and the Premier League champions Manchester City came out at the bottom of the group. "

"The UEFA Champions League group stage is over, and Cheng Hai has scored in all six games to create a new record. "

"Cheng Hai scored goals in the Champions League group stage, scored 15 goals in six games and almost locked in this season's Champions League Golden Boot in advance! "

"In the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage that just ended, Dortmund beat Manchester City 2-1 at home with Cheng Hai's brace and advanced to the knockout stage of this season's UEFA Champions League with a complete victory."

"Cheng Hai has thus become the first player in the history of the Champions League to score in all six games in the group stage, creating a new Champions League record."

"Cheng Hai also scored 15 goals in six group matches, almost securing the Champions League Golden Boot this season ahead of schedule!"

"At the same time, Cheng Hai's total number of goals for the year has also reached 172 goals, and he continues to advance towards the annual 200-goal mark."

"However, judging from Cheng Hai's state and the number of goals he scored in the last few games, he may not be able to achieve the annual goal of 200 goals this year. The possibility is very low."

"Because Cheng Hai has only 4 games left this year, and it is impossible to score 4 goals in 7 games on average."

"But Cheng Hai is a person who often creates miracles. Let us wait and see what the final result will be."

"In addition to Dortmund, Real Madrid also successfully advanced to the knockout rounds. Ajax ranked third and qualified for the Europa League knockout rounds. Premier League champions Manchester City ranked fourth in the group and were eliminated."

After finishing the Champions League group stage, the knockout stage will have to wait until next year, and Dortmund will return to the domestic league.

On December 12, in the 8th round of the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund played at home against Wolfsburg.

In this game, Klopp also carried out a substantial rotation, because after this game, Dortmund will leave for Japan to participate in this year's World Club Cup in Yokohama, Japan.

This is Dortmund's sixth and final title in 2012.

After winning the Club World Cup, Dortmund will tie Barcelona, ​​complete the feat of winning six titles of the year, and become the new Cosmos team.

Coupled with the relatively large advantage in the league, Klopp continued to rotate in this game against Wolfsburg, and rotated the players who were not rotated in the last Champions League, except Cheng Haiwai, to ensure that everyone has enough physical fitness and energy to compete for the Club World Cup championship.

Wolfsburg is naturally the main force, and wants to take advantage of Dortmund's substantial lineup rotation and need to be distracted to play the Club World Cup to defeat Dortmund at the Westfalenstadion.

On the day of the competition, the weather was not good. The temperature in December was only about 12 degrees. It was still raining lightly during the competition, and it was quite cold on the body!

Substantial rotation + weather reasons, although Cheng Hai completed a hat-trick in this game and helped Dortmund score three goals, but Wolfsburg also scored three goals.

In the end, the game was tied 3-3, and Dortmund's winning streak this season was finally ended by Wolfsburg.

However, Dortmund didn't care too much about the result of this game.

Everyone's hearts have already flown to Japan.

Everyone has been looking forward to the Club World Cup and the annual six-time champion.

The teams participating in the 2012 World Club Cup include the host, Japanese J-League champion Hiroshima Sanfrecce, Oceania Champions Cup champion, New Zealand team Auckland City, Asian Champions League champion, Korean team Ulsan Hyundai, African Champions Cup champion, Egyptian team Al Ahly, CONCACAF Champions Cup champion, Mexican team Monterrey, South American Libertadores Cup champion, Brazilian team Corinthians, and UEFA Champions League champion, last season's Triple Crown team Dortmund.

The seven teams are strong and weak, so not every team has to play all the games.

Before Dortmund VS Wolfsburg, the first round of the Club World Cup play-offs had already been played. The host Hiroshima Sanfrecce defeated the Oceania Champions Cup champion and the New Zealand team Auckland City 1-0 with a world wave goal scored by Toshihiro Aoyama, advancing to the top six.

The remaining six teams, the Champions League champions Borussia Dortmund and the Copa Libertadores champions Corinthians will be the final bosses, and they will not play until the semi-finals.

The winner of the play-offs, Sanfrecce Hiroshima, will face off against AFC champion Ulsan Hyundai, African champion Al Ahly, and Central and North American champion Monterrey to determine the other two semi-final places, and then challenge Dortmund or Corinthians.

As the two most developed continents in football, the champions of the Champions League and the South American champions have this qualification, and they will only play in the semi-finals.

The next day, while the Dortmund team was flying to Yokohama, Japan, the two quarter-finals of the Club World Cup were held as scheduled.

The strength of the Asian teams is really weak. The host Sanfrecce Hiroshima, who came from the play-offs, was defeated by the African champion Al Ahly 2-1, and the AFC champion Ulsan Hyundai was defeated by the Central and North American champion Monterrey 3-1.

Hiroshima Sanfrecce and Ulsan Hyundai stopped in the quarter-finals, while Al Ahli and Monterrey advanced to the semi-finals.

In the semi-finals, Al Ahly will challenge the Copa Libertadores champion Corinthians, while Monterrey's opponent is Dortmund, who is flying to Japan from Europe.

Al Ahli VS Corinthians is hard to say, but for Monterrey VS Dortmund, no one thinks Monterrey will win.

Not to mention Dortmund's high morale for the annual six-time crown, Cheng Hai alone in Dortmund's team, Monterrey basically has nothing to do.

Perhaps, in the game, there is only one way to watch Cheng Hai break through and score a goal, but there is no way to defend.

On the evening of December 12, the plane landed at Yokohama International Airport in Japan. Dortmund was greeted and warmly welcomed by thousands of fans.

Of course, most of them were overseas Chinese living in Japan. They were very excited about Cheng Hai's arrival, and held red flags and banners of various sizes to welcome Cheng Hai.

In addition, there are quite a few Japanese fans who also expressed their warm welcome to Cheng Hai's arrival.

Although there are many historical grievances between China and Japan, and the hatred in football alone can be collected in a basket, Japan is a nation that admires the strong, so some fans can't help but come to greet Cheng Hai and express their admiration for him.

However, it cannot be compared with the grand occasion when Beckham and others arrived in Japan during the first phase of Galaxy Battleship. After all, not everyone dared to let go of their grievances and come to welcome Cheng Hai.

Even though some people admire and admire Cheng Hai in their hearts, they are afraid of some right-wing public opinion and dare not express it clearly.

After staying in a hotel near the Yokohama International Arena, Dortmund started adaptive training.

There are more and more Huaguo fans coming from Japan and even from China. There are huge crowds of people outside the training ground every day. Cheng Hai signed dozens of autographs after training every day, which is a drop in the bucket and cannot satisfy everyone.

Cheng Hai could only keep saying sorry to the fans who supported him.

Because it is impossible for him to satisfy everyone, and he does not have the energy to satisfy everyone, he and his teammates must devote their main energy to training to ensure that they win the Club World Cup.

When the Club World Cup was called the Toyota Cup in the past, it was just an invitational match for Toyota. It could only be considered a warm-up match, not an official match. European teams played very casually, and often did not even make the main lineup.

However, since FIFA joined hands and changed to the FIFA Club World Cup, it has been included in the official competition of professional teams.

Of course, because of the long distance, European teams in the past still didn't pay much attention to it, because everyone had to focus on the competition for the Champions League and the league.

That is the foundation of the club's existence.

But since Barcelona created six crowns in 2009, everyone discovered that the Club World Cup is also so important. No matter how warm-up it is, it is also an official competition organized by FIFA, and it is considered to be the champion.

Therefore, no European team ignores the Club World Cup anymore.

As for Dortmund this year, let alone.

They have won the UEFA Champions League, Bundesliga, and German Cup in the 2011/2012 season, and won the 2012 German Super Cup and European Super Cup this season. They have completed the 2012 annual five-time crown.

As long as they win the Club World Cup again, Dortmund will replicate the miracle of Barcelona's six-time crown in 2009 and retain the opportunity to create a six-time crown in the 2012/2013 season.

Therefore, even Cheng Hai, who has a system plug-in, trained extremely seriously, preparing for the semi-finals with the most serious attitude.

Those who travel hundreds of miles are half ninety, don't fall down on the last champion.

Dortmund is willing to offer the world's No. [-] annual salary, isn't it for this year's six-time champion?
Cheng Hai also had to fight for his own strength and status improvement.

On the afternoon of December 12th, the five-six finals were held between Sanfrecce Hiroshima and Hyundai Ulsan. In the end, Sanfrecce Hiroshima, who played at home, defeated Ulsan Hyundai 12-3 amidst the cheers of Japanese fans and won the No.2.

On the same day, but at night, the first semi-final was between Al Ahly and Corinthians.

In the end, Corinthians relied on former Bayern giant Guerrero's header in the first half to narrowly beat Al Ahli 1-0 and advance to the final.

On the second day, December 12, at 13:19 local time in Japan, amidst the cheers of more than 30 fans at the Yokohama International Arena, the second match of the 7 FIFA Club World Cup semi-final between North American champion Monterrey VS Champions League champion Borussia Dortmund officially began.

This game was completely turned into Dortmund's home stadium by Chinese and overseas Chinese, and the second most were local Japanese fans in Yokohama.

Although Dortmund's number one star is Cheng Hai, they still want to watch this kind of international high-level competition, especially for Dortmund's possibility of winning six annual championships.

In this world, diehard fans are a minority after all, most of them are champion fans.

Seeing that Dortmund may complete the six-time champion of the year, many Japanese fans naturally did not want to miss it, so they chose to watch the game live.

As for the Mexican team Monterrey, apart from a few hundred Mexican expats, almost no one cheered them on.

From the first minute of the game, Dortmund launched a fierce offensive against Monterrey amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of Chinese fans and Japanese champion fans.

Although this is the Club World Cup and the opponent is the Central and North American champions, Dortmund did not cautiously test anything.

The championship of Central and North America sounds good, but in fact, I am afraid it is not as good as an ordinary Bundesliga team. Dortmund has nothing to be cautious or scruples about.

Against Corinthians you may have to be cautious, but against Monterrey, you don't have to.

Take out your own strength and bombard your opponent indiscriminately.

Although the Monterrey players knew Cheng Hai's threat, they couldn't guard against it.Even if Cheng Hai's breakthrough or shot is blocked, Cheng Hai's pass cannot be stopped.

In the 12th minute, Cheng Hai got the ball in the front court and was intercepted by two guards of the opponent after passing two people in a row. It was not easy to break through for a while.

Even if Cheng Hai managed to find an opportunity to rush over, it was a waste of time and efficiency.

What's more, after Cheng Hai broke through the two and attracted two more to intercept, there was actually a huge gap in Monterrey's penalty area, which was caught by Dortmund's players.

Cheng Hai's full field of vision also allowed him to spot the opponent's gaps in time.His good passing skills also give him the ability to send the ball over.

So, everyone saw that Cheng Hai, under the interception of two Monterrey defenders, flicked the ball horizontally to get out of the way, and then pushed the ball to the left side of the penalty area in the penalty area.

The Monterrey defenders who thought that Cheng Hai would step on the battalion and shoot himself were shocked, and it was too late to make up for the loopholes.

Lewandowski met Cheng Hai's pass about 12 yards away from the goal, volleyed the ball without stopping, got the right position, and kicked the ball into the lower right corner of the Monterrey goal.

Although the goalkeeper made a save response, he was a bit slow and failed to save the goal in the end.

Cheng Hai assisted Lewandowski to open the scoring and gave Dortmund a 1-0 lead.

After leading the score, the Dortmund players breathed a sigh of relief, and became much more relaxed in the next game, and played better in passing and cutting.

As for Monterrey, although they knew that facing Dortmund led by Cheng Hai, their chances of winning were very slim, but this did not prevent them from counterattacking.

The score is already behind, why don't you just surrender if you don't fight back?
What's more, even if they can't win, on this world-renowned Club World Cup stage, coupled with Cheng Hai's influence and media attention from all over the world, if anyone can score one or two goals in Dortmund, it is entirely possible to attract the favor of European clubs, get the opportunity to transfer to the five major leagues, and play in Europe.

Therefore, Monterrey was not afraid of Dortmund's counterattack, but immediately launched a major counterattack, fighting for the slight chance of winning the game.

But it turns out that they are indeed weak.Under the high pressure of all Dortmund players, they even had very little chance of hitting the ball in the frontcourt.

In the 16th minute, Monterrey completed the first shot of the game from outside the penalty area. A long-range shot from outside the penalty area was ridiculously wide, and it didn't even hit the goal frame.

Weidenfeller stopped after moving two steps, and then watched the ball fly far out of the baseline with a smile on his face.

While Monterrey aggressively attacked, they naturally exposed a lot of gaps in the backcourt.

Even if Dortmund can't make use of it every time, once they get the chance, with the strength of Cheng Hai, Lewandowski, Gundogan and others, the probability of Dortmund scoring is much higher than that of Monterrey.

In the 23rd minute, Monterrey's attack was interrupted again.

But this time, Dortmund played a successful counterattack.

Although Cheng Hai did not take the ball offside, his super fast reaction, off-ball movement and speed still allowed him to get the pass from Gundogan, and only the last two defenders Perez and Chavez were left as interceptors in front of him.

Before the two of them got closer and closed the door to defend and intercept Cheng Hai, Cheng Hai poked the ball into the gap between the two, and then accelerated himself to go around Chavez's body.

The ball is divided.

Perez and Chavez certainly did not allow Cheng Hai to break through so easily.

Chavez immediately stretched out his hand and grabbed Cheng Hai's hand, wanting to make a tactical foul and pull him down, preventing him from going around to form a single sword.

Perez immediately turned around and chased after Cheng Hai's poked ball, trying to destroy the ball before Cheng Hai.

However, both of them underestimated Cheng Hai's speed.

In other words, even if they are aware of it, there is nothing they can do if they cannot keep up with their own speed.

Although Chavez's hand touched Cheng Hai's, before he grasped Cheng Hai and pulled Cheng Hai down, Cheng Hai shook his hand back, shook off Chavez's pull, and walked away.

The same is true for Perez. Although Cheng Hai immediately turned around and chased after Cheng Hai used the man-ball to pass the move, but his turning process was about the same as Cheng Hai's time to bypass Chavez.

Then in the competition of speed, he fell behind Cheng Hai.

When Cheng Hai caught up with the ball in front of him, Perez had no choice but to be stopped behind by Cheng Hai's open arms, unable to poke the ball even if he wanted to.

Although Perez tried to push Cheng Hai down with a tactical foul, Cheng Hai's physique and balance were too strong, and Perez failed to push twice.

At this time, Cheng Hai was already close to the penalty area line, and Perez didn't dare to try again.

If it is pushed again, if Cheng Hai falls in the penalty area, not only will he get a yellow card, but Dortmund will also get a penalty.

With Cheng Hai's ability to shoot every penalty kick, it's better to let Cheng Hai play a one-handed kick, maybe the goalkeeper may still save it.

Of course, Perez's last wish came true.

After dribbling the ball to the penalty area line, facing the attacking goalkeeper Orozco, Cheng Hai carried Perez's collision and hit a far corner.

It was too late to catch the ball, and Orozko sat down on the ground, trying to stretch his legs to block the ball.

However, the angle of Cheng Hai's shot was too precise and too tricky, and Orozco's feet failed to stop Cheng Hai's shot.

The ball skimmed past his feet and flew firmly into the far goal.

In the 23rd minute, Cheng Hai scored his first goal in the Club World Cup, helping Dortmund take a 2-0 lead.

The moment the ball flew into the net, the Huaguo CCTV CCTV-5 commentator on the commentary seat shouted excitedly:

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

"Cheng Hai scored in the Club World Cup!"

"2-0!"

"Cheng Hai helped Dortmund take a 2-0 lead."

"With this score, with Dortmund's strength, Monterrey will almost never have a chance to turn around."

"Dortmund are on the verge of reaching the final to take on Corinthians for the 2012 Club World Cup."

"Cheng Hai is one step closer to becoming the six-time champion of the year."

On the court, Cheng Hai also celebrated warmly with his teammates.

As the commentator said, the score of 1-0 and 2-0 give people a completely different feeling.

When it's 1-0, you still have to worry about whether you will be tied and reversed by your opponent.But 2-0, everyone has to relax a lot psychologically.

Such things are rare in football history, and super reversals are not so easy to happen.

What's more, even if the opponent can score two or three goals, will Dortmund not score again?
ridiculous!

With the strength of Cheng Hai and his teammates, if the opponent dares to attack aggressively, it will be their chance to score instead, and it is impossible not to score a goal next time.

Monterrey is not an Italian team, and has such a good chain defense ability.

What's more, AC Milan has been beaten 5-0 by Dortmund, let alone Monterrey.

Sure enough, in the next game, although Monterrey desperately wanted to attack and score goals, they missed the goal for a long time.

On the contrary, behind their aggressive attack, a large gap was left in the backcourt.

Even though their defenders have paid great attention to intercepting Dortmund's counterattack, the existence of Cheng Hai makes them powerless and unable to stop them even if they want to.

In the 34th minute, Dortmund stole the ball and played a successful counterattack.

When Monterrey focused all its defense on Cheng Hai, Dortmund did not counterattack from Cheng Hai, but handed the ball to Royce on the wing.

Royce dribbled the ball straight in from the side without any defense, until he rushed to a place level with the penalty area line and cut in with the ball, a defender in the center had to be distracted to intercept him.

But where is it too late?
Without waiting for the opponent's defender to approach, Royce made a cross and sent the ball into the penalty area.

Cheng Hai, who followed up without the ball in the middle, overwhelmed Perez, jumped high in the penalty area, hit the ball passed by Royce with his head, and headed the ball towards Monterrey's goal.

Although the goalkeeper Orozko tried his best to respond, he was helpless in the face of Cheng Hai's tricky header that went straight to the upper left corner, and finally stood in the air and watched the ball enter the net.

In the 34th minute, Cheng Haiyan scored twice to help Dortmund take a 3-0 lead, basically securing the victory.

It was the last goal of the first half.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Although Monterrey scored a direct free kick in the 52nd minute to get back a goal, only a few minutes later, in the 59th minute, Cheng Hai intercepted the ball in the midfield and launched an attack with a long pass. In the end, Gundogan assisted Mario Gotze and scored a beautiful volley shot.

Dortmund leads Monterrey 4-1.

But this ball is not the last ball.

In the 75th minute, Dortmund made a successful quick counterattack. After a series of quick passes and moves in the frontcourt, Cheng Hai finally ran out of the penalty area to receive a wonderful pass from Gundogan with a low shot and kicked the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal.

Cheng Hai scored a hat-trick to help Dortmund take a 5-1 lead.

This is an absolute victory, and it is impossible for the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu to come back.

Therefore, Klopp immediately made substitution adjustments, replacing Cheng Hai, Gundogan and Lewandowski, the three most important people in the frontcourt, to rest, and to avoid Monterrey's red-eyed malicious foul on the three of them, which caused them to be injured.

Dortmund is determined to beat Corinthians in the final to win the championship, but no one can be injured in the semi-finals.Especially the three most important players in the frontcourt, they can't take any risks.

Even if Cheng Hai was never easily injured, Klopp would not take the risk.

After Cheng Hai, Gundogan, and Lewandowski left the field, Monterrey launched a fierce offensive, but Dortmund's Kyle, Hummels and others in the backcourt were not replaced, and their performance was still stable.

Until the end of the game, Monterrey did not score a single goal.

After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. Dortmund beat their opponents 2012-5 in the semi-finals of the 1 Club World Cup and advanced to the final.

They will compete with Brazil in the final for the 2012 Club World Cup.
