King of the Zone

The second round match between Dortmund and Shakhtar Donetsk was one of the first two games. The other game was Real Madrid VS Manchester United. In the end, Real Madrid defeated Manchester United with a total score of 3-2 in the two rounds. Together with Dortmund, they became the first two teams to advance to the quarterfinals.

As for the remaining six teams, they will be formed one after another in the following time, and the latest game will not be known until March 3.

Returning to the league, on March 3th, the 9th round of the Bundesliga, the Ruhr Derby, Dortmund challenged Schalke 25 away.

As the most intense derby in the same city in German football, Schalke 04 will not feel inferior or shrink back in the game just because their performance in the past two years is not as good as that of Dortmund.

Dortmund's brilliant and dazzling results, on the contrary, stimulated the desire of the Schalke 04 players to compete with Dortmund in this kind of derby.

If they can defeat Dortmund, the mortal enemy who is the hegemon of the six crowns, in the derby, even if nothing is achieved in one season, it will be enough for Schalke 04 players and fans to brag for a year.

Therefore, this Ruhr Derby held at the Schalke Stadium was extremely intense, even tragic.

Only 3 minutes into the game, Schalke 04 defender Kolasinacci fouled Mario Gotze, who was breaking through with the ball from the wing, and received the first yellow card of the game, kicking off the fierce confrontation of the game.

In this fierce derby in the Ruhr area, the two sides produced a total of 6 yellow cards, 2 red cards, and two people were injured. Even the forward Cheng Hai, who did not take cards easily, received a yellow card for elbowing his opponent on the forehead during the competition.

The score of the game also proved how tight this game was: 3-3.

Schalke 04 failed to beat rivals Borussia Dortmund at home, and Dortmund also failed to win away, and the two sides drew in a fierce derby.

Cheng Hai only scored one goal in the game, but also had one assist, so his performance was relatively poor.

Of course, the so-called poor performance is only for Cheng Hai's own goal rate per game.

For others, this is Cheng Hai's 22 consecutive goals in all competitions. Everyone can only look up and worship.

After the intense Ruhr Derby and a day's rest, on March 3, Cheng Hai flew to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with his girlfriend Ania, agent Baker, assistant Yue Yonghao and others.

At 3:11 on the evening of March 19, local time in Brazil, the 2013 Laureus World Sports Awards ceremony was held in Rio de Janeiro.

In 2012, he led Borussia Dortmund to win the Bundesliga, German Cup, Champions League, German Super Cup, European Super Cup, and Club World Cup. He also led the Hua Guo Olympic team to win the London Olympic men's football gold medal. He scored 183 goals throughout the year and won the Golden Boot and the best player in all competitions. .

Cheng Hai has won the Lawrence World Sports Award for the best of the year for two consecutive years, plus the annual six-time champion and the Golden Globe Award, he can already be called the No. 1 in today's world sports.

Not football.

Sports has no national boundaries. Even if Cheng Hai is a yellow-skinned Asian or Chinese, it does not prevent fans all over the world from adoring him.

Regardless of skin color, nationality, or religion, as long as you watch Cheng Hai's competitions, it's hard not to be overwhelmed by his performance.
