King of the Zone

Cheng Hai's playing was naturally closely marked by Offenbach's players, for fear that he would suddenly run out of space to catch the ball and score directly.

But in fact, Cheng Hai is not very familiar with these substitute teammates on the field.

In the starting lineup of the frontcourt, the center forward is Le Talay, the midfielder is Shinji Kagawa, and the midfielders on both sides are Feuerner and Owomoyela.

Except for Shinji Kagawa, the others had never played against Cheng Hai in official matches a few times, and the cooperation was very unfamiliar.

Coupled with the impact of the rain, it greatly affected everyone's passing and running positions. The teammates did not send any threatening balls to Cheng Hai's feet.

And Cheng Hai, even if he gave up the practice of running without the ball to grab a shot and acted as a tactical center with his strong physique, he couldn't create any threat if he wanted to occupy a position in the penalty area and play the ball for his teammates.

Or because of his unfamiliarity with the team, as well as the limitations of Cheng Hai's own vision, passing skills, etc., Cheng Hai couldn't even think about being a tactical center today.

In the end, I had no choice but to return to my old job, running constantly inside and outside the penalty area, trying to find opportunities.

However, in the case of teammates not cooperating tacitly, and because of the wet and slippery field in rainy days, even if Cheng Hai ran out of space, it would be difficult for his teammates to send the ball to his feet properly.

From the 73rd minute to the 88th minute, a full 15 minutes passed, and Cheng Hai didn't even finish a shot.

This is an extremely rare thing in Cheng Hai.

But this is the situation today, Cheng Hai has nothing to do.

Then, in the 89th minute, Offenbacher's ball was pressed by Dortmund's central midfielders and the ball was passed back one step at a time until the last defender was pressed by Le Tale and passed the ball to the goalkeeper in the penalty area.

However, this ordinary return pass made Cheng Hai's heart suddenly moved.

Because he found that because of the rain, the opponent's return pass suddenly sank into a puddle when it was passed to the penalty area line.

Although Cheng Hai and Le Talay were both far away, it was impossible to grab the ball, and Offenbach's goalkeeper easily got it, and then crossed it to the full back to regain control of the ball.

However, Cheng Hai saw a little opportunity in the opponent's return pass.

I am not familiar with the cooperation with my teammates, it is easy to make mistakes, and it is difficult to run out of the gap where I can shoot.

But in today's weather, opponents are just as prone to mistakes.

For example, this time, it was because Cheng Hai was unprepared.

If he is prepared, the distance is closer, and he is in a sprint state, then the ball that the opponent accidentally stops in the puddle may be caught by him and form a shot.

Cheng Hai recalled it for a while. In fact, this is not the first time that players from both sides have passed the ball into puddles, but it has happened many times.

The puddles formed by the rain are not in one or two places on the field, but everywhere.

When the ground ball is passed in this kind of weather and competition environment, it is very easy for the rolling ball to suddenly sink into a puddle and stop, catching the player off guard.

This is also where both sides made more mistakes in this game.

But it seems that everyone is used to it. They only grab it when they are nearby, and they can't use it if they are far away.

Because no one knows when and where the opponent made a mistake, it is impossible to make a targeted move.

Cheng Hai couldn't help it either.

But he can increase the odds of taking advantage of the opponent's mistakes.

Because Cheng Hai is the only player in the world whose off-the-ball running and spot-grabbing skills have reached full-scale perfection.

With the help of these two skills, he can move to a position that is both unobtrusive and very close to the place where the opponent may make a mistake.

Once the opponent makes a return pass error, Cheng Hai's off-ball running and grabbing points can play a role, and it is possible to grab the ball before the opponent controls the ball and create a chance to shoot.

Although the speed of this is difficult to grasp, and the opponent is unlikely to cooperate that much, it depends on luck, etc., such an opportunity may appear in the next second, or it may not appear even if it is dragged into a penalty shootout.

But in short, it is a possible way of attack.

Therefore, after Offenbacher made this return pass error, Cheng Hai began to consciously use his off-ball running position to guess the opponent's passing route and possible mistakes based on the ball's trajectory, and increase his chance of suddenly stealing the ball as much as possible.

However, this opportunity is rare.

At least, Cheng Hai didn't meet him in the remaining few minutes.

After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the 90-minute regular game. The two sides took a break with a score of 0-0, and then entered 30 minutes of overtime.

In the extra time, the rain still did not stop, there were still many puddles on the court, and there were many mistakes on both sides.

However, both sides failed to grasp the opponent's mistakes.

Cheng Hai still didn't get any good chances to shoot.

However, he was not in a hurry.He is still patiently waiting for the opponent's backcourt error that may or may not appear.

The opportunity has never appeared, or it has appeared but in the wrong place, and Cheng Hai can't grab it.

So, as time went by, Cheng Hai's game time became longer and longer, and his physical fitness began to feel exhausted and unable to run.

Cheng Hai became a little anxious.

But he has nothing to do if the opportunity does not arise. He can only continue to adjust his running direction and speed according to the moving position of the ball and the running positions of the players on both sides, expecting the opponent's mistakes to appear.

Finally, at the 103rd minute, the opportunity Cheng Hai had been waiting for appeared.

It was also a situation where the opponent held the ball and had to pass back step by step under the pressure of many Dortmund midfielders. It was also a situation where the opponent's central defender passed the ball back to the goalkeeper in the penalty area under the pressure of a Dortmund player.

The moment the defender passed the ball, Cheng Hai's eyes flashed and he rushed towards the ball.

Because he has been paying attention to the opponent's restricted area, Cheng Hai is almost familiar with the puddles near the opponent's restricted area.

The moment the defender passed the ball back, Cheng Hai's full-value grabbing skills had a keen insight into the path of the ball, and there was a big puddle on the path where the ball rolled, and he had tricked the opponent once before.

It's just that Cheng Hai was a little farther away that time, and the opponent's goalkeeper was a little closer, so Cheng Hai didn't move, and he didn't make the mistake of trying to grab the opponent.

But this time, if the ground ball passed back by the opponent sinks into the puddle again, Cheng Hai may be able to grab the ball from the distance.

Therefore, the moment he judged the path of the ball, Cheng Hai rushed up from the side.He wants to bet, to bet on the chance that may arise this time.

And Offenbach's goalkeeper, when he saw his teammate's return pass rolling towards him, instinctively analyzed Cheng Hai's speed and the speed of the ball rolling, and was immediately relieved.

As long as the ball rolls at the current rolling speed, it is impossible for Cheng Hai to grab the ball.

In order not to be missed by Cheng Hai, who was rushing up close to him, the goalkeeper stepped back a little. His original intention was to distance himself from Cheng Hai and deal with the return pass calmly.

As a result, just as he took a step back and retreated from the big penalty area to the small penalty area line, the ball that was rolling towards him suddenly splashed a splash of water when it passed the top line of the big penalty area, and then stopped there motionless, as if the brakes were suddenly stepped on.

The goalkeeper suddenly turned pale with fright, leaned forward immediately, and rushed out to the place where the ball stopped.

However, his speed was no match for Cheng Hai, who had been prepared for a long time.

Cheng Hai, who was still sprinting, was overjoyed when he saw that the ball was stuck in the puddle, motionless as he expected, and caught the goalkeeper by surprise.

Almost instinctively, he estimated the distance between himself and the ball, adjusted his pace a little, and Cheng Hai took a few steps to run up, and then volleyed before the goalkeeper who was attacking, and drew the ball to the far corner of the goal.

When the goalkeeper found that he couldn't touch the ball before Cheng Hai, he knew it was going to be bad, and immediately rushed to the near corner instinctively.

There was no way, the distance between the two sides was too close, he had no way to wait for Cheng Hai to finish the shot and then make a save according to the path of the ball, so he could only bet on his luck and rushed to the near end.

But obviously, he lost the bet.

The ball flew behind him with a splash of water, and then rushed into Offenbach's goal without hindrance.

At that moment, countless Dortmund fans at the scene and in front of the TV gave out warm cheers.

In the 103rd minute of extra time, Cheng Hai finally grabbed a back pass error caused by the field and kicked the ball into Offenbacher's goal, helping Dortmund take a 1-0 lead.

This goal came too late, and it was too late and too difficult.

So much so that even Cheng Hai, who was so busy scoring goals, excitedly ignored the fact that he was not physically fit after kicking the ball in, and rushed to the visiting team stands on the sidelines while excitedly waving his arms to celebrate.

More than 1000 die-hard Dortmund fans who came with the team shouted Cheng Hai's name and cheered for his goal.

Although the opponent is only a Bundesliga team, it took so long to gain a one-goal lead after a fierce battle. It is no wonder that the fans are so excited.

On the other hand, Offenbach's players and fans were a little discouraged.

As a Bundesliga team, they know the gap between themselves and the Bundesliga giants.

Finally, with Dortmund on a group of substitutes, not paying attention to the game, plus weather and other factors, they tied with Dortmund in regular time, and then dragged into overtime.

Everyone thought that they could be dragged into a penalty shootout, and then fight for half the chance of advancing.

Unexpectedly, they made a mistake when passing back, and Cheng Hai caught the opportunity to make it happen overnight.

Cheng Hai's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and he is being controlled and studied by his opponents more and more. It's not that Offenbacher didn't take it seriously.

But this conceded goal was not caused by Dortmund's pass and cut movement. It was purely because Offenbach's defender didn't notice the puddle when he passed back, which caught them off guard and made them slow down even if they wanted to make up for it.

Now, Dortmund has a 1-0 lead. If Offenbach wants to advance, he must at least equalize the score and enter the penalty shootout.

Therefore, after Cheng Hai and his teammates celebrated excitedly for a long time, Offenbach's players protested to the referee, believing that Cheng Hai and others were delaying the game time while leading.

So, under the interference of the referee, Cheng Hai and others finished celebrating and returned to their own half to wait for the opponent to open the ball.

After the game restarted, Dortmund almost retreated except for Cheng Haihai, who was almost exhausted.

The tacit understanding in the offense is insufficient, but in the defense, relying on the numerical advantage, Dortmund can still support it.

After all, in such a weather environment, Offenbacher has no tacit understanding at all.

Overtime in the first and second half ended quickly, and Offenbacher failed to break through Dortmund's goal in the end.

以大部分替补出战的多特蒙德凭借程海在加时赛第103分钟利用对方回传失误打进的一个球，在客场1-0战胜奥芬巴查，晋级了2010/2011赛季德国被的第三轮。

As the only scorer in the game, Cheng Hai was naturally rated as the best player of the game by the system.

With the addition of goal awards, winning awards, etc., Cheng Hai's total experience has risen to 19/64.36 at level 70, and he is close to being promoted.

After the game, Cheng Hai, who scored the only goal, was naturally praised by the media and fans.But at the same time, many people also said that Cheng Hai's goal broke Klopp's strategic arrangement.

Judging from the starting lineup and squad sent by Klopp for this game, Klopp obviously gave up this game and the German Cup.

Unexpectedly, by mistake, Dortmund, who had already entered overtime, had Cheng Hai seized the opportunity of an opponent's back pass error and sent the ball into the opponent's goal.

After the game, Klopp also expressed a little helplessness.

However, he couldn't blame Cheng Hai and his team members.

Because that would hurt morale.

No coach can blame the players for the victory, even if the victory does not conform to the team's overall strategy.

Therefore, Klopp can only suppress the depression in his heart.

Back at the training base, Dortmund began preparing for the next Bundesliga game.

This 10th round of the Bundesliga match is definitely a blockbuster matchup between Dortmund and Mainz, which is at the top of the standings.

Because this is a direct dialogue between the top two teams in the current Bundesliga standings and a battle for the top spot.

If Mainz win, they will consolidate their top spot.Once Dortmund wins, they will overtake Mainz and once again reach the top of the standings.

For both sides, this game cannot afford to lose.

Klopp's abandonment of the last German Cup game also means preparing for this battle for the top spot.

After all, the last DFB-Pokal game was an away game, this battle for the top spot is an away game, and the next UEFA Cup group match is an away game.

With consecutive away games, different events, and a tight schedule, it is quite normal for Klopp to give up the cup.

It's just that now Cheng Hai has ruined his strategy and is forced to enter the next round of the German Cup.

But the next round of the German Cup will be a long time away. What Cheng Hai wants to fight now is still the battle for the top of the Bundesliga standings.

Before the start of the competition, Cheng Hai looked at his basic information and found that he had gained another 1kg, and his weight finally broke through the 70 mark.

For Cheng Hai, his confrontation ability has improved again.

2010年10月31日下午16:30，随着主裁判的一声哨响，2010/2011赛季德甲第10轮的一场焦点战——积分榜榜首美因茨VS积分榜第二多特蒙德的榜首大战在美因茨可以容纳3万多人的主场欧宝竞技场正式开始。

In terms of background, Mainz can not be compared with Dortmund, the Bundesliga giants.

Therefore, they attach great importance to reaching the top of the standings and do not want to be overthrown and topped by Dortmund.

This battle for the top spot, both fans and players of Mainz, take it very seriously.

After the start of the game, Mainz took advantage of the home game and began to attack aggressively, wanting to score first to break the deadlock.

However, Dortmund is also the main force, the defense is extremely complete, and they are not afraid of Mainz's attack.

Although Mainz wanted to score a goal lead, they have been unable to make much progress in front of Dortmund's strong defense.

Instead, it was Dortmund, because Mainz's aggressive attack wanted to score early, resulting in a bit of emptiness in the backcourt, and Dortmund seized the opportunity.

In the 26th minute, Mario Götze, who started the game, played two cooperations with his teammates on the wing and passed one of the opponent's defenders. Instead of making a pass from the bottom, he suddenly cut inside.

Dortmund took a 1-0 lead away from home.

In the stands, thousands of die-hard Hornet fans who accompanied the team on the away game erupted into huge and enthusiastic cheers.

After conceding a goal at home, Mainz had no choice but to attack.

However, until the end of the first half, Mainz still failed to score.

Of course, Dortmund did not score any more goals. The two sides entered the intermission with a score of 0-1. Dortmund, who played away, took the lead temporarily.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Mainz changed a player at halftime, continued to strengthen their offense, and tried to quickly equalize the score.

But Dortmund's defense played very well today, let alone scored goals. Mainz didn't even have a few threatening shots in the second half.

Moreover, to make matters worse, in the 67th minute, Dortmund was suddenly assisted by full-back Piszczek in a wing attack, and the ball was sent to center Barrios' head with a cross from the wing.

Barrios took the lead in the penalty area to grab the first point and headed the ball into Mainz's goal.

Immediately, Dortmund fans at the scene and in front of the TV started their carnival again.

Dortmund leads Mainz by two goals. It is very likely that they will win this game and will once again reach the top of the standings.

Not only the fans, but even the players on and off the field rushed to stack up Arhat to celebrate the 2-0 score.

Of course, falling behind by two goals is not the end of the world. In football, there are even examples of scoring two goals in stoppage time to reverse the game.

Therefore, Mainz has not given up, and they will continue to fight.
