King of the Zone

With two goals behind and had to attack aggressively, Schalke 04's defense always had a lot of loopholes.

It's just that Cheng Hai failed to seize the opportunity a few times before due to the limited passing and running cooperation between his teammates.

But in the 88th minute, Cheng Hai finally scored again.

But this time it was not Cheng Hai's single-handed goal, but Barrios got the ball first in the midfield, and then split it to the winger Gross Kreutz.

Gross Kreuz used speed to force past Schalke 04's last full-back on the wing, and then made a cross from the bottom.

But Barrios and Cheng Hai, who followed up in the middle, both ran a bit. Barrios in the front point had no chance at all, and Cheng Hai seemed unlikely to get the ball.

Just when the Schalke 04 players and fans breathed a sigh of relief, Cheng Hai suddenly turned around and leaned back, jumped up with both feet, and shot with an undercut.

Cheng Hai's own jumping ability is at full value, so this time Cheng Hai jumped very high.

Coupled with a barb shot, it looks quite shocking.

While everyone watching at the scene and in front of the TV, the ball in the air was kicked towards the goal by Cheng Hai with an undercut shot, and it hit the goal frame.

What's even more surprising is that Cheng Hai even played a tricky angle in this back hook situation, leaving goalkeeper Neuer beyond his reach, and finally could only watch helplessly as the ball flew into the net.

"Toooooooooooooooooooooooor..."

The German commentator in the commentary booth let out a long roar excitedly, and shouted:
"hat trick!"

"Cheng Hai completed a hat-trick with a shocking undercut shot!"

"Dortmund leads Schalke 3 0-04!"

"This is Cheng Hai's moment, Cheng Hai is the king of Westfalenstadion!"

Yes!

He scored a hat-trick in his first game back at the club. In the crucial Ruhr Derby, or in a 0-0 stalemate between the two sides, Cheng Hai scored a hat-trick after coming off the bench for more than 20 minutes.

Such a performance, which fan does not pay homage?
The live broadcast is also adding fuel to the flames, leading the fans to call Cheng Hai's name with the most enthusiastic shouts:
"In the 88th minute, Dortmund scored, and the goal was..."

"Cheng Hai!"

"The one who scored the goal was..."

"Cheng Hai!"

"The one who scored the goal was..."

"Cheng Hai!!!"

This wonderful overhead shot and hat-trick completely defeated the morale of Schalke 04.

After all, three goals behind, time is running out, even the players of Schalke 04 do not believe that they can reverse the comeback.

After 4 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. With Cheng Hai's hat-trick after coming off the bench, Dortmund beat Schalke 3 0-04 at home and double-killed their opponents in two Ruhr derbies this season.

After the game, Cheng Hai was surrounded by his teammates and interacted with the fans to thank them. Tens of thousands of Bumblebee fans chanted Cheng Hai's name unanimously, which made countless Huaguo fans and reporters excited and proud.

That night and the next day, the intense Ruhr Derby and Cheng Hai's hat-trick became the focus of heavy media coverage around the world.

"Derby in the Ruhr area, Cheng Hai's hat-trick led Dortmund to a 3-0 victory over Schalke 04! "

"Cheng Hai's hat-trick helped Dortmund beat Schalke 3 0-04, and elbowed the opponent to receive the first yellow card of his career! "

"Rainbow Extraordinary + Super Barb, Cheng Hai's perfect performance after the Asian Cup!" "

"Being maliciously kicked by the opponent, Cheng Hai received his first yellow card in his career with an elbow in retaliation!" "

"Fried meatballs, extraordinary rainbow, undercut shot, Cheng Hai's strength soared, easily staged a hat-trick and led Dortmund to win the Ruhr Derby! "

In addition to the heavy media reports, fans from all over the world are also divided into several factions and the world is turned upside down.

Cheng Hai's fans, Cheng Hai's compatriots, Dortmund fans, Schalke 04 fans, neutral people, rationalists, revengers, etc., were arguing.

"Cheng Hai is so awesome, he scored a hat-trick in less than 30 minutes from the bench!"

"That super undercut is simply gorgeous, absolutely classic!"

"I think that rainbow dribble goal is the most exciting."

"Rainbow is wonderful, but it is suspected of insulting people, and it is easy to be retaliated by others! Didn't Cheng Hai get kicked maliciously by Schmitz!"

"Hehe, speaking of Schmitz's flying kick, Cheng Hai dodged it and returned an elbow. Instead, Schmitz was bleeding out. Schmitz is really unlucky!"

"It deserves it! Who told him to kick Cheng Hai?"

"What deserves it? Cheng Hai was the one who insulted others with a rainbow first, and Schmitz did a good job of retaliating with kicks. It's just that Cheng Hai dog shit luck avoided it!"

"Yes, I'll see if Cheng Hai dares to use the rainbow to surpass others in the future! If he dares to use it again, he will definitely be retaliated against, and he may not be able to avoid it next time."

"It seems like Cheng Hai shouldn't use rainbows to pass people? Which FIFA rule says that rainbows are not allowed to pass people on the pitch?"

"That is, Cheng Hai's ability to pass Schmitz with a rainbow can only show that Cheng Hai's skills are superb, and Schmitz's defense is poor."

"That's right! I still don't accept it, and I want to kick to revenge. Now I'm at ease. I was injured by Cheng Hai's elbow and ended up bleeding, but Cheng Hai was almost unscathed. This is what I deserve!"

"I don't care who deserves it or not, anyway, I think Cheng Hai's rainbow is so beautiful, it makes me happy to see it! I hope Cheng Hai will have more rainbows or other beautiful breakthroughs in the future!"

"That's right, it's none of my business who is injured or not. I like to watch goals, no matter who they are! Today Cheng Hai's rainbow goal and undercut shot conquered me. I will stand by Cheng Hai! Schmitz deserves it!"

Generally speaking, in the world of football, winners and losers, whoever wins has the final say.

Just like football king Maradona, God's hand, drug addiction, girlfriend change, etc., all kinds of negative news are flying all over the sky, but it still can't stop countless people from liking him and regarding him as the football king.

why?
Isn't it because of his good football!

Cheng Hai is the same here.

Not to mention that his elbow was a revenge move on the premise of being kicked by Schmitz first, even if he was the first to foul, there are probably countless people who admire and like him.

Not for anything else, just because Cheng Hai can score more goals than Schmitz, and much more.

Being able to score goals is the last word.

Not only did Cheng Hai not lose fans because of elbowing opponents or yellow cards, but because of the tough guy and iron-blooded temperament shown in this conflict, he gained more popularity and popularity, and attracted more die-hard fans, even many female fans.

In addition to the joy of winning the derby, what makes Dortmund even more excited is that after the end of this round of the Bundesliga, the competitors at the bottom of the ranking either lost or drew, allowing Dortmund to lead the No.2 point gap to 14 points.

Therefore, in Dortmund's away game against Kaiserslautern in the 2nd round of the Bundesliga on February 12, Klopp did not play the main force, but carried out a lineup rotation to prepare for the next away UEFA Cup round of 22.

Although the opponent in the UEFA Cup is only an unknown small team from Belarus, Klopp still wants to win the UEFA Cup when the probability of winning the Bundesliga is extremely high, so he is very cautious.

The honor of the Bundesliga and UEFA Cup double is still very attractive!
What's more, it's only February at this time, and it's winter.In Belarus, the temperature is still very low, generally around minus 2 degrees, and it is not yet known whether it will snow or not.

Therefore, even if the opponent is weak, Klopp still has to take it seriously, so he made a rotation in the 22nd round of the Bundesliga against Kaiserslautern.

Kaiserslautern did seize the opportunity of this home game, and the visiting team Dortmund was not the main force, and scored 2-0 in the first half.

Although Cheng Hai scored two goals in a row after coming off the bench in the second half, he only equalized the score and failed to win the game.

In the end, the two sides fought to a 2-2 draw.

Although the No.2 competitor in the standings has narrowed the distance by 2 points, Dortmund has a relatively large lead in the league, and everyone is not panicked.

Now, what everyone pays more attention to is the upcoming UEFA Cup [-]th final.

As time went on, the team's heart grew heavier and heavier.

Because, according to the weather forecast, there is a high probability of snow on the match day in Minsk, the Belarusian capital where Dortmund's opponent Borisov Batt in the UEFA Cup round of [-] is located.

At this time, the temperature in Germany is around 0 degrees, while the temperature in Belarus is around minus 10 degrees. There is a big difference.

And once it snows, it will have a greater impact on Dortmund's away game.

Everyone is praying for a miracle, no snow, and higher temperatures.

But everyone's prayers didn't help.

On February 2, after the Dortmund team flew to Minsk, the capital of Belarus, the moment they walked out of the hatch, Cheng Hai couldn't help shivering and gasped.

Cheng Hai, who was born in Qianzhou Province in the southwest of China, has seen such a heavy snowfall once or twice when he was a child. With the greenhouse effect and the increase of average temperature, he has not seen such a heavy snowfall for many years.

What's more, his hometown is known as Xiaojiangnan in northern Guizhou, and even in the coldest winter, the temperature rarely drops below 0 degrees.

As a result, what he saw when he walked out of the hatch was the snowflakes flying all over the sky, and the cold wind that made people shiver.

According to the weather forecast, the temperature in Minsk at this time is minus 20 degrees - minus 10 degrees.Even though it is daytime now, the temperature is higher, minus 10 degrees, which is a coldness that Cheng Hai has never felt.

The same is true for other Dortmund players. Few have experienced such minus 10 degrees temperature and heavy snow. It is similar to Cheng Hai's feeling.

Gotze, who was standing next to Cheng Hai, was dumbfounded and asked, "Can the game be played normally in this weather? It won't be cancelled, right?"

Cheng Haidao: "It's good to cancel it! What I'm afraid of is that even if it's snowing heavily, we still have to compete."

Lewandowski said behind: "Let's go, it's impossible to cancel, it's just heavy snow, not heavy rain! Such an important UEFA Cup [-]th final, it will be very troublesome to reschedule the game. Even if it rains heavily, I'm afraid we have to play normally!"

Everyone could only shrink their necks and pull their suitcases to get off the plane quickly. They didn't feel better until the bus pulled them to the hotel and had air conditioning.

The original plan was to go to the stadium for training in the evening to get used to the local turf and environment, but it was canceled due to the heavy snowfall.

Before coming, Klopp even prepared the starting list, ready to play the main force and strive to win away games.

But seeing such a ghostly weather, Klopp didn't think about winning the away game anymore. The most important thing is not to hurt the players and bring the players back to Germany safely.

In this weather, it is an away game again, the opponent's home court advantage is infinitely magnified, and playing football on snow is also prone to injury.

Therefore, in arranging the starting list, Klopp made changes to a group of less prone to injury and unimportant substitutes, so as to avoid the injury of the core main force from affecting the subsequent games.

This is a two-round knockout match, and it's not a game to determine the outcome, but there is no need to work hard in this game.

Moreover, the schedule of first away and then home is also a big advantage for Dortmund. In the second round, more reasonable tactical choices can be made based on the results of the first round.

Of course, in tomorrow's game, the most important shooter, Cheng Hai, will still play.It's not just because Cheng Hai is not easy to get hurt, but also because of Cheng Hai's deterrent power.

As long as Cheng Hai is on the court, the opponent's defense will not dare to attack aggressively, which will reduce the pressure on the defense and concede fewer goals, and preserve hope for a comeback in the second round.

What's more, as long as Cheng Hai is on the field, it is possible to score an away goal, and the promotion to the second round is much better.

There was nothing to say all night, after a night of blizzard, the snow was much smaller during the day the next day, just some scattered snowflakes.

However, even though the snow on the course was cleaned, the melted snow still made the course look very muddy.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the home team deliberately did not drain well and deliberately caused trouble for Dortmund.

They are used to playing on such a field, and they can be used to deal with German teams like Dortmund.

On the afternoon of February 2011, 2 local time, the football stadium in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, which can only accommodate more than 17 spectators, was full of seats. Almost all of them were full of BATE Borisov fans. There were only one or two hundred away fans from Dortmund. They looked so lonely surrounded by BATE Borisov fans.

But the more this is the case, the more it seems that these fans are hardcore and loyal.

However, in a stadium full of home team fans, these visiting fans are too inconspicuous.

If they hadn't brought a large spray-painted Dortmund team logo, Cheng Hai and others would not have been able to find out where their visiting team fans were.

As for the fans of BATE Borisov's home team, the more excited the weather is today, there are even shirtless Russian men in the stands cheering for the home team, not afraid of the cold at all.

Obviously, today's weather allowed them to see the possibility of the home team defeating Dortmund and gaining the initiative to advance.

If they can defeat Bundesliga leader Dortmund and advance to the top [-], then they will make a big splash.

At 15:00 in the afternoon, with the whistle of the referee, the first round of the 2010/2011 UEFA Cup quarter-finals Borisov BART VS Borussia Dortmund officially began.

Unable to adapt to the weather in Minsk, coupled with the poor snow field, and most of the starting players are substitutes, Dortmund will naturally not be able to please the away Minsk football stadium.

Belarusian players have advantages in height and physical fitness, plus it is their own stadium, so they can play with ease.Soon, in the 14th minute, Borisov Butt took advantage of a cross from the wing. Center Bressan jumped high in the middle and scored with a header, breaking through the goal guarded by substitute goalkeeper Langerak.

BATE Borisov led Dortmund 1-0, and the fans of the home team in the stands burst into earth-shattering roars. The crowd of more than 5000 fans looked like the explosion of tens of thousands of fans.

The excitement of the home team fans can be seen.

Although they know that the weather and venue are beneficial to them, it is just an analysis. Only now, when it is transformed into real goals and leads, is it enough to make everyone feel more excited and proud.

Of course, the BATE players on the field know that a 1-0 score is not safe.

Not to mention that they were going to play the second round at the Westfalenstadion, the most famous home stadium of the Devils in Europe. Cheng Hai, who was sitting on the bench, made them very nervous.

Borisov Bate, who continued to attack, scored his second goal in the 38th minute.

This time it was also a header, but it was not a side attack in a sports game, but a corner kick was passed to the center. The central defender Bodachev, who stepped forward to participate in the attack, scored with a powerful header and headed the ball into Dortmund's goal.

After the first half, BATE Borisov, who played at home, took a 2-0 lead.

However, this does not make the home team players and coaches feel at ease.

During the intermission, the coach of the home team specifically told the players to continue to attack aggressively after the start of the second half, trying to score another goal before Cheng Hai went on the field.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Borisov Butt's players followed the instructions of the head coach and continued to attack aggressively, trying to score another goal and extend the lead to 3-0.

However, at halftime, Klopp replaced a main central defender Hummels. Hummels played a considerable role in the second half of the game.

Until the 63rd minute, the fourth official raised the electronic card for substitutions, No. 9 Cheng Hai, and No. 10 Qi Dan.

Dortmund finally replaced the nuclear weapon Cheng Hai on the bench. Amidst the cheers of hundreds of fans of the Hornets away team, even Borisov Bate players and fans who led by two goals showed serious expressions on their faces.

The appearance of goal machine Cheng Hai marks that Dortmund's situation of being beaten with almost no power to fight back will be greatly changed.

Borisov Butt's offensive power will be forced to weaken, and the possibility of losing the ball in the defense has also increased many times.
