Chapter 243: Sensational World

Before the 90s, no one in world football had ever scored a hat-trick from a free-kick, and it was considered a miracle that no one could do until 1994.

In April 1994, Giuseppe Signori scored a hat-trick from a free-kick against Atalanta in a match against Lazio in Serie A, becoming the first person in the history of world football to score a hat-trick from a free-kick in an official professional match.

Kostas Franzeskis and Ray McKinnon then scored hat-tricks of free-kicks in the 1997 Greek and Scottish top flights.

The last one was Mihajlovic, known as the "King of Free Kicks", who scored a hat-trick of free kicks on 13 December 1998 when Lazio scored a hat-trick of free kicks in three free kicks against Sampdoria in the home game against Sampdoria.

In the nineties, in just four years, there were 4 free kick hat-tricks, and everyone thought that with the study of free kick technology becoming more and more scientific, there would be more and more free kick hat-tricks.

However, it turned out that everyone thought too much, and Mihajlovic's free kick hat-trick became the last free kick hat-trick in world football before Cheng Hai, and it has been 14 years since then, and no one has been able to replicate it.

Because Mihajlovic himself is a master of free kicks, and that game is the top competition in Serie A, it is still the closest game to the present, so in most people's memory, it seems that only Uncle Miha, in the history of football, has scored a hat-trick of free kicks.

In fact, before today, four people had scored a hat-trick from a free-kick, but everyone else was far less famous than Mihajlovich.

But no matter how you look at it, it is an unbeatable record to score a hat-trick of free kicks in a single game.

And today, Cheng Hai pushed this record to a climax.

First of all, it was the first time in 14 years that Mihajlovic had scored a hat-trick from a free-kick.

Secondly, this is the Champions League, and it is also the semi-finals of the Champions League, which is much higher than Serie A, as well as the Greek and Scottish leagues.

Finally, the opponent of the game is the best club of the 20th century, the galaxy Battleship Real Madrid, and the goalkeeper is the world's top goalkeeper Casillas.

Scoring a hat-trick of free kicks in such an event, on such an occasion, and in the face of such an opponent naturally detonated the global media after the game.

"Champions League semi-finals Dortmund 3-0 Real Madrid, Cheng Hai's free kick hat trick detonated Westfaren Stadium! 》

"In the first leg of the Champions League semifinals Dortmund VS Real Madrid, Cheng Hai scored a hat trick of free kicks to chase the record of Hajlovic! 》

"Cheng Hai scored a hat trick of free kicks and became the first person in the history of the Champions League! 》

"San Cassie was humiliated by Cheng Hai three times in a game with a free kick directly! 》

"A hat trick of free kicks in a single game, Cheng Haicheng is the first person to take free kicks for active players! 》

The hat-trick of free kicks has never been seen by many fans in their lives, and some people have never even heard of it, so it naturally attracted countless fans to bow and worship, and their admiration for Cheng Hai is like a surging river.

"Oh my God, three free-kicks in one game, it's beyond my imagination."

"I thought Mihajlovic's free kick hat-trick was a swan song, but I didn't expect that after 14 years, Cheng Hai would be able to replicate Uncle Miha's miracle."

"You know Miha, I didn't even think about scoring three free-kicks in one game. If it weren't for Cheng Hai, I wouldn't even know Mihajlovic's hat-trick from a free kick. ”

"It's awesome, Cheng Hai is really the best."

"You say, will Cheng Hai be the first person to stage a free kick in the future?"

"Damn, upstairs is simply unthinkable! A hat-trick of free kicks is shocking enough, do you still want to have a free kick big four? However, I think it is possible for Cheng Hai to achieve it? ”

"Yes! If someone can really be the first to achieve the miracle of a free kick in a single game, I think it should also be Cheng Hai. Only a peerless genius like Cheng Hai can achieve such a miracle. ”

"That's too far, I just want to know how Real Madrid is feeling right now!"

"Haha, last season's semi-finals were eliminated by Dortmund, this season is coming again, and he was abused twice in the group stage, and the semi-finals are coming again, Mourinho is really miserable."

"Casillas is also miserable, he was pierced by Cheng Hai's free kick three times, and it was miserable!"

"Pathetic! Sympathize! ”

"Even the Galactic Battleship can be sympathized with, which shows the horror of Dortmund." In the heated discussion around the world about Cheng Hai's free kick hat trick, three days later, on April 27, in the 31st round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund challenged Dusseldorf away.

After 90 minutes, the score was 1-3 on the big screen.

Unsurprisingly, Fortuna Dusseldorf were comfortably beaten by Borussia Dortmund, and although the Hornets scored few goals, they were firmly in control of the game.

The reason for the low number of goals is because Klopp rotates a lot of players, after all, at the end of the season, everyone has some physical problems.

Even Cheng Hai did not start, but came off the bench in the second half.

In the last game, Cheng Hai was shoveled behind Ramos's back, although after the game's more careful inspection proved that there was no big problem, Klopp was still more careful and did not let Cheng Hai start one after another, but only came off the bench in the second half, and only scored one goal, but also had an assist.

With the win, Borussia Dortmund continued their unbeaten run so far this season, topping the 2012/2013 Bundesliga table with 28 wins, three draws, 0 defeats and 84 points.

Bayern Munich, who finished second, is also strong and has not fallen behind, winning all of its matches in recent rounds.

But with fewer games to go until the end of the season, Bayern Munich's chances of beating Borussia Dortmund to win the Bundesliga title this season are getting slimmer.

Borussia Dortmund are currently top of the standings with 84 points, while Bayern Munich is second with 79 points.

Although the difference is only 5 points, it does not seem big, but you must know that the 31st round has ended at this time, and there are only 3 rounds of league left in the Bundesliga, which has only 18 teams and 34 league games in a season.

And even more coincidentally, Dortmund's opponent in the next round of the league is Bayern Munich: on April 30, in the 32nd round of the 2012/2013 Bundesliga season, Dortmund will host Bayern Munich at the Westfaren Stadium.

This is not only the German national derby, but also the battle for the top spot of the Bundesliga this season, and it is also a battle that can directly determine the title of the Bundesliga this season.

Because, as long as Dortmund wins at home against Bayern Munich, they will lead Bayern Munich by 8 points with only two rounds left in the league, step on the corpse of the national derby rival, win the 2012/2013 Bundesliga championship two rounds in advance, and achieve the third consecutive Bundesliga title, which is an indisputable fact that the Dortmund dynasty sits on the ground.
