Cheng Hai's play was naturally closely guarded by the Offenbacha players, for fear that he would suddenly run out of the gap to receive the ball and shoot directly to score.

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

In the starting line-up up front, Le Tale is in the center, Shinji Kagawa in midfield, and Foylna and Owomoela in the wings.

Except for Shinji Kagawa, the others have not played with Cheng Hai in official matches a few times at all, and the cooperation is very unfamiliar.

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

And Cheng Hai, even if he gives up the practice of running without the ball to grab a point to shoot, and acts as a tactical center with his strong physique, if he wants to occupy a position in the penalty area to make the ball for his teammates, he will not be able to create any threat.

Or because of the unfamiliar cooperation, as well as Cheng Hai's own vision, passing skills and other limitations, Cheng Hai can't be a tactical center today.

In the end, he had to go back to his old job, constantly running inside and outside the penalty area, trying to find opportunities.

It's just that in the case of the lack of tacit cooperation with his teammates, coupled with the fact that the field is slippery on a rainy day, even if Cheng Hai runs out of the gap, it is difficult for his teammates to send the ball to his feet just right.

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 for Cheng Hai.

But this is the case today, and Cheng Hai is helpless.

Then, in the 89th minute, Offenbacha's possession of the ball was pressed by Dortmund's midfielder and the ball was passed back to the goalkeeper in the box until the last defender was forced by Retalé to pass the ball to the goalkeeper in the box.

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

Because he found that the opponent's return pass was due to rain, and when it was passed to the line of the big penalty area, it suddenly fell into a puddle and did not move.

Although Cheng Hai and Le Tale were far away, it was impossible to grab the ball, which was easily picked up by the goalkeeper of Offenbacha and then crossed to the full-back to regain control of the ball.

However, Cheng Hai saw a little opportunity in the other party's return.

I am not familiar with my teammates, and it is easy to make mistakes, and it is difficult to run out of space 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, closer, and in a sprint state, then the opponent's ball that accidentally stops in the puddle may be caught up by him and form a shot.

Cheng Hai recalled, in fact, this is not the first time that the players on both sides have fallen into a puddle, but there are a lot of times.

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

In this kind of weather and playing environment, it is very easy for the rolling ball to suddenly fall into a puddle and stop moving, and catch the receiving player off guard.

This is also where there are more mistakes on both sides in this game.

But it seems that everyone is used to it, and they only grab it when they are nearby, and they can't use it if it's a little farther away.

Because no one knows when or where the opponent makes a mistake, there is no way to make a targeted move.

Cheng Hai couldn't either.

But he can increase the chances of taking advantage of such mistakes.

Because Cheng Hai is the only player in the world who has reached the perfect state of running without the ball and grabbing points.

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

Once the opponent makes a mistake in the return pass, 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, forming a chance to shoot.

Although it is difficult to grasp the degree of this, the opponent cannot be so cooperative, and it depends on luck, etc., this opportunity may appear in the next second, or it may not appear in a penalty shootout.

But in short, a possible way to attack.

Therefore, after Offenbacha made this return pass mistake, Cheng Hai began to consciously use his off-ball running position to guess the opponent's passing route and possible mistake points according to the trajectory of the ball, so as to increase the probability of his sudden break as much as possible.

However, such opportunities are not available.

At least, in the remaining minutes, Cheng Hai did not encounter it.

After three minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the 90-minute regular game, and the two sides took a 0-0 break before going into 30 minutes of extra time.

In extra time, the rain still didn't stop, there were still a lot of puddles on the pitch, and there were many mistakes from both sides.

It's just that neither side was able to grasp the opponent's mistakes.

Cheng Hai still didn't get any good shots on goal.

However, he was not in a hurry. He is still patiently waiting for the opponent to be able to appear, or there may not be a mistake in the backcourt.

The opportunity never appeared, or it appeared but appeared in the wrong position, and Cheng Hai couldn't grab it.

So, as time went by, Cheng Hai played longer and longer, and his physical strength began to feel exhausted and unable to run.

Cheng Hai was a little anxious.

But when the opportunity did not appear, he had no choice but to continue to adjust his running direction and speed according to the position of the ball and the running position of the players on both sides, expecting the opponent's mistakes.

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

It was also a situation where the opponent had to pass back step by step under the pressure of many Dortmund midfielders, and the same situation was when the opposing central defender was forced by a Dortmund player to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper in the penalty area.

At the moment when the defender passed the ball out, Cheng Hai's eyes flashed and he immediately rushed towards the ball.

Because he has been paying attention to the opponent's penalty area, Cheng Hai knows almost everything about the puddle near the opponent's penalty area.

At the moment when the defender passed the ball back, Cheng Hai's full-value point-grabbing skills had a keen insight into the ball path, and there was a small puddle on the ball rolling road, which had pit the opponent once before.

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

And this time, if the bocce ball passed back by the opponent passed through that puddle and fell into it again, then Cheng Hai's distance might have grabbed the ball.

Therefore, the moment he judged the way of the ball, Cheng Hai rushed up from the side. He's going to gamble, he's going to bet on the chance that this one might come up.

And the goalkeeper of Offenbacha, 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 immediately relaxed.

As long as the ball rolls over at the current rolling speed, Cheng Hai will not be able to grab the ball.

In order not to be forced by Cheng Hai who rushed up to make a mistake, the goalkeeper also stepped back a little, the original intention was to widen the distance from Cheng Hai and calmly dispose of this return pass.

As a result, just as he took a step back and retreated from the big penalty area to the small penalty area, the ball that was rolling towards him suddenly splashed when it passed the top line of the arc of the big penalty area, and then stopped there, as if the brakes had been suddenly slammed.

The goalkeeper was stunned and immediately leaned forward and rushed towards where the ball had stopped.

However, his speed was comparable to that of Cheng Hai, who had prepared early.

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

Almost instinctively, he estimated the distance between himself and the ball, adjusted his pace slightly, Cheng Hai was equivalent to running a few steps, and then grabbed a volley before the attacking goalkeeper and pumped the ball into 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 instinctively pounced to the near corner.

There was no way, the distance between the two sides was too close, and he couldn't wait for Cheng Hai to finish the shot and then make a save according to the ball, so he could only gamble on luck and pounce on the near end.

But apparently, he lost the bet.

The ball flew behind him with a splash of water and flew into the Offenbacha goal without any hindrance.

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

In the 103rd minute of extra time, Cheng Hai finally grabbed a mistake caused by the opponent's return pass due to the field and kicked the ball into the goal of Offenbacha, helping Dortmund take a 1-0 lead.

The goal came too late, it went in too late, it was too hard.

So much so that even Cheng Hai, who had scored a goal, excitedly ignored the fact that he was not physically fit after kicking the ball in, and waved his arms excitedly in celebration while rushing to the away team stands on the sidelines.

More than 1,000 die-hard Dortmund fans who came with the team shouted Cheng Hai's name and celebrated his goal.

Although the opponent is only a Bundesliga team, it is no wonder that the fans are excited to achieve a one-goal lead after fighting for so long.

On the other hand, the players and fans of Offenbacha are a little discouraged.

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

Finally, Dortmund was tied in regular time due to factors such as Dortmund being on a group of substitutes, not paying attention to the game, and weather reasons, and then dragged it into extra time.

Everyone thought they could drag into the penalty shootout and then fight for half of the chance to advance.

Unexpectedly, they made a mistake when they returned the pass, and Cheng Hai caught the opportunity to do it overnight.

Cheng Hai's fame is getting bigger and bigger, and he is being controlled and studied by his opponents more and more, and Offenbacha is not not taking it seriously.

However, the goal conceded this time was not created by Dortmund's passing and cutting run, it was purely Offenbacha's defenders who did not notice that puddle was generated when they returned the pass, and they were caught off guard, so that even if they are the deputy mayor, they need heroes who can peak this wolf.

Now that Dortmund are 1-0 up, Offenbacha will need to at least equalise and go to penalties if they want to advance.

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

So, under the intervention of the referee, Cheng Hai and others ended their celebration and returned to their own half to wait for the opponent to open the ball.

After the game restarted, Dortmund almost all of them retreated, except for Cheng Hai, who was almost exhausted of physical energy.

The tacit understanding in the attack is insufficient, but with the numerical advantage in the defense, Dortmund can still support it.

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

Extra-time in both halves was quickly over, and Offenbacha couldn't find the back of the net for Borussia Dortmund in the end.

Borussia Dortmund, who played mostly as substitutes, qualified for the third round of the 2010/2011 season thanks to a goal scored by Cheng Hai in the 103rd minute of extra time who took advantage of a mistake in the opponent's return pass, to win 1-0 away at Offenbacha and advance to the third round of the 2010/2011 season.

As the only person to score a goal 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 level 19 643,600/700,000, and he is already close to upgrading.

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 in this game, Klopp obviously gave up this game and gave up the German Cup.

As a result, I didn't expect that Dortmund, who had already entered overtime, was still seized by Cheng Hai 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 the team.

Because that would be very demoralizing.

No coach can blame a player for a victory, even if it doesn't fit the team's overall strategy.

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

Back at the training base, Borussia Dortmund began to prepare for their next Bundesliga game.

This 10th round of the Bundesliga match is definitely a blockbuster duel for Dortmund and Mainz, who are at the top of the standings.

Because, this is a direct dialogue between the two teams at the top of the current Bundesliga standings, a battle for the top spot.

If Mainz wins, they will cement their position at the top of the table. And once Dortmund win, they will overtake Mainz and move to the top of the table again.

For both sides, this game cannot afford to lose.

Jurgen Klopp's abandonment of the last German Cup game also meant to prepare for this battle for the top spot.

After all, the last German Cup game was away, this battle for the top spot is away, and the next UEFA Cup group stage game is away.

With consecutive away games, different competitions, and tight schedules, it was all too normal for Jurgen Klopp to give up on cup competitions.

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

But the next round of the German Cup is a long time later, and what Cheng Hai wants to play now is the battle for the top spot in the Bundesliga standings.

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

For Cheng Hai, the confrontation ability has been improved.

At 16:30 p.m. on October 31, 2010, with the referee's whistle, a key battle in the 10th round of the 2010/2011 Bundesliga season - the top of the standings Mainz VS the second Dortmund in the standings officially began at the Opel Arena, the home stadium of Mainz, which can accommodate more than 30,000 people.

In terms of substance, Mainz can not be compared with Dortmund, a Bundesliga giant.

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

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

Once the game began, Mainz took advantage of the home advantage and began to attack aggressively, hoping to score first to break the deadlock.

However, Dortmund is also the main force, the back line is extremely complete, and it is not afraid of Mainz's attack.

Although Mainz were keen to score a lead, they have not been able to make much progress in front of Borussia Dortmund's formidable backline.

On the contrary, it was Dortmund's side, because Mainz pressed the attack and wanted to score early, which caused some emptiness in the backfield and was seized by Dortmund.

In the 26th minute, Mario Gotze, who started the game, played two combinations with his teammates on the side and passed one of the opponent's defenders, and did not cross the bottom, but suddenly cut inside, and then made a collision with his teammates and scored in the penalty area.

Borussia Dortmund took a 1-0 lead away from home.

In the stands, thousands of die-hard Hornets fans who accompanied the team to the away stadium suddenly erupted in 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 failed to score.

Of course, Dortmund did not score again, and the two sides went into the break with a score of 0-1, and Dortmund, who were playing away, temporarily took the lead.

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

Mainz, for their part, made a substitution at half-time and continued to intensify their attack in an attempt to quickly equalise.

But Borussia Dortmund's backline played very well today, not to mention scoring, and Mainz didn't even have a couple of dangerous shots on goal in the second half.

And, to add insult to injury, in the 67th minute, Dortmund suddenly inserted an assist from full-back Piszczek in a wide attack, and a cross from the side sent the ball to the head of center forward Barrios.

Barrios scrambled to the first point in the box and headed the ball into the Mainz goal.

Suddenly, the Dortmund fans on the scene and in front of the TV began their carnival again.

Borussia Dortmund have a two-goal lead over Mainz and are likely to win this game to move to the top of the table again.

Not only the fans, but also the players on and off the field rushed together to stack Luohan to celebrate the 2-0 score.

Of course, it's not the end of the world to be two goals down, and there are even examples of stoppage-time goals being scored twice in stoppage time to turn the game around.

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