The next day, the Chinese team returned to China on an Air China chartered flight.

This time, Cheng Hai did not return to Germany directly from Qatar, but returned to China with the team.

The first Asian Cup championship in the history of Huaguo, Cheng Hai is the captain again, how can he be missing from the championship celebration?

When the charter flight landed at Beiping International Airport, the slogan "Congratulations to the Chinese team for winning the Asian Cup" was displayed on the airport terminal.

There were also leaders from the General Administration of Sports, the Football Association, dozens of media, and 200 fan representatives, who went directly to the tarmac to welcome the return of the Chinese team.

When the cabin door opened and Cheng Hai and Gao Hongbo appeared at the cabin door holding the championship trophy together, warm applause and cheers suddenly rang out, and the flashing lights of the media reporters also lit up.

There was even a red carpet on the tarmac to welcome the arrival of the Chinese team.

Cheng Hai and others received the enthusiastic care of the leaders of the General Administration of Sports and the Football Association, and Zhang Linpeng's injury was condoled by each leader.

In fact, Zhang Linpeng is just a small injury, just recuperate for a few days.

However, in the context of the Chinese team winning the Asian Cup, Zhang Linpeng's small injury has also become a heroic injury for the country, which is worthy of the leaders' concern and express their leadership mind.

After a brief welcome ceremony on the tarmac, everyone left the airport from the VIP tunnel and boarded a double-decker open-top bus to the Huaguo National Stadium, commonly known as the Bird's Nest.

There, there are many more fans waiting for the arrival of the national team to hold a celebration ceremony.

Although Tiananmen Square was relatively large enough to accommodate more fans to participate in the celebration, the place was too sacred for this kind of sports celebration, so it was arranged to be held in the Bird's Nest.

Although the Bird's Nest is large enough to accommodate more than 90,000 spectators, it is a drop in the bucket for the huge number of Chinese fans.

Not to mention the fans who came from other places, how many fans are there in Beiping City, which has a population of more than 20 million?

The Bird's Nest, with a capacity of 90,000 people, is filled in minutes.

The celebration of the Bird's Nest has been arranged for a long time, but the celebration must wait for the Chinese team to win the championship before it can enter the real preparations.

After the Chinese team won the championship last night, the Football Association began to sell tickets overnight, and more than 90,000 tickets were sold out before the Chinese team boarded and departed from Qatar.

What about fans who didn't get tickets?

They also want to see the national team that won the championship, and they want to see the championship trophy of the Asian Cup.

Therefore, the bus from the airport did not take the shortest route to the National Stadium, but after arriving in the city, it came around the city to celebrate, and finally passed through Tiananmen Square and then turned towards the Bird's Nest.

Along the way, millions of fans gathered on both sides of the bus and on the surrounding buildings, and the Chinese national flag was hung everywhere, and the shouts of "Come on the Chinese team" and "We are the champions" were heard everywhere the bus passed.

In the end, the team had a celebration with more than 90,000 fans at the Bird's Nest for more than an hour, and was received by a senior leader, before returning to the hotel arranged by the Football Association for a celebration banquet.

The next day, it was the commendation meeting of the General Administration of Sports, and everyone received a lot of bonuses, and then they collectively accepted a CCTV-5 interview.

It wasn't until the third day that Cheng Hai was able to step on the plane to Germany.

Cheng Hai had to go back.

Dortmund's next game is the Ruhr derby against Schalke 04, and in order to ensure the victory, Klopp made several phone calls to urge Cheng Hai to go back, and Cheng Hai couldn't shirk it.

Of course, I don't want to shirk it.

The domestic celebration is almost the same, and the domestic media have been completely swiped by the news that the Chinese team won the Asian Cup in the past few days.

"Cheng Hai scored a hat trick in the final to lead the Chinese team to win the Asian Cup! 》

"The Chinese team won the Qatar Asian Cup and created a new history of the national football team! 》

Cheng Hai won the two awards of best scorer and best player, and set a new record for the highest number of goals scored by a single scorer and the number of goals scored in the total scorer list of the Asian Cup. 》

"The Chinese team returned to China with honors, and the bus celebrated around the city in Beiping, and thousands of people were empty. 》

"The Chinese team that won the Asian Cup held a grand celebration ceremony at the Bird's Nest! 》

"The national football team members have a bumper harvest of honor, fame and fortune, even the team doctor bonus is more than 50,000, and the minimum bonus for official players is more than 200,000. 》

In the past few days, fans have almost nothing to do, just watch the relevant news of the Chinese team, and even the five major leagues, the Champions League, etc., can't attract their attention.

"I'm so excited, I haven't slept well in the past few days, and I'm watching the news of the national football team!"

"Yes! On the night of the championship, I had complete sleep, scrolling through the news, chatting until dawn, and then going to work. ”

"Before Cheng Hai appeared, I didn't expect that I would see the national football team win the Asian Cup in my lifetime."

"Yes! Since 2004, our football has been declining year by year. Unexpectedly, after a Cheng Hai, he immediately bottomed out, and now he can even win the Asian Cup. ”

"So most of this championship is thanks to Cheng Hai. If he hadn't been the captain, he would have scored 17 goals in 6 games, let alone the champion of the Huaguo team, and I doubt whether he could qualify from the group. ”

"Yes! However, no matter what, although the other players do not have such a strong merit ability as Cheng Hai, they still have some contributions in defense. ”

"Not bad!"

"Did you see the national football bus around the city to celebrate? I saw that the streets were full of people on both sides, and it was literally crowded. Other countries say that hundreds of thousands of people participated in the celebration of winning the championship, and I think we have millions of people in Beiping alone. "Yes! I also watched it at the Bird's Nest, and it was so shocking. I think this Asian Cup championship will definitely set off a wave of football kick-off across the country. Perhaps, in a few years, the national football team will have a wide range of materials, the players will be better, and we will not only be able to make a difference in the Asian Cup, but also in the World Cup! ”

"I wish we could see that day! But in any case, the impact of this Asian Cup championship on the country is absolutely huge. ”

Indeed, the impact of winning the Asian Cup this time is very large.

Coupled with the overwhelming publicity and disclosure of the media, many parents see that Cheng Hai and others can get such high honors and praises for playing football, as well as hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of annual salary bonus endorsement income, and they no longer restrict their children from playing football.

Just like when Liu Xiang won the 110 Olympic championship, there was a wave of hurdle fever across the country.

Hurdles are much more technically difficult than football, but the money is not as high as football.

The world champion of hurdles and the world superstar of football, the income is two different levels.

For example, Cheng Hai, if he can win the Champions League, Golden Ball Awards and the like, he doesn't know how many times higher than Liu Xiang in terms of fame, status, influence, and worth.

In the past, it was the national football team that set a very bad example, which made parents disgusted with football, felt that playing football was unproductive, and it was easy to be scolded.

But now it's different, an Asian Cup champion that has changed the minds of countless people. Not to mention support, but there are a lot fewer parents who oppose their children playing football.

……

When the domestic heat has not yet subsided, and the discussion and celebration of the Asian Cup championship of the Chinese team continues, Cheng Hai has already taken the plane to return to Germany.

Cheng Hai, who returned to the club, was naturally congratulated by his coaches and teammates, congratulating him on leading the team to win the Asian Cup and winning the top scorer and best player awards.

Cheng Hai then resumed training and waited for the Ruhr derby against Schalke 04.

Before the start of the competition, Cheng Hai found that he had gained weight again, increasing to 74kg.

Cheng Hai is now 179cm tall and weighs 74kg, which is already very good.

Although it is not as big as the central defender and the midfielder, compared to the attacking players in the non-center position such as Shinji Kagawa and Gotze, they are not so disadvantaged physically.

Coupled with his full physique and balance, it is definitely the dominant time when it comes to playing against opposing defenders.

Cheng Hai is basically not worried about the next game at all.

Although he had just played a struggling Asian Cup, flying back home from the Middle East and back to Germany from China, with the help of the system, he was able to sleep peacefully and rest very well on the plane, both physically and energetically recovered, and there was no need to rest at all.

Of course, Klopp didn't let Cheng Hai start.

After all, there is still a gap between the level of the Asian Cup and the level of the Bundesliga. In particular, derbies such as Dortmund VS Schalke 04 have a much higher technical and tactical level and offensive and defensive rhythm than the Asian Cup.

With Cheng Hai's physical fitness, he still can't reach the point where he can start and play the first half.

He could only come off the bench in the second half and play until the end of the game.

Borussia Dortmund's home game against Schalke 04 is the 21st round of this season's Bundesliga, and after the first 20 rounds, Dortmund are still top of the table, and their lead over second place has increased from 10 points to 11 points.

Even without Cheng Hai, Dortmund's performance this season is quite outstanding, and the offensive line composed of Shinji Kagawa, Barrios, Lewandowski, Gotze, Shahin and others in the team is not much weaker than Cheng Hai.

It's just that it doesn't look as stable as Cheng Hai and the efficiency is not as high as Cheng Hai.

Therefore, Bumblebees fans still miss Cheng Hai very much.

In particular, Cheng Hai staged a shocking performance of scoring 17 goals in 6 games in the Asian Cup, and the goal rate almost reached an average of 3 per game.

This one is just too scary.

The technical and tactical level of the Bundesliga is higher than that of the Asian Cup, and everyone does not want to play 3, as long as Cheng Hai can maintain an average goal rate of more than one per game as before, it is already very cool.

Isn't it cool enough that the opponent is already one goal behind before the game starts?

Together with the performance of Dortmund's other players, it was enough for Dortmund to win the game.

So, on February 4, match day, the Westfalen Stadium, was filled with slogans and banners welcoming Cheng Hai back, as well as Cheng Hai's spray-painted avatar.

Of course, there are also slogans and banners congratulating Cheng Hai on winning the Asian Cup.

At 21:30 in the evening, after the game started, Cheng Hai sat on the bench as usual, waiting for the opportunity to play in the second half.

The Ruhr derby was really intense, and from the very beginning of the game, the two sides rushed to the back of their horses and collided constantly.

From the beginning of the game to the 66th minute of the second half, a total of 4 yellow cards were generated by both sides, and one player was injured and carried off a stretcher.

It can be seen that the two sides are fighting fiercely [58 fo] degree.

However, although the game was intense, it may have been because the players were focused on how to play against each other that neither side could score.

Therefore, in the 66th minute, neither side scored, and the score was still 0-0.

Finally, in the 66th minute of the second half, Klopp finally replaced Cheng Hai, and a burst of cheers from the Hornets fans suddenly sounded in the stands.

Of course, those Schalke 04 fans couldn't wait for Cheng Hai not to play, and let out deafening boos, hoping to affect Cheng Hai's state.

But this is pure wishful thinking.

Even won the Asian Cup final, will Cheng Hai still be affected by such an ordinary Bundesliga?

What's more, before the game, Cheng Hai, who had 192 skill points, was very generous, and added the four skills of inverted hook shooting, rainbow passing, long pass in the air, and cross to the level of 20 full value, which cost him 184 skill points, leaving only 8 skill points left.

Now Cheng Hai has a full 17 full-value skills, covering many aspects such as physical fitness, dribbling breakthroughs, grabbing points and shooting, it is the time when his self-confidence is bursting and he wants to take Schalke 04 Liwei!

The slight boos from the fans had no effect on him, but only stimulated his desire to fight.

After getting on the field, Cheng Hai immediately felt a completely different feeling when playing with his teammates in the national football team.

Dortmund's teammates, whether it is passing and cutting or attacking awareness, are much better than the Chinese team.

Cheng Hai, who has added several full-value skills, coupled with the cooperation of these teammates, suddenly broke out in a state comparable to the Asian Cup.

You must know that none of the opponents of the Chinese team in the Asian Cup can compare to Schalke 04.

But Cheng Hai was able to face Schalke 04 and perform the same performance as the Asian Cup, which not only shows the improvement of Cheng Hai's strength, but also proves the importance of the overall strength of the team.

Although the players of Schalke 04 knew how powerful Cheng Hai was, and their defense against him was not lax, they were still stunned in the face of Cheng Hai, whose strength suddenly improved.

In the 69th minute, Cheng Hai had just been on the field for 3 minutes, and he ran out of the gap on the line of the big penalty area and received a wonderful pass from the forward Shahin, and only one defender of Schalke 04 was left in front of him.

Originally, as long as Hevedes could block Cheng Hai, the other players on the side would be able to arrive, form a sandwich with Hevedes on Cheng Hai, and stab Cheng Hai's ball.

However, Cheng Hai's current strength has improved a lot, especially the newly added skills, which Hevedes did not expect at all.

According to old information, he also thought that Cheng Hai would use Matthews' fake moves or speed hard strokes!

Unexpectedly, Cheng Hai opened a new skill croquette, and also increased it to the level of 20 full value.

Cheng Hai skillfully used this croquette in the face of Hevedes the moment he received the ball, and Hevedes clearly saw that Cheng Hai moved the ball to the left, rather than just moving his body like Matthews feints.

So, Hevedez, in his own experience and physical instinct, naturally pounced to the left, wanting to intercept Cheng Hai's breakthrough.

Unexpectedly, the ball rolled to the left, and was immediately blocked back to the right by Cheng Hai's left foot, and then Cheng Hai went forward with his right foot, and easily broke through from Hevedes, who moved his center of gravity to the left, and entered the penalty area.

Hevedes was deceived by Cheng Hai's croquettes.

The next thing was simple, Cheng Hai kicked the ball out before the defender who slid from the side.

The ball skimmed the toe of the sliding defender, dodged the leg of another defender trying to clear, and flew into the bottom right corner of the Schalke 04 goal against the post before goalkeeper Manuel Neuer's palm was in place.

Just three minutes after coming on as a substitute, Cheng Hai broke through the opponent's central defender on the line of the penalty area to form a shot and successfully scored, helping Dortmund take a 1-0 lead.

Tens of thousands of Hornets fans, who had long been dissatisfied with the 0-0 score, suddenly broke out in earth-shattering applause and cheers, worshipping Cheng Hai's goal.

If the score of the draw Schalke 04 can still slowly circulate, then now that the score is behind, they must attack and must score.

However, after Schalke 04 took the initiative to attack, their midfield and backfield inevitably became Cheng Hai's racetrack.

In the 76th minute, Schalke 04's forward attack was cut off, and the ball was passed to the feet of Cheng Hai near the center circle by Sebastian Kyle.

Although the opponent still has two central defenders dragging behind to try to delay Cheng Hai's attack, Cheng Hai's current speed and skills are really beyond their imagination.

Facing the first defender in the upper snatch, Cheng Hai just made a simple Matthews feint to deceive him into shifting his center of gravity, allowing Cheng Hai to break through from the other side.

Although he immediately turned around and tried to pull Cheng Hai, Cheng Hai's speed was too fast, and he easily got rid of his pull and walked away.

The remaining defender had no choice but to retreat and get stuck in the position, but in the end, he was caught up by the faster Cheng Hai and had to fight head-on.

As a result, at the moment when the two sides were about to make contact, Cheng Hai hooked the ball in the run, and used a rainbow trick for the first time in an official game.

This move really surprised Schmitz, the last defender of the opponent, he didn't expect Cheng Hai to use this move to break through his defense.

However, by the time he reacted, wanted to turn around and pull Cheng Hai, and wanted to keep Cheng Hai for tactical fouls, it was too late.

The effect of Cheng Hai's full value of the rainbow is quite accurate, and it is completely consistent with Cheng Hai's speed and running position, so that Schmitz doesn't even have a way to remedy it.

Although Schmitz grabbed Cheng Hai's hand, he was broken free by the impact of Cheng Hai's full physique and speed before he could pull it down.

Schmitz was left behind by Cheng Hai, and he himself took the ball to the penalty line.

Neuer, known as the goalkeeper, had already attacked into the big penalty area, and suddenly pounced and pounced on the football at Cheng Hai's feet.

He wanted to make a save before Cheng Hai shot, and directly pounced the ball at Cheng Hai's feet into his hand, not giving Cheng Hai a chance to shoot.
