Chapter 135: Asian Footballer of the Year

For Borussia Dortmund and Jurgen Klopp, whether it is the Champions League away to Arsenal or the Ruhr derby, in their eyes, they are naturally more important than the results of the Chinese Olympic team.

For Cheng Hai, in the case that there is only one group qualifier in each group in the Aoya preliminary group stage, he naturally prefers to play the Aoya preliminary game.

Otherwise, in case he is not there and the national Olympic team has lost two consecutive games, it will be difficult to win the group and directly qualify for the London Olympics.

As a patriotic youth, Cheng Hai naturally wants to return to China to participate in the competition of the National Olympic team.

The Chinese Football Association is not important to Dortmund at all, it has no effect at all.

But Cheng Hai is different, Cheng Hai's current fame and status determine that his dressing room in Dortmund has become an existence that is not a ball bully and a ball bully.

Therefore, under Cheng Hai's arguments, Klopp and Dortmund's management reluctantly agreed to Cheng Hai's decision to return to China to participate in the Olympic team Aoya preliminaries.

Borussia Dortmund can only travel to London in the absence of Cheng Hai to challenge Arsenal away.

However, although it was a match on the same day, due to the time difference, the match between the Chinese Olympic team and the Saudi Arabian Olympic team was played first.

At 19:00 on the evening of November 23, 2011, the second round of the Aoya preliminary group stage between the Chinese Olympic team and the Saudi Arabian Olympic team officially began.

At the same time, the AFC 2011 year-end awards ceremony was also held at the AFC headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Cheng Hai, who was unable to attend the Aoya preliminaries, asked his agent to take his parents to the scene.

Just like the match between the Olympic team and Saudi Arabia, there is no suspense about the winner of the 2011 Asian Footballer of the Year.

While Cheng Hai was headbutting and scoring goals against the Saudi Arabian Olympic team, the AFC also announced the final winner of the 2011 Asian Footballer of the Year.

Host: "The winner of the 2011 Asian Footballer of the Year is: Cheng Hai!" ”

Suddenly, the Chinese fans who watched the award ceremony applauded thunderously, and Cheng Songquan took the stage with the help of a translator and helped Cheng Hai receive the highest individual honor in Asian men's football.

When Cheng Songquan received the award here, Cheng Hai, who was far away in China and was competing, also received the experience reward issued by this award.

As the highest individual honor of the year in Asian football, the experience reward of Asian Footballer has reached 10 million, which is a bumper harvest.

At the same time, some fans at the scene were watching the game while looking at their mobile phones and paying attention to the AFC awards ceremony.

When Cheng Hai won the Asian Footballer of the Year, countless fans at the scene immediately screamed excitedly, and many fans also played banners to congratulate Cheng Hai on winning the Asian Footballer of the Year.

After a while, the words "Cheng Hai, 2011 Asian Footballer of the Year" were also played on the big screen at the scene, which attracted thunderous applause from the audience, and countless people shouted Cheng Hai's name to congratulate him.

Cheng Hai may also have been stimulated by the double stimulus of trophies and experience, and will be even more unstoppable in the next game.

His physique, speed, dribbling, archery, point grabbing, strength and other more than 20 full-value perfect point skills are unmatched even by the senior national team in Asia, let alone the U23 national Olympic team?

After 90 minutes of the whole game, Cheng Hai scored a shocking ten goals.

That included eight open goals and two penalties.

Saudi Arabia's defenders couldn't stop Cheng Hai, and finally came up with foul tactics. It's a pity that even if he fouled, he didn't stop Cheng Hai, and let himself be sent off by two, and as many as 4 players carried yellow cards, and Cheng Hai also won two penalties, and finally scored a double-digit goal by himself.

In the end, Cheng Hai led the Chinese Olympic team to defeat the Saudi Arabian Olympic team 12-1 at home, creating a tragedy.

After the game, combined with the news that Cheng Hai won the Asian Footballer of the Year, the headlines of the world's media were occupied by Cheng Hai.

"Cheng Hai won the 2011 Asian Footballer of the Year, and Aoya scored ten goals in a single game to shock the world! 》

"Ten goals in one game, Cheng Hai, who has just won the 2011 Asian Footballer of the Year, is unstoppable! 》

"Ten goals in a single game, Cheng Hai, the new Asian footballer, refreshed his single-game goal record!" 》

"Asian Footballer, Ten Goals in a Single Game, Cheng Hai is Double Happiness! 》

Ten goals in one game, even if it's just an Asian game at Under-23 level, is enough to shock the world.

Cheng Hai is now very famous and concerned, and he has just won the Asian Footballer of the Year, which is combined with ten goals in a single game, so it is naturally easy to attract concentrated reports from media all over the world.

Undoubtedly, this added an impression to Cheng Hai's FIFA Golden Globe voting at the end of the year in the hearts of the judges.

Later in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Arsenal at home beat Borussia Dortmund 2-1 at home thanks to a brace from Robin van Persie.

Dortmund, without Cheng Hai, really lost away from home.

Compared with Cheng Hai's ten goals in a single game in Aoya, it naturally made Klopp even more depressed.

If Cheng Hai does not return to China to participate in the Aoya preliminary game, but participates in the Champions League, even if it is away, he is sure to beat Arsenal.

Of course, this kind of disunity mentality Klopp did not dare to reveal it to reporters, but said that it is very normal for Arsenal to win at home, and they have this strength.

However, although this game was lost, it was not without good news. Because, in another arena, Olympiacos finally showed the world why this group is called the Group of Death.

They won 1-0 against French giants Marseille to claim their first win in the group stage.

In this way, Dortmund and Arsenal also have three wins, one draw and one loss with 10 points, and there is only one round left in the group stage, while Marseille and Olympiacos are both one win, one draw and two losses and only 4 points are out of the round in advance.

Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal both qualified from the group stage one round earlier and advanced to the knockout rounds.

It's just that there is still suspense in the final group ranking, depending on whether Dortmund ranks first or Arsenal ranks first, which still has a great impact on the draw for the knockout round.

At present, it is Dortmund who are temporarily in first place with a goal difference advantage with 10 points.

Of course, Marseille and Olympiacos have both lost their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League, but they still have to fight in the final round, because the third place in the group can also play in the Europa League knockout round.

What is even more satisfying for Klopp is that although he lost a Champions League away group stage, his disciples were not affected by the away defeat after returning home.

In the Ruhr derby in the 14th round of the Bundesliga on November 26, Dortmund beat Schalke 04 2-0 at home, and continued to hold the top position in the Bundesliga standings with 12 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses, accumulating 36 points, and 7 points ahead of the second place.

It looks like Borussia Dortmund have a good chance of winning the Bundesliga again this season.

On the other hand, Cheng Hai played the third round of the Aoya preliminary group stage on the second day, and led the national Olympic team to defeat the Qatar national Olympic team with a score of 7-1 and won a big victory again.

In this game, Cheng Hai once again easily staged the fifth son Dengke, and also had an assist, and gained hundreds of thousands of experience.

The match between the national football team and the national Olympic team has indeed become an excellent place for Cheng Hai to brush up on experience.

After the third round of the Aoya preliminary group stage, the Chinese Olympic team topped the standings with a record of 9 points from three wins, and the second-place South Korean team not only lost to China, but was also forced to draw by the Qatar Olympic in the second round of the group stage, knowing that the third round only defeated the Saudi Arabian Olympic Games to achieve the first victory in the group stage.

Therefore, even the second-place South Korean Olympic team only accumulated 4 points, a full 5-point gap from the Chinese Olympic team.

Cheng Hai missed the club's two games and came back to participate in the Olympic team's Aoya preliminary competition, which finally lived up to expectations and laid a great point advantage for the national Olympic team.

Even if there is only one place to directly qualify for the London Olympics in the group stage, at present, only the Chinese Olympic team has the greatest chance.

The 15 goals scored in the two Aoya preliminaries, which is absolutely shocking.

The more this happens, the more important Cheng Hai is to Dortmund.

Fortunately, after playing the match with Qatar, Cheng Hai was finally able to leave for Germany.

Borussia Dortmund's next game is also not to be missed, as they face Borussia Mönchengladbach, who are second in the Bundesliga table.

Although everyone knows how far the difference between Borussia Mönchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund is, the top two positions in the standings can also be said to be a battle for the top spot.

Cheng Hai, who returned to Germany, first accepted the congratulations of his teammates on his Asian Footballer of the Year, and then devoted himself to training with everyone, preparing to give the opponent a big defeat away from home.

However, no one expected that on the day of the match a few days later, it would rain heavily in the city where Borussia Mönchengladbach is located.

At 16:30 p.m. on December 3, 2011, with the referee's whistle, the 14th round of the Bundesliga Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Dortmund match kicked off in heavy rain.

The heavy rain greatly affected the performance of players on both sides of the game, but undoubtedly had a greater impact on the visitors.

If there is no heavy rain, I believe that Dortmund, under the leadership of Cheng Hai, will definitely be able to defeat Borussia Mönchengladbach away.

It's a pity that in this heavy rain, both Cheng Hai and his teammates have been greatly affected in their on-the-spot performance.

Even Cheng Hai was not spared.

For example, in the 14th minute, Cheng Hai ran out of a gap through a subtle off-ball run, and his teammates also successfully sent the ball over.

But because of the heavy rain, he didn't dare to pass the ball on the ground, for fear of falling into a puddle, so teammate Gundogan passed a half-high pick-up pass.

Cheng Hai also opened his stance and prepared to shoot a volley from outside the arc of the big penalty area, his volley skills are full value!

Unexpectedly, Cheng Hai, who opened the stance, slipped and slipped at the moment of shooting!

In the end, the ball was kicked into the stands by Cheng Hai himself, and his full balance skills could not save him from slipping.

It's really bad weather and venue, and Cheng Hai can't do anything. Although he still scored two goals on his own, he was unable to lead Dortmund to victory.

In the end, Cheng Hai's Dortmund failed to beat Borussia Mönchengladbach away from home, and the two sides drew 2-2, and Dortmund won their first draw of the season.
