Amid the ongoing global buzz over Borussia Dortmund's 5-0 massacre of AC Milan, the draw for the top 10 group stage of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil was held at the AFC headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on March 9, 2012.

Although the Huaguo team has soared in the past year or so because of the addition of Cheng Hai, it has won consecutive battles and won the Asian Cup, and the points have risen fiercely.

However, because FIFA points are not counted as a year, but based on the performance of the past five years, the Chinese team did not rank among the top two seeds in Asia when the draw for the top 10 matches according to the latest FIFA rankings, but ranked 46th in the world, ranking fourth in Asia after Australia, South Korea and Japan.

This is already the highest ranking in the history of the national football team, but it is dangerous for the top two first-tier teams, because the second-tier Chinese team may be drawn to a group with them.

As a result, it was the South Korean team that was unlucky.

After South Korea and Australia were in Group A and B, when the second bracket team was drawn, the Chinese team was drawn to Group A and joined the South Korean team. Japan were drawn from Group B, while Australia breathed a sigh of relief.

It's much better to play Japan than to play the Chinese national team.

Of course, with two direct qualifying places, if the Iranian team in the third tier is not drawn to Group A, the situation of the South Korean team is still relatively easy.

However, to the dismay of the South Koreans, Iran, who are in third pot, were also drawn from Group A.

In the end, the draw results of the top 10 were released, Group A is composed of South Korea, China, Iran, Uzbekistan and Lebanon, and Group B is composed of Australia, Japan, Jordan, Oman and Qatar.

Uzbekistan is also not bad, ranking 68th in the world, after Iran, and sixth in Asia.

As a result, Group A, which has China, South Korea, Iran, and Uzbekistan, has undoubtedly become the group of death, with four strong teams competing for two direct qualifying places, and Lebanon is destined to become the object of accompanying the prince to study and be used to brush up points.

But in fact, the Huaguo team with Cheng Hai has almost automatically occupied a qualifying place.

The Chinese team is nominally the fourth in Asia, but in fact it is the undisputed number one in Asia, and it is the number one in Asia that is far superior to other teams.

It's just because the Chinese team has a world's No. 1 striker: Cheng Hai.

Therefore, South Korea, Iran, and Uzbekistan will fight for a place in the qualifiers, and the death color of Group A is stronger than the top 10 matches of any World Preliminary Championship.

The top 10 matches don't start until June, so let's concentrate on playing club games now!

After the draw ceremony for the top ten, the next day, in the 25th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund challenged Augsburg away.

In the last game with AC Milan, although Dortmund won 5-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals, in fact, the sequelae of the high-level pressing of the whole game are still very large.

One player suffered cramps during the match and two players suffered muscle strains during the training routine after that game and needed to rest and had to miss the away game against Augsburg.

In this away game, Klopp had to carry out a wide range of rotations, and the main players who started the game were only Weidenfeller, Hummels, Gundogan, and Cheng Hai, and the others were rotated.

In addition, it rained heavily in this game, which had a great impact on the state of the players on both sides, and Dortmund was also unlucky, and finally played a 1-1 draw with Augsburg away.

Cheng Hai scored the only goal for Dortmund with a violent volley about 20 metres from outside the penalty area, but it still failed to bring victory to the team.

However, it has no impact on Dortmund's standings.

Because even if they are forced to draw by their opponents, after this round, Dortmund is still as many as 14 points ahead of second-place Bayern Munich, Bayern has to win all five games and Dortmund to lose all before they can catch up.

And there are only 9 rounds left in the league.

Dortmund's road to defending the Bundesliga title is basically stable, even if Bayern Munich thrashes Hoffenheim 7-1 at home in this round is useless.

However, in the next round, Dortmund will be challenged by a strong team, Werder Bremen.

The day before the game, UEFA held a draw for the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and Dortmund was lucky to meet Chelsea, a Premier League team that had just experienced a change of manager.

Last summer, Chelsea sacked Carlo Ancelotti, who failed to help Manchester United win the Premier League, and signed with Jose Mourinho's assistant coach and Porto manager Villas-Boas.

Unexpectedly, Boas failed to help Chelsea rebound, but did not win away in the Champions League group stage, relying on home results to barely advance to the round of 16, and then lost 1-3 to Napoli in the first leg of the 1/8 final, facing the danger of being eliminated.

Coupled with a boycott from Chelsea's veterans, Villas-Boas was announced to be sacked on 4 March, and assistant coach Roberto Di Matteo was appointed to miraculously turn the tables around in the second leg and reach the quarter-finals.

However, the coach changed at the beginning of the season, and the coach changed again on March 4, slipping from second in the Premier League last season to fifth in the Premier League so far this season, and the core of the team Frank Lampard, Drogba, Terry, Ashley Cole and other veterans are over 30 years old, just like AC Milan.

Although the average age of the team is not as old as that of AC Milan, it is not small.

In anyone's eyes, this Chelsea side is no match for Borussia Dortmund, who have just thrashed AC Milan 5-0. Borussia Dortmund's players and coaches are also happy and feel that this is a good opponent and should easily qualify.

After the quarter-finals draw, Dortmund sat at home the 26th round of the Bundesliga against Werder Bremen the next day.

Just three days after this league game, Borussia Dortmund will face the semi-finals of the German Cup.

Although the opponent is another German second team Fürth, because the semi-finals of the German Cup are a decisive victory, there is no room for error.

Fürth eliminated the Bundesliga team Hoffenheim in the last round to advance to the semi-finals, and there is still some hard work and dark horses.

In the Bundesliga, Dortmund has too many advantages in the lead, and there is more room for error.

Therefore, in the 26th round of the Bundesliga against Werder Bremen, Klopp continued to rotate and sent a semi-main and semi-substitute lineup.

This semi-main and semi-substitute lineup also did not play well, and was stubbornly blocked by Werder Bremen at the Westfaren Stadium and almost capsized.

Fortunately, Cheng Hai's performance was as trustworthy as ever, and finally scored a brace to help Dortmund win a small 2-1 victory at home.

Cheng Hai's 2011/2012 Bundesliga tally now reaches 59, just one goal shy of the 60 goals set by Everton club William Dean in 1927/1928.

Last season, Cheng Hai's 45 goals in a single season broke Gerd Muller's record in a single season in the Bundesliga.

This season, Cheng Hai is likely to break the single-season goal record of the top five leagues, and he is only one goal away from the record.

In the next Bundesliga, Cheng Hai will tie this record as long as he scores. As long as he scores two goals, Cheng Hai will set a new record for the highest goals scored in a single season in the top five European leagues.

This record does not seem to have much feeling in the eyes of ordinary people, but as long as fans and media reporters who know a little bit of football knowledge, they know how difficult this record is.

Because the early days of football did not study attack and defense in depth, everyone thought that the only fun and result of football was to score goals.

So, from the first 1-0-10 formation, to the 1-1-9 formation, to the 1-2-8 formation, etc., most of the players were forwards and didn't take defense seriously at all.

Even in William Dean's era, the most popular formation was the 235 formation, and even the 433 back four formation had not yet appeared.

This kind of defensive strength can almost be said to be useless for modern football.

As a result, it was not uncommon for the early English top flight to score more than 30 Golden Boot goals in a single season, and it is not surprising that more than 40 were recorded, and more than 50 were also seen many times, with the highest record being William Dean's record of 60 goals in a single season set in 1927/1928.

However, with the development and evolution of football tactics, after entering the eighties and nineties, Europe's top leagues have paid more and more attention to defense, and it is becoming more and more difficult for strikers to score goals.

In the most extreme of the 2004/2005 seasons, Arsenal's Thierry Henry and La Liga's Villarreal's Diego Forlan both scored just 25 league goals to win the European Golden Boot that season.

In modern football, where defense is becoming more important and goals are getting harder and harder, the big five leagues have not had a golden boot with more than 40 goals in a single season for decades, let alone 50 goals.

As for William Dean's record of 60 goals in a single season in the five top leagues, it is regarded as an ancient miracle that cannot be surpassed, and modern football is impossible to surpass.

As a result, when Cheng Hai appeared, this record became no longer so unattainable, and even Cheng Hai was only one ball away from touching this record, and he would soon break this record.

Some media said that Cheng Hai is the most talented talent in football history, more talented than Ronaldinho and Pele.

However, this is only the opinion of one or two media outlets, and it has not been widely recognized.

In order to be widely recognized by the world, Cheng Hai needs to achieve extremely high achievements and honors.

On March 20, 2012 at 21:30 p.m., the semi-finals of the 2011/2012 German Cup between Fürth vs Borussia Dortmund officially began at the Langhoff Sports Park Stadium, Fürth's home stadium.

Dortmund have been doing well in both the league and cup competitions in Germany this season.

The league lead is huge, and there is a high probability that it will win the championship many rounds in advance. In the German Cup, they encountered non-Bundesliga weak teams all the way, almost escorting Dortmund to the final.

Borussia Dortmund have a good chance of winning the Bundesliga and German Cup double this season.

As for the Champions League, it is currently unknown, and we must continue to fight.

But there is no doubt that this season is the closest Dortmund have ever come to a treble, and both players and coaches alike are hungry for it.

They can't afford anything to slip up.

Therefore, even if the opponent in this German Cup semi-final is only a Bundesliga team, Dortmund still sent a full squad to ensure that they can win the opponent and reach the final.

After the game, everyone couldn't help but sigh that Dortmund and Klopp's cautious and all-out efforts were used correctly.

If the enemy is a little careless, it is difficult for Dortmund to really capsize in the gutter.

As a Bundesliga team, Fürth can reach the semi-finals of the German Cup, in fact, their strength is already at the level of the Bundesliga.

In addition, now that they have reached the semi-finals, they are only one game away from the final and two games away from the title, and if they win the title, they can even play in the Europa League.

Therefore, Fürth's players do not need to mobilize, and the fighting spirit and morale are much higher than on the side of Dortmund.

In the game, the Fürth players did not hesitate to fight and defend physically, even better than Dortmund's second game against AC Milan.

Dortmund, on the other hand, was not as prepared as AC Milan this time, and was almost dragged down by the other side like AC Milan.

Fortunately, Cheng Hai and the others were young and strong young men, and in the end they persevered and were not dragged down by the other party.

Even so, amid the roaring cheers of more than 18,000 home fans at Langhoff Sports Park, Fürth nearly froze Cheng Hai with their back-and-forth running and ferocious defense that made him cramp to the point of cramps, allowing him to score only one goal in the end.

Moreover, Fürth himself was lucky to score two goals.

Fortunately, Dortmund has Cheng Overseas and other teammates, and after Cheng Hai is frozen, he can still assist.

In this game, Cheng Hai passed the ball after he attracted most of Fürth's defensive attention, assisting Shinji Kagawa and Mario Gotze to score the bat, respectively.

In the end, thanks to a goal and two assists from Cheng Hai, Dortmund defeated German second division team Fürth 3-2 away and advanced to the German Cup.

As mentioned earlier, in this seemingly disparity in strength in the semi-finals of the German Cup, Dortmund won quite thrillingly, only winning by one goal, and almost capsized in the gutter.

After the game, even Cheng Hai said in an interview that he felt palpitated, saying that Fürth's performance was respectable, and Dortmund was able to enter the German Cup final thanks to God's care.

Of course, there was actually an element of luck in both of Fürth's goals, as well as a lot of luck in the successful defence against Borussia Dortmund.

But in any case, with the lineup and strength of a German second team, they can force Dortmund and Cheng Hai to this point in the semi-finals of the German Cup, and they are enough to leave with pride.

This was also the case with the post-match media coverage, with all the media and fans showing respect for Fürth's performance.

Of course, football is a winner-takes-all game, and no matter how unfortunate it is, Fürth was eliminated by the elimination, and their dark horse road still did not last until the final.

Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, reached the final of this season's German Cup.

The next day, the other semi-final was over, with Bayern Munich unsurprisingly beating Borussia Mönchengladbach to reach the final.

The 2011/2012 German Cup final will feature the German derby between Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

However, the German Cup final will not be played until May, and Dortmund will continue to compete in the Bundesliga and Champions League.

Speaking of which, since the 5-0 slaughter of AC Milan, Dortmund's whole team has been in poor form, first in the 25th round of the Bundesliga by Augsburg 1-1, then in the 26th round of the difficult 2-1 victory over Werder Bremen, and finally in the just-concluded German Cup semi-finals almost overturned by the German second team.

Perhaps it was the 5-0 slaughter of AC Milan that consumed too much energy for everyone, so the next few games were sluggish and informal, and they were extremely difficult to play three games in a row.

Therefore, after beating Fürth 3-2 to advance to the German Cup final, Klopp gave the entire Dortmund team a full two days off to give everyone a good rest.

It wasn't until March 23 that everyone returned to the training base and resumed their daily training.

After two days of adequate rest, the mental outlook and state of the whole team really improved a lot.

On March 25, in the 27th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund played away against Cologne, and everyone finally played a hearty victory.

6-1！！！

The final score was 6-1!

Borussia Dortmund slaughtered Cologne on the other side's away stadium in front of many of their home fans.

Cheng Hai kicked his head and feet in this game and staged a terrifying single-game five-ball performance.

In this regard, the people of Cologne expressed their helplessness and despair.

Because, in addition to the Kaihua national team's games in Asia, Cheng Hai has played two single-game five-goal games at Dortmund so far, and the opponents are both Cologne. (Note: This is only about five goals in a single game, six goals and above are not counted)

In the 10th round of the Bundesliga in the first half of the season, Dortmund hosted Cologne, and Cheng Hai scored five goals in a single game for the first time in the club, leading Dortmund to a bloody 8-0 home defeat of Cologne.

Unexpectedly, in the second half of the season, when he switched to the home stadium of the Cologne team, Cheng Hai, who had been in the doldrums for several games, had just recovered his form and was bumped into by the Cologne team again.

Cheng Hai's club scored five goals in a single game for the second time and was hit by Cologne again.

After the game, many media said that the Cologne team was very innocent, and the only two five-goal goals in a single game of the Cheng Hai Club were all hit by the Cologne team, which was really miserable.

Of course, in addition to the five goals in a single game, the most worthy of media and fans to report and discuss this game is that Cheng Hai broke the 60-goal single-season goal record set by William Dean in the 1927/1928 season with 64 goals.

According to some Chinese fans who like the Internet, Cheng Hai's performance is definitely worthy of a hot word: terrifying.
