Chapter 92: Key Battles

Barrios missed a brilliant cross from Cheng Hai, but PSV Eindhoven finally played a successful counter-attack in the 55th minute, and it was striker Marcus Berry who leaped a long diagonal ball into the top of the Dortmund goal.

PSV Eindhoven have finally pulled back a point and seen a little more hope.

Because, now they are still two goals behind, but they have an away goal.

This away goal gives them unlimited hope.

If they can score more goals and score more away goals, then it is not clear that PSV Eindhoven can really reverse and eliminate Dortmund and advance to the last four!

Therefore, after scoring this goal, PSV Eindhoven, who had been hit by Cheng Hai and had a low morale, suddenly had a high morale and launched a powerful offensive, suppressing Dortmund in a short period of time and even suppressing it in his own half.

Unfortunately, despite their aggressiveness and the creation of a couple of chances, they were never able to get the ball into the Borussia Dortmund goal.

Because they don't have Cheng Hai, an offensive finisher with perfect shooting skills.

On Dortmund's side, there is an offensive finisher like Cheng Hai with superb shooting skills, and the result is very different.

In the 63rd minute, Dortmund got a corner kick opportunity.

Gotze takes a corner kick, and players from both sides tug and shove in the penalty area, jostling for the spot.

Although Cheng Hai's off-ball running and point-grabbing skills allowed him to see the landing point clearly ahead of anyone else, he failed to rush to the landing point to head the goal, but was pulled by the defender who was closely marking him to a position a little close to the goal, and he couldn't use his header to attack the goal.

Just when many people thought that Cheng Hai was out of reach and couldn't fight for the ball, they saw Cheng Hai leaning back with the pull of the opponent's defender, and then jumped suddenly, and shot a perfect volley inverted hook, and kicked the ball out of reach of the header and kicked it towards the goal.

This ball is just outside the small penalty area line, very close to the goal, and Cheng Hai's perfect inverted hook shooting technique not only has enough power, speed, but even angles.

Although goalkeeper Isaksen tried his best to make a save, he couldn't reach Cheng Hai's close-range and tricky angle barb shot, and could only watch the ball go into the net.

Cheng Hai scored another hat-trick to give Borussia Dortmund a 4-1 lead and improve his UEFA Cup scoring record to 17 goals.

The Westphala' Stadium once again burst into applause and cheers, and the fans chanted Cheng Hai's name for a long time.

After scoring this goal, Cheng Hai's physical energy was almost consumed.

However, as long as he is on the field for a second, he can maintain his intimidation against the opposition backline and goal for one more second.

Therefore, Cheng Hai was still trying his best to hold on until the 69th minute, when he couldn't hold on, so he was replaced.

Now that Cheng Hai has been replaced, PSV Eindhoven can finally rest assured that he can boldly press forward and make the last effort.

They fell into the trap.

It's not that Dortmund can't score goals except for Cheng Hai, they are very strong at both ends of the pitch.

While PSV Eindhoven were attacking aggressively but failing to find the back of the net, they were instead breached by a quick counter-attack by Borussia Dortmund in the 84th minute.

And the goal was scored by Mario Gotze, Westfalen's darling before Cheng Hai's arrival.

Gotze dribbled past the opposition full-back from the flank and cut inside to score in the box to extend Dortmund's lead to 5-1.

Not only this match, but basically even the suspense of the second round was completely ended.

With four goals down on aggregate, no one believes PSV Eindhoven can pull off a miracle, even if the second leg is their home turf.

Including themselves.

As a result, PSV Eindhoven ran out of energy for the rest of the game, and the two sides lazily spent the last minute of the game, and finally Dortmund won the first leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-final with a score of 5-1 at home.

However, after the game, the media focused on Dortmund's 5-1 victory, but on Cheng Hai's 17-goal single-season League Cup scoring record.

"League Cup, Cheng Hai's 17 goals set a record for the highest goals in a single season in the League Cup! 》

"Cheng Hai's 17 goals in the League Cup this season has become the highest single-season goal record in European history!" 》

"Cheng Hai scored a hat trick again, and the league's total of 17 goals has become the highest personal goal record in a single season in Europe! 》

"At the top of the European goal list and the top of the European Golden Boot award, Cheng Hai has become the top scorer in European football this season! 》

Cheng Hai once again swiped the screen all over the world and has become the hottest super striker in world football today.

Its scoring form has aroused praise from many celebrities.

Bailey: "Cheng Hai is a super genius who is at the peak of his debut, and he has the style of my time. Of course, I won the World Cup at the age of 17, and I am afraid that Cheng Hai will not be able to win this championship in his life. ”

Maradona: "Cheng Hai is one of the most talented young people I have ever met, on a par with Messi. ”

Beckenbauer: "If nothing else, Cheng Hai will be another world superstar born in the Bundesliga!" ”

Ronaldo: "I won the European Ballon d'Or at the age of 21, the youngest winner in the history of the Ballon d'Or, but I think Cheng Hai has the potential to break my record. ”

Ronaldinho: "Cheng Hai's talent and speed of progress are terrible, he has achieved such a high level of achievement when he only entered professional football at the age of 18, I hope he will not be like me, and get a longer career and higher achievements." ”

For a time, the coverage and attention to Cheng Hai was higher than that of Neymar, the successor of Brazil's football king, and it was quite the momentum of the world's heated discussion of the alien Ronaldo.

Of course, Cheng Hai's achievements are still far from Ronaldo, at least he has to win the Bundesliga and League Cup double this season to have a brilliant season and qualifications.

On April 9, in the 29th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund challenged Hamburg away.

In order to avoid being overturned in the second leg of the League Cup quarter-finals, Klopp also made a certain amount of rotation in this game.

However, Cheng Hai was not rotated. In addition to the fact that he can go into a deep sleep every day and have a good rest, Cheng Hai's competition with Ronaldo for the European Golden Boot Award is also an important factor.

Jurgen Klopp naturally backs his man to win the European Golden Boot.

Other teammates in the team will also try their best to make the ball for Cheng Hai during the game, so that Cheng Hai can get a chance to shoot, score more goals, and continue to maintain the first position in the European Golden Boot Award.

Therefore, although the game was away, Cheng Hai, who started the game, still scored a brace and assisted his teammates to score a goal, helping Dortmund win 3-1 away at Hamburg and continue to lead the standings, while also increasing his league goal total to 31.

In La Liga, which was played on the same day, Cristiano Ronaldo also scored the goal, but he only scored one.

Therefore, although Ronaldo still chased Cheng Hai with 29 goals, Cheng Hai widened the gap to 2 goals.

Next up is the second leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-final away to PSV Eindhoven.

Although he won 5-1 in the first leg, in order not to overturn in the gutter, Klopp still cautiously brought all the main players and let most of the main players, including Cheng Hai, start.

The result can be imagined, despite being away from home, Cheng Hai still easily scored a brace and led Dortmund to a 3-2 away victory.

After two legs of quarter-finals, Borussia Dortmund thrashed PSV Eindhoven 8-3 on aggregate and advanced to the last four of this season's UEFA Cup.

At the same time, Cheng Hai also improved his single-season League Cup goal record to 19 goals, approaching the 20-goal mark.

In addition, after this game, Cheng Hai's total experience also rose to level 24 7.104 million, which was automatically upgraded to level 25 104,000, and he got an upgrade reward of 30 skill points, with a balance of 38 skill points.

In terms of skills that are randomly opened with upgrades, Cheng Hai is lucky and has opened a skill with a bull's tail.

This skill is used well, and the practicality is very high, just like Ronaldinho used it, so that the opponent can't react at all and is broken through, which is much more confusing than Matthews's feints.

Even those experienced world-class defenders, in the face of this bulltail feint, the body will be reflexively deceived into losing the center of gravity, and then be easily broken through.

Therefore, although it still does not have the physical fitness that Cheng Hai wants most, this oxtail is already very good, and it is much better than the skills of the goalkeeper.

Because Cheng Hai's various dribbling, Matthews feints and other skills are very good, plus he has played in the professional league for so long, his knowledge and experience have risen rapidly, so Cheng Hai's oxtail has 11 points of initial attributes.

Although it is not enough to establish itself in professional football, it has saved a lot of skill points.

Naturally, Cheng Hai first spent 8 skill points to increase the oxtail to 15, then spent 20 skill points to increase it to 19, and finally spent another 10 skill points to increase it to 20 full value.

All 38 skill points were just spent, and there was no one left, and the oxtail was instantly raised to the level of 20 full value.

At this point, Cheng Hai's information and skill attributes have become:

The 18 abilities of perfect state have made Cheng Hai a super goal machine and a breakthrough maniac.

Even if he can't draw better skills in the future, these skills alone are enough to make Cheng Hai grow into a world-class superstar.

The teams that reached the last four of the UEFA Cup this season are Borussia Dortmund, Braga, Porto and Villarreal.

Borussia Dortmund are from the Bundesliga, Villarreal are from La Liga, and Braga and Porto are all from the Portuguese Super League.

The results of the Portuguese Super League in the League Cup this season are very beautiful!

After meeting Benfica in the quarter-finals, Dortmund will now meet Braga in the Portuguese Super League in the semi-finals.

However, Braga is only a small team in the Portuguese Super League, and although they have narrowly eliminated Liverpool and reached the last four of the League Cup, no one believes that they can stop Dortmund, who have Cheng Hai as a super striker.

The only expectation for this semi-final is that Cheng Hai's League Cup goal record breaks the 20-goal mark.

But before playing the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup, Dortmund will have to go all out to play a Bundesliga match.

Because this is likely to be an early round of league wins.

After the first 29 rounds of the Bundesliga, Dortmund are 10 points ahead of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen with 71 points.

After the current round of the 30th Bundesliga, there will be only four rounds left in the Bundesliga.

If Dortmund can lead Bayer Leverkusen by 13 points after this round, then no matter what the outcome of the remaining four rounds is, it will not affect Dortmund's victory in the Bundesliga this season.

In other words, if Bayer Leverkusen loses and Dortmund wins in this round of the league, then Dortmund will win the Bundesliga title four rounds ahead of schedule with a 13-point lead with only four league games remaining.

It's entirely possible.

On the one hand, Dortmund is playing at home in this round, and the opponent is Freiburg, a midstream team, which is not strong.

Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, are playing away from home against the mighty Bayern Munich.

Although Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are mortal enemies, they will certainly not be stingy when they can cause problems for Dortmund.

But Bayern Munich themselves have not had a good time this season, currently only ranked third in the league, and there is not much difference with the teams behind them, and even next season's Champions League place has not been firmly held in their hands.

Therefore, Bayern Munich will not be able to cause problems for Dortmund even if they want to win the championship in advance, they have to take care of themselves first, and they can only play a dead attack on Bayer Leverkusen at the Allianz Arena.

So it's entirely possible for Borussia Dortmund to win the title early in this round.

Even better, Bayern Munich's home vs Bayer Leverkusen match was played two hours earlier than the Dortmund vs Freiburg match.

In other words, the Dortmund vs Freiburg match will not start until the matches between Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen are played.

Everyone will be able to know the result of the Bayern vs Bayer Leverkusen match and know whether they can win the championship in advance.

On the afternoon of April 17, 2011, two hours before the start time of the Dortmund vs Freiburg match, the Westfaren Stadium had opened early, and tens of thousands of fans flocked to the stadium to watch the Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen match through the live electronic screen.

As the sworn enemy of the national derby, Hornets fans usually wish Bayern Munich would be bloodied by their opponents.

But today, everyone is cheering for Bayern Munich, hoping that they can beat Bayer Leverkusen at home and create the conditions for Dortmund to win the title early.

As a result, Bayern Munich did not disappoint the Hornets fans.

Just seven minutes into the game, Bayern Munich used a strong overall attack to send the ball into the penalty area, forcing pharmaceutical captain Rolfes to own an own goal and send the ball into his own goal.

Bayern Munich led Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 at home, and tens of thousands of Hornets fans at Westfaren Stadium applauded sworn rivals Bayern Munich.

Next, Bayern striker Mario Gomez, who is currently the second highest scorer in the Bundesliga and only trails Cheng Hai, scored a hat-trick in just 17 minutes from the 28th minute to the 45th minute to extend Bayern's lead to 4-0.

And at Westfaren Stadium, every goal scored by Gomez was accompanied by huge applause and cheers from the Hornets fans.

Despite being the sworn enemy of the national derby, every Hornets fan is sincerely cheering and celebrating for Gomez and every goal scored by Bayern Munich in today's game.

The more Bayern scores and wins, the happier everyone is.

Although Bayer Leverkusen pulled a point back in the second half through striker Derjodik, Franck scored another for Bayern Munich in the 75th minute to make it 5-1.

After three minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Bayern Munich lived up to Dortmund's expectations by beating Bayer Leverkusen 5-1 at home, leaving Bayer Leverkusen's points at 61.

Next, if Dortmund can beat Freiburg, they will reach 74 points, 13 points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen.

Then, with only four rounds left in the league, Dortmund will win the Bundesliga title this season four rounds in advance.

You know, the last time Dortmund won the Bundesliga championship was a distant season, 9 years ago, and everyone misses it.

Now, the initiative to win the title early is in the hands of Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund only need to beat Freiburg at home to win the Bundesliga title four rounds ahead of schedule.

Both the players and the fans were extremely excited.

Although Westfalen Stadium was already filled with more than 80,000 Hornets fans, there were still countless fans outside the stadium who couldn't buy tickets.

They can only watch the game on the big screen in the square outside the stadium and in the bar, witnessing the possibility of Dortmund winning the championship early after 9 years.

In the stadium and in the locker room, the whole team of Dortmund, who had completed the pre-game warm-up, was also listening to Klopp's final mobilization.

"The Football Association has brought the championship trophy here, and hundreds of thousands of fans across Dortmund are watching you. As long as we fight and beat our opponents, we can win four rounds early and lift the championship cup in front of more than 80,000 fans in Westfalen. ”

"I hope everyone is united, united as one, for the championship, cheers!"

Everyone gathered in a circle, joined hands, and shouted three times together: "For the championship, come on!! ”

Then, it's time to play.

Dortmund's crucial battle to win the title four rounds ahead of schedule is about to begin.
