Chapter 22: Breaking the door in a row
Back at the training ground, Klopp saw that Cheng Hai came back directly to participate in training, and no one called him to attend the signing ceremony, so he knew that Cheng Hai's signing was not negotiated.
This made Klopp frown a little.
If it was an average player, maybe Klopp would let the opponent get out.
But Cheng Hai's superb archery skills are really unprecedented in his life. Even world superstars like Ronaldo and Van Nistelrooy can't reach Cheng Hai's marksmanship.
Although the physical fitness is a little weak and the technique is a little poor, it is indeed very suitable to be a super substitute.
The coaching staff has someone who specializes in statistics.
Cheng Hai averaged less than two shots to score a goal in a training match, which is a very scary statistic.
In official matches, even if the frequency and success rate of shots are greatly reduced due to the opponent's increased defensive efforts, it will still be higher than the average player's scoring rate.
After all, no team can be truly watertight defensively, not even the Italian team, which is known for its defense.
Therefore, as long as Cheng Hai gets two or three shots in the twenty or thirty minutes he plays, it is possible to cause a goal, which is too cost-effective.
So Klopp didn't want to let Cheng Hai go, and when he saw Cheng Hai coming back, he didn't ask too much when he knew the answer, and directly asked Cheng Hai to return to the team and participate in the team training.
The teammates knew that Cheng Hai was going to sign today, but they didn't have Klopp's foresight.
Therefore, when they saw Cheng Hai coming back, everyone asked about the signing of the contract. When they heard Cheng Hai say that some conditions had not been negotiated and had not been able to sign the contract, everyone showed incredible eyes.
Everyone's point of view is the same.
For a young player who was previously an amateur player for Chinese university students, shouldn't the opportunity to sign for Borussia Dortmund be a desperate and immediate one?
Cheng Hai didn't sign it, and bargained with the club?
As a pure newcomer without any professional training and professional game experience, he is not afraid to miss this signing and never have the opportunity to enter professional football again?
People can't figure it out.
However, some people praised Cheng Hai's courage.
For example, Shinji Kagawa felt that with Cheng Hai's strength, he really shouldn't sign a pure rookie contract, and he still had the conditions to bargain with the club.
Even if you can't sign Dortmund, you can go to other poor Bundesliga, or Bundesliga and Bundesliga clubs, you still have a chance.
As a last resort, go back to China to join the Chinese Super League and Chinese League A teams, improve your skills and physical fitness, and return to Europe in two years.
Therefore, Shinji Kagawa agreed with Cheng Hai's decision.
Cheng Hai didn't care about the opinions of his teammates, anyway, he had to add a liquidated damages clause before he was willing to sign the contract.
In order to do that, he has to perform better in training and in games and have Klopp convince the management or have the management come to see him in person.
Just when Cheng Hai's signing negotiations with the club were temporarily suspended and he continued to participate in the trial, the media reports of the friendly match between Dortmund vs Lot yesterday were also released.
Borussia Dortmund's 5-1 thrashing of Lot was not a surprise, so the media focused on other, newer areas.
Cheng Hai, who came off the bench and scored a goal, was still dug up by the media.
When it was learned that he was just a collegiate tryout player from China, the media lost interest.
Judging from the fact that Cheng Hai Shopping Mall was physically exhausted and was replaced after 20 minutes, perhaps Cheng Hai would not be able to play in the professional league at all.
Even that goal may have had a great element of luck.
Therefore, the last report of the media only mentioned one sentence: in the 53rd minute, Nuri Shahin made a wonderful pass to assist No. 99 Cheng Hai to score.
From this sentence, it can be seen that the media praised Nuri Shaheen's wonderful pass assist, not Cheng Hai's goal.
As a result, almost no fans or readers were interested in Cheng Hai at No. 99, and several Chinese media reporters who also reported on Hao Junmin at Schalke 04 FC in the Ruhr region did not notice the report of the match about Cheng Hai.
Cheng Hai continues to train at the training base in Dortmund.
After the training in the afternoon, plus the previous competition experience, the night's dream training experience, etc., Cheng Hai's experience reached level 11 20,600/20,000, and was automatically upgraded to level 12 00,600/30,000, and he was rewarded with 20 skill points again.
With the addition of the remaining 2 skill points, the balance of skill points is 22.
As for the newly opened random skills, the system turned on the "GK save" for Cheng Hai, that is, the goalkeeper's instinctive save response, with an initial attribute value of 2.
This save is not a skill that is conveyed to the mind after the eye sees the ball path, and the brain directs the goalkeeper to make the save.
It is the instinctive reaction and knee-jerk reaction accumulated by the goalkeeper in long-term training and games, and the moment the opponent shoots, he subconsciously pounces in the direction of the ball's flight, without going through the command of the brain.
Just like some shots close at hand in a small penalty area, how can the goalkeeper have time to use his brain to analyze, command, and then make a save?
In professional football, there's not that much time for you to react.
They all subconsciously pounce on the direction where the opponent is most likely to shoot and make instinctive saves.
This is called a GK save.
Skills with the word GK refer to instinctive reactions.
Of course, having said so much, in fact, this is a goalkeeper's skill, and it has no effect on the current Cheng Hai!
Therefore, the 20 skill points that Cheng Haixin obtained were all used by him for his old skills!
Cheng Hai was able to conquer Klopp, relying on his full-value archery skills.
With this outstanding skill that shocked Klopp, Cheng Haicai was recognized by Klopp when his physical fitness and skills were not up to standard.
Therefore, now that there is a chance to fill up a skill again, Cheng Hai did not think too much about it, and first spent 10 skill points to increase the physique of 19 to 20, leaving 12 skill points.
With a full physique of 20, it is estimated that even if the opponent reaches a height of 190cm and a weight of 90kg, Cheng Hai can compete.
The defender, who is only about 180cm tall and weighs about 80kg, will completely fall behind when facing Cheng Hai.
At the same time, after the physique is increased to 20 full value, Cheng Hai's physical fitness will also be slightly improved.
Coupled with the daily scientific training of the physical trainer and the recovery ability of the systematic dream training, Cheng Hai believes that he will be able to play more and more time.
With 12 skill points left, Cheng Hai has two options: grab points and run without the ball.
Two are mediocre and not as prominent as one.
After thinking about it, Cheng Hai still added 10 skill points to running without the ball, and added 17 to 19 running without the ball, and there were still 2 skill points left.
The off-ball run at 19 points is close to full value, and it can definitely be compared to Inzaghi, Van Nistelrooy and other masters of running off the ball, and they are more stable than them.
Coupled with the full value of archery and physique, Cheng Hai did not believe that his next performance in training matches and friendly matches could not conquer Klopp.
Sure enough, in the training match on July 16, Cheng Hai's game time was increased to 35 minutes, and then he was replaced due to physical exhaustion.
In these 35 minutes, Cheng Hai went one step further and completed the senior happiness.
35 minutes to complete the senior four, despite being a training match with low intensity and defensive intensity, is surprising enough.
Such a performance naturally made Klopp even more entangled, and it was even more impossible to give up on him.
In the evening, after dinner, the team headed to the airport for a direct flight to Austria.
The next day, July 17, in the second pre-season friendlie, Borussia Dortmund played away against Floridzdorf of the Austrian third division.
Cheng Hai was still sitting on the bench.
This time, the team's performance was much better than the first friendlie.
In the 5th minute, center forward Barrios grabbed the first point in a corner kick attack and headed the ball into the opponent's goal, Dortmund 1-0 Floridzedorff away.
In the 24th minute, full-back Shinji Kagawa cut into the box and swept the ball into the goal after receiving a clever pass from teammate Zidan, and Dortmund easily led Floridzdorf 2-0 away.
You're in control.
In the second half, Jurgen Klopp made a couple of substitutions.
In the 63rd minute, substitute Gotze cut inside with the ball himself, and then made a one-two with Grosskloitz to hit the wall and then hit the penalty area and volleyed into the far corner.
Borussia Dortmund led Floridzdorf 3-0 and the win was decided.
Of course, the opponent is only an Austrian third division team, so such a result is normal.
In the 70th minute, Cheng Hai was finally replaced by Klopp and replaced Zidan. In front of him is Barrios, the main center who has performed well and has not yet been replaced.
Replace Cheng Hai at this time, which means that Cheng Hai will kick out the rest of the time!
And Cheng Hai not only wants to finish, but also wants to have an excellent performance.
He was going to convince Klopp with his performance and convince the management to agree to his terms.
Cheng Hai, whose physique has been increased to 20 and his off-ball running has been increased to 19, has performed better in this game than in the last friendly match with Lot.
In the 77th minute, Floridzdorff, who was bent on scoring a goal to save a little face, not only failed to score, but was counterattacked by Dortmund.
Cheng Hai took advantage of the 19-point offside run without the ball to successfully counter the offside, received a long pass from captain Sebastian Kyle to form a single knife, and faced the opponent's goalkeeper on the line of the big penalty area to shoot an empty goal.
Cheng Hai scored as a substitute in two consecutive friendlies, which made Klopp on the sidelines happy and mixed feelings.
It seems that he had to come forward to persuade the management to restart the contract with Cheng Hai and make some concessions to Cheng Hai.
Such a Cheng Hai, he doesn't want to lose.
However, Klopp thought that Cheng Hai had scored well enough as a substitute in two consecutive games, but Cheng Hai himself was not satisfied.
With more than 10 minutes to go, he still wants to keep scoring.
However, after scoring the first goal, Cheng Hai became the target of the opponent's focus, and it was not so easy to get a chance to shoot.
In the 83rd minute, although Cheng Hai received a pass from his teammates on the left wing of the penalty area and formed a goal.
But when he got up to hit the goal, he was finally hit by the opposing defender in time, causing a little deviation in the angle he wanted to play, the angle was slightly correct, and the goalkeeper tried his best to save it.
In the 88th minute, Cheng Hai ran out of a gap in the penalty area, and Shinji Kagawa, who was holding the ball, also saw his running position and wanted to send the ball over.
Unexpectedly, Shinji Kagawa's pass was recognized by the opposing defender, and a timely sliding tackle shoveled the ball away before Cheng Hai received the ball.
Otherwise, judging from the position of Cheng Hai in this attack, I am afraid that Cheng Hai may form a shot again.
It's a pity that he was spotted by the opponent and shoveled the ball away halfway.
The game continued.
Playing friendly matches against outside teams is really different from the intensity of training matches within the team.
Cheng Hai, who can score four goals in 35 minutes of the team's training match, will find it difficult to get a second chance after scoring the first goal in this game.
Because the opponent already knows how good he is, he won't let him run out of the gap to get a chance to shoot.
Fortunately, in addition to running, Cheng Hai also has a physique that has been added to the full value of 20 to rely on.
Friendlies are not as formal as official matches and have definite stoppage time.
There was also no fourth official holding up a sign saying that there would be a few minutes of stoppage time, that is, the referee had the discretion to let everyone continue the game, and when he felt that it was almost over, the final whistle would be over.
So, in the 92nd minute of stoppage time, Dortmund finally took advantage of another attacking opportunity for Barrios to shoot and force the opposing goalkeeper to save the ball.
Borussia Dortmund were awarded a corner up front.
In the usual corner kicks, because of the lack of height, Cheng Hai mostly stood outside the penalty area, waiting for the opportunity to grab the second point to attack.
But this time, instead of standing outside the box, he stood in the box with Barrios, Kyle, Schmelzer and others.
Of course, with his height of 176cm, the bounce is not good, and it is unlikely that he will succeed in the top fight in the penalty area.
Neither the goalkeeper nor Floridzdorf's defenders took Cheng Hai seriously, and their focus was on the taller Schmelzer, Kyle, Barrios and others.
The one who was closely guarding Cheng Hai was just a fullback. But only he knows how uncomfortable he is to be stuck by Cheng Hai.
In fact, the full-back is also 181cm tall, which is not short. And it weighs 80 kg, so it's very strong.
As a result, in the process of competing for the position with Cheng Hai, he has always been at a disadvantage, and he was firmly stuck behind Cheng Hai, so he could only reluctantly confront Cheng Hai.
This surprised him.
He thought that in the face of Cheng Hai's height and size, he could easily defend Cheng Hai, but he didn't expect Cheng Hai's physique to be so strong and muscular.
Of course, in addition to Cheng Hai and the defender who was closely marking him, other players on both sides also kept pushing and pulling inside and outside the penalty area, grabbing advantageous positions and preparing to compete for headers.
The corner kick was taken by Shinji Kagawa.
Although he saw Cheng Hai in the penalty area, he did not send the ball to Cheng Hai's head.
Because of the usual training, it can be seen that Cheng Hai's bounce and header are not good. Coupled with the height limit, even if the ball is sent to Cheng Hai's head, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to fight.
So after Shinji Kagawa sent the ball out, his pass landed at the front point, above the head of central defender Schmelzer.
The ball was well passed, and Schmelzer jumped off smoothly, fought for the top, grabbed the first point, and shook his head in the small penalty area.
However, Schmelzer was interfered with by the opposing defender, and the ball did not go out of the angle. Although it is within the range of the door frame, the angle is slightly correct.
Therefore, despite the very close distance, the first reaction of the goalkeeper of Floridzdorf was very fast, and almost subconsciously reached out to stop the ball.
However, the ball that was stopped did not fall at the feet of the goalkeeper, but was bounced to the other side of the small penalty area, causing a wave of confusion among the players on both sides.
In the confusion, I don't know who stabbed the ball, hit a player's calf bone, and bounced to the position between the penalty spots in the left corner of the small penalty area, just in front of Cheng Hai.
Although the defender in the back stretched his legs to destroy the ball, Cheng Hai's 15 grabbing points and 19's off-ball running were equally dissatisfied.
What's more, he still has a 20-level physique.
Therefore, Cheng Hai opened his arms to block the destruction of the defender behind him, and one took a step forward, then stood still with his left foot, and volleyed the ball with his right foot into the far corner.
In the shadow of the penalty area, that was almost the only goal route Cheng Hai saw.
But it was this looming goal route that was also caught by Cheng Hai's 20-year-old shooting skills.
His volley first went through the crotch of one of Floridzdorff's defenders who was striding to intercept, then past Dortmund striker Barrios and into Floridzdorf's far post against the post.
The goalkeeper, standing on the goal line, didn't even have time to react, and watched the ball fly into the net.
Cheng Hai scored a brace to give Borussia Dortmund a 5-0 lead away.
Fu Hangyi jumped up on the sidelines, clenched his fists and shouted excitedly: "Good ball!" Strike! Go in beautifully! ”
The rest of the team on the field also gathered around, high-fived and hugged Cheng Hai, celebrating his brace and the team's 5-0 lead.
And Klopp, who was on the sidelines, applauded and decided in his heart that he would talk to the general managers when he went back this time, and he must sign Cheng Hai.
He had already learned from the general manager and others that Cheng Hai's requirements were the contract period and liquidated damages clauses.
Originally, he didn't agree with it.
But now it seems that disapproval will not work.
Cheng Hai's archery skills are really exquisite. If Dortmund lets go of the sea and lets him join a competitor such as Bayern Munich or something, it will be a double loss for Dortmund.
Therefore, even if there are certain concessions in terms of the length of the contract and the liquidated damages clause, Klopp feels that it is acceptable.
Good people always get some preferential treatment!
Although Cheng Hai is only an amateur player who has signed with a professional club for the first time, his shooting skills and the physique shown in this game, off-ball running, etc., as well as the two most intuitive goals, are absolutely excellent.
Not long after Cheng Hai's brace, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Borussia Dortmund won their second pre-season friendly of the season with a 5-0 win over Austrian Division III side Floridzdorf.
As the only Cheng Hai who scored two goals today, he also received a 10,000-point experience reward for the best player on the spot issued by the system at the end of the game, and the experience rose to 25,600/30,000 at level 12.
