Chapter 208: 300 Ball Mark

After playing the first round of the Champions League group stage, the next three games were in the Bundesliga.

On September 22, in the fourth round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund challenged Hamburg away, and Hamburg played a super game in this game, scoring 3 goals in the cheering of the home fans.

Fortunately, Dortmund still has Cheng Hai.

Cheng Hai scored two goals, had an assist, and launched an attack through a long pass transfer to allow Royce to score the last goal.

Borussia Dortmund won a hard-fought 4-3 away from home, but they didn't let the win be interrupted and Bayern Munich, who also won this round, climbed to the top.

Borussia Dortmund remain top of the Bundesliga standings on goal difference.

After this game, Cheng Hai's career total has reached 298.

In fact, in this game, some fans have already made banners or slogans to celebrate Cheng Hai's career total goals breaking through the 300-goal mark, and media reporters have also done a good job of reporting the news that Cheng Hai's career total goals have exceeded the 300-goal mark.

It's a pity that Cheng Hai only scored two goals in the end and failed to stage the big four to break through the 300-goal mark.

However, in the next game, the probability of Cheng Hai breaking the 300-goal mark is much greater.

With Cheng Hai's average goal per game efficiency, this probability is quite large.

On September 25, in the 5th round of the 2012/2013 Bundesliga season, Dortmund challenged Frankfurt away, Cheng Hai really lived up to expectations, not only reached the 300 goals mark in his career, but also scored 4 goals, staged a big four, and led Dortmund to a 5-1 victory away from home.

After the game, many media reported the news that Cheng Hai's career total goals exceeded the 300-goal mark.

"In the 5th round of the Bundesliga, Cheng Hai staged a big four, and the total number of goals in his career exceeded the 300 goal mark, reaching 302 goals. 》

"In less than 2 and a half years, Cheng Hai's career total goals have exceeded the 300 goal mark! 》

"In the future, maybe Cheng Hai will become the first player to break the 1,000-goal mark in his career!" 》

Yes, although Pele holds the world record for 1,283 goals scored in his football career, that was all the goals scored in all competitions, including friendlies.

And Pele's career official game goals are only 757 goals.

This is already the world record for career goals scored in an official match by ranking No. 1 in the world.

That is, until now, no one has scored more than 1,000 goals in a real official professional football match.

If Cheng Hai can take the lead in completing this achievement, it will undoubtedly be a great achievement and glory, and he will be famous all over the world.

Looking at Cheng Hai's speed of breaking through the 300-goal mark in a little more than 2 years, as long as he is not injured, breaking through the 1,000-goal mark within ten years is a completely high-probability event, and countless people are waiting and seeing.

On September 29, in the 6th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund hosted Borussia Mönchengladbach, Cheng Hai continued the fiery state of the last game, and went one step further in the cheering of the home fans, completing a five-goal performance in a single game.

In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 6-0, and Cheng Hai led his teammates to complete the big score slaughter against Borussia Mönchengladbach at home.

Bayern Munich also won this round of the league, and now only Dortmund and Bayern Munich have won the first six league games in the standings, and they are in the top two with 18 points, and Dortmund is in first place with a goal difference.

This season's Bundesliga title race is basically between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich.

Bayern's huge investment in the summer transfer window has paid off, but it will depend on how the two sides perform when they meet directly in the league.

But looking at Dortmund's performance since the start of the season, Bayern want to beat Dortmund in the league unless Cheng Hai does not play.

Therefore, despite the same six consecutive wins as Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich is quite low-key, and neither the players nor the fans let go of any big talk.

With Cheng Hai here, they really don't have the confidence to defeat Dortmund to win the championship.

Of course, Borussia Dortmund didn't care about Bayern Munich either.

After winning the Bundesliga title for two consecutive seasons and beating Bayern Munich on all fronts, Dortmund are aiming to defend their Champions League title this season.

The Bundesliga champion is almost in everyone's mind. As long as Cheng Hai is not injured, there is almost no possibility of being left behind.

Everyone is more concerned about how to get out of the group of death, and go all the way to complete the feat of defending the title for the first time since the Champions League was restructured.

At 20:45 on the evening of October 3, the second round of Group D of the 2012/2013 Champions League group stage Manchester City vs Dortmund officially kicked off at Manchester City's home stadium at the Etihad Stadium.

The weather was not good for this game, and it was raining moderately. Although it is not big, it is not small, and it greatly affects the realization of the player's actions and the movement of his feet.

As a result, both sides can only engage in more physical collisions and attack with long passes.

At this point, Dortmund undoubtedly has a big advantage.

Although Dortmund will make mistakes due to weather and venue reasons, Cheng Hai's physique, running, point grabbing, speed, bounce, header and other abilities are undoubtedly the only one in the game, the most outstanding one, and he can always occupy the best position to complete the header in the battle for the top.

While his teammates don't always get the ball over his head, and he doesn't always get past the opponent's header, the odds are always much higher than other strikers.

In the 16th minute, in a bottom cross after Gundogan switched to the side, Cheng Hai relied on his excellent running, point-grabbing ability, and physique, collided with the opponent in the air, forced the point to succeed, and hit the goal with the first nod.

Cheng Hai's full-value header skills allowed him to push out a more awkward angle even under the interference of the opponent.

Although the ball was slow, goalkeeper Joe Hart couldn't save the ball and finally watched the ball fly into the net.

Cheng Hai opened the scoring on the road and helped Borussia Dortmund take a 1-0 lead away.

This conceded goal made Manchester City look very bad up and down.

Because they have already lost to Real Madrid in the first group game, this second round of the game is still at home, if they lose again, then Manchester City's prospects of qualifying from the group will become very bleak.

Therefore, in addition to continuing to strengthen the attack, Manchester City also strengthened the defense against Cheng Hai to prevent Cheng Hai from scoring again.

If Cheng Hai scores one more goal for Dortmund and gives Dortmund a two-goal lead, then Manchester City will almost lose without a win.

Therefore, in the next game, as long as Cheng Hai gets the ball, whether he wants to break through or shoot directly, he will be frantically forced by Kompany, Yaya Toure and others.

It was difficult to control the ball on a rainy day, and under the interference of the opponent, Cheng Hai also made a lot of mistakes and often lost the ball.

But in order to curb Cheng Hai's possible breakthroughs and shots, and to distract the attack to try to score an equaliser, there are huge holes in other positions in Manchester City, allowing Lewandowski, Reus, Gundogan, Mario Gotze and others to often run out of gaps.

After discovering that Manchester City were focusing on him, Cheng Hai retreated or switched to the side to make a pass to assist.

Even when he plays wide or at the back, his full value vision, long passes in the air and crosses allow him to make dangerous passes.

While his team-mates may not always be able to grasp his passing intentions, once they do so, they can pose a huge threat to City's goal.

After wasting a few passes from Cheng Hai, in the 35th minute, Schmelzer, who was inserted in the back row, received a pass from Cheng Hai on the other side of the pitch, and then cut inside to shoot into the far corner.

Joe Hart, who rushed to Schmelzer's side, was hit in the opposite direction, couldn't react, and finally didn't even make a save, just watched the ball go into the net.

Cheng Hai assisted Schmelzer to extend the score to 2-0, and Manchester City fell into a desperate situation.

However, to be the Premier League champion last season and win the championship in the highly competitive Premier League, Manchester City's competitiveness cannot be underestimated.

In the 43rd minute, David Silva cut the ball along the bottom line on the side and passed the ball to the penalty spot, and Dzeko, who was inserted in the back row, met the ball and shot angrily.

The ball went straight to the goal.

As Dortmund got their hearts up and down, goalkeeper Weidenfeller stepped up and made a standard sideways save Dzeko for the ball.

Borussia Dortmund escaped the goal and managed to keep the score 2-0 until the end of the first half.

At half-time, City made a substitution, removing a defender and replacing him with the magical teenager Balotelli, who is a combination of angels and devils.

At this year's European Championships, Balotelli had both a life-like stroll and an earth-shattering blaster.

In the case of a big explosion, Balotelli's deterrent power may not be worse than Falcao.

After the start of the second half, Manchester City, who were two goals behind, pressed aggressively, attacked in an all-round way, and kept passing the ball to Balotelli, Aguero, David Silva and several forward goalscorers for them to shoot.

Because of the weather and the venue, both sides made more mistakes, and Dortmund did not take advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's pressure to continue to counterattack to expand the score, but conceded the goal in the 68th minute.

It was Balotelli who volleyed past Weidenfeller's goal after receiving Dzeko's pass in the penalty area and salvaged a point for City.

After the score was 1-2, the morale of the whole Manchester City team was greatly boosted, and they wanted to continue to make persistent efforts, quickly score another goal to equalize the score, and even stage a super reversal!

As a result, the overly excited Manchester City players gifted Borussia Dortmund a well-placed free-kick in the 72nd minute.

Because the formation pressed the offense aggressively, the defense was understaffed, and most of the people had to be divided into Cheng Hai.

So, when Gundogan passed the ball to Lewandowski with a straight kick, Lewandowski formed a single knife as soon as he received the ball.

It's a pity that Lewandowski was not as fast as Cheng Hai with the ball and was caught up by Kompany, who was back on the defending.

I was afraid that Lewandowski would help Dortmund score another goal and make them fall back two goals again, so he committed a tactical foul outside the penalty area and pushed Lewandowski to the ground.

Vincent Kompany was shown a yellow card by the referee and Borussia Dortmund were awarded a free-kick from a great distance, on the left side of the box, some 25 metres from goal.

It's simply tailor-made for Cheng Hai.

In this position, Cheng Hai's free kick goal rate is very high.

Sure enough, although Joe Hart correctly predicted and shifted early, Cheng Hai's ball to the near corner was still too fast and too awkward, and Joe Hart still couldn't save the ball after all, and could only watch the ball spin into the near corner.

Cheng Hai used a perfect full moon scimitar to extend the score to 3-1 for Dortmund, regaining a two-goal lead.

In the 72nd minute, with a two-goal lead, Cheng Hai almost sealed the win for Dortmund.

Of course, the difference between the two goals is not very far away, and Manchester City still has a little chance.

Therefore, Manchester City did not give up, but continued to press all over the field, trying to break the ball and play counter-attacks on the spot.

But Lady Luck didn't favor them, and they couldn't score again until the end of the game.

On the contrary, on the side of Dortmund, after Manchester City attacked aggressively and put a small amount of defensive strength on the defense of Cheng Hai, in the 88th minute, Lewandowski easily countered offside and successfully received a pass from Reuss to form a single knife.

This time, Lewandowski's single knife was more prominent, and the Manchester City players who returned to the defense were far away, and they didn't even get a chance to foul.

Cheng Hai went to the meeting single-handedly, facing the attacking goalkeeper Joe Hart at the top of the arc of the penalty area, and came with a volley.

The ball flew past Joe Hart like an arrow and into the City goal near the far post.

Lewandowski helped Dortmund to a 4-1 lead and seal the win.

Although Aguero dribbled into the Dortmund penalty area in the 91st minute and was brought down by Subotic to win a penalty for Manchester City, Balotelli also scored the goal to make it 2-4, but to no avail.

After three minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Dortmund won the first two Champions League group games in a row, leading the group with six points and five goal difference.

In the other group game, Ajax suffered a surprise 4-1 defeat at home to Real Madrid.

As a result, Real Madrid is in second place with 6 points and 4 goal difference, ranking second in the group with only one goal difference, and becoming Dortmund's number one opponent in the competition for the first place in the group and a more favorable draw position in the knockout round.

Manchester City and Ajax, two difficult brothers, also did not score a point after the first two games, ranking third and fourth in the group with 0 points, and the chances of qualifying from the group are not very good.

After this round of the Champions League, some people said that Manchester City and Ajax's league title was too watery and was beaten by Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund.

Some people also say that it is because Real Madrid and Dortmund are too strong to withstand Manchester City and Ajax, so they have to swallow the bitter fruit of two rounds of 0 points.

However, with only the second round of the group stage and four rounds remaining, Manchester City and Ajax still have a chance of qualifying, as long as they get enough points in the next games.

Back on the domestic stage, Bayern Munich won another league game on the previous day and temporarily sat first in the table.

The next day, October 7, in the 7th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund challenged Hannover 96 away.

Affected by the last away European match, two of the main players suffered from a cold and missed this round of the league.

But even so, the Hannover 96, who tried their best, could not stop Dortmund from continuing to win all the time.

Because Dortmund has the presence of Cheng Hai.

In the end, relying on Cheng Hai's hat trick, Dortmund took away a 3-1 victory away from home, and continued to beat Bayern Munich with a full win and goal difference, ranking first in the Bundesliga standings.

The seven wins since the start of the season have left other Bundesliga teams without the confidence to compete for the title, and they have set their sights on finishing third.

This season's title will certainly belong to just one team in Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

Both teams are in horrible form.

Who wins the championship may really depend on the German national derby between the two teams facing each other.

However, after this round of the Bundesliga, the league was suspended, and the world football entered the FIFA match day, and Cheng Hai was going to return to China to participate in the fifth round of the top ten matches of the World Preliminary Tournament Huaguo Team VS Uzbekistan.

Knowing that Cheng Hai was going back to China, Annia was already excited.

She put out the list of the programs to be broadcast during Cheng Hai's holiday in advance, and she can play the video when the time comes. And she is going to go to China with Cheng Hai.

Growing up in Dietford, known as Huaguo City, Annia, who is proficient in Chinese, has long been curious about Huaguo, but she has never had the opportunity to set foot on Huaguo soil in person before.

This FIFA match day is a longer holiday.

The 7th round of the Bundesliga is on October 7, while the top 10 matches are on October 16, which is almost ten days long.

The last meeting time given by the Chinese Football Association is October 12, and Cheng Hai still has a few days to spend with Aniya.

Of course, Huaguo is too big, and the competition venue is set in Beiping. Therefore, Cheng Hai decided to take his girlfriend to take a look in Beiping City, visit the Forbidden City, take a look at Tian'an' Square, climb the Great Wall, eat snacks in Beiping, and then almost go to participate in the training camp.

The two had already discussed countless times in advance, and asked Yue Yonghao, Han Zhijun and others to put forward their reference opinions, and finally came up with a relatively safe and reliable plan, which could not only allow Annia to see the famous attractions in Beiping almost the same, but also let her not have any risks.

The day after the match against Hannover 96, Cheng Hai and Ania boarded the plane back to China.

After a long flight of more than ten hours, Aniya, who should have been tired from the journey, couldn't help but feel very excited when she thought that she was about to enter her boyfriend's home country.

She lay on the side of the bed of the plane, looking at the huge Beiping City and the dense high-rise buildings, and couldn't help but be a little surprised:

"It seems that the prosperity of Peking is not worse than that of Berlin!"

Cheng Hai said proudly:

"Of course! Berlin is your capital, and Peking is also our capital. Moreover, not only Beiping, we also have several super first-tier cities such as Shanghai, Pengcheng, and Yangcheng, which will not be worse than Berlin. ”

Annia nodded, full of anticipation for the next travel in Beiping!
