Chapter 221 2012 183 balls
Just when the players on both sides were exhausted and ready to wait for the penalty shootout, in the second half of overtime, seeing that the overtime was about to end, Cheng Hai still had the physical energy to run in the front court, forcing Hannover 96 to fall to the back.
Although Cheng Hai was in poor condition in this game, it was largely mental exhaustion, which led to a lot of poor control of the ball.
But in terms of physical fitness, Cheng Hai became the only player in the field at this time who could still run all over the field.
At this time, the ball was controlled at the feet of the Hannover 96 defenders, who had no energy to attack from the passing and cutting positions.
Of course, Dortmund is the same, so Lewandowski, Gundogan and others are just putting on a show, and they are not like Cheng Hai who sprinted like crazy to press.
Several defenders of Hannover 96 were also unable to pass the ball to the midfield, and they did not dare, for fear of being broken by Dortmund to counterattack.
They just fell to the back and even the goalkeeper was involved, trying to drag out the rest of the time, play penalty shoot-outs and try their luck.
To be able to force the newly released six-time champion of the year, the new Cosmos team Borussia Dortmund, into a penalty shootout, even if they lose in the end, it is enough to be proud.
What's more, they don't necessarily lose in penalty shootouts.
With this in mind, several Hannover 96 defenders and goalkeepers kept passing the ball according to Cheng Hai's running position, which looked like a monkey walking performance.
Cheng Hai rushed to John Julu, who was holding the ball near the right corner of the penalty area, but Julu did not wait for Cheng Hai to get close, and passed the ball to goalkeeper Zille on the line of the small penalty area.
Cheng Hai immediately turned around and rushed into the penalty area and ran towards Ziller, who didn't wait for Cheng Hai to get closer, and passed the ball to Cherundolo on the left wing.
Cheng Hai ran to Cherundolo, who in turn passed to another centre-back, Ejiman, and then to full-back Pandel, and so on.
Because Lewandowski and others are really exhausted, they can't run, and they can only carry out walk-style eye pressing, so the Hannover defenders can choose a lot of directions to the ball, even if Cheng Hai's full physical fitness and sprint speed, defensive position, and steal ability are difficult to create any pressure on the opponent.
This situation has actually lasted for two or three minutes, and some extreme Hannover fans and racists in the stands began to laugh and mock Cheng Hai.
In their opinion, Cheng Hai is a monkey and clown who is played by his own backcourt players, which is ridiculous.
Cheng Hai didn't care so much.
He doesn't want to play a penalty shoot-out, there are too many uncertainties in a penalty shoot-out, and even if Dortmund has more stars than Hannover 96 and goalkeeper Weidenfeller looks better than the opposing goalkeeper Zeller, he may not necessarily win the penalty shoot-out.
Therefore, although he had been walking for two or three minutes and he could hear the laughter in the stands, he still did not give up.
What if the last chance presents itself?
Who knows.
As a result, under Cheng Hai's continuous high-speed pressing, in the 119th minute, fullback Cerundolo passed back to Julu in the penalty area, and the ball power was a little smaller, resulting in a very slow ball speed.
Cheng Hai's eyes lit up halfway, and he immediately changed direction and rushed to the ball.
On the other side, Gundogan, Lewandowski and others also had their eyes lit up, saw the opportunity, and immediately mobilized their little physical strength, forcing the remaining defenders Pandel, Ejiman and others to prevent Julu from having a place to play.
Full-back Gotze also rushed towards Dorencello to prevent Djolu from passing the ball back to him.
Seeing that Dorenchero's passing power was too small, Zhulu was shocked, and immediately rushed out of the penalty area and rushed towards the incoming ball.
After all, the ball was passed to Zhulu by Cherundolo, and the direction was closer to Zhulu, and Zhulu grabbed the ball before Cheng Hai.
But when he swept his eyes, he found that Torenchero, Pandel, Egilman and others were all closely defended by Dortmund's players, and there was a risk of losing the ball when passing the ball.
Cheng Hai rushed up quickly, Zhu Lu didn't have time to think about it, he didn't stop Dorencello's pass, and immediately turned around and let go of the ball, wanting to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper Ziller in the small penalty area.
However, the unexpected came out of nowhere at this moment.
Julu is also a man who has played 120 minutes, and he is also a defender, under the strong pressure exerted by the Dortmund attack group led by Cheng Hai, he runs even more distance than the strikers of Hannover, and at this time he is also exhausted.
It's just that when there were no accidents before, he could stop the ball and pass the ball for a long time, leaving him more space and time to adjust, so there were no mistakes.
But this time Cherundolo made a passing error, so he didn't have that time to adjust and pass calmly under Cheng Hai's high-speed pressing.
Under the threat of Cheng Hai, he didn't even dare to stop the ball, and directly half-turned around to pass the ball back to the goalkeeper.
As a result, at the moment of half-turning and passing, there was a sudden soreness in Zhulu's supporting feet, causing a slight change in the center of gravity of his body.
The ball that Zhulu expected to pass to the goalkeeper was kicked by him, and he didn't kick it with power, but just touched it lightly and rolled towards the corner of the small penalty area, and the direction was not towards goalkeeper Ziller.
Zhu Lu was shocked, and immediately supported his foot to exert his strength and wanted to rush up to grab the ball, but his left foot continued to weaken, and a stinging pain came from his big leg: Zhu Lu's leg cramped.
He fell down in despair, watching Cheng Hai whizz past him and rush into the forbidden area.
In the penalty area, goalkeeper Ziller was also ready to receive the ball, but he didn't expect Zhu Lu to have leg cramps and kick the ball at a critical moment.
By the time he reacted and wanted to rush over to grab the ball, it was too late.
After estimating the distance between him and the ball, Ziller found that he would not touch the ball earlier than Cheng Hai, so he could only move his body to the near corner and block the angle of Cheng Hai's shot first.
Of course, the goalkeeper is just one person after all, and the door frame is so big, it is impossible to seal it completely, just look at the opponent's striker's shooting skills.
It just so happens that Cheng Hai is the only person in the world who has full value in archery.
Although the first 120 minutes of the game were in poor form, many shots on goal failed, either out of bounds or saved by the goalkeeper.
But this opportunity, Cheng Hai still decided to shoot directly, and could not give the opponent's other defenders time to return to the defense.
In the process of Cheng Hai chasing the ball, he saw that the goalkeeper Qiler moved to the near corner, and the center of gravity moved to the near corner, and probably thought that Cheng Hai would play the near corner, plus he didn't look at the goal behind him, but he was moving by feeling, so the angle of Qiler's blocking was mainly in the near corner.
So, Cheng Hai did not hesitate, and when he caught up with the ball outside the corner of the small penalty area and shot with his feet, he pumped the ball into the far corner.
This ball Cheng Hai did not hit the boccia, but picked the ball up slightly, and drew a low flat ball in the air, also to prevent Zeller from stretching his legs to block the boccia ball at the far end although his body was in the near corner.
Then Cheng Hai himself was thrown out by inertia and fell out of the bottom line.
But the ball kicked out by Cheng Hai had successfully lifted off the ground and flew over Zeller's outstretched right leg.
Zeller really reacted well, sat down with a fart, and tried his best to stretch his legs to block Cheng Hai's shot to the far corner.
But Cheng Hai kicked up the ball in the air, just flew past his feet, and then flew into the far goal before another central defender, Ejiman, who was returning to the defense, cleared the ball, and crashed into the far side netting.
Egilman also fell into the back of the net but couldn't prevent the goal.
Cheng Hai, who was in poor form throughout the game, finally played his normal level in this last minute of the counter-robbery shot and kicked the ball into the goal of Hannover 96.
The moment the ball flew into the goal and hit the inside net, the entire Westphalen Stadium exploded, and tens of thousands of Hornets fans jumped to their feet, letting out huge screams and shouts, screaming and screaming to vent their excitement.
The commentators on the commentary seat also roared in the loudest voices:
“Toooooooooooooooooooooor……”
"Lore !!"
"Final Kill!!
"Cheng Hai scored a stunning goal in the last minute of extra time!"
Cheng Hai, who was in poor form in this game, finally broke out in the last minute, and got a direct shot opportunity through his front-court counter-robbery, scoring a crucial goal! Helped Borussia Dortmund beat Hannover 96 2-1 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the German Cup. ”
"No matter how bad the state is, Cheng Hai will always be Cheng Hai, always the world's No. 1 striker!"
"With Cheng Hai's brace, Dortmund finally beat Hannover 96 2-1 in 120 minutes, and there was no need to play a frightening penalty shootout."
"Cheng Hai scored a fateful goal in the last minute of extra time in the last game of 2012 in the German Cup, drawing a perfect end to his 2012 game."
On the field, Cheng Hai, who scored the killer goal, was also excited, ran to the sidelines, stepped over the billboard, and then threw himself into the die-hard fan base in the South Stand, where the fans kept hugging, pulling, and slapping to celebrate this crucial goal together.
Cheng Hai's stunner retained the possibility for Dortmund to continue to win the German Cup this season, and also retained the possibility of winning the six crowns this season.
Lewandowski, Gundogan and others, who were already physically exhausted, also rushed over excitedly and rushed to the stands together to celebrate with Cheng Hai and the fans.
After flying halfway around the world to Japan to play two Club World Cup games, and then coming back to play the German Cup three days later, in a very poor state, he can still beat the opponent and advance to the next round of the German Cup, whether it is Cheng Hai, teammates, fans, there are enough reasons to be excited.
The game isn't over yet, though.
In particular, the players of Hannover 96 were killed by Cheng Hai at the last minute, naturally they were unwilling, and Cheng Hai and others protested to the referee after celebrating for more than 20 seconds, hoping that the game would start soon.
Under the intervention of the referee, Cheng Hai and others returned to the court and waited for Hannover 96 to restart.
However, before kick-off, Klopp made substitutions to delay time.
At this point, the clock had reached 120 minutes, and the fourth official gave 1 minute of stoppage time. The Hannover fans in the stands booed that stoppage time was too short, but the referee ignored it.
Although the Hannover 96 launched a full-strength press in the final stages, they were equally physically and technically problematic.
In the final stages, they only had time to hit a wave shot from outside the box, flying high off the crossbar and into the stands, causing a burst of laughter from the Dortmund fans in the stands.
Then, after stoppage time ran out and the referee delayed for more than ten seconds, the ball was finally broken off the sideline.
As the Hannover players were about to take the throw-in, the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game.
With Cheng Hai's penalty kick and a last-minute winner in extra time, Dortmund defeated Hannover 96 2-1 and advanced to the fourth round of the 2012/2013 German Cup, the quarterfinals, retaining their hopes of winning the six crowns of the season.
At the same time, Dortmund's final game of 2012 also came to an end, and Cheng Hai's final goal in 2012 was fixed at 183 goals, 31 goals more than the 152 goals in 2011.
Although it did not break the 200-goal mark, it was already a shocking record.
