Chapter 64: The Battle of Digging the Foot of the Wall

In the 88th minute, Dortmund's position attacked, and when Cheng Hai ran sideways to take away two defenders, substitute center Lewandowski entered the penalty area and received a diagonal long pass from the fullback to head the goal.

As a result, this time the angle of the goal was slightly correct, and it was saved by Nuremberg goalkeeper Schaefer.

At the next moment when the players and fans of Nuremberg breathed a sigh of relief, Cheng Hai appeared at the spot where the ball that was saved by Schaefer landed.

Cheng Hai, who was still on the left side of the penalty area just now, shook off the defenders almost instantly with the comprehensive ability of running without the ball, grabbing points, accelerating and other skills, appeared at the drop point of the ball in the small penalty area, stabbed the ball, and stabbed the ball into the goal with an easy follow-up shot.

Cheng Hai scored another brace to help Dortmund easily take a 3-0 lead away.

At 3-0 at this time, there will naturally be no more suspense in the game.

Although Nuremberg, who was fighting at home, still wanted to counterattack and score a goal to save a little face, but under the deterrence of Cheng Hai, the midfield did not dare to boldly press up, resulting in insufficient offensive strength and failed to score a face-saving goal until the end of the game.

Borussia Dortmund once again won 3-0 to continue to lead the table. And Cheng Hai once again scored a brace as a substitute, which won a lot of media reports.

With second-placed Mainz losing to Eintracht Frankfurt in this round, Dortmund's lead over Mainz has reached a double-digit 10 points.

You know, it's not over half a season, and it's so much ahead.

With two games left until the end of the winter break, Dortmund are 100 per cent sure of the Bundesliga's halfway title for the season, even if they lose the next two games.

The probability of winning the Bundesliga halfway championship is as high as about 70%.

Perhaps, Klopp is really going to win a Bundesliga title in his third season in charge of the Hornets.

And once Dortmund continues to win the last two games before the winter break and continues to maintain a double-digit points lead into the second half of the season, then Dortmund has more room for error in the second half of the season and has a higher probability of winning the championship.

There is a six-day gap between the 15th and 16th rounds of the Bundesliga, so Klopp gave everyone a day off after the away game against Nuremberg.

On December 6, the day of the holiday, the World Anti-Doping Agency announced the results of its first doping test against Cheng Hai.

In the doping test when Cheng Hai ran a 100-meter test run and set a new world record in 9.56 seconds, the World Anti-Doping Agency collected Cheng Hai's urine and blood samples before and after the Cheng Hai test.

The results proved that neither the urine sample before the test nor the blood after the test contained any stimulant ingredients.

Cheng Hai's 100-meter score of 9.56 seconds is completely based on Cheng Hai's own strength.

Of course, due to the development of science and technology and the lag of detection methods, many new dopings cannot be checked for the time being.

Therefore, the WADA inspection is divided into two parts.

After the first sample is normal, the urine or blood sample obtained must not be discarded, and it must be kept on file for many years, and another examination will be carried out after many years.

There are many examples in the history of sport where new types of doping were used, resulting in the first test not being detected, but the second test was detected many years later, and the honor was forfeited.

Therefore, Cheng Hai's doping test is only the first time, and his urine and blood samples will continue to be stored for a second test after many years.

But that doesn't matter anymore, and no one cares about it for the time being, everyone only cares about the current outcome.

Therefore, after the World Anti-Doping Agency confirmed that Cheng Hai did not take any doping in the 100-meter test, the name of the World Flyer was worn on Cheng Hai's head.

Although this result was not officially recognized by the IAAF and Guinness World Records, most people were convinced by the test in full view.

Of course, there are naturally a small number of people who are not convinced. Among them, the most unconvinced is Jamaican flyer Usain Bolt.

As a 100-meter flyer world record holder, he naturally has his own pride.

You must know that the last three world records in the 100-meter dash were all set by Usain Bolt, namely 9.72 seconds at the 2008 Reebok Track and Field Grand Prix in New York, 9.69 seconds at the 2008 Peking Olympics, and 9.58 seconds at the 2009 Berlin Track and Field World Championships.

The three 100m world records were broken by the same man, Usain Bolt, in just over a year, and it was this outstanding performance that gave Bolt the popularity of being world-famous and comparable to many of football's world superstars.

If there is a track and field star who has run a record that exceeds his record, he may still admit it and try to overtake it.

But Cheng Hai, a yellow man and a football player, has achieved such results. Even though the World Anti-Doping Agency proved that Cheng Hai did not take doping, Bolt was still quite uncomfortable and unconvinced.

So, in an interview with the media, Bolt shouted to Cheng Hai in the air:

"Cheng Hai's results are only test results and will not be officially recognized by the IAAF and Guinness World Records."

"In terms of test results, I also ran faster than Cheng Hai in the test."

"Therefore, if everyone thinks that Cheng Hai is faster than me and the nickname of the world's flying man should be given to Cheng Hai, this is not right."

"Cheng Hai wants to prove that he can run faster than me, unless he runs an official time of 9.58 seconds in the 100m in a regular track and field competition. Or beat me head-to-head in the same match as me, and I'll admit it. ”

When the reporter relayed Bolt's words to Cheng Hai, Cheng Hai did not respond positively, but said lightly: "I am a football player." ”

The implication is that he doesn't need to compete with Usain Bolt for speed.

However, he can ignore Bolt, but he cannot ignore the pressure from within the country.

After learning that Cheng Hai ran within 100 meters in 10 seconds, the domestic track and field association was already ready to move.

The 100m 9.56 seconds result of the subsequent official test shocked the world, but also made the officials and coaches of the Chinese National Athletics Association ecstatic, and launched an action plan without an official name to poach Cheng Hai from football to the field of track and field.

They first began to secretly contact Cheng Hai's parents, and at first Cheng Songquan and his wife thought they were unreliable liars and ignored them.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually killed Cheng Songquan's family directly, took out all kinds of supporting documents and work permits, and then moved Cheng Songquan and his wife with affection and reason, and persuaded Cheng Songquan and his wife on the grounds that the 100-meter dash is the foundation of human sports, Cheng Hai is easier to win the gold medal in the 100-meter dash, and it is much easier than football to win the World Cup.

Cheng Songquan and his wife, who have already enjoyed the fruits of Cheng Hai's football, are naturally not so easy to fool.

Not to mention who is higher and who is lower in track and field and football, just because Cheng Hai has made achievements in the field of football, there is no need to take the risk of abandoning football and trying the so-called track and field sprint!

As a result, the two sides were at a stalemate, and then they waited for the World Anti-Doping Agency to confirm that Cheng Hai did not take any doping and that the 100-meter time of 9.56 seconds was true and effective.

At this time, the Huaguo Athletics Association was even more excited, and even the chairman of the Athletics Association went directly to Cheng Song's house to persuade him with affection and reason.

Cheng Songquan and his wife couldn't stop it, so they could only call and inform Cheng Hai of the matter.

Cheng Hai naturally refused in his heart, and the system on his body was called the "Green Dominator System", which was obviously born for football.

If he goes to run track and field, even if the system is abolished, he will not be upgraded at all, and his strength will not be improved.

Only by playing football can he become stronger and stronger, and finally after adding all his skills to the full level, he may not have the possibility of leading the Chinese team to win the World Cup.

Therefore, Cheng Hai wanted to refuse tactfully.

Unexpectedly, he ignored the significance of a 100-meter world record sprinter to Chinese track and field.

Liu Xiang's relatively unpopular 110-meter hurdles event can be regarded as the hero of the yellow race in the field of sports, defeating whites and blacks, not to mention Cheng Hai's 100-meter sprint world record?

No matter what Cheng Hai said, the other party just stayed at his house and continued to persuade Cheng Hai's parents, leaving Cheng Hai helpless.

In the end, Cheng Hai's agent Baker came up with an idea and told the Chinese Football Association about it.

As soon as the Chinese Football Association heard about this, it was okay.

Huaguo football finally produced a super talent, who was able to lead the national Olympic team to defeat South Korea's U23 for the first time, win the Asian Games championship for the first time, and salvage some reputation for the infamous Huaguo football.

Cheng Hai is simply the treasure of Chinese football, the big legs, and there is absolutely no room for failure.

The Athletics Association wants to dig into the corner of the Football Association, and the sky will never be allowed to fall.

As a result, the Football Association immediately went to Qianzhou Province to confront the Athletics Association, and attracted the attention of the General Administration of Sports.

First of all, Cheng Hai must be asked for his opinion.

In the case that Cheng Hai himself did not agree to change careers, after the mediation of the General Administration of Sports, the Athletics Association could only sigh and go home, and revoked the plan to want Cheng Hai to change careers to run track and field.

But in my heart, in the face of Cheng Hai, a potential athlete who may win the Olympic gold medal in the 100-meter sprint, it is impossible for the Athletics Association to dispel that idea like this.

It's just that for Cheng Hai, as long as the other party doesn't come to disturb him and his parents.

He still has to do his football career first.

Because of the industry limitations of the system, he can only achieve enough results in the field of football to attract the attention of the world.

In addition to the matter of Usain Bolt and Huaguo Athletics Association digging into the wall, after the test results of the World Anti-Doping Agency were announced, there were more brands looking for Cheng Hai to endorse, mainly concentrated in China and Europe.

With Cheng Hai's current popularity and the huge market of 1.3 billion people in China, although he has not yet won any football championships and individual honors in Europe, his commercial endorsement value may already be at the level of a world superstar.

Baker's offer to Cheng Hai for some of the brands also proves this.

The endorsement fee of some brands is higher than the previous top stars Liu Xiang and Yao Ming of Huaguo Sports, which proves Cheng Hai's popularity in Huaguo.

However, Cheng Hai does not pay much attention to these off-the-field things.

He thinks that the money is enough, and the most important thing at the moment is to improve his strength and get more championships and honors. As long as there are champions and honors, endorsement fees will naturally roll in, and there is no need to worry about it at all.

Therefore, Cheng Hai didn't care about these at all, just told Baker to arrange for him, but made it clear that the endorsement brand should not be too much, and he could not delay his training, competition and rest.

Baker naturally did not offend Cheng Hai, a cash cow, and negotiated with the brand according to Cheng Hai's wishes.

I believe that the brands that can finally sign a contract with Cheng Hai are all brands that have both fame, high endorsement fees, and refreshing payments, which in turn is a bonus and recognition for Cheng Hai's popularity.

The off-field affairs were handed over to the agent, and Cheng Hai continued to concentrate on training.

On December 11, 2010, Borussia Dortmund sat at the Westfaren Stadium for the 16th round of the Bundesliga against Bundesliga powerhouse Werder Bremen.

Werder Bremen is a traditional powerhouse in the Bundesliga, but they have not played well this season and are currently in the middle of the table, with a bit of a gap in strength with Borussia Dortmund at the top of the table.

In addition, it is an away game, and at the Westfaren Stadium, which is known as the most terrifying home stadium in Europe, Werder Bremen's performance has been affected to a certain extent.

As a result, Werder Bremen had conceded two goals at the end of the first half, and the two sides went into the break with a 2-0 scoreline, with Borussia Dortmund leading by two goals at home.

At the start of the second half, Werder Bremen tried to score goals with a wave of counter-attacks in front of Cheng Hai.

However, the solid and tacit defense of Kyle, Hummels, Subotic, Schmelzer and others made Werder Bremen's plan fall short and they have not been able to score.

In the 65th minute, after Cheng Hai came on the field, Werder Bremen's attack was basically useless.

Because, their backfield needs to keep an eye on the terrifying Cheng Hai, so naturally they have no spare strength to participate in the attack.

The lack of manpower makes it even more unlikely that Werder Bremen will score.

On the contrary, Dortmund's side, using Cheng Hai's deterrence and the combat effectiveness bonus of the home battle, bombarded Werder Bremen indiscriminately after Cheng Hai played.

Although Bremen contracted their defense and restricted Cheng Hai's off-ball running and grabbing points to a greater extent, they had no choice in the face of Cheng Hai's header skills.

The first is that Cheng Hai is not short in height now, and secondly, Cheng Hai's physique allows him to gain an advantage in the confrontation in the penalty area.

Finally, it is Cheng Hai's bouncing and heading skills.

In the face of a pervert like Cheng Hai, even a strong team such as Bremen can't stop it at all.

Even if he defended with all his might, the defense line was finally broken until the 76th minute.

It was a free kick from Borussia Dortmund on the wing, which was taken by Gotze, and instead of shooting straight at goal, he hoisted the ball into the box, and Cheng Hai and players from both sides rushed into the box to fight for the top.

At this time, it reflects Cheng Hai's comprehensive strength.

The no-ball run, grab points, physique, etc. are all full value, the bounce has reached 19, and the header also has 17 Cheng Hai, in the process of this competition, he took the lead, resisted the pull and push of the opponent's two defenders, successfully grabbed the first point, jumped high, and shook his head to attack the goal, and pushed the ball to the goal.

Despite grabbing the first point, Cheng Hai's header was interfered with this time, resulting in the ball not flying to the angle he expected.

But even so, Cheng Hai's corner kick this time was not small in power and was very fast, which caught goalkeeper Tim Wiese off guard, and finally watched the ball go into the net.

Cheng Hai scored again after coming off the bench.

Before the addition of speed, headers, and bounces, Cheng Hai's goals at the club were basically one goal per game on average, and the chances of scoring a brace were rare, and sometimes he couldn't even score a goal after coming on as a substitute.

But with the addition of speed and headers, Cheng Hai scored easier, not to mention a hat-trick in the first UEFA Cup game back at the club, and a brace in the second.

And in this Bundesliga match with Werder Bremen at home, Cheng Hai was also not satisfied with a goal.

Although Werder Bremen had basically surrendered in the face of a 3-0 scoreline, Cheng Hai was not satisfied.

Not only because he can gain more experience by scoring goals, but also because one more goal will give him back to the top of the Bundesliga's top scorer charts.

If he can win the Bundesliga Golden Boot in the first season of his career, it will undoubtedly be very wonderful for Cheng Hai.

Although he doesn't care much about money, Cheng Hai doesn't mind more.

His performance is a little better, he has more honors, and he can also get a higher brand endorsement price, which is undoubtedly a very good thing.

So, in Cheng Hai's tireless pursuit, in the 90th minute, after entering injury time, Cheng Hai finally scored another goal.

This time it is completely the embodiment of Cheng Hai's personal skills.

Faced with the defense of the figures in the penalty area, Cheng Hai had to withdraw from the penalty area to take the initiative to take the ball, and then used his full value dribbling, Matthews feints, and extremely fast speed to break through two Bremen players in a row into the penalty area.

Although there was no single knife formed, and there were defenders in the penalty area to intercept, Cheng Hai did not break through all of them, but simply dodged the gap of the shot through two smashes, and then immediately got up to shoot.

Although the shooting was a bit hasty, Cheng Hai's full-value shooting skills still did not disappoint.

The ball went through the box and into the bottom left corner.

The goalkeeper was affected by the people in the penalty area, blocked his vision, reacted a step slower to Cheng Hai's shot, and finally couldn't pounce, and could only watch the ball go into the net.

Cheng Hai scored twice again to help Dortmund win another 4-0 victory.

Compared with before the Asian Games, Cheng Hai is becoming more and more terrifying.

Cheng Hai's goal naturally killed the game completely, and Werder Bremen, as a traditional powerhouse in the Bundesliga, could not afford to have any determination to resist.

The remaining two minutes are garbage time.

After three minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Borussia Dortmund won another big win at home to continue to lead the table.
