Chapter 83: Double Goals
Cheng Hai rushed to the bottom line with the ball on the side, and Van Bitten stuck the inside line, wary of Cheng Hai's inward cut.
Tymoshchuk was a few meters behind Van Bitten, following Cheng Hai and Van Bitten's running position and rushing into the ribs of the penalty area.
Barrios was behind Tymoshchuk and was also on the verge of breaking into the box from the middle.
Van Bitten has always been afraid that Cheng Hai will cut into the penalty area to shoot, but Cheng Hai has no intention of cutting inside at all, and takes the ball to the bottom line at full speed.
In the case that Cheng Hai is not ready to pass, his speed is much faster than Van Bitten.
Therefore, soon, Cheng Hai used his speed to run to the level of the small penalty area line and ran out of the gap, and Van Bitten was slightly two steps behind.
Seeing that Cheng Hai was still rushing to the bottom line, Van Bitten realized that Cheng Hai may not have wanted to cut inside to shoot, but wanted to cross.
When Cheng Hai was about to kick in a cross, Van Bitten threw his entire body out in an attempt to block the gun's eye.
However, he was still a step slower.
By the time he flew into place, the ball from Cheng Hai's kick-to-foot cross had already flown in front of him and fell towards the middle of Bayern Munich's penalty area.
Before starting his feet, Cheng Hai observed the running positions of Barrios, Timoshchuk, and Gustavo.
Therefore, the landing point of Cheng Hai's cross was carefully selected, on the small penalty area line in front of the penalty spot, just for Barrios to head the ball, and Tymoshchuk in front of him could not top it, and Gustavo behind him could not catch up.
If it were an ordinary player, even if he thought so, he couldn't do it in the quick bottoming process and Van Bitten's pressing.
However, Cheng Hai is not an ordinary player, his two skills of crosses and long passes in the air are full value, and under the interaction of each other, the ball passed by him even in the process of going down at high speed is high, landing point, and speed.
The ball crossed a parabola in the air, and Timoshchuk, who had just jumped from the front point to clear the ball with a header, flew overhead.
Tymoshchuk failed to clear the siege and rose to the top.
After the ball passed Tymoshchuk, it began to descend at high speed, just enough for Barrios, who rushed into the box in the middle, to get on the ball after a jump.
Gustavo, who was two or three meters behind Barrios, was too weak to interfere with Barrios.
Under the gaze of countless fans at the scene and in front of the TV, Barrios jumped high at the penalty spot, soared into the air, and when he leaped to the line of the small penalty area, he hit the ball crossed by Cheng Hai.
As a central striker with a higher status than Lewandowski, Barrios is Dortmund's second-highest scorer this season.
With no interference, his header not only went inside the frame, but also at an angle.
At such a close distance, it is difficult for a goalkeeper to save even without an angle, let alone an angle?
Bayern Munich's goalkeeper Bout just waved his hand subconsciously with the afterimage of the ball flying over, but it had no effect.
The ball flew a metre or two to his left and into the Bayern Munich goal.
Barrios scored twice to help Dortmund turn the score 3-2.
And Cheng Hai, in just 5 minutes after coming on as a substitute, staged a pass and a shot, shocking the audience.
Barrios, who scored the goal, excitedly rushed to Cheng Hai and hugged him, and other teammates also gathered around to celebrate.
The Bayern Munich fans in the stands were silent, leaving only the excited applause and cheers of thousands of Dortmund away fans.
On the sidelines, Van Gaal was also stunned.
He has seen a lot of talented players, but it is the first time he has seen a genius to the level of Cheng Hai.
How nice it would be if Cheng Hai was under his command!
"Why didn't Bayern Munich's scouts go to China to dig up such a good player?" Van Gaal's mind was full of questions.
However, the current situation does not allow him to think too much on the sidelines.
This is the Allianz Arena in Munich, and today's game is the home of Bayern Munich.
After losing 3-0 to Borussia Dortmund in the first half of the season, Van Gaal had to win today's game.
Otherwise, there will be more pressure from the club's management and fan base.
However, the players on the field are almost already Bayern's strongest force, and substitutions are impossible, so Van Gaal can only tell everyone to strengthen their running and actively defend on the one hand, and on the other hand, they must actively attack to strive for goals, equalizers, and even reverse the score.
After the game restarted, Bayern Munich, who had realized Cheng Hai's new tactics, defended more cautiously, and Cheng Hai's success rate of wanting to dribble into the box from outside the penalty area or cross from the side dropped a lot.
Although many of Cheng Hai's skills are full value, these Bayern players are not weak in defense.
For example, Van Bitten, Tymoshchuk, Lahm, Breno, Gustavo, Schweinsteiger, etc., are all defensive giants in the midfield.
If Cheng Hai's offensive ability is 20, then the comprehensive defensive ability of these people must be about 17 or 18.
Even if you can't prevent Cheng Hai every time, you can block Cheng Hai by yourself if you play extraordinarily once in a while.
Once someone helps, two or three people will guard and scramble together, and Cheng Hai will also have to lose the ball, or be forced to pass the ball out.
Therefore, when the opponent pays attention to the defense of Cheng Hai retreating to take the ball and break through, there are two backs who take turns to defend him, and it is not so easy for Cheng Hai to take the ball and break through.
The side cross is limited by Barrios's ability to grab points and compete for the top, sometimes even if Cheng Hai passes the ball in place, Barrios will be defended by the opposing defender so that he can't grab the ball and miss the opportunity.
That left Dortmund without scoring again for the next ten minutes.
Fortunately, Cheng Hai's tactical change made Bayern Munich's defensive pressure increase sharply, although Cheng Hai did not score or assist again, but it also greatly involved the strength of Bayern's midfield, such as the two fullbacks and the back Schweinsteiger can no longer boldly press assists.
As a result, Bayern's attacking strength in the front court was insufficient, so Bayern also failed to score.
When the clock ticked by, after 75 minutes, the Bayern players had to get up in a hurry.
After all, they are the ones who are behind the scoreline now, and if they continue to maintain the score of 2-3 until the end, they will lose again, and they have been beaten twice by Borussia Dortmund in the league this season.
Therefore, on the left side of Cheng Hai's difficult to get a bottom cross, the corresponding right-back Lahm began to insert assists from time to time.
However, Cheng Hai will not only cross from the right side, he will also break through with the ball on the left side, cut inside like Arjen Robben and shoot with his right foot.
When Lahm assists up front and fails to get back into place, the left corridor he guards becomes a racetrack for Cheng Hai to gallop.
In the 79th minute, such a scene appeared.
Lahm took the ball himself up and broke through Gotze's defence and crossed the bottom, but Klose didn't get the first header on goal, but Hummels pushed the ball out of the box and into the feet of Shaheen.
After Shahin adjusted the ball and dodged Schweinsteiger's scramble, he sent a low cross to the left side of the midfield, where Cheng Hai just ran there, and Bayern's right-back Lahm was still in place.
Although Lahm started running back after completing the bottom cross, where was the time?
When Rahm was still four or five meters away from Cheng Hai, Cheng Hai received a pass from Shahin, and then took the ball and soared on the side.
Cheng Hai's dribbling skills and speed made him not slow down much even if he ran with the ball, and Ram, who ran with five balls, was thrown farther and farther away by him.
And the central defender in the middle, although Timoshchuk even if the defense is blocked on the way of Cheng Hai's inner cut, can he defend against Cheng Hai alone?
Sometimes you can, but this time Tymoshchuk failed to do it.
When Cheng Hai lay down the ball and hit the corner of the big penalty area, Tymoshchuk, who had no way to retreat, could only stop and stop in front of Cheng Hai.
Timoshchuk half-bowed, guarding against Cheng Hai's breakthrough.
However, even with psychological preparation, in the face of Cheng Hai's skillful feints, he still couldn't withstand them.
Cheng Hai's two consecutive Matthews feints, a bit like stepping on a bicycle, made Timoshchuk lose his ground, lose his center of gravity and fall to the ground, Cheng Hai naturally rushed into the penalty area with the ball from his side.
Although Van Bitten dropped Barrios and rushed diagonally to tackle the ball, Cheng Hai kicked the ball out before he did.
The ball flew past Van Bitten's flying toe and towards the bottom left corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Bout is actually guarding the near corner, but the goal is so big, how does he know if Cheng Hai plays the near corner or the far corner? Hit the top or bottom corners?
Therefore, he could not make a prediction in advance, and could only make a save based on his intuition after Cheng Hai made a shot.
As a result, he thought Cheng Hai would hit the far corner.
When he deflected his center of gravity towards the far corner and was about to pounce on the far end, he found that the ball was flying towards the near corner.
By the time he tried to pounce back, it was too late.
The ball flew past his leg and into the post and into the goal.
In the 79th minute, Cheng Hai took advantage of the gap left by Lahm's assist to form a counterattack, and successfully hit the goal after breaking through Tymoshchuk, extending Dortmund's lead to 4-2.
Amid the frantic celebrations of the Borussia Dortmund players and fans, the Bayern Munich players and fans were in the dust.
At this point in time, two goals behind.
Not to mention winning, Bayern Munich will have a hard time equalising.
Therefore, after Cheng Hai and his teammates finished celebrating and the game restarted, Bayern Munich, which was forced to a dead end, could only press the attack vigorously, and even the midfielders and fullbacks were put into the attack.
They're going to take a gamble.
However, the desperate thing is that Bayern are now out of luck in the first half, and the more they try to score, the more they can't score.
In the 84th minute, Robben made another inward shot after a wide break, but in the end, the ball was just a fraction of a second, grazing the post and flying off the bottom line.
In the 86th minute, Ribery broke through the side and crossed the middle, Altentop inserted a violent long-range shot in the back row, which was originally within the range of the goal frame, and the angle was also very good, and goalkeeper Langrak was likely to not be able to save.
As a result, when Altentop shot, Klose in the box blocked the path of the ball.
Even as Klose immediately crouched down to dodge, the ball hit his head and bounced off the crossbar.
Bayern always miss out on goals.
While Bayern Munich kept wasting opportunities, Dortmund was not satisfied with the 4-2 score, but looked for opportunities to counterattack while facing Bayern Munich's indiscriminate bombardment.
Although Bayern's backline was desperate and disrupted a couple of Dortmund counter-attacks, in the 89th minute, their defence finally failed.
This time it was also Bayern's counterattack after the ball was broken, Cheng Hai took advantage of the opportunity to temporarily not return to the defense after Breno attacked on the right side, and received a pass from his teammates on the side and killed all the way to the bottom line.
Van Bitten, who was forced to defend Cheng Hai on the side, failed to keep up with Cheng Hai again, and Cheng Hai seized the opportunity to get up with his feet, and crossed the ball to the area between the penalty spot and the line of the big penalty area.
Barrios, who rushed in front, attracted the defense of Timoshchuk and Gustavo, but Cheng Hai's cross was not passed to Barrios, but to Shahin inserted in the back row.
When Barrios brought Timoshchuk and Gustavo to the six-yard line, Nuri Shaheen, who rushed in from outside the box, made an extremely stretched leap to the top left corner of the net with an unguarded leap.
Goalkeeper Bout was on the right side of the middle and could do nothing about Nuri Shahin's header heading straight into the top left corner, only to watch as the ball flew into the net.
In the 89th minute, Cheng Hai assisted his teammates to score again, extending Dortmund's lead to 5-2 and completely killing the game.
When Shahin's leap to the top of Cheng Hai's cross was the moment he scored the goal, many non-Munich commentators in the commentary booth shouted excitedly.
What they shouted excitedly was not Shahin's goal, but Cheng Hai's assist.
“Tooooooooooooooor……”
"The ball is in!"
"In the 89th minute, Nuri Shaheen headed the ball from Cheng Hai's low cross into the Bayern Munich goal!"
"Dortmund lead Bayern Munich by three goals 5-2 away, the game has ended early, Bayern Munich is unlikely to turn the tables."
"The biggest hero of this game is undoubtedly Cheng Hai!"
"Cheng Hai not only scored two goals himself, but also assisted Barrios and Nuri Shaheen to score a goal with a low cross, and scored a brace in both goals and assists."
"Yes, you heard it right, Cheng Hai staged a double hat trick of goals and assists in this world-renowned German national derby!"
"Cheng Hai directly created Dortmund's four goals and led Dortmund to beat Bayern Munich 5-2 away!"
"Unbeatable performance, dominating the game!"
"Cheng Hai fulfilled his pre-match words, he did capture the Allianz Arena in Munich!"
"The goal assist double brace and the 5-2 score will be a haze for Bayern Munich for a long time!"
When Cheng Hai scored or assisted before, there were still many Bayern fans in the stands who were booing, expressing their disgust and disgust for Cheng Hai.
However, when Cheng Hai assisted Shahin's goal again this time to make it 5-2, and he also scored a double hat-trick of goals and assists, the Bayern fans in the stands barely booed anymore.
Amid the frantic applause and cheers of thousands of Dortmund away fans, Bayern players and fans looked at Cheng Hai, who was celebrating with his teammates, and fell silent for a while.
Suddenly, there was sporadic applause in the camp of Bayern Munich fans.
It is not those Chinese fans who are mixed in the camp of Bayern fans, but real Bayern Munich fans.
Maybe it was completely conquered by Cheng Hai's performance, or maybe it was to express their dissatisfaction with the home team Bayern Munich and coach Louis van Gaal, these Bayern Munich fans actually applauded Dortmund when their team was defeated by their opponents and fell behind 2-5.
Gradually, the applause became more and more, and even the shouts of "Van Gaal, class" began to appear.
Although not many people shouted like this, and it was not echoed by the majority of people, it is clear that this is a very bad sign.
Van Gaal on the sidelines looked extremely bad.
The game has ended early, the league title is no longer a thought, and Van Gaal must focus on the German Cup and Champions League.
Moreover, although the league cannot win the championship, it cannot be taken lightly.
Because with Bayern's current ranking and points, if you don't pay attention, you won't even be able to get a place in the Champions League qualifying round next season after the league ends.
With Bayern Munich's Bundesliga hegemony, it would undoubtedly be a great shame if they could not even participate in the Champions League, which represents the highest technical and tactical level in Europe.
If the German Cup and Champions League are not satisfactory, and the league does not qualify for the Champions League, then Van Gaal's dismissal is certain, there is no doubt about it.
Even if he qualifies for the German Cup and the Champions League, he can't do well in the Champions League this season, and with Bayern's giants, Van Gaal's position is also very dangerous.
However, where will the people of Dortmund care about Van Gaal's job and future.
After scoring the fifth goal and leading by three goals 5-2, it was a complete victory.
As a result, Borussia Dortmund's players celebrated for a long time, not necessarily without the intention of delaying time.
But no one from Bayern Munich's players came forward to complain, because they also knew that it was useless to protest after being three goals behind in this time.
Don't say three or four minutes, just give them thirty or forty minutes, and don't try to chase it back after three goals, the chances are too small.
In the end, it was the referee who saw that the Dortmund players had been celebrating for too long, and took the initiative to intervene, ending the celebrations of Cheng Hai and Shahin and others, and allowing the game to restart.
But Bayern don't have much fighting spirit to attack.
Four minutes into stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.
In the 24th round of the German national derby of the season, Dortmund defeated the Allianz Arena 5-2 away, plus the 3-0 home victory over Bayern in the 7th round, the Hornets successfully defeated Bayern in the two-legged national derby this season, and achieved the most glorious season victory in the history of the German national derby.
