Chapter 227: Koreans Entertain Themselves

On February 3, 2013, in the 20th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund challenged the pharmaceutical company Bayer Leverkusen away.

Although Bayer Leverkusen is also a traditional powerhouse in the Bundesliga, facing Dortmund, who has now won the annual six crowns and promoted to the super invincible universe team, and Cheng Hai, who won the FIFA Golden Ball Award at the age of 20 and is in high spirits, Bayer Leverkusen still can't withstand Dortmund's attack even at his home stadium.

After 90 minutes, the score was 1-4 on the big screen, with Bayer Leverkusen losing to Borussia Dortmund by three goals.

Cheng Hai scored two goals and assists in this game, helping Dortmund to a big away victory.

On February 9, in the 21st round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund hosted Hamburg.

Before the game, the German media hyped the match into an East Asian derby. Because Hamburg has a South Korean star who is the same age as Cheng Hai and is only 20 years old.

But the Chinese media didn't mention it, and Son Xingmin didn't have enough to watch in front of Cheng Hai, who scored 183 goals in 2012 and won the FIFA Golden Ball Award.

Cheng Hai is targeting world-class superstars such as Messi and Ronaldo, and there is no opponent in Asia, so naturally there is no East Asian derby.

Only the arrogant South Koreans forcibly elevated Son Heung-min to a position similar to Cheng Hai, hyping up an East Asian derby.

However, it was just their Koreans' own amusement, and neither Cheng Hai nor Dortmund FC took this game to heart.

The game was abandoned by Jurgen Klopp.

Although this is Dortmund's home stadium, because the next game in four days is the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals, Dortmund will go to Ukraine to challenge Shakhtar Donetsk away.

A strong lead in the league and the ambition to defend the Champions League title make Dortmund very cautious in the face of this Champions League 1/8 final away to Shakhtar Donetsk.

Therefore, in this match at home to Hamburg in the 21st round, Dortmund made a large rotation.

Moreover, the previous friendly matches and successive rounds of the Bundesliga after the winter break may have also caused the players to have a certain sense of fatigue, and this game is not very fake.

In the end, the score was 4-4 on the big screen at the Westfalen Stadium and Dortmund suffered their second draw of the season.

Perhaps it was indeed hyped by the domestic media East Asian derby, Son Heung-min was in very good form in this game, played extraordinarily, scored a brace, and helped Hamburg draw with the mighty Dortmund at the Westfalen Stadium.

It's a pity that compared with Sun Xingmin's brace, Cheng Hai's senior happiness is obviously more amazing, in the post-game media reports from various countries, Sun Xingmin's brace was just mentioned in passing, and everyone focused on Cheng Hai's senior happiness.

Only in South Korea, the media credited Hamburg's 4-4 draw with Dortmund away to Son Xingmin, and the report only understated Cheng Hai's senior happiness, as if Cheng Hai's senior happiness was not as good as Son Xingmin's brace.

Of course, these are all Koreans' own amusement, and neither Cheng Hai nor Dortmund will pay attention to it.

They have more important things to do, which is to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Shakhtar Donetsk.
