Chapter 35: Scoring twice for the first time in his career

Because he had not experienced professional youth training before, Cheng Hai's physical growth was a bit slow, but in short, it was growing.

Coupled with Cheng Hai's recovery ability in dream training, he can practice to the maximum extent every day.

Therefore, after this period of physical training, Cheng Hai has been able to play more than 20 minutes of professional games.

Therefore, after Cheng Hai warmed up for a while, in the 66th minute, Klopp replaced him.

Many neutral TV stations and CCTV-5 commentators in China became excited:

"Cheng Hai is on the field!"

"Cheng Hai, one of Dort's double stars, came off the bench again."

"In Cheng Hai's first seven professional games, Cheng Hai scored six goals as a substitute but has become Dortmund's top scorer with amazing efficiency."

"With Mario Gotze off the pitch with a tackle, let's see if Cheng Hai, one of Dortmund stars, can score again and lead Borussia Dortmund to victory in the first leg of the Ruhr derby this season."

In the boos of Schalke 04 fans, Cheng Hai replaced Zidan, who was inactive, and went on the field to partner with Barrios as a double striker.

Schalke 04 is naturally thunderous against Cheng Hai, one of the two stars of Dortmund who has risen like a rocket and the top scorer in the Dortmund team.

Seeing that Cheng Hai finally came off the bench, Schalke 04 sent a central defender to keep an eye on him, and others also paid great attention to Cheng Hai's defense, so be sure not to let Cheng Hai get a chance to shoot.

Because Cheng Hai's archery skills are indeed too terrifying.

However, Cheng Hai's full-value skills are too much.

The full value of running without the ball, grabbing points, coupled with the physique of 20 and the balance of 19, made Cheng Hai feel like a fish in water in the big penalty area.

Because of the gradual rise in height and weight, with the blessing of a full 20-year-old physique, even the tall defenders of Schalke 04 have a hard time defending.

In the 69th minute, Cheng Hai had just come on the field for a short time before he created a chance in the penalty area.

It's not that Schalke 04 has no one to defend him, but the Schalke 04 players who played against Cheng Hai for the first time in person underestimated Cheng Hai's off-ball running, point grabbing, physique, balance, etc.

Just looking at Cheng Hai's size and size, no one expected Cheng Hai to be a tank-type player.

But Dortmund's teammates know!

As a result, Schalke 04 caught Cheng Hai and his teammates, who had just come on the field, off guard.

Cheng Hai received a pass from Shinji Kagawa with his back to the goal and resisted the opponent's central defender in the penalty area, and then passed it horizontally to Barrios, and then suddenly started again, ready to receive Barrios's return pass shot.

This is a rehearsed routine, Barrios understood it, sent the ball a little in front of Cheng Hai, Cheng Hai shook off the defender behind him, completed the half-turn, and then prepared to shoot.

In fact, at this time, on the way of Cheng Hai's shot, there were already two players blocking the ball, and Cheng Hai's chances of scoring were not great.

What's more, goalkeeper Neuer is not a vegetarian either, and his reaction will be very fast.

As a result, Plestam, who had tackled Götze and received a yellow card before, may have made meritorious contributions, or he really wanted to abolish the Dort Twins, and shoveled directly from the side.

But his tackle was a line slower than Cheng Hai's.

So, Cheng Hai successfully shot the ball, but he was tackled to the ground by Prestan.

It's okay to say if Cheng Hai's shot went in, but the problem is that Cheng Hai's shot didn't go in and was subconsciously blocked by another defender.

As a result, it became a foul on Plestam's tackle in the penalty area, and Cheng Hai was shoveled to the ground.

Dortmund fans were in an uproar and scolded one after another.

And the fans of Schalke 04 probably thought that Plestan had really shoveled all the Dort doubles off the field and became heroes, and they were still applauding Plestam!

As a result, Cheng Hai, who was shoveled down on the field, stood up and did not look injured.

The shovel man Prestein lay on the ground, clutching his chest and screaming in pain.

It turned out that Cheng Hai's full physique made him not injured in this shovel, but subconsciously pushed his hand down the moment he was shoveled, but it just pressed on Prestan's ribs, causing him to be injured.

It's not just a matter of injury.

Despite the sympathy of Prestan's injury, the referee gave him a yellow card and awarded a penalty when he was carried down.

The point is, this is already the second yellow card for Prestan.

As a result, two yellows turned into one red, and Plestan was directly sent out. The head coach of Schalke 04, who was going to replace Prestan with a new player, suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and it was ugly.

The Schalke 04 players on the field and the fans in the stands also reacted, protesting and scolding, but they still could not change the manager's decision.

Cheng Hai personally created a penalty.

Even the penalty created by others will be punished by Cheng Hai, and this penalty created by himself will not be an exception.

In the boos of Schalke 04 fans, Cheng Hai calmly sent the ball into the upper right corner of the goal.

Although Neuer judged the right direction, there was nothing he could do in the face of the penalty that flew straight into the corner, and he could only watch as the ball flew diagonally above his palm and into the net.

The moment the ball flew into the net, the commentator of CCTV-5 shouted:

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in, it's in, it's in!"

"Cheng Hai has scored again!"

"Cheng Hai once again scored for Dortmund on the bench and helped Dortmund regain a 2-1 lead over Schalke 04."

"If Dortmund can win this Ruhr derby today, then Cheng Hai's credit is undoubtedly huge!"

"Cheng Hai's Bundesliga goals have reached 4, temporarily rising to the top of the Bundesliga scorer list."

"I think it was something that no one expected before the start of the season."

"Probably no one would have thought that our 18-year-old Chinese player could occupy the top spot in the Bundesliga scorer list after four games without a single start."

The guest next to him also interjected with a smile:

"Yes! Cheng Hai's development is really unexpected! ”

"When Cheng Hai won the championship, the best player, and the top scorer in the Grand Football Federation National Finals, and was favored by Dortmund scouts and invited to tryouts, many of our media and fans also said a lot of strange things, or doubted the authenticity of the scouts."

"As a result, it seems that people deserve to be professional! A Chinese college student amateur player, they can all see the potential. ”

"Cheng Hai's speed of progress and the role he played at Dortmund did not detriish the contract and the No. 9 shirt that Dortmund gave him."

"It can even be said that Dortmund has picked up a big bargain."

"With Cheng Hai's superb shooting skills alone, no matter which team in the five major leagues, it is more than enough to play as a substitute."

In the singing and harmony of the narrator and the guests, in the courtyard of Cheng Songbao's house, twenty or thirty relatives, friends and neighbors complimented Cheng Hai's parents, congratulating them on Cheng Hai's life and their old age.

Cheng Songquan and his wife coped modestly, but in fact, their hearts were already happy.

can be broadcast live on CCTV, and has been praised by commentators and guests, not to mention villages and towns, even the county is the first time.

Some time ago, the leaders of the Propaganda Department of the County Party Committee and the Bureau of Culture, Sports and Broadcasting came to contact them, saying that they were grateful to Cheng Hai for his contribution to expanding the popularity of his hometown, and then invited Cheng Songquan and his wife to participate in the county's National Day celebration party.

This is an unexpected scene, Cheng Songquan and his wife instinctively refused.

Unexpectedly, the county leaders insisted that Qingshan would not relax, and insisted that the two of them must go, but in the end they were persuaded that they had no choice but to agree.

Later, I found out that the county was thinking that Cheng Hai would become a star, become developed, make money, and come back to invest in his hometown.

If you want Cheng Hai to go home often and invest in your hometown, you must naturally treat Cheng Hai's parents well. So, there is such a play.

As the saying goes, "the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit", and it is not wrong at all.

Knowing the reason, Cheng Songquan discussed it with his son on the phone, and then stopped refusing.

Anyway, this is their hometown, even if Cheng Hai settles down outside in the future, he must return here often.

What's more, there are so many relatives and friends here, and Cheng Songquan and his wife are reluctant to leave, if they can retire in their hometown, it must be excellent.

Therefore, it is only natural to maintain a good relationship with the local government.

At the scene, Cheng Hai, who steadily scored a penalty kick and helped Dortmund take a 2-1 lead, was naturally hugged and high-fived by his teammates in celebration, and more than 10,000 Dortmund fans who came with the team in the stands also excitedly shouted Cheng Hai's name and bowed to him.

In fact, if it weren't for Cheng Hai's short qualifications, as well as the problems of skin color and nationality, with Cheng Hai's performance so far this season, his importance in the hearts of many fans would have even surpassed Mario Gotze.

It's just that between Cheng Hai's identity issues, everyone binds him and Ge Ting together and calls them Dott Double Stars together, so that both of them can be taken care of.

Of course, Cheng Hai doesn't care too much about these issues.

Everything is the reason why he is not strong enough.

Like Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, it doesn't matter if you have buckteeth, your body is fat, or you look ugly.

As long as the ball skills are good and can win the championship for the team, these are secondary.

Therefore, Cheng Hai will only care about scoring goals for the team.

Today's game was a bit early, and the first goal came early, with more than 20 minutes to go.

Therefore, Cheng Hai was a little greedy.

In the previous games, he basically only maintained the efficiency of scoring one goal per game, which is quite different from training matches and pre-season friendlies.

But that's because the intensity of professional matches, the opponent's defense is more attentive, the action is bigger, etc., so he gets a lot less chance to shoot than in training matches and friendlies.

Moreover, he does not play much time in each game, only ten or twenty minutes.

But today, he had 20 minutes left to play even though he had already scored a goal.

If he had been at the previous rate, he would have been able to score in those 20 minutes.

In doing so, he will score a brace for the first time since he officially entered the professional competition.

Not only was it a historic brace, but it also allowed for more experience and was even named the best player by the system.

Add to that the winnings.

That's a lot of experience.

Therefore, after the game restarted, Cheng Hai was not complacent because he scored a goal or the team was ahead, but continued to run aggressively, looking for opportunities to shoot.

Cheng Hai, who scored a goal, naturally made the players of Schalke 04 feel a great threat, and they were more careful to defend than before.

If Schalke 04 is leading the score now, then their formation retreats and multiple people mark the defense, which may be more difficult for Cheng Hai.

But the problem is that now the score is behind Schalke 04, and they are only one goal behind, and they are still playing at home.

Therefore, Schalke 04 will certainly not be willing to end the game with a score of 1-2 and they must attack.

The bigger problem, however, is that they have just been punished by one person, and they are now ten men.

The strength itself is not as good as Dortmund, and now the score is behind, and it is forced to press the attack, and there is one less person to fight.

In such a situation, how to closely guard Cheng Hai, who runs without the ball and grabs the full value of points?

After successfully preventing several counterattacks by Cheng Hai and his teammates, in the 86th minute, Schalke 04's defense was finally lost again.

Not only did they not equalise, they conceded again.

And it was Cheng Hai, who came off the bench in the 66th minute and was frightened, who scored the goal.

Although Schalke 04 has paid great attention to the marking of Cheng Hai, they have one less person to fight, and this time it was originally Schalke 04's attack, and the sudden counterattack after Dortmund broke the ball, they didn't react at once.

So, Cheng Hai successfully countered offside, received a long pass from his backcourt teammate Sebastian Kyle, and then went to the meeting alone.

Even if Cheng Hai's speed was slow, a defender chased back and caught up with Cheng Hai.

But Cheng Hai's full physique still allowed him to successfully block the opponent's counter-robbery, and then resist the opponent's pulling and pushing, bring the ball into the penalty area, and face the attacking goalkeeper, and a precise volley into the far corner.

The ball slipped under Neuer's armpit and then slid into the back of the net against the post.

The angle of his trick once again proves the essence of Cheng Hai's archery.

In the 86th minute of the second half, Cheng Hai scored another goal to complete the brace and help Dortmund take a 3-1 lead.

This is the first time since Cheng Hai's career debut that he has scored twice in an official competition.

Coupled with the hot atmosphere of the Ruhr derby, Cheng Hai himself was very excited, waving his arms and rushing to the stands where he scolded and booed him when he warmed up before, opened his arms and looked up at the dead Schalke 04 fans in the stands, proudly stretched out two fingers, signaling that he had scored two goals.

This way of celebrating with great bravado was naturally scolded by Schalke 04 fans.

Schalke 04 fans, who were originally sad about losing the goal, suddenly shouted at Cheng Hai in unison, and some people threw lighters, water bottles, etc. on the field.

Shinji Kagawa, Barrios and other teammates hurriedly rushed over and pulled Cheng Hai away.

It's not that they're afraid of the fans in the stands, but they're afraid that Cheng Hai will confront the fans again and make any radical moves, and after the game, they will be identified as insulting the fans and banned from the game.

There's no need for it!

In addition to the different reactions of the players and fans on the spot, the commentators from German TV were still very calm when Cheng Hai scored the first penalty, but after seeing Cheng Hai score twice this time, he instantly shouted excitedly:

“Torrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr……”

"A brace!"

"Cheng Hai scored a brace!"

"Oh my God! Not only did Cheng Hai come off the bench to score, but he also scored twice in the Ruhr derby to give Borussia Dortmund a 3-1 lead. ”

"Nothing short of genius! Eight games, eight goals, no one has ever had such an impressive first season in their career! ”

"Cheng Hai's talent is simply envious!"

"Dortmund has picked up a treasure!"

The guest on the commentary table agreed, claiming that Cheng Hai was one of the most talented footballers he had ever seen.

In front of the TV, both Dortmund fans and other neutral fans agreed with this statement.

Cheng Hai's performance is indeed a genius.

In fact, the Germans' performance was quite restrained, after all, Cheng Hai is not a player from their country.

But in China, it's quite crazy.

Whether it was the commentators in the studio, the guests, or the fans in front of the TV, they all celebrated and cheered wildly.

This kind of performance is simply something that everyone has never thought of before. Unexpectedly, Cheng Hai actually realized it in a derby battle in the Ruhr area.

Cheng Hai scored a brace in the Ruhr derby, first helping his team take a 2-1 lead and then extending the score to 3-1 to seal the win.

Such a performance is simply decisive.

All Chinese fans are very proud and proud, and countless people have become fans of Cheng Hai since then.

At the scene, Cheng Hai, who was pulled away by his teammates, also received a warning from the referee, warning him that he was not allowed to provoke fans again next time, deliberately intensifying the conflict.

If Cheng Hai does something that intensifies the conflict and affects the safety of the stadium, he will directly punish Cheng Hai with a red card.

Cheng Hai's goal of counterattacking the fans has been achieved, so naturally he will no longer deliberately go against the referee, and accepts the referee's warnings and criticisms with kindness, claiming that he will no longer stimulate the opposing fans.

Of course, there is no need.

With a 3-1 two-goal lead and little time left, Schalke 04 was powerless.

It's really powerless.

With two goals down, one man to play with, and Klopp making substitutions to stall for time, Schalke 04 was unable to organise a threatening attack for the remaining minutes.

Instead, it was a counter-attack from the wing by Borussia Dortmund that almost got through the net again with a header from Barrios.

After three minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and with Cheng Hai's brace and Kagawa's goal, Dortmund won 3-1 away in the Ruhr derby in the first leg of the season, earning three points of their own and sending their rivals a wave of four consecutive defeats.

For Hornet fans, it doesn't get any better ending than this.
