Chapter 146: Ibrahimovic's provocation
At the end of the 90 minutes, Borussia Dortmund beat Kiel Golsting, a team in the northern regional league of the fourth division of German football, with a score of 5-0 away from home, to advance to the semi-finals of the 2011/2012 German Cup, which also put an end to Kielgoldtin's dark horse journey.
After advancing to the semi-finals, Dortmund is only one semi-final and one final away from the German Cup championship that Cheng Hai has never touched.
However, in such a cup match with a huge disparity of strength, Dortmund's 5-0 victory is definitely just a normal performance, so there is no surprise to everyone about the result.
The media and fans only care about one thing, that is, what kind of performance Cheng Hai, who has been flying long distances continuously, can show in this game.
Cheng Hai did not disappoint.
Despite his poor form, he was named Man of the Match after the race. Because he scored two goals and provided an assist, he remains Dortmund's best player in the team.
Such a performance made many media call "perverted" after the game.
Some media commented:
"In four days, three games, an award ceremony, and a continuous long-distance flight to Germany, Qatar, London, and Germany, Cheng Hai still scored a brace in the German Cup last night, and also had an assist, and was elected the best player on the spot."
"I have long known that Cheng Hai has a method that can quickly fall asleep and quickly enter deep sleep, but I didn't expect this skill to be so miraculous that it would allow Cheng Hai to exert such perverted strength."
"Although we can clearly see in the game that Cheng Hai was affected by a long flight, his form was not good, and there were some low-level mistakes, but two goals and an assist still surprised us."
"Cheng Hai's degree of perversion is beyond our cognition and imagination. Perhaps, it was the regret of losing the FIFA Golden Ball Award that made Cheng Hai hold his breath and be full of fighting spirit, and he wanted to give FIFA and those judges who did not vote for him a resounding slap in the face this year. ”
As commentators said, because of the 0.5% voting gap and the FIFA Golden Ball Award, coupled with the racist discrimination and nationality discrimination of some judges that broke out in "French Football" later, Cheng Hai held his breath and wanted to slap FIFA and those judges hard this year.
It is this kind of spirit that allowed Cheng Hai to complete the miracle of four days, four places, three games, and a party, scoring a total of ten goals.
After playing this German Cup game and returning to the training base, Klopp gave Cheng Hai a two-day vacation alone, allowing him to take a good rest, and did not return to the base to participate in daily training until February 10.
After just one day of training, Dortmund ushered in the 21st round of the Bundesliga and Bayer Leverkusen.
Dortmund, who are fighting on the third line, has indeed seen a very dense schedule after entering the second half of the season.
Especially for players like Cheng Hai who still have the task of playing the national team, it is a terrifying devil's schedule.
However, after two days of resting peacefully, Cheng Hai has actually returned to his normal state.
So, in the 21st round of the Bundesliga that started at 16:30 on the afternoon of February 11, more than 80,000 fans at the Westfaren Stadium witnessed a Cheng Hai who had returned to his peak condition.
In the cheering of more than 80,000 fans at home, Cheng Hai, who was in good shape, kicked his head and feet in the 73 minutes of the game time to give the fans a wonderful performance of the senior joy.
Four goals, one against offside, a long-distance run past three people in a row, a header from a corner, and a violent long-range shot from outside the box gave fans at the scene and in front of the TV a glimpse of what a real goal machine is.
Even a traditional Bundesliga powerhouse like Leverkusen was poured 4 goals by Cheng Hai, which shows how strong Cheng Hai's attack power and fighting spirit are.
In the end, the game ended with a score of 5-0, and Bayer Leverkusen, a traditional powerhouse of the Bundesliga, was bloodied by the Hornets led by Cheng Hai at the Westfalen Stadium.
After completing this Bundesliga four-year celebration, Cheng Hai's goals in the 2011/2012 Bundesliga season have reached a terrifying 48 goals, which has surpassed Cheng Hai's 45 goals in a single season of the Bundesliga last season, setting a new record.
It's a pity that this record is a broken own record, so there is no reward.
But to the outside world, this is still a very horrific record that deserves to be written about.
Because Cheng Haihai completed 45 goals in 26 games last season, with an average goal rate of 1.73 per game, which is terrifying enough.
This season, Cheng Hai has scored 48 Bundesliga goals, but it only took 18 games, and the average goal rate per game has reached an even more terrifying 2.67 per game.
This is the Bundesliga, not an Asian game of abuse, and Cheng Hai can achieve such a high goal rate, which really has to be shocking.
In layman's terms, as long as Cheng Hai participates in the game, the opponent is already 2.67 goals behind before the game starts.
It's just desperate.
Of course, this is definitely a great thing for the media and the fans of Dortmund and Cheng Hai.
It can be said that because of Cheng Hai's existence, there have been a lot of new fans in world football, who are attracted by Cheng Hai's goal frenzy.
Especially in China, football is a sport that is discriminated against in China, and many people disdain to watch football.
But after Cheng Hai appeared, the situation has been greatly improved, it is estimated that Cheng Hai alone has attracted hundreds of millions of new fans, and countless pseudo fans have become real fans.
In Asia, Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania, countless teenagers regard Cheng Hai as the ultimate idol, wearing his No. 9 shirt in Dortmund, imitating his various breakthroughs and shooting movements, and worshipping him.
In addition to the reaction of the media and fans, Cheng Hai's performance in the face of Bayer Leverkusen's big four and 48 goals to set a new single-season goal record in the Bundesliga also put a lot of pressure on Dortmund's opponent AC Milan in the next game.
After entering February, the 2011/2012 Champions League round of 16 knockout round officially began, and Dortmund met the opponent in the 1/8 finals was the Serie A giants AC Milan.
To date, AC Milan have won seven UEFA Champions Leagues, five UEFA Super Cups, two UEFA Cup Winners' Cups and four Club World Cups. Domestically, they have won 18 Serie A titles, 2 Serie B titles, 5 Coppa Italia titles and 6 Italian Super Cups.
AC Milan's number of Champions League titles is second only to Real Madrid, ranking second in the list of Champions League titles in Europe, much better than Dortmund, a pseudo-giant who has only won the Champions League once.
It can be said that AC Milan is one of the most brilliant and successful super giants in European football, and it is on the same level as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United.
In terms of substance, AC Milan is many times higher than Borussia Dortmund.
Regardless of the background, AC Milan were the Serie A champions last season and are still at the top of the Serie A table so far this season.
Their team of Ibrahimovic, Robinho, Pato, Inzaghi, Zambrotta, Nesta, Gattuso, Ambrosini, Seedorf, Boateng, Van Bommel and so on, are all superstars who have been famous for many years, and they are more luxurious and powerful than Dortmund's squad.
It is not an exaggeration to say that AC Milan's bench is more luxurious than Borussia Dortmund's starting line-up.
If there is anyone who can steadily press the other party, it is only Cheng Hai.
It is precisely because of the existence of Cheng Hai and the big four in the past game against Bayer Leverkusen that AC Milan is very jealous.
Otherwise, with Dortmund's heritage and strength, there is no need to put it in the eyes of AC Milan.
Because of Cheng Hai's relationship, Milan coach Allegri did not make any bold remarks at the press conference on the first day of the game, but humbly said:
"Cheng Hai is the best striker in the world today, and although tomorrow's game is our home stadium, we still need to be careful to defend Cheng Hai. If you can't prevent Cheng Hai, Milan will definitely lose. ”
Apparently, though, Ibrahimovic doesn't think so.
As a big man who currently ranks first in the Serie A scorer list, Ibrahimovic has long been dissatisfied with Cheng Hai's rapid rise and achievements.
The arrogant Ibrahimovic, in his mind, is only the alien Ronaldo.
As some Chinese fans made up, Ibrahimovic called Ronaldo up at a gathering of the world's top strikers, and then said to the rest of the people seated: "It's all rubbish!" ”
On the one hand, it vividly depicts Ibrahimovic's unruly and arrogant character, and on the other hand, it also affirms Ibrahimovic's talent and strength.
No one disputes that Ibrahimovic is the world's top striker.
Of course, just one of the top strikers, not the number one striker in the world. This is exactly what Ibrahimovic is not convinced.
What he wants is to be the first in the world.
When he staged a horrific record of 152 goals a year and was named the world's No. 1 striker, Ibrahimovic was quite unconvinced.
In his opinion, Cheng Hai's goals were all scored in the Bundesliga, the League Cup, and Asian games.
If Cheng Hai is put in the same Serie A environment as him, Cheng Hai will have to take a break, and the number of goals will definitely not be as good as him.
As a world-famous defensive country, the Serie A team's reinforced concrete chain defense is world-famous.
Serie A teams are also known for their defense and tactics.
Cheng Hai can score so many goals, just because he is not in Serie A.
Now, AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund meet in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, and Cheng Hai can finally get a feel for the Serie A-level reinforced concrete defense.
And he, Ibu, will also defeat Cheng Hai in a face-to-face duel.
Therefore, Ibrahimovic said provocatively in a separate interview with reporters: "Welcome Cheng Hai to the San Siro Stadium, the great Milan will let him know what real defense is." And I, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, will also show him what a real striker is! ”
