Chapter 219: Six Crowns of 2012

After Cheng Hai's successful anti-offside and a single goal, the Corinthians players felt a lot of pressure.

Not only the pressure on the score, but also the off-ball running, awareness, speed, dribbling, shooting skills, etc. shown by Cheng Hai in this anti-offside attack, all made the pressure on the Corinthians players double.

Some players thought that Cheng Hai was just like this, but now it seems so ridiculous.

However, it was too late to realize this at this point, they had already conceded the goal and the score was behind.

After the game restarted, Corinthians could only strengthen their attack while strengthening Cheng Hai's defense to prevent Cheng Hai from scoring again.

If Cheng Hai is allowed to score again, then Corinthians will basically lose.

As the South American champions, Corinthians' players are not well-known in the world, but they still have the strength to create a lot of threat to Dortmund in the next games.

However, their finishing shots were always a little less accurate, and they failed to score on a number of shots.

On the other hand, Dortmund's side, while Corinthians stepped up their attack, they naturally got a lot of counter-attacking opportunities.

Although Corinthians have stepped up their marking of Cheng Hai, Dortmund have other players and they have had a number of counter-attacking opportunities.

Even if their marksmanship is not as good as Cheng Hai's, their luck is better than Corinthians.

In the 38th minute, Dortmund played a quick counterattack.

It was supposed to be a counterattack, and there were few people in the Corinthians backfield.

With Cheng Hai attracting two defenders to mark closely, the rest of Dortmund had a huge gap in counter-attacking.

In the end, the counterattack ended with Lewandowski's cross assisting Reuss to score with a low shot.

Borussia Dortmund took a huge lead with a 2-0 lead and the Club World Cup title looked close in sight.

As a result, both the players on the field and the fans in the stands celebrated wildly.

As for the Corinthians players, the fans looked very depressed one by one.

With two goals down in a final that involved a title race, the frustration of the Corinthians players is understandable.

Of course, it is precisely because this is related to the championship race that even if they know that the chances of a comeback are not great, the Corinthians players will not give up.

The game has to go on, they have to try.

However, after the resumption of the game, the Dortmund defence did not give Corinthians a chance to score.

One minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and the two sides went into the break with a 2-0 scoreline, with Dortmund temporarily leading by two goals.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again, with no substitutions on either side.

With only 45 minutes left in the half, and with two goals still trailing, Corinthians naturally attacked more ferociously, hoping to use ferocious attacks to break through the Dortmund goal and stage a miracle of comeback.

However, when they go on a rampage, there are inevitably more gaps and opportunities at the back.

Although Dortmund doesn't catch it every time, it only takes one to catch it and it can bring fatal damage to Corinthians.

In the 56th minute of the second half, Corinthians striker Marcio Emerson took the ball and wanted to go it alone, using a bicycle stunt to try to break through Subotic, but was poked out by a precise scramble by Subotic.

Subotic's shot landed at the feet of Kyle, who smashed the ball past the opposing player's counter-attack and immediately launched a quick counter-attack.

This counterattack by Cheng Hai also attracted interception and marking by the opponent's two defenders, but like the second goal, Dortmund's other attacking players did not send the ball to Cheng Hai's feet.

Several other players sent the ball into the box with three passes and two downs in the case of more and less, and Gundogan assisted Mario Gotze to complete the shot.

At this time, both the fans in the stands and the players on the field turned their eyes to Gotze, who shot the goal, and to goalkeeper Cassio.

As for Cheng Hai, who was still strictly guarded by Corinthians just now, because he didn't touch the ball throughout the whole process, he has been ignored by everyone.

In the eyes of everyone, Mario Gotze's shot from inside the penalty area was powerful and fast, but the angle was not awkward.

In addition, goalkeeper Cassio was prepared, and judged the way of the ball and saved it in time the moment after Gotze shot.

Eventually, Cassio made a pounce and touched the ball with his fingers, changing the course of its flight.

However, because Gotze's shot was too powerful, Cassio's save did not save the ball off the line, but only slightly changed the line and hit the post and bounced back into the small penalty area.

Just when Corinthians fans wanted to breathe a sigh of relief and defender Alejandro wanted to clear the ball and kick it out of the sideline, Cheng Hai, who was still outside the penalty area just now, rushed into the small penalty area like a ghost, and a flying shovel shot grabbed Alessandro ahead of him, shoveling the ball into the empty goal formed after Cassio fell to the ground.

“Goooooooooooooooooooooooooal……”

"The ball is in!"

"Follow-up shot from Cheng Hai!"

“3-0!”

Cheng Hai scored twice to give Dortmund a 3-0 lead in the 56th minute of the second half.

"When Gundogan assisted Mario Gotze's shot, Corinthians' players set their sights on Gotze and goalkeeper Cassio and relaxed their marking of Cheng Hai."

As a result, Cheng Hai used his world-class off-ball running and point-grabbing ability to rush into the penalty area to grab this rebound ball and shoot the ball into the net.

"Dortmund has a three-goal lead, and this championship is basically stable!"

"We are about to witness the birth of the second team in the history of world football to win the six crowns of the year!"

In the stands, in front of the TV, all the Dortmund fans were already crazy, all screaming, screaming, and waving fists in celebration.

As the commentator said, Cheng Hai's goal basically announced the loss of suspense in this game.

With three goals trailing, Corinthians will not be able to score three goals in a row unless they are possessed by Liverpool on the night of the Miracle in Istanbul.

But even so, Dortmund, who have Cheng Hai, cannot become AC Milan at the same time.

Corinthians want to tie the score of three goals, and there is only a theoretical possibility left.

Everyone knows this, and Corinthians' players and fans are no exception.

The Corinthians fans in the stands shook their heads with bitter expressions on their faces. The Corinthians on the field looked at the backs of Cheng Hai and his teammates hugging together to celebrate, and their eyes were distracted.

These talented South American players finally got a first-hand look at the world's number one superstar and goal machine in a face-to-face match.

Of course, even if they know that a comeback is unlikely, it is impossible for the Corinthians players to surrender and stop playing.

The game has to go on, and you have to keep attacking and trying to score goals.

Even if they can't win the game, they will have to show their good side in this world-renowned Club World Cup final in order to get the chance to move to Europe.

In South America, even in a giant club like Corinthians, the value, fame, income, etc., cannot be compared with the teams of the five major leagues.

So, while the fact that they couldn't win the Club World Cup final was a bit frustrating for the Corinthians players, they didn't sink completely.

When the game restarted, they didn't even do much to defend, leaving only two centre-backs to defend at the back.

The two wing-backs, midfielders, etc., all rushed to the front court to participate in the attack.

It's almost an undefensible binge.

Anyway, it's already three goals behind, and there may be a chance to attack aggressively, and if you shrink the defense, you won't have a chance at all, and you'll die.

As a result, Corinthians were out of luck.

Under their continuous scrambling and fierce attack, in the 68th minute, forward Danilo switched to the side and crossed the bottom, but the ball was a little close to the goal, and Weidenfeller attacked and hit the ball out.

However, Weidenfeller's shot did not go far and instead hit the ball just right in front of former Bayern Munich player and Corinthians centre-forward Guerreiro.

Guerrero's reflexive header headed the ball into the left side of the goal.

Before Weidenfeller, who had just hit the ball and landed on the ground, Guerrero fired the ball into the back of the net.

Corinthians finally got on the scoresheet to pull a point back and the aggregate score became 1-3, with Corinthians just two goals behind.

At this point, with stoppage time added, there are about 25 minutes left until the end of the 90 minutes of regular time.

25 minutes, two goals, it's not completely impossible! It's better than three goals behind and looks a little bit more hopeful.

Therefore, Guerrero, who scored the goal, did not rush to celebrate in ecstasy, but rushed into the goal, copied the ball, ran to the center line with the ball, and simply high-fived a few teammates along the way to celebrate, and did not celebrate.

He was going to put the ball back in the centre circle and let Dortmund hurry to kick off.

Only the Corinthians fans in the stands celebrated in ecstasy.

After all, it was a goal in the final of the Club World Cup, and even if it looked like the team was going to lose, a goal scored by the six-time champion Borussia Dortmund was something to celebrate.

After the game restarted, the Corinthians players who pulled back a goal were demoralized, and almost all of them pressed on and fought fiercely.

As soon as you get the ball, you attack immediately.

But Klopp also made immediate adjustments, not only replacing Gotze and Reuss with the more defensive Owomoela and Grosskloytz, but also letting Cheng Hai withdraw to the back position and form a double back with Sebastian Kyle to protect the penalty area.

Cheng Hai's full physical fitness, strong body, keen ability to grab points, as well as various abilities such as headers, defensive positions, and steals, can also play a very big role in defense.

Corinthians are very difficult to break through the double back wall formed by Cheng Hai and Kyle.

Suddenly, the players on the field flipped on their backs, the players on both sides collided and fouled constantly, and the referee issued three yellow cards in a row within ten minutes, which slightly suppressed the exciting conflict between the players on both sides.

As the clock ticked and the end of the regular season shortened, the Corinthians became more and more anxious, and finally even two centre-backs crossed the halfway line to attack, and goalkeeper Cassio almost occupied the outside of the box, as if eager to rush up to join the attack.

In the 88th minute, seeing that the game was about to go into stoppage time, Corinthians striker Emerson's shot from outside the box was blocked by Hummels.

The ball landed near Cheng Hai, and he immediately rushed up to fight for the top.

At the same time, Corinthians' midfielder Ralph also rushed over, and the two jumped at the same time, slamming into each other in the air.

However, Cheng Hai's physique is stronger than Ralph and his bounce is better than him, so it was Cheng Hai who succeeded in the final battle.

He headed the ball towards Gundogan near the centre circle.

However, when he landed, Ralph fell directly to the ground, and Cheng Hai was also hit by Ralph and his ribs hurt.

But instead of going down, he fell to the ground and turned and ran into the space near the halfway line, gesturing for Gundogan to pass the ball as he went.

Although a Corinthians player signaled that Cheng Hai had fouled and injured Ralph, the referee ignored it and signaled for the game to continue.

Gundogan, who didn't hear the whistle, naturally ignored it even more, and after receiving the ball, he brushed past a Corinthian central defender who had stepped up, and then passed the ball diagonally to the front of Cheng Hai's run.

Corinthians goalkeeper Cassio, who had previously stood outside the penalty area, had already begun to retreat and was ready to retreat into the penalty area to guard the goal.

However, Cheng Hai did not give him a chance.

He didn't run long with the ball, but after looking up at Cassio's position, he faced the ball from Gundogan's diagonal pass, and without stopping the ball to adjust, he directly shot the ball with a big foot and kicked the ball towards Corinthians' goal.

Alejandro, a full-back who was frantically chasing back, gave Cheng Hai a flying tackle from the flank to stop Cheng Hai's shot.

However, his flying shovel was late.

By the time he tackled Cheng Hai down, Cheng Hai had already completed his shot, and the ball had already taken off into the air and flew towards the Corinthians' goal.

Goalkeeper Cassio, who had just retreated to the line of the penalty area, was shocked and frantically returned to the goal line while looking back at the path of the incoming ball.

However, Cheng Hai, with the blessing of full value shooting power and shooting skills, hit a perfect midfield lob shot, and the speed was also faster than Cassio's retreat.

Like a precision-guided missile, the ball flew halfway across the pitch, cut a parabola in the air, and then fell against the crossbar into the Corinthians before Cassio could make a save.

In the 88th minute of the second half, Cheng Haichao scored a hat trick in the long-distance midfielder to help Dortmund lock the score at 4-1.

There is no suspense, no miracle, and it is impossible for Corinthians to turn the tables around.

Borussia Dortmund are destined to win the 2012 Club World Cup, completing their six-time crown.

All the Dortmund fans in the stands and in front of the TV were already having fun!

In fact, the commentators on the commentary bench had already stood up when Cheng Hai was shooting in the middle of the field.

"Gundogan passed the ball to Cheng Hai!"

"Shot !!"

"Cheng Hai received a pass from Gundogan on the middle line and shot directly with his feet!"

"Cassio is desperately trying to get back on the defending!"

"It's too late!"

“Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal……”

"The ball went in !!"

"The ball went in !!"

"The ball went in, it went in, it went ......"

"Cheng Hai scored a super long-range lob of about 50 meters and scored a hat-trick to help Dortmund take a 4-1 lead!"

"It's a stunner, Dortmund's title is secure."

"Borussia Dortmund are on the verge of beating Corinthians to claim their sixth title of 2012 and complete their six-crown title of the year!"

"Cheng Hai's hat-trick is also the first hat-trick in the history of the Club World Cup final!"

"Cheng Hai became the first player to score a hat-trick in the Club World Cup final!"

"His hat-trick is about to help Borussia Dortmund achieve the annual six-crown title!"

"Dortmund's move to renew the contract with Cheng Hai with the world's highest salary has received the greatest reward at this time!"

"At that time, some people felt that Cheng Hai's salary was almost twice that of Ronaldo, Messi and others, which was too high."

"But after today, I'm sure no one will feel that way!"

"A hat-trick in the Club World Cup, a six-time winner of the year!"

"The value of Cheng Hai far exceeds his salary!"

"Cheng Hai has become a record crusher and a champion harvester. As long as there is Cheng Hai, there is almost no reason for the champion to fall. ”

"The only ones who can prevent Cheng Hai from winning the championship may be the Confederations Cup and the World Cup."

"Cheng Hai is in hand, I have the champion! Those clubs who want to win the Champions League and achieve a breakthrough may really have to think about how to grab Cheng Hai. For the championship, no matter how big the price, you have to grab it! ”

In the frantic shouts of the fans, Cheng Hai, who scored the goal, was also excited, rushed directly to the sidelines, and when he was close to Klopp, he flew and pounced on Klopp and knocked him to the ground.

Then the two were overwhelmed by the swarming teammates and staff.

The two of them were pressed to the bottom of the stack of Arhats for half a minute before they were let go and pulled up.

Cheng Hai is okay, his full physique makes him almost unharmed. But Klopp covered his ass and bared his teeth.

Obviously, when he was knocked down by Cheng Hai and sat on the ground just now, Klopp, who landed on the ground, was a little "hurt".

Of course, these are just vignettes.

Compared with the prospect of a six-time crown of the year, Klopp's "injury" is nothing at all.

If this injury can change the six-time champion, a lot of managers in the world are willing to suffer this injury.

……

This time, Cheng Hai celebrated with his teammates and coaches for almost a minute, and the Corinthians players did not protest to the referee.

At this time, they were three goals behind, and anyone knew that they were absolutely powerless, and Corinthians themselves gave up completely.

In the end, the referee saw that Dortmund's celebration was too long, and took the initiative to intervene, ending the celebration of Cheng Hai and others, and letting Corinthians open the middle circle.

After the restart of the game, Corinthians completely abandoned the defense and launched the final general attack.

It's not for the reversal, to win, it's just for the last stubbornness, to attack a little longer, in case a goal is scored? It doesn't seem to be so miserable.

However, it has been proven that to be able to win the six crowns, Dortmund not only has a sharp attack led by Cheng Hai, but also has a first-class defense in the world.

The referee also took care of Corinthians, giving four minutes of stoppage time, but they still failed to score.

After four minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game as Borussia Dortmund beat Corinthians 4-1 in the 2012 Club World Cup final thanks to a hat-trick from Cheng Hai and a goal from Reuss to win the 2012 Club World Cup.

So far, Dortmund have won all the titles they can win in 2012, including the Bundesliga, German Cup, Champions League, German Super Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and Club World Cup.

Borussia Dortmund became only the second team in the history of world football to complete the annual six crowns after Barcelona in 2009, and qualified for the Cosmos team along with Barcelona.

However, most of Barcelona's cosmos team relies on the team, especially the cooperation of Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and others, Messi is very important, but not important enough to override the entire team.

Dortmund, on the other hand, is almost entirely led by Cheng Hai alone to get to where it is today. Cheng Hai's goals alone far exceed the total number of goals scored by other teammates.

The club's efficiency of averaging more than 2 goals per game is Cheng Hai's answer, and it is also his proof of his highest salary as the world's No. 1.

Dortmund's move to keep Cheng Hai with the world's highest salary paid off at this time, and the entire Yokohama International Arena became a sea of joy for Dortmund.

The Dortmund fans and Cheng Hai's fans waved the Dortmund flag or the flag of China, jumping and jumping excitedly in the stands, screaming, cheering, and carnivaling.

Klopp, Blackmer, Reuss, Götze and other coaches, players and staff who couldn't wait on the sidelines also rushed into the field, hugging, high-fived, and celebrating with Cheng Hai and other players on the field.

The Corinthians players were a little frustrated by the loss, but there was no shame in losing to the new six-time champions, Borussia Dortmund.

What's more, in the face of Dortmund led by Cheng Hai, everyone was mentally prepared to lose before the game began.

Therefore, the Corinthians players did not look dejected and could not accept the fate of the loss, but also applauded Dortmund's six-time victory, and finally went to their very small number of away fans to interact with the fans and thank them for their support.

Finally, the Corinthians players also took the initiative to shake hands with the Dortmund players and congratulate them on the achievement of the six crowns of the year, and the field presented a peaceful scene.

After more than 20 minutes of interactive celebration, the podium was set up, and in the singing of "We Are the Champions", Dortmund lifted the 2012 FIFA Club World Cup championship trophy, achieving the great feat of six crowns in 2012.
