Chapter 130: Shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards
Iraq has never been able to score again, but on the side of the Chinese national team, there is Cheng Hai's full value shooting, and the goal rate is much higher than Iraq.
Although every goal has a part of the luck component, Cheng Hai's luck component is much lower than that of other football players.
In the 58th minute, the Huaguo team won a corner kick, and Cheng Hai successfully pressed the opponent to grab the first point with his superhuman no-ball running, grabbing points, physique, bounce, header and other skills in the penalty area, shook his head to attack the goal, and put the ball into the Iraqi goal.
Cheng Hai scored a brace to give the Chinese team a 3-1 lead.
The physical drain of Asian competitions is not as strong as that of European competitions, and with the continuous help of Cheng Hai's fitness coach, his fitness has improved many times compared to the beginning of last season.
Therefore, Cheng Hai was not replaced in this game and played until the end of the game.
In the 88th minute before the end of the game, Cheng Hai seized another opportunity to counterattack and dribble past three people to score in the Iraqi penalty area.
In the end, Cheng Hai scored a hat trick to lead the Chinese team to defeat Iraq 4-1 at home, and finally won the second victory in the group stage of the top 20 of the world preliminaries.
After three rounds of group stage, more than halfway through the schedule, Jordan won all three games and ranked first with 9 points, China won two games and lost one with 6 points, Iraq won one and lost three points and finished third, and Singapore was at the bottom with 0 points.
Because of the huge goal difference advantage accumulated in the game against Singapore, the probability of the Chinese team advancing is still very high under the premise of having two places to advance to the top 10.
And if they can beat Jordan in the second leg, they may even overtake their opponents and win the group.
That is, of course, next month.
After playing the World Preliminaries, Cheng Hai immediately returned to Germany, because only three days later, it was the next Bundesliga match.
As a result, it is frustrating that the main defender Schmelzer, who also played in the national team game, was injured along with Piszczek and will miss a league game.
Jurgen Klopp can only lead Dortmund, who are missing two main defenders, to the away game.
At 20:30 on the evening of October 14, the 9th round of the Bundesliga Dortmund away against Werder Bremen officially started at the Weser Stadium in Bremen.
As a traditional powerhouse in the Bundesliga, Werder Bremen's strength is undoubted, and they have played well this season, ranking third in the standings behind Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.
Therefore, on their home turf, Werder Bremen played a good fighting power.
Coupled with the lack of two main defenders in Dortmund, there were some holes in the defence, and Werder Bremen scored a goal in the 24th minute of the first half and the 80th minute after Cheng Hai went off in the second half.
However, despite the leaky defence and the conceded two goals, Dortmund scored four goals in attack.
Cheng Hai scored a brace again and assisted Robert Lewandowski to score a goal to lead the team to a 4-2 away victory.
After this game, Cheng Hai's annual total goals have reached a terrifying 105.
Every game, Cheng Hai is breaking his annual record for total goals, and no one knows how high he will refresh this record.
One can only guess.
But it is foreseeable that in a short period of time, no one will ever come close to Cheng Hai's annual total goal record.
Immediately after the away league match against Werder Bremen, Borussia Dortmund flew to Greece for the third round of the Champions League group stage against Olympiacos.
Before the race, Cheng Hai's weight increased by 1kg again, reaching 80kg.
With a height of 180cm and a weight of 80kg, not to mention Asia, Cheng Hai's body size is already considered strong among European players, stronger than Mario Goetze, Shinji Kagawa and others in the Dortmund team.
Coupled with the full value of the physique, Cheng Hai can already compete with the 192cm tall and 91kg weight of the central defender Hummels without falling behind.
This can basically allow Cheng Hai to face the opponent's central defender in the future World Cup match as a single striker, even if he goes deep into the enemy's penalty area to face the opponent's central defender, Cheng Hai will not suffer in physical confrontation.
The rest depends on the technical performance.
However, although Cheng Hai gained weight before the game and improved his confrontation ability again, he was unable to bring Dortmund an away victory.
The team-mates made consecutive long-distance flights to play the national team, away to Werder Bremen, and then to the away Champions League group stage, which led to Dortmund not winning this game.
In the Champions League group stage against Olympiacos on October 19, the exhausted Dortmund was finally held to a 3-3 draw by Olympiacos.
Even if Cheng Hai scored a hat-trick, it didn't give Dortmund a victory.
Worthy of being evaluated by the media as the existence of the group of death, Olympiacos played a very strong offensive and defensive ability in this game, and Dortmund's plan to take all three points failed.
Fortunately, this does not affect Dortmund's ranking.
After three rounds of group stage, Dortmund is the first in the group with 7 points from two wins and one draw, Arsenal is second with 6 points with two wins and one loss, Marseille is third with 3 points with one win and two losses, and Olympiacos is at the bottom of the group with 1 point with one draw and two losses.
The draw upset Dortmund up and down.
Especially Cheng Hai, who failed to win after scoring a hat trick, was even more breathless. The other teammates also felt that they had failed Cheng Hai's hat trick, and they were very unhappy and wanted to find a place to vent.
As a result, three days later, Dortmund sat at the Westfaren Stadium to host Cologne in the 10th round of the Bundesliga, and Dortmund played a shocking tragedy.
8-0!
Borussia Dortmund beat Cologne at home to an 8-0!
This is the first time this season that the entire European top league and continental competitions, including the Champions League and Europa League, have had such a big score, which is definitely a tragedy.
At the end of the game, the Cologne players left the field in a daze, as if they were a little stunned.
The Dortmund fans at home were in a frenzy. Including Cheng Hai, he also seemed very excited.
In this game, Cheng Hai played until the 75th minute before being replaced.
In those 75 minutes, Cheng Hai scored a total of five goals with an overhead kick and scored his first solo five yuan for Borussia Dortmund.
Although Cheng Hai also had a record of five goals in a single game, or even six goals in a single game, it was all scored in the national team competition.
Five goals in a single game in a professional club game, Cheng Hai This is the first time.
Therefore, after the game, Cheng Hai also made a special trip to take the game ball and take it home for collection.
At the same time, in this game, Cheng Hai also completed the club's 100 goals, he scored a total of 101 goals in all official matches of Dortmund club, and the game time spent was 58 games, with an average goal rate of 1.74 per game.
Therefore, even aside from the national team's abusive Asian games, Cheng Hai's goal rate in professional matches at club is still among the top in the world.
Those who say that Cheng Hai's annual 100-goal record is made by the national team's abuse of vegetables, the reason is simply untenable.
Three days later, Cheng Hai also ushered in his first game of the German Cup of the season and the second round of the German Cup this season.
He was suspended in the first round and was not able to participate.
Although the experience of the German Cup is lower than that of the Bundesliga because of the participation of some low-level teams, Cheng Hai still has to go all out.
If you can get the final champion, the top scorer, the best player, plus the random skills of multiple champions and multiple rewards, the gain is still not small.
Therefore, in the second round of the German Cup between Borussia Dortmund and German second division team Dresden on October 25, Cheng Hai went one step further than the previous game, putting on a six-goal performance in a single game, and also had an assist.
In the end, Borussia Dortmund beat Dresden 9-1 at home to advance to the third round of the German Cup.
Although the opponent is a Bundesliga team, the gold content is not high, but it does not prevent this from being a professional goal.
Therefore, these six goals are also counted as goals scored in the professional match of Cheng Hai.
This brought Cheng Hai's total goals in 2011 to a terrifying 119.
Some strikers who are not in good shape have not scored a total of 19 goals in a year, not even a fraction of Cheng Hai's, which shows how scary Cheng Hai's annual 119 goals are.
Every game and every goal scored by Cheng Hai, the media exclaimed after the game: The defenders on the earth can't stop Cheng Hai from scoring goals.
Such a god-level performance made Cheng Hai's call for the Golden Globe Award higher and higher.
As for the European Golden Boy Award, it has become the most unsuspenseful year since the establishment of the Golden Boy Award, and no one has discussed it.
Unless the Golden Boy Award is not awarded to Cheng Hai in the end, it may still cause heated discussions and crusades from everyone.
Generally speaking, the European Golden Boy Award is known as the youth version of the European Golden Ball Award, and the player who wins the European Golden Boy Award will most likely grow into a superstar who can win the European Golden Ball Award.
But this year is different, maybe Cheng Hai doesn't have to spend time to grow, he may win the FIFA Golden Ball Award in the same year he won the European Golden Boy Award, becoming the first player to win both the European Golden Boy Award and the Golden Ball Award.
Just the next day, October 26, FIFA announced the list of 50 people selected in the first phase of the 2011 FIFA Golden Ball Awards, and Cheng Hai was impressively listed.
The FIFA Ballon d'Or was formed in 2010 by the merger of the European Ballon d'Or hosted by France Football and the World Footballer of the Year hosted by FIFA, which makes the FIFA Ballon d'Or the world's only, most authoritative and most influential professional football player of the year award.
However, the first FIFA Ballon d'Or award to Messi in 2010 caused quite a bit of controversy.
Because in 2010, Xavi and Iniesta led the Spanish national team to win the World Cup, and Sneijder led Inter Milan to achieve the treble.
As a result, these people failed to win the Ballon d'Or, which was awarded to Messi, who has better personal data and is more famous.
So the controversy is very large.
