Chapter 180: Three Great Victories

Indeed, as reported by these media reports, Cheng Hai staged a goal assist in the first official game of the front midfield, and made the opponent not score a goal through a large-scale sweep in the midfield, which made Cheng Hai even more popular with many giants.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, giants or local tyrants with capital to open more than 100 million transfer fees, have strengthened their determination to lead the sea, and the offer to Dortmund is getting higher and higher, and some clubs have quoted more than 150 million euros in transfer fees.

On the side of Dortmund FC, the negotiations with Baker on Cheng Hai's contract renewal have not yet yielded results.

If the final contract renewal negotiations fail, Cheng Hai's liquidated damages are still only 100 million euros, Dortmund does not let Cheng Hai go, and he can only get 100 million euros at most next summer, which will lose tens of millions compared to the transfer fees offered by those clubs this summer.

Therefore, Dortmund had to let Cheng Hai go.

Naturally, this is unwilling.

Dortmund naturally wants not to let Cheng Hai go, but also to increase the liquidated damages, so that Cheng Hai can continue to fight for more championships for Dortmund next season, and even create a Dortmund dynasty that successfully defended the Champions League for the first time after the restructuring and won the Bundesliga three times in a row, and the transfer fee income will be more than 100 million euros when transferring next summer.

During the negotiation process with Baker, there were little disagreements on the revenue share of image endorsements, the share of sales revenue of jersey products, etc., and basically reached an agreement.

However, the most critical amount of liquidated damages and Cheng Hai's annual salary have never been consistent, and the gap is huge.

In this World Preliminary Match between Huaguo and Lebanon, Cheng Hai historically staged the miracle of the first goal and assist in professional football, and successfully improved the defensive quality of the team, shaved Lebanon's head, and once again increased the importance of Cheng Hai in everyone's minds.

Real Madrid, who was led by Cheng Hai to Dortmund's two-legged double defeat in the Champions League semifinals, has publicly shouted that it will give Cheng Hai an annual salary of 20 million euros, which has put huge pressure on Dortmund club.

You must know that the annual salary they gave Cheng Hai before was only 5 million euros.

This time it will be quadrupled to more than 20 million, becoming the world's first annual salary at the same level as Eto'o, and it will also have to be taxed, and most of the 60 million Champions League bonuses that have been won for a season have been gone, which is really unacceptable.

What's more, they are not a club of local tyrants who have Russian or Middle Eastern oil bosses to pay for.

The Bundesliga's fiscal policy has always been the pursuit of health, and even Ribery, the highest-paid team in the Bundesliga overlord Bayern and the highest-paid in the Bundesliga, only had an annual salary of 8 million euros.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who created the world's No. 1 transfer fee, has an annual salary of 12 million euros at Real Madrid at this time, which is already the highest salary in the five major leagues except Eto'o.

And the annual salary that Baker asked for Cheng Hai was higher than the figure of 20 million shouted by Real Madrid.

The same goes for liquidated damages, Dortmund naturally wants to set it to 300 million, but Baker can't agree, everyone has been fighting a tug-of-war.

But according to Cheng Hai's god-like performance after suddenly switching to a forward midfielder against Lebanon, I'm afraid Dortmund won't last long.

Cheng Hai's personal strength is too fierce, and with Cheng Hai's existence, it is possible for Dortmund to complete the annual six crowns, and even the possibility of winning six crowns in the season, defending the Champions League, and establishing the Dortmund dynasty.

Of course, a game can be said to be accidental, so Dortmund can hold on a little bit.

But as long as a few more games like this prove that Cheng Hai's performance in this game is not a flash in the pan, then Dortmund will only have to surrender, unless their top management does not want this result that will go down in history.

The six crowns of the year, the six crowns of the season, the first team to defend the title after the Champions League restructuring, the Dortmund dynasty, etc., are fascinating to think about.

In addition to the prospect that Cheng Hai may have if they let Cheng Hai go, and Cheng Hai has achieved good results at other clubs, Dortmund fans will not let them go.

Therefore, although Beck's conditions for Cheng Hai are very outrageous, Dortmund is still reluctant to close the door to negotiations, sell Cheng Hai, and continue to work hard to grind with Beck.

Of course, Cheng Hai won't care so much, anyway, his conditions are revealed to Baker, and Baker will negotiate with the club.

It is of course better to stay at Dortmund to continue to win the six crowns of the year and the six crowns of the season, but if Dortmund really can't give enough sincere conditions, then it is not impossible for him to transfer and leave.

Anyway, there is no shortage of next home.

Of course, it is better to stay, there are familiar coaches, players, fans, and the foundation of the annual treble, and win two more Super Cups and one Club World Cup, adding up to only four games, can achieve the annual six crowns, Cheng Hai really does not want to give up.

But negotiation is Beck's business, he just needs to play well and play better so that Dortmund has to agree to Beck's terms.

Five days after the 10-0 victory over Lebanon, at 19:30 on the evening of June 8, 2012, in the second round of the top 10 match, the Chinese team sat at home and faced the sworn enemy South Korea.

The grievances between the national football team and South Korea are simply too numerous to write.

In addition to the national Olympic team, the last time Cheng Hai met South Korea in the senior national team was in the semifinals of the Asian Cup at the beginning of last year, when the Chinese team only won 2-1, which was very thrilling and made the Koreans quite unconvinced.

Therefore, this time, Cheng Hai wants to let the South Koreans know what a crushing victory is, not a small one-goal victory.

After the start of the game, the Chinese team naturally launched a fierce attack on the South Korean team under the organization of Cheng Hai.

But the Koreans are not weak, in fact, although the Chinese team has Cheng Hai, the world's number one superstar, the South Korean team still put on an offensive posture and started an offensive battle with the Chinese team.

The South Koreans just want to use their abundant physical strength to break down the defense of the Chinese team, and then surpass Cheng Hai in the number of goals.

As a result, their calculations were wrong.

There may really be some Chinese players whose physical fitness is not as good as that of Koreans, but Cheng Hai's full physical fitness and his running speed, defensive position, and ability to grab points and steal enough to cover the entire midfield are not comparable to any Korean player.

Not to mention the comparison, it can't keep up with the horse.

Perhaps the world's giants such as Germany, Spain, Brazil, and the Netherlands can rely on this move to defeat China, but South Korea obviously does not have that strength.

As a result, everyone saw in the game that although the Chinese team and South Korea fought against each other, South Korea's attack was always forced to lose the ball by Cheng Hai and his teammates in the midfield, and it was difficult to even make it difficult for the Chinese team to use the penalty area.

Although they are much better than Lebanon, Lebanon is difficult to score even within 30 meters of the goal, South Korea just struggle to find the penalty area.

But the result is all the same.

Even though he got a small number of opportunities to shoot from his feet near the penalty area, the South Koreans' shooting skills were not as good as Cheng Hai's, and this kind of long-range shot did not score a single goal.

On the side of the Chinese team, whether it was the positional attack organized by Cheng Hai or the rapid counterattack after the ball was broken in the backfield, the South Korean team was completely unable to parry.

Cheng Hai's full-value vision allows him to almost overlook the whole field from God's perspective, where there are loopholes, Cheng Hai is completely clear at a glance, and his full-value passing skills also allow him to send the ball into the gap and assist his teammates to score.

As for Cheng Hai himself, his god-like breakthrough and shooting skills make it as easy for him to score goals as chopping melons and vegetables.

Although the South Korean team was much stronger than Lebanon, it was finally led by Cheng Hai to achieve a crushing victory.

6-0!

This is the final score.

Although South Korea's counter-attack was very good, allowing Cheng Hai to focus most of his energy on defense, Cheng Hai eventually scored a hat-trick and also had an assist to lead the Chinese team to a 6-0 victory.

It was a lot more brilliant than the last 2-1 victory, it was a crushing victory, it was a carnage.

Therefore, after the game, the South Koreans left the stadium in frustration, leaving only Cheng Hai and his teammates to continue to interact with the fans in the stadium to celebrate.

After the race, according to statistics, in order to compete with the Koreans physically, Cheng Hai ran a distance of 17.4km in this race, setting a new world record.

This big win, as well as the opponent's zero goals and Cheng Hai's world record for distance traveled, continue to prove Cheng Hai's value at both ends of the pitch and the important role he plays in the midfield position.

Four days later, on June 12, in the third round of the top 10 match, the Chinese team challenged Iran away.

Before this top 10 match, Cheng Hai had not met Iran at the national team level, but Iran is undoubtedly a lingering nightmare for Chinese fans, just like Koreanophobia.

Therefore, in this game, Cheng Hai's task is to lead the Chinese team to continue to defeat Iran and complete revenge.

At the same time, the Guinness World Record for National Team Goals is held by Iranian striker Ali Daei, whose world record for the number of goals scored by the national team is 109, a figure that no one in world football has ever reached, including Pele.

Therefore, the fighting spirit of the Huaguo team in this game is very strong.

But because the game was held in the Middle East, it was summer, and the weather was very hot, even Cheng Hai was a little uncomfortable, let alone the other players of the Chinese team.

The Iranians, who were playing at home, were a little like a fish in water, and successfully contained the Chinese team's attack in the early stages of the game.

Of course, that was mainly because Cheng Hai was not involved in the direct attack, but was helping to defend and make up for the loopholes caused by his teammates being hit by the Iranians due to lack of physical fitness.

After playing for more than ten minutes and gradually adapting to the weather and the rhythm of the Iranians, the Chinese team began to exert its might.

After all, Cheng Hai's full-value vision allowed him to seize the other party's loopholes in time.

And his own off-ball movement and ability to grab points can also allow him to run out of gaps and receive passes from teammates to directly threaten Iran's goal.

In the 22nd minute, Cheng Hai finally scored the first goal for the Huaguo team.

This is completely the embodiment of Cheng Hai's personal ability.

He opened the scoring with a quick off-ball run up front, shook off most of the defenders and ran out of gaps, received passes from teammates, and then used his superb breakthrough skills to connect the two to the box, smash the ball to dodge the gaps in the shot, and then fired straight into the far corner to open the scoring.

Hua Guo led 1-0 away.

After the Chinese team took a one-goal lead, Iran was a little anxious, after all, they were the ones who were behind the score now.

Thus, Iran can intensify its offensive.

However, this just allowed the Chinese team to gain more space to counterattack.

In the 36th minute, under the rapid pressing of Cheng Hai and his teammates, the ball of the Iranian team was cut off, and the Chinese team played a quick counterattack on the spot.

When Cheng Hai rushed to the front court and received a pass from his teammates, two of Iran's only three remaining defenders had to choose to block Cheng Hai, and the remaining defender also retreated and retreated, staring at Cheng Hai all the time, without looking at the running position of the rest of the Chinese team.

As a result, Cheng Hai picked up a pass before the two defenders completed the sandwich and surrounded it, picked the ball over the head of the last defender, and fell into the Iranian penalty area.

Full-back Yu Hai entered the penalty area, received a pass from Cheng Hai behind the last Iranian defender, and volleyed the ball into Iran's goal.

The national football team leads 2-0 away.

After falling behind by two goals, Iran's counter-attack was even more daring, trying to find a goal to equalize.

As a result, Cheng Hai gave the Iranians another hammer in the 44th minute before the end of the first half.

It was Cheng Hai's breakthrough attack after taking the ball, but when he had just entered the penalty area and was about to break through the last defender to form a shot, Hosseini, the last defender of Iran, couldn't help but give Cheng Hai a flying tackle, wanting to stop Cheng Hai's shot.

However, Cheng Hai's reaction was much faster than his.

Seeing that Hosseini's flying tackle was about to be in place, and his own shot would not be very sure, Cheng Hai grabbed the ball before Hosseini.

Then, Hosseini naturally tackled Cheng Hai, and it was a flying tackle without touching the ball.

As a result, Hosseini received a yellow card and gave the Chinese team a penalty.

Naturally, there was no suspense, Cheng Hai scored a brace in one fell swoop, helping the Huaguo team take a 3-0 lead away.

The goal conceded in the last minute of the first half was a big blow to the Iranians.

Therefore, at half-time, the Iranians made a substitution and added a striker in an attempt to strengthen the attack in the second half and turn the game around.

But in the second half, Cheng Hai retreated even deeper, making the Iranians' crazy attack almost all useless.

Even if he occasionally avoided Cheng Hai and hit the attack near the penalty area to get a shot, but it was limited to shooting skills or bad luck, and he still failed to score in the end.

On the contrary, Cheng Hai, even if he retreats to the same line as Zheng Zhi and Zhao Xuri to defend, he can still participate in the attack.

The way he attacks is by direct assists, or by indirect scheduling.

In the 64th minute, Cheng Hai first used a straight plug of more than 40 meters to avoid the interception of several Iranian players all the way, and just assisted Gao Lin, who was successful in anti-offside, to score the fourth goal of the Chinese team.

This scalpel-like straight plug caused all the commentators to sigh, claiming that Cheng Hai's ability to find gaps and transmit straight plugs may even be more powerful than Barcelona's brain Xavi.

Of course, because there are still few games for Cheng Hai to play the front midfield, it is not very convincing. But judging from the fans who watched the live broadcast at the scene and in front of the TV, Cheng Hai's ability to successfully pass through the plug is indeed not inferior to Harvey.

When the Iranians were trying to score a goal to save a little face, in the 77th minute, the Chinese team gave the Iranians the final blow.

But this time it wasn't Cheng Hai's goal, nor was it his assist, he just planned the attack after the ball was broken in the backfield.

The final result was that Hao Junmin assisted Gao Lin to score a goal, helping the Huaguo team to achieve a 5-0 away victory.

After scoring the goal, Gao Lin raised his right hand, stretched out his five fingers and slapped him, and signaled to the stands in a proud manner: You lost five goals today.

Gao Lin's provocation naturally attracted boos from all Iranian fans in the stands, but he didn't care, and also drove Cheng Hai, Lewandowski and others to stretch out their right hands to celebrate.

The score of 5-0 is indeed a shame for Iran, but there is no way, the huge gap in strength makes the Iranians can only bear this bitter fruit.

The final score was 0-5, and the away team won again and kept a clean sheet against Iran, without allowing Iran to score any goals.

Cheng Hai scored two goals and assists again, leading the world preliminaries.

Moreover, maybe Lebanon is weaker, but Iran and South Korea are definitely not weak, but they have all been beaten into a big score and have not scored a goal, which is enough to show Cheng Hai's success in the forward position.

In three world preliminaries, one 10-0, one 6-0, and one 5-0, he scored 21 goals and did not concede a single goal, which is undoubtedly the most ferocious offensive method in Asia.

And Cheng Hai also left everyone else on the top 10 scorer list and assist list far away with 9 goals and 7 assists.

Of course, there will be no golden boots awarded in the top 10 competition, just statistics for everyone to see.

But just by looking at this data, you can know how important Cheng Hai's play in the forward position is.

Not only can he score goals and assist, but he also has improved the strength of the Chinese team's originally colander-like backline by countless orders of magnitude, making Asian powerhouses such as South Korea and Iran shaved their heads.

Perhaps, even with the weak strength of the Chinese team, after entering the World Cup, it is still possible to make a breakthrough under the leadership of Cheng Hai.

How can such a Cheng Hai not make the major European giants rush to chase after him?

On the contrary, under Cheng Hai's continued excellent performance and the pressure exerted by the major giants, Dortmund Club finally relented and reached an agreement with Cheng Hai's agent Baker on various conditions, so that Cheng Hai and Dortmund successfully renewed his contract.
