Chapter 177: The Triple Crown
Although they knew they were going to lose, the game was not over after all, and the Barcelona players wanted to struggle a little more.
Therefore, although Cheng Hai, who scored a hat-trick, wanted to continue celebrating with his teammates, he was soon complained by the Barcelona players, believing that they deliberately delayed the time and were interfered by the referee to stop Dortmund's goal celebration.
The game restarted, and Barcelona pressed all over the line and launched the most frantic attack, trying to fight for the impossible chance of scoring two goals in a row.
However, Klopp was soon interrupted by their attack.
Klopp made one final substitution when Barca's wide attack was tackled off the touchline by Schmelzer and resulted in a dead goal.
Gasping for breath and looking exhausted, Gundogan, who was replaced, slowly walked off the pitch, causing constant protests from Barcelona players and boos from Barcelona fans in the stands.
The referee urged Gundogan, who jogged two more steps, then stopped and walked slowly off the field, making the Barcelona people more and more dissatisfied, but helpless.
The substitution was delayed for more than 10 or 20 seconds, and then substitute defender Sobiech came on, and Barcelona immediately threw a throw-in and attacked.
However, with all the Dortmund players such as Cheng Hai, Shinji Kagawa and Owomoyela returning to the penalty area, Barcelona's attack never worked.
Not to mention scoring goals, not even a single threatening shot from the woodwork.
Soon, the clock was already 94 minutes and stoppage time was out.
However, the referee did not blow the final whistle and the game continued amid a chorus of boos from the Dortmund fans to the referee.
In fact, this is very reasonable, because Cheng Hai scored the goal was already in stoppage time, and the celebration after Cheng Hai's goal was delayed for a while, and the referee allowed the game to be extended as appropriate.
But obviously, there is a limit to the extension of stoppage time. Moreover, Barcelona is two goals behind, not one goal, and the delay of dozens of seconds has no effect at all.
So, with 94 minutes and 46 seconds left to play, the referee finally blew the whistle for the end of the game after Hummels got ahead of Sanchez and kicked the ball that Andres Iniesta tried to pass into the box out of the sideline.
Suddenly, the entire Allianz Arena was boiling.
Klopp, Blackmer, Gundogan, Mario Goetze, Lewandowski and others on the sidelines all frantically poured into the stadium, hugging and high-five excitedly with Cheng Hai, Shinji Kagawa and others on the field to celebrate the victory.
In the stands, outside the stadium, in the city of Dortmund, all over Germany, and all over the world, Dortmund fans, Cheng Hai/Lewandowski and others all broke out into warm and huge applause, cheers, and screams.
Countless die-hard Dortmund fans wept with joy and roared unconsciously to vent their excitement.
At this moment, Dortmund reached the top of Europe.
On the commentary seat, the commentators of TV stations from various countries also explained loudly and affectionately:
"The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!"
"It's over!"
"Cheng Hai scored a hat-trick in the final to help Borussia Dortmund win 3-1 against Lionel Messi's Barcelona and win the 2011/2012 UEFA Champions League.
"At the same time, this is the second time in the club's history that Dortmund has lifted the Champions League trophy, which represents the highest honour of European clubs, after 15 years since 1997."
"What's even more shocking is that Dortmund won the Bundesliga, German Cup and Champions League this season, becoming the first team in the history of German football to win the treble, and also the seventh team in European football to win the treble after Celtic in 1967, Ajax in 1972, PSV Eindhoven in 1988, Manchester United in 1999, Barcelona in 2009 and Inter Milan in 2010."
"This is a great feat that Bayern Munich, which is known as the leader of the Bundesliga, has never done."
"If you compare it from the treble, you can say that Dortmund is more successful than Bayern Munich."
"If you count the German Super Cup and UEFA Super Cup at the beginning of last season, Dortmund completed the feat of five crowns in the 2011/2012 season."
"Counting last season's Bundesliga and UEFA Cup doubles, Dortmund has won a full seven titles in two seasons, which is undoubtedly an absolutely brilliant achievement no matter which team it puts on."
"And the foundation of all this comes from Cheng Hai."
"In this game, Cheng Hai and Messi both scored, but Cheng Hai scored three, and Messi only scored one."
"There is no doubt that Cheng Hai's performance has overwhelmed Messi in an all-round way, and the Champions League championship is also the best reward for Cheng Hai's performance."
"After the Champions League restructuring, the first hat trick was scored in the final, and Cheng Hai's name was permanently left in the record of the Champions League history."
"In addition, with the addition of these three goals in the final, Cheng Hai's total goals in the Champions League this season have reached 24, not only breaking the original Champions League single-season individual goal record, but also refreshing the record to more than 20 goals, becoming the only super scorer in the history of the Champions League with a single-season goal exceeding 20 mark."
"This season, whether it is the Bundesliga, the German Cup, or the Champions League, Cheng Hai has won the Golden Boot in a record-breaking form."
"In the two seasons he came to Dortmund, Cheng Hai made a total of 95 official appearances for Dortmund, scoring 200 goals, with an average of 2.1 goals per game."
"It can be said that Cheng Hai has made the greatest contribution to Dortmund's treble and seven championships in two seasons."
"Without Cheng Hai, there would be absolutely no Dortmund treble and as many as seven titles in two seasons."
"At this moment, although Cheng Hai is still a few days away from turning 20 years old, he is already an undisputed world superstar."
"And this Champions League champion and triple crown is undoubtedly the best 20th birthday gift Cheng Hai gave himself."
In China, although it was the middle of the night, countless Chinese fans and Cheng Hai's fans cheered for Cheng Hai's first Champions League championship like the New Year.
Tieba, forums, QQ groups, full of warm congratulations and heated discussions from fans:
"Haha, win! I knew that Cheng Hai would definitely lead Dortmund to defeat Barcelona to win the championship. ”
"I also expected that Cheng Hai is too strong! The first hat-trick in the history of the restructured Champions League final is enough to explain everything. ”
"In addition to the hat-trick in the first final after the Champions League restructuring mentioned upstairs, Cheng Hai also scored 24 goals, which is the first record in the history of the Champions League and the only time that he scored 20+ goals in a single season."
"He also helped Borussia Dortmund win the first team in German history and the seventh in Europe to win the treble."
"Awesome! With this performance, the FIFA Golden Globe Award is absolutely stable. If it's still unstable, I'll eat the computer! ”
"Hehe, that's not for sure. In 10 years, wasn't Sneijder in the Champions League? Isn't it the Triple Crown? It's not the same, I didn't win the award. ”
"How did Sneijder compare with Cheng Hai? Cheng Hai not only won the championship, but also broke the record Champions League Golden Boot, Bundesliga Golden Boot, European Golden Boot, German Cup Golden Boot, Season Five Crowns and so on. Whether it is collective honor or individual honor, who else competes with Cheng Hai? Messi? No kidding. ”
"Messi naturally can't compete, but this year is the European Cup, and if you don't know it, the FIFA Golden Ball Award will be awarded to the member of the winning team that won the European Cup. After all, Cheng Hai is a yellow and Chinese, didn't last year's award reveal racial discrimination by the judges? ”
"That was last year, and this year I don't think anyone will dare to continue to be blind? If there are still people who ignore Cheng Hai's achievements this year, resulting in the Golden Ball Award not being awarded to Cheng Hai in the end, then FIFA can really be disbanded. ”
"Yes, if you can't win the Golden Globe Award for such a large number of honors, this Golden Globe Award has completely lost its fairness and justice."
While the commentators and fans were discussing Dortmund's treble, five-time crown, and Cheng Hai's various record-breaking achievements, there was also a group of people who were staring at Cheng Hai with bright eyes, wanting to recruit him to his command.
Madrid, Spain, after watching the live broadcast, Florentino said to his assistant: "Increase the offer to Dortmund, 130 million, buy Cheng Hai!" ”
In London, England, Abramovich pointed to Cheng Hai, who was still celebrating with his teammates on the live broadcast screen, and said to the general manager of the team next to him: "At all costs, dig Cheng Hai over!" The transfer fee can be up to 150 million! ”
Russia, who signed Eto'o with the world's first annual salary of 20.5 million euros last summer, Anzhi Makhachkala Club owner and Russian billionaire Suleiman Nikimov, said to the secretary next to him: "Mobilize all resources to lead Cheng Hai, the transfer fee can be up to 200 million, and the annual salary for Cheng Hai can reach 50 million euros." ”
The transfer fee is good to say, the top European giants have to attract Cheng Hai at least more than 100 million, and the unknown Russian team wants to introduce Cheng Hai, who is in his playing year, and the transfer fee to 200 million is a normal operation.
But the annual salary can be up to 50 million euros, which really scares the secretary.
You know, now in addition to Eto'o, Ronaldo, who has the highest annual salary, is only 12 million euros. Give Cheng Hai an annual salary of 50 million euros, is this not wanting to live?
The secretary couldn't help asking, but the boss was still staring at Cheng Hai on the live broadcast screen, and said in a deep voice: "If you can sign Cheng Hai, you can sell Eto'o, and you can save Eto'o's salary." Cheng Hai is a superstar like Maradona, who can single-handedly lead a weak team into the world's top team, and even his goal efficiency is more terrifying than that of Maradona. ”
The secretary swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively: "Cheng Hai's 100 million euros liquidated damages will take effect next year, can you also use 100 million euros as a transfer fee at that time, and then give Cheng Hai an annual salary of 50 million euros to attract him?" Even, the 100 million transfer fee saved can be opened to 70 million or 80 million for Cheng Hai, why do you have to use 200 million transfer fees to introduce him this year? ”
Suleiman Nikimov looked at the secretary like a fool and said: "Cheng Hai's performance, do you think he will not transfer to other clubs this summer?" Won't a new contract be signed? Or is it our turn to buy him over next year with liquidated damages? ”
The secretary's heart was shocked, and he finally understood!
With the league level of Anzhi Club and its own heritage and reputation, they can only attract Dortmund to agree to let Cheng Hai go this summer with a world-record transfer fee and annual salary, and Cheng Hai agrees to transfer to Russia.
If he doesn't make a decisive move, Cheng Hai will most likely be signed by other giants this summer, and the contract will be re-signed, regardless of the amount of liquidated damages or the effective time of liquidated damages, it will definitely be modified, where is there still the opportunity for Anzhi to lead Cheng Hai with 100 million liquidated damages next year?
In addition to Real Madrid, Chelsea, and Anzhi, the owners or senior management of Barcelona, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Paris Saint-Germain are all salivating for Cheng Hai, who scored a hat-trick in this battle for Europe's pinnacle, and they all want to grab it immediately this summer.
Everyone can't wait for another 100 million euros of "low-priced" liquidated damages next year, because everyone can imagine how competitive next year will be.
Cheng Hai's attraction is not only the hat trick and treble in this Champions League final, but Cheng Hai's consistent goal rate.
Not to mention a hat-trick in a single game, there are a lot of people who score five, six, seven or eight, but that kind of performance is not sustained and not very attractive.
But Cheng Hai is different, he is very stable, scoring two goals, hat-tricks, senior happiness is commonplace, and more importantly, he can lead the team to win the championship.
Except for the German Cup in the 10/11 season, the team was eliminated because Cheng Hai did not participate in one round, and in other competitions that Cheng Hai participated in, whether it was a club or a national team, Cheng Hai led the team to the final championship with a record-breaking Golden Boot, including the Champions League this season.
This is what Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Anzhi and other local tyrant clubs that have not yet won the Champions League want most, and Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and other clubs that have won the Champions League do not mind leading the sea to impact the Champions League again.
From the moment the Champions League final ends this season, European football has entered a moment when major giants compete for Cheng Hai.
Although the European transfer window will not open until July 1, it is already possible for everyone to start making early contact and contention.
Of course, Cheng Hai who was on the field at this time would not care so much, he was celebrating his first Champions League title and first treble honor with his teammates.
After more than one or two minutes of celebration, the podium was set up, and the name of Dortmund Club was engraved on the trophy, and the award could be officially presented.
After presenting Barcelona's runner-up medal, Cheng Hai also received his 2011/2012 Champions League Golden Boot and Best Player awards.
In the end, with the singing of "We Are the Champions" and the cheers of the fans, Dortmund lifted the 2011/2012 Champions League winners' Big Ears Cup and stood on the top of Europe, becoming the seventh team in Europe to win the Treble.
The Champions League Golden Boot, goal-breaking records, best players, etc., have brought Cheng Hai a reward of 4 million experience.
However, it is already quite difficult to level up by experience, and Cheng Hai's main way to obtain new skills and skill points comes from champions and multiple champions.
Like winning the Champions League this time, Cheng Hai completed the task 12 of the Champions League championship and received a reward of 200 skill points, and the balance of skill points became 201.
In addition, this Champions League allowed Cheng Hai to win the 2011/2012 Triple Crown with Dortmund and the 2012 Triple Crown.
The five crowns of the season and the triple crown of the year allowed Cheng Hai to draw one more random skill.
Cheng Hai's luck was against the sky, and the two random skills he drew turned out to be "Vision" and "Marseille Roundabout" respectively.
Needless to say, the Marseille maneuver is Zidane's signature breakthrough skill, which is quite easy to use when passing people on the court, combined with Cheng Hai's full value of dribbling, cycling, croquettes, oxtail passing, Matthews feints, Cruyff turning, crotch passing, human ball sharing, etc., even if the breakthrough skills have not been fully obtained, they are basically invincible.
Because Cheng Hai's skills are all full value, the stacking effect is very high, no matter how fast or slow the speed is, there are full value skills that can be selected to break through.
Not to mention ordinary defensive players, even the top defenders, in a one-on-one situation, Cheng Hai also has a ninety percent probability of breaking through the past.
Vision, on the other hand, is a matter related to the breadth of a player's perspective on the field.
When fans watch the live broadcast, the camera is in the air, but in fact, everyone is watching the 3D God perspective.
However, when players play on the field, they have a flat 2D perspective, which is also limited by the breadth of the eye's perspective, so the field of vision is relatively limited.
Like Cheng Hai, although he has full value of running without the ball and grabbing points, it gives him a strong ability to drill gaps in a small area.
But once the distance is far away, after more than 15 meters or 20 meters, it is not easy for him to find the gap.
Even if he has the skills of long passing, crossing, and direct plugging in the air, he lacks vision and can't find a gap in the distance, so he naturally can't pass the ball in time.
This is also an important reason why Cheng Hai defended well in the back position before, but did not contribute much in attack, unless he personally participated in the attack.
And now that this skill is opened, if it is fully filled, then Cheng Hai can find the running gap of his teammates in the distance on the 2D plane court when he is in the back position, and pass the ball to create a killing opportunity for his teammates.
In the club, this skill may not be used much, because most of Cheng Hai will be directly forward.
But in the national Olympic team and the national team, this skill is very useful.
Cheng Hai can already think of a usage, that is, in the next World Preliminary Top Ten and the London Olympics, he will retreat from the position, but the front or back will release his powerful ability at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, not only to help the team defend, but also to organize the attack, and also to break through the goal and score by himself.
It's just not too cool.
Originally, Cheng Hai was afraid that the defense of the national Olympic team and the national team would be too bad, even if he scored more goals in the front court, he would not be able to make up for the gap with the giants of the world, but now with the key skill of "vision", then he can help the team strengthen the defense, and the loss of the offense is not too big.
