The much-anticipated UEFA Super Cup is preceded by the 2011/2012 UEFA Champions League group draw and last season's home medal ceremonies.

As a result, before the Champions League draw ceremony, Dortmund received bad news.

Borussia Dortmund's main centre-forward Barrios, who represented Paraguay at the 2011 Copa America in Argentina, suffered a serious injury in the final on July 24 and will be sidelined for at least a month, in addition to losing 3-0 to Uruguay and missing out on the title.

The news gave Dortmund a headache to the entire team, except for Lewandowski.

Although Lewandowski expressed his grief over Barrios' injury with everyone on the surface, in fact, Barrios's injury will make Lewandowski the first substitute from the center forward into the first main force and become Cheng Hai's regular partner.

This is undoubtedly excellent news for Lewandowski.

Of course, it can't be said explicitly.

Professional football is like that, no one can do it.

On the afternoon of August 25, 2011, the draw for the 2011/2012 Champions League group stage and the UEFA Award Ceremony were held at the Palace of Parliament at the Plaza de la Royalty in Monaco.

In the end, Borussia Dortmund were placed in Group F alongside Arsenal in the Premier League, Marseille in Ligue 1 and Olympiacos in Greece.

A Bundesliga champion, a Premier League giant, a Ligue 1 giant, and a Greek Champions League regular, the group is a veritable group of death.

At the draw ceremony, even Klopp, who has Cheng Hai's goal machine, did not look very good, let alone the coaches of the other three teams.

But it has come to this point, and it can't be changed, everyone can only see you on the field.

After the draw ceremony, the Champions League awards ceremony from last season took place.

There is no doubt that Barcelona and Messi, as champions of last season's Champions League, became the biggest winners of last season's Champions League.

Messi was rightfully named in the best team and was last season's Champions League Golden Boot and Champions League Player of the Year with 12 goals.

Although Cheng Hai has won many championships and personal honors and broken records, Messi's Champions League title, Champions League Golden Boot, and Champions League best are enough to crush the League Cup, Asian Cup, Asian Games and many other events with gold content that are not as good as the Champions League.

It only depends on whether Cheng Hai can beat Messi's Barcelona in the UEFA Super Cup.

If Cheng Hai can beat Messi head-on, then break Gerd Muller's annual world record of 85 goals, and raise the world record to 100 goals, he may be able to win the final FIFA Ballon d'Or with his impression points in the second half of the year.

In short, Messi has a good chance of winning the 2011 FIFA Golden Ball with the Champions League and the Champions League Golden Boot, the best of the Champions League, and the honor of La Liga.

But Cheng Hai is not without opportunities, and it is entirely possible to pull some votes in support with this European Super Cup and his performance in the second half of the year.

If Cheng Hai can really beat Messi and win the FIFA Golden Ball at the age of 19, then he will become the only athlete in world football to win the Golden Ball under the age of 20, which is more awesome and alien-like than Ronaldo, the youngest Ballon d'Or winner to win the European Ballon d'Or at the age of 21.

The media and fans around the world are looking forward to the outcome.

Just look at the next day's European Super Cup, what kind of answer can Cheng Hai and Messi hand over in the face-to-face duel.

At 20:45 local time on August 26, 2011, the famous Louis II Stadium in Monaco, cheered by more than 18,000 fans and spectators, with the referee's whistle, the match between Barcelona and Dortmund, the champion of the 2010/2011 Champions League, officially began.

In the past, people would still play the Super Cup as a pre-season friendly and didn't pay much attention to it.

However, with Barcelona winning La Liga, Copa del Rey, Champions League, Spanish Super Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and Club World Cup in 2009, becoming the unprecedented annual six-crown winning universe team, everyone's attention to the Super Cup has suddenly increased to an unprecedented level.

No matter how decisive a game is, no matter how low the gold content is, it is a championship trophy recognized by the whole world after all.

What's more, this year may also involve the battle between Cheng Hai and Messi for the Golden Ball, and the two sides must fight to the end.

Therefore, whether it is Barcelona or Dortmund, this game is the main force to try to win.

Before the match with Barcelona, everyone only knew that Barcelona played pass-and-control football, and the ball possession rate was very high, but the specific feelings, including Cheng Hai, were not experienced by Dortmund players.

And today, Cheng Hai and others experienced it.

In the face of Cheng Hai, who has a high goal efficiency, Barcelona has strengthened the defense of the back line like other teams and prevented Cheng Hai from easily taking the ball to get a chance to shoot, and more importantly, Barcelona has always controlled the ball at its own feet.

Unless they are completely sure, Barcelona will not easily pass the ball forward, and then Dortmund will break the ball to form a counter-attack.

They used Barcelona's unique skills and teamwork to keep the ball firmly at their feet, even if they fell at the back, they did not give Dortmund a chance to control the ball.

The game has been going on for 20 minutes, and Cheng Hai has only touched the ball twice, and both times he has only made a turn, without forming a breakthrough and shooting.

The entire Borussia Dortmund team did not get a single shot on goal.

Barcelona too, too, had no chance to shoot on goal.

Dortmund have no chances on goal because they have a hard time getting the ball and getting the right to attack. Barceloan, on the other hand, did not shoot, and almost always fell to the back of the field, easily not passing the ball forward.

After 20 minutes, Barcelona's possession rate reached a terrifying 72%, and Dortmund's possession rate was only a measly 28%, which was several times worse, and it was simply a possession maniac.

Even if Cheng Hai and Lewandowski strengthened the frontcourt pressing, it was useless, because the Barcelona players' skills and passing tacit understanding advantages were too great.

Without this hand, Barcelona would not have become the six-crown winner of the year in 2009, known as Team Cosmos.

Barcelona is actually defending with possession to avoid the ball falling to Cheng Hai's feet.

Their strategy was undoubtedly successful.

It's just that in order to avoid the ball changing hands and letting the ball be passed to the feet of Cheng Hai, they themselves sacrificed a lot of offensive ability, resulting in no shot in the first 20 minutes.

But as a well-known Cosmos team and a world-class giant, Barcelona can't not attack at all and drag the game into extra time and penalty shootouts.

That kind of uncontrollability is too great.

Moreover, Messi is not allowed to play a game without a single shot.

Therefore, after thinking that Cheng Hai's offensive ability could be limited with possession defense, Barcelona continued to possess the ball after the 20th minute and began to try to attack.

Although Messi does not have Cheng Hai's full-value skills added by cheating in the system, as Maradona's successor, his talent is also the world's top, and the ball sense formed since he was a child and the ability to combine people and balls are quite strong.

What's more, he will also have a lot of skills that Cheng Hai can't do.

Therefore, in terms of the comprehensive ability of dribbling and breaking through, Messi is no worse than Cheng Hai, and occasionally breaking through with the ball can cause chaos in the Dortmund backline, making Kyle, Hurmes, Subotic and others busy for a while.

Fortunately, Dortmund also conducted many targeted training sessions for the famous Barcelona, defended well, and did not let Barcelona's attack succeed.

The most dangerous time was in the 28th minute, when Messi broke through the defense of two Dortmund players in a row at the edge of the penalty area, and then made a delicate collision with Iniesta to enter the penalty area without stopping the ball and shooting.

Fortunately, Messi's shooting skills are not as perverted as Cheng Hai.

Although he played a little angle, he was not as perverted as Cheng Hai and went straight to the dead end.

In addition, Weidenfeller has also been concentrating, narrowly saving Messi's shot from the bottom line and resolving Barcelona's dangerous attack.

Cheng Hai finally completed his first attack in the 33rd minute, but in the end, when he shot from outside the penalty area, Mascherano pushed him from the side behind, causing the contact part to change, and the ball was finally slightly above the crossbar.

Despite this, when Cheng Hai shot the goal, it still made countless Barcelona players and fans on the scene and in front of the TV so nervous that their hearts almost jumped out.

Because Cheng Hai's shooting skills and goal rate are too high and perverted, everyone is afraid that Cheng Hai will score as long as he shoots.

Fortunately, Mascherano made an excellent defense and blocked Cheng Hai's shot.

But Cheng Hai's skills are too many, and his various abilities are too perfect.

As long as Barcelona tries to attack, it may lead to the failure of the attack, the ball changing hands, and the ball can be passed to Cheng Hai's feet.

In the case of Barcelona strengthening the midfield scramble, Cheng Hai did not wait in the front court, allowing his teammates to send the ball to his feet.

Although his fitness is not enough to support him to run back and forth between the two penalty areas, he can still do it when he returns to midfield to catch the ball once in a while.

With his physique and dribbling skills, as long as he gets the ball, even if he can't break through the opponent's interception, he can control the ball at his feet, attract multiple players from the opposing team, and create opportunities for his teammates.

In the 38th minute, Cheng Hai completed such an assist.

This time it was again Barcelona's attack that caused the ball to change hands, with striker Villa's shot deflected wide of the post and Borussia Dortmund winning the goal.

Instead of kicking wide, Weidenfeller passed the ball to Hummels, who attacked through the defender.

After three passes and two downs, the ball reached the feet of Cheng Hai, who returned to the midfield.

Although Xavi and Mascherano rushed up to surround Cheng Hai together, Cheng Hai's full value of dribbling and physique caused the two to never succeed in stealing.

Cheng Hai, on the other hand, was in possession of the ball while observing the running position of his partner and center Lewandowski, who was in the front court.
