Chapter 30: Another goal on his European debut

The next day, on the morning of August 15, after Cheng Hai woke up after completing the dream training, his experience rose to level 15 100,600/100,000, and he was automatically upgraded to level 16 00,600/200,000, and obtained an upgrade reward of 20 skill points, with a balance of 21 skill points.

In terms of new skills, the system randomly turned on the "balance" for Cheng Hai.

This is a skill that can help players grasp the center of gravity more easily when fighting opponents, and not easily fall.

may be affected by the full-value physique, Cheng Hai's "balance" attribute is not bad, and the initial attribute has 7 points.

If this skill is added to the full value, and the full value of the physique is added, maybe Cheng Hai will become a "tumbler" on the court.

Therefore, this skill is still very important, and it is very useful for Cheng Hai to get stuck in the penalty area, grab points, and pass and receive the ball.

Therefore, Cheng Hai first spent 13 skill points to increase the "balance" from 7 to 15, and the remaining skill point balance was 8.

Then, the remaining 8 skill points, after Cheng Hai thought about it, he added 5 of them to the "stop ball", so that the stop of 17 became 18, and the balance of skill points was left with 3.

Now Cheng Hai mainly runs out of the gap to catch the ball and shoot, and ball control and breakthrough are not in his style of play for the time being, so whether it is dribbling or Matthews feigning, it is relatively not as important as "stopping the ball".

After completing the upgrades and bonus points, Cheng Hai's basic attributes and skills become:

Whether it is a perfect skill with a full value of 20 or a skill that reaches a professional level of more than 15 points, there are more and more, and Cheng Hai's strength is getting stronger and stronger.

After a day of rest, the team continued training.

On August 18, the first day of the first leg of the League Cup play-offs, Cheng Hai's German skills were finally unlocked, and Cheng Hai basically mastered most of the listening, speaking, reading and writing skills of the German used in daily life.

In the past month, Fu Hangyi, his coach and teammates were not only surprised by Cheng Hai's football progress, but also shocked by his German learning progress.

By now, Cheng Hai has no problem communicating with his teammates, even real Germans such as Klopp, Weidenfeller, and Kyle feel that Cheng Hai's German skills are no different from ordinary Germans.

If you close your eyes and listen to Cheng Hai without looking at your skin color, you still think that Cheng Hai is a German!

However, although the German had been completely learned, Fu Hangyi was not in a hurry to go back.

Because tomorrow is the first leg of the League Cup play-offs, it is the first League Cup game of Cheng Hai's career, and it is also the first professional game of Westfalen's home stadium.

Three days after the first leg of the UEFA Cup play-offs, it was Dortmund's home game against Bayer Leverkusen in the first round of the Bundesliga.

Therefore, Fu Hangyi is ready to return to China after watching these two blockbuster games.

In addition, during this time, countless brokers came to Cheng Hai, and Fu Hangyi also took on the responsibility of screening brokers for Cheng Hai.

However, Cheng Hai, an ordinary broker who came to recommend himself before, did not take a fancy to it.

As Cheng Hai's performance in the friendly match became better and better, when he made his professional debut a few days ago and scored in his debut, the agent of Germany's biggest name, recommended by captain Kehl, appeared.

This agent's name is Beck, and his biggest player is the captain of the German national team, Ballack, who is a very capable guy with tentacles all over Germany and extending to the five major leagues, whether it is the transfer of players, contract renewal negotiations, or commercial endorsements, he is very expert.

Therefore, in the past few days, Fu Hangyi is negotiating a tug-of-war with Baker on behalf of Cheng Hai, and it is estimated that the conditions will be determined and signed in a few days, and things such as contract renewal, transfer, and commercial endorsement can be handed over to Baker.

After all, Fu Hangyi is not a professional.

Before Cheng Hai became famous, Fu Hangyi was okay as a German teacher and guest assistant.

But after Cheng Hai becomes famous, it will not only be the renewal of the contract in the future, transfers, commercial endorsements, but even charity, social image design, etc., which is not something that Fu Hangyi can solve.

Moreover, he couldn't solve it.

He is a teacher at Yuzhou University, and school is about to start, and he who wants to go back to class is not a football agent.

Therefore, it is a must for Cheng Hai to find a professional broker.

And with his current hot state, it is natural to attract a big-name agent like Baker, but the two sides still have some differences on the share ratio.

But Fu Hangyi told Cheng Hai that as long as he had a good performance in tomorrow's League Cup game, such as scoring a goal or something, he was sure that Baker would accept their conditions.

After all, Cheng Hai's future is too ambitious, and the Chinese market behind it is too attractive.

As long as Cheng Hai shows enough level and value, even if the broker's share ratio is lower, Baker will accept it.

Soon, on the evening of 19 August, the Westfalen Stadium was packed as Borussia Dortmund were set to play the first leg of their UEFA Cup play-off against Azerbaijan Premier League side Qarabak.

Baker took the assistant of his agency and Fu Hangyi to sit in the seat with the best line of sight and watched the game live.

This is Cheng Hai's invitation to him, and the effect is self-evident.

Baker also knew Cheng Hai's intentions, and he also had a judgment in his heart.

If Cheng Hai can still come off the bench to score goals in this game, he will agree to Cheng Hai's signing conditions.

A player who only entered professional football at the age of 18, scored on his professional debut, and scored again on his UEFA Cup debut, and has already proven himself, deserves to reduce his agent's share.

Otherwise, the two sides will have to bargain again.

In the expectation of Baker and others, at 21:00 local time on August 19, 2010, in the cheers of the audience, with the referee's whistle, the first leg of the 2010/2011 League Cup play-offs Dortmund home against Qarabag (Azerbaijan) officially began.

Cheng Hai naturally sat on the bench as always, and he was not qualified to start now due to his poor physical fitness.

Sometimes, Cheng Hai even can't help but wonder: Will he never be able to draw the skill of "physical fitness", and then keep playing as a substitute because of physical fitness, and score goals every time he is a substitute, and win the league golden boot as a substitute in the last season?

It's funny enough to think about!

Moreover, it is possible that this situation will be realized!

Because there are so many abilities involved in football, there are countless physical qualities, basic skills, shooting skills, breakthrough skills, passing and receiving skills, defensive skills, goalkeeping skills, etc.

Every time the system randomly opens a new skill, "physical fitness" is only one of many skills, and it is entirely possible that it cannot be opened in a season.

However, whether it can be opened or not, Cheng Hai can only play as a substitute in today's game.

To be able to reach the League Cup play-offs, Qarabag's strength is still good. However, against Borussia Dortmund, a giant in the Bundesliga, one of the top five leagues, Qarabag had no power to resist at all.

Although they tried their best to defend and counterattack, they still couldn't stop Dortmund's attack, nor could they break through Dortmund's defense.

In the 13th minute, full-back Shinji Kagawa played a wonderful combination with his teammates in the front, and then sent the ball into the goal with a volley from inside the penalty area.

Borussia Dortmund lead Qarabag 1-0.

In the 21st minute, full-back Schmelzer suddenly cut in from the side at high speed, and after hitting the wall twice with Nuri Shaheen, Gotze and others, he broke through the side defense of Qarabag, and then crossed from the bottom.

Centre-forward Barrios battled for the top in the middle, grabbed the first point, and with a powerful header on the goal, he headed the ball into the Qarabag goal.

Borussia Dortmund lead 2-0 at home.

In the 29th minute, Dortmund won a corner kick opportunity, and Barrios successfully dug the ball into the net of the Qarabag goal again, scoring a brace with a header and giving Dortmund a 3-0 lead.

Everyone knows that not only is the game stable, but even the second leg of the play-offs has lost its suspense, and the team from Azerbaijan simply cannot prevent Dortmund from entering the main stage of the League Cup, and there is no chance at all.

However, even so, Dortmund's goal did not stop.

Just before the end of the first half, in the 41st minute, forward Nuri Shaheen found the goal of the goal with a wonderful curling free kick from a free-kick in front of the goal.

Borussia Dortmund took a 4-0 lead.

The die is cast.

Therefore, at half-time, Klopp replaced both Barrios and Shahin with Lewandowski and Foyerna in preparation for the next Bundesliga game against Bayer Leverkusen.

After Shaheen went off, Shinji Kagawa moved from wing-back to the center to take over Shahin's forward position.

Shinji Kagawa, who also joined this summer, was not interesting to organize in the forward position, and the 4-0 lead made his teammates slow down the attack.

Therefore, until the 70th minute, Dortmund did not score again, and the score remained at 4-0.

Finally, in the 72nd minute, Klopp replaced the long-awaited No. 9 striker Cheng Hai.

Cheng Hai finally stepped on the field of the UEFA Cup.

Similarly, for Dortmund, who are already leading 4-0, it doesn't matter what Cheng Hai performs after the pitch and whether he can score or not.

But for Cheng Hai himself, he has to cherish every minute of the substitute game.

Therefore, despite the fact that the team has a large lead and his teammates are a little lacking in offensive motivation, Cheng Hai is still running with all his might, striving for every chance that may form a shot.

Unfortunately, although the opponent was already behind by a large score, the match was never over, and there was still a second leg.

Although there is little hope, there is still a little hope in the end.

Therefore, while trying their best to counter-attack, Qarabag was still careful about their defence.

For Cheng Hai, the No. 9 player who already has a lot of popularity, Karabake's coach explained to the players before the game.

Therefore, Cheng Hai was closely guarded by the opponent after coming on the bench, and there were not many opportunities to get.

In the 75th minute, Cheng Hai almost successfully got a single chance against offside, but unfortunately Shinji Kagawa, who held the ball, passed the ball a little late, causing Cheng Hai's offside.

Otherwise, Cheng Hai may form a chance to shoot alone.

In the 78th minute, Cheng Hai finally got a chance to shoot in the penalty area, but unfortunately this opportunity was a chaotic battle in a corner kick attack.

Although Cheng Hai completed the action of shooting, there were too many people in the penalty area, and his shot was subconsciously stretched out by the opposing defender and stabbed him out of the penalty area.

For Qarabag, if they can score an away goal in this game to make the score 4-1, then there is still a little hope in the second leg, and a win of 3-0 can lead to the advantage of more away goals.

Therefore, despite the horror of the Westfalen Stadium, despite the threat of Cheng Hai, Lewandowski and others, Qarabag is still trying his best to counterattack and want to score an away goal.

Sometimes, however, it turns out to be the opposite.

So, in the midst of continuous attempts, in the 84th minute, Qarabag launched another wing attack.

As a result, after the ball hit the front of the wing, it failed to break through the defense of fullback Schmelzer, but was tackled by Schmelzer decisively and quickly, poked the ball at the feet of the Qarabag full-back, and then quickly stepped forward to control the ball, and then passed to Gotze on the wing.

To the cheers of the crowd, Mario Gotze raced the ball down the flank, deflected past the opposition full-back Shady Gough with a delicate man, and then crossed low.

In the middle, Lewandowski, who came on as a substitute, rushed desperately to the penalty area, like Cheng Hai. It's just that Lewandowski is faster than Cheng Hai, and his position is a little ahead of Cheng Hai, and Cheng Hai is a few steps behind Lewandowski.

Although the team was already 4-0 up, it was not Lewandowski's goal.

Like Cheng Hai, Lewandowski is also a newcomer, and he is also a substitute, and he also wants to score goals!

Therefore, Lewandowski's run on the counter-attack was timely this time, and he really resisted the collision of the opposing central defender in the penalty area, successfully jumped to grab the first point, shook his head and headed the cross of Gotze towards the goal.

At the moment when Lewandowski grabbed the first point and shook his head to attack the goal and pushed the ball towards the goal, Cheng Hai, who had just run to the top of the arc of the big penalty area, instinctively felt that the ball pushed out by Lewandowski might hit the crossbar and bounce back into the penalty area with the two skills of running without the ball and grabbing points with a full value of 20.

Then, Cheng Hai didn't think about anything in his mind, and suddenly broke the line completely by physical instinct, rushing to the possible landing point after the ball bounced back: the left corner of the small penalty area.

And the Karabak defender Aibaruff, who followed Cheng Hai back to defense, paid attention to Lewandowski's header, and was a little caught off guard by Cheng Hai's sudden change of direction and movement, and he didn't keep up with it.

In the eyes of all the spectators at the scene and in front of the TV, it was Dortmund who cut off Kaballak's attack and played a wave of extremely fast attack.

After Mario Gotze broke through on the side, Lewandowski and Cheng Hai in the middle followed up to grab the point, and Kabalak, who was still attacking just now, only two defenders followed Lewandowski and Cheng Hai back to the penalty area.

Lewandowski then rushed to the edge of the penalty area and before he could defend his centre-backs, a lion flicked his head and headed the ball towards Kaballak's goal.

Cheng Hai, who followed up and was originally going straight to the goal, suddenly changed direction and rushed to the back of the small penalty area at the moment when Lewandowski completed his header, so that the defender who followed him, Aibaruff, did not react and was thrown away in an instant.

Next, everyone saw that Lewandowski's header flew diagonally towards the goal, went over the goalkeeper's palm, only to hit the crossbar and bounce back into the box.

Many Dortmund fans who had stood up and were ready to celebrate the goal suddenly lamented, and a very small number of Caballak away fans breathed a sigh of relief and a little rejoicing.

As a result, before they could make more expressions and movements, they saw the ball on the crossbar bounce diagonally to the back of the small penalty area.

Then, a player wearing the number 9 shirt of Borussia Dortmund rushed right nearby.

Although there was still a little distance, he made a timely flying cushion shot and cushioned the ball that fell from the air into the empty goal formed by the goalkeeper after the goalkeeper saved Lewandowski's header to the ground.

In the 84th minute of the game, Cheng Hai made a supplementary goal, and the ball that rebounded back into the penalty area after Lewandowski's header was re-sent into the goal, and while he scored on his debut in the League Cup, it also helped Dortmund lock the score at 5-0.

Not to mention this game, even the second leg of the play-offs has lost its suspense, and Dortmund is set to qualify for the group stage of this season's UEFA Cup.

This was Cheng Hai's first official game at Westfalen Stadium, and it was also his first official match goal.

Coupled with the single goal experience of the League Cup with a full 50,000 experience after completing the goal, Cheng Hai was very excited, turned over and got up, spread his arms and rushed to the corner kick area along the bottom line, and greeted the tsunami-like cheers of the fans.

If the goals in friendlies are uncountable, the goals in two consecutive official matches in the German Cup and the UEFA Cup play-offs speak for themselves.

After Mario Gotze, Cheng Hai has also become the darling of Westfalen Stadium!

Huaguo, CCTV-5 live broadcast room, the commentator also shouted excitedly the moment Cheng Hai shot the ball pad into the net:

"The ball is in!"

"The ball has gone in!"

"Cheng Hai has scored!"

"This is Cheng Hai's first game in the League Cup, and he scored his first goal in the League Cup!"

"This is also the second goal of a Chinese player in a European competition!"

"The last time a Chinese player scored in a European competition was back in the 2003/2004 season in the UEFA Cup qualifying round, when Sun Jihai scored the first and only goal of the Chinese player in the UEFA Cup with a 60th-minute header in Manchester City's 5-0 win over Wales runners-up TNS."

"It's been seven years since Sun Jihai's goal. Today, another Chinese player has finally scored in the League Cup! ”

"Cheng Hai scored the second goal of a Chinese player in the history of European competition, and he also became the second player in the history of Chinese football to score in a European competition."
