On the evening of November 8, 2012, the 2012 Huaguo Football Association Year-end Ceremony and Huachao Award Ceremony was held in Yangcheng.

In the short film before the start of the ceremony, the highlights of Cheng Hai leading the Chinese Olympic team to win the London Olympic championship became the most important focus of the short film.

This already foreshadows who will be in the spotlight tonight.

Subsequently, the award ceremony officially began, and in everyone's applause, the organizing committee successively awarded the top scorer of the Chinese Super League, the best local top scorer, the best player of the Chinese Super League, the best coach, the best referee, the best newcomer, the best goalkeeper, the best foreign aid and other awards.

When these domestic awards are awarded, the most high-profile and least suspenseful highlight comes.

The host walked up to the podium and said affectionately:

"2012 is a memorable year for Chinese football!"

"At the 2012 London Olympic Games, the Chinese Olympic team made a historic record of winning the first Olympic championship in the history of Chinese football and the first world championship."

"On the road of the national Olympic team rushing all the way and finally winning the championship, there is a player who deserves our gratitude!"

"At the same time, this player has won the Champions League at the club he plays for, and he is the first Chinese player to win the Champions League!"

He also led the club to become the first German team and the seventh European Treble team to win the Treble.

'He's everywhere at club and at all levels of the national team, and his goals are unstoppable!

"Now, let's look at the big screen!"

Everyone knew who the host was talking about, and many people's eyes were on Cheng Hai's location, and proud smiles appeared on the faces of Aniya, Cheng Songquan, Xi Yulin and others.

Then, Cheng Hai's wonderful performance in 2012 began to be played on the big screen.

Classic moments and goals such as 17 goals in 6 games of the London Olympics led the team to win the championship, 131 goals in the club's season and led Dortmund to win the treble, five goals in five minutes, and the European Golden Boot Award appeared on the screen, attracting applause and exclamations from the audience.

Cheng Hai's achievements and glory are really dazzling.

All the people present combined, none of the achievements and trophies achieved by Cheng Hai alone were dazzling.

This personal collection of Cheng Hai was played for ten minutes, and finally the words "2012 Chinese Footballer Mr. Cheng Hai" were played on the big screen.

With the end of the video collection of short films, the host looked in the direction of Cheng Hai on the stage and said loudly: "Next, let us use the warmest applause to invite the winner of the 2012 Huaguo Footballer: Cheng Hai!" ”

All the guests immediately stood up and gave the warmest applause in the audience.

Whether it is the Chinese people or those foreign players who play in the Chinese Super League, they all gave the most sincere applause to Cheng Hai's achievements.

Cheng Hai's achievements in leading the team to win the Olympic championship have made the Chinese people respect. And his great feat of leading Dortmund to win the treble also convinced those foreign players and coaches.

In front of so many compatriots, winning this award also made Cheng Hai feel a kind of excitement to return to his hometown and gain the recognition of his hometown.

He stood up and bowed frequently to the audience in thanks, and then climbed the podium and came to the host.

The staff next to him handed Cheng Hai a microphone, and Cheng Hai bowed deeply to the audience again and said, "Thank you!" Thank you! ”

Then, everyone's applause fell, and the host shook hands with Cheng Hai and said: "Cheng Hai, we all know that you have almost booked this year's FIFA Golden Ball Award, and you have also won the Asian Footballer last year." Today is your first time winning the Chinese Footballer of the Year, how do you feel now? ”

Cheng Hai took a deep breath and said:

"Excited, proud, grateful!"

"Everyone knows what we have experienced in Chinese football!"

"No matter how much I have achieved in Europe, I will always be a Chinese!"

"The recognition and love from the people and compatriots in my hometown has always been what I value the most!"

"The Ballon d'Or and Asian Footballer of the Year are just a recognition of my achievements in my career, and they are cold digital feedback!"

"But today's Chinese footballer is different."

"This award, although there was one before, has been interrupted for many years."

"This year, because of me, the Football Association re-established this award under the call of the media and fans, which is the recognition of me by the people of my hometown."

"We Chinese people all have the idea of honoring our ancestors and returning to our hometown, and I am no exception."

"No matter how much I have achieved outside, how many championships I have won, how many individual awards I have won, it will always be judged by foreigners."

"Only today, the recognition and encouragement from the compatriots of the motherland are what move me the most, I am proud of, and I am grateful."

"This land has nurtured me and educated me, and my heart has always been on this land, no matter where I am."

"I am only 20 years old now, as long as I am not injured and retire in the future, I will definitely lead Huaguo football to create more history and move towards a more brilliant future!"

Cheng Hai's passionate speech made many fans at the scene and watching the live broadcast burst into tears, and the scene also applauded, and everyone was moved by Cheng Hai's speech.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Hai, who usually doesn't say much, has such a strong patriotic feeling in his heart!

Originally, some people still complained that the Football Association was coerced by the media and fan public opinion, and after a few years, the re-establishment of Mr. Huaguo in addition to the best player in the Chinese Super League, thinking that this was to give Cheng Hai a privileged small stove.

But now that I have listened to Cheng Hai's speech, we are relieved to review his contributions to Chinese football and the more brilliant prospects that may be created in the future.

As the captain of the two national teams to lead the gold medal of the Asian Games, the first Asian Cup champion, the first Olympic champion, all three events are called the best scorer, the best player, Cheng Hai's achievements in Chinese football, absolutely worthy of the Football Association for him to reopen the selection of the Chinese Footballer alone.

In the thunderous applause of all the guests, Cheng Hai received the trophy of Mr. Chinese Footballer from the hands of Nian Weisi, a famous football legend in Huaguo.

So far, Cheng Hai has won the award of Player of the Year at the national and Asian levels, and only the FIFA Golden Ball Award is left.

With Cheng Hai's performance in leading the team to win the triple crown last season, if they can't win the Golden Globe Award, then this Golden Globe Award really doesn't need to exist.

The 2012 Chinese football feast came to an end, and Cheng Hai, his girlfriend and parents attended the reception dinner held by the host Yangcheng Evergrande.

The next day, Cheng Hai said goodbye to his parents and returned to Germany with Aniya.

After returning to Germany, Cheng Hai did not have time to rest and train, so he immediately went to the away side with the team to participate in the 11th round of the Bundesliga Dortmund away against Augsburg on November 10.

That is, Cheng Hai's ability to enter a deep sleep at any time, so that he can still participate in such an away game and start after flying back and forth for most of the world so repeatedly.

Of course, flying back and forth to receive the award in China and away from home, Cheng Hai's on-field state was inevitably affected.

Even so, Cheng Hai still completed a performance of goals and an assist away from home, leading Dortmund to a 3-1 away win over Augsburg, and retreated to continue to lead the standings.

Although Bayern Munich won the game in this round, they can still only finish second behind Borussia Dortmund in the standings.

Flew back to China to receive the Huaguo Footballer of the Year award, returned to Germany to participate in an away game in the 11th round of the Bundesliga, and after contributing a goal and an assist, Cheng Hai flew back to China.

Because, Cheng Hai's next game is the sixth round of the top 10 matches in the Asian region of the World Preliminary Championships, the match between the Chinese national team and Lebanon.

Although the Chinese national team has an extremely obvious lead in the standings, this is only the 6th round of the game, and it is still very early to qualify.

Therefore, even if he continued to toss back and forth like this, Cheng Hai did not complain.

As he said when he received the Chinese Footballer of the Year, he is doing his best to lead Chinese football to create a bigger and more brilliant future.

However, flying back and forth over half the world to participate in the competition still had a great impact on Cheng Hai's state of the game after all.

Although his full physical strength and the ability to enter the system dream training at any time to sleep deeply allowed him to insist on playing this game against Lebanon, Cheng Hai's strength may not have been half exerted in the game.

In addition, of course, it rained heavily during the game, which had a great impact on the game.

In the end, the Chinese team won a narrow 1-0 victory at home.

And the goal scored by the Huaguo team was not scored by Cheng Hai, not even an assist.

But that ball was scored by Cheng Hai after the ball was broken in the backfield, and finally the forward Yu Hai assisted the striker Gao Lin to score.

Cheng Hai's offensive performance in this game was mediocre, and it can even be said that it was a little bad.

Fortunately, he played the forward position in the national football team, in addition to the attack launched by this long pass, he ran in the midfield in a wide range, swept the defense, or made a great contribution to the defense of the Chinese national team, so that Lebanon did not score a goal in the end.

The most important thing is that Cheng Hai returned to China twice a week, and participated in a Bundesliga away game in the middle, and he was able to play at such a level in this world preliminaries, and he couldn't knock the ball more.

Therefore, after the game, neither the Chinese media nor the European and American media spoke ill of Cheng Hai, but many media and fans praised Cheng Hai's performance.

In this case, if it were someone else, there would be no other way than to give up a match for the club or national team.

Even if you barely participate, it is absolutely disastrous, and it is impossible to start both games like Cheng Hai and have a good performance.

In another group game later on, Iran at home capsized in the gutter and were overturned 1-0 by Uzbekistan away from home.

As a result, in addition to the first six rounds of the Chinese team won all five games (including the fourth round of byes) and accumulated 15 points to rank first in the standings, the second to fifth places are Iran with 6 points, Uzbekistan with 5 points, South Korea with 4 points and Lebanon with 4 points.

The gap between the fifth and second places is only 2 points, and it can be turned around in one game.

In addition to the Huaguo team, which is in first place and has almost secured a qualifying place, the other four teams are competing for the only second-place qualifying spot, and the success of the group of death is simply too worthy of the name.

It's a little more colourful than the Champions League group stage of the Champions League group stage of Group D.

Of course, this is none of Cheng Hai's business.

Although he didn't score or assist, and the Huaguo team only won by one goal, a win is a win, and he got 3 points, and the Huaguo team is almost nine out of ten to qualify for the World Cup.

Although physically and mentally exhausted, Cheng Hai can still return to Germany with a more relaxed mind and participate in club competitions.

On November 17, in the 12th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund hosted Fürth.

Cheng Hai, who has traveled back and forth twice from Germany to China, still started this game.

And it's the same as when I participated in the national football world preliminaries, and the state is very poor.

But unlike the national football game, the strength of the national football teammates was too weak, and in the end they only won 1-0 against the opponent, while his teammates in Dortmund were too strong.

Even without Cheng Hai, they can easily defeat a downstream relegation team like Fürth.

In this game, not only did Lewandowski score a brace and Reus added the icing on the cake, but Gundogan also used a wonderful breakthrough to break into the penalty area, force the opposing defender to foul, and create a penalty for Cheng Hai.

Originally, Cheng Hai didn't want to be punished, but Gundogan must let Cheng Hai be punished, and Cheng Hai finally went to the penalty spot.

Gundogan wants to help Cheng Hai get back in shape.

Cheng Hai lived up to expectations, and his shooting skills did not make any mistakes in this penalty kick, and he kicked the ball firmly into the corner of the goal.

In the end, Dortmund beat Fürth 4-1 at home to continue to lead the standings.

After the game, the happy news came.

In another Bundesliga match that started and ended at the same time, Bayern Munich challenged Nuremberg away, but were held to a 1-1 draw by their opponents.

Bayern are five points behind Borussia Dortmund and are finally starting to fall behind.

And Dortmund, who won 12 consecutive wins in the opening game, has become a nightmare for many teams.

After this Bundesliga, Cheng Hai can finally rest for two days with peace of mind. However, his journey has not stopped.

Because, the next game is away again, and it is to go to the Netherlands to play Ajax.

On November 21, in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Dortmund challenged Ajax away.

Although it is away again, and it is only four days before the last game, it is not flying half the world to Asia after all, and Cheng Hai's form has recovered from the previous games.

Ajax, who finished fifth in the group, are desperate to win at home and finish second in the group to qualify for the knockout rounds.

But Dortmund have been too strong this season.

Many people ignore Dortmund's strength because of Cheng Hai. But in fact, in addition to Cheng Hai, Lewandowski, Gundogan, Reus, and Mario Gotze in Dortmund's team are all quite strong players.

In this game, Cheng Hai scored a goal and an assist, and his performance was average and even a little poor.

It can only be said that it is better than the previous games.

But other players have made up for the impact of Cheng Hai's poor form.

Robert Lewandowski scored another brace, with Gotze and Reus netting a goal each.

In the end, Dortmund defeated Ajax 5-2 away to win five consecutive group stage victories and lock up the top spot in the group with 15 points.

In the other group game, Manchester City drew 1-1 with Real Madrid at home.

After five rounds, Dortmund won all five games and accumulated 15 points to lock up the first place in the group, Real Madrid ranked second with 7 points, Ajax was third with 4 points, and Manchester City was fourth with 2 points.

Manchester City have been knocked out of the Champions League group stage and will not be able to qualify for the round of 16.

However, in the final round, they still have a chance to finish third in their group and play in the knockout stages of the Europa League.

The battle between Real Madrid and Ajax for second place in the group will continue until the final round.

The final round of matches is a head-to-head clash between Real Madrid and Ajax, who can finish second in their group and advance to the round of 16 if they can beat Real Madrid by a big margin.

Back in China, on November 24, in the 13th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund played away against Mainz, and Cheng Hai's form continued to recover.

In this game, Cheng Hai scored a brace and scored two goals to help beat Mainz 3-1 away and continue to lead the standings.

Although Bayern Munich beat their opponents 5-0 in this round, they were helpless against Dortmund's winning streak.

Borussia Dortmund have already started the season with an astonishing 13 consecutive wins, making the best start to the history of the top five leagues.

That's not the end of it, though.

On November 27, 2012, in the 14th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund sat at home and faced the downstream team Fortuna Dusseldorf.

In this home game, Cheng Hai finally returned to his peak state and ushered in a big explosion in the cheering of the home fans.

In the 7th minute of the opening game, Cheng Hai received a side cross from fullback Schmelzer that suddenly inserted an assist, turned and rose up after running over his head in the penalty area, and sent the ball into the goal of Fortuna Dusseldorf with a beautiful volley.

Cheng Hai opened the scoring to give Borussia Dortmund a 1-0 lead.

In the 25th minute, Fortuna Dusseldorf's counterattack was cut off, Dortmund counterattacked, Cheng Hai made a long-distance run past four people and then hit the goalkeeper again with a pick-and-shoot against Fortuna Dusseldorf.

In the 43rd minute, it was Cheng Hai's long-distance run and continuous breakthrough, forcing the opponent's defender to make a tactical foul at the front of the big penalty area and pulling Cheng Hai to the ground.

But the foul didn't stop Cheng Hai's goal.

Because, with a perfect arc, he sent this free kick directly into the dead corner of the opponent's goal.

Cheng Hai scored a hat-trick in the first half and was fully restored.

In the second half, Fortuna Dusseldorf scored a goal in the 68th minute through their striker Reisinger to pull a point back to make it 3-1.

However, not long after scoring this goal, Fortuna Dusseldorf's defender Paulvich received a yellow card again for a tactical foul on Cheng Hai, two yellows turned into one red, and was directly sent off the field by the referee.

The strength was not good, and there was one less person to fight.

So, in the 80th minute, Cheng Hai cooperated with his teammates in the front court, and got a gap about 22 meters away from the goal outside the penalty area, and hit a powerful long-range shot outside the penalty area and sent the ball into the goal of Fortuna Dusseldorf.

In the end, the score of this game was 4-1, and Cheng Hai fully recovered, scoring all four goals of Dortmund's game and staging a big four.

Borussia Dortmund also won 14 consecutive Bundesliga games to continue to lead the Bundesliga standings and continue their all-time best opening streak.
