Chapter 62: Header
The media will not wait for the WADA test results to come out before releasing the explosive news that Cheng Hai ran a 100-meter run of 9.56 seconds.
If you wait for that result to come out before it is announced, the daylily will be cold.
In any world competition, the results of the competition are reported as soon as possible, and if there is a problem with the doping test results, the honor will be withdrawn.
Therefore, on the night of December 1 and the next day, the whole world was swiped by the news of Cheng Hai's 100 meters and 9.56 seconds.
If Cheng Hai was just a superstar in football before, now it is known to the whole world.
The Olympic trapeze battle is one of the most watched events in the quadrennial Olympic Games, and there is no one.
It is the world's most well-known event and competition that tests the limits of human running speed.
The holder of the 100-meter world record is no worse known than any football superstar.
Even, the latest 100m world record holder Usain Bolt is more well-known than most football superstars, catching up with top football superstars such as Zidane and Beckham, but his earning power is not as good as these top football superstars.
This is the limitation of the commercialization of the project and the nationality of Bolt, if a Chinese person runs a 100-meter world record, it will definitely become a gold-absorbing machine!
It can be seen from the sensation and popularity caused by Liu Xiang, who is engaged in the unpopular 110-meter hurdles event, after winning the gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics, and the skyrocketing popularity and endorsement value.
Cheng Hai's formal 100-meter sprint test itself has attracted a lot of attention in China.
After all, the yellow race has never even run into the 10-second mark before, and some scientists even assert that the limit of the yellow race is 10 seconds.
As a result, now Cheng Hai not only ran into the 10-second mark under the supervision of so many people, but even directly broke Bolt's record, running a new world record of 9.56 seconds.
Although this record will not be officially recognized by the IAAF and Guinness World Records, it does not prevent this news from swiping the screen in China, whether it is TV, newspapers, radio, and online media, the news of Cheng Hai's 100m 9.56 seconds breaking the world record has been overwhelmingly reported.
"Cheng Hai completed the 100-meter formal test and broke Bolt's world record of 9.58 seconds in 9.56 seconds! γ
"The new world record of 9.56 seconds in the 100-meter dash was created by my country's football player Cheng Hai!" γ
"Cheng Hai set a new world record in the 100-meter sprint, shocking the world in 9.56 seconds! γ
It's a morale boost.
Not to mention the world record, the Chinese sprinter has never even entered the 10-second mark before, and the national record for the domestic 100-meter sprint is 10.17 seconds set by Zhou Wei in 1998.
It's been 12 years, and no one has broken this record, let alone approached the 10-second mark.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Hai, who is not a professional sprinter, suddenly appeared and ran a terrifying time of 9.56 seconds in 100 meters, becoming a world flyer and breaking the world record of Olympic champion Usain Bolt.
Liu Xiang, who is engaged in unpopular events, can become a top superstar in the domestic sports world, and the impact of Cheng Hai's 100-meter world record on the Chinese people is even more incomparable.
This time it is not limited to fans, countless netizens who are full of pride have discussed and worshiped Cheng Hai's world record in the comment area, post bar, forum, and QQ group of various news:
"Damn, when I woke up, how could the 100-meter world record be broken? Or are we Chinese? Or Cheng Hai, a football man who is not a professional sprinter? β
"Awesome! Cheng Hai is so talented and great that he has set a new world record in the 100-meter dash, and I never expected this day. β
"Holy, really? Isn't Cheng Hai playing football, how to run 100 meters and break the world record? β
"Which scientist said that yellow people can't run the 10-second mark? Now my face is swollen! β
"I'm not a fan, but Cheng Hai is so uplifting! I decided to fan him in the future and watch him play! β
In addition to foreign countries, fans and spectators from many Asian countries have also become fans of Cheng Hai.
Although the proportion is far less than that of Huaguo, Cheng Hai's record is after all a morale for the yellow race, so it can still be liked by many Asian fans.
As for countries such as Europe and the United States, only a few people have turned into fans of Cheng Hai, and most people are just surprised and treat this as a strange anecdote.
Some people even claim that the WADA test results have not yet come out, and Cheng Hai's results are not final.
In fact, these dead duck-billed racists, I am afraid that even if the anti-doping agency proves that Cheng Hai did not use any stimulants, they will not be convinced.
Either they feel that the doping used by Cheng Hai is too mysterious and cannot be detected by the current technical means. Or you will feel that Cheng Hai's result is not a sprint competition recognized by the IAAF, and he can't do it.
Whether you like it or not, approve or disapprove, it is undeniable that Cheng Hai has brushed his face hard in the media all over the world.
Even if it is not an official result, it is the 100-meter sprint that human beings attach the most importance to.
It is only natural that it can break Bolt's world record and definitely break the world record, attracting worldwide coverage and attention.
Of course, in Dortmund, Cheng Hai's support rate is absolutely very high.
After all, Cheng Hai himself is a player of Dortmund and one of the Dortmund double stars recognized by everyone, and Cheng Hai is one of the most popular players in Dortmund.
Now, while Cheng Hai has increased his fame by setting a new 100-meter world record, he has also made Dortmund famous all over the world.
As a result, Cheng Hai's support and fans in Dortmund have increased a lot.
In the fifth round of the UEFA Cup group stage match between Dortmund and Capadei on the evening of December 2, there were many more fans in the stands holding banners or slogans and portraits in support of Cheng Hai than in previous games.
Even if you cut out those overseas Chinese, the number of white fans who support Cheng Hai in Dortmund has skyrocketed a lot.
Cheng Hai's world record of 9.56 seconds in the 100 meters has indeed attracted many fans for him objectively.
Soon, at 8 o'clock in the evening, with the referee's whistle, Dortmund's home match against Ukrainian team Capadei in the fifth round of the 2010/2011 UEFA Cup group stage officially began.
Cheng Hai sat on the bench as usual.
Although his physical fitness has increased significantly compared to the beginning of the season, the sudden surge in speed has also increased his physical exertion in the game, and he cannot last for half the game.
Therefore, it is not possible to use the method of starting and halftime to make up for physical fitness like the national Olympic team did in the Asian Games.
Cheng Hai still had to sit on the bench honestly and wait for the opportunity to come off the bench in the second half.
Before this round of matches, Dortmund won two and drew two and ranked first in the group with 8 points, Sevilla won two wins, drew one and lost one with 7 points and ranked second in the group with goal difference, Paris Saint-Germain was third with 7 points, and Capadedi was at the bottom.
Sevilla and Paris Saint-Germain went head-to-head in Round 5, and as long as they were to split the winner, Dortmund would be four points clear of third place if they could beat Cappadi.
No matter how the final round is played, Dortmund will qualify early.
Therefore, Dortmund is very motivated in this game, which is to win at home, and then look at the result of Paris Saint-Germain vs Cappadi.
Five minutes into the game, Dortmund used a series of brilliant small-range combinations to send the ball into Capadi's penalty area.
The two strikers, Barrios and Zidan, ran in the box to contain many of the opposing defenders, resulting in striker Shinji Kagawa being left unguarded when he rushed into the box.
With no interference, Shinji Kagawa took the pass from Nuri Shahin without stopping the ball and shot low with his feet, which directly penetrated Cappadi's goal.
In just five minutes, Borussia Dortmund, who were playing at home, took the lead, and the Hornets fans in the stands were completely immersed in a sea of revelry.
However, Capadi, who had lost four consecutive defeats and was out of the group early, did not seem to be willing to leave in obscurity, and still wanted to save a little face.
Therefore, even if they faced Dortmund away from home, even if they knew that it was useless to win, they could not salvage their group exit, but Capadi's players did not fall into a circle of self-defeat after conceding the first goal, but fought back, not only more ferociously defensively, but also occasionally counter-attacked.
However, Cappadi's counter-attacks were not threatening, and they were often defused if they couldn't get into the Dortmund penalty area.
But on the other hand, they defended more aggressively and effectively than before, even receiving two yellow cards late in the first half.
In such a situation, although Capadei did not score, he also withstood Dortmund's attack, delaying the 1-0 score until half-time, only one goal behind.
After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Dortmund still wanted to make an opening attack, but Cappadi, who only took a trick in the first half, was vigilant this time and did not let Dortmund succeed.
However, Capadei struggled to counter-attack and was unable to find the back of the net as the score remained 1-0 until the 65th minute.
Cheng Hai was finally replaced by Klopp.
When Cheng Hai played the field, thunderous applause broke out at the scene, and countless fans shouted excitedly: "Cheng Hai, welcome back!" β
In this way, everyone welcomed Cheng Hai back to Europe and back to the club.
And Cheng Hai's performance did not disappoint everyone.
Although Capadei already knew Cheng Hai's name, he also knew that Cheng Hai had just set a new 100-meter world record with a speed of 9.56 seconds, and he was very prepared for Cheng Hai.
However, in the face of Cheng Hai's perverted speed, as well as skills such as dribbling and Matthews feints that are all added to the full value of perfection, Capadi's defenders are also helpless.
Even if they used two or three people to specifically guard Cheng Hai, there were other people to assist in the defense and strictly guard Cheng Hai.
However, they still didn't last long.
In the 72nd minute, Cheng Haicai came on the field for less than 10 minutes, and received a ball from his teammates from outside the penalty area with his back to the goal.
Cheng Hai was pulled and pushed by two of Capadei's defenders, making it impossible for him to turn around and shoot easily.
If it was before, Cheng Hai really had to pass the ball back to his teammates.
But now, Cheng Hai's 20-year-old dribbling skills allow him not to concede the ball easily even if he can't turn around and shoot.
So, after Cheng Hai received the ball, he used his full-value dribbling technique to shake it left and right twice, and suddenly shook off a gap, and then immediately half-turned and swept the ball towards the goal.
Cheng Hai did not pass the ball under the close defense of the opponent's two defenders and insisted on his choice to turn around and hit the goal, which was unexpected by the opposing defenders and did not prevent Cheng Hai's turning and shooting in time.
As a result, Cheng Hai swept the ball out, and the angle was very awkward.
Although goalkeeper Romanico made a save, he was still a little short of it, and he could only watch as the ball went into the net against the right post.
When the ball got into the net, the Dortmund TV commentator in the commentary box shouted excitedly:
βTooooooooooorβ¦β¦β
"Cheng Hai has scored!"
"After a month, Cheng Hai, who returned to the club, scored again at the Westfalen Stadium!"
"Cheng Hai's goal efficiency is too high!"
"Less than 10 minutes after coming on as a substitute, he scored the goal of Capadei!"
"Capadedi's defenders are helpless in the face of Cheng Hai's shot."
"It's too strong!"
"Long live Cheng Hai!"
On the field, Cheng Hai, who returned to Westfalen Stadium to score a goal after a month, was also very excited, and rushed to the sidelines to have an emotional kneeling celebration, which attracted the Hornets fans in the stands to be very excited and applaud Cheng Hai vigorously.
In China, countless fans who stayed up late to watch the live broadcast were also so excited that they applauded and cheered excitedly. As for how many family members were woken up and hammered by their families, it is unknown.
After scoring this goal to return to the club, Cheng Hai won a goal award of 30,000 experience, plus the previous training experience, Cheng Hai's total experience rose to level 21 2,008,100/2 million, and was automatically upgraded to level 22 0.81 million/3 million, and he got an upgrade reward of 30 skill points, and the balance of skill points increased to 62.
Then, in terms of the new skills that were randomly opened, Cheng Hai was lucky, and randomly opened the "header" skill, which is very important for the striker, with an initial attribute of 6, which is the level of ordinary amateur players.
The "Header" skill is combined with "Jump", and if both skills are added to the full value, it is very terrifying.
Therefore, Cheng Hai did not hesitate to spend 9 skill points first, adding the skills with two attributes of 5 and 6 to 10 at once, and then spending 20 skill points to increase both skills to 15, a total of 28 skill points were spent, and the balance of skill points was 33.
For the rest of the skill points, after Cheng Hai thought about it, he first spent 20 skill points to increase the bounce to 19, and then spent 10 skill points to increase the header to 17.
For Cheng Hai, who is less than 180cm tall, the importance of bounce is higher. Only if you jump higher in the battle for the top can you have the possibility of fighting for a header.
As for whether you can get in after the battle for the top, it will depend on luck later. Grabbing the first point is that being able to compete for success is a prerequisite factor.
Therefore, Cheng Hai increased the bounce to 19 and the header only to 17, which was tilted towards the bounce.
There's no way around it.
After all, the skill points are not enough, so you can only increase the bounce to the point where 19 is close to the full value first, and then add the skill points after the header.
Cheng Hai, who has another goalscoring skill, is even more full of expectations for the next game.
And Capadei may still be unwilling to lose after conceding two goals, so he stepped up his counterattack, wanting to score a goal to save a little face.
But this approach has given Cheng Hai more room to fight back.
If the opponent retreats in the backfield and is full of people inside and outside the penalty area, Cheng Hai's speed advantage is not quite able to play to its maximum effect.
And once Capadei attacks, and then Dortmund breaks the ball to counterattack, then Cheng Hai's speed advantage is very big.
If in the past, when playing counterattacks, teammates still needed to rack their brains to pass the ball that suited Cheng Hai's speed, then there is no need now.
As long as you don't send the ball directly to the goalkeeper, just pass it forward with your big foot.
Regardless of whether Cheng Hai can successfully counter offside when passing, he always overtakes the opponent's back line in the end and catches up with the ball first.
Cheng Hai's speed is too big an advantage on the court.
The difference in speed between 100 meters in 10 seconds and 100 meters in 12 seconds is that you will be thrown away by a distance of nearly 2 meters in one second.
Add to that the difference in running without the ball, the ability to grab points, and the speed of starting, and it's even more invincible.
In the 78th minute, it was Capadei's attack with the ball, but when it hit the front, Dortmund cut off the ball, and the ball was passed to the feet of the returning defender Owomoyela.
Owomoyela looked at the midfield, did not hesitate, and sent the ball to Cappadi's half with a long diagonal pass.
And when he passed the ball, Cheng Hai was still in his own half, and did not form an anti-offside position for the defense line composed of the opponent's two central defenders, and the distance between the two sides was about four or five meters.
However, at the moment of Owomoyela's pass, Cheng Hai's initiation reaction was faster than the opposing two defenders.
Secondly, Cheng Hai is facing the attacking defence, while Capadi's two central defenders are facing away from their goal.
Add to that the difference in speed.
As a result, what the audience saw was that after Owomoyela completed the pass, Cheng Hai, who was still blocked by the two central defenders, completed the overtaking of the two defenders in less than two seconds, completed the anti-offside position, and chased Owomoyela's pass.
When Cheng Hai ran past one of the central defenders, the central defender originally wanted to reach out and pull Cheng Hai down directly, even if it was a yellow card.
As a result, unexpectedly, Cheng Hai's soaring speed matched his full-value physique, and the defender's pull didn't even affect Cheng Hai's figure, and he was thrown away.
Cheng Hai left in the dust, leaving a desperate back for the two defenders.
The next thing is simple, although Owomoyela's pass is a little bigger, and when Cheng Hai catches up with the ball, the goalkeeper who attacked has already stopped in front of Cheng Hai, and the distance is quite close.
There is no way to hang and shoot, but this can't stop Cheng Hai, because his Matthews feints are added to the full value.
