King of the Zone

In just 3 minutes of the opening, Cheng Hai broke through Granero and Pepe consecutively in the frontcourt, causing chaos in Real Madrid's defense.

As a result, Cheng Hai sent the ball to the gap on the other side of the court before the Real Madrid generals rushed forward.

Mario Gotze adjusted a step after receiving Cheng Hai's pass, and then kicked the goal from the penalty area line.

Because Real Madrid's defense was attracted by Cheng Hai, Gotze caught the ball and hit the goal almost without defense. The quality was high, the strength was great, and the speed was fast, but the angle was a little bit lacking. In the end, Casillas struggled to throw it out.

That is to say, the world's top goalkeeper like Casillas. If it is replaced by another person, Goetze might score the goal.

Even so, it scared the players and fans of Real Madrid enough.

And, it wasn't over yet, as Casillas didn't hold the ball, but managed to save it over the baseline and Dortmund won a corner.

In this corner kick attack, although Cheng Hai failed to get the first point under the double-team defense of Ramos, Pepe, Khedira and others, Real Madrid missed the defense of Dortmund central defender Subotic who rushed up to participate in the corner kick.

Seeing that everyone in the middle failed to win the header, the ball flew to the back point, and then was headed towards the goal by Dortmund central defender Subotic, who was wearing No. 4, the Real Madrid fans raised their throats.

As a result, Subotic's header from the back point hit the top of the crossbar, and then popped out of the baseline.

Although the goal was still missed, it was only 3 minutes into the game, and Dortmund played two extremely threatening attacks in succession, which has already let the Real Madrid generals and fans, known as the Galaxy Battleship, see the danger of this expedition to the Westfalenstadion.

Everyone's heart is heavy.

But there is no way, the game has to continue.

Real Madrid has bright stars and many superstars, and they originally played offensive football.But after Mourinho, a defensive expert, arrived at Real Madrid, Real Madrid strengthened their defense, and even played a defensive counterattack in this game.

This has already foreshadowed the fact that Real Madrid has less offense and more defense in this game.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that the progress of the game would be so surprising.Known as the Galactic Battleship, Real Madrid did not play defensive counterattacks at the Westfalenstadion, but almost only defensive and no counterattacks.

Because Dortmund, led by Cheng Hai, launched a crazy attack on Real Madrid.

With full stamina, Cheng Hai covered Real Madrid's entire half of the court. Not only did Real Madrid feel the horror of Cheng Hai in terms of offense, but he spared no effort in defending and pressing, which also greatly hindered Real Madrid's occasional steals and counterattacks.

This is also the reason why everyone saw that Real Madrid had almost no offense after this game.

Not to mention not many counterattacks, and Real Madrid did not do a watertight defense.

In the 9th minute, after several failed attacks, Dortmund finally opened the scoring and broke Real Madrid's goal.

And the one who scored the goal was Cheng Hai, whom Real Madrid had tried their best to defend against.

Because of Cheng Hai's strength, after increasing his physical fitness and arc, he was really hard to guard against.

In this attack, Cheng Hai received a pass from his teammate after changing position to the wing, and broke through the full-back Arbeloa with a rainbow that applauded the fans.

Although Casillas reacted quickly and made a save response, he still failed to touch the ball in the end. The ball circled past his fingertips, circled into the goal frame, and flew into the goal against the far post.

When Cheng Hai didn't know how to shoot in an arc, the shot from this position didn't hit an arc. In order to hit the goal frame, Casillas' save just now could touch the ball and save the ball out of the baseline.

But because Cheng Hai has learned arc shooting, and the arc skill has been added to the full value, the arc is very large, so even Casillas, who is the world's top goalkeeper and has a very quick on-the-spot reaction, barely missed the ball.

The ball bypassed San Casey's ten fingers and flew into Real Madrid's goal.

Cheng Hai opened the scoring for Dortmund with an arc shot after a cut in. Dortmund led Real Madrid 1-0.

When Cheng Hai shot the ball into Real Madrid's goal with an arc shot, not only the fans, but also the commentators in the commentary booth roared loudly.

Because this is not only Cheng Hai's first goal for Dortmund, but also Cheng Hai's 20th Champions League goal this season.

Cheng Hai raised the Champions League single-season personal scoring record to the 20-goal mark.

Therefore, the commentators were very excited, and shouted with the loudest voice the moment Cheng Hai scored:
"Gooooooooooooooooooooooal..."

"The ball is in!"

"Cheng Hai scored a goal!"

"Dortmund lead 1-0!"

"The 20th ball!"

"This is Cheng Hai's 20th Champions League goal this season!"

"Cheng Hai broke through the mark of over 20 goals in a single season!"

"Cheng Hai raised the Champions League single-season personal scoring record to more than 20 goals!"

"This is an unprecedented record and level!"

"It's simply unbelievable!"

"so amazing!"

"As expected of the world's number one striker, Cheng Hai was born to break all kinds of records!"

"Real Madrid can't stop Cheng Hai at all."

Indeed, Real Madrid could not stop Cheng Hai from scoring goals.This ball is just the beginning.

After Cheng Hai scored the first goal, Real Madrid stepped up their marking on him.

However, the current Cheng Hai was no longer something his opponent could defend against if he wanted to.

Because Cheng Hai himself has full acceleration and speed, now that he has full physical fitness, he can support him to run around the field at a speed far exceeding that of the players on the field.

Coupled with his full-value off-the-ball running and grabbing ability, he is much more sensitive to finding gaps and offensive opportunities than ordinary players.

A full-value skill is incredible, and many full-value skills naturally make Cheng Hai more pervasive and comfortable in the game. Even if Real Madrid desperately defends, they are still no match for Cheng Hai's offensive ability.

Less than 15 minutes after the first goal, Cheng Hai scored another goal in the 22nd minute.

This time it was different from the first goal. Instead, Cheng Hai directly broke through the defense of three Real Madrid players in the middle through his own breakthrough and collaborating with his teammate to hit the wall. He blocked the collision of Ramos behind him on the penalty area line, kicked the ball into the bottom left corner of the goal with an explosive volley.

Cheng Hai's long-range shooting, shooting skills, and shooting power allow him to hit the ball with great force, super fast speed, and tricky angle even if he doesn't hit an arc, making Casillas unable to catch it.

In the 22nd minute of the first half, Cheng Hai scored twice to help Dortmund take a 2-0 lead.

For Real Madrid, the situation has become extremely dire.

Not to mention whether Cheng Hai and Dortmund will score goals in the future, just two goals behind now is enough to make Real Madrid's promotion situation very, very serious.

Two goals behind, not so easy to come back.

Therefore, Real Madrid, who were originally playing a defensive counterattack, had no choice but to take the initiative to attack Dortmund's hinterland under the command of Mourinho.

However, in order to curb the offense of Cheng Hai and Dortmund, the starting players sent by Mourinho were mostly defensive players, and they still played in a 4231 formation, which seriously lacked offensive strength.

In addition, Cheng Hai withdrew to his own half to help defend, and his pressing speed, defensive positioning, and stealing ability supported by his full physical fitness made Real Madrid's offense unable to even get within 30 meters of Dortmund, so it was cut off.

Then it will be counterattacked by Dortmund.

Although Real Madrid attaches great importance to the defense against Dortmund's counterattack, Cheng Hai's role is too prominent, making Real Madrid's defensive strength stretched and full of loopholes.

Although it successfully destroyed and prevented Dortmund's counterattacks several times, but the number of counterattacks was too many, Real Madrid's defense would always be unable to withstand loopholes.

In the 38th minute, Real Madrid's offense made a pass error under Cheng Hai's pressure and was cut off by Dortmund just after hitting the center line. Many Dortmund players advanced collectively and played a quick counterattack.

When the ball was passed to Cheng Hai on the right, Marcelo, Ramos, Khedira, Di Maria and many other Real Madrid players all involuntarily double-teamed Cheng Hai.

Because they really didn't dare to let Cheng Hai break through all the way.

As a result, Di Maria, the first player to rob, was not proficient in defense at all, and was easily broken by Cheng Hai on a bicycle.

Then, before Marcelo, Ramos, and Khedira surrounded him together, Cheng Hai suddenly kicked up and made a long pass in the air, sending the ball to the area outside the left side of Real Madrid's penalty area.

Everyone looked in the direction of the ball's flight, only to find that Real Madrid's defense was completely empty, and Mario Gotze, who was plugging in at high speed, was completely unguarded.

Because this was a quick counterattack, and Real Madrid lacked defensive personnel, most of them were attracted by Cheng Hai's dribbling breakthrough, and the other side of the court was naturally empty.

And Cheng Hai's long-distance passing ability in the air is also at full value.

Therefore, there is no suspense in this counterattack.

Mario Gotze easily unloaded Cheng Hai's precise long pass transfer without any defense, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and kicked the ball into the far corner of the goal before Pepe rushed to block the angle of the shot.

In the 38th minute, Cheng Hai assisted Mario Gotze to score another goal, and Dortmund took a 3-0 lead.

The first half is not over yet, Real Madrid has been forced to the edge of the cliff.

But what is surprising is that Mourinho on the sidelines not only did not allow the team to continue aggressively attacking, but instead pressed down with both hands, signaling the players to calm down, insist on strengthening the defense, and stop aggressively counterattacking like just now, and then being counterattacked by the opponent.

Although such instructions made it impossible for Real Madrid to score goals, they did strengthen the defense. Although Cheng Hai still ran all over the court, covering all areas inside and outside the penalty area from the center to the side, but because Real Madrid had too many people in the backcourt, neither Cheng Hai nor Dortmund could break Real Madrid's goal again.

After 1 minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half. The two sides entered the intermission with a score of 3-0. Dortmund, who were playing at home, temporarily took a three-goal lead with Cheng Hai's two shots and one pass.

In fact, the advantage of this score is already huge. No matter what Real Madrid does or how Mourinho has his wrists, the chances of regaining the three-goal deficit are very slim.

Therefore, during the intermission, many commentators believed that Real Madrid had almost bid farewell to the final ahead of schedule, and it was impossible to make a comeback.

Unexpectedly, after a 15-minute break, when the second half was about to start, Real Madrid made substitution adjustments.

Forward Ozil replaced midfielder Granero, midfielder Kaka replaced midfielder Khedira, forward Higuain replaced full-back Arbeloa.

In this way, Real Madrid's back line is only left with defenders Marcelo, Ramos, and Pepe, and the midfield is full of offensive players Ronaldo, Di Maria, Kaka, and Nuri Shaheen. Only Shaheen barely has a certain defensive ability.

The striker has changed from a forward Benzema to Ozil, Benzema, and Higuain.

Real Madrid's horrifying serial trio at halftime changed from a 4231 defensive counterattack formation to a 343 mad attack formation, or a 3133 formation. Nuri Shaheen, who was slightly behind Kaka, was also the core of the organization who was stronger in offense than defense.

Even Marcelo and Ramos among the guards are also guards with knives, and only Pepe is a pure defensive player.

In other words, in addition to the goalkeeper, Real Madrid has 9 offensive players out of ten players.

Mourinho is going crazy!
The commentators all crazily explained in the commentary booth:
"Mourinho is crazy. He took off three defensive players and put on three offensive players. He played a 343 attacking formation."

"When we thought that Real Madrid had a high probability of being eliminated, the madman Mourinho showed his crazy side."

"He made a desperate change with seven attacking players, and Ramos and Marcelo are also the type of players who attack more than defend."

"Real Madrid is going to attack with all their might!"

"I estimate that the second half will be a duel between Mars and Earth!"

"Dortmund may not be able to withstand the collective attack of so many superstars in Real Madrid. Even if Cheng Hai participates in the defense."

Sure enough, as soon as the second half started, Real Madrid used the kick-off to launch a crazy attack on Dortmund's half.

The players of Real Madrid are not the veterans of AC Milan and Chelsea. They are all in their twenties and at the peak of their careers.

As the commentators said, Dortmund's defense has been greatly challenged.

Even if Cheng Hai withdrew to the backcourt and used his full defensive position, steals, speed, and physical fitness to help defend, he still couldn't stand it.

The personal abilities of Real Madrid's stars are too strong.

No matter how strong Cheng Hai's defensive ability is, he is only one person after all, and the opponent only needs to avoid him.

As for the other Dortmund players, most of them couldn't withstand the impact of the Real Madrid superstars in one-on-one situations.

After a few minutes of extremely difficult defense, Dortmund's goal was finally broken by Real Madrid in the 53rd minute.

The one who scored the goal was Cristiano Ronaldo, who created the world's most expensive transfer fee.

He first stepped on a bicycle to break through Shinji Kagawa after taking the ball from the wing, and then sent the ball to Kaka in the middle.

After a few passes, the ball reached Ozil on the left.

As a result, when the full-back Schmelzer went to defend him, Ozil dodged the gap near the bottom line of the penalty area and then made an inverted triangle pass, sending the ball to the line of the penalty area.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who broke through Shinji Kagawa by riding a bicycle just now, appeared there at some point. Before Hummels rushed from the side, he volleyed the ball vigorously and finally kicked the ball into Dortmund's goal.

Real Madrid finally pulled one back and scored a golden away goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates celebrated fiercely, and Mourinho on the sidelines also galloped for more than 20 meters along the sideline, and then came to a passionate slide rail celebration, which caused a burst of curses and boos from the diehard Hornets fans in the stands.

But how could Mourinho care about these?
As the most famous personality coach in the world, Mourinho is accompanied by flowers and applause wherever he goes.

It feels very different to be three goals behind than to be two behind.What's more, Real Madrid also scored an away goal.

Therefore, this goal not only allowed Real Madrid to narrow the score gap, but also gave Ronaldo, Kaka and others strong confidence.

If we work harder and score one or two more goals, even if we can't reverse the total score, but we can score two or three away goals, then the return to the Bernabeu Stadium in the second round will obviously be of great benefit to Real Madrid.

On the other hand, Dortmund's morale will be lowered.

The game that was thought to be a surefire game, turned out to be a subtle change in the game situation because the opponent had three players in a row.

Klopp frowned and thought for a while, then made substitution adjustments.

He replaced the midfielder Jing Duoan with the midfielder Bender, let Cheng Hai play Jing Duoan's position, and changed to 4231 to strengthen the defense.

In fact, in these two games, Cheng Hai was no longer a pure shadow forward, but had become a free man.

His abnormal physical fitness and strength on both ends of the offense and defense allow him to gallop all over the court and make great contributions on both ends of the offense and defense.

Therefore, it is actually more appropriate to let him play the midfielder position than the shadow forward.Moreover, Klopp also hopes that Bender's playing can strengthen Dortmund's defense and curb Real Madrid's offensive.

After the game restarted, Bender's playing and Cheng Hai's position retreated did raise Dortmund's defense to a higher level.

In addition, Real Madrid's players do not have Cheng Hai's perverted breakthrough and shooting skills. Even if they sometimes get a chance to shoot, it is difficult to hit within the range of the goal frame to form an effective threat.

Dortmund finally temporarily curbed Real Madrid's indiscriminate bombing.
