King of the Zone

The next day, on the morning of August 8th, after Cheng Hai woke up after completing the dream training, his experience rose to level 15 at 15/10.06, and he automatically upgraded to level 10 at 16 million/0.06.

As for the new skills, the system randomly turned on "balance" for Cheng Hai.

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

Perhaps affected by the full physique, Cheng Hai's "balance" attribute is not bad, with an initial attribute of 7 points.

If this skill is added to the full value, coupled with the full value of the physique, Cheng Hai may 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 "Balance" from 7 to 15, leaving 8 skill points remaining.

Then, after thinking about the remaining 8 skill points, Cheng Hai added 5 of them to "Ball Stopping", turning 17 stop balls into 18, leaving 3 skill points remaining.

Now Cheng Hai mainly runs out of space to catch the ball and shoot. Ball control and breakthrough are not within his style of play for the time being. Therefore, whether it is dribbling or Matthews fake action, relatively speaking, "stopping the ball" is more important.

After upgrading and adding points, Cheng Hai's basic attributes and skills become:

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

After a day off, the team continued training.

On August 8, the first day of the first round of the UEFA Cup playoffs, Cheng Hai's German skills were finally unlocked. Cheng Hai basically mastered the listening, speaking, reading and writing skills of most of the German used in daily life.

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

Up to now, Cheng Hai has no problems communicating with his teammates at all. Even real Germans like Klopp, Weidenfeller, and Kyle feel that Cheng Hai's German skills are no different from ordinary Germans.

If you closed your eyes and listened to Cheng Hai without looking at his skin color, you would think Cheng Hai was a German!
However, although he had fully learned German, Fu Hangyi was not in a hurry to go back.

Because tomorrow is the first round of the UEFA Cup play-offs, Cheng Hai's first UEFA Cup match in his career, and also his first professional game at home in Westfalen.

Three days after finishing the first round of the UEFA Cup play-offs, it was the first round of the Bundesliga where Dortmund played at home against Leverkusen.

Therefore, Fu Hangyi was going to return to China after watching these two heavyweight matches.

In addition, during this period of time, countless agents came to find Cheng Hai, and Fu Hangyi was also responsible for screening agents for Cheng Hai.

However, Cheng Hai, the ordinary agent who came to recommend himself before, didn't like it.

With Cheng Hai's performance in friendly matches getting better and better, when he made his career debut a few days ago and scored a goal in the first show, the biggest agent in Germany recommended by captain Kyle appeared.

This agent is called Baker, and the biggest player under his banner is the captain of the German national team, Ballack. He is a very capable guy, with tentacles all over Germany and extending to the five major leagues. He is very expert in player transfers, contract renewal negotiations, and commercial endorsements.

Therefore, these days, Fu Hangyi is representing Cheng Hai in a tug-of-war negotiation with Baker. It is estimated that in a few days, the terms and conditions will be confirmed and the contract will be signed. Afterwards, matters such as follow-up contracts, transfers, and commercial endorsements can be handed over to Baker.

After all, Fu Hangyi is not a professional.

Before Cheng Hai became famous, it was okay for Fu Hangyi to be a German teacher and guest assistant.

But after Cheng Hai became famous, not only contract renewals, transfers, commercial endorsements, but also charity, social image design, etc. were involved in the future, and this was not something that Fu Hangyi could solve.

Also, he couldn't solve it.

He is a teacher at Yuzhou University, and school will start soon, and it is not a football agent who is going back to class.

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

And with his current fiery state, it is only natural that he can 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 has a good performance in tomorrow's UEFA Cup match, such as scoring a goal, he is sure that Baker will accept their conditions.

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

As long as Cheng Hai showed sufficient level and value, Baker would accept even if the broker's share was lower.

Soon, the time came to the night of August 8th. The Westfalen Stadium was full of seats. Dortmund was about to usher in the first round of the UEFA Cup play-off match against the Azerbaijan Super League team Karabak.

Baker and Fu Hangyi sat in the seat with the best view with his assistant from his agency, 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 complete the goal in this game, he will agree to the signing conditions proposed by Cheng Hai.

A player who entered professional football at the age of 18, scored goals in his career debut, scored goals in his UEFA Cup debut, and has proven himself deserves a reduction in his agent's share.

Otherwise, the two sides will have to bargain again.

In the expectation of Baker and others, at 2010:8 local time on August 19, 21, amidst the cheers of the audience and the whistle of the referee, the match between Dortmund and Karabak (Azerbaijan) in the first round of the 00/2010 UEFA Cup play-off match officially began.

Naturally, Cheng Hai sat on the bench as usual. He is not qualified to start because of his lack of fitness.

Sometimes, Cheng Hai even can't help but wonder: Will he never get the skill of "physical fitness", and then he will always play as a substitute due to physical reasons, 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 it!

Moreover, maybe it is really possible to realize this situation!
Because there are too many abilities involved in football, various physical fitness, basic skills, shooting skills, breakthrough skills, passing and receiving skills, defensive skills, goalkeeping skills, etc., are countless.

Every time the system unlocks new skills randomly, "Physical Fitness" is just one of many skills, and it is entirely possible that it cannot be unlocked after a season.

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

To be able to reach the UEFA Cup playoffs, Qarabag's strength is still considered good.However, facing Dortmund, one of the top five leagues in the Bundesliga, Qarabag has no power to resist at all.

Although they defended and counterattacked desperately, they still couldn't stop Dortmund's attack, nor could they break through Dortmund's defense.

In the 13th minute, winger Kagawa Shinji and his teammates played a wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt, and then sent the ball into the goal with a volley from the penalty area.

Dortmund lead Qarabag 1-0.

In the 21st minute, full-back Schmelzer suddenly jumped in from the side at high speed. After hitting the wall twice with Nuri Shaheen, Goetze and others, he broke through Karabak's side defense and then made a cross from the bottom.

Center Barrios successfully fought for the top in the middle, grabbed the first point, and with a powerful head shake, he headed the ball into Karabag's goal.

Dortmund lead 2-0 at home.

In the 29th minute, Dortmund got a corner kick, and Barrios successfully competed for the top in the penalty area. He headed the ball into Qarabag's goal again, scored twice with a header, and helped Dortmund lead 3-0.

Everyone knows that not only is the game stable, but even the second round of the play-offs has lost suspense. The team from Azerbaijan can't stop Dortmund from entering the UEFA Cup. There is no chance at all.

However, even so, Dortmund's goals still did not stop.

Before the end of the first half, in the 41st minute, the midfielder Nuri Shaheen took a free kick in the front court with a wonderful arcing free kick and pierced Qarabag's goal.

Dortmund took a 4-0 lead.

The big picture is set.

So at half-time Klopp substituted both Barrios and Sahin for Lewandowski and Feuerner in preparation for the next Bundesliga game against Bayer Leverkusen.

After Shaheen left the field, Shinji Kagawa moved from the winger to the center to replace Shaheen as the midfielder.

Shinji Kagawa, who also joined this summer, is not good at organizing and dispatching in the midfielder position. Coupled with the 4-0 lead, his teammates also slowed down their offensive.

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

Finally, in the 72nd minute, Klopp replaced Cheng Hai, the No. 9 striker that everyone was looking forward to.

Cheng Hai finally set foot on the field of UEFA Cup.

Similarly, for Dortmund, which is already leading 4-0, it doesn't matter what Cheng Hai does after the field and whether he can score goals.

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

Therefore, even though the team had a big lead and his teammates were not motivated enough to attack, Cheng Hai was still running with all his strength, striving for every possible chance to shoot.

It's a pity that although the opponent has fallen behind by a large score, the game is not over, and there is still a second round of the game.

Although there is little hope, there is still a little hope after all.

Therefore, while doing their best to counterattack, Karabag still pays attention to their defensive line defense.

For Cheng Hai, a well-known No. 9 player, Karabaker's coach gave the players an explanation before the game.

Therefore, after Cheng Hai came off the bench, he was closely marked by the opponent, and there were not many opportunities to get it.

In the 75th minute, Cheng Hai almost turned offside and succeeded in getting a one-handed chance. Unfortunately, Shinji Kagawa, who was holding the ball, passed the ball a little bit late, causing Cheng Hai to be offside.

Otherwise, Cheng Hai might have a chance to make a single shot.

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

Although Cheng Hai completed the shot, there were too many people in the penalty area, and his shot was subconsciously stretched out by the opponent's defender, stabbing him out of the penalty area to clear the siege.

For Karabag, if they can score an away goal in this game and change the score to 4-1, then there is still a little hope for the second round. As long as they win 3-0, they can advance with the advantage of more away goals.

Therefore, even though it is in the terrifying Westfalenstadion, despite the threats of Cheng Hai, Lewandowski and others, Karabag is still trying his best to counterattack and want to score an away goal.

Sometimes, however, the result is just the opposite.

So, in constant attempts, the time came to the 84th minute, and Karabak launched another side attack.

As a result, after the ball hit the frontcourt of the wing, it failed to break through the defense of the full-back Schmelzer. Instead, Schmelzer made a decisive and quick grab, poked the ball off the foot of the Qarabag winger, and then quickly stepped forward to control the ball, and then passed it to Gotze on the wing.

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, Mario Gotze took the ball and rushed on the wing, passed the opponent's full-back Shadi Goff with a delicate ball, and then made a pass from the bottom.

In the middle, Lewandowski, who came off the bench, rushed to the penalty area like Cheng Hai.It's just that Lewand's speed is faster than Cheng Hai's, and his position is a little ahead of Cheng Hai's, while Cheng Hai's is a few steps behind Lewand's.

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

Like Cheng Hai, Lewandowski is also a rookie and a substitute. He also wants to score goals!

Therefore, Lewandowski's movement in this counterattack was very timely, and he really resisted the collision of the opponent's central defender in the penalty area, successfully took off to grab the first point, shook his head and hit the goal, and headed Gotze's cross to the goal.

At the moment when Lewandowski grabbed the first point and shook his head and headed the ball towards the goal, Cheng Hai, who followed behind and just ran to the top of the arc of the penalty area, relied on his 20 full-value off-ball running and grabbing points. He instinctively felt that the ball Lewandowski pushed out might hit the crossbar and bounce back into the penalty area.

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

The Karabag defender Aibaluff, who followed Cheng Hai back to the defense, was all focused on Lewandowski's header. He was a little caught off guard by Cheng Hai's sudden change of direction and couldn't keep up.

In the eyes of all the audience on the scene and in front of the TV, it was Dortmund who broke Kabarak's offense and played a wave of extremely fast fast breaks.

Mario Gotze made a breakthrough from the wing and made a pass from the bottom. Lewandowski and Cheng Hai followed up in the middle to grab the point. Kabarak, who was still attacking just now, had only two defenders to follow Lewandowski and Cheng Hai back to the penalty area.

Lewandowski then sprinted to the front of the box, ahead of his centre-back, and a lion headed the ball towards Kabalak's goal.

Cheng Hai, who followed up and headed straight for the goal, suddenly changed direction and rushed to the back of the small penalty area at the moment Lewandowski completed his header. The defender Aybaluff who followed him didn't react and was thrown away instantly.

The next thing everyone saw, Lewandowski's header flew diagonally towards the goal, went over the goalkeeper's palm, only to hit the crossbar and bounce back into the penalty area.

Many Dortmund fans who had stood up and prepared to celebrate the goal suddenly lamented, while a very small number of Kabarak away fans breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little lucky.

As a result, before they could make any more expressions and movements, they saw the ball hit the crossbar and bounced obliquely to the back of the small penalty area.

Then, a player wearing Dortmund's No. 9 jersey rushed nearby.

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

In the 84th minute of the game, Cheng Hai made a supplementary shot and sent the ball back into the penalty area after Lewandowski's header. When he completed his UEFA Cup debut and scored, he also helped Dortmund lock the score at 5-0.

Not to mention this game, even the second round of the play-offs has lost suspense, and Dortmund will definitely advance to this season's UEFA Cup group stage.

This is Cheng Hai's first official game at Westfalenstadion, and also his first official game goal.

In addition, after completing the goal, he received a total of 5 experience from the system for a single goal in the UEFA Cup, which made Cheng Hai very excited. He stood up and opened his arms and rushed to the corner along the baseline to welcome the cheers of the fans.

If the goals in the friendly matches are not counted, then scoring in two consecutive official games in the German Cup and the UEFA Cup play-offs can explain the problem.

Following Mario Gotze, Cheng Hai has also become the darling of Westfalenstadion!

Huaguo, in the CCTV-5 live broadcast room, the commentator also shouted excitedly the moment Cheng Hai shot the ball into the net:
"The ball is in!"

"The ball is in!"

"Cheng Hai scored a goal!"

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

"This is also the second goal of a Huaguo player in the European war!"

"The last time a Huaguo player scored a goal in a European competition dates back to the 2003/2004 UEFA Cup qualifying match. Sun Jihai made a header in the 5th minute of Manchester City's 0-60 sweep of Welsh runner-up TNS. He scored the first and only goal of a Huaguo player in the UEFA Cup."

"Seven years have passed since Sun Jihai's goal. Today, another Huaguo player finally scored in the UEFA Cup!"

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