Midfielder Ruler

When Tang Zheng woke up, it was already the next morning. He reached out and picked up the phone on the bedside table to check the time, and murmured: "It's only six o'clock! Damn the biological clock!"

Zhao Lina was also awakened, with her right arm around Tang Zheng's neck, she raised her head and winked like silk: "Do you want to get up and exercise?"

"Exercise?" Tang Zheng's eyes became hot when he heard these two words, and he turned over: "Okay, morning exercise!"

More than an hour later, Tang Zheng and Zhao Lina both returned to the room from the bathroom, and Zhao Lina couldn't help but ask, "What are your plans for this summer?"

"Plan?" Tang Zheng replied slowly while lying on a sit-up board and doing sit-ups: "Two months of rest are rare in a year, let me see when my father is on vacation, and then take them to find a resort to have fun Play. Fastest update”

"What about me?" Zhao Lina was instantly unhappy, and her mouth was pouting.

Tang Zheng paused when he was lying on his back, and turned his head curiously to look at Zhao Lina who was sitting on the bed: "Of course we went together."

"That's about the same."

Suddenly, Tang Zheng remembered something, and he slapped his forehead suddenly: "I actually forgot the business."

"What's the business?" Zhao Lina asked while lowering her head to play with her phone.

"Brazil World Cup Asian Top Ten Competition." Tang Zheng spread his hands, very depressed, it seems that the plan to relax in summer has been put on hold temporarily.

According to the schedule, the Chinese national team only has a bye in the third round in Group A of the Asian Top Ten Tournament, and the first two rounds are to be played.

The first game is on June 3rd at home against Australia, the strongest team in the group, and then away to Lebanon on the 9th.

Considering the short interval between the two games, the Chinese Football Association decided to play the home game at the Suzaku Stadium in Fudi Xi'an, which is not only conducive to preparing for Australia's first Asian top ten match, but also conducive to flying to Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, after the game.

"That's right." Zhao Lina propped her chin with her right hand, looking distressed.

Tang Zheng restarted his sit-up training, and continued to exercise his eight-pack abs: "Let's wait until the two World Cup qualifiers are over."

"Um."

Zhao Lina nodded lightly, expressing her understanding, and this is the only way to go now.

Last night, the end of the German Cup final meant the end of all Dortmund events this season, but most of the team's players' holidays did not start.

The 2012 European Cup will be held in Poland and Ukraine, between June 8th and July 1st. Dortmund's current starting players are all at the international level, and even some substitutes and marginal players can also be shortlisted for the national team .

Not only Tang Zheng's vacation in the summer of 2012 will be postponed, but also his club teammates.

It is worth mentioning that among the international players recruited by the Chinese Football Association in the Asian Top Ten Tournament, besides Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin, the young player Lu Liang who set a new record for the youngest goal in the Bundesliga was also recruited.

The next day, Tang Zheng, Zhao Lina and Lu Liang took the flight back to China together.

At Pudong International Airport, Tang Zheng greeted Lu Liang's father and reminded Lu Liang not to forget the training time of the national team, then took Zhao Lina home by car, and then returned to Huangpu Huating.

The first thing to do when you get home is naturally to adjust the jet lag, otherwise your physical condition will not be able to adjust in time.

Playing for a long time in Europe in the past made him realize how important it is to stay fit.

The first round match between the Chinese team and Australia in the 2014 Brazil World Cup Asian Top Ten will be held at Xi'an Zhuque Stadium at 8 o'clock in the evening on June 3rd.

Considering that the Chinese Super League is currently in progress, the Football Association habitually lets the league make way for the national team.

The league has entered a half-month truce.

Before the league truce, Tang Zheng and Zhao Lina came to the Hongkou Football Stadium to watch the Shanghai Derby between Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai Shenxin with their fingers clasped together.

Although they were very low-key and wore peaked caps and sunglasses, they were still recognized by sharp-eyed fans, so that the players in the stadium thought there was a conflict in the stands.

Tang Zheng smiled and tried his best to satisfy the fans' demands until the security personnel of the Hongkou Football Stadium came to disperse the fans.

In this Shanghai Derby, Tang Zheng saw many acquaintances, Wang Xiaolei, Wu Xi, Cao Yunding, etc...

There is even a familiar foreign aid, Anelka.

However, this game was played poorly, not to mention that the two sides did not score, and there were constant conflicts. At the end of 90 minutes, the score did not change.

0:0

The Shanghai Derby ended dullly.

With the end of this Chinese Super League, the league has entered a half-month truce to make way for the national team.

Regarding the strange policy of the domestic league to make way for the national team, Tang Zheng felt a little speechless, but every country has different national conditions, and many things can't be helped.

The Chinese national team has missed the World Cup qualifiers in the final stage of the World Cup in Germany and the World Cup in South Africa. The Chinese fans are very excited to enter the top ten in Asia this time. They have booked the tickets for the Suzaku Stadium early.

Because the first opponent is very strong, the Chinese team played with all the main players. The international players Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin, who played for Dortmund and Schalke 04, both returned to China to participate in the battle.

Many fans have waited for this day for an unknown amount of time. It is a rare opportunity to cheer for the national team. How could they easily miss it?

Under such circumstances, it is normal to spawn a batch of scalpers.

On May 19th, except for several international players from Guangzhou Evergrande who needed to prepare for the AFC Champions League 1/8 finals at the Tianhe Sports Center at the end of the month and did not return to the team, Tang Zheng, Lu Liang, Hao Junmin and other national team members met in the afternoon of the same day. That is, the day before the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League final.

The head coach Camacho suggested that the national team will start training for each ten-day period on this day, which is very targeted. Members of the national team can watch the UEFA Champions League, which symbolizes the highest glory of European football, together.

So the day of the training camp was very interesting. The members of the coaching staff first had dinner together on the night when the players arrived, and then asked the players to go back to their rooms to rest after a period of digestion, waiting for the start of the Champions League.

The 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League final kicks off at 2:45 am on May 20th, Beijing time, which is 8:45 pm on May 19th, local time in Europe.

Staying up late to watch the game itself is not a good habit, but Tang Zheng has no objection to the arrangement of the coaching staff.

Among these international players, except for Tang Zheng, Hao Junmin and Sun Xiang who have played in the Champions League, the rest of the players came into contact with the Champions League through TV.

They don't even know how intense the Champions League is and how fast the rhythm is.

When Central 5 commentator He Wei introduced the starting lineups of the two sides, many teammates of the national team asked Tang Zheng and Hao Junmin that they were one of the few national players in the national team who had participated in the UEFA Champions League.

Sun Xiang is the first Chinese player in the history of the UEFA Champions League to participate in the UEFA Champions League, but his playing time is pitiful, and there is no way to compare with Tang Zheng Hao Junmin.

Especially Tang Zheng, he was a master who forced Barcelona to complain, so he was naturally the object of questions from the international teammates.

Not long after, the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Chelsea kicked off at the Allianz Arena. The Chinese internationals gradually became quiet. They followed the game with coach Camacho and learned advanced European football styles.

The tone was set from the very first second, with Bayern Munich attacking and Chelsea defending.

And what Camacho mentioned to the players is to learn Chelsea's defense.

Defense is not shameful, losing is shameful.

In this game, Chelsea fully performed this role.

At the end of the first half the score was 0:0

Taking advantage of the commercial time of Yang 5, Camacho communicated with Tang Zheng in Spanish: "Tang, who do you think will win the game in the end?"

Tang Zheng squeezed his chin and thought for a while: "It's really hard to say. Bayern managed to control the midfield, but the players in the forward line seem not to be in good condition. Chelsea's wholehearted defense makes the defense impenetrable, but it's a pity that there is no counterattack. After playing it, I think...the winner should be determined by who can hold on to the end, or who has the better physical reserve, who has the advantage..."

Camacho nodded lightly. In fact, Tang Zheng didn't say what he said, but from the ears of experts, many conclusions can be drawn from it.

In terms of willpower, the Germans can be said to not lose to anyone, but Tang Zheng added later: "I am not optimistic about Bayern Munich."

"Huh? Why?" Camacho felt very strange.

"They lack the arrogance to be champions!"

Tang Zheng could easily see from the German Cup final eight days ago that Bayern lacks the aura to become a champion.

In contrast to Chelsea, head coach Di Matteo took office halfway, and the first game he took office was the key battle in the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 final.

Facing the mess of losing 3:1 in the first round, Chelsea coached by Di Matteo survived the desperate situation and defeated Naples 4:1 in overtime at home.

The quarter-finals can be regarded as a reward for advancing to the quarter-finals, successfully defeating Benfica.

Facing Barcelona in the semi-finals, they defeated Barcelona 1-0 in the first round relying on the goals of the bus and Drogba.

The ups and downs of the game came in the second leg at the Camp Nou, where they faced a two-goal deficit and captain John Terry was sent off.

In the end, with the goals of Ramirez and Torres, they drew away with Barcelona 2:2 and advanced to the Champions League final with a total score of 3:2.

Even so, they also suffered heavy losses in the Champions League final, with Terry, Ivanovic, Ramirez and Meireles missing four main players.

Being able to enter the final is a surprise, an accident.

In terms of mentality, Chelsea has the advantage.

The game lasted until the 83rd minute before breaking the deadlock, Thomas Muller made a header.

At this time, Heynckes couldn't wait to make a substitution adjustment, replacing the goal hero Muller with the veteran Van Buyten, and prepared to stick to the score until the end of the game.

However, the Bayern players have forgotten that what Chelsea have experienced the most this season is desperation, and they are all reborn from desperation.

In the 87th minute, Mata took a corner kick from the right, and Drogba made a powerful head shake to attack the goal. Goalkeeper Neuer couldn't react in time, and the football rushed into the net from the near corner...rw
