Midfielder Ruler

Tang Zheng, who was undergoing a simple examination by the team doctor, never expected that the referee Burgos would give him a second yellow card for the match, because he didn't make any aggressive moves, and his hands were even placed behind his back. How about a yellow card?

In fact, the referee Burgos' basis is very simple. He believes that Tang Zheng's behavior is likely to cause chaos on the field, and the huge boos erupting from the municipal stadium are the best evidence.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was receiving a simple bandage from the team doctor, saw the red card shown by the referee to Tang Zheng, and his heart was full of waves.

If Tang Zheng hadn't been 'protected' before, he would have been directly sent off with a red card.

And Tang Zheng's two yellows turned into one red, it was tantamount to suffering for himself.

Coupled with the bad relationship between the two in the past, Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't understand, why did Tang Zheng give himself a chance?

Logically speaking, he should be happier when he got a red card and was sent off, right?

At the same time, Tang Zheng stood up from the ground, walked up to the referee Burgos, spread his hands, and said innocently: "Mr. Referee, I am a victim, and..."

After that, he pointed to Cristiano Ronaldo who was looking over here, filled with righteous indignation: "Did you see it? My teammate was hit by Levante's No. 4 elbow, and the blood flowed out. Is his theory wrong? I stood in front of him, did nothing, and you saw it."

What Tang Zheng said was well-founded, his hands were still tucked behind his back as before, and he told the referee Burgos that he did not violate the rules.

The referee Burgos was moved by Tang Zheng's explanation, but the majesty of the referee cannot be violated, and the judgment cannot be changed, so he insisted on his decision, looked at Tang Zheng with a smile, and pointed his right index finger stubbornly The player tunnel signaled Tang Zheng to leave the field.

Seeing that the referee had made up his mind, Tang Zheng shook his head, patted Ramos' outstretched right hand, turned and walked towards the player tunnel.

Just as Tang Zheng took two steps forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, whose left brow bone had stopped bleeding, suddenly grabbed Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng turned his head and saw that it was Cristiano Ronaldo. He was a little puzzled and raised his eyebrows.

Cristiano Ronaldo is not the kind of hypocritical person, he said directly: "Why help me get ahead."

"Help you get ahead?" Only now did Tang Zheng know why Cristiano Ronaldo came over suddenly, so he grinned and said, "You think too much, I just don't like that guy."

Apparently, 'that guy' was referring to David Navarro.

"Anyway, thanks."

Cristiano Ronaldo stretched out his right hand and raised it in front of Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng was stunned for a moment, but his reaction was quick. His right hand quickly went up to meet him, and then he patted Cristiano Ronaldo's left shoulder with his left hand, and said meaningfully: "Can we beat Levante in the away game and get three points?" , it depends on you."

Cristiano Ronaldo nodded lightly and said confidently: "I will, definitely."

Tang Zheng patted Cristiano Ronaldo's shoulder twice with his left hand before turning around and walking outside the court.

The close-up shots of the live broadcast show Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo. In the past, the relationship between the two was quite bad. Real Madrid's offensive even failed to achieve the desired effect because of their prejudice.

This time, the two shook hands with each other.

How much surprised the Real Madrid fans who came with the team and the fans in front of the TV.

Central 5 commentator He Wei said in a timely manner: "Maybe some fans think Tang Zheng's actions are reckless, but as far as I know Tang Zheng has always been a team-oriented player. From the slow-motion replay, we can clearly see that David Navarro elbowed Ronaldo, Tang Zheng didn't need any reason to stand up for his teammates, and there is a detail I don't know if you have seen it. Tang Zheng and David Navarro argued that his hands are behind his back, which means that he has no The meaning of taking the initiative to provoke trouble, I think the referee Burgos showed Tang Zheng the second yellow card in this game because he took into account the emotions of the home fans..."

Tang Zheng walked to the sidelines, where the head coach Ancelotti was waiting, stretched out his right hand, put his arms around Tang Zheng's neck and said, "Your dedication is obvious to all, it's great!"

The restart of the game has reached the 65th minute. Both sides sent off one player respectively. In order to stabilize each other's lineup, they made substitution adjustments in the next dead ball.

David Navarro is the team's central defender, and Levante's substitution is to replace forward Baba with substitute central defender Adua.

Real Madrid made two substitution adjustments in one breath. Marcelo, who is more capable of assisting, replaced Coentrao, and Isco replaced Khedira, who was no longer very effective.

With more than 20 minutes left in the game, Real Madrid needs to score to win the game. Therefore, Khedira, who has a heavier defensive task, is not suitable to stay on the field.

Replace with Isco, who has stronger breakthrough and organizational skills, to strengthen the offense.

Although Tang Zheng, the core of the offense, received a red card, Real Madrid's offense was not affected, and even better in terms of fit.

Currently, except for Isco who joined Real Madrid with Tang Zheng this summer, the other players on the field have played together for several seasons.

Modric, who is the worst, also has one and a half seasons, so the tacit understanding of Real Madrid with ten players is very high.

Of course, it’s not that Real Madrid’s offense cannot be played when Tang Zheng is around, but that Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo are competitive on the court, and they are not willing to play for each other, or they are not familiar with each other’s handling of the ball. and running positions, so that Real Madrid's overall offense fell into a downturn.

Another problem that cannot be ignored is that the municipal stadium is a small stadium with a capacity of only more than 20,000 people. The defense can make reasonable use of the narrowness of the stadium during 11VS11. However, with David Navarro's red card, the home team Levante's defense Players have much weaker space restrictions on the defensive area.

Therefore, Real Madrid's offensive is getting more and more fierce. If it weren't for the excellent performance of goalkeeper Keylor Navas, Real Madrid as a guest would have successfully broken the ice.

Sitting in the visiting team's locker room, Tang Zheng watched the live broadcast of the game, feeling very anxious. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid won the first game respectively. If they can't win Levante and the points increase to eight points, the situation will become very serious. Not good.

Because of the red card in this game, the next round of the league match against Malaga at home will inevitably be suspended, and I feel somewhat uneasy.

If Levante can score a point by defending, Malaga will definitely follow suit in the next round...

However, at this moment, Isco received a direct pass from Modric in the 30-meter area in the middle. Facing the defense of Austrian international Ivan Schitz, he did not choose to pass the ball, but broke through.

Ivan Skeets, who played for more than 70 minutes, had a significant decline in physical fitness, especially after David Navarro was sent off, he needed to cover a larger area, so he consumed more physical energy than before.

Isco is skilled at his feet, and Ivan Skeets subconsciously stretched his legs half a beat slower, tripping Isco to the ground.

The on-duty referee Burgos decisively blew his whistle, indicating that Ivan Schitz fouled.

Tang Zheng's eyes lit up as he watched the live TV broadcast. The set-piece in this position is very suitable for Cristiano Ronaldo.

The commentator's passionate and indignant voice came from the loudspeaker: "Setting the ball is one of the best ways to break the dense defense. Cristiano Ronaldo's state has improved significantly. Perhaps this is the closest opportunity for Real Madrid to score!"

Since Tang Zheng is not on the field, Cristiano Ronaldo has the absolute right to take the penalty.

Not long after, when the Levante wall stood still, Cristiano Ronaldo held his breath, carefully reminiscing about the sense of oppression in the training ground in the past two days.

"beep~"

The referee Burgos blew his whistle, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who was in the compass style, started to run.

※※※

"Goooooooooooooooooooal—"

From the TV speakers came the passionate and drawn-out voice of the TV5 commentator.

At the same time, Tang Zheng raised his arms and shouted in the locker room, as if he had scored a goal.

Finally scored!

In the stadium, what is surprising is that Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a goal, did not make the iconic domineering celebration, but simply raised his fists.

Tang Zheng, who had returned to normal, looked at Cristiano Ronaldo on the broadcast screen meaningfully, as if... discovered a new continent.

Immediately afterwards, the live director gave a close-up shot of Real Madrid coach Ancelotti, who raised his fist and let out a long breath.

Assistant coach Clemente and Zidane were more excited than Ancelotti's celebration, jumping three feet high.

It's not easy to break through Levante who sacrificed offense to make up for defense!

The score fell behind, forcing Levante, who was sitting at home, to consider the issue of offense.

But in many cases, wanting and realizing are two different things. In order to strengthen the offense, Levante will inevitably lead to a reduction in the number of defenders.

There is a huge difference in ability between the two. Levante, who strengthened his offense, has not yet broken through Real Madrid's goal, but his own goal conceded another goal.

Isco, who came off the bench in the second half, assisted Benzema and extended the score to two goals.

And this goal was also the last goal of the game. Real Madrid defeated Levante 2:0 as a guest.

After the Real Madrid players finished their thanks, they returned to the visiting team's locker room. Cristiano Ronaldo found Tang Zheng immediately.

At this moment, Tang Zheng had already showered and put on a set of clean clothes. He looked at Cristiano Ronaldo and frowned: "What? Is there something wrong?"

Cristiano Ronaldo glanced at the melon-eaters who were watching, and then coughed lightly, the meaning he wanted to express was very obvious.

The people who are used to eating looked at each other, and because of Cristiano Ronaldo's face, they went to the bathroom one after another.

After his teammates had completely evacuated, Cristiano Ronaldo sat next to Tang Zheng and said, "Thank you."

Tang Zheng glanced at Cristiano Ronaldo playfully: "Didn't you already say it on the court just now?"

Cristiano Ronaldo rolled his eyes, and said to himself as if he was on the sidelines: "To be honest, you are really annoying. You took my second Champions League trophy."

Speaking of this, Cristiano Ronaldo turned his head to look at Tang Zheng, and changed his voice: "Your ability is indeed very strong, and you also have excellent leadership skills, so I feel a lot of pressure... I admit... It was intentional to shovel you at the training ground, but I realized my mistake at the critical moment, so I stopped in time."

Listening to Cristiano Ronaldo's words, Tang Zheng carefully recalled everything that happened on the training ground that day. Suddenly, he realized that Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to have stopped his feet at a critical moment, otherwise even if he jumped in time, he would not be able to escape unscathed.

However, in order to make himself more magnanimous, Tang Zheng turned his head to look at Cristiano Ronaldo: "It's all trivial things, I've forgotten them a long time ago."

After finishing speaking, Tang Zheng stood up, showing a charming smile, and stretched out his right hand: "The auto show didn't give you face, and I'm sorry to you here, I really didn't know at that time that you bought it as a gift for Mini Luo A gift, I only found out after listening to the team favorite..."

"It's okay." Cristiano Ronaldo also stood up and reached out to greet him: "In your Chinese language, it means 'If you don't fight, you don't know each other'."

At the same time, head coach Ancelotti and two assistants, Clement and Zidane, returned to the locker room, just in time to see Tang Zheng shaking hands with Cristiano Ronaldo.

They looked at each other, and they both saw disbelief and ecstasy in each other's eyes.

There is no place to find when you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

If Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo can let go of their prejudices, Real Madrid's results are just around the corner!

Cristiano Ronaldo has gradually transformed in recent seasons. He averaged more than one goal per game and he is extremely efficient. Tang Zheng can pass and shoot. If the two cooperate, plus Benzema, there will be teams on earth. Can China's defense stop the BTC combination?

In the regular press conference after the game, although Real Madrid won, but because Real Madrid's overall strength is more than two chips higher than Levante, the focus of media attention is not the result of the game, but Tang Zheng's performance for Cristiano in the game. No Ronaldo in his early days.

After Tang Zheng ate two yellows and turned one red, Cristiano Ronaldo took the initiative to show his favor again, so the media reporters all wanted to know whether Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo turned their fights into friendship because of what happened in this game.

Regarding this point, Ancelotti did not admit or deny it.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo's "reconciliation" is still a secret in the locker room. Malaga and Juventus ushered in the international match day in October is not a big problem, and the next Spanish national derby will be top priority.

Taking into account this national derby that he couldn't afford to lose, Ancelotti decided to give the world an infinite possibility of guessing.

Complicated and confusing, it will inevitably bring the chance of winning the national derby in the future.

The media is naturally very dissatisfied with Ancelotti's statement, but there is nothing they can do about it. After all, he didn't say nothing, but left infinite reverie...

On the international match day in October, the Chinese team had no match assignments, so Tang Zheng was able to prepare for the next league matches, Champions League and national derby in Madrid.

Five points behind the league, no big problem!
