Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 3:1 in an away game to advance to the 2013-2014 Copa del Rey final. It seemed as if they had broken away from the vicious circle of three games without a win in all competitions. They defeated Getafe and Elche 3:0 in two league games and achieved various achievements. Three consecutive wins in the tournament. Chen√yuan×wen→xue↗网

I don’t know if Real Madrid’s arrival in the league brings luck, or if they need to pay attention to the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals after the league. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have a tacit understanding and lost to Real Sociedad and Osasuna respectively in their respective leagues.

Barcelona lost to Real Sociedad 1:3 in an away game, and Atletico Madrid simply lost 0:3.

However, considering the opponents that Barcelona and Atletico Madrid faced in the Champions League 1/8 finals, it is easy to understand. Barcelona will be a guest at the Etihad Stadium to challenge Manchester City, and Atletico Madrid will be a guest at the San Siro Stadium to challenge AC Milan.

Compared with Schalke 04, which Real Madrid is about to face, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are undoubtedly in difficult mode in the Champions League 1/8 finals.

With both Atletico Madrid and Barcelona losing, Real Madrid narrowed the points with the top team Atletico Madrid, while leaving behind Barcelona by three points and ranking second in the league standings.

After 25 rounds, Atletico Madrid ranked first with 63 points, Real Madrid ranked second with 62 points, and Barcelona ranked third with 59 points.

The fourth-ranked team is Athletic Bilbao. They have only accumulated 43 points in 25 rounds, and are already 16 points behind third-ranked Barcelona. This means that the competition for the La Liga championship this season will be between Atletico Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Between Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The Madrid derby in the second leg of the 2013-2014 La Liga season when Real Madrid is a guest at the Calderon Stadium will be held after the 1/8 finals of the Champions League. This is a big test for Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid as guests.

First of all, both teams have to travel to the away game, which is a tiring journey. Secondly, the interval between the two games is only about three and a half days.

Both Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have made certain rotations in the league for the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals. The only difference is that Real Madrid wins and Atletico Madrid loses.

It is precisely because Atletico Madrid lost as a client in the league that they cannot afford to lose in the league after the Champions League 1/8 finals.

Especially since the difference between the two sides is only one point. If they lose again, they will be reversed by Real Madrid.

In addition, Barcelona, ​​a strong contender for the league title, will face Almeria at home in the next round of the league.

If nothing else, Barcelona will definitely win.

In terms of schedule,

Barcelona's home game against Almeria will start earlier, which means that once Barcelona defeats Almeria at home, Atletico Madrid's home game against Real Madrid will be under greater pressure.

At that time, Barcelona, ​​which played one game first, will tie Real Madrid in points. Real Madrid, which has the same points as Barcelona, ​​and Atletico Madrid, which is one point ahead, will feel huge pressure...

Of course, this game is not yet within the scope of consideration by the two teams.

The game currently before them is the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals. The entire Real Madrid team takes a flight to Gelsenkirchen, and the Atletico Madrid team takes a flight to Milan.

Before the Real Madrid team boarded the flight to Gelsenkirchen, the fans of Schalke 04's rival Borussia Dortmund were extremely excited because their meritorious star Tang Zheng would return to North Rhine-Westphalia.

Gelsenkirchen is only 40 kilometers away from Dortmund, so it is very convenient for Dortmund fans, whether by car, self-driving, or taking a train.

The Real Madrid players had just come out of the international flight. In addition to the blue Schalke 04 fans booing the Real Madrid players, there were also countless Dortmund fans wearing yellow and black striped shirts to support the arriving Real Madrid players.

To put it more directly, he supports Tang Zheng.

The legendary No. 10 of Dortmund brought Dortmund to a historical height in just four years.

At the end of last year, Dortmund fans conducted a poll. Tang Zheng's status in the hearts of Dortmund fans can be ranked among the top three in history. If he hadn't played for long enough, he would have become the number one in history.

The first Triple Crown team in Bundesliga history, created by Tang Zheng.

Apart from these three championships, there are also many other honors, and there are also many exciting records.

"Taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang——"

When Tang Zheng appeared at the exit of the international flight, the fans from Dortmund made deafening cheers that quickly swept the entire airport.

Gelsenkirchen can be said to be the 'base' for Schalke 04 fans. How can we allow Dortmund fans to show off their power here?

So naturally, Schalke 04 fans and Dortmund fans clashed.

If the local police in Gelsenkirchen had not been prepared in advance, chaos at the airport would very likely have occurred.

The first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals between Manchester City vs. Barcelona and AC Milan vs. Atletico Madrid was held on the first match day.

After ninety minutes of fierce battle, Barcelona defeated Manchester City 2:0 as a guest, and Atletico Madrid defeated AC Milan 1:0 as an away game, both achieving good results.

The first leg of the 1/8 finals of the 2013-2014 Champions League between Schalke 04 and Real Madrid was played at 8:45 pm European time the next day.

The Veltins Arena can accommodate 61,000 fans. In addition to most of the Schalke fans at home, there is also a small group of white Real Madrid fans and yellow and black Dortmund fans.

Of course, there are also many Chinese fans.

In this game, in addition to former Dortmund player Tang Zheng returning to the Veltins Arena to challenge Schalke 04, there is also a Chinese derby for the Chinese.

Tang Zheng VS Hao Junmin.

It is worth mentioning that Hao Junmin joined Schalke 04 in February 2010 and is now the third captain of the team, and his role in Schalke 04 in the game is also very obvious.

Schalke 04's previous games were either draws or losses, which was directly related to Hao Junmin's absence due to injury. Now that the Champions League is back, it will be of great help to Schalke 04's offensive end.

Ancelotti mentioned Hao Junmin in his pre-match tactical explanation and defensive tactics.

It can be seen that Ancelotti has some concerns about Hao Junmin's comeback.

But for Tang Zheng, he knew Hao Junmin's technical characteristics well, so he wasn't worried.

What he worried about was the so-called curse.

The last time Real Madrid defeated a Bundesliga team away from home was on September 20, 2000. In the following 14 years, Real Madrid played ten away games against Bundesliga teams, drew two and lost eight. Dortmund leads the way.

It is worth mentioning that there is another person who has attracted much attention in this game, that is Raul and Huntelaar who have played for Real Madrid and Schalke 04.

Raul currently plays for Al Sadd in the Qatari League, but is very concerned about the Champions League knockout rounds between the two clubs.

Huntelaar can't say he has any feelings for Real Madrid, but he wants to prove what an unwise choice Real Madrid made in selling him.

The game hasn't even started yet and the frenzied atmosphere in the Veltins Arena is already at an extremely high level.

Not long after, the Champions League theme song "-League" sounded, and a sacred feeling sprouted from my heart.

Tang Zheng half-squinted his eyes and looked straight at the main stand.

There was a touch of yellow and black there, and needless to say, it must have been Dortmund fans forty miles away.

They came here not to support Schalke 04, nor to watch Schalke 04's jokes. Judging from the banners and slogans they held high, they were all here to support Tang Zheng.

"Beat Schalke 04? No problem at all!"

Tang Zheng thought silently in his heart.

"CCTV, CCTV, the game you are broadcasting now is the live broadcast of the first leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League 1/8 finals between Schalke 04 and Real Madrid at home. Schalke 04 kicked off at home first. Wearing blue jerseys and white shorts, they attack from the left to the right of the screen..."

Central 5 commentator He Wei gave a passionate explanation.

With the fanatical atmosphere at home, Schalke 04 quickly spread the war to Real Madrid's defensive half.

Huntelaar's performance was obviously very strong. With Ramos behind him in the penalty area, he faced Hao Junmin's 45-degree cross from the right and volleyed directly with one and a half kicks.

Casillas, the starting goalkeeper in the cup, concentrated and blocked the ball from the baseline with one palm, only giving Schalke 04 a corner kick.

"Ouch-ouch——"

Although no goal was scored, the home fans seemed particularly excited. The deafening cheers quickly swept the entire stadium and could be clearly heard even five or six kilometers away.

This shows how crazy Schalke 04 fans are.

In fact, Schalke 04 fans belong to the Ruhr Industrial Area like Dortmund fans. Many fans are miners or descendants of miners. Watching football is a kind of emotional catharsis.

Especially the famous player from Real Madrid who is extremely hated by Schalke 04 fans...

Huntelaar's first shot in the game created a threat and completely detonated the fanatical atmosphere at home.

But then the home fans seemed a little helpless. Their most hated Tang Zheng showed off his power in a white No. 10 Real Madrid jersey, testing goalkeeper Fellman with corner kicks and long shots.

The Dortmund fans in the stands were very excited when they saw Tang Zheng's outstanding performance. They even suppressed the Schalke 04 fans next to them with a number of about 3,000.

If the riot police had not separated the fans from both sides, there would have been a group fight.

After all, the fans of both sides are sworn enemies in the Ruhr area, and now they are on opposite sides because of Tang Zheng's arrival, which somewhat increases their mutual hatred.

The Veltins Arena is very familiar to Tang Zheng. In the past, he showed great power against Schalke 04 and opened the scoring in the 11th minute of the game.

Tang Zheng came to the left flank of the attack and cooperated with Cristiano Ronaldo continuously. Before Hao Junmin and Boateng could defend, he knocked the ball to the right with his left heel. Boateng's feet suddenly slipped. , Tang Zheng made a gesture and raised his right foot.

Midfielder Neusteigen subconsciously fell to the ground to put down a shovel, trying to block Tang Zheng's long shot, but Tang Zheng's raised right foot did not hit the football, but quickly put it down, and then used the outside instep of his right foot to block the ball. Move to the right, widen Neustegen's coverage area, and pick up his right foot about 26 meters away from the door.

Right center back Matip started on the spot and moved forward to cover the position, but Tang Zheng didn't give him a chance and hit the middle and lower part of the football hard with the instep of his right foot.

"Boom~"

Neusteigen, whose body was still gliding forward, could clearly hear the crisp sound of Tang Zheng's right foot hitting the football.

The football in the broadcast screen flew upwards grazing Matip's scalp, but the football did not continue to rise. After flying to the highest point, it suddenly fell like a fallen leaf.

Goalkeeper Fellman was well prepared, but Tang Zheng's shot had perfect speed and angle, and it dropped so obviously that Fellman made a slight error in his judgment during the move.

By the time he wanted to change, it was already too late...

"Oh oh oh——"

The home fans held their heads in their hands, looking a bit incredible, especially the home team fans behind the goal.

Due to their excellent vision, they could see more clearly and held their breath.

Half a second later, the football crashed into the snow-white net.

"Beautiful!!" At the same time, Central 5 commentator He Wei said excitedly: "World wave! If I remember correctly, this is Tang Zheng's sixth goal at the Veltins Arena! Playing at home. Schalke 04 is in trouble!"

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif shouted: "This is the Don we are familiar with! If he disagrees with you, he will make a world-wide impact with a kick that will shock everyone! Real Madrid leads Schalke 04 1:0!"

Thiago, the commentator of Spanish National TV Channel 5, raised his arms and shouted: "Wonderful long-range shot! Don used his wonderful performance to repay Real Madrid's 105 million euro investment! If Real Madrid is 'lucky' enough in the next Champions League game, It is not impossible to reach the Champions League finals for two consecutive years! There is even a chance to win the tenth Champions League trophy in the club’s history!”

Countless Schalke 04 fans sat down subconsciously, their faces full of disbelief.

They really couldn't understand it. They finally waited until Tang Zheng, the evil star, left Dortmund. They didn't expect that they would meet in the knockout stage of the Champions League before the season was over, and they scored a goal in the world in just ten minutes after the game started.

Can you still watch football well?

Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, didn't care about the mood of the home fans. He clearly remembered the huge boos from the home fans.

In Tang Zheng's world, the only way to deal with boos, and the most effective way, is to score goals!

you do not like me? hate me?

Can!

Because this is your right and freedom, but... if you make me unhappy, then I can only make you unhappy!

Under the eyes of more than 50,000 Schalke 04 fans, Tang Zheng celebrated with excitement.

However, what many people did not expect was that the home fans did not boo Tang Zheng, but instead became even more depressed.

In fact, this feeling can only be understood by Schalke fans.

The consequences of 'offending' Tang Zheng will be unimaginable!

Familiar taste, familiar recipe.

Those who can resonate with Schalke fans include Bayern fans throughout Germany.

Although Schalke fans were low-key enough when Tang Zheng celebrated his goal, the goal conceded another goal in the 20th minute of the game.

It was not Tang Zheng who scored the goal, but the assist came from Tang Zheng.

During the transition from defense to offense, he received a pass from Xabi Alonso and made a slight adjustment. He saw the forward direction of Di Maria and sent a direct pass of more than 40 meters. Di Maria ran wildly after receiving the ball. Then he passed the attacking goalkeeper Fellman and scored the ball into the empty net.

0:2

The home team goes first and the away team goes last.

Real Madrid scored two away goals as a guest, which is positive for their promotion journey.
