Midfielder Ruler

The moment Di Maria scored the ball into the empty goal, Central 5 commentator He Wei's attention was no longer on Di Maria, but focused on commenting on Tang Zheng who sent the exquisite pass. He shouted almost crazy: "Tang Zheng is the only player in the Champions League this season. In just six games, he broke the previous record of eight assists in a single season that he set in the Champions League last season. Chen? Yuan? Literary↑ Literature↘ Net."

"Imaginative assist! Beautiful! Real Madrid leads Schalke 2:0!" Spanish national TV commentator Thiago said excitedly.

"Schalke 04 has performed well this season, ranking third in the league, and conceding only fewer goals than Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen, but why does their defense look like a shoddy project?"

said Michael Reti, a commentator on German television channel 2, shaking his head.

Before the game, Schalke fans may have thought that they would eventually lose to the powerful Real Madrid at the Veltins Arena, but they never thought that they would fall behind 0:2 just 20 minutes into the game.

What's more, a series of data before the game were very favorable to Schalke 04, so it was somewhat difficult to accept that the score became 0:2 twenty minutes into the game.

Next, if Real Madrid's offensive efficiency had not declined, the score would have been likely to expand further.

In the words of German Sky commentator Marcel Leif: "Schalke 04, who was sitting at the Veltins Arena at home, seemed to be stunned by Don, as if there was no hope of scoring any goals."

In fact, it is.

Apart from Hao Junmin, the most threatening Schalke 04 offensive player is the 20-year-old Draxler. However, both of them are heavily targeted by Real Madrid players and are completely unable to perform at their best.

Hao Junmin played very hard and came close to helping Schalke score amid the cheers and cheers of the home fans, but his luck was slightly worse.

He was attacking the left rib, and he was positioned at the front of the penalty area to get a long shot opportunity. The football hit Ramos' calf and was refracted, and then flew in the opposite direction of Casillas's save.

Unfortunately, the football hit the outside of the left goal post, and Pepe, who was being defended, cleared the sideline with a kick.

This shooting opportunity was Schalke's closest shot.

Schalke had this extremely threatening shot, which seemed to be a wake-up call for Real Madrid players.

Until the end of the first half, Schalke 04 did not get a decent chance.

certainly,

Real Madrid, who chose to defend in a low-key manner for the time being, did not score a goal, and the score remained at 0:2. As a guest, Real Madrid led the home team Schalke 04.

The fifteen minutes of the intermission passed quickly, and the game changed sides again in the second half.

After a fifteen-minute break, the Schalke fans in the stands gradually realized that they should do something, so even if the home team fell behind by two goals, they cheered and cheered endlessly.

"Although Schalke was trailing 0:2 at home and played a bit passively at the beginning of the second half, the home fans"

Before German TV station 2 commentator Michael Reti finished speaking, Tang Zheng suddenly passed a very penetrating pass in the middle of the attack about 35 meters away from the goal. The football came from Neusteigen and Hao Junmin. The rib space between them quickly passed through.

The two of them realized something instantly and subconsciously stretched their legs to block it, but no one was able to block it.

At the same time, Cristiano Ronaldo moved laterally to the right, stopped the ball with the outside of his right foot, followed up with two consecutive bicycles to shake Matip's center of gravity, and then moved to the right, widening the angle and shooting directly.

Goalkeeper Fellman saw the football flying from the left rib of Matip's body and subconsciously rushed to the far corner. However, Cristiano Ronaldo's shot was so powerful that Fellman's fingertips only slightly touched the football, but failed to hit it. The ball missed the goal post.

0:3

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal gives Real Madrid a three-goal lead on the road!

Thiago, the commentator of Spanish National TV Channel 5, was enthusiastic: "Beautiful! This is Cristiano Ronaldo's tenth goal in the Champions League this season. This is his seventh game in the Champions League this season! It's incredible!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his voice rose another octave: "Don's assists also increased from eight to nine! It's incredible! He scored four goals and nine assists in seven games. Real Madrid scored a total of 20 goals in the Champions League. Of the four goals, he alone contributed more than 50%, with a contribution rate as high as 54%. I have to say! Real Madrid’s investment last summer was well worth it!”

Central 5 commentator He Wei was also full of passion. He shouted almost crazily: "C Ronaldo's ability to score goals is directly related to Tang Zheng's penetrating through balls! Nine assists in seven games, congratulations to Tang Zheng Zheng! Refreshed my personal record for assists in the Champions League in a single season!"

Five minutes later, Real Madrid extended the lead to four goals.

The goal this time was forward Benzema, who played a series of exquisite cooperation with Cristiano Ronaldo in the frontcourt. Finally, Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball and entered the penalty area. When everyone thought he was going to shoot directly, he chose to backheel. Knock the ball.

Benzema, who actively followed up, pushed and shot, and the football rolled into the goal against the turf.

The game was only an hour old, and Schalke 04 at home was already trailing the away Real Madrid 0:4.

Real Madrid fans and Dortmund fans who came with the team to the Veltins Arena were as excited as children, shouting at the top of their lungs to celebrate Real Madrid's expansion of the score again.

If the game ends with the current score, Real Madrid will basically have more than half of its foot on the threshold of the quarterfinals. After all, Real Madrid will sit at the Bernabeu in the second round.

Maybe Schalke 04 has a chance to make a comeback in the away game, but with Schalke 04's current overall strength and state, the chance of making a comeback at the Bernabeu Stadium is infinitely close to zero.

When Benzema celebrated his goal, the Schalke 04 players looked very confused.

This is especially true for the home team fans in the stands. They don’t know where to go.

Some fans who loved Schalke 04 found it unbearable and chose to leave early.

It's not that they vented their dissatisfaction with the home team in this way, but they couldn't bear to continue watching.

Schalke 04's overall strength is two levels weaker than Real Madrid's, and with the evil star Tang Zheng sitting in Real Madrid's midfield, the home fans almost have no hope of scoring any goals, and may even continue to lose goals if this continues. ball.

Facts have proved that the home fans who left the game did not think much about it. Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema each scored a goal, and both scored twice, turning the score into 6:0.

At the last moment of the game, Hao Junmin took advantage of the negligence of Real Madrid's defense and scored a goal to save face.

The moment Hao Junmin scored the ball, Casillas' record of not conceding a goal came to an end, and it was finally fixed at 952 minutes.

Regardless of whether Schalke 04 fans are willing to accept it or not, the score is always there, 1:6.

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

The on-site director's close-up shots were shown to the Schalke players one after another. There were no surprises. Every player's expression was ugly, especially the head coach Keller.

The Real Madrid players were in a great mood after a big away victory. This score basically meant that they could use a large number of substitutes in the second round.

Six away goals, five goal difference.

Head coach Carlo Ancelotti is in the best mood. After the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals, we will face the Madrid derby. A 6:1 win away from home will not only save the team the attention of the second leg, but also give the ball a chance to win. Brings great confidence to the team.

You can beat Schalke 04 6:1 in the away game and break the curse. Why can't you beat Atletico Madrid again at the Calderon Stadium?

Besides, didn’t they win the second leg of the previous Copa del Rey semi-final 3:1?

It is worth mentioning that although Tang Zheng contributed a goal and two assists in this game, the final best player was Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored twice and provided two assists.

However, Tang Zheng doesn't pay attention to these. He is more interested in the team winning away from home.

After the interview in the mixed zone, Tang Zheng took the initiative to go alone to the stands where the Dortmund fans were.

When these lovely fans saw Tang Zheng approaching, they first raised their voices and raised their arms and shouted: "taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang——"

When Tang Zheng approached, they sang a long-lost song - Song of Tang under the leadership of Heisenberg.

Listening to the familiar melody, Tang Zheng couldn't control his emotions, and the corners of his eyes became a little moist.

In front of everyone, Tang Zheng naturally would not shed tears easily. He turned his head away, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it. He quickly adjusted his mentality, raised his hands above his head, and thanked the Dortmund fans for their support by clapping.

Back at the hotel, Tang Zheng was still missing the enthusiastic Dortmund fans.

That yellow-black memory is truly unforgettable.

Of course, Tang Zheng no longer focused on the Dortmund fans. In fact, he knew from the time he moved to Dortmund that the life of a professional player is full of uncertainty. If he stays with this team this year, he will probably change to another team next year. team.

He was lucky enough to play four years at Dortmund and develop into the best player in the world.

All this is like a dream.

Tang Zheng shook his head and recovered his thoughts.

Three days later, they have to go to Calderon Stadium to challenge Atletico Madrid. Now the difference between the two teams is only one point. If they can defeat Atletico Madrid in the away game, they will overtake Atletico Madrid in points and reach the top of the league.

The idea is very good, but if you want to turn it into reality, you have to rely on practical actions.

The next day, the content reported by European mainstream media basically revolved around Real Madrid, which had just defeated Schalke 04 in an away game.

First of all, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 11 goals in seven games, only four goals away from Tang Zheng's 15 goals in the Champions League in a single season set last season.

Real Madrid has just finished the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals, defeating Schalke 04 6:1 away from home, which basically means advancing to the Champions League this season. Next, there will be the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals and two Champions League games. Quarterfinals.

With Real Madrid's current overall strength, although it may not be able to enter the final, there is no problem in entering the semi-finals.

After all, Real Madrid has entered the Champions League semi-finals for three consecutive seasons without Tang Zheng. Now with Tang Zheng, it is very possible to enter the semi-finals for four consecutive seasons.

It means that Real Madrid still has at least five games in the future. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 11 goals in the past seven games. Could it be that he can't even score four goals in the next five games?

Therefore, many media focus on how many goals Cristiano Ronaldo can score in the Champions League this season!

In addition, Tang Zheng also became the focus of media attention when he broke his personal record of eight assists in a single Champions League season set last season.

How many assists can Tang Zheng provide this season?

During his time in Dortmund, Tang Zheng's absolute core position in Klopp's tactical system could not be shaken, and he had unlimited firing rights.

In the Champions League, Lewandowski, Reus, Gotze and others are often out of form, but Tang Zheng has an absolute core position and absolute right to fire in the game. His teammates often create opportunities for him, so the Champions League single season Can score fifteen goals.

Real Madrid is different. Everyone is a superstar and no one is willing to sacrifice too much.

The same is true for Tang Zheng, he will not sacrifice himself to take care of Cristiano Ronaldo.

But then again, Tang Zheng has a very wide range of activities, strong playing ability, and wide vision. Many times he is a little far away from the goal. He gets much fewer shooting opportunities than Cristiano Ronaldo, who is closer to the goal.

As a result, there were fewer goals and more assists.

The Real Madrid players who returned to Madrid did not resume training immediately. They were given half a day's rest and resumed training the next day to prepare for the second leg of the 2013-2014 La Liga Madrid derby at the Calderon Stadium two days later.

Real Madrid lost 0:1 at home to Atletico Madrid in the first round, which caused them to be chasing points for most of the season. Now there is a direct confrontation worth six points, and no one wants to miss the victory.

Tang Zheng followed the team back to Madrid and did not go home to rest. Instead, he drove directly to the Valdebebas training base and took the initiative for additional training.

The staff at the Valdebebas training base are already used to Tang Zheng's extra training, so many staff members will greet Tang Zheng affectionately when they see him, and then say: "Hey Tang, do you want to practice again?"

Every time Tang Zheng would smile and nod lightly: "Yes."

As soon as he arrived at the first team training ground, Tang Zheng discovered that Cristiano Ronaldo had already started jogging.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was jogging around the field, saw Tang Zheng smiling and waving hello, but did not communicate much.

They are all very talented, but also very hard-working and like to practice extra.

Anyway, this situation happens almost every day, and each other is used to it.

At the same time, at the Espino training base, Simeone and his coaching team are intensively analyzing the weekend's Madrid derby opponent Real Madrid.

Real Madrid have been in excellent form recently. They lost 1:3 in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals last time at the Calderon Stadium, which brought some negative emotions to the players and fans. Therefore, in this case, more rigorous skills are needed. tactics.

On the tactical board in Simeone's hand, he deliberately drew two red lines on the name of his favorite disciple Tang Zheng.

There is no doubt that whether Atletico Madrid can win Real Madrid at home depends on how long Tang Zheng can be restricted throughout the game.

But how easy is it to restrict Tang Zheng?

A battle for the top spot is really heart-wrenching!
