The 2013-2014 La Liga season is very exciting. The points of the three teams competing for the league championship are quite subtle. The leader Atletico Madrid ranks first with a one-point advantage. Real Madrid ranks second with a difference of one point. Barcelona is four points behind Atletico Madrid and behind Real Madrid. Three points.

But because Atletico Madrid will face Real Madrid at the Calderon Stadium after the Champions League match day, this game is a veritable battle for the top spot.

If there is no way to determine the outcome of this game, once Barcelona wins, the points difference between the three teams will be further narrowed, making the final ownership of the La Liga championship this season even more confusing.

Therefore, the Spanish media and European mainstream media are very concerned about the first-place battle that woke up at the Calderon Stadium on the weekend. Likewise, Barcelona is also paying attention.

Due to the lineup rotation in the league before the Champions League match, the team was not running smoothly and lost on the road. If Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid cannot decide the winner, once they win at home, the point difference will be minimized. This season's championship competition There is still drama.

After all, there is still a national derby and a home game against Atletico Madrid in the final round of the league.

One point, no longer a problem.

The local media in Catalonia are very united, so before the Madrid derby, they consciously incited the emotions of both sides of the game and created opportunities for Barcelona to narrow the score.

There have been a total of three Madrid derbies this season. Both sides have achieved one win, one draw and one loss. Real Madrid leads in terms of goals, scoring three goals and conceding two.

However, the home results were not good, with one draw and one loss, but they successfully won the away game against Atletico Madrid 3:1.

However, Atletico Madrid players were very unconvinced by their 1:3 home defeat to Real Madrid. Many Atletico Madrid players even expressed the "subjective reasons" for the loss in interviews and tweets after the game.

Facing the upcoming Madrid derby, Atletico Madrid players are working hard and must defeat Real Madrid in the next home game.

First of all, I have enough confidence after defeating Real Madrid 1:0 in the league away game. In addition, I lost to Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-finals at home and I want to save face.

At the regular press conference before the game, the first people to be interviewed were the visiting team coach Carlo Ancelotti and the captain Ramos who will start tomorrow night.

In interviews with the media, both Ancelotti and Ramos showed great confidence.

The media supporting Atletico Madrid will naturally not make Ancelotti and Ramos happy, and they will make things difficult for them.

However, Anqi Luodi and Ramos have a very correct mentality, saying that they can win the Copa del Rey semifinals at the Calderon Stadium this season, and they can also win the next league top battle.

In the press conference before the game, the tit-for-tat questions and answers never stopped, and the two sides did not continue to argue.

After all... everything will have to wait until the end of the game to reveal who was slapped in the face.

Half an hour later, it was the home team's regular press conference.

Simeone is still full of energy, and he brings the team's striker Diego Costa.

In the entire Atletico Madrid team, only the iron-blooded Atletico Madrid coached by Diego Costa and Simeone have similar temperaments.

It's not that other players don't have an iron-blooded spirit, but Diego Costa brings his iron-blooded spirit to full play and is often able to help the team win profits with his clever mind.

Immediately, everything that happened at the away team's regular press conference was repeated at the home team's regular press conference.

The only difference is that Simeone's answer was more direct, or more suggestive, than Ancelotti's.

He said with great momentum: "Want to win at the Calderon Stadium? It doesn't exist! What? 1:3 at home in the semi-finals of the King's Cup. You also know that it is the King's Cup! For us, the league championship is as important as The Copa del Rey is much more important!”

Diego Costa, who was interviewed by the media, talked about tomorrow night's game. He said: "Goal? No problem at all! Because my responsibility is to score goals!"

The speed of information dissemination in modern society is terrifying. The regular press conference has just concluded over there.

Basically everyone knows it on the Internet.

Real Madrid players and Atletico Madrid players are obviously very dissatisfied with each other's remarks. In addition to not naming each other on Twitter, what they want to express is basically to ridicule each other.

As one of the core players of Real Madrid, Tang Zheng is naturally targeted by Atletico Madrid players, especially Turan, the international player from Turkey. He tweeted that he will work with his teammates to limit Tang Zheng 100% in tomorrow night's game. Zheng.

Tang Zheng smiled and didn't pay too much attention to this.

Because... dogs that bark don't bite.

Besides, taunting your opponent on the eve of a battle doesn't mean you're afraid of the opponent?

In this regard, Tang Zheng's mentality was very correct.

Tomorrow night's Madrid derby is related to the top spot, and he is holding back his energy to explode at the Calderon Stadium!

In particular, he wanted to let his mentor Simone know that his most popular disciple liked to cheat his master.

March 2, local time in Spain, is an ordinary day for many people, but it is an unusual day for fans. The 252nd Madrid Derby will be staged at the Calderon Stadium.

The two teams have met 153 times before in the league. Real Madrid has the upper hand with 85 wins, 32 draws and 36 losses. The away record is 76 games, 33 wins, 20 draws and 23 losses.

However, having the upper hand in mutual battles does not mean anything. In the past four matches between the two teams, Atletico Madrid has the advantage, with two wins, one draw and one loss. They have met three times this season, with one win, one draw and one loss.

In the league, Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid away from home.

This campaign moves to the Calderon Stadium, and everything has to start again. Past results can only be used as reference and motivation, but cannot be the key to the outcome of the game.

Before the game, players from both sides took the lead in using online platforms to start the battle, which has attracted the attention of fans around the world.

After all, the war of words before the game can add excitement to the game.

At the Calderon Stadium, there are still more than two hours before the start of the game, and the outer square is already filled with fans from both sides.

They looked down on each other, so there was no communication, and there was not much conflict between the two sides because of the police presence to maintain order.

Of course, verbal conflicts are inevitable.

The banners and slogans held high by Atletico Madrid fans are not acceptable to Real Madrid fans, and the banners and slogans held high by Real Madrid fans are also unacceptable to Atletico Madrid fans, so verbal conflicts occur normally.

Fortunately, the police who maintained order responded promptly and stopped the altercation in time when it was about to escalate.

In reality, there is police interference, but online it can be said that there is no one to stop it.

According to the official Twitter accounts of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, their respective official Twitter accounts were bombarded by fans of the other team before the game. This kind of bombardment does not mean a verbal bombardment, but an attack by hackers.

Closer to home, when Real Madrid players appeared at the Calderon Stadium to warm up, huge boos like a mountain roar and a tsunami quickly swept through the entire stadium from the player tunnel.

Real Madrid players have long been accustomed to this kind of booing, but in the final analysis, booing is a noise that affects the mood. Getting used to it is one thing, but listening to it in a tense game is another.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo looked at each other, stretched out each other's right hands, and shook them hard. They saw absolute confidence in each other's eyes.

Before the start of the Madrid derby, the result has been reported from the Camp Nou. Barcelona defeated Almeria at home 4:1.

Barcelona tied Real Madrid in points with one game in hand and was only one point away from Atletico Madrid.

Whether it was Simeone in the home team's locker room or Ancelotti in the visiting team's locker room, they both seemed helpless.

Although the result has long been determined, people often get lucky when the result of the game does not appear. What if Barcelona loses points at home?

That way, the team has a certain margin for error.

However, as Barcelona defeated Almeria 4:1, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid had to work harder for the next Madrid derby.

Not long after, the players from both sides appeared on the court with their ball boys in hand and followed the referee team.

The Calderon Stadium can accommodate 54,000 fans, and the seats are packed. Atletico Madrid fans in red and white striped jerseys and Real Madrid fans in white jerseys are clearly distinguishable.

Due to the difference between home and guest, Atletico Madrid fans at home have an absolute advantage. When players from both sides play, the home fans create a fanatical atmosphere to cheer for the home team.

In the south stand of the stadium, die-hard Atletico Madrid fans built a huge TIFO show.

In the middle is a huge cartoon poster that occupies 50% of the area of ​​the south stand. Cartoon fans with strong bodies and red and white striped shirts beat a fair-haired cartoon character wearing a crown.

On both sides of the huge cartoon poster, there were a large number of fans holding up red or white mosaics, and then beating them into stripes of Atletico Madrid's traditional jersey colors.

The mosaic of red and white makes the huge anime poster even more imposing, giving the team a sense of belonging while also putting a certain amount of psychological pressure on the opponents.

After the necessary pre-match ceremony, Real Madrid players received various greetings from the home fans at half court, which was even more serious than the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals half a month ago.

All kinds of abuses are pouring out, overwhelming.

Tang Zheng frowned, obviously hearing what the home fans were cursing.

In fact, for Tang Zheng, it is understandable for fans to scold him, after all, he is an opponent, but it is not understandable for fans to scold his family.

Of course, Tang Zheng did not fight back. He held back his energy and let the home fans know in the next game that some people should not be 'offended' casually!

At the same time, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone, who returned to the coaching bench, subconsciously looked at his proud disciple Tang Zheng.

When he saw Tang Zheng's face full of anger, he felt something bad in his heart.

When he was coaching River Plate, whenever Tang Zheng had this angry expression on his face, he would often perform extremely well in the game.

The passionate shouts of the home fans will indeed bring psychological hints to the home team, and it will also be a double-edged sword.

Thinking of this, Simeone left the coaching bench again, walked to the home team's command area, shouted at Cork, and then raised his finger to signal him to come over for the latest instructions.

It wasn't until Cork nodded lightly that Simeone felt a little more relieved, but he did not return to the coaching bench, but stood in the home team coach's command area, waiting for the game to start.

The Atletico Madrid fans at the Calderon Stadium are very enthusiastic and create a very fanatical atmosphere.

Against this backdrop, the energy the home team unleashed was unimaginable.

Even though Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti and his coaching team made sufficient plans before the game, the team had a very difficult time at the beginning of the game.

Tang Zheng and Xabi Alonso, who are the source of Real Madrid's offense, are closely guarded by Atletico Madrid players. It is difficult for the offense to create a threat. In addition, Atletico Madrid players' movements are a bit too big, and Real Madrid players can't let go.

The time has come to March, and there are still more than three months before the opening of the World Cup in Brazil. Most of the Real Madrid players are the main core international players. If they are injured at this juncture, they are likely to miss the quadrennial feast.

Tang Zheng's good friend Falcao suffered a serious knee injury in the French Cup 1/16 finals at the end of January. The earliest return time is expected to be July, which means Falcao is likely to miss this year's World Cup in Brazil. .

The same is true for Tang Zheng. He finally led the Chinese team to the World Cup and then had the opportunity to compete in the World Cup. If he misses the World Cup due to serious injuries like Falcao, it will be a lifelong regret.

Especially since Tang Zheng has not had any serious injuries since the beginning of his career, he is even more worried.

Just like a person who has never been sick, once he gets sick, it is a serious illness.

Faced with the fierce moves of Atletico Madrid players, Tang Zheng would subconsciously avoid them to avoid injuries.

Central 5 commentator He Wei was in a heavy mood: "To be honest, the Atletico Madrid players' movements were very big. Compared with the first three Madrid derbies this season, they were bigger. They could choose to close their feet but didn't. I'm worried that if this continues, Affecting the normal development of the game..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cristiano Ronaldo received a cross pass from Tang Zheng. From the corner of his eye, he saw an Atletico Madrid player approaching at high speed. He subconsciously moved the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot. Before he could take off, He was swept to the ground by Raul Garcia who was following him.

The referee Ferrero's whistle sounded, but Cristiano Ronaldo, who fell to the ground, was very dissatisfied. He instantly jumped up and roared at Raul Garcia, who had committed the foul, and spattered the opponent's face.

As a Bacchus, Raul Garcia is full of blood and has a hot temper. He immediately responded to Cristiano Ronaldo's roar.

Immediately, their teammates gathered around him, and Tang Zheng stood directly in front of Cristiano Ronaldo, looking down at Raul Garcia from a high position.

In the past five minutes of the game, Tang Zheng was also violated by Raul Garcia continuously, so his tone seemed particularly angry.

Diego Costa was very dissatisfied with the tone of Tang Zheng's words, and he pushed Tang Zheng away from the side.

Ramos, who was very dissatisfied with the big moves of Atletico Madrid players, naturally had to play the role of captain. He questioned Diego Costa from the side.

Seeing that more and more players from both sides were involved in physical conflicts, referee Ferrero quickly blew his whistle and ran between the players on both sides, temporarily acting as an isolation zone. In addition, the assistant referee also rushed into the field to assist the referee. referee.

Professional players are full of energy and their emotions can easily explode, but they can also be easily forgotten.

After all...the competition is the most important thing.

Immediately, it was time for the referee Ferrero to settle the score.

Raul Garcia and Cristiano Ronaldo, who caused the conflict, each received a yellow card, and Tang Zheng and Diego Costa each received a verbal warning.
