Midfielder Ruler

Real Madrid equalized the score with Tang Zheng's stunning kick in the last minute of regular time. The Real Madrid fans in the stands became even more passionate, with deafening cheers rising higher and higher.

Looking around, there is not a single fan in the entire stadium sitting there watching the game. They are all standing in front of the seats with excited hearts, nervousness and anticipation coexisting.

Real Madrid, who had equalized the score, were full of momentum and ran vigorously amidst huge shouts, hoping to overtake the score before the injury time ended.

But after all, Real Madrid had one less player to play, and the space in the huge Bernabeu Stadium was not fully utilized. Barcelona's full retreat left Real Madrid with not much offensive space. In addition, the physical exertion of Real Madrid players was even higher during the injury time of the game. serious.

The defensive players were a little worried that Barcelona, ​​which was fully retreating, would seize the opportunity of a quick counterattack to overtake the score again. Based on this situation, the two full-backs did not dare to participate in the attack at the same time.

The intimidating power of Messi, Sanchez and Iniesta is there and cannot be underestimated.

Therefore, the score remained unchanged until the referee Marienko called the end of the game, 4:4, with each side getting one point.

This result is naturally unacceptable to both sides of the game, but it is also within the acceptable range. Compared with not scoring, one point is completely acceptable.

Of course, the most satisfying thing is Atletico Madrid, which won this round.

Real Madrid and Barcelona each scored one point, and Atletico Madrid's points lead changed from four and five points to three and four points.

With nine rounds left in the league, three and four points may become important weights in their fight for the championship this season.

The referee Marienko had just blown the whistle for the end of the game. Central 5 commentator He Wei couldn't wait to shout: "The game is over! The game is over! Real Madrid, sitting at the Bernabeu Stadium, finally relied on Chinese player Tang Zheng to win at the end of regular time. The world wave scored in one minute and tied with the powerful Barcelona 4:4 at home! But we must know that it is not difficult to draw against Barcelona. What is difficult is to reverse the defeat with one less player. If the game lasts longer, I think Tang Zheng will lead Real Madrid may reverse Barcelona at home..."

While Hevey was gushing, Real Madrid players were not as excited as expected, and the same was true for Barcelona.

Obviously, not a single point was the outcome they had planned.

Tang Zheng, who wore the Real Madrid captain's armband for the first time, put his hands on his hips with a look of helplessness on his face. His mind unnaturally thought of the injury time period. If the offensive organization was more patient and the final kick was more accurate, the score... might change.

At this moment, a hand was placed on Tang Zheng's right shoulder.

He looked back and saw his friend Sanchez.

Immediately, Tang Zheng's smile bloomed, he raised his right hand and held it with Sanchez's raised right hand. He hugged Sanchez with his left hand and said with a smile: "Hey, buddy, I'm sorry, I didn't let you win the game."

After that, I felt a little bad and added: "You performed very well, but I gave you too little time..."

Instead of the expected smile, Sanchez sighed meaningfully.

Tang Zheng and Sanchez are very good friends, starting from the time when they played for River Plate until now, so he knows Sanchez relatively well. He said: "Unhappy? Why don't you...come to our team?"

"Come to Real Madrid?" Sanchez's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head and said, "Let's forget it."

Sanchez, who was about to say something else, saw a Real Madrid player coming over from the corner of his eye and said: "You invite me to dinner tomorrow."

"OK!"

As a rule between good friends, it is not advisable to get together before the game, but there is no such scruple after the game, so Tang Zheng was very happy.

As soon as Sanchez turned around and walked away, Ramos walked up to Tang Zheng and opened his arms: "Thank you, Tang."

"You are also keeping hope for the team." Tang Zheng patted Ramos on the back and smiled: "We are a team, it's just a pity that we couldn't win the game."

Ramos is a man of temperament. He doesn’t say too many sensational words.

He patted Tang Zheng hard on the back and apologized to the other teammates.

----------

Although the result of the game was a bit difficult for Ancelotti and Martino to accept, one point was not the worst result. Therefore, the coaches of both sides were not rude after the game. They took the initiative to walk towards each other and shake hands.

Immediately, the on-site director gave Messi a close-up shot.

British Sky commentator Andy Gray shook his head and said: "In my opinion, Leo Messi, who scored a hat trick, did not perform as well as Don. He made no contribution except three goals. Unlike Don, he has his own offense and defense. Shadow, he ranks first in many statistics in this game."

Martin Taylor pouted and said: "This is a sad thing about football games. The focus is always on the players who score the most goals. If Don didn't have more goals and assists in the 2012-2013 season, I think he would also. Ignored by those so-called judges, right?"

At the same time, Tang Zheng, one of Real Madrid's best performers in this game, was interviewed by domestic reporters in the mixed zone.

In fact, the questions asked by the domestic media are similar, and they are nothing more than asking about reaching the world wave and wearing the captain's armband.

Entering the world wave is a daily operation for Tang Zheng. In the past two seasons, many media have given him the title of 'World Wave Specialist', so it is easy to answer. However, wearing the captain's armband on his left arm makes it a little difficult for Tang Zheng to answer.

After all, the captain of a top European club like Real Madrid has always looked not at ability and international influence, but rather at qualifications.

Obviously, Tang Zheng, who was wearing the captain's armband, was a junior player on the court at that time, so Tang Zheng hesitated for about five seconds before answering: "Of course I was caught off guard at first, I didn't expect it at all, but as time went by It's just that, it's just that the burden on me is heavier, but only when there is pressure will I be motivated. It turns out that pressure has a promoting effect on me..."

The domestic media admired Tang Zheng to a very high degree, so no matter what Tang Zheng said, reporters always smiled brightly.

Because... Tang Zheng is the pride of the entire China!

At the regular press conference after the game, visiting team Martino and Messi were interviewed by the media in low spirits.

Of course, the same was true for the home team coaches Ancelotti and Tang Zheng who participated later.

The only difference is that Tang Zheng is full of confidence in the future. He firmly believes that Atletico Madrid will make mistakes in the next nine rounds of the league.

But……

What I never expected was that neither Atletico Madrid nor Barcelona made any mistakes, but Real Madrid made the first mistake.

Real Madrid, who visited the Pizjuan Stadium, broke the deadlock with the in-form Tang Zheng, but central defenders Pepe and Varane made consecutive mistakes, allowing Sevilla, who played at home, to reverse the score.

Real Madrid as a guest also had bad luck. Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo hit the crossbar once each.

In the end, Real Madrid lost to Sevilla 1:2 as a guest.

In the other two focus battles later, Barcelona defeated Celta Vigo 3-0 at home, and Atletico Madrid defeated Granada 1:0 at home. That is to say, after the 30th round of the 2013-2014 La Liga season, Atletico Madrid took the lead. Real Madrid is six points behind Barcelona, ​​falling to third place in the rankings.

Originally, the difficult draw with Barcelona at home had already put a certain amount of pressure on Real Madrid. However, with the away defeat at the Pizjuan Stadium, the pressure on the players became even greater.

Starting next week, we will re-enter the rhythm of the Champions League. There will be double matches in a week. The difficulty of the Champions League quarter-finals at home against Dortmund is self-evident. By then, the focus of preparations will definitely shift.

But under such circumstances, losing to Sevilla as a guest, Real Madrid, which attracted much attention, was naturally judged by various media.

No matter who it is, everyone is criticized by the media.

Cristiano Ronaldo was considered by a large number of media to stick to the ball and shoot wildly. Tang Zheng, whose performance has always been stable, was considered by the sensational media to be in decline. His shooting was not decisive enough, and his ability to pass and threaten the ball was declining...

Tang Zheng had already completely ignored the media's judgment.

After all, the media is all about so-called sales, and whether the injury will hurt the judging players is not something they should consider.

※※※

The away defeat to Sevilla was Real Madrid's third defeat of the season. The result of the loss directly caused their ranking to drop from second to third. What is even more unacceptable is that they were surpassed by Atletico Madrid by six points. , two wins.

If this is the beginning of the league, a six-point gap is nothing. The problem is that there are only eight rounds left in the league.

With La Liga in its sprint phase, will Atletico Madrid allow themselves to make mistakes?

Of course mistakes will happen, but the probability is not high.

But there is good news for Real Madrid, which is lagging behind in points. Atletico Madrid will challenge the Basque Lions Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal away from home in the next quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Considering the importance of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid's focus of preparations will definitely shift, and then it will be time for Real Madrid to chase points.

Real Madrid will face the downstream team Rayo Vallecano at home over the weekend. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Real Madrid, which made several position rotations, defeated Rayo Rayo Vallecano 5:0 at the Bernabeu, sweeping away the 1:2 away loss to Serbia last weekend. Villa's decline.

Perhaps Atletico Madrid is too concerned about the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals as a guest at the Nou Camp next week. Atletico Madrid lost to the Basque Lion Athletic Bilbao 1:2 at the San Mames Stadium...

Barcelona was a guest to challenge their local rival Espanyol, and with Messi's decisive victory, they won 1:0 away from home.

In this way, after thirty rounds of La Liga in the 2013-2014 season, Atletico Madrid ranked first with 76 points, Barcelona ranked second in the league with 75 points, and Real Madrid ranked third in the league with 73 points.

Originally, it seemed that Atletico Madrid was leading the league with four points and was the most favorable contender for the league championship. However, as the Champions League knockout rounds approached, the problem of their insufficient bench depth was infinitely magnified, and they had reservations and lost to Athletic Bilbao in an away game. Reflected vividly.

In particular, there is only one point difference between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona. The two teams will have three matches next, two of which are the Champions League quarter-finals, and the other is the last round of La Liga this season. Barcelona will face them at Camp Nou. Atletico Madrid.

Therefore, if Real Madrid wants to maintain its impact on the league championship, it must first ensure that it does not make any more mistakes, otherwise everything will be in vain.

The schedule is relatively favorable to Real Madrid. Their remaining eight league opponents are relatively easy to beat, and the only one that is slightly difficult is Valencia, but playing at home will somewhat increase their chances of winning.

Closer to home, Real Madrid, which has reduced its league points, shifted its focus to the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Real Madrid will face defending champion Borussia Dortmund at the Bernabeu.

There is only one change in position between the current Dortmund team and the invincible Dortmund team last season, which is Mkhitaryan replacing Tang Zheng. However, Mkhitaryan’s ability is obviously not comparable to Tang Zheng, so Real Madrid’s hope of winning at home is Very big.

However, there is no underdog in the Champions League, especially the defending champion.

Bundesliga teams have always been the victims of La Liga teams, so Ancelotti's preparations are very rigorous.

After a season, Tang Zheng was not ready to face his old club on the court, even if it was half a month after the Champions League quarter-final draw.

If you ask Tang Zheng which team he is least willing to play against, he will answer Dortmund without hesitation.

Dortmund is more than just a team to Tang Zheng, it is a team, a real team, with the warmth of family, and the fans are also very cute. During home games, the Westfalenstadion always produces deafening loud cheers. .

Especially the frenetic South Stand, which is in a state of extreme activity from the beginning to the end of the game.

Tang Zheng, who was preparing for the Champions League quarter-finals at the Valdebebas training base, was obviously a little distracted. His handling of the ball was slower than in the past, and his passing accuracy was not enough.

Head coach Carlo Ancelotti is an old fox, and he could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with Tang Zheng's mentality.

So, Ancelotti took his assistant Zidane and chatted for a few words.

Many times, it will be effective if Zidane and Tang Zheng, who have a better relationship, come forward.

Facts have proved that football veteran Zidane is very suitable to serve as a bridge between coaches and players. Tang Zheng's attention increased significantly during the training session that afternoon.

Although it can't be said to be at its peak, Ancelotti believes that Tang Zheng will keep up with the team's progress as the Champions League quarter-finals approach.

Barcelona VS Atletico Madrid and Manchester United VS Bayern Munich are played on the first UEFA Champions League match day in mid-week, while Real Madrid VS Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain VS Chelsea are played on the second UEFA Champions League match day.

The entire Real Madrid team watched the live broadcast of the match between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, but due to time constraints, the players watched it at home.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not, but the two Champions League games that reignited midweek ended up 1:1.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Tang Zheng was very satisfied.

With no winner decided at Camp Nou, both sides will focus on the second leg.

By then Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will shift their attention to the Champions League to varying degrees, and the league will naturally relax...

Real Madrid, which takes the initiative to make mistakes, will have a good opportunity to chase points!

Immediately, Tang Zheng got up, turned off the TV, returned to his room to take a shower and sleep, and faced his old club with a good attitude.
