Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 99: The first championship in La Liga career

"Incredible!"

Central 5 commentator He Wei suddenly stood up from the commentary table and shouted hysterically.

At the same time, the entire Mestalla Stadium erupted into deafening cheers: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Real Madrid players on the home team's bench jumped up one after another, ran to the sideline of the court, and even stretched their upper bodies over the sideline.

Although the Barcelona coaching bench and bench also jumped up, their expressions were in sharp contrast to those of the Real Madrid bench players.

Goalkeeper Pinto was initially afraid of Tang Zheng's wide vision and did not expand the defensive area. By the time he realized that Tang Zheng was about to force a breakthrough, it was too late to attack, so he could only stand in front of the goal and wait.

Baltra, who was left behind by Tang Zheng, did not give up the chase. He still gritted his teeth and persisted. However, his persistence did not shorten the distance between them, but instead made them farther and farther apart.

Busquets, who failed to cover the central defender's space in time, simply gave up chasing, because speed was not his advantage in the first place, and he was still more than 20 meters away from Tang Zheng.

However, it is not without good news for Barcelona. Tang Zheng's sprint in the high-speed confrontation consumed a lot of his physical energy, so when the ball entered the penalty area, he did not go well, and he had to slow down to wait for the ball.

Bartra, who was chasing after her, was like a shark smelling blood, but he became depressed as soon as he accelerated two steps.

Tang Zheng has rich experience in the game, and his ability to make temporary adjustments is among the best in the world. While waiting for the ball, his body moved obviously to the right, which was equivalent to being stuck in the path of Bartra chasing the ball in advance.

Since Tang Zheng had already entered the penalty area, Baltra did not dare to hit him, and there was an obvious sudden braking.

At the same time, goalkeeper Pinto chose to abandon the goal from the penalty area and block Tang Zheng's shooting angle.

However, at this moment, Tang Zheng used his right foot to adjust the ball to his left foot. After a slight adjustment, he quickly completed a stab shot.

Pinto's reaction was not unpleasant, but Tang Zheng's shot was unexpected.

Pinto subconsciously closed his legs when he saw the football coming, but it was still half a beat slower than the speed of the football. The football rolled from his closed legs into the unguarded goal behind him...

The fanatical atmosphere of the Mestalla Stadium had an obvious pause at this moment, and then half a second later it resounded through the entire stadium in a more violent way: "Ouch, ow, ow -"

Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, opened his arms in the fanatical atmosphere.

Running all the way.

The other Real Madrid players looked exhausted, and then chased Tang Zheng from all directions.

Immediately, the live broadcast camera temporarily showed the area of ​​the stands where Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo, who missed the King's Cup final due to injury, were present.

There, Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo, dressed in casual clothes, waved their arms excitedly, opened their mouths at the same time, and roared to the sky, venting the great joy brought by Tang Zheng's solo ride for thousands of miles.

Tang Zheng ran to the corner flag area on the right at full speed, then his body weight sank with his knees as the center, his insteps buckled back, and his whole body glided under the green turf for a long distance.

Behind him were a group of kneeling Real Madrid players.

In the home team's coaching bench and bench, Ancelotti and his coaching team huddled together, and the players and Illarramendi, who was about to prepare to play, waved their arms vigorously.

In the Real Madrid fan area at the Mestalla Stadium, fans excitedly waved their fan scarves, and even many excited male fans took off their shirts to express the great joy brought by Tang Zheng's wonderful goal.

"A magical goal!" Central 5 commentator He Wei was full of passion and eloquent: "Passing it to myself three seconds later is the best way for Saint Bale, who is currently playing for Manchester United, and Tang Zheng is not good at scoring goals. Way to break through Barcelona's goal! It's incredible! Real Madrid exceeded the score again 2:1! The goal in this period is undoubtedly the winning goal!"

"...This is a goal worthy of being recorded in history!"

British Sky commentator Martin Taylor shouted loudly the moment Andy Gray finished speaking: "At this moment, Don is like God possessing him, his body, strength, speed, balance, and superb shooting skills in front of the goal Perfectly embodied! Barcelona’s dominance of La Liga will hit rock bottom with the rise of Don’s Real Madrid! There’s no stopping Leo Messi!”

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said calmly after the excitement: "Although Don is not the best player in the world now, he is definitely the best player at this time! Leo Messi was guarded by him. There is no way to show the self-worth of the world's highest transfer fee when Cristiano Ronaldo is unable to play due to injury! If Don's transfer fee is 125 million euros, then it is now worth most of the investment."

The on-site director played the entire process of Tang Zheng's goal through slow-motion playback again and again. His speed and confrontation were fully reflected in this goal, especially those fans who regarded Tang Zheng as their idol, and they ignored others. looked at him with confusion and yelled crazily.

After completing the team's goal celebration, Tang Zheng stood up from the grass, then raised his arms high and waved vigorously towards the passionate Real Madrid fans in the stands.

"Ouch-ouch——"

In response to Tang Zheng, there were overwhelming shouts.

Immediately, the live director's close-up shot showed Barcelona star Messi.

At this time, Messi has no extra emotion. It is not difficult to see the three words "unwilling" from his expression.

Bartra and Busquets, who made fatal mistakes, lowered their heads and didn't know what they were thinking.

Goalkeeper Pinto has a big or small responsibility, and his mood is not much better.

I originally thought I could establish my starting position during the period when Valdez was injured, but now it seems that it is very difficult...

After a brief loss of body, Barcelona coach Martino turned and shouted to his assistant, asking him to call Sanchez over in the warm-up area and prepare to play.

At the same time, Real Madrid is ready to make substitution adjustments before the start of the game.

Casemiro stood next to the fourth official, waiting to come on.

No. 23 Isco comes off, No. 16 Casemiro comes on.

In other words, Real Madrid's formation has changed from the original 4,231 to Ancelotti's most comfortable 4,32, commonly known as the Christmas tree formation.

A goal occurred in the 87th minute of the game, and Ancelotti had enough reason to convince himself to hold on to the current score for the rest of the game.

Regarding Ancelotti’s substitution adjustment, Central 5 commentator He Wei’s tone was very calm: “Real Madrid scored in the last few minutes of regular time, which was nothing short of a winner. Ancelotti used cards with stronger defensive capabilities. It is very reasonable for Semiro to play, there is not much time left, both sides are very physically exhausted, and the defense is not shameful..."

In fact, Ancelotti was going to use Illarramendi, but Tang Zheng scored at the critical moment, so it was more appropriate to replace Illarramendi with Casemiro, who has a stronger defensive ability when leading. .

In addition, Casemiro can effectively relieve Xavi Alonso's defensive pressure, allowing him to free up time to participate in the offense. Because Tang Zheng appears in the attacking midfielder position, there is a lack of ball release points in the central midfielder. Ronso's role is obviously the most suitable player on the field.

Half a minute later, Barcelona requested a substitution.

No. 9 Sanchez replaced No. 15 Bartra who made a fatal mistake.

Of course, Martino removed Bartra not because Bartra made a fatal mistake, but because only Bartra could be removed in the defense.

Adriano was replaced only in the second half. Alves and Mascherano had rich experience in the game and could not be easily removed at critical moments, so the young Bartra became the one who was sacrificed.

"Ouch-ouch——"

It has been more than a minute since the game restarted, and the Real Madrid fans in the stands are still excited, dancing and making waves.

The Barcelona fans seen from the broadcast looked very depressed. They couldn't see the possibility of equalizing the score when they fell behind, because the confidence of the Barcelona players seemed to have been completely wiped out by Tang Zheng's solo effort.

Messi, Iniesta and Pedro's desire to move forward has dropped significantly. Only Sanchez, who came off the bench, is very motivated.

However, a football match cannot change the scene of the match solely by relying on the enthusiasm of individual players. In addition, the momentum gained by Real Madrid players through Tang Zheng's solo goal is immeasurable. Therefore, it is difficult for Barcelona's offense to retreat to the half-court defense. Find an opportunity with Real Madrid.

Ancelotti's Christmas tree formation once shined in the Champions League in the 2006-2007 season. He has a unique insight into this formation. Martino's on-the-spot dispatching ability is slightly insufficient and cannot really find the loopholes in Real Madrid's defense.

Tang Zheng's enthusiasm has also greatly increased after scoring. His running coverage is very large. On the offensive end, he can often be seen using passing arrangements to reasonably consume the game time, and on the defensive end, he can appear in the penalty area.

The B2B midfielder is fully exposed.

In the blink of an eye, 90 minutes of regular time arrived, and the fourth official appeared on the display screen. He held up the electronic sign for four minutes of injury time, which meant that there were still four minutes left in the 2013-2014 Copa del Rey.

Sanchez cherished the few minutes he came off the bench, so he worked very hard, hoping to use the last game time to help Barcelona equalize the score.

Tang Zheng paid so much attention to his friend Sanchez in stoppage time that he even gave up offense to make up for the deficiencies in defense.

I have to say that Sanchez’s fighting spirit is very strong. If Martino could replace Sanchez ten minutes earlier, the game situation may be different. After all, Barcelona is currently in a sluggish state due to the impact of conceding goals. Sanchez alone cannot drive the whole team. Team.

Moreover, Sanchez has recently thought about leaving the team. He has been neglected to varying degrees in the locker room and has no support from his teammates. Therefore... Sanchez who appeared on the broadcast screen seemed particularly helpless.

Messi really wants to help the team equalize the score, but he is really too tired now. The team is fully engaged in the three-line battle. It is difficult to adjust psychologically to the impact of being eliminated from the Champions League and losing in the league in the last two games, so he gave One feels powerless.

Martino looked anxious in front of the visiting team's coaching bench, but he was helpless.

Now this team relies too much on Messi, so much so that when Messi is not in good condition, it will cause the whole team to misfire.

Being eliminated from the Champions League and losing in the league are all due to Messi's poor condition, especially in this game.

"Hey~"

Martino let out a long sigh.

In addition, Real Madrid did not choose to simply retreat in the stoppage time. Benzema and Di Maria were always ready, and Barcelona's defensive players did not dare to completely give up the defense. Therefore, just after the fourth minute of stoppage time, the referee pulled the ball. Os then blew the full-time whistle, two short and one long: "Beep~Beep~Beep~~"

Central 5 commentator He Vera spoke loudly and passionately: "The game is over! The game is over! Real Madrid finally relied on Tang Zheng's pass and shot to defeat their archrival Barcelona 2:1 at the Mestalla Stadium, thereby winning the 2013-2014 season king title. Cup champion! Currently, Real Madrid is only four points behind Atletico Madrid in the league, and has successfully entered the semi-finals of the Champions League. They are very likely to win the treble this season! Here... Congratulations to Real Madrid for winning the Copa del Rey, and I hope Tang Zheng Under his leadership, Real Madrid can go further in the Champions League and the league and win the final championship..."

British Sky commentator Andy Gray also said the end of the game: "The game is over! Real Madrid in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo Vieira da Silva Junior In the end, thanks to Tang's pass and shot in the second half, we defeated Barcelona 2:1 and won the 19th Copa del Rey championship in the team's history! Congratulations to Real Madrid! Congratulations to Tang!"

At the same time, the on-site director's close-up shot showed Real Madrid No. 10 Tang Zheng, who performed top-notch in this game.

Tang Zheng in the broadcast screen raised his hands and hugged his teammates excitedly, expressing his hard-won victory in the game.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif said with emotion: "Last summer's record-breaking price of 105 million euros plus 20 million euros in floating terms to introduce Tang's Real Madrid was a very good deal. They won the King's Cup in the first season. The following La Liga and Champions League also have the opportunity to win the final championship, coupled with the huge Chinese market behind Tang, I think... Real Madrid has recovered its investment at this time..."

The expression of the commentator on Catalunya Sports TV was almost the same as that of the Barcelona players seen on the broadcast screen, but his tone was very sharp: "The head coach Gerardo Martino who is responsible for Barcelona's loss to Real Madrid must be fully responsible. , His tactical routines lacked changes, and his substitutions and adjustments were unremarkable..."

Tang Zheng, who was the center of attention, did not forget his mission. While the Spanish Football Association staff built a simple podium, he wore the Chinese flag and made the red five-star red flag appear on the Spanish stadium for the first time.

Not long after, a simple podium was set up, and all Real Madrid coaches and players, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo, who were not included in the 18-man squad due to injury, took the top prize one after another. Captain Casillas holds the championship trophy aloft...
