Chapter 1 Preparing for the World Cup (Farewell to 2017, thank you for having you!)

"Ouch-ouch——"

Each Real Madrid player took turns to hold up the Champions League trophy and display it at the Stadium of Light. The Real Madrid fans in the stands were in high spirits and hysterically made deafening cheers.

This night was completely sleepless for many Real Madrid fans.

The Champions League championship that has been waiting for eleven years has arrived again.

The tenth Champions League title since the founding of the team is exciting enough to think about.

Real Madrid Chairman Florentino is one of the most excited people among these people. He is extremely proud of his insistence on buying Tang Zheng last year. 125 million euros in exchange for a Champions League championship and a huge Chinese market, why not?

It is simply a cost-effective investment with high investment and high returns!

Some people are excited, and naturally some people feel disappointed. This is the case for Atletico Madrid fans.

They are extremely close to winning the Champions League this season, but... it's all tears.

Competitive games have always praised the winners. No one pays attention to what the losers have experienced, so everyone's focus is on Real Madrid, which won the championship.

During the regular press conference after the game, the excited Real Madrid players, led by Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, made a big fuss about the championship press conference. Marcelo, known as the team favorite, held a bucket at the instigation of Tang Zheng. Cold water was poured directly on the head of head coach Ancelotti who was being interviewed by reporters, scaring him so much.

The on-site press conference hall burst into laughter in a very cooperative manner, and at the same time there was a continuous clicking sound of filming.

Obviously, these materials are one of the choices that can become the headlines of tomorrow's daytime newspapers.

Real Madrid can win the Champions League this season. Although it is a bit exaggerated to say that Tang Zheng is the biggest contributor, he can definitely be said to be one of the biggest contributors.

Ten goals, fifteen assists.

The other Real Madrid players originally wanted to prank Tang Zheng, but after the team favorite Marcelo failed to prank him and was "beaten" by Tang Zheng, they all gave in. Tang Zheng was tall and strong and had the legendary Chinese Kung Fu, so they could only Randomly prank other teammates.

The Real Madrid players who won the Champions League did not end the carnival in the locker room. They stayed at the hotel to continue celebrating the championship. The carnival lasted until the early morning of the next day.

Real Madrid players, coaches and staff were present in almost the entire hotel. Fortunately, the Real Madrid club's senior management reserved a hotel on the first floor for three days before and after the final in preparation for the Champions League final. Otherwise, it would have likely resulted in complaints from non-football fans.

Of course, the guests who stay at Real Madrid hotels basically come because of the name of Real Madrid, so even if the noise is too loud, there will be no complaints.

The entire Real Madrid team took a charter flight back to Madrid the next afternoon, but did not disband on the spot because the club prepared a grand championship dinner for the team and a city-wide championship parade.

At the same time, sports media all over the world are reporting on the 2013-2014 Champions League final that ended last night at the Stadium of Light in Lisbon. Real Madrid incredibly equalized the score before injury time ended, and then reversed and sealed the victory!

Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored twice, and Tang Zheng, who scored one goal and passed one, became the well-deserved headliners, but most of the domestic media in China chose to ignore Cristiano Ronaldo's role.

Because in the eyes of the Chinese domestic media, praising stars from other countries is as popular as praising compatriots. In addition, Tang Zheng is the absolute contributor to Real Madrid's ability to enter overtime, and Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tang Zheng is giving up to Cristiano Ronaldo.

The first was the go-ahead goal. Tang Zheng faced Courtois alone. Football experts who have studied Tang Zheng all know that his single-shot shooting percentage is even higher than that of the striker, so assisting Cristiano Ronaldo was completely a favor.

Not to mention the penalty kick that sealed the victory, Tang Zheng created it using his outstanding foot skills.

Tang Zheng has not liked to use penalty kicks to increase his goal numbers since his debut, so Cristiano Ronaldo took the penalty kick as a matter of course.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo's ability is undoubted. Both the goal and the penalty kick require excellent foot skills and excellent psychological quality.

Many Chinese domestic media are beginning to look forward to the World Cup in Brazil next month, the second World Cup trip for the Chinese men's football team.

On May 26, local European time, which was the third day after Real Madrid won the Champions League, at 10 a.m., the entire team took the club's double-decker open-top bus from the Valdebebas training base to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Then go from the Bernabeu Stadium to the Plaza de la Harvest to show fans all over the city the Copa del Rey trophy and the Champions League trophy that Real Madrid won in the past 2013-2014 season.

Especially the Champions League trophy, which the Real Madrid team struggled for twelve years to regain.

The tenth in team history!

At the same time, many media around the world have purchased the live broadcast rights for Real Madrid to display the championship trophy around the city. China also has a large number of media purchases, so domestic fans can watch Real Madrid’s championship trophy display throughout the city through the Internet and TV.

Tang Zheng was a key player in Real Madrid's UEFA Champions League win in the 2013-2014 season, so he appeared in broadcasts a lot, and the Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV were particularly excited.

While Real Madrid was driving on an open-top bus, many local Real Madrid fans could be seen from the broadcast screen holding up huge posters of Tang Zheng. They knew that the reason why Real Madrid could win two honors in the past 2013-2014 season was because of Tang Zheng. Direct relationship.

It is worth mentioning that there was a funny scene in the broadcast. Many fans in front of the TV still clearly remember that during the celebration after Real Madrid won the Copa del Rey in the 2010-2011 season, they did not hold the trophy and dropped it, and then was hit by a car. Crush...

So team favorite Marcelo held the other side of the trophy in a funny way, not leaving Ramos alone to hold the trophy high.

Even if Ramos breaks away from Marcelo, other Real Madrid players will swarm up to 'protect' the championship trophy, so much so that Ramos frequently rolls his eyes in the broadcast.

Central 5 commentator He Wei, who was sitting in the Beijing studio, suddenly changed his voice: "The Real Madrid players who won the double championship in the 2013-2014 season seem to be in a very good mood. The World Cup in Brazil next month is getting closer and closer to us. I wonder if Real Madrid Can the players continue to perform well in the World Cup and lead their respective national teams to go further..."

The broadcast happened to show Tang Zheng, who was holding the Champions League trophy and the King's Cup trophy, and He Wei's topic turned to Tang Zheng: "There is no doubt that the biggest star of the Chinese team is the 2013 FIFA Ballon d'Or winner Tang Zheng. River Plate has won championships every season since the beginning of his career. The World Cup in Brazil is about to start next month. The Chinese team is divided into Group C with Colombia, Cote d'Ivoire and Greece. Now Colombia's number one striker Falcao is determined to miss the World Cup due to injury. This is good news for the Chinese team... Even if they lose to the seeded teams, Ivory Coast and Greece can still give it a try, and they may not be able to get second place in the group..."

Duan Xuan, who was a guest commentator, laughed and said: "What He Wei said is right. Our Chinese team coach Lippi once led the Italian team to win the World Cup in Germany. He has rich coaching experience, especially experience in major events. I believe Lippi The Chinese team led by him will definitely advance to the group stage, not to mention advancing to the quarter-finals and semi-finals!"

"Tang Zheng is the absolute core of Real Madrid! Hao Junmin is the vice-captain of Schalke 04, Zhang Linpeng is now the absolute main force of Porto, national goalkeeper Yan Junling has grown rapidly, and young player Lu Liang has the scoring ability. Wu Sanshi played in the Europa League in the past 2013-2014 season. The performance in the league is remarkable, and we have even won the green plums of many deadly teams from the five major European leagues. In terms of overall strength, our Chinese team is absolutely guaranteed to qualify in the group!" He Wei continued.

The Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV listened and listened, and it seemed that... the Chinese team's trip to the World Cup was really worth looking forward to.

The open-top double-decker bus carrying all Real Madrid players arrived at Harvest Square in the center of Madrid, also known as Cibeles Square, an hour later.

This square has the most famous street sculptures and the most beautiful fountain in Madrid. It has become a symbol of Madrid since it was built in 1782. In the past, every time Real Madrid won the championship, all members and fans would come to the square to celebrate.

This is not the first time Tang Zheng has come to Sibeles Square, but it is definitely the first time he has come here with glory.

Tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans were in an orderly manner under the management of the Madrid police, passionately singing the Real Madrid team anthem and blessing the goddess's gift.

The Real Madrid team's song is catchy and can be learned in no time. Even foreign tourists who are visiting can easily sing along with the rhythm. Some tourists even fell in love with football because of the celebration of Real Madrid's championship.

The most fanatical moment in the Harvest Square atmosphere was undoubtedly when captain Casillas put the UEFA Champions League trophy on the Harvest Goddess. Tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans and tourists made deafening cheers in the fanatical atmosphere, "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa— —”

The city of Madrid not only has Real Madrid fans, but also Atletico Madrid fans.

Listening to the shouts from Harvest Square, Atletico Madrid fans felt uncomfortable.

The Champions League champion was once so close...

The 2014 World Cup in Brazil will be held in 12 stadiums in 12 cities in Brazil from the 12th of next month to July 13th. The Real Madrid team will be disbanded after the championship celebration ceremony in Harvest Square.

Originally, the Football Association specially granted Tang Zheng a five-day holiday, which meant that he would meet with the national team at the Xianghe training base on May 31 to officially prepare for the World Cup in Brazil.

But Tang Zheng did not accept the holiday. He took a flight back to China with his family that night.

Without even returning home, he transferred directly to Shanghai and went to the Xianghe training base to join the national team and prepare for the penultimate warm-up match before the start of the World Cup with the Italian men's football team at the Bird's Nest on June 2.

The last warm-up match is on the 7th. The Chinese men's football team will take a charter flight to Santiago, the capital of Chile, and will play the last warm-up match before the start of the World Cup with the Chilean men's football team.

The two warm-up matches were very targeted. Greece in the same group is good at defensive counterattacks, and the same is true for the Italian national team.

Obviously, this warm-up match was a warm-up match opportunity obtained by Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese men's football team, through personal relationships, and the last warm-up match in San Diego was a chance for both teams to have their own needs.

The Chilean team and Colombia are both South American teams and have similar playing styles. This allows the Chinese team to understand the playing style of the two South American teams. The Chilean team needs an Asian team because there is an Asian representative team, Australia, in Group B. As warm-up match opponents, so...the two football associations hit it off.

The news that Tang Zheng, who had attended Real Madrid's championship celebrations, returned to China to prepare for the World Cup without stopping quickly became the headlines of Chinese domestic media. Lippi, the head coach of the Chinese men's football team, highly praised Tang Zheng's moral character in an interview with the media.

In fact, for Tang Zheng, it is just the glory of the country, which is more important than anything else!

However, head coach Lippi and his team suggested that Tang Zheng conduct restorative training first, and then practice tactics with the national team until his physical condition recovers.

As a professional player, Tang Zheng naturally understood Lippi's intentions. Although he was the number one star of the Chinese men's football team, he chose to follow the advice of Lippi's coaching team and first resume training with German physical coach Meyer.

Tang Zheng knew that it would be difficult to catch up with No. 2 for the warm-up match with the Italian men's football team, and he also knew that haste makes waste. Anyway, as the number one star, he will definitely become a core player, and Lippi is a world-class coach. Nature understands this.

The starter can't keep up, but the substitutes are still fine.

It is worth mentioning that before Lippi took charge of the Chinese men's football team, he intended to let Tang Zheng, who has stronger leadership skills, serve as the captain of the national football team. However, Tang Zheng declined in order to express his gratitude to the old captain Zheng Zhi for his contribution to the national team. Therefore, he led the national team. The 34-year-old veteran Zheng Zhi is still competing in the World Cup.

In the blink of an eye, June 2nd came, and the Chinese team faced the Italian national team at the National Stadium.

There is still a full hour before the game starts, and the National Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 fans, is already full.

This shows how strong the appeal of the current Chinese men's football team and the Italian national team is.

The starting lineup for the warm-up match between the Chinese team and the Italian team was as Tang Zheng guessed. He did not appear in the starting lineup, but appeared in the substitute lineup.

At the pre-match press conference for the warm-up match, head coach Lippi also talked about the starting lineup for the warm-up match. He admitted that Tang Zheng, who had played for a full season, would not be in the starting lineup, so no fans were dissatisfied.

Fans who follow European football know that in Real Madrid's past 2013-2014 season, Tang Zheng was basically full-time and played continuously, and he didn't get even a day's rest just after flying back from Madrid. Forcing Tang Zheng into the starting lineup will cause dissatisfaction among fans.

Tang Zheng is a human, not a god!

If the Chinese team wants to go further in the World Cup in Brazil, it still depends on Tang Zheng's performance.

The Italian men's football team once won the World Cup in 2006, but now Italy feels like it is out of touch, but there is no doubt about its level.

Facing the Chinese team, visiting Italy chose to defend and counterattack, while the home team China also tended to defend and counterattack with Lippi taking the lead in technical tactics. Therefore, without Tang Zheng in the middle, it was difficult for the Chinese team to organize an effective attack. The two sides ended with 0: The first half ended with a score of 0.

The game changed sides again in the second half. Tang Zheng, who Chinese fans wanted to see, did not appear as a substitute until the 20th minute of the second half.
