The next day, the headlines of the world's sports media basically revolved around the Madrid derby in the second leg of the 2014-2015 La Liga season that ended last night at the Calderon Stadium. Real Madrid finally won the club's fourth frontcourt with Tang Zheng. Two shots and one pass defeated Atletico Madrid 4:3 as a guest.

If you just look at the score, it may not attract the attention of the world, but the score is that the home team Atletico Madrid went from a 3:0 lead to Real Madrid scoring four goals in a row to turn the score into 3:4, and the meaning becomes extraordinary.

Real Madrid had not won the first and 3000th La Liga game before, so the media and fans who supported Atletico Madrid believed that the game at the Calderon Stadium would eventually end with Atletico Madrid winning.

Of course, if the game is only 60 minutes, Atletico Madrid can indeed defeat Real Madrid at home, and it will be a hearty and suppressive victory.

But when the 90-minute regular time ended, the scoreboard was 3:3. At the end of injury time, the score became 3:4.

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

How could such a dramatic Madrid derby not attract the attention of the world?

Tang Zheng, who became the best player on the spot with two shots and one pass, even became a front-page figure in major media. Because Real Madrid fell behind by two goals in the first half, Tang Zheng sat on the bench after participating in the Asian Cup and had not recovered his physical fitness.

Although the scene did not change much after coming off the bench, as he adapted to the rhythm of the game, Real Madrid's game situation was significantly improved, setting the tone for the subsequent equalizer and victory over Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid's points for winning the league increased from the original 59 points to 62 points, and the points with Atletico Madrid reached double digits. Since Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao 5:2 as a guest, their points with Real Madrid are still six points.

With sixteen rounds left in the league, it is very possible for Real Madrid to win the La Liga championship this season as long as they do not make major mistakes.

It cannot be said that Real Madrid's victory is certain. It can only be said that according to the current league situation, Real Madrid does have a great possibility of winning the championship.

After 22 league rounds, Real Madrid is the only undefeated team in La Liga, with 20 wins, two draws and 62 points.

Prior to this, the best record in the first 22 rounds of La Liga was created by Barcelona in the 2012-2013 season. In the first 22 rounds, 19 wins, two draws, and one loss totaled 59 points. This means that Real Madrid has created a new top 22 record. League points record.

Madrid Derby believes that if Real Madrid can continue to defeat Atletico Madrid, it is very possible to refresh its own record of 100 points in the league in the 2011-2012 season and 2012-2013 season with Barcelona.

Originally, defeating Atletico Madrid was the result of Tang Zheng's plan, because defeating the league championship competitor was a six-point game. However, when he saw media reports about the league points record, his eyes rolled and he felt something new in his heart. Goal.

In Tang Zheng's career, in addition to pursuing victory and glory, there is also records.

Domestic media reports in China even portrayed Tang Zheng as a god-like being who first led the Chinese team to win the Asian Cup with his own personal power, and then turned the tide to help Real Madrid defeat Atletico Madrid.

Chinese fans are also happy to see this kind of news, because Tang Zheng is a person that every Chinese is proud of.

The Real Madrid players who won against Atletico Madrid got two days of rest. The difference between Tang Zheng and the past is that he did not return to the Valdebebas training base for extra training day after day. It is not that he lost himself under the media reports. , but his girlfriend Zhao Lina will represent the Lyon women's football team in the Women's Champions League knockout round. As her boyfriend, Tang Zheng naturally has to go to the scene in person to cheer for his girlfriend in his free time.

Perhaps it was Tang Zheng's on-site cheering that gave Zhao Lina endless strength. Her excellent competitive form kept the goal in check, helping the Lyon Women's Football Team beat Arsenal Women's Football Team 3-0 at home in the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals.

The first leg of the women's UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals has ended, and the first leg of the men's UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals has also entered a countdown.

Tang Zheng, who returned to Madrid, followed the team into the Champions League preparation day. Before that, Real Madrid faced the challenge of Deportivo La Coruna at home. With the goals of Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid easily defeated Deportivo La Coruna 2:0 at home.

In addition to Barcelona's 5:0 home victory over Levante in this round to maintain the points pressure on Real Madrid, in the last round at home, Real Madrid reversed Atletico Madrid's losing streak and lost to Celta Vigo 0:2 as a guest. It is worth mentioning that he helped the home team. The goal that Erta opened the door to victory was the Chinese international Sun Jingbo who was loaned out by Barcelona.

While the Champions League 1/8 finals held in mid-week attracted attention from Europe, the Asian continent also paid great attention, especially from China.

At the Veltins Arena, the home team Schalke 04 faced the challenge of Real Madrid.

Before the game, countless media felt helpless for Schalke 04. They were drawn to Real Madrid in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League last season. This season, they finally stood out from the group and were drawn to Real Madrid. This will make people feel discouraged.

The game process verified the forward-lookingness of media reports. Even though Schalke 04 was at home, there was no resistance against Real Madrid, which had an absolute advantage. They conceded a goal in the first half and the second half and lost 0:2 at home.

An easy win over Schalke 04 as a guest also means that Real Madrid advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League ahead of schedule and can focus more on the league.

Before the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals, Real Madrid has three league games, visiting Elche as a guest, playing Villarreal at home and visiting Athletic Bilbao.

In addition to an unexpected 1:1 draw with Villarreal at home, the two away games defeated Elche and Athletic Bilbao respectively.

Barcelona ranked second in the league with 21 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses and 66 points. Atletico Madrid lost to Real Madrid and Selecao in succession. After that, Tower's condition improved and they won three consecutive victories, but they lost too many games and fell behind Real Madrid by a full 12 points.

With twelve rounds left in the league, it basically means exiting the league title race.

Real Madrid, which had already defeated Schalke 04 as a guest, returned to home and had some rotations in the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the two sides tied 2:2. Real Madrid advanced to the 2014-2015 season with a total score of 4:2. Champions League quarterfinals.

Because Real Madrid has an absolute strength advantage, advancing to the quarterfinals does not attract attention, and the same is true for the Real Madrid players themselves, otherwise head coach Ancelotti would not make partial rotations of the lineup in the second round.

Three days later, Real Madrid, once again sitting at the Bernabeu Stadium at home, learned from the unexpected draw with Villarreal at home and faced Levante without incident, with goals from James Rodriguez and Hernandez. Help the home team Real Madrid beat Levante 2:0.

Immediately, the attention of the world's media began to shift to Barcelona, ​​Catalonia.

A week later, the second leg of the 2014-2015 La Liga season will kick off at the Camp Nou.

Before the El Clasico in Spain approaches, the media's attention is still on the draw ceremony of the 2014-2015 Champions League quarter-finals at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

The most watched draw is undoubtedly the second Madrid derby in the history of the Champions League. Unfortunately, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, the opponents of last season's Champions League finals, met early in the quarter-finals and staged a shocking showdown.

The other three quarter-final draws are Barcelona vs. Paris Saint-Germain, Porto vs. Bayern Munich, and Juventus vs. Monaco.

Seeing the opponents of Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich and Juventus, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid fans were speechless.

Of course, Real Madrid fans are just speechless, far less hesitant than Atletico Madrid fans.

Just last month, Real Madrid scored four goals in a row after conceding three goals first to achieve a shocking comeback. Now that they meet in advance in the Champions League quarter-finals, Atletico Madrid fans can't see any hope. Some pessimistic fans even think that Atletico Madrid Having been eliminated early, head coach Simeone should focus all his attention on the league.

Seeing the draw, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone shook his head helplessly. Even if he was drawn to Barcelona, ​​he would still be confident of advancing, but facing Real Madrid, he really had no idea, because Real Madrid is in very good shape now, and the core midfielder Tang Zheng was at the height of his powers again.

Maybe... it's time to strategically abandon the Champions League.

However, this idea was thrown out of the sky by Simeone as soon as it came up, because there is a possibility of winning before the game starts. Once the game is given up early, there is really no hope of winning.

The news coverage of the Champions League quarter-final draw has never been comparable to the upcoming El Clasico, because there is still nearly a month to go in the Champions League quarter-finals, and the El Clasico is imminent.

A few days before the start of the game, players from both sides of the game accepted interviews with the media.

There are no surprises, and the players are full of confidence in this Spanish El Clasico, which is worth six points.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are the top two in the league, with Real Madrid ranking first with a six-point advantage. That means Real Madrid can expand its points to nine points by winning the game, which basically means winning the league championship as the number of league rounds becomes fewer and fewer.

On the contrary, Barcelona won the game and the points between them were reduced to three points. With ten rounds left in the league, they have great hope of overturning Real Madrid's league title.

For this six-point game, both sides are determined to win!

The visiting team Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti attended the regular press conference before the game and was interviewed by reporters. He was full of confidence: "Remaining undefeated in the league is the best proof that each of our players is going all out! I believe that my team can win in Italy." Kemp takes three points.”

The player who attended with the team was Tang Zheng, who has been in hot form recently. When faced with a tricky question from Daily Sports, he smiled and said: "It is undeniable that the record will end one day, but I believe Barcelona does not have the ability yet. ! Why? Look at the confrontations in the past two seasons!"

Suddenly, the press conference hall was in an uproar.

Since Tang Zheng joined Real Madrid, they have played four games in various competitions, including three league games and one Copa del Rey.

In the league, Real Madrid won two and tied one. In the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid won the game with Tang Zheng's overtaking goal from outside. This means that Barcelona has not tasted victory since Tang Zheng joined Real Madrid.

The reporters from the Catalan media who were present rolled their eyes and were speechless.

Barcelona coach Enrique and Messi, who subsequently attended the regular pre-match press conference, also encountered difficulties from media reporters, especially the media from Madrid, which could be said to be tit-for-tat.

Enrique doesn't have any special feeling. He only coached Barcelona last summer, which means that the first leg of the El Clasico at the Bernabeu was the first Clasico of his coaching career. The limited number of times has no reference value because it is too random. .

Messi is different. He is one of the biggest culprits of Barcelona's loss.

Real Madrid has been able to achieve three wins and one draw in the past four games. In addition to Tang Zheng's outstanding performance, the main reason is Messi's insufficient performance, which has greatly affected the efficiency of Barcelona's offensive system.

On the day of the game, half a day before the start of the game, a large number of Barcelona fans and Real Madrid fans gathered in the square near the Camp Nou stadium.

There is a six-point difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and the league has entered its final stage. The outcome will directly affect the final league championship. Fans hope that the team they support will win the game, so it is natural for fans from both sides to conflict.

However, the local police in Catalonia were well prepared and appeared in time whenever the conflict showed signs of escalation, and the minor incidents were eliminated.

In the blink of an eye, the 28th round of the 28th round of La Liga in the 2014-2015 season started at the Camp Nou.

The Camp Nou stadium, which can accommodate 99,354 people, is packed with seats. Through the camera switching provided by the on-site director, you can see that Barcelona fans wearing red and blue striped shirts occupy 90% of the entire stadium.

Of course, taking into account necessary safety factors, a buffer zone was set up between the fans on both sides of the Camp Nou stadium, but 95,000 fans also poured in.

According to relevant media reports before the game, more than 90 countries and regions have broadcast live broadcasts of the second round of the El Clasico between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The event has attracted much attention, which will inevitably give rise to a number of scalpers.

As the game time gets closer and closer, tickets for the second leg of El Clasico in the 2014-2015 La Liga season can be said to be priceless.

There were a lot of fans who wanted to buy it, but no fans wanted to buy it. An hour before the start of the game, the starting lineups of both sides were submitted to the officials.
