"Beep~beep~beep~~"

With the on-duty referee Raos blowing two short and one long full-time whistles, the second round of El Clasico in the 2014-2015 La Liga season came to an end. In the end, Real Madrid, the guest, relied on the help of Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng. The goal defeated Barcelona 3:1, achieving a home and away double play in the league.

The six-point gap between the two sides widened to nine points as Real Madrid won the game. With ten rounds left in the league, Real Madrid basically had half the league championship trophy in hand.

In the past 28 rounds of La Liga in the 2014-2015 season, Real Madrid has 25 wins, three draws and 78 points. Barcelona has 22 wins, three draws and three losses and 69 points, ranking second in the league. Atletico Madrid has 21 wins, three draws and four. Ranked third in the league with a negative score of 66 points.

As for Valencia, which is fourth in the league, it is a bit far behind the first group in La Liga. Let’s not talk about how many points it is behind Real Madrid. It is a full 13 points away from Atletico Madrid, which is third in the league. That is to say, the league Fourth place Valencia is 25 points away from top spot Real Madrid.

The Real Madrid players who won the game at Camp Nou were so passionate that they could not contain themselves. They were under huge pressure before the game. Now that they have won the game to expand their league points, they fully vented the emotional release brought about by the end of the game.

The Barcelona players who lost were extremely depressed, especially the star Messi. He was lying on the Camp Nou court, covering his face with his hands, as if to say - he had no face to face those Barcelona fans who had high hopes.

If they win this game, Barcelona can reduce each other's points to three points. Even if they draw with Real Madrid, they can still maintain a six-point gap. Now the points gap has expanded to nine points. It is really despairing to think about it.

It seems... hope can only be pinned on the future Champions League matches...

Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals in this game and also contributed a wonderful assist. He naturally became the man of the match in the second leg of El Clasico in the 2014-2015 La Liga season.

But in the eyes of many professional commentators, there is only one truly best player, and that is Tang Zheng.

The two goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo are directly related to Tang Zheng. The equalizing goal came from a direct assist from Tang Zheng. The goal that sealed the victory was Tang Zheng directly intercepting the football on the defensive end. , and then accurately find Hesse plugged in at high speed.

Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo's personal ability also plays an absolute role, and he deserves the title of best on the spot, but Tang Zheng's role in promoting the game is something Cristiano Ronaldo does not possess.

Tang Zheng's role in both offense and defense is quite obvious. It can be said that without Tang Zheng's defense in Real Madrid's midfield, Real Madrid would have been very likely to be beaten by Barcelona in the first half.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was named the best on the spot, did not forget who was the biggest contributor. He took the initiative to walk towards Tang Zheng, opened his arms and said with a smile: "Thank you, my good friend."

"No, no, no, they are all a perfect reflection of your personal abilities."

Tang Zheng smiled.

"You~" Cristiano Ronaldo smiled helplessly.

In the mixed zone, Tang Zheng was interviewed by domestic and foreign media in Spain. He was very confident about the team's results this season and said bluntly and domineeringly: "In addition to the league championship! We also need the Copa del Rey! The Champions League! We want to win the Triple Crown. !!”

Some reporters are optimistic about Tang Zheng's prospects, while others are not.

There are two types of unfavorable reporters:

One is to laugh without saying anything, and the other is to be sarcastic in person.

"There are still ten rounds of La Liga this season, there are still semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League has only reached the quarter-finals. Triple crown? Isn't it too full? Aren't you afraid that all four will be empty by then?"

Among the reporters, there was a strange voice.

Tang Zheng was a little angry, but he was relieved when he saw the reporter's work badge. It turned out... that he was an old 'enemy' of the "Süddeutsche Zeitung".

No wonder...

In the noisy Camp Nou stadium, Tang Zheng first smiled and then pointed to his temple: "Did you go out today without your brains?"

For a moment, the reporters in the mixed zone couldn't help laughing.

The question Tang Zheng answered in the interview was "How high do we hope Real Madrid's performance can be this season?" So Tang Zheng said there is nothing wrong with the Triple Crown.

The reporter from the "Süddeutsche Zeitung" who was tit for tat obviously did not pay attention to the questions, so Tang Zheng caught the question and became a laughing stock.

As the reporter walked away in despair, the next questions were much more normal until the question was over.

At the regular press conference after the game, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was in a very good mood, which can be said to be true.

The home team's regular press conference after the game was different, almost a tacit criticism.

In this regard, Barcelona coach Enrique could only swallow his anger, because the collapse of the second round of the El Clasico was directly related to his insufficient preparation before the game.

Besides, losing...is the head coach's responsibility.

There were also some good-hearted media who directed the topic to the referee Laos, but Enrique was not fooled. He did not criticize the referee Laos's penalty, and had a good attitude towards admitting his mistakes. He believed that Laos's penalty was correct. I can't control my emotions properly...

Originally, the reporters set a trap for Enrique, but Enrique walked out on his own, so the regular post-match press conference ended in vain.

Anyway, the game is over and there is not much room for discussion.

The next day, sports media headlines around the world revolved around the second leg of the 2014-2015 La Liga season, El Clasico, which ended last night at the Camp Nou.

The headlines are almost the same, they all say that Real Madrid has proved to the world in the Nou Camp that they have the absolute strength to win the La Liga championship in the 2014-2015 season!

Even if there are still ten rounds of the league, Real Madrid has basically booked the league championship.

However, Real Madrid players were not affected by the media reports. They were preparing intensively for the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals of the upcoming 2014-2015 season, against the Spanish.

Perhaps it was the consecutive reversals in the focus battle that gave Real Madrid players absolute confidence. Real Madrid defeated the home team Espanyol without any blood in the first round away game 3:0 and won the opportunity.

Real Madrid, who returned to the Bernabeu over the weekend, defeated Granada 9:1 amid the cheers of the fans, fully demonstrating their absolute strength to compete for the league championship!

In the second round of the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid, sitting at the Bernabeu Stadium, made certain rotations in the lineup.

Despite this, Real Madrid still relied on Jese's decisive victory to win the Espanyol at home and successfully advanced to the final of this season's Copa del Rey.

And their opponent in the final is the El Clasico opponent-Barcelona.

Of course, the King's Cup final is at the end of May, and Real Madrid doesn't need to be distracted for the time being, so they have absolute time to focus on the league and the Champions League quarter-finals.

Real Madrid, which is going smoothly, has two league games before facing Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, an away challenge to Rayo Vallecano and a home game against Iba.

There were no surprises in the two games, 2:0, winning against Rayo Vallecano and Iba respectively.

With the end of the 31st round of the 2014-2015 La Liga season, the attention of fans around the world has shifted to the Champions League.

One of the most eye-catching quarter-finals was the encounter between last season's final opponents. In the first leg, Atletico Madrid faced Real Madrid at the Calderon Stadium.

The game between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid can be said to have attracted the attention of the world, but the result of the game may not be a big surprise.

Two months ago, Atletico Madrid lost 3:4 at home to Real Madrid.

You may not be able to tell if you just look at the score, but it becomes clear that Real Madrid won from a 0:3 deficit to a 4:3 lead.

It's good to have two games separated by two months, but don't forget that the players' psychological adjustment is not that fast, and they are playing consecutive games, and there is no extra time to adjust their mentality. Now that the Champions League quarter-finals meet in advance, even Atletico Madrid Fans are not very optimistic.

Including Atletico Madrid head coach Simeone, he was somewhat dissatisfied with the state of the players, especially in terms of mental aspect.

Reminiscent of two months ago when Real Madrid pulled back four goals in a row at home with a three-goal lead, it is reasonable for the players to be in the shadows. Besides, Simeone himself failed to get over the defeat in that game, let alone the players. Woolen cloth?

Although the results throughout March and early April were good, the teams faced were of limited strength.

Real Madrid is different, it is the team that casts the biggest shadow on Atletico Madrid.

Sitting still is definitely not the answer, nor is Simeone's style. However, as the game time approaches, Simeone and his coaching team still have no idea of ​​a way, so they can only adapt to changes...

If some things cannot be changed, then let them be!

The day before Atletico Madrid welcomes Real Madrid to challenge Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, the first legs of the Champions League quarter-finals between Paris Saint-Germain VS Barcelona and Porto VS Bayern Munich kicked off.

After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, Paris Saint-Germain lost to Barcelona 1:3 at home. What is surprising is that Bayern Munich, which is obviously dominant, lost to Porto 1:3 away from home.

What is exciting for Chinese fans is that Chinese international Zhang Linpeng, who plays for Porto, contributed two assists and was one of the biggest contributors to Porto's 3:1 home win over Bayern Munich.

One day has passed in a blink of an eye, and the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is getting ready to start at the Calderon Stadium.

Also kicking off at the same time is a game in Turin, with Juventus hosting Monaco.

Compared with the spectacle and attention, there is no doubt that the home game between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid is more interesting, but the game process is a big surprise.

No one expected that Real Madrid, playing away from home, would take the lead early, and then in the 20th minute of the game, the visiting team Real Madrid would lead by two goals.

The scoreboard showed a score of 0:2, and the sky above the Calderon Stadium rang with the passionate shouts of Real Madrid fans: "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Immediately, the on-site director gave many close-ups of Atletico Madrid players. From the broadcast screen, the expressions on their faces were very ugly. Counting the Madrid derby two months ago, Atletico Madrid was equivalent to scoring three goals in a row. Conceding six goals in a row under such circumstances, who can accept such a huge psychological gap?

Head coach Simeone put his hands on his hips and frowned, as if he didn't know how to solve the situation the team encountered.

Because this situation is not tactical, but psychological.

Before the game, Simeone was most worried about the team's 'transition period' at the beginning. If Real Madrid did not score in the 'transition period', the players would gradually gain confidence, and then the suspense of advancing to the semi-finals would remain at the Bernabeu.

But God is not as good as man. Real Madrid played a blitz at the beginning of the game, and then used a positional attack to expand the score with Benzema.

The home fans wanted to give Atletico Madrid players solid support, but the result...

In less than twenty minutes, Real Madrid took a two-goal lead as a guest.

It would be okay if it was a league game, as if you lose, you lose, but this is the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, and two goals conceded at home are absolutely fatal!

Attacking is not what Atletico is good at. It is difficult to win against Real Madrid at home. Do you expect them to beat Real Madrid as a guest?

nonexistent!

Central 5 commentator He Wei watched Real Madrid take a two-goal lead and take advantage, and said in a deep voice: "Obviously the Atletico Madrid players were affected by the Madrid derby two months ago. They can't let go. If there is no way to get rid of it, The shadow of that game, let alone beating Real Madrid at home, it was very difficult to score."

British Sky commentator Andy Gray was somewhat dissatisfied with Atletico Madrid's attitude towards the game: "As far as I know, Atletico Madrid, coached by Diego Simeone, is full of passion. What kind of team is presented to us now? This is really Is Atletico Madrid the team that can compete with Real Madrid? No! Absolutely not!"

Commentator Martin Taylor laughed and said: "Say, old man, you don't know that Atletico Madrid was fooled by Tang in the Madrid derby two months ago, leading by three goals and losing 3:4. Let me ask... Who can get over that tragic defeat in such a short period of time? Professional players are also ordinary people after all..."

The situation was very unfavorable for Atletico Madrid, but there was good news for Atletico Madrid fans. Until the end of the first half, the score was still 0:2.

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

The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly, and the game changed sides in the second half. However, Atletico Madrid, which was at home, still had no improvement in offense.

As a guest, Real Madrid did not have a particularly strong desire to attack with two away goals in hand. The midfield controlled by Tang Zheng, Toni Kroos and Modric mainly controlled the rhythm. Unless the offensive opportunity was particularly good, otherwise it was Will not pass threatening balls easily.

Atletico Madrid's high-position pressing was not effective, so the score did not change until the end of the game. Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 2:0 as a guest and took the lead.

At the end of the game, the on-site director once again gave each Atletico player a close-up shot of his face.

Gabi, Koke, Griezmann, Godin and other players all covered their faces with their hands. They have realized that they have no face to face the more than 40,000 Atletico Madrid fans who came to support because their performance was too poor...

Head coach Simeone's mood is the most complicated. His most proud disciple Tang Zheng is the executioner who defeated the iron-blooded Atletico Madrid.
