Chapter 68: The King of the Finals and the Champions League cannot defend the title since its restru

Tang Zheng helped Real Madrid equalize the score with a wonderful solo move. The Barcelona fans in the stands were stunned as if they had been hit in the head. The head coach Enrique stood in the visiting team's coaching area with his brows furrowed and he didn't know. What are you thinking.

Almost everyone's attention was focused on Tang Zheng, who scored the goal. Not many people noticed that Messi, who was chasing after him frantically, had calmed down. He kept hinting to himself that there was still time in the game, and the score was only a draw now. It's not life and death yet, so Barcelona still has hope of winning the Champions League!

When the Real Madrid players celebrated the goal, the live director restored the entire process of Real Madrid's goal.

Except for the brief scenes of Ramos and Isco, at other times Tang Zheng made the most appropriate choice based on the ever-changing situation, which is equivalent to saying that Tang Zheng singled out Barcelona's entire defense line.

Tang Zheng, who finally brought the ball into the penalty area, seemed calm enough. Facing the tackles of Pique and Messi, he did not choose to shoot directly. Instead, he pulled the ball to the left, waited until the angle was completely out of the way, and then used his left foot to complete a low kick. shoot.

The angle of the shot was very accurate. The ball almost touched the inner edge of the goal post on the left side of the broadcast screen and rolled into the lower left corner of the goal.

The terrifying Tang Zheng was vividly displayed at this moment.

Many commentators in the on-site commentary box spoke uncontrollably in extreme excitement, thinking that Tang Zheng was the best player in world football today, and even Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo could not compete with him.

Because Tang Zheng's game state is extremely stable. In addition to his stable and efficient performance in regular games, the more critical games, the better his performance.

The reason why Real Madrid had so many reversals in the 2014-2015 season was not due to the excellent overall performance, but because Tang Zheng was able to turn the tide with his super personal ability when the team was in a downturn.

Is such a player not number one in the world?

Of course, not all commentators think so, but those commentators who particularly admire Tang Zheng use their own exaggerated explanations.

Closer to home, the game restarted. Barcelona, ​​which had a kick-off advantage, did not rush to launch an offensive, but patiently organized the attack.

However, Barcelona's choice did not surprise most people, because this is Barcelona's traditional football philosophy.

In the 71st minute, Barcelona made the first substitution adjustment of the game. Veteran Xavi replaced Rakitic, who had average performance in this game, to strengthen the planning ability of the offensive organization in the middle.

Rakitic has the ability,

But compared with Harvey in terms of offensive organization, there is still a big gap.

As Xavi stood next to the fourth official and prepared to take the field, every commentator in the commentary box was recounting Xavi's history with Barcelona.

Because Xavi decided not to renew his contract with the club in an interview with the media before the start of this season, after the King's Cup final six days ago, the official website of Qatar League team Al Sadd confirmed that they had reached an agreement with Xavi and signed a 2+1. Professional contract with an annual salary of up to 10 million euros after tax.

Whether it was the commentator in the live commentary box or the commentator in the live broadcast room, they all praised Xavi. Barcelona's rise to dominate La Liga and European competitions, and the Spanish national team's ability to win the final championship in three consecutive majors are all due to this man. The brains of the pitch have a direct relationship with the 'giants'.

As Harvey ages, the dominance of the Spanish national team and Barcelona continues to decline. Many fans who like Barcelona and the Spanish national team lament that if Harvey can be a few years younger, where will it be the turn of other teams to show off?

Champions League final against Real Madrid?

Lose?

nonexistent!

※※※

Xavi's replacement of Rakitic can be said to be Barcelona's fixed substitution routine this season. Xavi, who is over 35 years old, can no longer last for 90 minutes in such a top-level competition, so a more reasonable way is to come off the bench. .

This game was Xavi's last game in Barcelona. When Xavi and Rakitic completed the substitution ceremony, Iniesta, who was wearing the captain's armband on his left arm, took the initiative to run Xavi and replaced the captain on his left arm. The armband was taken off and then put on Harvey.

The Barcelona fans in the stands shouted Xavi's name crazily, feeling the fanaticism rushing towards them. Xavi smiled and arched his left arm, asking his little brother Iniesta to help put it on more conveniently, and then smiled and said: "Thank you. You, Andre!"

"You're welcome!"

Iniesta smiled and patted the captain's armband on Xavi's left arm and said with a smile.

I don’t know if it was because this was Xavi’s last game in Barcelona. He appeared to be in particularly good condition after coming off the bench. A seemingly careless through ball accurately found Neymar who was advancing forward. Neymar took the ball and went directly horizontally. Move to the right, then raise his right foot from the penalty area line to complete a long shot.

The football was like a cannonball, but it flew at a high altitude, directly over the crossbar.

A minute later, Harvey did not choose to pass the ball after getting the ball, but directly raised his right foot to complete a long shot.

"Oh oh oh"

Xavi's shot was so fierce that the Real Madrid fans in the stands let out a scream of surprise until the football missed the left goal post.

Harvey's activity attracted Tang Zheng's attention. He originally thought that Harvey, who came on as a substitute, would just stay in the midfield and plan the attack. Unexpectedly, he directly organized the attack and even got the right to fire, and the effect was very good.

Tang Zheng couldn't help but turn his head to look at Harvey, who was performing exceptionally well, and Harvey happened to look over with a smile on his face.

Immediately, Tang Zheng also smiled back.

Xavi is indeed a legend, but Tang Zheng secretly thought: "I admired you when I was a child, but I'm sorry, I have to win the last game of your Barcelona career, the championship! I am determined to win!"

Casillas took a short goal kick and Barcelona did not use high pressure. However, Real Madrid's offensive organization has changed. The organizational midfielder responsible for supporting the backcourt is not Modric or Toni Kroos, but Tang Zheng. .

Barcelona head coach Enrique discovered the changes in Real Madrid's offensive organization immediately, but he did not take immediate measures to respond because he did not know Tang Zheng's original intention of retreating to organize the offense, which could only be revealed through game observation.

Soon, Enrique realized what Tang Zheng's purpose was.

Harvey came off the bench and positioned himself in a forward position. Tang Zheng, who was retreating, had the opportunity to directly confront Harvey...

Xavi himself has no defensive ability, and the same goes for Iniesta. Replacing Rakitic means that only Busquets will be defended in the midfield.

Moreover, Tang Zheng, who was retreating, received negligible defense, which meant that he could do series organization work in a very relaxed environment.

In addition, Barcelona switches from defense to offense, and Xavi, who is relatively advanced, will definitely face off against Tang Zheng.

Compared with the past encounters with Iniesta and Messi, facing Xavi is obviously more advantageous.

With no other choice, Enrique had no choice but to move Xavi further back and let Iniesta come up again.

What I didn't expect was that the retreating Xavi showed a greater threat. His ability to read the game and vision can often send the football to the most suitable place.

Messi, who has been holding back his energy for a long time, can now completely focus on the offensive terminal without distracting from the offensive organization.

Ginger is still old, and I have to say that Harvey, who has turned 35 this year, plays very experienced and unpredictable.

Tang Zheng had no good solution and could only make decisive choices based on the game situation.

In the blink of an eye, the game reached seventy-five minutes, a period of physical difficulty.

The conversion rate between offense and defense dropped to the lowest since the beginning of the game. Even a player with super physical strength like Tang Zheng was a little overwhelmed and needed to take a breath, not to mention other players.

※※※

"Ouch ouch ouch"

The pace of the game slowed down, but the passion of the fans in the stands did not drop at all. On the contrary, they became more excited as time became shorter and shorter, with deafening waves of loud cheers coming one after another.

I don’t know if it was the fanatical atmosphere that gave the players endless power, but the offensive rhythm that had just dropped suddenly accelerated.

After Messi got the ball, he suddenly accelerated. Because Tang Zheng was in a deep position, the defensive players he faced directly were Isco and Modric. He made a sudden stop and changed direction to speed up and passed by easily. By the time Tang Zheng was too late, it was too late to cover up the defense. .

Messi's change of direction when dribbling the ball at high speed is almost unparalleled in the world, and it is difficult to intercept. Tang Zheng fell to the ground and made a tackle, but Messi easily dodged it.

Fortunately, Toni Kroos, who was trailing behind, was very alert and knocked down Messi from the side who had completed the disguise.

Of course, Toni Kroos also received a special greeting and yellow card from the referee Cakir while completing the task!

Barcelona gets a direct free kick from a great position!

However, Casillas was very focused. Messi took a high-quality direct free kick but he held it over the crossbar with one hand, giving Barcelona only a corner kick.

In terms of corner kicks, Barcelona never had absolute control, and Ramos easily cleared the ball.

Messi performed well and naturally received special attention from the Real Madrid players. He failed to show off his glory in the next few receptions.

In order to maintain control of the football, he had to hand the ball to his teammates around him or behind him, and then move patiently and wait for the opportunity.

In the blink of an eye, the game came to eighty minutes, and there were ten minutes left before the end of the game.

Both sides only made adjustments to one position in the lineup, so the on-site director frequently showed the warm-up areas and head coaches of both sides when there was a dead ball.

The meaning I want to express is very obvious. There are only two final adjustments left in the regular time. Should I make adjustments to the lineup and change the game tactics?

In fact, both Ancelotti and Enrique are engaged in an ideological battle.

It's not that they don't want to make substitution adjustments, but how.

The current players on the field are theoretically the strongest lineup, and replacing anyone may bring new hidden dangers.

There is less and less game time, which means less and less opportunities for them to make mistakes.

Once a goal is scored during this period, it is likely to be a winning goal!

A season's hard work cannot be such a child's play.

Perhaps, entering overtime and then a penalty shootout is also a good choice.

Of course, it would be better if there is a chance to kill the game before the end of regular time.

If not, don’t force it.

As the game time decreased, the players on the field seemed to be affected, and they all played cautiously without being reminded by their respective head coaches.

The fanatical atmosphere at Berlin's Olympiastadion remains the same, and the momentum erupts one after another. Central 5 commentator He Wei said frankly based on the game situation: "According to the current situation, it is difficult for both sides to defeat the opponent's players. It is very likely to enter the playoffs." During the match, or even the penalty shootout, after all, the Champions League final has reached a vicious circle for both sides that they don’t want to lose, because conceding the ball during this period basically means a decisive victory. Of course... there are also accidents, in case of a sudden goal. Where’s the ball?”

I don’t know if He Wei opened his mouth, but as soon as he finished speaking, Barcelona exceeded the score again!

Pique directly hit Real Madrid's defense with a long pass from the backcourt. Suarez overpowered Ramos in the aerial challenge and headed the ball back. Iniesta didn't stop the ball and directly used the arch of his right foot to attack left. rib.

Neymar's movement was exactly the same as Iniesta's pass. Ramos was knocked out of position by Suarez. Carvajal was squeezed behind by Neymar and did not dare to commit a foul. Another central defender, Va. Ranée had to be pulled out to cover.

At this moment, Neymar completed a cross pass with his left foot.

Messi appeared ghostly in Neymar's passing route. He pushed the arch of his left foot towards the football. The football rolled towards the lower right corner of the goal. Goalkeeper Casillas made a save but failed to touch the football...

Real Madrid fans at the Olympiastadion in Berlin basically held their heads with their hands, looking in disbelief. Why... Barcelona suddenly scored?

Barcelona fans don't think so much, as long as the team scores goals.

Messi was extremely excited after scoring the goal. He ran all the way, his hands constantly pulling on the jersey on his upper body, and his face was ferocious.

The goal in the 83rd minute was tantamount to a winning goal!

Central 5 commentator He Wei looked at the passionate Barcelona players and felt a little uncomfortable, but he has a strong ability to adjust as a commentator. After congratulating Barcelona on the goal, he changed his tone and said helplessly: "In this At that time, I think countless fans sitting in front of the TV thought of such a curse. Since the reform of the Champions League, no team can defend the title! The defending champion Real Madrid fell behind Barcelona again at the 83rd minute of the game. Does this mean that Real Madrid What if I don’t get a chance to defend my title?”

In fact, it was not just Hevey who mentioned that no team has been able to defend the Champions League since its reform. British Sky commentator Andy Gray shook his head and said: "The curse is the curse! No one can ever lift it. The goals scored during this period have a huge impact on Barcelona." The motivational effect, on the contrary, is also a blow to Real Madrid. Perhaps... no team will be able to defend the Champions League for a long time in the future!"

However, his guest commentator Martin Taylor disagreed: "The game is not over yet! I also believe that Tang's 'King of the Finals' attribute can lead Real Madrid to equalize the score and then reverse Barcelona! Isn't Real Madrid this season under the leadership of Tang Complete multiple major comebacks?”
