Midfielder Ruler

When Tang Zheng and Zhao Lina were on vacation in Hawaii Island in the United States, the European summer transfer window was in full swing. Tang Zheng had fully recovered from the strain on his right thigh before the end of the Champions League final. At this time, he was playing with the women's football team Zhao Lina. Enjoy a rare vacation on the beach.

In the blink of an eye, a week's vacation has passed. Real Madrid, which Tang Zheng is paying attention to, has never invested heavily in the transfer market. It repurchased Lucas Vazquez from Espanyol for 700,000 euros and 2.45 million euros for it. Marc Asensio.

It is worth mentioning that Real Madrid and Cristiano Ronaldo's agent Mendes negotiated for more than half a month and finally reached an agreement. Cristiano Ronaldo's original annual salary of 18.5 million euros after tax was increased to the same as Tang. A flat annual salary of 24 million euros after tax.

However, Real Madrid still enjoys 40% of Cristiano Ronaldo's image rights, while Tang Zheng owns 90% of his own image rights. In terms of personal economic benefits, Tang Zheng is significantly higher than Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo, who is 30 years old this year, does not pay attention to these. He hopes that his annual salary will not lag behind Tang Zheng.

Real Madrid had just reached an agreement with Cristiano Ronaldo, and the media over there broke the news. Tang Zheng also learned about the news immediately.

Originally, Tang Zheng didn't want to argue with Cristiano Ronaldo about the conflict that occurred at the end of last season. After all, we are all teammates, and we should not look down when we look up. However, Cristiano Ronaldo pressured the club's top management to demand an annual salary equal to his own. This... ...is an obvious provocation.

Tang Zheng looked down at the latest news on the phone screen and grinned: "Since... you want to fight, then fight! Don't forget... the core is me, not you!"

After returning to Shanghai, Tang Zheng rested at home for half a day, and then drove his parents to a quiet restaurant in Pudong District. Not long after, Zhao Lina and her parents also came to the restaurant.

It turned out that it was Tang Zheng and Zhao Lina who actually met their parents to discuss marriage matters.

The first thing is to choose the auspicious day of the wedding day. Because of the special nature of Tang Zheng's career, there are many good days that cannot be chosen. In fact, there are many good days between July and August, but the European League will start training soon, and the Chinese Super League will also With the tournament in full swing, many good friends cannot participate, and there will be the European Cup next summer. Many current and former teammates at the club will definitely not have time. Considering this factor, the time can only be naturally extended to the beginning of next year.

After all, Tang Zheng is now a respectable person.

After several rounds of deletions, the specific time is set on the first day of next year, which is January 1, 2016.

The time for the wedding day has been set,

Then there is the way of marriage, whether it is a traditional Chinese marriage or a Western style marriage.

In this regard, Tang Zheng and Zhao Lina chose Western style, but not the church type, but open-air.

Then there is the place to entertain the guests and which hotel to choose.

In fact, there are not many hotel choices. After all, in an international metropolis like Shanghai, there are a lot of five-star hotels, and the transportation is very convenient. The key is to be convenient to the place where Western-style wedding ceremonies are held.

However, during the discussion, Tang Zheng suddenly remembered something. He will get married on New Year's Day next year, and the Chinese Super League has ended, so...

Zhao Lina was a little dissatisfied. She secretly pinched Tang Zheng's waist, which made Tang Zheng say "Ah" in pain.

So, Father Tang, Mother Tang, Father Zhao, and Mother Zhao all looked at Tang Zheng. Zhao Lina raised her chin and said displeasedly: "I told you to be distracted."

Tang Zheng touched the place where Zhao Lina pinched him, but did not express any dissatisfaction. He sat up straight and said, "I thought of a good place to solve the troublesome points we discussed before."

"oh?"

Everyone became energetic and looked at Tang Zheng curiously.

"I wonder if you still remember my name? Did you make a promise when you were eighteen?" Tang Zheng turned to look at Zhao Lina.

"Promise?" Zhao Lina fell into deep thought, her eyes soon brightened, and she looked at Tang Zheng with more affection: "You mean at the Hongkou Football Stadium?"

"Hongkou Football Stadium?"

Father Tang and Father Zhao both looked confused.

"Yes, Hongkou Football Stadium." Tang Zheng held Zhao Lina's left hand on the table with his right hand and said with a smile: "On Nana's eighteenth birthday, I made her a promise, no matter when, as long as she wants , I will hold a grand solo concert for her at the Hongkou Football Stadium."

"Personal concert?" Tang's father rolled his eyes, and then glared at Tang Zheng: "Now we are discussing your marriage, why are you having a concert?"

"Dad, please listen to me first." Tang Zheng shook his head and continued: "What I mean is that we can rent the Hongkou Football Stadium to host my and Nana's wedding. When the time comes, everyone will be watching, and I can finish my relationship with Na. Na’s promise is so good, it kills two birds with one stone.”

"Hmph~ I know how to be lazy!" Zhao Lina stretched out her hand to pinch Tang Zheng's waist, causing Tang Zheng to grit his teeth again and cry out in pain.

After a while, he looked at Zhao's mother with aggrievedness: "My dear mother-in-law, why did you give Nana this unique skill?"

"Pfft~"

There are many five-star hotels within five kilometers of Hongkou Football Stadium, so there are many choices...

※※※

The matters related to Tang Zheng's marriage were finalized for nearly a week, and then everyone went about their duties.

However, as the groom, Tang Zheng has basically become a hands-off manager. Real Madrid's preparations for the new season are coming soon. He must keep up with his physical condition, otherwise he will not be able to welcome the new season in the best condition.

Because Tang Zheng has decided to compete with Cristiano Ronaldo for the position of Real Madrid's number one star in the new season, he should be in better shape.

Real Madrid's warm-up matches this summer were announced at the end of last month. There will be three stops in Melbourne, Australia, Shanghai and Guangzhou, China, and then they will go to Munich to participate in the Audi Cup.

On July 20, Tang Zheng took a flight from Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Melbourne to meet with the Real Madrid team.

In the two warm-up games in Melbourne, Real Madrid did not send out its main players, including potential young players and new players from the second team, so the results were not ideal. They lost both games. First, they drew with Roma within 90 minutes. They lost 6:7 in the penalty shootout, and even more simply lost the game against Manchester City 1:4.

If there are certain accidental factors in the 0:0 draw with Roma and the penalty shootout loss, then the 1:4 loss to Manchester City illustrates some problems, because both sides of the game sent out all their main players in the first half, and at the end of the first half The score was 0:3.

Real Madrid is in front, Manchester City is behind.

It is undeniable that Manchester City spent heavily to introduce many players this summer, but Real Madrid, as the Triple Crown winner last season, except for Navas replacing Casillas, the other ten players are all unbeatable main players.

Under such circumstances, falling behind Manchester City by a large margin shows that there are big problems within the Real Madrid team that won the Triple Crown in the 2014-2015 season.

Tang Zheng's game attitude is quite upright, but on the offensive end, he and Cristiano Ronaldo did not pass the ball to each other, which made people feel like the Real Madrid team at the beginning of the 2013-2014 season.

But the conflict of not passing the ball was not caused by Tang Zheng's initiative, but by Cristiano Ronaldo who did not prioritize passing the ball when Tang Zheng asked for the ball many times, unless he fell into a dead end.

Tang Zheng, who was already dissatisfied with Cristiano Ronaldo, retaliated in kind. As long as he had the ball at his feet, he would not look at Cristiano Ronaldo and chose to attack in another direction.

In this regard, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti felt very helpless.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo had conflicts at the end of last season. The salary increase given to Cristiano Ronaldo by the club this summer directly sparked the relationship between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo.

As a Real Madrid superstar, Tang Zheng wants to be the first brother, while Cristiano Ronaldo wants to solidify his position in the team.

There is no direct competition between the two in terms of position. The key is that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

Tang Zheng, who had just joined Real Madrid, was still young, but now he is fully fledged. How could he lag behind Cristiano Ronaldo?

The most critical thing is that Ancelotti's right-hand man Clement chose to part ways and accept Derby County's invitation to become the head coach of a team.

In this way, Ancelotti's only assistant is Zidane, and it will be difficult to distract Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo's locker room relationship.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo did not pass the ball to each other, which directly affected Real Madrid's offensive level in the midfield and frontcourt, which was too monotonous.

The media has always been very creative and has a strong ability to fabricate facts, so it magnified the problems of Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo.

In addition, Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo have both chosen to avoid interviews with media reporters, so the discord between the two is even more certain.

How do football media survive?

Isn’t it relying on some unknown things about the players?

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo are the most critical players for Real Madrid to win the Triple Crown last season. Now that there is a conflict, it has naturally become the focus of fans, especially Real Madrid fans, who are worried.

※※※

Football media around the world are magnifying the problems of Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, but Real Madrid's summer warm-up match did not stop because of this, and they took a flight to Shanghai.

Shanghai is where Tang Zheng grew up, and it can be said to be the gathering place for his die-hard Chinese fans.

Although the relationship between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo is in crisis, domestic fans are basically inclined to support Tang Zheng, so wherever Tang Zheng appears, there will always be hysterical chants from fans.

At the 80,000-person Shanghai Stadium, Real Madrid, which had lost two consecutive games in the International Champions Cup, defeated Inter Milan 3-0 under the leadership of Tang Zheng.

It is worth mentioning that these three goals have nothing to do with Cristiano Ronaldo. Tang Zheng scored two goals and then assisted Benzema.

The Chinese fans in the stands were so excited that they shouted hysterically and made deafening noises.

Even though Tang Zheng was substituted in the second half, his voice did not drop.

What’s interesting is that when Cristiano Ronaldo was substituted, there was a huge boo in the stands: “Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

It is not difficult to guess that this is the strong dissatisfaction of Chinese fans against Cristiano Ronaldo.

Recently, the media has magnified the issue between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo. Tang Zheng’s domestic fans believe that the source is Cristiano Ronaldo, and Tang Zheng is the well-deserved brother of Real Madrid. Cristiano Ronaldo is obviously not qualified to compete with Tang Zheng. Sitting on an equal footing...

The on-site director, fearing that the world would be in chaos, gave Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng a close-up shot respectively.

And this scene was the beginning of a complete break between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who appeared on the broadcast screen, frowned, obviously showing strong dissatisfaction with the fans in the stands, but he did not show it.

Tang Zheng, who then appeared on the broadcast screen, smiled strangely when the fans at the table responded with boos...

In fact, Tang Zheng's smile was because his good friend James Rodriguez told a joke.

But the media didn't think so. They thought it was Tang Zheng's mockery of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was substituted.

as expected!

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was sitting in his hotel room browsing the news, threw his phone on the bed, walked to the bathroom, and cursed: "Shit!"

Marcelo, the roommate in the same room, asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

"fine."

Marcelo, who realized there was a problem, waited until Cristiano Ronaldo entered the bathroom, picked up the phone on the bed, looked at it, and then frowned.

"The problem is big..."

Three days later, in the International Champions Cup in Shenzhen, Real Madrid and AC Milan tied 0:0 in regular time. In the subsequent penalty shootout, Real Madrid unfortunately lost 8:9.

In the media reports after the game, Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo were criticized by the media.

In addition to continuing not to pass the ball to each other, the two also had a verbal conflict in the first half of the game.

If their teammates hadn't reacted promptly, the conflict between the two might have escalated from a verbal conflict to a physical one.

Real Madrid fans are beginning to worry about the results of the new season, but they are even more worried about coach Ancelotti.

As the biggest contributor to Real Madrid's victory in various competitions, the public conflict between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo will inevitably affect Real Madrid's performance.

Even though Ancelotti won two consecutive Champions League titles and a triple crown as soon as he took over Real Madrid, his coaching position is still unstable. Once Real Madrid's performance in the upcoming 2015-2016 season fails, his newly completed contract extension with Real Madrid will be very promising. May end early.

Compared with the problems that broke out two years ago, this time it is more difficult to solve.

At this time, the happiest media is undoubtedly the Catalan media.

Because Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo are the core players that Real Madrid has dominated La Liga and the Champions League in the past two seasons. Once there are cracks that are difficult to heal, Barcelona, ​​which is ready to go, will take their place!

As the media fermented, Real Madrid Chairman Florentino also realized something. He also tried to communicate with Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, but to no avail...

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo are both players with unique personalities. How could they bow to each other when they have full wings?
