Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 94 European Cup

The football that all Real Madrid fans had high hopes for passed over the outstretched fingertips of Neuer's right hand after he fell to the ground. However, it did not roll into the far goal. Instead, it hit the turf in the middle of the left goal post and was then defended. Captain Ram in the small penalty area kicked out of the baseline.

The referee on duty, Kuppers, did not give Real Madrid a chance for a corner kick. When the game was about to enter the 96th minute, he blew two short and one long full-time whistles.

The passionate and fanatical atmosphere just now was reduced to a minimum at this moment. The mood of the Bayern fans who accompanied the team on the expedition took a 180-degree turn, from being stunned to ecstatic, and they were hysterically shouting loudly. , to vent the bad mood that has been tense during this period.

If James Rodriguez's left-foot shot rolls into the net, then... the eliminated team is not Real Madrid, but Bayern Munich.

James Rodriguez held his head in his hands after completing the shot. If the shot just now could have been deflected two or three centimeters to the right, the football would have hit the post and entered the net.

But there are no what-ifs in this world. It was just a little bit short and Real Madrid did not create a miracle at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

James Rodriguez blamed himself very much. If it weren't for the lack of strength in his supporting foot at the critical moment, he would have been 100% confident that the ball would hit the goal.

The Real Madrid players in Bayern's penalty area collapsed directly on the ground, breathing heavily and feeling the short-term comfort of the drizzle on their bodies.

Tang Zheng, who sent a precise pass, put his hands on his hips and shook his head.

really!

Miracles don't happen easily.

In sharp contrast are the Bayern players. Before football was eliminated by Lahm, they were only a stone's throw away from being eliminated. Now... they have advanced!

Naturally, we have to cheer wildly to celebrate advancing to the Champions League final!

The Bayern players, who had been defeated countless times by the team led by Tang Zheng, were even more excited. How could their past duels with Tang Zheng have had such results?

So, it's particularly crazy.

In front of the home team's coaching bench, Ancelotti put his hands in his pockets and looked expressionless. He looked at the Bayern players celebrating crazily and didn't know what he was thinking.

Guardiola did not let out a crazy catharsis at the end of the game, but let out a sigh of relief.

The feeling of escaping death is so wonderful!

The drizzle at the Bernabeu Stadium shows signs of intensifying.

It turned into a drizzle like needles. Central 5 commentator He Wei said emotionally: "A continuous drizzle fell in the sky at the Bernabeu, seeming to cry for the eliminated Real Madrid. They are only one goal away from promotion... but I have to say ...The world is fair, no miracle happened at the Bernabeu! Congratulations to Bayern Munich for advancing, and hope their night at San Siro has a better ending..."

British Sky commentator Andy Gray shook his head and smiled bitterly: "...Maybe we have already thought about the ending, but when the game is over, we will inevitably be dissatisfied with the ending. Don's performance is perfect! It's him The hard work brought Real Madrid a possible miracle, but... the miracle did not come after all. "

"In the final analysis, Carlo Ancelotti left too little time for Tang." Commentator Martin Taylor looked at the close-up of Tang Zheng on the broadcast screen: "If we can give him half-time, maybe the result will be Leaning towards Real Madrid! But... there are no assumptions in this world. Tang has done his best, scoring three goals in two semi-finals, almost single-handedly leading Real Madrid to a great reversal. Unfortunately... James Rodri Great opportunity for Gus Measures…”

When German Sky commentator Marcel Leif congratulated Bayern Munich for their promotion, he changed his tone: "Real Madrid this season is the worst Real Madrid in recent seasons! But miracles will always happen when Don is here. This is a miracle that did not happen this time. The goalpost rejected James Rodriguez's low shot. I have to say that Tang has done his best. The temporary failure is not a permanent failure. I hope that Real Madrid can win next season. Under the leadership of Tang, we are making a comeback!”

Bayern, which has advanced to this season's Champions League final, should have been the protagonist, but at this moment everyone is paying attention to only one person.

That is Tang Zheng, who contributed three goals in the two semi-finals.

However, the person involved, Tang Zheng, was very open-minded. He had already guessed the ending, but when it was close to a miracle, he would feel regretful that it didn't happen.

At the end of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo in the home team's locker room did not turn off the TV. He looked at Tang Zheng in the broadcast and secretly decided that he must leave Real Madrid after the European Cup.

This stadium no longer belongs to me.

It's time to think about leaving.

Tang Zheng is not the protagonist of the Bernabeu Stadium, but his lone heroic efforts have become the focus of all commentators.

One after another stated that if Real Madrid can solve the problem of letting Cristiano Ronaldo leave this summer, then Real Madrid will become stronger and stronger next season under the leadership of Tang Zheng.

After all, Tang Zheng is only twenty-six years old and has a long career ahead of him.

Compared with the 31-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo, Tang Zheng is more promising.

※※※

Although Bayern lost to Real Madrid 0:2 as a guest, their 4:1 victory at home allowed them to advance to this season's Champions League final with a total score of 4:3.

As the first team to successfully defend the Champions League since its restructuring, Real Madrid's elimination was somewhat of a surprise. However, the fans who watched the game were not only disappointed but also speechless towards Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.

Bayern's 1:4 defeat in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals already showed signs that Cristiano Ronaldo is not suitable to lead Real Madrid to win the game, and Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo are not suitable to start together, which is related to whether they can advance to the finals. In the second round, Ancelotti should be more cautious in choosing to start Tang Zheng alone.

Facts have proved that Tang Zheng performs much better when he is alone on the court than Cristiano Ronaldo starts and co-exists on the court.

Tang Zheng scored two goals when Cristiano Ronaldo was substituted. If James Rodriguez's last shot hadn't hit the goal, Real Madrid could have reversed Bayern and advanced to the Champions League final this season.

However, there are no ifs in the world, and Ancelotti needs to pay the price for his wrong choice.

After being inexplicably eliminated from the Copa del Rey this season and withdrawing from the league title competition, now even the Champions League has been eliminated. Not counting the Club World Cup championship, Real Madrid has lost all four majors.

Real Madrid has the most demanding fans in the world, and its management is famously impatient.

The next day, Real Madrid president Florentino met with Ancelotti's agent Canovi.

In the summer of 2015, Ancelotti led Real Madrid to win the Triple Crown. In addition to defending the Champions League, he also set a new league points record. Therefore, one year was removed from the 2+1 contract signed in 2013 and the two parties renewed the contract. Two years, which means Ancelotti's contract with Real Madrid will end in the summer of 2017.

Real Madrid's unfavorable performance in various competitions in the 2015-2016 season is directly related to the discord between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, but as the head coach Ancelotti is also directly responsible, and the employment of the second leg of the just-concluded Champions League semi-finals made His prestige in the locker room was reduced to the lowest, so Real Madrid president Florentino and Ancelotti's agent Canovi discussed a peaceful breakup.

Real Madrid's last two opponents in the league were Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna, which achieved two consecutive victories, thus ending the 2015-2016 La Liga season.

In the end, Barcelona won the league championship with 91 points, Atletico Madrid finished second in the league with 89 points, and Real Madrid finished third in the league with 78 points.

The season has just ended, and Real Madrid's official website took the lead in announcing two major news. The first was that Ancelotti, who led Real Madrid to nothing in the past 2015-2016 season, and Real Madrid announced their breakup in advance.

The second news is that the club's head coach will be temporarily held by former assistant coach Zidane. The two parties signed a one-year contract. The specific contents of the contract have not been announced.

Tang Zheng expected the result when the club and Ancelotti broke up peacefully, but Zidane's appointment as head coach was somewhat unexpected. However, he has a very good relationship with Zidane, so he called to congratulate him immediately.

Zidane, a famous player in Real Madrid, takes charge of Real Madrid for the first time, and his majesty in the team goes without saying, but with the support of the team's top superstars like Tang Zheng, the pace of completely controlling the team will be accelerated to the greatest extent.

During the conversation with Zidane, Tang Zheng got an inside tip.

Cristiano Ronaldo will definitely leave Real Madrid this summer, and the new club will be between Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.

However, the reality of the European transfer market is changing rapidly, the negotiation process is ever-changing, and there have been countless cases where a certain transfer has turned out to be unexpected, so Tang Zheng just smiled and did not communicate too much with future head coach Zidane.

After finishing the league, he quickly took a flight to Lyon, France, to meet his wife Zhao Lina and make up for the missed honeymoon trip after getting married on New Year's Day this year.

However, not many media paid attention to the two news announced by Real Madrid at the end of the season. As the final rounds of the major leagues started, the focus of the European mainstream media has shifted to the preparations for the top 24 of the European Cup and the preparations for the top 24 at the San Siro Stadium. The 2015-2016 Champions League final is about to begin.

※※※

Before the start of the European Cup in France, the 2015-2016 Champions League final kicked off at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy.

Atletico Madrid, which reached the Champions League final again after a season, defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 with goals from Griezmann and Koke at the San Siro Stadium, winning the first Champions League title in team history.

Two years ago, Atletico Madrid led by Simeone led Real Madrid for 93 minutes and was about to end the game, but was tied by Tang Zheng in one second.

Two years later, goals from Griezmann and Koke gave Atletico an early two-goal lead that lasted until full time.

In the broadcast, Simeone was in high spirits and finally... won the Champions League!

Tang Zheng, who was watching the live TV broadcast, was also very proud of his mentor Simeone. Overall strength was not the key factor in winning the championship.

The whole game was almost besieged by Bayern, and Bayern was far ahead in the number of shots. However, Atletico Madrid seized the opportunity very well and scored two goals in the limited opportunity.

Bayern head coach Guardiola's face was very ugly. He really didn't expect that he would lose to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final, which was inferior to him in terms of overall strength...

A few days ago, Ancelotti terminated his contract with Real Madrid due to performance reasons. Perhaps... he should be interviewed by the club's senior management this summer to discuss the termination of the contract.

"Hey~"

Guardiola sighed, then showed a smile and faced Simeone who took the initiative.

Who knows what will happen in the future?

Besides, even if he really wants to leave Bayern, he will not lack a new home.

In the blink of an eye, the 15th European Football Championship in 2016 kicked off in France. The opening match was between France and Romania. After ninety minutes of fierce battle, France finally won the game 2:1.

Tang Zheng and Zhao Lina chose Bali for their honeymoon. It was not until the end of the European Cup group stage schedule that they went to France to watch the French European Cup up close.

In terms of selection of games, it is natural to lean towards the Spanish national team and the German national team.

Of course, the European Cup 1/8 finals between Croatia and Portugal also attracted Tang Zheng's attention.

This game is also a duel between Real Madrid players, Croatia, led by Modric and Kovacic, and Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe, who have not won a game in ninety minutes.

As a result, the two sides ended in a draw after 90 minutes. In overtime, Cristiano Ronaldo assisted Quaresma and scored to beat Modric.

The quarter-finals of Italy vs Spain were also watched live. It stands to reason that the Spanish national team is more capable of winning the game. At the end of the 90 minutes, the scoreboard showed a score of 2:0. Under the leadership of Conte, Italy Win the game and advance to the quarterfinals.

The last 1/8 final was between Iceland and England. This game was considered a score-losing question because the Icelandic national team was completely inferior to England. Many media even said that this game would be easily won by England, but what?

Iceland defeated England 2:1, breaking a major upset in this European Cup.

The game reached the quarter-finals, and the gap between the teams was not very obvious, but the gap between Belgium and Wales was still quite large...

However... this game ended up being an upset. The European Red Devils Belgium lost to Wales led by Manchester United star Bale 1:3 and unexpectedly entered the semi-finals.

The other three places to advance to the semi-finals are Portugal, Germany and host France.

In both semi-finals, Tang Zheng and his wife Zhao Lina came to watch the game. Wales, which made history and advanced to the semi-finals of the European Cup, did not advance to the final. Wales, led by Bale, lost 0:2 and had never won the game in the previous 90 minutes. Portugal victorious.

The semi-final between Germany and France is a strong match, but the French team has the advantage of home court, and Griezmann, who has just led Atletico Madrid to win the Champions League, is in excellent form. He opened the scoring and helped the French team take the lead early. The French team is eager to equalize the score. The German team made another mistake in the next game. In the end, France defeated Germany with two goals and met Portugal in the final of this European Cup.

If Wales' advancement to the semi-finals of the European Cup is a dark horse, then Portugal's advancement to the European Cup final can be said to be a super dark horse, because Portugal's overall strength can only be regarded as second-rate in Europe, and its advancement to the final is surprising.

However, facing the host France in the final, many people already thought that Portugal was at an end.

But is the result really like this?
