Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 116: Champion Reaper, warm-up match before the World Cup

With the three long whistles of the referee Milorad Mazic, the 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League final officially came to an end. Real Madrid finally relied on Tang Zheng's two goals and the goals of Benzema and Bale. Defeated Liverpool 4:2 and won the final championship.

The impact of the end of the game is very big, because Tang Zheng has won five Champions League championships respectively on behalf of Dortmund and Real Madrid in just six seasons. If it were not for the conflict with Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2015-2016 season, which caused the entire team to In a sluggish state, he may even become the miraculous fifth consecutive Champions League winner at the beginning of the Champions League on behalf of Real Madrid!

Despite this, Tang Zheng's achievements are still amazing.

At the beginning of the Champions League, the abilities of participating teams were uneven. It was completely different from the current situation where a hundred flowers bloom. The top teams in the four major leagues all have the possibility of winning the Champions League.

Otherwise, how could Real Madrid wait until the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 seasons to become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League since its restructuring?

The competitiveness of the Champions League is much stronger now than in the past.

In addition, Tang Zheng's five Champions League championships were all won by his hard work, which is admirable.

While winning the fifth Champions League title of his career, Tang Zheng also surpassed Di Stefano to become the player with the most goals in the history of the Champions League finals.

As CCTV 5 commentator Xu Yang said, Tang Zheng, who has not yet reached the age of 29, still has a long career. The current strength of Real Madrid is outstanding in the entire Europe, not to mention whether they can achieve the Champions League next season. Three consecutive championships, as long as Tang Zheng does not change the team and Real Madrid does not aggressively sell players, Real Madrid is really likely to continue to perform miracles and become the first team to win the Champions League for three consecutive seasons since the Champions League was restructured!

Commentators including commentators from the UK are praising Tang Zheng, believing that he is the undisputed number one superstar in world football today.

Cristiano Ronaldo is 33 years old this year and Messi is 31 years old. Whether it is their contribution to the team or personal and overall glory, there is no way to compare with Tang Zheng.

You must know that Tang Zheng, while becoming the player with the most Champions League titles in active service, also led Real Madrid to win three championships again, becoming the first team in European football to successfully defend the Triple Crown. If he can win the Spanish title before the start of the 2018-2019 season After defeating Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the Super Cup and European Super Cup, Real Madrid will once again set a new record and defend five championships.

According to Real Madrid's overall strength, it is very likely to win the final championship.

In winning the Club World Cup, Real Madrid not only won the unprecedented three consecutive Club World Cups, but also defended six championships in one calendar year.

Although they will face Barcelona and Atletico Madrid before the start of next season, and the prospects of winning are not particularly optimistic, many commentators believe that as long as Real Madrid performs normally, it will not be difficult to defeat Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

After all... hasn't Real Madrid always won this way in the past few seasons?

At the end of the game, Tang Zheng became the one receiving the most attention.

A true champion reaper!

But I don't think he is that dazzling. After all, he is no longer the young boy who was just starting out, and the glory he has received in recent seasons has almost numbed him.

Central 5 commentator He Wei is still introducing Tang Zheng crazily, because this Champions League championship is a new record for Tang Zheng's career.

Starting from River Plate, to Dortmund, and then to Real Madrid, he has now harvested thirty-five championships.

River Plate has four championships, Dortmund has thirteen championships, and Real Madrid has eighteen championships, which is exactly thirty-five championships, tying with Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs and tying him as the professional player with the most championships in world football.

But... Giggs played over a thousand games for Manchester United.

Where is Tang Zheng?

In eleven seasons, the club played less than 600 games.

It would be unimaginable to reach the heights Giggs reached in over a thousand games with a club in less than 600 games.

Don’t forget, he is not yet twenty-nine years old and his career is still long, so as the commentator of CC5 on national television, He Wei is particularly crazy, eloquent and hysterical, so much so that the fans in front of the TV are a little drunk. .

Such a person that all professional football players look up to is Chinese!

If you say you are not proud, that is all lies.

Next month's World Cup in Russia is about to kick off, and the Chinese men's football team led by Tang Zheng is likely to set a new record...

※※※

Real Madrid not only defended the Champions League but also defended the Triple Crown, becoming one of the most dazzling teams in world football today.

As the protagonist who leads Real Madrid to new heights, Tang Zheng is also a player that the commentators in the field commentators rush to praise, because without Tang Zheng, Real Madrid would not be able to win so many championships.

It has been exactly five years since Tang Zheng joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2013.

Who would have thought that Real Madrid would win 18 championships in just five years?

No one would have thought of that!

Including Tang Zheng, the person involved, he did not expect that his efforts would receive such a big reward.

Not long after, the staff at the Kyiv Olympic Stadium were extremely efficient and organized the 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League championship podium.

In accordance with international practice, first the Serbian referee team came to the stage to receive the commemorative medal, and then the runner-up came to the stage to receive the award.

Finally, there are the Real Madrid players who won the championship.

The most fanatical moment in the entire stadium was undoubtedly the moment when Real Madrid captain Ramos raised the championship trophy. The Real Madrid fans who came to the scene almost chanted crazily, so that the entire stadium was in an extremely fanatical atmosphere. Can stop.

White confetti sprayed out, flew to the highest point, and then naturally fell and slowly floated down. These confetti looked particularly beautiful under the light, like a pair of big watery eyes blinking non-stop. It was extremely beautiful.

"Here~"

Bell handed the trophy in his hand to Tang Zheng and shook it. Then he found that Tang Zheng was distracted in this extremely exciting atmosphere, and he was a little curious: "Tang?"

Tang Zheng reacted quickly, took the trophy with a smile, and held it high in the fanatical atmosphere.

The on-site director was extremely professional. He noticed Tang Zheng's distraction and immediately gave him a close-up shot of his face. However, Tang Zheng's expression changed quickly and he passed it to his teammate Carvajal on the right with a smile.

Although the commentator in the on-site commentary box was a little interested in Tang Zheng's distraction, Tang Zheng's expression changed very quickly, and the top priority was the championship-winning Real Madrid as a whole, so few commentators paid attention to Tang Zheng's distraction.

But if anyone knew the reason why Tang Zheng was distracted, they would probably roll their eyes.

Because of this kind of championship situation, Tang Zheng has experienced so many things in his career that he has developed antibodies.

He was distracted because he focused on the World Cup in Russia next month in advance. Four years ago, he unfortunately lost to the Netherlands in the quarter-finals and missed the semi-finals. So... will this year's World Cup in Russia go further?

According to the overall strength ranking of the team, it may be difficult for the Chinese team to enter the top ten, so advancing to the semi-finals is undoubtedly a dream. However, the outcome of football matches has never been determined by strength, but by a ninety-minute game.

The draw of the Chinese team in the World Cup in Russia is pretty good. Except for France, which has a strong overall strength and a small chance of winning, it has a high chance of winning against Peru and Denmark, which means that advancing to the knockout rounds is not a problem.

Coupled with a little bit of luck, if you can go to Costa Rica, which was a huge upset in the World Cup in Brazil, in the 1/8 finals, it is very possible to advance to the quarterfinals.

One step further, it’s the top four!

Think about it...it's possible.

※※※

The entire Real Madrid team returned to the hotel after midnight, but there was no psychological baggage for the Real Madrid players, because the 2017-2018 season had come to an end, and they had won the Triple Crown this season. The excitement that sprouts from everywhere?

At this time, Tang Zheng temporarily forgot about the World Cup that will be held next month and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the crazy catharsis.

Real Madrid players with World Cup tasks did not disband on the spot, but returned to Madrid.

That afternoon, the entire Real Madrid team took a double-decker open-top bus to show fans all over the city the three championships they won in the past 2017-2018 season.

League Championship Trophy, Copa del Rey Championship Trophy and Champions League Championship Trophy!

Each trophy also bears witness to Real Madrid's efforts in the 2017-2018 season.

The next day, the entire Real Madrid team was disbanded.

The international players of each country who have World Cup assignments report to the places where their respective national teams are preparing for the game. Players who do not have World Cup assignments go on personal leave, because players who have World Cup assignments will get longer vacations, while players who do not have World Cup assignments return to the team early. Training base to prepare for the new season.

Closer to home, Tang Zheng took a four-person plane to Dortmund early to meet up with the national team and prepare for the pre-World Cup warm-up match with the German team at the Westfalenstadion.

In a friendly match yesterday at the Juventus Arena in Turin, Italy, the Chinese team drew with Norway 1:1 without Tang Zheng and Lu Liang.

Tang Zheng was the last international player to join the national team, but no one was dissatisfied because he led Real Madrid to achieve an unprecedented triple crown, and the friendly match schedule conflicted with the Champions League final. Taking into account the player's physical recovery, Tang Zheng Zheng is destined to be unable to participate in the Chinese team's third-to-last warm-up match before the World Cup.

Tang Zheng, who joined the national team, was first welcomed by the local Dortmund fans. Thousands of fans came to the airport to greet Tang Zheng. At the familiar training base where the national team was preparing for the friendly match, there were even a large number of fans waiting, at close range. Watch Tang Zheng train.

Tang Zheng made great contributions to Dortmund in the past, and no Dortmund fan has forgotten it, so when they have the opportunity to see Tang Zheng, they will never be stingy with their cheers, even if the Chinese team is preparing for an international friendly match with the German national team. .

The international friendly match between the Chinese team and the German team will be held at 7 pm local time in Germany, which is 1 am Beijing time.

This time period is not a very good time for Chinese fans to watch football, but this game is a match between the Chinese men's football team that is different from the past and the world-class German team, so hundreds of millions of fans are sitting Watch the game in front of the TV or computer.

It is worth mentioning that the Westfalen Stadium, which can accommodate 83,000 fans, is packed. In addition to most of the home team fans who support the German team and the 'Dragon Fan Club', there are also many local Dortmund fans wearing 2012 jerseys. - Dortmund's No. 10 jersey for the 2013 season, cheering for Tang Zheng.

In the minds of many Dortmund fans, Tang Zheng is the supreme being. Even if the home team is Germany, they still choose to support Tang Zheng.

Of course, they only support Tang Zheng, not the Chinese team.

The Chinese team advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Brazil four years ago, but this does not mean that the Chinese team has the ability to compete with the German team. Therefore, head coach Lippi arranged a set of defensive counterattack tactics for the Chinese team that are very suitable for the Chinese team.

However, the Chinese team did not send out its main lineup in this campaign. Captains Tang Zheng and Lu Liang, who participated in the Champions League final six days ago, did not appear in the starting lineup.

Without Tang Zheng and Lu Liang, the Chinese team has many problems on both ends of the offense and defense. This is an opportunity that cannot be ignored for the German team, the last World Cup champion. Even if the German team also does not field a full lineup, it has the advantage of home court. They led the Chinese team 2-0 in the first half with goals from Sane and Ozil.

The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly. In the second half, the Chinese team took the lead in making substitution adjustments before changing sides again. The long-awaited Tang Zheng replaced Wu Xi.

Although Lu Liang has not yet taken the field, for Chinese fans this is already the strongest lineup of the Chinese team.

The Chinese team mainly plays a 423 formation, with goalkeeper Yan Junling, defenders Jiang Zhipeng, Gao Zhunyi, Feng Xiaoting and **, double midfielder Tang Zheng partnered with Li Kui, three forwards Wu Sanshi, Hao Junmin and Sun Jingbo, and Gao Lin at the front the front.

The German team's formation in the first half was also 4231, with goalkeeper Neuer, four defenders Hector, Süle, Rudiger and Kimmich, and double midfielder Gundogan partnering with Khedira. The three forwards are Brandt, Ozil and Sane, with Peterson, who plays for Freiburg, at the front.

With Tang Zheng on the court, the overall mental outlook of the Chinese team has changed dramatically, and they even took advantage of the kick-off to quickly pose a huge threat to Neuer's goal.

If Neuer hadn't been so focused, Sun Jingbo's shot from the right side of the penalty area might have resulted in a goal.

German coach Loew frowned, but did not make targeted adjustments immediately. Instead, he made alignment adjustments on a subsequent dead ball.

Rudy replaced Khedira to strengthen the offensive organization in the middle.

Central 5 commentator He Wei commented on Loew's adjustment: "If I am not wrong, Loew's adjustment is to strengthen the offensive organization in the middle and limit the Chinese team's counterattack, but Rudy, who came off the bench, can complete the tasks assigned by Loew. ?"

Obviously, this German international who was not particularly stable in Bayern Munich did not strengthen the connection between the midfield and the midfield. The offensive organization is still completed by Gundogan and Ozil. He is more of a player. The defensive midfielder protects the ball on the offensive end and the space on the defensive end.

But Rudy is obviously not the kind of defensive midfielder who can stand alone. He is more than one level behind Khedira, so the Chinese team has gained many opportunities.
