Zidane's facial expression was not very good when he walked out of the 108th bedroom of the living building, not that Tang Zheng didn't give him face, but that Tang Zheng cleverly threw the problem to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Tang Zheng's subconscious intention to coexist peacefully is perfectly fine, provided that Cristiano Ronaldo makes concessions.

To put it mildly, Tang Zheng is in the semi-forced palace to increase his influence in the Real Madrid dressing room.

Zidane, who used to be a player, naturally understands Tang Zheng's original intention, after all, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and it is understandable that Tang Zheng wants to increase his influence in the locker room.

Zidane, who returned to the head coach's office, shook his head again and again, Ancelotti had not come back, and assistant coach Clement asked Zidane curiously: "Zidan, what is the matter with sighing?"

"The problem is more difficult to solve than you think. Zidane said.

"How hard is it to solve?"

Clement put down the iPad in his hand and came to be interested.

Zidane made a long story short and briefly explained Tang Zheng's meaning to Clement.

Clement's reaction was the same as Zidane imagined, frowning, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo are both the kind of players with super ability, and can even change the outcome of the game many times, especially Tang Zheng, who is on the rise.

But the 27-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo is no slouch and is at the peak of his career.

1+1 is definitely greater than 2, but the problem of Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo is not solved well, and 1+1 may even become 0.

After about ten minutes, Ancelotti returned to the office with a frown.

He looked at Zidane and Clement, who were full of sadness, and asked, "Could it be that Don's side is not optimistic?"

Zidane tapped his chin: "Actually, Tang's side is fine, I chatted with him for half an hour, what I read is 'people don't offend me, I don't offend people', that is to say, his intentions are good, as long as Cristiano Ronaldo's side is okay, I believe that Don's attention will be on the field, because he came to Real Madrid not to fight for power, but to get higher glory." ”

For Tang Zheng's talent and character, Zidane is still quite optimistic.

Some people can't see what he thinks in his heart after getting along all his life, but some people can see his heart even if they get along for a second.

"By the way, what about you?"

Ancelotti sighed: "What Cristiano Ronaldo said is that his position in the team cannot be shaken, otherwise he does not rule out choosing a better environment." ”

Cristiano Ronaldo transferred to Real Madrid from the summer of 2009 to the summer of 2015, which means that there are two years left on the contract between the two parties, and now Real Madrid president Florentino is trying his best to complete the contract extension with Cristiano Ronaldo.

If he doesn't feel well with the team, the chances of a contract extension are slim to none.

"It's a real headache. Clement suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Carlo, Zidan, do you want to kick the ball back to the chairman Florentino?"

Ancelotti and Zidane's eyes lit up at the same time, but Ancelotti shook his head after a little thought and rejected Clemente's suggestion: "Try to solve the internal affairs of the team by yourself, if these things have to be taken care of by the chairman, I think we will soon lose control of the dressing room, and then it will be even more difficult." ”

After that, Ancelotti divided the work again: "Paul is still in charge of arranging the team's training plan for the new season, and Zidan's and I are focused on Cristiano Ronaldo and Don. ”

In the blink of an eye, the three-day training time passed.

Real Madrid's pre-season training camp has not had a significant effect, but it is understandable considering that the players have experienced a summer of relaxation.

The players had to enjoy the 2012-2013 season after a hard season and the summer break.

When it comes to enjoyment, it's natural to leave behind the rules and regulations that are part of the season.

It's not a binge, but at least it's not as regular as it was during the season.

Being out of shape is the most mundane of professional footballing holidays, and with just over half a month to go before the start of the new season, Carlo Ancelotti's coaching staff has plenty of time to get the players back to their peak condition.

However, Ancelotti's biggest concern is the relationship between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, and they have not communicated in the past three days, not even a single look.

Since the Spanish media and the mainstream European media discovered that Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo have off-field factors, the focus has become clearer.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo have a total transfer fee of more than 200 million euros, and they are super capable, and if the conflict between the two leads to Real Madrid's failure in the 2013-2014 season, Real Madrid will become the laughing stock of the world.

As we got closer and closer to participating in the pre-season warm-up matches in the United States, Ancelotti and his coaching team had not yet found a solution, and President Florentino was a little unable to sit still, and he personally made a phone call to Ancelotti.

Ancelotti naturally will not leave it to President Florentino to solve, Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo's off-field problems he can't intervene in, and he has no right to intervene, but he has the responsibility and obligation to solve the problems that affect the team's combat effectiveness.

Fortunately, Tang Zheng maintained a good relationship with the other new teammates of the team, so many players did not stand in the team, and some even took the initiative to play the role of intermediaries, hoping that Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo could turn the conflict into a jade silk.

Whether Cristiano Ronaldo's ability is strong or not, as a teammate, knows best, but Tang Zheng's strength is more profound as a former opponent.

If Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo can spark off and off the field, Real Madrid's results in the new season will definitely not be bad.

However, whether it is the main team Casillas or the vice team Ramos, they have no way to solve the unhappiness of Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Real Madrid has three warm-up tournaments before the start of the 2013-2014 season, called the International Champions Cup.

It is worth mentioning that the predecessor of the International Champions Cup was the World Football Challenge, which was held in 2009, which was an exhibition match between teams from Europe and North America in the United States and Canada, except for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, which was not held, the World Football Challenge has been held three times, that is, in 2009, 2011 and 2012.

Due to the huge effect of the first three successful World Football Challenges, the name was officially changed to the Guinness International Champions Cup from 2013 and from July 28 to August 7, in Phoenix, Los Angeles, New York, Indianapolis, Miami and Valencia, Spain.

All three of Real Madrid's matches were played in the United States, but in different cities, in Phoenix, Los Angeles and Miami.

Valencia will actually host only one International Champions Cup, which is the match between Valencia and AC Milan, so it will be played more earlier, on July 28.

Real Madrid's first match was played at the University of Phoenix Stadium on August 2 against the Los Angeles Galaxy, where David Beckham played.

The whole Real Madrid team was scheduled to take a flight on the evening of the 30th local time in Spain, but a worrying scene happened at the first-team training ground at the Valdebebas training base the day before the departure.

Ancelotti's coaching team considered that the team was going to fly to the United States to participate in the warm-up match that night, and the training in the past few days was all about recovery, so the physical coach Giovanni Mauri organized the players to tease the monkey, that is, to grab the ball in a circle.

The first team currently has a total of 27 players, just divided into three groups of nine, two to grab the ball, seven to pass, and the rule is one touch.

Carlo Ancelotti, Zinedine Zidane and Clement are each in charge of one group as referees.

In order to let Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo spark as soon as possible, Ancelotti arranged Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo in a group, and stood in the circle as the first player to grab the ball.

The Real Madrid players are well aware of the small grievances between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, and most of the players at this time are a little distracted, but they are more in the mood of watching the excitement to see if the two will have sparks.

So the Real Madrid players in the other two groups were a little absent-minded, and they looked at Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo from time to time.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo participated in the team's circle to grab the ball together for the first time, and there was no tacit understanding at all.

Even from the psychological level, the two still have the element of competition, so they have no intention of cooperating at all, and they are fighting separately.

Tang Zheng started defense, and grabbing the ball in a circle is pediatric for him.

It's easy!

However, the ease here does not mean that he can easily grab the pass from his teammates, but that he knows how to make the most of it at the minimum cost.

Cristiano Ronaldo has privileges within the Real Madrid team, defending rarely with all his might, and grabbing the ball around the circle is more like a warm-up, so he is more like watching a play.

Football is a team sport, and the same is true for the seven-man pass, and it is difficult to grab the football with Tang Zheng's personal efforts alone.

After running back and forth for more than ten times in a row, Tang Zheng stopped and roared at Cristiano Ronaldo with a displeased face: "Can't you put in a little bit? Move? Like a man?

Cristiano Ronaldo made a straight face, stretched out his right index finger in front of his mouth, and glared at Tang Zheng.

The meaning I want to express is obvious, that is, to shut up Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng couldn't bear it anymore, he took a step forward and glared at Cristiano Ronaldo condescendingly.

The teammates found that the situation was not right, and quickly pulled the two apart, and Ancelotti hurriedly said to Modric: "Luka, exchange with Cristiano, you come and grab it." ”

"Good. ”

Modric has an easy-going personality and has no objections.

Although Tang Zheng and Modric combined for the first time, they had a good chemistry and intercepted Alvaro Morata's pass to Xavi Alonso in less than three rounds.

"Beautiful!"

Tang Zheng adjusted very quickly and happily gave Modric a hug.

Next, Tang Zheng and Morata's cooperation is not very good, or Morata works hard, but there is a feeling of using brute force.

In successive rounds, they failed to intercept a pass from their team-mate, and Morata was even pierced by Benzema, causing a burst of laughter from his teammates.

However, no one noticed that Cristiano Ronaldo saw this scene with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, raising a beautiful arc.

The football continued to pass between teammates as normal, and Morata followed Tang Zheng's division of labor to grab his teammates, and Tang Zheng was responsible for blocking the passing space.

Through the triangle pass, the ball was passed to the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo at the far end, and Tang Zheng was closer, so he took on the responsibility of tackling, and Morata switched to blocking the passing space.

Cristiano Ronaldo saw Tang Zheng's ferocious momentum, and directly pushed the ball to Benzema on the right with the arch of his right foot, and there was an obvious unloading force in his passing skills.

Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, both joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2009 and knew each other very well, and he noticed the details of Cristiano Ronaldo's pass and quickly knocked the ball back.

Tang Zheng had to brake sharply on the spot, and then turned and rushed towards Cristiano Ronaldo.

At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo took the initiative to meet the pass, giving people a feeling of wanting to take the lead.

Tang Zheng also thought that Cristiano Ronaldo was going to pass the ball back to Benzema, so he took a big step forward with his right foot.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo's right foot did not pass the ball back to Benzema, but used the agility of the ankle to use the outside instep very covertly to pull the ball to the right, and the football just crossed Tang Zheng's legs and rolled to Modric on the opposite side.

Immediately, Cristiano Ronaldo raised his arms and shouted very excitedly.

Suddenly, Tang Zheng's face became extremely ugly.

It's normal to be crotched around the ball, but there are unwritten rules in many teams.

The more famous you are, the more you can't stand the other party's crotch.

In fact, Tang Zheng didn't feel much when he was crotched, but Cristiano Ronaldo's celebration made him very dissatisfied.

Of course, he didn't break out, but waited for the opportunity to retaliate!

The opportunity soon came, and after several rounds of scrambling by teammates, Cristiano Ronaldo's pass was blocked by Benzema, who grabbed the ball, so the errant Cristiano Ronaldo came into the circle.

Through several successive transmissions, the football reached Tang Zheng's feet, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who was closer, was responsible for the grab.

Tang Zheng had a wide field of vision and saw clearly, judging according to the stride length of Cristiano Ronaldo's legs, and then used the flexibility of his ankle to suddenly break out, and the football changed direction and quickly rushed between Cristiano Ronaldo's legs.

By the time Cristiano Ronaldo realizes that he is going to be crotched, it will be too late to close his legs......

Cristiano Ronaldo was furious, knowing that no one dared to wear his crotch in Real Madrid's circle to grab the ball.

Football continues to pass and does not give Cristiano Ronaldo much room to think.

In less than two seconds, the football flew towards Tang Zheng.

Why fly?

Because Morata didn't control his footwork, he kicked to the bottom of the ball and then got off the ground.

Cristiano Ronaldo's heart was overjoyed, and his previous anger was temporarily forgotten.

However, in less than half a second, his joy was instantly replaced by anger......

Tang Zheng's footwork is very subtle, taking the initiative to face the football, the toes first meet the football and actively contract, unload part of the force, and then gently stab, the football rolls between Cristiano Ronaldo's legs again.
