Ancelotti's idea is to rest the core players who played the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in midweek at the weekend, and then put Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting line-up for the weekend league, and if he is not in good form, he can be put on the bench for the next Champions League semi-final.

However, in the absence of most of the main players in the weekend league, he scored a hat-trick and showed excellent competitive form.

Add to that the fact that Cristiano Ronaldo is on the club's top salary, and it is completely undesirable to put him on the bench without any warrants.

Then there is only one other option left, Cristiano Ronaldo starts, and Tang Zheng sits on the bench.

As a manager, no one knows better than Carlo Ancelotti what Tang Zheng can do to the team as a whole, otherwise he would not have left Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench.

However, with the arrival of the end of the season, the European Championship ushered in the countdown, Portugal coach Santos was interviewed by the media to put pressure on Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo, as the top scorer in the history of the Real Madrid team and the number one header of the Portuguese national team, is the guarantee that Portugal will get a good place in the European Championship in France this year......

Although the conflict between Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng seriously affected Real Madrid's results, after all, Cristiano Ronaldo has made a great contribution to Real Madrid and is the top scorer in team history, and many fans still hope that Cristiano Ronaldo will start when he is healthy.

Before the first leg of the 2015-2016 Champions League semi-finals, La Liga ushered in a week of double matches, compressing the league cycle and increasing the preparation time for the Spanish national team's European Championship preparations, with Real Madrid hosting Villarreal and away to Rayo Vallecano.

The league has not won the championship, even the second place in the league is not guaranteed, so Ancelotti will focus on the two legs of the Champions League semi-finals.

Real Madrid won the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, and Real Madrid, who reached the semi-finals this season, can be upgraded to the first team to win the Champions League for three consecutive seasons since the Champions League was restructured, after becoming the first team to defend the title since the Champions League was restructured.

However, in order to ensure the state of the main players, the two league games were played in turns, among which Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo also staggered the starting time, and one person played a start, which also gave media reporters room to give full play to their imagination.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, who started the league at a staggered start, both showed excellent competitive form, winning 3-0 against Villarreal and 3-1 against Rayo Vallecano respectively, ushering in four consecutive league wins.

Bayern coach Pep Guardiola, who came to the scene to watch Real Madrid's game, showed a wry smile on his face, the first leg of the Champions League semifinals is approaching, and Real Madrid's most troublesome Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo are in a state that cannot be ignored and are very worried.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo started most of the games this season, and Real Madrid's results were quite poor, but Real Madrid's overall offensive efficiency and results have improved significantly when they started at a staggered start.

Pep Guardiola was thinking about how great it would be if Tang Zheng could start at the same time as Cristiano Ronaldo......

But with the poor performance in the Champions League quarter-finals, Ancelotti, who is an old fritter, will definitely be thoughtful and will not easily try to start at the same time.

So...... Continuing to put Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench?

"Whoa—"

The frenetic atmosphere of the game brought deafening loud shouts, but Guardiola was like a master in the valley, completely out of the way, thinking about his own business.

However, considering that there have been a lot of voices in support of Cristiano Ronaldo recently, there is a good chance that Ancelotti will not continue to hide Cristiano Ronaldo in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

Starting together?

It's likely, but it's not high.

Don't...... Let Tang Zheng sit on the bench?

Thinking of this, Guardiola feels that the possibility is extremely high.

Real Madrid don't need a win at the Allianz Arena in the first leg, they just need to walk away with their whole body.

Carlo Ancelotti is an Italian coach after all, and he is conservative in his bones, and it is impossible to risk it away from home.

Therefore, Real Madrid, who visited in the first leg, should consider defense first, and there are many voices supporting Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ancelotti is very likely to consider putting Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting line-up, so as to put Tang Zheng on the bench.

The Real Madrid team returned to the Valdebebas training base to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final at the Allianz Stadium four days later, and just after the first training session, Zidane found Tang Zheng with a little apology.

With the development of the modern Internet, Tang Zheng, who pursues fashion, pays some attention to the news disseminated by the media, combined with the twisting and pinching of Zidane, who is a teaching assistant and a good friend, Tang Zheng seems to have guessed something, so he asked tentatively: "Qi Dan, are you ...... Coming to be a lobbyist?"

Zidane looked surprised, he finally prepared mentally, but Tang Zheng cut directly to the topic, so Mu Ne tapped his head.

The relationship between Tang Zheng and Zidane is very good because of Ronaldo, and he smiled: "As long as it is a decision made by the coaching staff, I support it, but it is ......"

Speaking of this, Tang Zheng paused, his voice was raised twice, looked in the direction of Cristiano Ronaldo, and said, "It's just...... I want to be able to do it the same. ”

Zidane didn't know what Tang Zheng meant, but he was not the head coach and had no way to make the decision, so he could only discuss with Ancelotti.

Five minutes later, Zidane agreed to Tang Zheng's request.

Carlo Ancelotti had a headache and solved the starting problems of Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, and it was not easy to play Bayern Munich away.

The overall strength of Bayern Munich this season has increased greatly, and last summer they spent a lot of money to pack Lewandowski and Gotze away from Dortmund, plus the original good squad, and now this Bayern Munich team is completely said to be a luxury division.

As the Champions League semifinals get closer and closer, Bayern stars are interacting with Tang Zheng more and more intensively, especially former teammates Lewandowski and Gotze, claiming to kill the 'Bayern nemesis' at the Allianz Arena.

Tang Zheng, who learned that he was not in the starting lineup, was not very emotional, so he was tepid in the face of the ridicule of his former teammates.

The first leg of the Champions League semi-final at the Allianz Arena was not only a clash of former Borussia Dortmund team-mates, but also a clash of former Real Madrid team-mates.

In the summer of the 2013-2014 season, Xavi Alonso was transferred to Bayern Munich for 9 million euros, and many people thought that the 33-year-old Xavi Alonso had gone downhill in his career, and it was a very good deal for Real Madrid to sell him, but it turned out that Xavi Alonso was in very good shape, and he was still able to serve as the core of Bayern Munich's midfield at the age of 35.

The first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid was the time for Xavi Alonso to 'get revenge' on his old club.

In addition, Bayern academy player Toni Kroos also faced his old boss.

The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals was Manchester City's home game against Atletico Madrid, and the two sides played it out 1-1 after 90 minutes of fierce battle, with former Atletico Marqueiro Aguero and Antoine Griezmann scoring a goal each.

On the second day of the Champions League matchday, when Real Madrid's starting list appeared on UEFA's official website, it attracted a lot of attention.

Because Real Madrid did not have Tang Zheng in the starting lineup, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who was supposed to be on the bench, appeared in the starting lineup.

Bayern coach Pep Guardiola was stunned at first when he saw the starting list, and then happy.

Before the game, he thought that Carlo Ancelotti would make corresponding countermeasures, so he planned in advance.

Forty minutes of warm-up time passed in a blink of an eye, and the Bayern players who returned to the home team's dressing room were full of energy, and the head coach Pep Guardiola was very satisfied, and waved his hand: "Guys, there is no need to say much about tonight's game! Whether we can enter the final, the first half is the key! We attack with all our might!!"

Hearing this, Lewandowski, Thomas Muller, Ribery and Robben looked at each other, and they were most afraid of hearing that the team facing Tang Zheng would defend first and then attack.

Who would have thought that this game would have to go all out on the attack!

I was so excited that I didn't even notice that 'first half' was the key phrase.

However, for Bayern at home, this crucial sentence was unimportant throughout the first half of the game, the important thing was to score in the first half and score as many goals as possible......

※※※

“Goooooooooooooooooal——”

When Robert Lewandowski celebrated his goal, the entire Allianz Arena was in a frenzy, and every Bayern fan was in a hysterical outlet, and Sky Deutschland commentator Marcel Leif raised his voice.

In the 36th minute of the game, Bayern Munich at home will lead defending champion Real Madrid by three goals.

Whether it is the result or the process, no one has thought about it.

The Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena were in a frenzy, and the live director gave a meaningful close-up, first to Cristiano Ronaldo with his hands on his hips and a helpless face, and then to Tang Zheng on the away bench.

Compared with Cristiano Ronaldo's helplessness, Tang Zheng can't wait to play.

He worries that it will be difficult for the team to hold on to the score for the rest of the first half in their current state.

In other words, Bayern Munich could be in the next game time, scoring more goals and killing the game early.

So Tang Zheng turned his head to look at Ancelotti in the command area of the coach of the away team, the precursor to coming on as a substitute is a warm-up, without Ancelotti's reminder, he is not qualified to come off the bench.

In fact, Ancelotti also wants to make adjustments to the lineup, but Real Madrid is not an ordinary team, and non-injury substitutions will cause great damage to the replaced players.

Therefore, the current Ancelotti wants to stabilize the rhythm first, not to panic, send Tang Zheng in the second half and then wait for the opportunity to organize an effective attack, and then score at least one away goal, and wait until he returns to the home Bernabeu to fight hard.

However, it was about to come to the end of the first half of regular time, Xavi Alonso, who left without a place in Real Madrid, sent a precise long pass, successfully found Romon, who was inserted in the back, the latter jumped back to the top in the run, the football flew flat from the right rib of the penalty area to the middle of the penalty area, Lewandowski leaned back against Ramos, completed an end shot, and the football flew into the goal from the armpit of Navas, who subconsciously fell to the ground......

4：0

Who would have thought that Bayern Munich would play Real Madrid 4:0 at home, and ...... It took less than forty-five minutes in the first half.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Real Madrid, who were four goals behind, had no momentum at all, and when the whistle blew at the end of the first half, the Real Madrid star walked straight to the players' tunnel with his head down and returned to the dressing room.

In the second half, Tang Zheng came off the bench to replace Isco, who played in the front midfield.

Tang Zheng's substitution has certainly positively improved Real Madrid's offensive and defensive transitions, but his lack of understanding with Cristiano Ronaldo has caused Real Madrid's frontcourt attack to never bring a direct threat to Bayern's backline.

In addition, Pep Guardiola's tactics changed quickly, shrinking the defense and trying to maintain a four-goal lead until the end of the game.

In the last 60 years of the Champions League, no team has been beaten back with a four-goal lead.

Although it is not said that Bayern Munich has qualified for this season's Champions League final 100%, it can at least increase the probability to more than 90%.

Tang Zheng, who has high hopes from Real Madrid fans, works hard and often actively participates in the attack while completing the defensive work, but when the football is at the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo, it always drags on for half a beat, so that he misses the best time to pass the ball.

In fact, Cristiano Ronaldo also wanted to pass the ball to Tang Zheng, but he was a little unconvinced, if he took the initiative to pass the ball to Tang Zheng, it was equivalent to admitting that he had yielded, and it would be too late for him to overcome his psychology and think about passing.

Cristiano Ronaldo is also quite in place to actually control Cristiano Ronaldo, so he realized that the time was too late and did not pass the ball to Tang Zheng again, but passed through the transition of other teammates to Tang Zheng's feet.

Football matches are ever-changing, especially high-level confrontations, the pace changes too fast, and if you are not careful, opportunities are fleeting.

It wasn't until the 84th minute of the game that Real Madrid pulled a goal back, Tang Zheng then inserted into the small penalty area to receive a cross from James Rodriguez to complete a very stretched prostitute, and goalkeeper Neuer couldn't even react.

But Tang Zheng rushed too hard and hit his right shoulder directly on the right post of the goal, and he did not celebrate the goal when he scored the goal, but his expression was distorted, looking very painful.

Neuer, who was scored a goal by Tang Zheng, was very unhappy and had a straight face, if the fans did not look at the score, they might think that Bayern was behind Real Madrid by a big score.

However, when he saw Tang Zheng's expression distorted, and his left hand covering his right shoulder, he immediately realized something......

After nearly a minute of treatment, Tang Zheng, who was fine, endured the pain and continued to enter the game.

An away goal is not enough!

Bayern Munich is not comparable to a team like Wolfsburg, which has just lost the core of its midfield.

Tang Zheng, who returned to the game, was somewhat uncomfortable due to the pain in his right shoulder, which led to poor performance, and just after four minutes of stoppage time, the referee on duty Rizzoli decisively blew the whistle for the end of the game.

No one expected that the defending champions would lose 1:4 to Bayern Munich.
