Chapter 063: Triple Crown VS Fig Leaf

The Copa del Rey is not very important for a team of Real Madrid's level, but it doesn't mean much if it is built on a league title.

Double Crown!

The past season has completely dominated Spanish football!

But the double was not the glory of Real Madrid's entire 2014-2015 season, with six days later there was another Champions League final at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Germany.

If they can beat Barcelona, they will become the second La Liga team in the history of Spanish football, after Barcelona in the 2008-2009 season.

If Real Madrid really beat Barcelona six days later, then they will not only achieve their treble, but also give Barcelona the darkest period in football history - the king of Sanya.

The night at the Mestalla was crazy, but life went on, with one last game left for Real Madrid, the team returned to Madrid the next day and then disbanded on the spot, with coach Carlo Ancelotti giving the players a day off.

Because the Chinese women's football team is going to train to prepare for the World Cup in Canada between June 7 and July 6, Tang Zheng's girlfriend Zhao Lina went to the United States after finishing the French Women's Football League early to prepare for the Women's World Cup in Canada with the national team.

During the one-day break, Tang Zheng did not rest, and he continued his journey of recovery.

A thigh strain is an annoyance, especially when you are not fully recovered from a high-intensity event, and the burden on your muscles is obvious.

Barcelona is not an ordinary team, it is an opponent on a par with Real Madrid, in order to help the team win the game, Tang Zheng goes all out every time he takes the ball and handles the ball, which causes his muscle burden to be very large.

He will certainly start the Champions League final in five days' time, and he will have to do a lot of preparation with Olmer, the team doctor, in order to be able to play for 90 minutes.

Real Madrid's squad prepared for the 2014-2015 Champions League final at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin at the Valdebebas training base, while Barcelona were in full swing at the Gamble Sports City.

The only difference is the atmosphere in which the two teams prepare for the game, with Real Madrid winning the 2014-2015 La Liga title with a record 103 points in a single season, and then winning the Copa del Rey in the Copa del Rey final with two goals behind.

This kind of heartfelt joy makes the preparation of Real Madrid players pleasant, but Ancelotti is worried that this season's win against Barcelona in all competitions may make the players feel a little bad mentality.

Now that Barcelona have won all competitions, the Champions League final also means that they will continue to win.

If you give your best, you will win the game, and if you don't give your all, you will win the game, so why go all out?

Again...... Real Madrid are the defending champions and there will always be some slackness.

However, it is precisely because Real Madrid are the defending champions that Ancelotti has become even more worried.

Since the Champions League was restructured, no team has been able to successfully defend their title.

Is Real Madrid okay?

He didn't know.

During the period when Real Madrid was preparing for the Champions League final, the media who followed the Champions League final also talked about this, and the 2007-2008 Champions League winner Manchester United reached the final of the Champions League in the 2008-2009 season, but lost 0:2 to Barcelona and failed to defend the title.

Therefore, since the reform of the Champions League, no team has been able to defend the title, which has become a curse in the history of the Champions League, and many media and football experts are not optimistic about Real Madrid's Champions League final.

Catalonia's influential local newspapers Le Monde Sport and Daily Sport are spreading the curse that no team has been able to defend the title since the Champions League was restructured, giving Barcelona some confidence while putting pressure on Real Madrid in preparation.

Suffering Real Madrid's defeat in all competitions this season will certainly bring huge pressure to the Barcelona players, especially in the just-concluded Copa del Rey final, where the frustration is very deep when they lead by two goals and lose.

In the Barcelona team, it is not said that all the players are full of frustration, such as Messi, who is very scrappy and has shown excellent competitive form in preparation for the Champions League final.

Coach Enrique's eyes lit up, and Messi's excellent competitive form is likely to lead the whole team.

Sure enough!

As Messi showed great competitive form, other Barcelona players also got better and better under his influence.

Suarez and Neymar, in particular, scored goals in the group confrontation that they did their best.

Enrique looked at the MSN duo that were getting better and better, and he wondered if maybe the Champions League final would be three days away...... There's a play!

In fact, in terms of overall strength, Barcelona and Real Madrid are equal, but many times there will be a certain gap in the players' on-the-spot performance, especially in the games where Tang Zheng plays, Messi will often play a big discount, which is also the fundamental reason why Barcelona has not tasted victory since facing Real Madrid in the 2013-2014 season.

A Messi who plays normally is the best Barcelona, on the contrary, Messi's abnormal performance will make Barcelona feel like losing its backbone and its combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

※※※

The 2014-2015 Champions League final is in full swing as the two sides prepare for the upcoming Champions League final, and the media outlets that make a living by reporting football news continue to report on the preparations of both sides.

There are real and fictional ones, so fans who follow the preparation of both sides of the game seem helpless, they have no idea which is real and which is fake.

For example, Real Madrid fans, according to the 2014-2015 season, Real Madrid is obviously in better form than Barcelona, but many media have reported that no team has ever defended the Champions League since the reform of the Champions League.

As a Real Madrid fan, can you not worry?

Barcelona fans have seen a lot of authoritative media reports on Barcelona's winless record against Real Madrid in all competitions, and there are data to back it up, even if no team has been able to defend the Champions League since the Champions League was restructured, but records are often used to break, so ......

However, die-hard Tang Zheng fans do not have this worry, Tang Zheng has won all the finals he has participated in in the past, and they believe that Tang Zheng's own title of 'King of the Finals' can lead Real Madrid to the final victory!

In addition to Tang Zheng's victory in the finals, he can often play his best in strong dialogues and turn the tide with his personal ability.

Time was fast, and it was two days before the Champions League final.

Real Madrid and Barcelona flew to Berlin, the capital of Germany, on different flights to prepare for the Champions League final at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin!

At the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, Tang Zheng has wonderful memories.

During his time at Borussia Dortmund, he led Dortmund to four consecutive seasons of the German Cup, and the final was held at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin!

The 2014-2015 Champions League final was held at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, and many optimistic Real Madrid fans believed that Tang Zheng, who came to the Olympic Stadium in Berlin again, could lead Real Madrid to break the curse and successfully defend the title!

It is worth mentioning that when the whole Real Madrid team arrived in Berlin, a large number of Dortmund fans came from all over the country to welcome Tang Zheng.

Dortmund's glorious history is linked to Tang Zheng.

In other words, Dortmund without Tang Zheng would not have had a glorious history.

Although Tang Zheng has not been with Dortmund for a long time, only four years, he has brought more championships in four years than Dortmund has achieved in the past 100 years combined, and Tang Zheng left Dortmund a total transfer fee of 125 million euros when he left.

Therefore, not many Dortmund will blame Tang Zheng, because they know how to be grateful.

If Tang Zheng continues to stay in Dortmund, or many Temunds can still dominate the Bundesliga and 'run amok' in the Champions League, but Tang Zheng's choice is understandable.

The exposure of the Bundesliga is far less than that of the La Liga duo, and it does not help Tang Zheng's career much, so ...... Most Dortmund fans support Tang Zheng's choice.

Looking at the Dortmund fans who came to the airport to pick up the airport, Tang Zheng was full of emotion.

The frenetic atmosphere at the Bernabeu Stadium is there, but in many cases there is no way to compare with the Westphalen Stadium, where the Shakhtar-turned-Borussia Dortmund fans are wild, uninhibited, and hysterical chanting tends to start and end from the first second of the game.

Real Madrid fans are arrogant, and it is difficult to create suffocating shouts from beginning to end.

Life needs to look forward, and all Tang Zheng can do now is raise his hands above his head and clap his hands to thank the Dortmund fans who came to the airport.

If it weren't for the limited time, Tang Zheng even planned to satisfy those fanatical fans who belonged to him.

The Olympic Stadium in Berlin is all too familiar to Tang Zheng, and the adaptation venue before the game is more like a conquered emperor coming to his own territory.

Looking back on the four years when he wore the Dortmund jersey, Tang Zheng couldn't help but smile at himself.

James Rodriguez turned his head to look at Tang Zheng, who was smiling stupidly, and asked curiously, "What dirty things are you thinking?"

"You don't understand!"

Tang Zheng crossed his hands on his hips and looked directly at the main stand of the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

Looking at it, it was the youth that had passed away.

Looking at Tang Zheng in a drunken state, James Rodriguez shrugged his shoulders and continued to warm up.

At the regular pre-match press conference the day before the game, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti brought Tang Zheng.

This also means that Tang Zheng will be the starting player at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin tomorrow night, and many Real Madrid fans breathe a sigh of relief.

In the past half a month, Tang Zheng has been plagued by injuries, and five days ago in the Copa del Rey final he played 45 minutes as a substitute, although he played extremely well in the 45 minutes he came off the bench, and he didn't see any problems, but Tang Zheng, who returned to the locker room in advance, made many Real Madrid fans feel a little worried.

Judging from the current overall state of Real Madrid, it seems that only Tang Zheng is the most trustworthy.

If Tang Zheng can't appear in the starting lineup again, then the upcoming Champions League final will be difficult to say.

Barcelona, who lost the Copa del Rey final, have been in very good form in recent times, especially the MSN combination in the frontcourt, and Real Madrid fans are worried that the team's backline will not be able to block MSN's attacking firepower.

Fortunately, Tang Zheng appeared in the starting lineup, and the Champions League final at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin tomorrow night has to be marked with a big question mark.

Most of the questions were asked by the media, but only two in Catalonia asked some serious questions.

"Since the Champions League was restructured, no team has been able to successfully defend the title, what do you think?"

Tang Zheng glanced at the work nameplate of "World Sports News" and grinned: "Barcelona has lost all of us this season, what do you think?"

Suddenly, the middle-aged balding reporter of Le Monde Sport had an extremely ugly face, while the other reporters in the press conference hall burst into laughter.

Tang Zheng's answer was-for-tat, but it gave people the feeling that it was light and light, but the lethality was beyond imagination.

Immediately, Tang Zheng added in front of hundreds of visiting reporters, full of confidence: "Records are often used to break, so the so-called curse has no effect on me, because ...... I'm just here to record!"

The young female reporter of "Daily Sports" wanted to find fault, but was silently scolded back by Tang Zheng, so that the reporter who asked the next question was cautious......

Coincidentally, the player who followed Barcelona manager Enrique to the regular press conference was Messi.

After missing out on consecutive league titles and the Copa del Rey title, the question asked by media reporters is whether Messi can lead Barcelona to beat Real Madrid in the final.

What is different from the past is that Messi is full of confidence, and in the face of the reporter's interview, he said with confidence: "Win the game! Championship! is my goal, and it is also the goal of the whole team!

On the day of the game, there was still half a day before the start of the game, and the outer square of the five-star European stadium Berlin Olympic Stadium was already crowded, and Barcelona fans wearing white jerseys and red and blue striped shirts could be seen everywhere.

In addition to the fans on both sides of the game, there were also a large number of Dortmund fans wearing the yellow number 10 shirt.

They are not here to support Real Madrid, but simply to support Tang Zheng.

These Dortmund fans, led by a Dortmund resident named Hans Heisenberg, sang the easy-to-understand "Song of the Don" to each other, showing a different style on the periphery of the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

As a domestic sports media in China, Tang Zheng had a lot of dealings with Dortmund fans during his time at Dortmund, so they knew each other very well.

When Dortmund fans learned that it was a Chinese reporter who interviewed them, their faces were full of pride and kept boasting about how amazing Tang Zheng was.

It can be said that the Dortmund fans who were interviewed chose to speak, and the Chinese reporters interviewed were particularly comfortable to listen to.

"Let's go, guys!"

At six o'clock in the afternoon local time in Germany, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, who was reminded by UEFA staff, spoke aloud to the players in the hotel lobby.

"Come on! We are the champions! The first team to defend the Champions League since the Champions League was restructured!

As all the coaches and players of Real Madrid boarded the bus provided by UEFA, the Real Madrid fans who had been waiting for a long time at the Real Madrid Lower Tower Hotel issued a unified and loud chant.
