In the 2013-2014 Champions League quarter-finals, Barcelona drew 1:1 with Atletico Madrid at home, and Manchester United drew 1:1 with Bayern Munich.

With Atletico at the top of the table and Barcelona second by one point, the two teams that can compete for the La Liga title are in a draw in the Champions League, and the league will certainly have reservations for the crucial second leg at the Calderón Stadium.

After all, the Champions League is obviously more attractive than the league title.

Although Real Madrid will also host defending champions Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Real Madrid's league pressure is obviously less.

Of course, the premise is that Real Madrid can win at home against Borussia Dortmund and try not to concede a goal.

After the live broadcast of Spanish National Television Channel 5, there were also comments on the relevant La Liga pattern, but Tang Zheng didn't have the patience to watch it anymore, he turned off the TV directly, took a shower and went to sleep.

In the evening, Tang Zheng had a dream that he led Real Madrid to a big victory over Dortmund at the Bernabeu, and then went to the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final at the Westphalabe Lun Stadium and was booed by Dortmund fans.

So Tang Zheng woke up halfway through sleep, he casually put his hand on the bedside table, took out his mobile phone and looked at it, it was only past three o'clock in the morning.

Tang Zheng has always had a habit since the beginning of his career, as long as he wakes up, no matter how long he sleeps, it is difficult to fall asleep again, so he lay down in bed with the word 'big' and sighed.

If you don't sleep well at night, it's hard to guarantee your natural mental condition the next day.

Tang Zheng, who returned to the Valdebebas training base, yawned repeatedly, and there was a pair of obvious panda eyes on his face.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was changing his sneakers, jokingly said: "Hey~ Tang, did you fight with Zhao until dawn last night?"

Immediately, there was a tacit laughter in the locker room.

Tang Zheng didn't speak, just showed his middle finger to express his helplessness.

Isco usually has the best relationship with Tang Zheng, and he said next to him: "No, Zhao is in France." ”

Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes rolled, his right hand was empty into a grip, and then he shook it up and down, and said playfully: "You shouldn't have been masturbating all night, right?"

"Masturbation~ Masturbating your head. Tang Zheng rolled his eyes and spread his hands: "I'm going to fight Dortmund at night, and I have insomnia." ”

Hearing Tang Zheng say this, Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly tapped his head to show understanding.

It was the same feeling when he played for Real Madrid for the first time against his mentor Alex Ferguson's Manchester United.

As a person who has come over, Cristiano Ronaldo put his right hand on Tang Zheng's shoulder after changing his equipment, and said: "I understand your thoughts and baggage, I used to be the same as you, when I faced Manchester United again after three years, I remember that when I returned to Old Trafford, that feeling is really difficult to describe in words, in short, you can feel it now, as a person who has come over, I can only tell you...... The better you behave, the most basic respect for your old club. ”

"The most basic respect?" Tang Zheng glanced at Cristiano Ronaldo meaningfully: "How do I feel that you are kidnapping me to deal with Dortmund?"

"Hehe~" Cristiano Ronaldo coughed lightly, hit Tang Zheng's shoulder with his right hand slightly, stood up with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's you who win...... I, and everybody's hope, you don't want us to be knocked out of the tournament by Borussia Dortmund, do you?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng naturally didn't talk nonsense, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course it's promotion." ”

"Isn't that all there is to it?"

Cristiano Ronaldo left Tang Zheng with a back.

After that, Cristiano Ronaldo added: "By the way, you remember to supplement your sleep, otherwise I'm worried that you won't be able to run......"

At the training ground, Tang Zheng originally wanted to insist on participating in the warm-up training of the whole team, but the head coach Ancelotti was resolute, and Tang Zheng went to the living building to supplement his sleep when he had no choice.

With half a day to go before the first leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League quarter-finals hosted by Real Madrid against Borussia Dortmund, a large number of fans have gathered in the square around the Bernabeu Stadium.

You must know that the Champions League matches have always been held in the middle of the week, according to the European working schedule, except for special industries, the working hours are Monday to Friday, which means that the Champions League fans have to go to work in the middle of the week, so the game time is scheduled to kick off at 8:45 pm European time.

Of course, it is possible to take time off from work on weekdays.

So with half a day to go before the start of the game, it was surprising that tens of thousands of fans gathered at the Bernabeu Stadium.

At 5 p.m. local time in Spain, the whole Real Madrid team had dinner at the hotel, then rested for an hour, and took the team bus to the Bernabeu Stadium at about half past six.

It is worth mentioning that before the game, there was no smell of gunpowder on both sides, and it seemed very bland.

Especially when I think of the fierce battle between the two teams in last year's Champions League final, it is puzzling.

In fact, it is easy to understand the other way of thinking.

Real Madrid and Dortmund itself have no historical relationship, the Champions League final is normal, Dortmund captain Tang Zheng joined Real Madrid again, the performance is worth the ticket price, and the Champions League 1/8 final away to Schalke 04 in the Dortmund fans also cheered for Real Madrid.

This kindness is remembered by Real Madrid fans.

Of course, there was harmony between the two sides before the game, and it is not known whether this was the case during and after the game.

Real Madrid arrived at the Bernabeu Stadium by bus and the speed began to slow down because many fans were on both sides of the road, and in order to avoid accidents, the speed reduction was inevitable.

“Tannnnnnnnnnnnnnnng——”

At this moment, Tang Zheng, who had taken off his earplugs, suddenly heard a loud shout from outside the car window.

He turned his head to look out the window, where a large number of Dortmund fans waved and chanted under the lights.

In addition, there were many Dortmund fans holding banners, slogans and a huge poster of Tang Zheng wearing the Dortmund number 10 shirt.

Seeing this, Tang Zheng was a little moved, and then quickly turned his head away, and it took about two seconds before he looked back, showed a charming smile, and waved his hand.

Until Real Madrid took the bus and parked it at the designated location, there were Dortmund fans greeting Tang Zheng.

If it weren't for the fact that the match was played at the Bernabeu, it is estimated that some would have thought that it was at the Westfalcan Stadium.

Shortly after, the home team's players came to the Bernabeu Stadium to warm up after changing their equipment.

At this time, the stands were already filled with about sixty percent of the fans, and there were still a large number of fans lining up to enter the stadium step by step.

It is believed that in the near future, the Bernabeu Stadium will be full.

"Whoa—"

At the same time, the Real Madrid fans in attendance made a huge cheer.

The Real Madrid players who had just arrived hurriedly waved their hands to thank the fans who were there, after all, this group of people is the most difficult to serve in the world, and they must be reciprocated.

Within two minutes, the visiting Dortmund Stadium warmed up, and the cheerful atmosphere at the Bernabeu Stadium suddenly changed, from chanting to boosing.

As a professional footballer, I know that I will inevitably be treated by the province of boos away from home, so there is nothing uncomfortable with it.

Tang Zheng just followed the team jogging to the entrance of the players' tunnel, he stopped, took the initiative to walk to the Dortmund player, and then raised his right hand, shook the nearest Lewandowski hard, and then hugged each other.

He then shook hands and hugged other former teammates, Royce, Hummels, Gotze, Subotic and Yan Junling.

Of course, Lu Liang, who was excavated by him, did not forget, he took the initiative to go over and supported him.

Because Lu Liang has been in very good form recently, he has made great contributions on the offensive end, so much so that manager Klopp has praised him to varying degrees.

It can be seen from this that Lu Liang, who has not yet reached the age of nineteen, has unlimited potential.

As an active Real Madrid player, Tang Zheng is not suitable for talking to his former teammates for too long, so he returned to his own camp and continued to warm up.

By the time the warm-up training for both sides was over, the Santiago Bernabeu stadium was already full of fans from both sides.

CCTV 5 TV station connected to the live signal in advance, and Duan Huo, the commentator of the Beijing studio, seemed very happy: "The players on both sides have all returned to the locker room, and the game is getting closer and closer for us, this game is the first time in Tang Zheng's career to face his old club, I think the fans who have been waiting in front of the TV for a long time can't wait......, right?

In the home team's dressing room, Ancelotti never guides the players' emotions, so he waited for the players to finish preparing and directly took over the tactical board from his assistant Clemente, and repeated the explanation of the tactics of the game to deepen the impression of the players.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the visitors' dressing room is the polar opposite of that in the home dressing room, with Jurgen Klopp being the passionate manager, so he prefers to stir up emotions rather than deliberately reinforce tactical impressions in the dressing room.

It's not that Klopp doesn't say it, but he cares more about the spirit of the players.

Klopp knows that the current Dortmund is no longer the invincible Dortmund team last season, and the actual gap with the powerful Real Madrid is obvious, if it is not for the player's attitude to the game, then the game is likely to end.

As a result, Klopp's provocative voice began to stir up the excitement of the players.

※※※

With 10 minutes to go, UEFA staff knocked on the doors of the home and away dressing rooms, reminding them to get to the players' tunnel to prepare for the game.

The close-up of the on-site director was given to the players' tunnel, and the players on both sides of the game converged in the players' tunnel from two directions one after another.

The starters stayed in the tunnel, while the substitutes walked straight out of the tunnel and sat on the bench.

Tang Zheng just appeared in the players' tunnel, and the close-up of the live director switched over for the first time.

In the broadcast screen, his intimate former Dortmund player communicated, after all, Tang Zheng is a Real Madrid player and the owner.

Since you are the host, you must be hospitable.

After all, many TV stations did not receive live signals in the previous warm-up stage, so Tang Zheng could not be seen as the owner to welcome his former teammates.

Before the start of the game, according to the broadcast practice, the TV station used for the broadcast rights will give the live game signal in advance, and Tang Zheng can be seen as the 'master' to welcome the former teammates of Dortmund.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei smiled: "In this way, Tang Zheng is really a master, but ...... I'd rather see the moment when Tang Zheng returns to Westphalun Stadium a week later, I think...... It should be exciting. ”

In the Real Madrid team, there is currently only one German international Khedira, but Khedira has not been in much trouble lately, but he is a substitute player in this game.

Of course, Khedira, who was in a bad mood, did not forget to hug and greet his teammates in the national team and then make some jokes.

According to the official starting lineup submitted by both sides to UEFA before the start of the game, Yan Junling appeared in the starting list as the starting goalkeeper.

Lu Liang has been in good form recently, but Klopp is clearly seeking stability, and he did not choose to send the young Lu Liang, but followed the strongest winger combination last season.

Gotze on the left, Reus on the right, Mkhitaryan in the middle, and Lewandowski at the front.

It is worth mentioning that in the 2013-2014 season, with the increase in injuries and the fluctuation of Pirlo's form, the playing time became less and less, so he returned to Serie A on a free transfer during the winter break to join Juventus.

The back pair were Ilkay Gundogan and Sven Bender, but there were no changes at the back, Schmelzer, Subotic, Hummels and Piszczek.

On the Real Madrid side, Champions League captain Casillas put the ball in the goal, the back line is Marcelo, Pepe, Ramos and Carvajal, the double back Modric partners Xavi Alonso, the three defenders are Cristiano Ronaldo, Tang Zheng and Di Maria, and Benzema is at the front.

After about half a minute, the two sides of the game stood up and waited for the game to play.

After a short time, the Italian referee Rizzoli led the referee team out of the players' tunnel, and the players on both sides of the game each led a small ball boy into the court in two columns.

"Whoa—"

Suddenly, a deafening cheer rang out over the Bernabeu pitch.

At the same time, the classic Champions League theme song "Champions Europe" sounded on the live radio.

I don't know why, Tang Zheng always gets excited every time he hears this song, so his Champions League games are often extremely good and he scores a lot of goals.

It's just that Real Madrid now has Cristiano Ronaldo, a goal machine, and Tang Zheng no longer needs to be both a father and a mother like Dortmund.

"Beep~"

With a whistle from Rizzoli, the first leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League quarter-finals kicked off at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Borussia Dortmund, who kicked off first, did not have the slightest sense of being a guest, and Mkhitaryan and Gotze directly organized a very threatening attack.

Within a minute of the game, Lewandowski set up Dortmund to make a killing spell and forced Casillas to make a brilliant save.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei shouted: "Klopp's team is still so full of strategy, fortunately Casillas is very focused, otherwise Dortmund will open the scoring in the blitzkrieg, Real Madrid must be careful next!"

Mkhitaryan whipped in a corner, and Tang Zheng cleared the ball ahead of former teammates Hummels and Robert Lewandowski.

Immediately, the game entered the rhythm of Real Madrid, and the visiting Dortmund was on the defensive.
