With the whistle of the referee on duty, the third round of the 2014 Guinness International Champions Cup Group A between Real Madrid and Manchester United came to an end, but according to the rules of the game, a draw required a penalty shootout.

United's new manager Louis van Gaal has a headache as his Dutch national team suffered penalty shoot-outs in the quarter-finals and semi-finals.

I don't know if the penalty loss to Argentina in the semi-finals brought Van Gaal a reward, in the five rounds of penalty shootouts, Real Madrid only scored two goals by Tang Zheng and Modric, and the other two teammates who took the penalty were all missed, so that Benzema, who was preparing to take the penalty in the fifth round, did not have the opportunity to take a penalty.

Real Madrid's three games in the International Champions Cup have been poor, with one win and two defeats, with the only win coming in a penalty shoot-out.

Although Real Madrid's investment this season is not as good as the previous two seasons, the addition of James Rodriguez and the core player of the German team, the new World Cup winner, Toni Kroos, still makes Real Madrid full of attention.

The effect of James Rodriguez's arrival has been seen in three international Champions League matches, and he has not lost the name of Brazil's top scorer at the World Cup, but Toni Kroos's performance has been somewhat unsatisfactory, giving the media a place to criticize.

As Xavi Alonso gets older, it stands to reason that Real Madrid should find a player with similar technical characteristics to Xavi Alonso, although Toni Kroos is very strong in attack, but he can't find his place in the offensive end of Real Madrid's tactical system, and he can't see anyone in defense.

Therefore, it is difficult for Real Madrid to attack in the three international Champions Cup games in which Toni Kroos plays, and even if it does, it is to bypass Toni Kroos.

The huge problem was reflected in Tang Zheng's substitute for Toni Kroos in the third International Champions Cup, after Tang Zheng came off the bench, Real Madrid's attack improved significantly, and it was immediate, sending two assists in a row to equalize the score in just five minutes.

If it weren't for Tang Zheng's personal condition not being adjusted to the best, it would be difficult for Manchester United to hold the score of 2:2 at the last moment.

The saying that there is no harm without contrast, this is the truth.

However, Toni Kroos has been in Real Madrid for a short time, and the run-in period with the team has not passed, so Ancelotti still supported Toni Kroos in an interview with the media and asked the media and fans to be more patient.

Tang Zheng, who was interviewed by the media, also strongly supported Toni Kroos, saying: "It takes time for every player to adapt to a new group, I hope everyone gives Toni a little time to adapt to the new environment, he can play at the level of the German national team and Bayern Munich, and I believe Real Madrid can also ......"

The speed of news in the information age is quite fast, and the video of Tang Zheng just being interviewed by the media appeared on major platforms.

Fashionista Tony Kroos, who has his own Twitter account, has changed from a Bayern Munich player to a Real Madrid player, and he saw the video in his spare time, and he had mixed feelings.

He joined Real Madrid not to succeed Xavi Alonso, but to replace Tang Zheng.

When he was an opponent with Tang Zheng, he always thought that Tang Zheng's ability was actually not that strong, and his strength mainly lay in the fact that his teammates were very strong, but as the training time in the team increased, Tony Kroos slowly found that Tang Zheng was really strong.

Now watching this video, Tony Kroos realizes that Tang Zheng not only has superb football skills, but also has a super good character......

Real Madrid did not return to Spain immediately after their three international Champions Cup matches to prepare for the European Super Cup, but instead participated in a series of commercial events in the United States and Canada.

Originally, Real Madrid had plans to go to China to make money this summer, because Tang Zheng's performance in the World Cup in Brazil this summer was too good.

However, due to the urgency of time, head coach Carlo Ancelotti hurriedly called a halt.

President Florentino also realizes that flying from the US mainland to Chinese mainland will have a great impact on the fitness of the players, and the next step is to prepare for the European Super Cup, the Spanish Super Cup and the 2014-2015 La Liga season.

The 2013-2014 Europa League winners Sevilla FC should not be underestimated, as did Spanish Super Cup rivals Atletico Madrid.

If you want to get good results with high investment, it is very inevitable to ensure the health of core players.

When Mourinho was in charge of Real Madrid, it was because of too much money in the summer, which led to the player's physical reserves at the beginning of the season were not ideal, and the chain fell early.

Armed with the lessons of the past, Florentino, who was at the helm of the luxury warship, had to consider the possible consequences.

When the whole Real Madrid team returned to Madrid to prepare for the new season, the official website of the Real Madrid club was updated again, and Tang Zheng joined Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 10 million euros in the 1/8 finals of the World Cup faced by Tang Zheng in the 1/8 finals of the World Cup.

Meanwhile, there was also an official transfer update from Barcelona with Belgium international Vermaelen moving from Arsenal to Barcelona on a €15 million plus €4 million floating clause.

In fact, Tang Zheng is most concerned about whether the club has a plan to recruit in the forward position, Morata has excellent ability, and young, the first to transfer to Juventus this summer, it is not enough to rely on Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema in the front line, in order to get good results in the new 2014-2015 season, the bench depth must be sufficient, especially the striker who is responsible for attacking the city.

Angel Di Maria and Jesse are better suited to the wingers, while Isco and James Rodriguez tend to be play-oriented, so it is essential to find suitable substitutes for Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, who can play as central strikers.

Real Madrid is a world-class club, and it is natural that the substitute striker should also find a decent one.

It's a pity that until the 2014 European Super Cup, there was a lot of thunder and little rain.

The 2014 UEFA Super Cup was played at Cardiff City Stadium in Wales, with Real Madrid's squad arriving in Cardiff two days before the tournament, and their UEFA Super Cup rivals, Sevilla, clearly took the tournament more seriously, arriving four days before the game.

But in many cases, attention can bring good results, Real Madrid's overall strength is stronger than Sevilla, and Tang Zheng, the best player in La Liga last season, performed as well as ever, assisting Cristiano Ronaldo to score twice in the first half and lead by two goals.

In the second half, Real Madrid, who had the superior strength, continued to control the game under the deliberate control of Modric, Xavi Alonso and Tang Zheng.

With two goals down, Sevilla were keen to step up their attack, but they slowly found themselves feeling like they couldn't do it.

With 70 minutes played, Real Madrid began to make a series of substitutions, with new signings Toni Kroos and James Rodriguez coming off the bench in place of Xavi Alonso and Jesse respectively.

As a result, there was a very interesting scene on the field of Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo wore the number seven, Toni Kroos wore the number eight, Benzema wore the number one, Tang Zheng wore the number ten, and James Rodriguez wore the number one.

7, 8, 9, 10, 11, straight flush.

Reminiscent of Barcelona's latest attacking combination MSN, No. 7 Pedro, No. 8 Iniesta, No. 9 Suarez, No. 10 Messi, and No. 11 Neymar also form a straight flush.

The new season of La Liga will be even more interesting!

To get back to the point, Real Madrid's substitute James Rodriguez and Tang Zheng seem to have a natural chemistry, and the passing and cutting cooperation is very tacit.

Only Toni Kroos, who plays as a playmaker midfielder, is a little uncomfortable and is outside of Real Madrid's entire tactical system.

As the core of the midfield, Tang Zheng consciously approached Toni Kroos to help him integrate into the team's tactics, but it was not good to think about it.

However, Tang Zheng is not discouraged, Toni Kroos is a very capable midfielder, and he believes that Ni Kroos will one day integrate into the whole.

Real Madrid's attack did not work smoothly after having Toni Kroos, and even made mistakes.

In this situation, Sevilla got a number of attacking opportunities.

At this time, Tang Zheng's super ability to read the game, sense of responsibility and sense of position were vividly reflected, and he appeared in Sevilla's passing route many times.

Coupled with the transfer of Sevilla midfielder Rakitic to Barcelona, which led to a decline in attacking ability, Real Madrid's 2-0 lead was maintained until the end of the game, thus winning the second European Super Cup in the club's history.

It was no surprise that Real Madrid won the tournament and won the title, but a series of stats from the match were in the spotlight for the media and fans.

Real Madrid's victory ended the 11th consecutive year of the UEFA Super Cup winning the UEFA Champions League and the Europa League, with the last successive UEFA Super Cup winners winning the UEFA Super Cup dating back to Real Madrid and AC Milan in 2002 and 2003.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored twice in the game, also recorded the goal, surpassing Gued Muller and Lionel Messi with 70 European goals, and is joint with Inzaghi for second all-time and only seven goals behind Real Madrid legend Raul.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti equalled Pep Guardiola to become the second coach to win the UEFA Super Cup three times.

He also equalled Alex Ferguson and Trapattoni with six European titles, winning a staggering 13 of his 17 finals in his managerial career.

Captain Iker Casillas became the first player to captain the World Cup, European Cup, Champions League and UEFA Super Cup, bringing his career tally to 20 titles, tied with Puyol among Spaniards behind Xavi, Gento, Andres Iniesta and Valdés.

Considering the peculiarities of Casillas's goalkeeper position, the Chinese New Year's Eve is likely to surpass Xavi and others at the end of his career.

Tang Zheng also added another trophy in terms of personal glory, from the original nineteen championships to the current twenty championships.

Of course, these 20 championships are a bit 'watery'.

During his time at River Plate, Tang Zheng's three La League titles can only be counted as one and a half, because a full season of the League is divided into spring and autumn leagues.

But among these 20 championships, each championship was won by Tang Zheng through his own efforts.

He was represented by the 2012-2013 Champions League and the 2013-2014 Champions League winners, and it was Tang Zheng's excellent performance that helped Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid win the Champions League respectively.

After the game, the Chinese domestic media and fans added another piece of love for Tang Zheng, coupled with the fact that he led the Chinese team to the quarterfinals in the World Cup in Brazil this year, and has become the hottest athlete in the whole of China in 2014.

Everybody knows, everybody knows.

Real Madrid's European Super Cup champions in Cardiff naturally became the focus of attention from fans around the world.

The next day, the Real Madrid squad returned to Madrid and the players were given a two-day holiday.

The 2014-2015 season of the French Women's First Division Football League has begun, as the starting goalkeeper of Lyon, Zhao Lina returned to Lyon, France early to prepare for the game, and Tang Zheng's parents are in Shanghai, so they habitually return to the Valdebebas training base in their spare time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I came to the first-team training ground, I saw that James Rodriguez, who had just joined this summer, was already training with the ball, thinking of James Rodriguez's professional attitude, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, jogged over, and said hello.

The club have yet to sign a player who can play the central striker position, and according to Tang Zheng's knowledge of manager Carlo Ancelotti, the team is likely to adjust their tactics in the coming 2014-2015 season.

Di Maria's playing time has plummeted since the arrival of a star player like James Rodriguez, who has excellent skills and good looks, and has recently been in a transfer turmoil, and once Di Maria leaves, it is very likely that the fast attack on the wing will be abandoned, after all, James Rodriguez is not the kind of player who eats by speed.

James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos, who transferred to Real Madrid at a high price, will naturally not sit on the bench, and the just-concluded European Super Cup is beginning to appear.

James Rodriguez has been well integrated into the team, but that doesn't mean he's fully integrated into the team, so he ...... Knowing that Tang Zheng had a habit of training, James Rodriguez came to the training ground early.

Everyone knows that Tang Zheng is the core of Real Madrid, and if he can maintain a tacit understanding with Tang Zheng, James Rodriguez believes that he will be the first choice of coach Carlo Anceloretti.

One person's practice is lonely and boring, but two people's practice together is different, and the content can be richer.

The news of James Rodriguez and Tang Zheng's training at the Valdebebas training base spread far and wide, Tang Zheng's training is normal, and it has been a habit since the beginning of his career, so that fans have a wrong worldview - Tang Zheng is normal to practice, and it is not normal to practice without training.

It was a surprise that James Rodriguez had no precedent for extra training during the team's holiday.

The unexpected behavior made him a lot of points in the hearts of Real Madrid fans.

Real Madrid's preparations for the Spanish Super Cup continued with the introduction of Atletico Madrid, following Mandzukic, Oblak, Anezmann, Siqueira, Correa, Moya, Ansaldi and Gámez, as well as the introduction of high-quality Mexican international Jimenez.

Although Tang Zheng did not wait for the club to bring in strikers, he believes that with the current strength of the team, he can still beat Atletico Madrid and win the first Spanish Super Cup championship in his career!
