Chapter 028: Ramos' Solution

There are four periods when goals are most likely to occur in football, at the beginning of the first and second halves and towards the end of the first and second halves, and Tang Zheng's chances were caused by the comfort of the Real Betis defenders before the end of the first half.

Of course, this is related to Tang Zheng's super personal ability, and his control of timing is really to the point of reaching the peak.

As long as the other party exposes some problems, he will use them instantly to make profits for his own side.

A kick shocked the world wave and helped Real Madrid overtake the score!

He Wei, the central 5 commentator in the Beijing studio, suddenly raised his voice an octave, and roared hysterically: "Beautiful! Beautiful! The ball is in! Tang Zheng's long-range shot breaks through Real Betis goalkeeper Anderson to guard the goal! A super long-range shot of more than 30 meters! Before the game, we thought that Tang Zheng would score his first La Liga goal at the Bernabeu Stadium, but we really didn't expect the goal to come so suddenly! So amazing! So crucial!"

"Whoa—"

At the same time, there was a deafening loud cheer at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium.

From the south stand, where the die-hard fans were, there was a tsunami-like chant: "Taaaaa-"

Ancelotti, who had already turned and walked to the players' tunnel, suddenly froze in place and became ecstatic, and he opened his arms to hug his assistants Clement and Zidane to vent the pressure of the goal.

Real Betis coach Pepe Mel shook his hand in displeasure and kicked the water bottle full of water in front of him.

Perhaps God had a grudge against him, and the water bottle he kicked open hit the left calf of the second assistant referee standing on the halfway line with great precision.

The assistant referee was in a relaxed state, subconsciously startled in the sudden situation, and then turned his head to look, he just saw Pepe Mayer still kicking the water bottle, and then looked at the water bottle lying on the grass, and his face changed.

Seeing this, Pepe Mel couldn't even fix the goal that the team conceded, and panicked forward to appease the assistant referee.

Football matches should not be 'irrational' against referees in any case, although Real Betis manager Pepe Meier's original intention was to vent his team's frustration with conceding a goal.

But the result has already been made, and the water bottle that he kicked out just hit the assistant referee, and everyone got the stolen goods.

As a result, fans sitting in front of the TV to watch the game noticed that the broadcast screen suddenly switched to the away team's coach's box, and the second assistant referee and the referee were exchanging something.

Less than five seconds later, the referee showed a red card to Real Betis manager Pepe Meier and pointed his finger at the stands.

Many fans didn't quite understand the referee's decision, so the on-site director switched to the close-up shot in front of the away team's coach for the first time.

British Sky commentator Andy Gray covered his face with his hands and smiled awkwardly: "I finally know what it means to be a disaster, Pepe Meier's experience is really no one, the team's emotional venting of losing the ball is normal, but his shooting rate makes people speechless, and he actually kicked the assistant referee, even if it is an unintentional mistake, in the referee's cognition, it is also a kind of disrespect for the referee." ”

No one thought that when Real Madrid overtook the score, the Real Betis coach received a red card for an unintentional mistake.

This at the Santiago Bernabeu was somewhat of a blow to the overall morale of the team.

After the referee dealt with the matter of Real Betis coach Pepe Meier, he did not give the Real Betis players a chance to attack, and directly blew the whistle at the end of the first half.

The on-site director's camera gave Tang Zheng, who had an excellent performance in this game, with a smile on his face and a natural expression, saying something to Di Maria, who has the same language.

Not many people noticed Cristiano Ronaldo's frown, and he looked a little unhappy compared to the relaxed expressions of his other teammates.

It's not that Tang Zheng helped Real Madrid overtake the score and made him feel anything, but that he didn't perform well enough when Tang Zheng performed well.

The huge contrast made him feel extremely stressed.

Those who are familiar with Cristiano Ronaldo know that he is a very strict person with himself, and it is not an exaggeration to even describe him harshly.

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, and in the second half, Real Betis were one goal behind and did not rush to attack, knowing that increasing their attack would only hasten their own death.

A goal down doesn't mean anything, with most of the game to go, and if you take advantage of one of those chances, you can take a point away at the Bernabeu.

It's just that Real Betis coach Pepe Mel was sent to the stands by the referee, which had a somewhat impact on the morale of Real Betis.

In the second half, Cristiano Ronaldo was still positive and asked for the ball a lot.

However, his mentality is not calm enough, he seems too impatient, so he wastes a lot of attacking opportunities.

After two consecutive mistakes, coach Ancelotti finally couldn't help but take advantage of the dead ball to shout at Cristiano Ronaldo: "Hey ~ Cristiano, you need to be calmer! Pass the ball! Pass the ball! Then go more into the penalty area and play your ability to grab points!"

Perhaps Carlo Ancelotti's tactical arrangement was more appropriate, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who frequently entered the box, found more chances.

Much to the dismay of the Bernabeu fans, Cristiano Ronaldo seemed to have a bad foot and shot in the box in quick succession.

Either goalkeeper Anderson hangs or misses the post.

In the 60th minute of the game, Real Madrid began to make substitutions, and Isco replaced Di Maria to increase the creativity of the attack in the front.

Replacing Isco, Ancelotti's idea is clear, that is, he hopes to use the tacit understanding between Tang Zheng and Isco to create opportunities for Cristiano Ronaldo.

In this regard, it is not difficult to see Ancelotti's high emotional intelligence.

Tang Zheng performed well, like a fish in water, and he had to take care of Cristiano Ronaldo's feelings to some extent.

The two bowls of water are even, and it is also a consideration of whether a coach is suitable to be the head coach of a giant.

Isco may not be as fast as Di Maria, but Isco has the ability to make sudden passes and is skilled at his feet, often creating great chances in key positions.

However, as Isco got the ball more often, new problems arose.

Who...... is the team's number one set-piece player.

Tang Zheng?

Cristiano Ronaldo?

Head coach Carlo Ancelotti and assistants Clement and Zidane looked at each other and couldn't come up with a suitable plan at all.

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored some spectacular direct free-kicks in the past, but Tang Zheng has also scored a lot, both in the Borussia Dortmund and in the International Champions Cup.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo looked at each other, not knowing how to choose.

Or the captain on the field, Ramos, had a big enough brain, he handed the football to Cristiano Ronaldo, and then hugged Tang Zheng's back: "Don, you and Cristiano are both excellent footwork, and it is difficult to decide who the penalty is handed over, so I personally think that the two of you can play once by yourself, is it okay?"

"One person at a time?" Tang Zheng frowned and lowered his head and muttered.

It took about two seconds for him to tap his chin and accept Ramos's suggestion.

Ramos breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tang Zheng's reaction, he had a good personal relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, and he got along with Tang Zheng okay, and Tang Zheng was very capable and could enhance the overall strength of the team, so it was difficult to please both ends.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who bent over and swung the ball, listened to Ramos's words, and his expression was the same as Tang Zheng at first, but as he thought about it in the process of retreating, he also silently tapped his chin.

No one expected that it was Ramos's whim that brought the problems exposed in the Real Madrid dressing room under control for the time being.

※※※

Isco's breakthrough resulted in a well-placed direct free-kick for Real Madrid, with the foul being about 30 metres straight from goal, slightly to the left, perfect for right-footed players.

Reminiscent of Cristiano Ronaldo's direct free-kicks, Real Betis goalkeeper Anderson did not dare to slack off and drove out a wall of five.

Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu Stadium watched Cristiano Ronaldo's signature compass style with high spirits and anticipation.

Cristiano Ronaldo looked at the goal through the wall and goalkeeper Anderson was nervous and stood in the far corner.

Seeing this, the corners of Cristiano Ronaldo's mouth raised a beautiful arc.

Immediately, the referee's whistle sounded, and Cristiano Ronaldo began to run......

Three seconds later, the loud cheers at the Bernabeu Stadium suddenly stopped.

But less than half a second later, the whole stadium erupted like a volcano, the sound was like a mountain and a tsunami, and a huge cheer was deafening.

"Whoa—"

At the same time, the Bernabeu stadium announcer Albert was full of incendiary elongated voice: "Goooooooooooal-"

Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the goal, was particularly excited, and instead of the usual celebration of jumping and landing on the spot, he ran wild with his arms outstretched.

Running to the right corner flag, the upper half of the flag leaned back, and the knees clasped back and slid forward, playing a sliding kneeling celebration.

Real Betis coach Pepe Meier, who stood in front of the visitors' stands, shook his head, having realised that an equaliser at the Bernabeu was unlikely......

Five minutes later, Isco won a well-placed direct free-kick for Real Madrid.

Interestingly, what many Real Madrid fans were worried about did not happen, Cristiano Ronaldo did not mean to take charge of the penalty, so Tang Zheng stood in front of the football without giving up.

It was a slight pity that the shot was angled too wide and the ball was saved over the crossbar by goalkeeper Anderson.

Next, Tang Zheng's breakthrough won a free kick opportunity.

The distance given by the broadcaster is 32 meters, slightly to the right, but Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo can both play.

This time, Tang Zheng, like Cristiano Ronaldo before, walked into the penalty area without even looking at the ball.

It was only at this time that He Wei, the commentator of Yang 5, suddenly realized something, and he smiled: "It seems that Tang Zheng and Ronaldo have reached some agreement, and the two of them take turns to take direct free kicks that can be directly hit the goal." ”

※※※

Amid the cheers of 80,000 home fans, Real Madrid scored again.

Isco, who replaced Angel Di Maria in the second half, received Tang Zheng's imaginative backheel kick and went straight into the penalty area, scoring his first goal of his Real Madrid career with a low shot into the far corner from 13 yards, and the ball swooped under the armpit of goalkeeper Anderson, who fell to the ground, into the far net.

4:1

With less than 20 minutes left in the game, Real Madrid led 4-1 at home and continued to dominate the game, as fans with a little football knowledge know...... Real Madrid won't have a problem winning.

And the biggest problem is that there are a few net wins!

In another game that ended almost two hours ago, Barcelona slaughtered Levante 7-0, and Real Madrid, who invested more than 200 million euros this summer, can't perform too badly.

In addition, Real Betis coach Pepe Mel was unable to direct the game in the first place.

Football matches are often fleeting, and if you are not careful, you can be in danger.

By the time Pepe Meyer conveyed it to his assistant through a wireless headset, he had lost the lead, and the atmosphere at the Bernabeu was frenetic and loud, and his words were difficult for assistants to hear.

But the game has come to this point, and an equaliser would be a dream, so Pepe Meier's message to the team is to defend with all their might and try not to concede any more goals.

Nevertheless, before full-time, Ramos received a high-quality corner kick from Luka Modric to make the score 5-1

In the other two games played at the same time, Osasuna lost 1-2 to Granada, and Sevilla lost 1-3 at home to Atletico Madrid, coached by Tang Zheng's mentor Diego Simeone.

The last three matches of the 2013-2014 La Liga season were decided on the second day, with Rayo Vallecano drawing 3-0 with Elche, Almeria 2-3 with Villarreal and Celta Vigo 2-2 with Espanyol.

All 10 matches in the first round are over, with Barcelona topping the league on goal difference with a 7-0 win at home, Real Madrid second with four goal difference and Rayo Vallecano third in the league.

The 2012-2013 La Liga season is won by Barcelona, the list is Real Madrid, Tanhua is Atletico Madrid, from the first round of the 2013-2014 La Liga season, the defending champions are very strong, Argentina's new coach Martino seems to be in control of Barcelona, so they have created the best start in the club's history.

Many media outlets thought Barcelona were likely to defend their league title in one fell swoop, but the Madrid media scoffed at it and dismissed it.

Most of them were brush-offs, more about the set-piece that Real Madrid fans had previously feared.

"Marca" said that Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo are both good free-kick players, and it is unfair to the other person to let whoever is the first penalty taker, so taking turns to take free-kicks reflects the wisdom of manager Carlo Ancelotti.

However, what most people don't know is that the idea actually came from the inspiration of vice-captain Ramos......

In addition, he also talked about Tang Zheng and Isco, who played for Real Madrid for the first time, and their performance was fully worthy of the Real Madrid jersey.

Especially Tang Zheng, his presence makes Real Madrid as a whole more strategic.
