Chapter 100: Double crown in hand, sit back and wait for the Champions League
In the 79th minute of the game, Tang Zheng, who came on as a substitute, used an earth-shattering world wave to blast Ter Stegen to guard the goal, helping Real Madrid to make the score 3:3, and there was still enough time to overtake the score with ten minutes left in regular time!
This possibility can be easily seen by both the fans at the Calderón stadium and those sitting in front of the television.
After all, Real Madrid was 0:3 behind in the first half, Bale's brace narrowed the difference, Tang Zheng equalized with a hammer, there was still time in the game, and Barcelona, who was scored three goals in a row, was obviously demoralized.
The Barcelona stars who appeared on the broadcast screen had ugly faces, some with their hands on their hips, some with their hands covering their faces, and some with their hands on their knees, and when they were three goals ahead, they thought the Copa del Rey was within reach, but ...... Nearly 80 minutes came, Real Madrid equalised.
Tang Zheng, who was supposed to accompany his wife at the Royal Maternity Hospital, unexpectedly returned to the Calderón Stadium to bring hope to the team, and Bale's second goal was inspired by this, and soon, Tang Zheng's goal equalized, so the Barcelona players did not see any hope of winning the title.
The Barcelona fans in the stands were the most realistic, with some getting up and leaving their seats as Tang Zheng celebrated his goal, walking in droves towards the exit.
Obviously, they had already guessed the outcome of the game.
The facial expressions of Enrique in the home team's dugout and Zinedine Zidane in the away team's dugout have changed dramatically, Zidane has gone from being worried to being high-spirited, and Enrique has gone from being excited to being extremely anxious.
Enrique still has a substitution in his hands, but he doesn't know how to make it.
Although the morale boost brought by Real Madrid's three goals in a row is invisible, the effect it can play is immeasurable.
The game restarted, Barcelona's overall momentum was hit by a huge blow, reduced to the minimum, they had the advantage of the kick-off they were cut off by Real Madrid players without a few passes, and had to enter the stage of switching from attack to defense.
"Whoa—"
The football soon came to Tang Zheng's feet, and the huge chanting of Real Madrid fans resounded over the Calderón stadium, which was deafening.
Rakitic and Busquets approached Tang Zheng very tacitly, because they had a hunch that if Real Madrid had a counter-goal, then there was an 80% chance that it would be related to Tang Zheng.
As for why they think so, I don't know if I ask them, I can only say that it is intuition.
However, Real Madrid's attack did not result in a shot on goal, and Carvajal's cross from the right went straight to the bottom line.
Barcelona manager Luis Enrique let out a long breath that a draw would still guarantee extra time and the possibility of fighting for the title.
Conceding another goal would mean that Barcelona would be completely insulated from the Copa del Rey winners.
In the blink of an eye, the game came to an end, Barcelona and Real Madrid both made the last substitution of the game, but Barcelona did not show the posture of seeing death as home, they chose to hold on to the half, and gave the initiative to Real Madrid.
British Sky commentator Andy Gray laughed: "Luis Enrique is very jealous of Don, his team retreated to half-court defense in the late stages of the game, you must know that Barcelona's best way is not to defend ......"
Martin Taylor looked at Tang Zheng, who organized the attack in the broadcast screen, and tapped his head: "The Real Madrid offensive line led by Tang is invincible, and it makes sense for Luis Enrique to choose to retreat to the half, after all, a draw can still give Barcelona the hope of winning the championship, once the attack is strengthened, the speed of Gareth Bale and Jesse is not something that Barcelona's defense can resist." ”
As he spoke, the fourth official had already appeared on the broadcast screen with an electronic card holding up the four minutes of injury time, which means that there are still four minutes left in the game.
Tang Zheng's Real Madrid attack has also entered a relatively slow rhythm, Enrique is afraid of the speed of Real Madrid's counterattack, and Tang Zheng is also worried.
Suarez, who is at the front, has a very strong ability to hold the ball, and can fight alone or make balls for Messi and Neymar, not to mention Messi and Neymar, who are simply moving battering rams.
The slightest mistake can lead to all efforts being wasted.
At this point in the game, no one could afford to concede a goal.
Of course, this is directly related to the severe decline in fitness of both sides of the game.
After another two minutes of observation, Tang Zheng realized that it was very difficult to tear apart Barcelona's defense through passing, so he gradually leaned towards using his personal ability.
Taking advantage of a dead-ball opportunity, Tang Zheng pulled Bale, Jesse, Benzema and Modric to say a few words.
"So, so, and so ......"
This interesting scene was successfully captured by the live director with a keen sense of smell, and the commentators in the on-site commentary seat instantly came to their senses.
TV commentators who regularly broadcast Real Madrid matches will remember that every time Tang Zheng pulls his teammates for a brief exchange, there is a high probability that it will cause a goal.
Yang 5 commentator He Wei's voice was an octave higher, and he said curiously: "Could it be that Tang Zheng has found a hole in Barcelona's defense?"
Keylor Navas kicked a goal kick and Hovi shifted his attention to re-commenting on the game to the fans in front of the television.
Tang Zheng's outstanding height and accurate judgment of high-altitude balls beat Sergio Busquets and Rakitic to rub the ball to left-back Marcelo, and the Barcelona players were extremely tactically executed, quickly returning to the 40-meter defensive area when the Real Madrid players were in control of the ball.
Enrique did not know if Real Madrid would attack for the rest of the game, and in order to stabilize the situation, he could only ask his players to retreat to half time and drag the game into extra time.
As for face, it is not on his radar for the time being.
What is face compared to a champion?
Modern football is all about results, and as for the process, who cares?
"Beep~"
Just when Enrique was in a state of flux, the referee's whistle sounded, and he frowned as he looked at his own defensive half, and his frown deepened.
Mascherano, who was aggressively scrambling, was half a beat slower to close his legs, tripped and then inserted Modric who was involved in the attack.
Enrique looked up and saw that the foul was committed on the right side of the edge of the penalty area, about 23 metres from the goal.
This...... Not good news.
Although it is very close to the goal, it is incompatible with the free kick style of Tang Zheng and Bale, but it is ...... What if?
It is also very possible to produce miracles vigorously.
Therefore, Enrique, who stood in front of the coach's seat of the home team, was particularly nervous, and the score from 3:0 to 3:3 had put him under great pressure, and if it became 3:4 again, then this game would really become a huge stain on his coaching career.
At this time, he seemed to be able to feel the mood of Atletico Madrid manager Simeone in the 2014-2015 season.
Thinking of this, Enrique quickly shook his head, putting this thought behind him.
Real Madrid have only won a free-kick and have not yet won the scoreline.
"Whoa—"
Although Real Madrid only won a free-kick in a good position, the Real Madrid fans in the stands were confident that this direct free-kick would give Real Madrid the fourth goal of the game!
Ter Stegen did not dare to slack off and discharged a six-man wall in the penalty area.
The man wall stands in the near corner of the goal, and he stands in the far corner, standard defensive free-kick close-range positional coordination.
Yang 5 commentator He Wei was full of excitement and excitement: "Real Madrid won a direct free kick in a good position in the third minute of stoppage time, but who will take the penalty for this goal? Tang Zheng or Bale?"
From a free-kick position, this goal is more suitable for a left-footed player.
Tang Zheng and Bale stood in front of the football at the same time, each other's eyes were fixed on the direction of the goal, and it seemed that anyone could take a direct free kick in this excellent position.
Many die-hard Real Madrid fans were somewhat melancholy when they saw this scene, because the conflict between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo began from a free kick.
But it is not difficult for fans with a little discernment to see that Tang Zheng and Bale have no problems, after all, Tang Zheng and Bale did not compete for the ball under everyone's noses, and they all looked at each other's goals, making it unclear who would take the free kick.
Only Tang Zheng and Bale themselves know who is in charge of this ball.
In the frenzied atmosphere of the scene, Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen became more and more nervous, and he could not guess who would kick the ball.
"Beep~"
At this moment, the referee on duty blew the whistle.
Barcelona's six-man wall and goalkeeper Ter Stegen instantly tensed their nerves and their eyes were fixed on football.
It was Bale who started to run, but he only took two steps and then froze.
False shaking!
At this moment, everyone knows that Bale is a disguise, and it is Tang Zheng who really takes the free kick!
The frenetic atmosphere at the Calderón Stadium was minimized by electric light, and Real Madrid fans and Barcelona fans subconsciously held their breath.
Real Madrid fans are full of anticipation, and Barcelona fans pray to God, hoping that God can stop Tang Zheng and bless Barcelona to win the only title of the season.
Tang Zheng uses a conventional three-step run, the first two steps increase in an increasing distance, and the last step is extraordinarily large, and the Barcelona six-man wall thinks that Tang Zheng is going to burst, and they have to protect their crotch and face while jumping, hoping to block the shot while avoiding Tang Zheng's close-range free kick on his body.
Tang Zheng picked up his right foot and made a gesture to make a powerful explosion.
However, the Barcelona six-man wall jumped halfway and regretted it, because Tang Zheng's exaggerated right foot did not hit the football, but pushed it hard with the arch of his foot, contrary to the half-high ball they thought.
Boccia!
Although Tang Zheng's touch on the ball was the arch of his foot, he was not slow, and the ball rolled quickly from under the Barcelona six-man wall to the near corner of the goal against the turf.
Ter Stegen, the goalkeeper standing at the far end of the goal, reacted extremely quickly and moved to the left almost as soon as the ball rolled under the wall.
Ter Stegen's reflexes are among the best in the world, but in the end, the speed of the ball is faster than his body can move, and with a goal of 7.32 meters, his height also limits his reach, so there is only so much Ter Stegen can do.
"No!!"
Ter Stegen's hysterical roar did not change the trajectory of the ball, which grazed the right post of the goal and rolled into the net......
Suddenly, the Calderón Stadium turned into a sea of joy for Real Madrid fans, who jumped from their seats and created a huge shout like a tsunami: "Whoa, whoa—"
British Sky Commentator Andy Gray sharply lengthened his voice: "goooooooooal-"
"The ball is in, the ball is in!" Yang 5 commentator He Wei was full of passion, jumped up with both hands on the commentary seat, and shouted: "Three and a half points in injury time, Tang Zheng scored an imaginative slash to the ground to break through Ter Stegen to guard the goal! Real Madrid overtook the score! 4:3!! What an incredible game! Real Madrid scored four goals in a row with the brace of Bale and Tang Zheng when they conceded three goals in the first half! Before the game? Who would have thought?"
Tang Zheng, who scored the goal, looked very excited, he opened his arms, ran wildly, and then hooked his fingers at his teammates, signaling to celebrate the game goal together.
In front of the away team's bench, the Real Madrid players walked directly across the sideline of the field, across the entire stadium, and ran towards Tang Zheng.
The goal in the fourth minute of stoppage time was undoubtedly a stunner!
A lore that doesn't give the Barcelona people any chance!
Coach Zinedine Zidane didn't cross the pitch like a player, but he jumped three feet high in a suit.
In stark contrast is Barcelona manager Enrique, who tuggs at his hair with both hands.
He really didn't think about why this game that should have been won out of ten turned out to be the way it is.
Unscientific!
Can't figure it out!
After celebrating with his teammates, Tang Zheng did not forget that today was the birth of his daughter, and he ran to the camera to do a classic lullaby celebration.
Immediately, the on-site director switched the camera to the Real Madrid fans in the stands.
In addition to the Real Madrid players on the field cooperating with Tang Zheng's celebrations, the Real Madrid fans in the stands also did the same, their arms naturally raised and arched, and they did lullaby celebrations with Tang Zheng, thanking Tang Zheng for his contribution to Real Madrid and welcoming the birth of Tang Zheng's child.
The Real Madrid players who overtook the score were the subjects of the live broadcaster, and the same was true of the disappointed Barcelona players, none of whom escaped the close-up of the live director.
By the time the Real Madrid players finished their celebrations, the clock was in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
The referee on duty did not blow the full-time whistle, but gave Barcelona a chance to attack.
It's a pity that the Barcelona players have no fighting spirit, including the MSN duo, which has high hopes from Barcelona fans.
The football was cut off by Tang Zheng after a few feet were passed forward, Tang Zheng, who got the ball, did not organize an attack, he was very smart to control the rhythm of the game, pass the ball backwards, and consume game time.
The Barcelona players who were behind the score had no intention of grabbing the ball when they lost the ball, and the referee on duty, Marienco, shook his head, and then blew the full-time end whistle with two short and one long: "Beep~Beep~Beep~~"
"The game is over!" At the same time, the Yang 5 commentator He Wei raised his voice an octave: "The game is over!! Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 4:3! Won the second trophy of the season! Congratulations to Tang Zheng, who is a new father! Congratulations to Real Madrid! I hope they will win the triple crown in the Champions League final in six days!"
Countless fans sitting in front of the TV have begun to look forward to the moment when Tang Zheng lifts the Champions League trophy at Cardiff Millennium Stadium......
