With the third round of the 2013-2014 Champions League group stage approaching, the atmosphere for Real Madrid's players at the Valdebebas training base has improved significantly from the pre-international break in October.

The reason is very simple, the relationship between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo has gradually improved, from the original strangeness to the current frequent cooperation.

It's not close yet, but manager Carlo Ancelotti believes it's going to happen sooner or later.

In the blink of an eye, the third round of the 2013-2014 Champions League group stage is coming, and Real Madrid hosts the Serie A giants Juventus.

However, Juventus is still on the rise, and there is still a certain gap compared to Real Madrid, which is in full swing.

Juventus' current coach Antonio Conte fully showed weakness in his regular press conference before the game, believing that Real Madrid, which reached the Champions League final last season, is very strong, especially when Tang Zheng joins in a record, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as invincible.

The purpose of this campaign is to pursue a draw, even if it ends up losing.

In short, Conte's posture is low.

But then the home coach Ancelotti who attended the regular pre-match press conference did not eat this set, everyone is compatriots, and he knows very well what the other party thinks.

Moreover, Carlo Ancelotti is not a new manager, he has a rich coaching resume, winning two Champions League titles and a runner-up finish during his time in charge of AC Milan, and he has no conceit in the face of compatriot Conte's weakness, but pays more attention to it.

A day later, Real Madrid's third-round Champions League group stage at home to Juventus kicked off at the Bernabeu Stadium.

The main force of the two sides is the main team, the home team goalkeeper is the captain Casillas who has returned from injury, the defenders are Abeloa, Ramos, Pepe and Carvajal, the double back Khedira partners Modric, the three defenders are Cristiano Ronaldo, Tang Zheng and Di Maria, and Benzema is set at the front.

Juventus' official formation is 4312, with captain Gianluigi Buffon as goalkeeper and Caceres, Barzagli, Chiellini and Ogbonna forming a four-man back line.

The three midfielders Vidal, Marchisio and Pogba, with Giovinco in the midfield, and the two strikers are Tevez.

The two teams had met 14 times in their history before that, all of which interestingly came from the Champions League, with seven wins and seven defeats and never a draw.

It is worth mentioning that Real Madrid are slightly inferior to Juventus in terms of goals, scoring 15 goals and conceding 18 goals, but have a home advantage of five wins and two defeats, scoring eight goals and conceding five.

The last time we met was back in the group stage of the 2008-2009 season, when Real Madrid was beaten 2-0 at home and 2-1 away by Juventus.

Considering that the 2008-2009 season was at the darkest time for Real Madrid, this result is difficult to use as a reference.

Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid have reached the semi-finals for three consecutive seasons, and last season was in the final, and if it weren't for Tang Zheng's hat-trick, Real Madrid would have won the 10th Champions League trophy in the club's history.

Getting back to business, Real Madrid's third round of Group B group stage against Juventus was announced at the sound of a whistle from Germany's golden whistle Bruch, and the visiting Juventus kicked off first.

In addition to whether Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored five goals in the first two rounds of the group stage, can score again, the biggest highlight of this game is the performance of Tang Zheng and Pogba, who are more than 1.9 meters tall.

From the point of view of the body model, Tang Zheng and Pogba are not much different, and in terms of technical style, Tang Zheng is more practical than Pogba and has a stronger reading of the game.

Of course, the biggest difference is that Tang Zheng is more threatening to the opponent's goal.

Juventus, who had the advantage of the kick-off, failed to control the football and were seriously blocked by their forward penetration, and the midfield line of Tang Zheng, Luka Modric and Khedira was like a movable Great Wall, and possession quickly changed hands.

For Juventus, who are visiting the Bernabeu, this possibility has been carefully planned before the game, and the defensive level has been maintained very well.

However, Juventus coach Antonio Conte has calculated that the star will shine.

The role of the stars was vividly reflected in the third minute of the game.

Modric suddenly made a direct pass to Di Maria in the middle, and the latter passed directly to Tang Zheng at the front of the penalty area without stopping.

Tang Zheng pretended to meet the ball and shot from a distance, Pogba, who successfully deceived him, fell to the ground and blocked, and then quickly put down his right foot, smashed the ball forward, Vidal decisively put the tackle, but Tang Zheng's dribbling skills were excellent, and the distance between the football buckled out by the right heel was very good, and the ball was gently poked forward by his toes, and the football drilled between Vidal's legs.

"Whoa—"

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

It's not that Tang Zheng's passing is beautiful, but Tang Zheng's stab seems to be a little too forceful, and after he bypassed Vidal, a Real Madrid player wearing a white jersey appeared in front of him.

"Cristiano—" the Spanish TV 5 commentator shouted hysterically, "-Ronaldo!"

The broadcast footage showed Tang Zheng helplessly stopping, witnessing Cristiano Ronaldo meet the ball and cut into the penalty area, Chiellini's fallen tackle only shoveled into a cloud of air, and goalkeeper Buffon had to abandon the goal.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been in hot form recently, and he was calm in the face of the attacking Buffon, and directly pushed into the far corner, that is, the left armpit in the direction of Buffon's fall to the ground.

The moment the ball rolls into the net, the clock is three minutes and fifty-seven seconds.

It is worth mentioning that the goal in this time period is a new record for the fastest Champions League goal of Cristiano Ronaldo's career.

In addition, Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a goal, is tied with national team legend Eusebio in the Champions League scoring chart.

If he scores another goal in the next game, he will surpass Eusebio's Portuguese player with the most goals in the Champions League.

Cristiano Ronaldo knew this before the game, so even if the score was ahead, he was full of fighting spirit, and kept asking for the ball in the front, hoping to score another goal to help Real Madrid expand the score.

When Cristiano Ronaldo was celebrating his goal, the on-site director suddenly gave the camera to Tang Zheng with deep meaning.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei looked at Tang Zheng's depressed expression and changed his voice, crying and laughing: "If Ronaldo didn't appear on Tang Zheng's way forward, I think the goal to break the deadlock is likely to be completed by Tang Zheng, but ...... Cristiano Ronaldo fired the ball into Gianluigi Buffon's goal, and he also had an assist......

As the game restarted, the Real Madrid fans in the stands erupted in waves and chanting Cristiano Ronaldo was the highest.

Because Real Madrid fans also hope that Cristiano Ronaldo can help Real Madrid score another goal and extend the lead.

The fans were getting louder and louder, and the Real Madrid players were playing harder, making Gianluigi Buffon look shaky in his goal, as if he could concede a goal at any moment.

However, what I didn't expect was that Real Madrid had not yet expanded the score, and the visiting Juventus equalized first......

Cáceres grabbed a cross in front of the Arbeloa defense on the right side, the football went around to the back point, Pogba, who had a clear height advantage, pressed Coentrão to complete the header at the back point, goalkeeper Casillas subconsciously reached out to block, but because he subconsciously did not control the hand shape and direction, the football flew to the goal.

The tall and athletic Llorente carried Ramos, leaned back in the upper half of the ball, and completed a spectacular volley from five meters in front of goal, and Casillas, who wanted to complete the redemption, did not touch the football.

1：1

※※※

For this conceded goal, Tang Zheng was very helpless.

From a tactical point of view, Juventus's attack is very targeted, with a 1.95-meter-tall high school striker Llorente in front as a cover, and the back point is the easiest to ignore, and Pogba's timing of the forward insertion is also very good.

Even if they take 10,000 steps back, Ramos and Pepe's attention is not attracted, and it is difficult for Ramos, who is 1.84 meters, and Pepe, who is 1.86 meters, to complete the clearance in the process of retreating in Pogba, who rushes forward to meet the ball.

It is equivalent to saying that Conte's tactics are very targeted, using the only height advantage of the attacking line to create scoring opportunities.

Juventus equalised at the Bernabeu and Real Madrid, who had the advantage on the kick-off, did not appear to be in a hurry, but created space through tedious successive attempts to pass through.

Serie A teams are never best at attacking, but defending.

Carlo Ancelotti's knowledge of the Italian team is probably the highest in the game, so his pre-match deployment called for patience in attack.

Tang Zheng has excellent skills at his feet, has a wide field of vision, and has a strong ability to read the game, and he rarely takes the initiative to pass the ball in the forward midfield position, but more uses Modric's forward to open up the attacking width.

It's true that the Italian team is excellent defensively, but the frequent dispatch of attacking direction will certainly expose some problems.

Because offense is active, defense is passive.

Defensive changes are changes that occur passively by relying on offense, and as long as the active offense is fast enough, passive defense is too late.

However, the game was only half an hour into the game, and the Juventus players were still physically fit and focused, and they were not exposed by Real Madrid's frequent attacking arrangements.

Another presence to be reckoned with is Juventus captain Gianluigi Buffon, who has a lot of experience and is often able to yell in front of goal when the team has a problem, alerting defenders to get in place quickly.

Carlo Ancelotti, who was in charge of the game in the home coaching area, was unmoved, and he was not worried about Juventus' solid defence.

It's not that he's confident in Real Madrid's attacking prowess, but Juventus' current situation in the Champions League group stage doesn't allow them to concede another three points.

Juventus drew with Copenhagen and Galatasaray in their first two Champions League group games, and if they only pick up one point from the Bernabeu in this round, they are likely to move to the Europa League after the group stage after three games.

Compared to the huge prize money of the Champions League, the prize money of the Europa League can be described as pitiful.

In addition, the attention of the Champions League is incomparable to that of the Europa League, and the rising Juventus needs more exposure.

The Champions League, on the other hand, is the best option.

So even if Real Madrid drew with Juventus at half-time, Ancelotti was not worried that Juventus would not press out to attack in the second half.

Antonio Conte is a person, Ancelotti knows very well.

Conte still has the same engaged expression, occasionally reminding the players on the pitch how to adjust their positions through provocative gestures.

If you look closely, he is anxious.

As Carlo Ancelotti thought, the first two rounds of the Champions League draw put him under a lot of pressure, and as the second favorite after Real Madrid, he did not taste victory in the first two rounds of the group stage, which is somewhat unreasonable.

The arrogant Conte will be hoping to win even against Real Madrid.

At this moment, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was cruising to the right side of the attack, made a lateral pass, and Modric, who ran to the passing route, suddenly let go of his legs, and the football slipped between his legs and came to the middle.

Marchisio and Pogba were both shaken, and only Vidal, who was behind, concentrated on the game and ran to Tang Zheng, who met the ball.

Tang Zheng took a big step forward with his left foot during the run, and at the same time, with his waist as the axis, he turned forward clockwise about 120 degrees, and his body was facing away from the oncoming Vidal.

Vidal felt that his eyes were dark, and his hands subconsciously stepped forward, supporting Tang Zheng's back.

Tang Zheng took advantage of Vidal's forward support and turned to the right back, and at the same time flicked the ball to the right rear with the outside of his right foot.

By the time Vidal realized that the situation was wrong, it was too late to reach out and pull Tang Zheng, who had already started again with his amazing explosiveness, facing the goal head-on.

Barzagli, one of the two central defenders, did not dare to slack off and took the initiative to move forward.

"Nice smash turn!"

Yang 5 commentator He Wei suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted.

Facing the goal, Tang Zheng was not as excited as He Wei, who was in a very good situation, with the outside of his right foot passing the ball to Di Maria, who was attacking the right rib, and then ran between Barzagli and Chiellini.

Di Maria sent the ball directly to the large space behind Barzagli with the arch of his left foot without stopping the ball, which was exactly the same as Tang Zheng's running direction!

Two over one!

Barzagli stretched out his leg and tried to trip Tang Zheng outside the line of the penalty area, but it didn't work because Tang Zheng got around early.

Chiellini had to give up defending against Benzema and pounce on Tang Zheng, who received the ball.

Tang Zheng had a wide field of vision and noticed Chiellini's approach, he exaggerated his right foot and hit the goal, in fact, he wanted to dunk the ball back and pass it to the unmarked Benzema.

But the plan often couldn't catch up with the changes, Chiellini pounced too hard, and saw Tang Zheng use the instep of his right foot to dunk the ball to the left, and subconsciously stretched out.

Although Tang Zheng is tall and has long legs, he has a fast foot frequency, Chiellini's leg extension is half a beat slower, and the football is pushed away in advance by Tang Zheng with the outside of his left foot.

"Beep~"

German referee Bruch blew the whistle decisively and pointed his left index finger to the penalty spot.

"Penalty!" Yang 5 commentator He Wei said excitedly: "Tang Zheng helped Real Madrid win a penalty!"

Cristiano Ronaldo, who took the penalty next, lived up to the penalty that Tang Zheng helped the team win, facing Buffon in one fell swoop.

With the penalty kick, Cristiano Ronaldo's European goal tally increased to 58, officially surpassing Eusebio as the Portuguese player's top scorer in the Champions League, and he also surpassed Ruud van Nistelrooy to become the third highest scorer in the Champions League.
