Before the game, the home team fans thought that Real Madrid would beat Atletico Madrid lightly at the Bernabeu, but both the game process and the result were far from their imagination, and the home 1:1 draw against Atletico Madrid, which had greatly increased the strength of the new season, cast a shadow on the first glory of Real Madrid's new season.

From a far-reaching perspective, it may even affect the 2014-2015 La Liga title race.

This summer, Real Madrid only brought in three players: James Rodriguez, the popular fried chicken of the World Cup in Brazil, Tony Kroos, the core of the midfield of the German team, and the goalkeeper Navas of Costa Rica.

The season is long, and the depth of the bench cannot be said to guarantee the league title, but it can increase the likelihood of the league title

La Liga doesn't know from which season, the league championship is taken by Real Madrid and Barcelona in turn, and the other teams are reduced to accompanying the prince to study, but from the 2013-2014 season, the league title competition has changed from Real Madrid and Barcelona to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

In La Liga last season, Atletico led from the beginning of the season to the end of the season, and if there was no desertion at the end of the season, they could have finished the 2013-2014 La Liga season with a long lead.

Before the start of the 2014-2015 season, Atletico Madrid increased its investment unprecedentedly, introducing nine players with strong strength but not particularly famous, coupled with last season's league championship team, Atletico Madrid in the new season definitely has a strong strength with Real Madrid and Barcelona, and the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup just concluded also proved that Atletico Madrid has this strength.

At the regular press conference after the game, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone's answer to the media interview was very characteristic and domineering: "It's a pity that we can't beat Real Madrid away, but it doesn't matter, we will definitely beat Real Madrid in the second leg of the Calderon Stadium in three days!!"

In addition, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, who was interviewed by the media, was a little quiet, apparently affected by the first-leg Super Cup that had just ended.

However, vice-captain Sergio Ramos is very optimistic about Real Madrid's prospects, and he is very scrappy: "What about a draw at home? Can you be sure that Atletico Madrid, who will return to their home stadium, Calderón, will win the game? Or will they shrink back and end the game 0-0?"

Due to the tight schedule of the two Spanish Super Cups, and the shortly before the start of the 2014-2015 La Liga season, the Real Madrid players did not get any time off and returned to the Valdebebas training base to prepare for the 2014 Spanish Super Cup at the Calderón Stadium two days later.

However, just a day before the start of the Spanish Super Cup, the official websites of Real Madrid and Manchester United announced at the same time.

Argentine star Angel Di Maria, who joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2010, reached an agreement with the club on a transfer to Manchester United, the exact amount of which was not disclosed, but was soon revealed by the media.

Real Madrid's main player Di Maria moved to Manchester United for £59.7 million last season, becoming the second value of Wales star Bale who moved to Manchester United last year, and the two sides signed a five-year contract until the summer of 2019.

Tang Zheng sighed and sighed after seeing the news.

In fact, Di Maria's transfer rumors have been rumored for a long time, but a three-way agreement has just been reached.

Without Real Madrid, Di Maria, the new season in all competitions is likely to usher in a huge challenge.

Di Maria's technical characteristics are distinctive, speed, and breakthrough ability is extremely strong, and in the case of Di Maria's transfer and departure, only Jesse who has the ability to break through in the Real Madrid team is left after returning from injury.

But Jesse does not have the aura of Di Maria, in the final analysis, he is not capable enough to take on big responsibilities.

The arrival of James Rodriguez and Toni Kroos does add depth to the squad, but it does not do any good for Real Madrid's overall tactics.

The new galactic battleship is star-studded, but lacks speed.

Without a quick counterattack with speed, there is no soul......

※※※

Di Maria's transfer to Manchester United immediately attracted the attention of countless media and fans, and even many Real Madrid fans were very dissatisfied with President Florentino's choice.

You must know that Di Maria, who has joined Real Madrid for four years, can be said to have made great achievements, and Real Madrid's ability to win the tenth Champions League title in team history last season is also closely related to Di Maria, and he didn't expect to make way for new signings in just three months.

The Real Madrid players interviewed by the media are also not too slow to choose the club, because Di Maria's ability is best known to them, plus they have fought together in the past few seasons, and they have already developed a lot of friendship, and it is somewhat difficult to adapt to the sudden departure.

But the transfer and departure and transfer to join are as normal as eating and drinking in professional football, and life has to go on, and Real Madrid has to go to the Calderón Stadium to challenge Atletico Madrid, and there is no time to sigh and see the newcomer laugh but not the old cry.

At 8 p.m. local time on August 22, that is, at 4 a.m. Beijing time on August 23, the second leg of the 2014 Spanish Super Cup was played as scheduled at the Calderón Stadium.

As Real Madrid failed to beat Atletico Madrid at the Bernabeu in the first leg, the second leg at the Estadio Calderón attracted a lot of attention.

Will Atletico Madrid, who are playing at home, win the Super Cup, or will Real Madrid defeat Atletico Madrid to win the Super Cup?

There was a lot of speculation, but what they never expected was that less than 100 seconds into the game, Atletico Madrid, with their new striker Mandzukic, received a header from Antoine Griezmann at 1:21 and scored on the right edge of the penalty area.

"Whoa—"

Suddenly, the Calderón stadium resounded with a huge chant like a deafening cry from Atletico Madrid fans.

The Real Madrid players in the penalty area looked at each other, Tang Zheng covered his mouth with his hands, and looked depressed, he was very timely to return to the defense, but the problem was that Toni Kroos, who was an organizational midfielder, was flashed in front of Griezmann and completely headed the ball.

Although the Bernabeu conceded in the first leg was not directly related to Toni Kroos, it was his misplaced pass that gave Atletico Madrid a corner after a quick counter-attack, and the game was more direct, his lack of defensive awareness was exposed, and Griezmann flashed in front of him to complete the header.

So the live director gave Tony Kroos to the Atletico Madrid players who celebrated the goal, and British Sky commentator Andy Gray sighed: "Tony Kroos, who won the World Cup for Germany this year, seems to have suffered Waterloo after joining Real Madrid, and completely despises the Tony Kroos who is comfortable with Bayern Munich and the German national team......"

Tony Kroos, who appeared on the broadcast screen, also realized that the team's goal loss was directly related to him, and frowned, but his stubborn personality made him not know how to face his teammates.

Since his move to Real Madrid, local Spanish media have revealed that the 33-year-old veteran Xavi Alonso will most likely leave Real Madrid before the summer transfer window closes, due to the arrival of the younger Toni Kroos.

If there is no problem with Toni Kroos showing the strength of Bayern Munich and the German national team, the problem is that he is not accustomed to the situation in Real Madrid's tactical system, he can't find a feeling at all, and even became one of the sinners of Real Madrid's failure to win the summer international Champions Cup.

Coupled with the indirect mistake in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid fans can be said to be increasingly dissatisfied with his performance.

It's not for nothing that Real Madrid fans have the title of the hardest fans in the world to serve, and they booed Toni Kroos tacitly.

Thankfully, it was Real Madrid away from home, otherwise Toni Kroos would have been able to experience the cacophony of boos from the sinister Real Madrid fans for the first time.

At this moment, Tang Zheng suddenly patted Toni Kroos on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't think too much, adapting to the new tactical system will inevitably have problems, everyone will make mistakes, the important thing is that you know how to avoid making mistakes again, you are a player who knows how to play with your mind, I am very optimistic about your career prospects at Real Madrid." ”

When Tony Cross looked up at Tang Zheng, Tang Zheng had already turned around and walked forward.

Looking at Tang Zheng's back, Tony Cross's bad mood added a touch of warmth.

Atletico took the lead early at home stadium Calderón, and the Atletico fans in the stands looked extremely excited, as if they saw the Spanish Super Cup in their arms early, so the cheers were higher and higher.

Instead of defending as the media had speculated before the game, Atletico did not go all out in the restart, but increased the efficiency of the counter-attack based on full-court pressing.

Originally, Atletico Madrid's strength was not much worse than Real Madrid's, and Cristiano Ronaldo missed the starting list due to injury, Real Madrid's offensive was greatly affected, even if Tang Zheng performed well, it was difficult to support it alone.

Shortly after the start of the game, Atletico's players were full of energy and the full-court pressing was extremely effective, and Real Madrid's dominance of the midfield in Europe last season struggled to organise an effective attack in Atletico's efficient and imposing defence, and it was difficult to even maintain football control.

Real Madrid's first shot of the game came in the 18th minute, when Tang Zheng took a freehand Marseille maneuver with Gabi and Thiago, and then opted for a long-range shot from a poor angle.

Although the shooting location was 35 meters from the goal, Tang Zheng's shot still forced goalkeeper Moya to make a crucial block.

I don't know if Tang Zheng's long-range shot inspired the overall momentum, and Real Madrid's offensive has increased significantly.

However, Simeone soon limited Real Madrid's midfield pass by adjusting his tactics on the spot, and the game returned to Atletico Madrid's control at home.

James Rodriguez, who performed well in the first leg, became much more honest after being fouled by Atletico players and fell into a slump.

Benzema was completely unsupported by his teammates up front and was on the slump list.

If there is anyone who performs more normally, it is only Tang Zheng.

He can see people on the offensive end and he can see them on the defensive end as well.

Of course, Tang Zheng's performance can only be said to be normal, not amazing.

Last season, Simeone had a rigorous tactical arrangement against Tang Zheng, which became especially obvious before the start of the new season, first Gabi did not leave an inch when defending, and then there were special players to intercept the passing routes of Tang Zheng and other offensive players in the frontcourt.

In other words, Tang Zheng's forward pass route was blocked, and he could only organize a tandem midfield attack through horizontal passes and return passes.

But then again, there is no way for football to pass forward, and there is naturally no way to play a threatening attack, and Tang Zheng is not the kind of person who can create opportunities through his own breakthroughs every time.

Atletico Madrid also made few achievements in attack in order to suppress Tang Zheng's play, and neither side scored until the end of the first half.

As the fifteen-minute break passed quickly, Real Madrid were the first to make a substitution, with Cristiano Ronaldo coming on injured as substitute Toni Kroos, who was not very good, and the formation changed from the unfamiliar Christmas tree formation to the usual 4231 formation.

Cristiano Ronaldo's substitute appearance increased the defensive task of Atletico Madrid's defenders, and the pressure on Tang Zheng suddenly smiled a lot, but Atletico Madrid led the score, as long as the score of 1:0 was extended to the end of the game, it was the Super Cup champion, so from the full-court pressure in the first half to a comprehensive retreat.

Atletico's tactical changes have given Real Madrid a lot of time to keep the ball, and Tang Zheng can also organize the attack in a relatively relaxed environment.

But...... This looseness is to be put in double quotation marks.

Cristiano Ronaldo's substitute appearance did release some pressure on Tang Zheng, but Cristiano Ronaldo was injured and relatively afraid of physical confrontation, and Tang Zheng still had a lot of responsibilities to hold the ball at his feet.

Real Madrid's attack has been unable to threaten the Atletico goal, and the close-ups of the live broadcast have taken care of Real Madrid coach Ancelotti one after another.

Obviously, the on-site director who knows the ball hopes that Carlo Ancelotti can come up with a solution to the current predicament that Real Madrid is experiencing.

Halfway through the second half, Carlo Ancelotti tried to replace James Rodriguez with Isco to make the squad the same as last season's regular, but it didn't work out much.

Tang Zheng consciously strengthened the long-range shooting when the team was in a downturn as a whole, and the effect was not bad, but the long-range shot that was too far away from the goal posed little threat to Moya's goal, and there was still a certain gap with the goal.

Another long-range shot was saved by Moya on the bottom line, Tang Zheng crossed his hands on his hips, feeling the shouts of Atletico Madrid fans, and a sense of powerlessness swept through his body.

The FIFA virus brought by the World Cup is certainly there, but the real problem is that the Atletico players are in really good shape, and many of their teammates are a little carried away after winning the 10th Champions League, which is a clear gap from last season's performance.

Although Tang Zheng performed well, his personal efforts could not be compared with the outstanding Atletico Madrid of the whole team.

Until the referee on duty blew the full game, the score of 1:0 shown on the scoreboard at the Calderón Stadium did not change, which means that Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid with a total score of 2:1 over the two legs and won the Spanish Super Cup again after 29 years.

Two days later, Real Madrid's official website and Bayern's official website were updated at the same time, and an agreement was reached on the transfer of Xavi Alonso.

Seeing Xavi Alonso's transfer news, Tang Zheng knows...... Real Madrid will be even more difficult in the new season!
