Chapter 104: The Six Crowns

"Beep~Beep~Beep~~"

The 2016-2017 Champions League final came to an end with the referee on duty, Bruch, who blew two short and one long whistles.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Juventus 4:1 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff with Tang Zheng's two shots and one pass, winning the twelfth Champions League title in the club's history, and Real Madrid also became the first team in Europe to win the treble twice.

League winners, domestic cup winners and Champions League winners!

"Whoa—"

At the same time, the Real Madrid fans at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium were hysterically creating a deafening chant.

Although it was predicted before the game that Real Madrid would beat Juventus in this stadium, when they actually won the game, they still felt the adrenaline mineral, so as to vent the surging feeling in their hearts.

However, Juventus fans have accepted the reality at this time, the overall strength gap between Juventus and Real Madrid is obvious, it is good to be able to win the game, and it is reasonable to lose, after all, Real Madrid's overall strength is more superior, and Real Madrid's performance in this game is very good.

The blame is on the players who were given high hopes for not showing their true strength, so that the attack could not put pressure on Real Madrid's defence.

However, the match was a foregone conclusion, and Juventus fans did not care why they lost, and they applauded their team.

At this time, players need encouragement rather than sarcasm.

Of course, the attention is more on the winner, Real Madrid.

As the first European team to win the treble twice, reporters in the mixed zone can't wait to run to the Real Madrid players.

Among them, the reporters surrounding Tang Zheng were the most, with long guns and short cannons.

Tang Zheng has won three Champions League titles since joining Real Madrid, plus one Champions League title during his time at Borussia Dortmund, a total of four Champions League titles, and is the most Champions League winner among active football players.

In addition, Tang Zheng is also the player who has won the treble the most times in European football history, a total of three times.

In this context, Tang Zheng's attention should not be underestimated.

In addition to holding high the emblem, flags and banners about Real Madrid, many Real Madrid fans at the Millennium Stadium held high the five-star red flag, and Real Madrid fans thanked Tang Zheng for his contribution to Real Madrid in this way.

Football has no borders, players have boundaries, but Tang Zheng's contribution is big enough that those Real Madrid fans fall in love with Tang Zheng's country.

The on-site director gave the fans in the stands a long shot, and the central 5 commentator He Wei sighed after seeing it: "Tang Zheng played well as always, leading Real Madrid to win the 2016-2017 Champions League championship, the Real Madrid fans on the field are grateful to Tang Zheng, Cardiff Millennium Stadium is not only white, but also red, this is a different red that Tang Zheng brought us!"

At the same time, Tang Zheng, who was interviewed by the media, walked to the sidelines, took the five-star red flag thrown down by the fans, and then draped it over his shoulders.

The overall strength of Chinese football has improved significantly with the rise of Tang Zheng, but it is still far from enough for the progressive Chinese football, and Chinese football still needs more exposure.

The influence of idols cannot be seen or touched, but they can have a positive impact on the growth of the younger generation.

If more young people want to join the sport of football in China, Tang Zheng, as a national idol star, needs to come up with more and better results.

Tang Zheng, wearing the five-star red flag, has become a beautiful scenery of Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, in addition to the central 5 commentator He Wei praised Tang Zheng, PPTV Zhan Jun, New Wolf Sports Huang Jianxiang and other well-known domestic football commentators are also full of praise for Tang Zheng, and they can't wait to give all the praise to Tang Zheng.

No matter from which point of view, Tang Zheng's performance in the 2016-2017 season was perfect!

Otherwise, how could Real Madrid win the treble again after the 2014-2015 season?

"Whoa—"

The most frenzied moment of the stadium was when Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos held aloft the Champions League trophy, and the Real Madrid fans hysterically created a deafening huge chant, which resounded throughout the stadium.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei shouted while displaying "2016-2017 UEFA Champions League Champion - Real Madrid" in the middle of the broadcast screen: "Congratulations again to Real Madrid! Congratulations to Tang Zheng! The 2016-2017 Champions League champion belongs to Real Madrid! The twelfth Champions League champion in team history!"

The white confetti rose into the sky, and then slowly fell down, which was extremely visually impactful, making the fans at the scene burst into even louder cheers.

The end of the 2016-2017 season was a fantastic season for Real Madrid, especially for Tang Zheng.

He led Real Madrid to win the treble on the football field, and he was upgraded to become a father in life, which can be described as a double harvest for his career and family.

The whole Real Madrid team took a flight back to Madrid the next day for a fantastic season and the club had a detailed plan to celebrate.

Of course, it's not much different from the celebrations of the past, first in a double-decker open-top bus to the Harvest Goddess Square, and then at the City Hall to announce to the world that Real Madrid is the best team in the world.

In the past season, Real Madrid has indeed been the strongest team in the world, so except for the dissatisfaction of the local media in Catalonia, most of the media have praised Real Madrid in the past season.

At the end of the season's treble celebration, the whole Real Madrid team was disbanded on the spot, and most of the players chose to bring their wives and families to the resort for a holiday at this time.

Real Madrid's success in the past season is closely related to the hard work of the players.

There is no such thing as a world in which nothing is unearned, and winning the championship requires effort that others can't see, so you should treat yourself well during the rare vacation.

Tang Zheng didn't have time to run around the world, his wife Zhao Lina had just given birth to a princess for him, and he had to accompany Zhao Lina well and thank her for her silent dedication.

It wasn't until July that Tang Zheng returned to Shanghai from Madrid with his family.

It is worth mentioning that in order to celebrate the birth of his daughter, Tang Zheng specially ordered a private jet from Cessna, which is Cessna's new Cessna-Citation-Longitude, which was put on the market at the beginning of this year, and costs 21 million pounds.

It has a maximum range of 3,500 nautical miles and a top speed of 548 miles per hour, which is about 881.9 km/h.

Tang Zheng, as China's number one sports star, has received a lot of attention, and Tang Zheng, who just won the Triple Crown, bought a plane when he was upgraded to become a father, which naturally attracted the attention of the domestic media, thus attracting national attention.

But it's no surprise that international superstars are buying private jets, as they are nothing new.

After all, Tang Zheng can get an annual salary of 24 million euros after tax in Real Madrid, plus bonuses, sponsors and other income, the annual income is close to 100 million euros.

You must know that this income is after-tax income and not pre-tax income, so there is no problem for Tang Zheng to spend 21 million pounds on a private jet.

In addition, throughout the year, the media broke the news that Tang Zheng and Flamini invested in the original GF company, which attracted the attention of fans around the world, because the market value of this GFT company with Tang Zheng's funds is now as high as 30 billion pounds, and Tang Zheng, who owns 30% of the shares, is equivalent to 10 billion pounds.

Isn't 21 million pounds just a sprinkling?

※※※

The holiday is a tribute to the efforts of the Real Madrid players in the past season, but Tang Zheng does not have much time to go on vacation, as a father, he has to seize the time to take care of his daughter Tang Qingqing and make love to his daughter.

Because once the 2017-2018 season begins, Tang Zheng doesn't have so much time to spend on his daughter.

Meanwhile, the European transfer market is in full swing and Paris Saint-Germain are turning their attention to Brazil international Neymar after a fruitless bid to buy Tang Zheng.

It is worth mentioning that Paris Saint-Germain did not pay Barcelona a termination fee directly, but paid an unusually high endorsement fee through Neymar's endorsement, and then Neymar's legal counsel paid a release fee of 222 million euros to terminate Neymar's contract with Barcelona.

But no matter what, Neymar has set the highest transfer fee in world football.

The original highest transfer fee in world football was set by Tang Zheng, who moved to Real Madrid in the summer of 2013 for a total value of 1.25 euros.

Neymar's transfer fee exceeds Tang Zheng's by nearly 100 million euros, but everyone knows that Neymar's value is far less than Tang Zheng's.

Tang Zheng led Real Madrid to the treble with Cristiano Ronaldo's transfer to Manchester United, but what about Neymar?

He and Messi and Suarez have never been able to threaten Real Madrid led by Tang Zheng, and even failed in all competitions, although it cannot be said that Tang Zheng's personal ability exceeds the MSN combination, but Tang Zheng's role in a team is stronger than Neymar.

Many media said that Neymar was worth 222 million euros, so Tang Zheng was worth at least 500 million euros.

Neymar's payment of the release fee brought a very high budget to Barcelona, Guangzhou Evergrande player Paulinho, who has been with Barcelona for a long time, transferred for 40 million euros, and Dembele, a 20-year-old player who plays for Dortmund, became a stand-in for Neymar for 105 million euros and joined Barcelona.

In addition, Barcelona also took a fancy to Coutinho, a Brazilian international who played for Liverpool, but Klopp, the head coach of Liverpool, was very resolute and did not agree to the transfer application of Coutinho, who had just completed the renewal of his contract with the club, and even issued a ban from the team.

Lu Liang, who has gradually become the star of Dortmund, also chose to leave Westphasco Lun this summer, and he moved to Liverpool for 40 million euros with the last year of his contract with the team.

In the summer of 2017, in addition to Lu Liang, Zhang Linpeng, who played for Porto, transferred to Juventus for 30 million euros to make up for the vacancy caused by Alves' free transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.

Wu Sanshi, who plays for Zurich, moved to Roma for 10 million euros to fill the vacancy caused by Salah's arrival in Roma.

Although Neymar left Barcelona, Dembele joined strongly, and Sun Jingbo, who returned to Barcelona last season, realized that there was still no place for him in the new season, so he chose to transfer to AC Milan permanently.

In addition to this, there are other European league transfers that are eye-catching.

For example, in the English Premier League, Manchester City has become the focus of media and fans.

Alvaro Morata, who did not have a regular chance to play at Real Madrid, transferred to Chelsea for 65 million euros, and Belgium international Lukaku transferred from Everton to Manchester United for 75 million pounds, but Manchester United got Lukaku as he wished, and Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney joined Everton for free, which means that the actual transfer amount of Lukaku's transfer to Manchester United is more than 75 million pounds.

Benfica centre-back Victor Lindelof moved to Manchester United for £31 million, while goalkeeper Ederson joined Manchester City for £35 million.

Manchester City were joined by Monaco players Bernardo Silva and Edouard Mendy, who joined for £96 million.

As with the high spending of the past few seasons, Manchester City also bought England international Kyle I Walker from Tottenham for £46 million.

Before the start of the 2017-2018 season, Manchester City had spent more than £200 million on reinforcements.

I have to say that Manchester City owner Sumaner is an out-and-out tyrant, the kind of trench inhumane.

Real Madrid, which Tang Zheng is watching, has seen a significant drop in spending, spending just £46 million to buy Dani Ceballos and Theo Hernandez from Real Betis and Atletico Madrid respectively after peddling players such as Alvaro Morata and Danilo.

Compared with Barcelona, which invested close to 200 million euros, Real Madrid's investment is far from enough.

However, Real Madrid's squad is stable, and the attacking line led by Tang Zheng, Bale, Benzema, and James Rodriguez is enough to knock on the door of any team.

In other words, as long as Tang Zheng is still in Real Madrid, Real Madrid can still notify European football.

Sure enough!

As many media speculated, even if the major giants spent huge sums of money to bring in a large number of powerful players in the summer of 2017, Real Madrid can still thrive in the 2017-2018 season.

In the European Super Cup and the Spanish Super Cup, Real Madrid both ended in victory, winning the two titles before the start of the season without blood.

Combined with the league titles, Copa del Rey and Champions League in 2016-2017, Real Madrid have won six titles in the entire 2017 calendar year, and a Club World Cup in the UAE at the end of the year would mean that Real Madrid will become the second team to do so after Barcelona won the six crowns in 2009.

Real Madrid, who won two Super Cup titles before the season, has no pride, and under the leadership of Tang Zheng, they have played very smoothly in all competitions.

The league tops the table, the Champions League group stage finishes first, and the Copa del Rey is on a high note.

Barcelona, who have invested heavily this summer, have been vulnerable to Real Madrid, so much so that a large number of Barcelona fans have questioned José Maria Bartomu's buying and the coaching ability of new manager Valverde.

Before the Real Madrid team left for the United Arab Emirates, France Football revealed the winner of the 2017 Ballon d'Or.

In fact, this glory has long been out of suspense, because no one has performed more dazzlingly than Tang Zheng in the whole 2017, so Tang Zheng deservedly became the second Golden Globe winner since the Golden Globe Awards.

This honor is also the first Golden Globe Award in Tang Zheng's personal glory history, so Tang Zheng, who won the trophy, was particularly excited.

After all, it was his first time.

In the Club World Cup before the winter break, Real Madrid defeated the host teams Abu Dhabi Peninsula and Gremio to win the 2017 Club World Cup, and Tang Zheng was once again voted the best player in the Club World Cup.

With the Club World Cup victory, Real Madrid also became the second team to win the six crowns.
