Chapter 100: Bayern nemesis

Tang Zheng's imposing seven-mile solo goal basically set the tone for Real Madrid's victory, while Barcelona, which was behind the score, was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and the star Messi was not in shape.

Other players were also affected as a whole, struggling to pose a threat to the Real Madrid defence in attack, until Alexis Sanchez came off the bench.

But Sanchez's enthusiasm didn't drive the whole team, and his efforts were more like useless work.

Therefore, until the referee on duty Laos blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score remained at 2:1, and Real Madrid, who was drawn to the home court, was in front and Barcelona was in the back.

The most frenetic moment in the Mestalla stadium was when captain Casillas lifted the trophy, and the Real Madrid fans shouted "e-Are-The-Champions!!" along with the broadcast of "We Are the Champions!!"

When the championship members held high the trophy in the stadium afterwards, Tang Zheng was the first to take over the Copa del Rey trophy in the hands of captain Casillas, because he deserved it, and it can even be said that without Tang Zheng's amazing performance, there would be no Copa del Rey championship for Real Madrid.

Chinese fans sitting in front of their televisions or computers are particularly proud, and many of them even think of the World Cup in Brazil this summer under the description of commentator Liu Jianhong......

In addition to Tang Zheng's outstanding performance, the current Chinese players also have Schalke 04 Artemisia Junmin, Dortmund Lu Liang and Yan Junling, Porto Zhang Linpeng, Basel Wu Sanshi and other outstanding players, this year's Brazil World Cup can find a sense of existence.

The next day, all the mainstream media coverage in Europe revolved around the 2013-2014 Copa del Rey final that ended last night at the Mestalla Stadium.

Tang Zheng's goal of walking a thousand miles has become the headline of all media, and it has long become a hot broadcast on the Internet.

In this goal, speed, physical confrontation, shooting skills and the rational use of sideline factors have become the hot spots of discussion among the majority of fans, among which the rational use of sideline props has become the object of ridicule by fans.

Even many fans ridiculed whether Tang Zheng should compensate for the loss of the Mestalla Stadium billboard, but the official Twitter of Real Madrid Club responded as soon as possible, no matter how much compensation is paid, Real Madrid will compensate according to the price.

Of course, the official Spanish Football Federation also responded in a timely manner, saying that the relevant problems do not require Real Madrid Club to bear the consumables for billboards.

However, it has still become a key ridicule place for fans, after all, a game can break an aluminum alloy billboard, and the power will definitely not be small.

In particular, Tang Zheng is more than 1.9 meters tall, and he can coordinate so well in terms of strength, speed, flexibility and agility, so it is inevitable that he will be called "The Mysterious Monster from the East" by European fans.

For this kind of praise full of praise, Tang Zheng never felt uncomfortable, on the contrary, he enjoyed it very much.

Real Madrid, who won the Copa del Rey, did not make the bus parade at Madrid City Hall in the first place, because of the next two legs of the Champions League semi-finals and the league mission.

Whether it is the league or the Champions League semi-finals, Real Madrid can not make any mistakes, the Copa del Rey champion can only be said to get the first perfect score in the final exam, whether they can get all the full points depends on what kind of performance the rest of the games show.

However, the rest of the schedule is relatively easy for Real Madrid, the Spanish Football Federation has learned from the 2011-2012 La Liga team's defeat in the Champions League, and has compromised on the league schedule, with Real Madrid and Barcelona postponing the 34th round of the league after the Copa del Rey final, which means that Real Madrid have plenty of time to prepare for the first leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League semi-final at the Bernabeu Stadium in the middle of next week.

There was a certain element of luck in Real Madrid's ability to qualify for the final of the Champions League last season, losing 4-1 to Bayern Munich in the first leg, beating Bayern Munich 3-0 at home, and then advancing to the Champions League final with more away goals.

After a year, the two teams meet again in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and it will definitely be a Mars collision with the Earth.

In addition, Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola used to be the head coach of Barcelona and was the core figure who dominated the Universe team to comprehensively suppress Real Madrid, and Tang Zheng also had the title of "Bayern nemesis" during his time at Dortmund, so the two-legged Champions League semifinals are full of highlights.

However, there is a very serious problem in front of Real Madrid, that is, the 33rd round of the league between Real Madrid and Barcelona has been postponed, but the league of the top team Atletico Madrid has not been postponed, which means that once Atletico Madrid wins in the league, then they will be as many as seven points ahead of Real Madrid in the first round.

Atletico Madrid, who host Elche at the Stadio Calderón, were unaffected by the upcoming Champions League semi-finals, beating their opponents 2-0 to give them a whopping seven points ahead of Real Madrid in the first round.

If seven points are placed at the beginning of the season or in the middle of the season, there is still a high chance of equalising, but Atletico Madrid has four games left in the league and Real Madrid five, even if Real Madrid and Valladolid win the rematch will only reduce the points to four points at best.

There are four rounds left in the league, how to catch up?

I have to say that Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have a dominant relationship between the league wins and losses, so the current Real Madrid coach Ancelotti has a headache and doesn't know whether the preparation center should be divided into the league.

The Champions League is obviously much more important than the league.

※※※

Since the Champions League is so much more important than the league, Carlo Ancelotti simply put the league on hold for the time being, and Atletico are already seven points ahead anyway, and the first leg of the Champions League semi-final is looming, which means that he has no choice but to focus on the first leg of the Champions League semi-final at the Bernabeu Stadium in the middle of next week.

Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have the same focus on preparation, because the season started very smoothly, and the two key national derbies did not suffer, so Bayern Munich established an early lead in the case of their own stable performance and Dortmund's key game lost the chain.

By the end of the league, Bayern Munich had won the league five games ahead of schedule, so they had plenty of time to prepare for the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid, home and away.

Since the 2009-2010 season, Bayern Munich has been eliminated from the Champions League in the 2010-2011 season, and the Champions League in the 2009-2010, 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 seasons have entered at least the semi-finals, of which the 2009-2010 season and the 2011-2012 season are the final Champions League final.

It can be seen that Bayern Munich's team is very dominant in the Champions League.

Real Madrid have only been free from the title of Champions League sixteen since Jose Mourinho took charge, so from the start of the 2010-2011 season to this season, the Champions League reached at least the last four, and last season also reached the final.

If it weren't for Tang Zheng's performance being too demonic, Real Madrid would have won the tenth Champions League trophy in team history last season.

This season's Real Madrid has the strong addition of 2013 FIFA Ballon d'Or winner Tang Zheng, and the overall strength has risen to a new level, as evidenced by the just-concluded Copa del Rey final.

Tang Zheng, who joined Real Madrid, has a very proud record against Bayern Munich, scoring 16 goals in 13 games.

In Tang Zheng's match against Bayern Munich, Dortmund has never been defeated, with more wins and fewer draws, so Real Madrid fans are full of confidence in Real Madrid's Champions League journey this season.

Although Bayern fans are reluctant to face Tang Zheng, Pep Guardiola, who has coached Bayern this season, has given them enough confidence, as evidenced by the fact that they won the league six rounds in advance.

Moreover, Pep Guardiola, who has a unique view of Real Madrid during his tenure at Barcelona, may not be able to get a win at the Bernabeu.

The Bayern players preparing for the Champions League semi-final at the Bayern training base on Sebena Avenue are in high spirits, especially the four players of captain Lahm, Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery and goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Seeing that the players' motivation to train has greatly improved, manager Pep Guardiola is also full of confidence in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

Real Madrid is strong, Tang Zheng is in excellent form, according to the relevant information released by the Real Madrid club, Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to return in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, but Guardiola is not worried at all, because he believes that his Bayern Munich can finally beat Real Madrid.

Speaking to the media, Pep Guardiola was full of confidence: "Champions League semi-finals? Of course I have confidence! Beating Real Madrid is not only my goal, but also the goal of all the players, and let's not forget that we are already ahead of Real Madrid in the preparations, and last season's Champions League semi-final was just a surprise. ”

There are good media reporters talking about Tang Zheng, because not only is Bayern not beating Tang Zheng's team, but Guardiola also does not have Tang Zheng's team.

As for the 2011-2012 Champions League quarter-finals that beat Dortmund, the first leg was entirely due to Tang Zheng's suspension, so Dortmund, who visited Camp Nou in the second leg, almost had a chance to reverse and advance.

In this regard, Guardiola's facial expression has changed significantly, and he frowned and said: "The past game can only be used as a reference, it can never affect the next game!"

After that, Guardiola left early and rededicated himself to the team's tactical deployment.

It's not that Guardiola talks about Tang Zheng's change, but the media's reminder made him pay more attention to Tang Zheng's existence.

There are many 'weird' phenomena in world football, such as Bayern Munich never won against Borussia Dortmund from the beginning of the 2009-2010 season to the 2012-2013 season, and his Barcelona team did not beat Tang Zheng's Dortmund.

To put it bluntly, his team was completely defeated against Tang Zheng's Dortmund, and the two legs of the 2012-2013 Champions League semi-finals created the worst record in the history of FC Barcelona.

So...... Tang Zheng must exist among his key restricted personnel.

But then again, it's hard to completely limit a phenomenal superstar like Tang Zheng, so Guardiola hopes that the team's attack can play more tricks.

It's a bit difficult to win away from home, but it's realistic to try to score away goals.

At the same time, at the Valdebebas training base, the Real Madrid players preparing for the Champions League semi-finals are full of passion and enthusiasm.

In addition to winning the Copa del Rey, Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo, who missed the Copa del Rey final due to injury, have also returned to training.

If nothing else, they can make a timely comeback in time for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final at home to Bayern Munich.

※※※

The first leg of Real Madrid's Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich takes place at 8.45pm local time on April 23, the second Champions League matchday in midweek.

Before that, Atletico Madrid will take on Chelsea in Calderón.

On the morning of the first match day of the Champions League, the Bayern Munich team arrived at Madrid International Airport on a chartered flight.

The schedule is in accordance with international practice, with a short break followed by an acclimatization session at the Bernabeu Stadium, before manager Pep Guardiola took goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to the regular pre-match press conference.

Accompanying Carlo Ancelotti to the home team's regular pre-match press conference was Tang Zheng, who has a very deep relationship with Bayern Munich as Bayern's nemesis.

As long as fans who often watch football games know that Tang Zheng joined Bayern Munich for 15 million euros in the summer of 2009, but the final medical report made Bayern Munich return.

The discerning Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp personally persuaded Tang Zheng and his agent to join Dortmund at the airport, so he ...... Borussia Dortmund had the best years in their club history.

Bayern Munich, who missed Tang Zheng, began a dark time, and in the 2011-2012 season, it became the second Sanya King team in the Bundesliga.

Perhaps Sanya Wang will feel a little glory for Bayer Leverkusen in the 2001-2002 season, but Bayern Munich is the most influential team in Germany, and Sanya Wang can be said to be an unforgettable shame for them!

Media reporters are also very good at finding trouble, Tang Zheng cooperated with the interview in order to stabilize the morale of the army and stimulate the tacit understanding of Bayern players, so as to affect the mentality of Bayern players.

That evening, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti and Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola appeared at the Calderón Stadium to watch Atletico Madrid's Champions League semi-final against Chelsea in the repossession.

It's not that it's about to be in the future, but it's about to take a feel for the frenetic atmosphere of the Champions League semi-finals in advance.

However, the 90 minutes were rather dull, with Chelsea playing a defensive-oriented approach and Atletico at home being equally adept at defending, so the focus of the first leg was on defence.

In the end, the score of 0:0 continued until the end of the game.

However, many football experts have made relevant predictions before the start of the game, and the game is likely to be relatively boring, so many fans who watch the game are mentally prepared.

However, Tang Zheng still watched the end of the game from his home in Madrid, believing that his Real Madrid will finally qualify for the Champions League final, and it is necessary to pay attention to future opponents in the final.

Although the game process was relatively dull and boring, Tang Zheng understood the relevant tactical adjustments of Chelsea and Atletico Madrid from the game.

If he ends up in the Champions League final, he has a way to find holes in his defence.

The next day, with more than half a day to go before Real Madrid's Champions League semi-final at home to Bayern Munich, there were already many Real Madrid fans and Bayern fans in the square outside the Bernabeu Stadium to prepare for the next Champions League semi-final.

With an hour to go, the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium was already full, meaning that Real Madrid's first leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich was getting closer......
