Chapter 095: New Real Madrid

Euro 2016 in France came to its height, with Antoine Griezmann's host France and Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal preparing for the final of Euro 15 at the Stade de France.

However, the Portuguese national team led by Cristiano Ronaldo is not the top in Europe, not even first-class, Portugal can only be regarded as second-rate in Europe, but being able to qualify for the final of the European Championship also proves their strength and luck.

Three games without a win in the group stage, and a 90-minute winless win before beating Wales in the semi-finals, so there are not many favorites to face the momentum of the hosts in the final.

Of course, it's just not optimistic.

There have been too many unpredictable results in the European Championship, the 1992 European Championship, the substitute Danish team in the finals created a Danish fairy tale, and the 2004 European Championship in Portugal The Greek national team created a Greek myth, so ...... Portugal are also hoping to win the European Championship by beating France at the Stade de France.

The Stade de France has a capacity of 80,000 fans, and France's entry into the European Championship final at its home stadium naturally attracted a large number of domestic fans to watch the final, so many people think that France at home will beat Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal under the roar of the home fans.

Not long after the start of the match, just eight minutes into the game, Payet was aggressively attacked, and Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't dodge, and his left knee hit Payet's right knee hard, and then fell to the ground in pain.

After a brief treatment, Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the field, but in the 17th minute of the game he sat on the grass without confrontation, and when he returned to the field, he wrapped a thick bandage around his left knee and continued to play.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo, who played less than ten minutes, made a noisily index finger shake on the broadcast screen to signal that he could not continue the game.

Unlike the last two times, he angrily took off the captain's armband, threw it on the ground, and then hammered the ground, his eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and tears flowed on the field.

This...... It wasn't the first European Championship final of his career, but it was likely to be the last European Championship final of his career, so it was inevitable that he would lose control of his emotions if he couldn't hold on in such a crucial game.

Tang Zheng, who was sitting in the VIP seat watching the game, watched Cristiano Ronaldo being carried off the field on a stretcher, shook his head helplessly and sighed, feeling sorry for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Playing for the country is the most desirable game for every professional player with patriotic feelings, especially a game like the European Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo is Portugal's number one star and Portugal's battering ram and central point of attack.

His injury will undoubtedly bring great difficulties to the Portuguese national team.

At this point, the hanging hearts of the French fans in the stands fell, and in their opinion, Portugal without Cristiano Ronaldo was a beast without fangs, a lamb to the slaughter.

Many commentators on the scene also believe that Portugal, which is in the middle of the old and the new, lacks strong Mesozoic players, and it is difficult to beat the French team, which is getting better and better, at the home stadium of the French team.

However, there were many factors that made and broke the game, and Portugal coach Santos simply defended with Cristiano Ronaldo's injury and unable to hold on.

The defense won't win the game, but ...... You can not lose.

When the game entered overtime, the physical strength of both sides came to a critical point, and it was more about willpower......

Portugal defended with all their might, and France entered the half-time offensive drill, but the Portugal team that defended with all their strength performed very well, not at all as unbearable as the World Cup in Brazil two years ago, but became more and more courageous.

Until the end of the first half, the French team, which had the advantage of being at home, did not break the deadlock.

In the second half, the French team was on the offensive and Portugal had to continue to defend with all their might.

It's a pity that the French team has a far lead in the number of shots on goal but can't convert them into goals, and the fans at the scene are extremely worried.

As the game progressed into the 70th minute, France's fitness began to decline, and Portugal had a precious respite and threatened Lloris in goal, causing France to attack so recklessly.

The game comes to this stage, and if a goal happens, nine times out of ten it will be a stunner.

Even if France has the advantage of being at home, it will be difficult to equalize from behind, so they will have to play carefully.

So at the end of 90 minutes of regular time, the score did not change, and the two sides went into extra time.

No one expected that Portugal, who were not favored, would go to extra time when captain Cristiano Ronaldo was substituted due to injury, so many commentators on the scene changed their stance and thought that Portugal would be more united without Cristiano Ronaldo.

Perhaps together, the French miracle will happen.

Tang Zheng, who was sitting in the VIP seat, had a strange feeling that Portugal could beat the hosts France at the Stade de France......

In the third minute of the second half of extra time, striker Eder was attacking the left rib and dribbling horizontally, and suddenly pulled his foot and shot angrily about 30 meters from the goal, and the football quickly rolled against the turf to the bottom left corner of the goal.

France goalkeeper Lloris was somewhat disturbed in his vision, and by the time he was too late to fall to the ground, the ball slammed into the bottom left corner of the net......

"Whoa—"

The Stade de France resounded with the long-lost chant of Portuguese fans, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who had a thick bandage on his left knee, raised his arms excitedly and hugged his teammates on the bench.

If nothing else, Eder's goal is likely to bring a heavy trophy to the Portuguese national team!

There was still time left for the French team, but the long period of winning without scoring made the French players fall in physical fitness, and now they are suddenly behind the score and exhausted.

Portugal, who lead the scoreline, defended with all their might as they had plenty of room to maneuver and hold on for the remainder of the game to win their first European Championship title in their national team's history.

No matter how bad it is, you can enter the penalty shootout and make a final effort for the European Cup title.

However, the French team did not score until the English referee Clattenburg blew the whistle at the end of the game, and finally Portugal defeated the host France team with striker Eder's goal in the second half of extra time to win the first European Championship in the team's history.

※※※

The European Championship in France ended at the Stade de France, and the European transfer market is in full swing.

In addition, the change of the major coaches has also brought a huge effect.

Carlo Ancelotti, who was sacked by Real Madrid, became the head coach of Bayern Munich, former Bayern coach Pep Guardiola became the head coach of Manchester City, and former Chelsea head coach Jose Mourinho became the head coach of Manchester United......

In the summer of 2016, Real Madrid's movements in the European transfer market were still modest, but they were eye-catching.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who led Portugal to European Championship glory this summer, returned to Manchester United at the price of Bale's + €20 million in cash.

In addition, Real Madrid also bought back Morata for 30 million euros through a buyback clause to strengthen the attacking strength of the frontcourt.

After all, with the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, it is necessary to make certain adjustments to the team's offensive lineup.

Until the start of the training camp in the new season, Real Madrid did not have any new signings, but did a good job in slimming down, and Cheryshev, who led to Real Madrid's elimination in the Copa del Rey last season, returned to Villarreal for 7 million euros.

Melander was sold to Valencia for €1.5 million, Mayoral was loaned to Wolfsburg for free, and Abeloa's contract expired......

Real Madrid have four games to play before the new 2016-2017 season, three international Champions Cups in the United States, the last of which is a warm-up match against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in the summer of 2014 in connection with the signing of a contract signed by Tony Klos from Bayern Munich.

It is worth mentioning that with the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United, Tang Zheng has naturally become the first brother of Real Madrid, and his return to the Valdebebas training base feels very strange, because both the staff and his teammates have undergone a subtle change in their attitude towards him.

But Tang Zheng is still the same Tang Zheng, Zidane, who will be in charge of Real Madrid in the new season, has already prepared a tactic with Tang Zheng as the absolute core, so that the players can adapt as soon as possible, and then attack the champions of the 2016-2017 season!

Due to the fact that Real Madrid, which participated in the International Champions Cup, did not have a complete set of personnel, the results of the three games were not ideal, but the media and fans were very optimistic about Real Madrid's results in the 2016-2017 season.

Why?

There will be more changes in the tactics of Real Madrid in the new season!

The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo brought Real Madrid Bale and 20 million euros, Bale's skills are not particularly good at his feet, but he is extremely fast and a good player for quick counter-attacks.

In addition to the discord between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid's performance dropped significantly last season, and a certain reason was that the tactics were too fixed, lax, and lacked changes, especially when the two superstars had no intention of contacting.

With Bale, who led Wales to the semi-finals of the European Championship this summer, Real Madrid have improved dramatically in terms of quick counter-attacks.

Real Madrid in three international Champions Cups did not have good results, but the connection between Tang Zheng and Bale is eye-catching, and Real Madrid fans believe that with Bale's integration into Real Madrid's overall tactics, Real Madrid's results in the new season will definitely surprise people!

The first round of the 2016-2017 La Liga season kicked off at 3pm local time in Spain, and Real Madrid's first league game was against Real Sociedad, who were away to take on Real Sociedad.

Bale, who had previously shown an excellent understanding with Tang Zheng, shone in his first La Liga game, scoring two goals alone to help Real Madrid defeat Real Sociedad by three goals.

However, the most interesting thing in this game is Tang Zheng, whose one goal and two assists are the basis for Real Madrid's away win.

Real Madrid has lost Cristiano Ronaldo, Tang Zheng has become Real Madrid's well-deserved number one star and tactical core, and he has also shown corresponding performances to justify the world, he has enough ability to get everything he has now!

At the other end, Cristiano Ronaldo, who returned to Manchester United, also performed impressively in the number seven, scoring a hat-trick in the first round to help Manchester United beat Bournemouth 4-0 away and get the league off to a flying start.

The media has a very big brain, and in their opinion, Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo are competing in different leagues.

It's a bit of a pity that Manchester United missed the top four in the league in the 2015-2016 season and was unable to participate in the 2016-2017 Champions League, so the media and fans can't see Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo facing each other in the Champions League.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo certainly attract attention, but the summer transfer window at the end of the day is even more intriguing.

After three seasons, more than £100 million in transfers has reappeared.

Manchester United, who have already spent huge sums of money on Cristiano Ronaldo, Eric Bailly, Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic this summer, are once again in the media spotlight when they took Pogba from Juventus for £100 million.

Thus, a chain reaction occurred.

Juventus, who had a lot of money, spared no expense to buy Napoli's Argentine international Higuain, Pjanic from Roma for 32 million euros and Piazza for 23 million euros......

Tang Zheng's form in the first round of the league gave people a very reassuring feeling, he could attack and retreat.

In addition to the offense, it can directly help the team solve the offensive problem, and it can also solve the dilemma encountered on the defensive end when the team is defending.

Therefore, Real Madrid, which showed excellent form in the first round of the league, continued to the ninth round under the leadership of Tang Zheng, and won nine consecutive victories under the leadership of Tang Zheng, scoring an astonishing 33 goals and conceding only two goals, showing the state of the championship in the new season.

The same was true of the 2016-2017 Champions League group stage, with three consecutive wins and top of the group.

If nothing else, Real Madrid will once again top their group as head to the round of 16.

Such a suffocating Real Madrid can't help but remind people of the perverted Real Madrid that won the treble in the 2014-2015 season.

As it turned out, Real Madrid quickly returned to the top under the leadership of the twenty-seven-year-old Tang Zheng.

In the 12th round of the 2016-2017 La Liga Madrid derby and the 2016-2017 La Liga national derby, Real Madrid won the two direct encounters related to the championship, and they were won by visitors.

In the two games, Tang Zheng contributed three goals and two assists to help Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid and Barcelona 3:1 and 4:2 respectively.

Before the winter break, Real Madrid won 15 games and drew one in 16 league games with an astonishing result of 46 points, six points ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid and eight points ahead of third-placed Barcelona.

In the last three rounds of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid was distracted, with two wins and one draw, but this did not prevent them from advancing to the round of 16 of the Champions League as the group winner.

No one could have imagined that Real Madrid, who had no glory other than the Club World Cup last season, would return to the top in the 2016-2017 season, with 16 league games, six Champions League group stages and four Copa del Rey matches undefeated...... 8)
