1. In the 2013-2014 La Liga season, the 11th round of the focus of the battle was Real Madrid's home match against Sevilla, after 90 minutes of fierce battle, Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 7:3, showing a good competitive state.

Tang Zheng performed well, with two goals and three assists, and was the biggest contributor to Real Madrid's big win over Sevilla at home.

With a big win in this round of matches, Real Madrid re-tied Barcelona in points, overwhelmed Barcelona with a mutual win-loss relationship, and returned to the top of the league table.

However, Atletico Madrid then beat Granada 2-1 away to regain a one-point advantage back at the top of the league table.

Despite this, most of the world's sports media are quite optimistic about Tang Zheng's future FIFA Ballon d'Or winning prospects.

However, this period of fixtures is intensive, and the focus of the media has shifted as time has passed.

Just when everyone thought that a morale-boosting Real Madrid would have a back-to-back win in the November international break, Real Madrid suffered back-to-back away Waterloos.

They were held to a 2-2 draw away by Rayo Vallecano, followed by a 2-2 draw by Juventus in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage in midweek.

The league reverted back to third place with both Atletico Madrid and Barcelona winning, and the Champions League group standings remained unchanged and remained top of the group.

La Liga is a long season, and the national derby win over Barcelona has already taken many Real Madrid fans by surprise, so the occasional small rollover is allowed.

The Champions League group stage is different, and the slightest mistake will lead to an early exit.

For example, the situation of qualifying for Group B is confusing, in addition to Real Madrid finishing first in the group with ten points in four rounds, Galatasaray, Copenhagen and Juventus are all likely to compete for the remaining qualifying spot.

Originally, the Champions League group draw was drawn, and the media had already written a script for Group B to qualify, Real Madrid was first in the group, Juventus was second in the group, but Juventus, who forced the defending champion Chelsea to play in the Europa League in the Champions League last season, will not taste victory in the past four rounds of the group, only three points, and rank at the bottom of the group.

Of course, the Spanish and Chinese media did not pay attention to this, and they returned to the league with the end of the Champions League.

It is worth mentioning that Juventus star Paul Pogba has been shortlisted for the 2013 European Golden Boy Award, and Lu Liang, an 18-year-old Chinese rising star who returned to Dortmund this summer, is also in the squad, and is the youngest player on the shortlist.

The Chinese media is very concerned about the selection of the 2013 European Golden Boy Award, China's first star Tang Zheng once beat the long-established Pato to become the European Golden Boy Award in 2009, and now four years later, Lu Liang, who is also in Dortmund, can he replicate Tang Zheng's victory in the European Golden Boy Award?

Tang Zheng also followed the 2013 European Golden Boy Award list on the Internet, and he tweeted @Lu Liang to express his support for him, hoping that he would continue to work hard in future competitions and add points to the selection.

The players who drew away at Real Madrid returned to Madrid the following day to host Real Sociedad in the 13th round of the 2013-2014 La Liga season at home.

During the period of preparation, Tang Zheng worked very hard, and the training time after the training was significantly longer.

He rarely felt a lot of pressure during his time at Borussia Dortmund, but the pressure he felt in the last two months has increased significantly.

It was only at this time that Tang Zheng knew that the first necessary skill as a Real Madrid player was not on the field, but the ability to resist pressure.

Real Madrid have won six in a row in all competitions and then suffered two draws in a row, in fact, there is a certain reason for Tang Zheng's ups and downs, contributing six goals and six assists in the past league and Champions League.

This should have been a very dazzling statistic, but as a Real Madrid player, Tang Zheng was still found a place to be judged by the scathing media.

Six goals and six assists in the past six in all competitions are true, but the last two league games and the Champions League have only contributed one assist and no goals.

The media never follow your brightest stats, they tend to look for breakthroughs in your weaknesses.

One assist in two games is qualified by the standards of an average player, but as Real Madrid's number 10, it is far from enough.

So Tang Zheng took the initiative to practice after training, accompanied by Cristiano Ronaldo and Isco.

Cristiano Ronaldo's training history is still not surprising, but it is surprising that Isco has also joined the training lineup, which is somewhat surprising to the outside world.

In fact, Isco's reason for training is similar to Tang Zheng's, and his playing time has decreased significantly during this period.

The most important reason is that Di Maria is in very good form, and he has definitely been suppressed in his playing time as a new player who only joined this summer, and if he wants to increase his playing time, he must have the right attitude and actively practice.

Extra training may not directly increase the playing time of the game, but this behavior will bring attention and comfort to coach Carlo Ancelotti, and the line-up will definitely be tilted at that time.

Talent is important, but diligence is essential.

Ahead of Real Madrid's home game against Real Sociedad, Tang Zheng focused on a match in Guangzhou, China.

In the second leg of the 2013 AFC Champions League final, Guangzhou Evergrande hosted Seoul FC.

This game is considered by the Chinese and South Korean media to be the strongest glory in Asia, and Tang Zheng has perfectly suppressed the Korean players in the player's personal glory, so this AFC Champions League final has become a game that the Korean media believes cannot be lost again.

In the previous first leg of the game, Guangzhou Evergrande drew 2:2 with Seoul FC away, and Guangzhou Evergrande had a certain advantage when they returned to their home stadium, because they only needed to win a 0:0 or 1:1 to become the first Chinese Super League team to win the AFC Champions League since the Chinese Professional League with the advantage of more away goals.

The AFC Champions League final was played at 8 p.m. Beijing time on November 9, which is 2 p.m. local time in Spain.

Real Madrid's home match against Real Sociedad was at 11 p.m. Beijing time on November 9, which means that domestic fans can watch the AFC Champions League final and then watch Tang Zheng's La Liga.

Therefore, before the game, some Chinese fans said that this day would be their football feast.

Watch Guangzhou Evergrande beat Seoul FC to win the AFC Champions League, and then watch Tang Zheng lead Real Madrid to league victories, hot on the heels of Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

The second leg of the 2013 AFC Champions League final started at 8 o'clock on time, and Guangzhou Evergrande sat at the home Tianhe Sports Center to face Seoul FC of South Korea's K League.

Guangzhou Evergrande, coached by Lippi, chose to play steadily and wait for an opportunity to attack while defending solidly.

Of course, Guangzhou Evergrande, which is sitting at home, is not very passively beaten, Guangzhou Evergrande, which has Conca and Zheng Zhi, has a strong midfield control, and chooses to play steadily to avoid accidents, after all, a slight mistake in the final will be regretted for life.

The first half of the two sides ended 0:0, but after a fifteen-minute break at halftime, Guangzhou Evergrande took the lead in the second half, and foreign aid Elkeson received a pass from Muric and led the ball forward with the outside of his left foot.

Taking advantage of his speed, Eriksen slotted into the box at high speed, then fired a shot past Seoul FC goalkeeper Kim Yong.

Immediately, the entire Tianhe Sports Center fell into a state of madness.

However, the frenetic atmosphere at the Cheonhe Sports Complex lasted less than four minutes, and Dejan, who was also a foreign player, helped Seoul FC equalise.

Next, the game was particularly close in a frenzied atmosphere, and the Guangzhou Evergrande fans in the stands looked very nervous.

The two sides attacked and defended each other, and there were also opportunities to threaten the opponent's goal, but the final kick lacked some luck.

As soon as the three minutes of stoppage time arrived, the Asian golden whistle Ilmatov blew the whistle decisively, and Guangzhou Evergrande finally drew 1:1 at home to Seoul FC in 90 minutes of regular time, with an aggregate score of 3:3, but won the 2013 AFC Champions League with the advantage of more away goals.

Tang Zheng, who watched the second half of the AFC Champions League final with the 4G network, just arrived at the Bernabeu Stadium by team bus to make the final preparations for the league.

In the 13th round of the 2013-2014 La Liga season, in addition to Real Madrid's home match against Real Sociedad, Villarreal's home match against Atletico Madrid and Real Betis' home match against Barcelona, all of which attracted the attention of the Spanish media.

In the past 12 rounds of the league, the first and second groups have begun to become clear, with Atletico Madrid ranking first with 34 points from 11 wins and 1 loss, Barcelona ranking second with 31 points from 10 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and Real Madrid ranking third with 29 points from 9 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.

Villarreal, who hosted Atletico Madrid in this round, has seven wins, two draws and three losses, ranking fourth with 23 points, which is a key battle with a small gap in strength in this round.

Barcelona's road trip is a bit easier, as they face Real Betis who are currently third from bottom in the league and Real Madrid host Real Sociedad who are seventh in the league, but Real Sociedad are still not lacking in lethality, so the odds offered by the big three bookmakers in Europe are a bit skewed towards a draw.

Judging from the early stages of the game, Real Sociedad did have a certain amount of destructive ability, and if it weren't for goalkeeper Diego López's good form, French striker Antoine Griezmann would have had a good chance of breaking the deadlock.

Just when Real Madrid, which was playing at home, was playing relatively passively, Tang Zheng stood up.

In the face of recent media doubts, he handed over a perfect answer sheet!

In the 19th minute, he took advantage of a long-range shot to break the deadlock for Real Madrid.

Two minutes later, Isco, who had the assist to get the chance to start, doubled the score.

Just before half-time, he found Cristiano Ronaldo with an imaginative, wide-ranging through-ball from the right flank, who was so calm that he slotted home from the far corner.

When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, the scoreboard showed the score at 3-0 and Real Madrid took the lead.

In the second half, Tang Zheng focused more on defense, so there was nothing dazzling on the offensive end, but it was precisely because of his focus on defense that his teammates could pay more attention to attack.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane helped Real Madrid extend their lead to five goals, with the only minor blemish for the home fans was in stoppage time when French striker Antoine Griezmann took advantage of Ramos' lack of concentration to score a face-saving goal.

Real Madrid finally beat Real Sociedad 5-1 at home, and Tang Zheng, who was questioned by the media before the game, performed perfectly, with one goal and two assists.

In the two later games, Villarreal drew 1-1 at home to Atletico Madrid and Barcelona beat Real Betis 4-1 away, closing the gap on leaders Atletico Madrid on a three-game winning streak.

With Atletico Madrid's draw away at Villarreal, the race for top spot in La Liga in 2013-2014 has become even tighter.

Atletico Madrid topped the table with 35 points, followed by Barcelona with 34 points and Real Madrid in third place with 32 points.

The three teams in Group 2 of the league have not changed much in terms of points, which means that the gap between Group 1 and Group 2 is still significant, which means that this season's league title will be between Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and Real Madrid.

But with the end of this round of the league, the focus of the world's mainstream media began to shift to the continental play-offs of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

The focus of Asian media attention is naturally on the play-offs between South Korea and Uruguay, but except for the South Korean media, which remain optimistic about South Korea's entry into the World Cup in Brazil, other countries are not optimistic about South Korea's prospects of qualifying.

Let's not talk about the gap between Asian football and South American football, just looking at the comparison of player strength between the two teams can analyze a clue.

The Chinese team still has no international assignments in the last two international breaks of 2013, because the Chinese Football Association has parted ways with Spanish coach Camacho last month, and the new head coach is in full swing.

In addition, Guangzhou Evergrande, a major international player, has just participated in the AFC Champions League final, and the physical consumption is severe, so it is a very correct choice not to arrange international competition tasks.

In the two international breaks, Tang Zheng did not pay much attention to the play-offs, with the exception of South Korea and Uruguay, the European play-offs between the Portuguese national team led by club teammate Cristiano Ronaldo and the Swedish national team led by Ibrahimovic were the ones he focused on the most.

The South Korean team played in their favour and the fixtures were in their favour, but the result was a desperate departure for the Korean fans.

At the end of the ninety minutes, the scoreboard showed the score at 5:0.

The home team is in the front, the away team is in the back.

If nothing else, it's only a matter of time before South Korea is out.

In the other World Cup play-off, Portugal won the lead with a narrow 1-0 win over Sweden thanks to a goal from captain Cristiano Ronaldo.

The second leg at Sweden's home stadium was a solo show by Cristiano Ronaldo, who had seen hope of a comeback thanks to Zlatan Ibrahimovic's brace, but Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick and even the unbeatable Ibrahimovic applauded him.

At the end of the two international breaks, the dust has settled on the final seven places to qualify for the World Cup in Brazil, with France, Croatia, Portugal, Greece, Uruguay, Ghana and Mexico on the final train to the World Cup in Brazil.
