Chapter 120: Top of Europe! (End of Volume I)
Tang Zheng created a penalty, Cristiano Ronaldo hit the penalty, and the score became 3:1 for Real Madrid, and Real Madrid had already sealed the victory with three minutes left in extra time.
Atletico Madrid manager Simeone, who was previously scrappy, now looks extremely sluggish, and it is not difficult to see that he was devastated by Real Madrid's game-winning goal.
The same is true of the Atletico fans in the stands, their blank eyes can't help but feel distressed.
Although Real Madrid's penalty was scored by Cristiano Ronaldo, and he also scored his 16th goal of the season in the Champions League, the close-up shot given by the live director was Tang Zheng, who contributed the penalty.
Tang Zheng played in all competitions of Real Madrid's Champions League this season, and his contribution was amazing, with ten goals and fifteen assists.
How many goals have Real Madrid scored in the Champions League so far this season?
Forty-three goals!
Tang Zheng alone directly contributed 25 goals!
The direct contribution rate is as high as 58%!
You must know that it does not include those indirect assists and offensive planning, that is to say, Real Madrid this season has been able to get to this point, especially when Real Madrid is extremely far away from the Champions League championship, it was Tang Zheng who scored a goal, and Tang Zheng's role is extremely obvious.
What's more critical is that Tang Zheng's role is not only reflected in the offensive end, but also in the defensive end.
If there is full-game data now, Tang Zheng can at least rank in the top three in the game, not to mention contributing to the first place in the game on the defensive end.
For such a player, the total price of 125 million euros is not expensive at all!
Giving Tang Zheng a close-up shot when Real Madrid locked the win is nothing at all!
Immediately, the broadcast screen was given to Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored twice in this game.
Cristiano Ronaldo smiled and turned to hug his teammate.
Although both goals in this game were effortless, they tested the players' running ability and mental quality.
There is no doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo is completely clear!
"Whoa—"
Listening to the loud shouts that erupted from the Stadium of Light, Cristiano Ronaldo waved his arms excitedly.
The stadium is not the home of his parent club, Sporting Lisbon, but it is the city where his parent club is based, so the Stadium of Light, the venue for this season's Champions League final, is crowded with Sporting Lisbon fans.
In addition, the Stadium of Light is the place of Portugal, and Cristiano Ronaldo is the first star of Portugal, and the biggest contributor to the Portuguese national team's promotion to the World Cup in Brazil, so there are a large number of fans in the Stadium of Light.
If you listen closely, you can hear sporadic and neat shouts: "- Cristiano!!"
Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored two goals for Real Madrid, was clearly in a good mood as he waved to his country's fans in the area where the Portuguese flag was held high and thanked them for cheering them on.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was walking towards his own half, stretched out his right hand to Tang Zheng again: "Thank you very much, my good friend!"
Tang Zheng smiled and held Cristiano Ronaldo's right hand, patted his shoulder with his left hand and said, "This is a manifestation of your ability, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
Many commentators who saw this scene began to sigh that at the beginning of the 2013-2014 season, although Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo were not incompatible, at least they had no connection, so that Real Madrid lost too many points in the early stage of the league, otherwise Real Madrid is likely to win the treble this season!
The score has become 3:1, with less than three minutes left in extra time, it is difficult to equalize with the current psychological condition and physical fitness of the Atletico Madrid players, so there is no suspense for Real Madrid to win the double this season.
※※※
The game restarted, and the Atletico Madrid players who had the advantage of kicking off did not have the slightest fighting spirit, and the football was cut off by the Real Madrid players after a few passes.
Fortunately, the Real Madrid players who are leading by two goals have no desire to attack, after all, everyone is the same city, and there is no need to rush to kill them all, and the two-goal advantage can already determine the final Champions League champion.
Atletico manager Simeone was still squatting on the grass, pursed his lips and looking at the pitch, but he didn't know what he was thinking......
Not far away, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was in a very good mood, he thought his team would miss out on the league title, but Tang Zheng scored the equaliser late in injury time, and then set up Cristiano Ronaldo to score twice to seal the win.
Although he was still mechanically teaching chewing gum in his mouth, he could see that he was in a very good mood.
The third Champions League trophy of his coaching career is coming!
Real Madrid's substitutes were shoulder-to-shoulder, and compared to the anxiety of stoppage time at the end of regular time, the mood was simply incomparable, and they jumped on the spot, waiting for the referee on duty to blow the whistle for the end of the game, and then rushed to the pitch to share the rare victory with the players on the field!
The Real Madrid fans in the stands were in a good mood, they were like the Real Madrid substitutes in front of the away team's bench, shoulder to shoulder, regardless of whether the people next to them recognized them or not, and then jumped on the spot.
The live director is very sophisticated, giving Real Madrid fans the stands when the quality of the game is not good.
The picture shown on the broadcast screen is very visually impactful, and the Real Madrid fans jumping on their shoulders give people a sense of landslides and ground shaking, which is quite shocking.
The frenetic atmosphere of the Stadium of Light did not decrease with the passage of time, but became more and more frenetic, like boiling water.
"Beep~Beep~Beep~~"
Fifteen minutes into the second half of extra time, referee Kupels blew the whistle for the end of the game.
At the same time, Tang Zheng, who was still preparing to make a long pass, put down his right foot, then gently picked up the football with his toes, took a step forward with his left foot, picked up his heel with his right foot again, and kicked it heavily.
The soccer ball made a muffled sound and flew into the sky with force.
Tang Zheng, like other Real Madrid players, ignored the football, he raised his arms excitedly, waved a few hard, and then hugged his teammates Modric, Isco, Cristiano Ronaldo and others.
The Real Madrid players in front of the away team's bench spread their arms and swarmed up to enjoy the hard-won super comeback with their eleven teammates on the field!
Not many people paid attention to the Atletico players who were lying or sitting on the grass at the Stadium of Light, they were very disappointed, and this game was like a bolt from the blue for many of them.
At this time, Atletico Madrid manager Simeone stood up and walked to the pitch with a heavy heart.
Because he is the manager of the team, the soul of Atletico Madrid, even if the game is difficult to accept, he has his own responsibility.
Comfort the lost team members.
But Simeone met Ancelotti who came up to shake hands politely before he walked into the stadium, and Simeone, who was in a bad mood, did not forget the etiquette, but he was not in the mood to talk to Ancelotti, so he touched it and let it go, and then comforted the players.
Carlo Ancelotti didn't care, he could understand Simeone, wasn't that the 2004-2005 Champions League final?
They led by three goals in the first half, and in the second half, Liverpool scored three goals in nine minutes and lost on penalties.
That sense of loss, empathy.
※※※
Tang Zheng hugged his teammates one by one, including coaches Carlo Ancelotti, Clement and Zinedine Zidane.
Immediately, instead of thanking the fans with his teammates while the UEFA staff set up a simple podium, he went to his mentor Simeone.
Although Tang Zheng has not lost the Champions League, he can understand the bad mood of his mentor Simeone.
After soothing the players on the field, Simeone crossed his hands on his hips and faced the Atletico fans who refused to leave.
To be honest, he's sorry for this group of lovely fans.
At that time, there was not much regular game time left, and his flamboyant personality was fully revealed, fully inciting the excitement of the fans.
Outcome...... Tang Zheng scored a tie in the last minute of stoppage time and hit the ball with a blow.
There is no worse feeling than heaven and hell, and it is because of his instigation that these lovely Atletico players have experienced it.
At the moment when Simeone made up his mind, there was a hand in front of him.
Instinctively, he looked up.
It's the disciple he loves and hates, Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng looked at his teacher Simone's speechless and angry expression and suddenly grinned, and patted Simone's left shoulder with his left hand while stretching out his right hand: "Shake hands, teacher." ”
"Do you know that your smile is ugly?" Simeone rolled his eyes at Tang Zheng and said for a long time.
Having said that, Simone still stretched out his right hand and held Tang Zheng's outstretched right hand.
"Hey, hey. Tang Zheng hugged him and patted Simone's back with his left hand: "I'm sorry to make you sad again." ”
"Humph!" Simeone snorted: "This season will make you proud, and next season's Champions League winner will definitely be Atletico Madrid!"
"I believe in you!"
As soon as Tang Zheng's voice fell, he said playfully: "The premise is not to touch our Real Madrid." ”
“……”
It was indeed very gratifying to see his proud disciple Tang Zheng lead Real Madrid to win the Champions League, but the team that Real Madrid defeated was Atletico Madrid, which he coached, and he felt very uncomfortable, so he didn't have much heart to talk to Tang Zheng, so he sighed, patted Tang Zheng's shoulder with his left hand and said: "Let's talk about next season's things next season, and enjoy the hard-won victory and championship." ”
At the end, Simeone said in a graceful and aggravated tone: "Don, I'm very proud of digging you out in the first place!"
When Tang Zheng heard this, his smile stopped abruptly, and then he hugged his mentor Simone hard.
Then he stopped talking, and watched his mentor Simeone turn away.
※※※
As Simeone returned to the home team's coach's box, Tang Zheng also walked to the area where the Real Madrid fans were, walked to the stands of his parents and girlfriends, took over the five-star red flag that had been prepared, and draped the national flag behind him like other teammates.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Coentrão draped the Portuguese flag, and the local fans in the stands looked particularly excited, chanting wave after wave.
Marcelo and Casemiro draped the Brazilian flag, Luka Modric draped the Croatian flag, Carvajal and Ramos draped the Spanish flag, and Raphael Varane and Benzema draped the French flag......
In a short time, UEFA staff set up a simple winner's podium on the rostrum.
The live broadcast immediately sounded, and all the players of Atletico Madrid, the runner-up of the 2013-2014 Champions League, took the stage to accept the award.
Although the Atletico players were in a sad mood, there was no disrespect in front of the crowd, and they followed captain Gabi to the ladder to accept the silver medal award from UEFA President Michel Platini, as well as some encouraging polite words.
At the back of the line was the head coach Simeone, and UEFA President Michel Platini also deliberately put his arms around Simeone's neck and said a few words.
Apparently, Simeone was not in a good mood, and after a polite handshake with Platini, he followed the players in front of him back to the court from the other end with the silver medal in his right hand.
Immediately, the Real Madrid players took the stage in turn to receive the winner's medal.
The first to take the stage was coach Carlo Ancelotti, who led Real Madrid to the Champions League for the third time in his coaching career, and he became the second manager in the history of the Champions League to lead the team to three Champions League titles.
Before that, it was Liverpool's decorated manager Bob Paisley, who won the Champions League three times in five years.
However, Ancelotti is the first manager to lead the team to three Champions League titles since the Champions League was restructured, and he deserves everyone's respect.
It was followed by Spanish players such as Morata, Carvajal and Ilya Ramendi, and the Real Madrid twin signs of Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo naturally walked at the back of the team.
Tang Zheng won the final Champions League with the home team for two consecutive seasons, and he was also elected the best player of the game.
By the time Cristiano Ronaldo, who was at the rear, accepted the winner's medal, the Real Madrid fans at the Stadium of Light became more and more excited, and the atmosphere was extremely frenetic.
They know that the most exciting moment is coming!
UEFA President Michel Platini walked in front of the podium with two big ears of the Champions League trophy in his hands in front of the Real Madrid players.
Of course, the Real Madrid players are all players who have seen the wind and waves, and although they are looking forward to it, they are not particularly anxious.
"UEFA President Michel Platini is already holding the Champions League trophy, Real Madrid captain Casillas should vacate a place!" CCTV 5 commentator He Wei looked at Casillas in the broadcast screen and moved a position to the right side of the screen, and said with a smile: "He will take over the Champions League trophy in the hands of UEFA President Platini in the next few seconds! This is a long-lost trophy for Real Madrid fans! Eleven years! After eleven years!!"
Platini handed the Champions League trophy in his hand to Casillas, who forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and calmly stretched out a hand to accept the Champions League trophy.
Then, hold it high!
At the same time, the Champions League theme song "Champions-League" sounded on the radio at the Stadium of Light, and the paper spraying machines set up on both sides of the podium sprayed countless white confetti in the main color of Real Madrid's home jersey.
White confetti flutters in the wind, and the live broadcast is slowly pushed to the long shot.
One by one, the other Real Madrid players received the Champions League trophy and kissed excitedly.
At the bottom of the broadcast screen, there is a row of subtitles: 2013-2014 European Champions League Champion - Real Madrid!
