Cristiano Ronaldo has been competing with Tang Zheng since Tang Zheng's transfer to Real Madrid, so he realized that Tang Zheng worked harder to practice free kicks and began to work hard to win against Tang Zheng.

There may be a gap in the field of talent, but hard work must not admit defeat.

As a result, Cristiano Ronaldo worked even harder to practice, and even Tang Zheng insisted on leaving the training ground.

The head coach's office in the Valdebebas office building is designed to see the first-team training ground, so that the manager can see the players in training at any time.

A short time later, as night fell, Carlo Ancelotti and his coaching staff finished their study of Levante, their opponent in the next round of the league, and prepared to leave work.

He subconsciously walked to the window, stretched, and looked naturally at the first-team training ground.

"Hey, isn't this Cristiano?" Ancelotti stiffened as he stretched his waist, and said unexpectedly, "Why haven't you left yet?"

Clement and Zinedine Zidane also stretched out to the window and looked at the first-team training ground, where a familiar figure was practicing free kick after free-kick.

Carlo Ancelotti looked down at the time displayed on his wrist, it was seven o'clock in the evening local time in Spain.

It stands to reason that Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo will not practice more than six o'clock in the past, why did Cristiano Ronaldo come to seven o'clock today and still haven't withdrawn?

At the first-team training ground, Cristiano Ronaldo kicked a direct free kick about 28 meters away from the goal into the theoretical corner of the left side of the goal, exhaled a breath, and muttered: "Finally completed the task of 100 direct free kicks into the theoretical dead corner." ”

At the same time, Ancelotti saw Cristiano Ronaldo packing up his things and walking towards the living building, and he also said to Clement and Zidane: "Paul, Zidan, we should also go, tomorrow's league can not afford to lose, we have to recuperate." ”

"Hmm. ”

Clement and Zidane each tapped their heads and followed Carlo Ancelotti out of the manager's office.

……

The highlight of the eighth round of the 2013-2014 La Liga season was played at the Municipal Stadium in Valencia, with Levante hosting Real Madrid.

Because Atletico Madrid and Barcelona won their games respectively, temporarily stretching the gap to eight points, if Real Madrid cannot beat Levante, who are temporarily unbeaten at home and have only conceded one goal, they will be further away from the first group.

The Real Madrid superstar also knew this, so the game put pressure on the home team Levante's backline at the beginning, but the Levante players sitting at the Municipal Stadium were mentally prepared, they knew that their ability could not be compared with the Real Madrid players, so they strictly implemented the defensive tactics of head coach Caparos and put a bus in front of the goal.

Levante's defensive thinking is very clear, that is, to base on the 30-meter defensive area and not allow Real Madrid's goalscorers to get any space.

The modern game of football, whether it is offensive or defensive, is all about space.

The attacker creates space and exploits space, and the defender occupies space and controls space.

Judging from the first ten minutes of the game, Levante, who was playing at home, did a good job.

In addition, David Navarro, who used to play for Valencia, is very protective of the defensive line, and he also knows how to take advantage of the impatience of Real Madrid players.

Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't find room for himself in Levante's solid defensive system, so he had to pull wide to catch the ball and try to create chances with his individual dribbling.

However, Levante coach Caparros had already made a detailed response strategy before the game to Cristiano Ronaldo's habit of receiving the ball on the side, so Cristiano Ronaldo's attack was repeatedly frustrated, and even had a verbal altercation with David Navarro, who was not very clean, after a breakthrough failed.

The referee saw that the two of them were forehead to forehead, like angry bulls, so he blew the whistle in his mouth as soon as possible to separate the two.

Considering that the game has been clean so far, the referee did not give a card, but each party gave a verbal warning.

As for the referee's decision, whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Navarro, they are not satisfied

Cristiano Ronaldo believes that Navarro's defensive actions are intended to cause additional damage and should be warned with a yellow card, while Navarro thinks that Cristiano Ronaldo's reaction is too exaggerated and deliberately provokes his own bad feelings.

Eventually, the two were pushed by their respective teammates and left the scene of the incident.

Despite this, Cristiano Ronaldo still had words in his mouth, clearly unhappy with Navarro's additional action just now.

Immediately, the live director gave a slow-motion playback.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei said solemnly: "David Navarro's action is indeed very bad, he did not close his leg after shoveling the football, and directly kicked Ronaldo's ankle, no wonder Ronaldo's reaction was so big." ”

Commentator Zhang Lu said: "David Navarro is notorious in La Liga, his style of play is tough, but sometimes he can't control his movements, I remember the second leg of the 2006-2007 Champions League 1/8 finals, Valencia eliminated Inter Milan in a group fight caused by his punch in the face, so Ronaldo and other Real Madrid players should control their emotions and not give the other party any chance to take advantage of it." ”

"Director Zhang is right, Real Madrid's overall strength is obviously more than two points higher than Levante, as long as the mentality of Real Madrid players is good, the attack will come naturally. He Wei watched the broadcast camera switch to Tang Zheng, and his voice changed: "Tang Zheng's ability to control his emotions is not bad, as Real Madrid has been violated by Levante players the most, he has always been able to keep a cool head, which is rare......"

The game passed quickly in He Wei and Zhang Lu's eloquent conversation, Real Madrid still controlled the rhythm of the game, but Levante's defense was very good, and the counterattack was also impressive, and the Portuguese star Simao, who had played for Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, fully showed his old and spicy characteristics.

Thankfully, goalkeeper Diego Lopes was in excellent form and saved the ball from Simão with a one-and-a-half-one chance.

Cristiano Ronaldo began to consciously hide after that verbal conflict with David Navarro, and he is not a tendon in his brain to grow into one of the best players in the world.

Recently, it has been in the media spotlight, and with the fact that there is no room for loss in this round of the league, Cristiano Ronaldo has chosen to keep a low profile.

But Levante, who was playing at home, had a unified tactical mind, and Cristiano Ronaldo didn't find even a single chance.

Tang Zheng controls the offensive rhythm of Real Madrid's midfield, but because he has not formed a tacit understanding with Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid's attack looks a little alternative and non-mainstream.

Therefore, when the whistle blew at the end of the first half, the score did not change in any way.

0：0

The close-ups of the live broadcast were given to the players on both sides one after another, and the Levante players sitting at home looked very satisfied, and the visiting Real Madrid players frowned.

Because Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, who played one game first, won the game respectively, if Real Madrid can't win this round, the points will be further stretched.

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti's expression is particularly obvious, his brows are tightly locked, and anyone with a little thinking ability can see that his mood is heavy.

The media said that it was difficult to be the head coach of Real Madrid, and Ancelotti only really felt the meaning after taking over Real Madrid.

Back in the away team's dressing room, the Real Madrid players were preoccupied and the atmosphere was depressed.

The temporary big score deficit almost crushed them.

The fifteen-minute break passed quickly, and in the second half, Real Madrid stepped up the ball from both flanks, allowing Tang Zheng, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema to get into the box more often.

Judging from the first two attacks, the effect is quite good.

Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo each grabbed a spot, but neither of them could pose any threat to Costa Rica international Keylor Navas in goal.

David Navarro, who has a lot of experience, even mocked Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, thanking them for helping his side clear the ball.

Tang Zheng was in a very positive state of mind and did not feel any anger because of David Navarro's sarcasm.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was upset, couldn't help it, and he pushed David Navarro with his chest.

And this scene happened to be caught by the referee on duty, Burgos, who thought that Cristiano Ronaldo's actions had provocative intentions, so he quickly ran to Cristiano Ronaldo and showed a yellow card.

Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to say something to referee Burgos, but was pushed away by Benzema to avoid him from being overly emotional.

"Woo woo"

At the same time, the Municipal Stadium erupted in huge boos to Cristiano Ronaldo.

The broadcast screen was aimed at Cristiano Ronaldo, and judging from his facial expression, he was very unhappy, and he instigated a mouthful of saliva in his mouth and spit on the grass fiercely.

David Navarro, who is notorious in La Liga and even in Europe, is keenly aware that Cristiano Ronaldo is a little over-emotional, so he grinned and had a plan in his mind.

※※※

Sixty minutes into the game, the score was still 0:0.

"Levante's home game against Real Madrid has half an hour left in regular time, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid won the first game, and the points are eight points apart, if Real Madrid can't beat Levante, then they will be further and further away from the top two in the league, Cristiano Ronaldo and Don are the key to Real Madrid's away points, I really hope they can put aside their prejudices on the field as soon as possible. ”

Garcia, a commentator on Spanish television channel five, said worriedly.

However, as soon as the words fell, Carvajal completed a quick cross from the right, and the football was cleared by central defender Rodas in front of the post, and the camera flicked away, and referee Burgos also walked back.

At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly fell to the ground, and the referee's whistle and the assistant referee were unmoved.

He jumped up angrily, holding his left eyebrow bone with his left hand, and seemed to see a faint trace of blood flowing out between his fingers, and then rushed towards the perpetrator, David Navarro.

David Navarro is running forward as if nothing happened, but he is actually paying attention to Cristiano Ronaldo's movements.

So the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing a victor-like smile, waiting for Cristiano Ronaldo's "revenge".

Just as Cristiano Ronaldo angrily pushed David Navarro halfway through, an 'uninvited guest' suddenly appeared next to him.

Tang Zheng pushed Cristiano Ronaldo away from the side, then put his hands behind his back, turned around and pressed his chest against David Navarro, and asked loudly, saliva foam splashed on David Navarro's face: "Everyone is an adult, can you decide the winner openly?"

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was suddenly pushed away by Tang Zheng, was obviously angry, but when he saw Tang Zheng loudly questioning David Navarro, he woke up instantly, and suddenly realized that he had almost fallen into David Navarro's trap.

David Navarro's brain is still playing the scene of Cristiano Ronaldo being sent off with two yellows and one red, but Tang Zheng, an uninvited guest, was very unhappy, especially Tang Zheng's subsequent foaming at the mouth, and his brain became uncontrollable.

David Navarro, who was bluffed by Tang Zheng and took two steps back, paused, naturally opened his arms to maintain his balance, and then pushed his head out.

This time it was Tang Zheng's turn to slightly curl up the corners of his mouth, and his body naturally covered his forehead and fell back exaggeratedly in the direction of David Navarro's force.

Tang Zheng pushed Cristiano Ronaldo's action very quickly, and the referee Burgos saw it, so he turned his head to look and saw Tang Zheng running in front of David Navarro and roaring angrily, and then David Navarro's forehead went up......

Immediately afterwards, the emotions of the players on both sides changed very obviously, and they quickly ran to the scene of the incident, for fear that their teammates would be bullied by the other party.

Referee Burgos is not particularly experienced in law enforcement, but he is very decisive on the spot, he quickly blew the whistle in his mouth, ran to David Navarro and showed a red card directly.

The second assistant referee was also quick to react and entered the field.

The Levante players were puzzled when they saw that the referee on duty Burgos directly gave David Navarro a red card, and they put aside Tang Zheng's previous disrespect for David Navarro and discussed with the referee.

The referee Burgos had a calm expression, shook his head again and again with a smile, and looked at the Levante players who kept talking.

Seeing the referee's reaction, the Levante players also realized that the penalty could not be changed and dispersed.

The fans at the scene didn't care, they hysterically created a huge boo and sent it to the referee: "Woo woo"

When the Levante players completely dispersed, referee Burgos took out two more cards from his trouser pocket, walked up to Tang Zheng, who was examined by the team doctor, and showed a yellow card, and then showed a red card.

"Oh-my-god!" said Andy Grey, the British Sky commentator, in surprise: "Don was also sent off with a red card. ”
