Real Madrid got off to a good start in the first round of La Liga in the 2013-2014 season, and they didn't have a Super Cup mission, so the second round of the league had to wait until next week, and coach Carlo Ancelotti gave the players a day off with a very human touch.

The team resumed training on Tuesday and Carlo Ancelotti's coaching staff was pleased that the players were in good spirits and had not been deterred by the day off.

According to the stadium administrator, Tang Zheng even took the initiative to come to the first-team training ground for additional training during yesterday's break.

However, Ancelotti is not surprised, because Tang Zheng has developed the habit of training since the beginning of his career, otherwise he would not have maintained such a good competitive condition in training and competitions.

Many players have been in good and bad shape, perhaps due to their emotional and physical condition, but more often than not, the body has not developed the habit of fighting continuously.

Like Tang Zheng, he is so diligent that he controls his physical condition to the extreme, so that he is in full shape in every training session and every game.

Cristiano Ronaldo is equally hardworking, and before Tang Zheng joined Real Madrid, he was the club's number one bargain.

Of course, this has something to do with Cristiano Ronaldo not knowing that Tang Zheng would be so diligent, otherwise he would have given up his vacation to practice.

At the end of the regular training session at the Valdebebas training base in the morning, assistant coach Clement announced the end of the morning's training and the players were free to move around as they pleased, but they had to return to the team at 3 p.m. to continue training and prepare for the weekend's league games.

Just as Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo turned to walk respectively, assistant coach Clement, who announced the end of the training session, stopped them separately.

The two looked at each other tacitly, and then looked at Clement in confusion.

Other Real Madrid players also looked at Clement curiously, concentrating, wanting to see if Clement had anything special to arrange for Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, after all, the two of them have been in the headlines a bit more times during this time.

Clement explained naturally, but told Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo to return to the living building and not leave in a hurry, and the head coach Ancelotti and Zidane had something to discuss.

The curious Real Madrid players tapped their heads and got a glimpse of what was going to happen next.

It has been more than half a month since the resumption of training, and Ancelotti and Zidane have not missed Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Tang Zheng has always been very talkative, and Zidane, who is in charge of communicating with him, has a deep understanding that the interview in the living building went smoothly.

Before leaving, Zidane suddenly remembered something, his right hand slapped his forehead sharply, and then turned his head and asked, "Regarding the penalty kick?"

However, what Zidane didn't expect was that Tang Zheng behaved very easily, completely unimagined tricky, and could even be said to be very cooperative.

"Penalty kick right?" Tang Zheng waved his hand and said indifferently: "This is dispensable for me." ”

"Why?" Zidane asked subconsciously.

"Hey. Tang Zheng grinned: "Penalties are too unchallenging for me. ”

After that, he mischievously gave Zidane a 'you know' look.

Where does Zidane, who has tasted the ups and downs of the world, not understand?

He understands it very well!

But he still rolled his eyes, Tang Zheng didn't ask for a penalty, it was because of his great confidence in his penalty level, after all, he had not missed a penalty so far in his career, and it was reasonable for him not to be challenging.

It's just that it sounds a little uncomfortable, especially if it reaches the ears of Cristiano Ronaldo.

At the appointed time, Zidane returned to the head coach's office in the office building.

Ancelotti frowned, leaned back in a luxurious chair, and tapped the tip of his right finger rhythmically on the top-of-the-line mahogany desk, looking unoptimistic.

Zidane sat across from Carlo Ancelotti and asked, "Carlo, what's going on over there with Cristiano?"

"There's good news, bad news. Ancelotti looked at Zidane with a complicated look, with a hint of depression and satisfaction in his eyes.

"Oh?"

"The good news is that Cristiano has no objection to him and Don taking turns taking the free-kick, it's okay to accept it, it's just ......" Ancelotti had some trouble with the take-off.

"That's good news, but what about the bad news?"

Zidane asked again.

'Cristiano was reluctant to concede on penalties. Ancelotti shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You also know that there are many places involved in the penalty taker. ”

"I thought something was going on. Zidane got up and patted Carlo Ancelotti on the shoulder: "Carlo, you don't have to worry about this. ”

"Why?" Ancelotti suddenly realized something.

So, Zidane simply elaborated Tang Zheng's meaning.

Ancelotti shook his head and smiled: "Don can see it." ”

There must be a reason for Ancelotti to say this, first of all, attacking players have goal bonuses in their contracts, but Cristiano Ronaldo does not have this in mind, but that penalties can make his goal tally even more.

Since his transfer to Real Madrid in the summer of 2009, he has only scored more goals than Messi in the 2010-2011 La Liga season, which has made him a little depressed.

Now Tang Zheng has no idea about the penalty penalty right, which can save a lot of time.

Before the start of the afternoon training session, Ancelotti called Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo aside and said a few words.

After a while, the players gradually noticed that Cristiano Ronaldo's attitude towards Tang Zheng had changed, from the previous very few passes to the current few passes.

Of course, this is not enough for the team.

The combined transfer value of the two is more than 200 million euros, which is a waste if they do not cooperate more.

Although the connection between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo has not yet reached the lowest limit in Ancelotti's heart, at least Cristiano Ronaldo took the initiative to pass the ball to Tang Zheng, which is also an improvement.

The league has only just begun, and the margin for error is high.

After all, there is still more than half a month to go in the first tough battle of the new season, and there is enough time to find a way to solve it.

During this time, in addition to covering the Spanish Super Cup between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, the Spanish media also focused on the Real Madrid dressing room.

The issue of Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo is not solved for a day, and the media will have endless news in a day.

※※※

Time flew by and the second round of the 2013-2014 La Liga season kicked off, with the Real Madrid team flying to Granada, the capital of the autonomous community of Andreusia in the southern tip of Spain, the day before the match.

Although Granada is the capital of the Autonomous Community of Andreusia, the most famous teams are the other two.

Sevilla and Real Betis.

In the history of Granada clubs, the best glory is only the La Liga victory, followed by the Copa del Rey runners-up.

Perhaps due to history, the club's results have been inconsistent, and they often take the elevator back and forth between La Liga and La B.

Real Madrid's away league game against Granada was the final game of the second round, with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid both on top of the eye before that.

Surprisingly, Barcelona, who beat Levante 7-0 at home in the first round, almost drew with Malaga away and finally won a valuable three points thanks to a world wave from full-back Adriano.

Last season's La Liga runners-up, Atletico Madrid, came as a surprise as they beat Rayo Vallecano, who had a 5-0 home win over Rayo Vallecano, in a show of their dominance for the La Liga title.

Real Madrid's league opponent Granada would have been normal, but Granada has a player who is Tang Zheng's long-lost friend.

Diego Bonanot.

Bonanot and Tang Zheng both debuted in River Plate, from the River Plate academy, and also had a deep friendship, but Bonanot, who was supposed to take off together, had a serious car accident in the year Tang Zheng and others left.

Although he returned to normal after a long period of recovery, there were some shadows in his heart, Tang Zheng represented Dortmund in the 2012-2013 Champions League season, and Bonanott was supposed to meet Bonanott's Malaga in Málaga, but Bonanott transferred to Granada during the winter break of that season, so he lost his first reunion after a long absence.

As the saying goes, good food is not afraid of being late.

On the eve of the warm-up at the Kamenez Stadium, which can accommodate 22,000 fans, Tang Zheng saw Bonanot, one of his friends, who was less than 1.7 meters tall, from a distance.

Seeing the familiar baby face, Tang Zheng opened his arms, hugged Bonanott with a smile, and said with a smile: "Dear Diego, I haven't seen you for a long time, I can't imagine that your handsomeness is still the same as it was back then." ”

"You guy. Bonanott rolled Tang Zheng's eyes, then stood on tiptoe and gave a warm hug.

Despite Bonanot's focus, he still only lies on his chest, so it feels a little weird.

Immediately, former Malaga player and current Real Madrid player Isco also gave Bonanotte a hug.

During the Malaga period, Isco had a good relationship with Bonanate, and Isco's good impression of Tang Zheng was not only excellent on the field, but also related to Bonanate's frequent anecdotes about Tang Zheng's anecdotes in River Plate.

The relationship off the field is very good, but no one will give them affection on the field.

Bonanot's small agility is the most relied on in Granada's attack, and Tang Zheng, as an important interception point in Real Madrid's front line, can be said to be ruthless to Bonanot.

So Bonanott played very uncomfortable, and Granada's overall attack was paralyzed.

Coupled with the obvious difference in strength between the two teams, even if Granada plays at home, it will not be able to prevent Real Madrid's terrorist attack quartet.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Angel Di Maria and Karim Benzema each scored a goal and Tang Zheng provided two assists to Real Madrid's bloodless win over Granada, just one goal behind Barcelona, who beat Malaga by one goal in this round of the league.

In the third round of the 2013-2014 La Liga season, Real Madrid hosted Athletic Bilbao, while Barcelona continued their road trip against Valencia and Atletico Madrid away against Real Sociedad.

Compared to Athletic Bilbao, which Real Madrid hosts, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will face significantly stronger opponents.

Valencia once had a glorious history in La Liga and the Champions League, and although it is no longer as brave as it once was, it is still a tough bone to gnaw.

The same can be said for Real Sociedad, with French striker Antoine Griezmann maturing and a Champions League place this season directly linked to his performances last season.

In the final round of the 2012-2013 La Liga season, Valencia was two points ahead of Real Sociedad in fourth place, and the visiting Valencia lost to Sevilla 3:4, and Real Sociedad overtook the points by virtue of Griezmann's only goal of the game, ranking fourth in the league.

Griezmann is also the fourth youngest player to complete 100 games in La Liga history.

Therefore, in the eyes of the mainstream media in Europe, Real Madrid, which spent a lot of money to introduce players this summer, is likely to rank first in the league on goal difference after the third round of the league!

However, there was also a draw for the 2013-2014 Champions League group.

Tang Zheng was also invited, as he was a strong contender for the 2012-2013 Champions League top scorer and best player.

Of course, there is basically no controversy about the best player in the Champions League, and Tang Zheng's performance in the 2012-2013 Champions League season is too amazing.

In addition to scoring a lot of goals, there are also a lot of assists.

Unlike previous years, the Champions League group draw was held after the UEFA Super Cup, but this year's draw was made first and then the UEFA Super Cup, because for the first time in 2013, the UEFA Super Cup was played not at the Stade Louis II in Monaco, but at the Eden Stadium in the Czech capital.

At nine o'clock in the morning of August 30, Tang Zheng and head coach Carlo Ancelotti, Cristiano Ronaldo, Casillas and other teammates flew to Monaco to participate in the 2013-2014 Champions League group draw ceremony.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Zheng saw many familiar faces in front of the red carpet outside the Grimalty Convention Center.

Seeing Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp, former teammates Lewandowski, Reus and Hummels from afar, they opened their arms and greeted them.

Now Tang Zheng's status in European and even world football is very high, so the focus of the world's major media reporters who pay attention to the 2013-2014 Champions League group draw is on Tang Zheng.

The flash kept flickering, so much so that Tang Zheng looked like he had been sprayed with white dye.

At 5:45 p.m., the draw for the 2013-2014 Champions League group and the award ceremony for Europe's best player kicked off at the Grimaldi Convention Centre in Monte Carlo.

BBC radio presenter Pedro Pinto and Miss Swiss Melanie Vignig were in charge of the ceremony, which began with the announcement of the candidates for last season's Champions League Player of the Year, with Tang Zheng, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi being the three highest-ranked candidates, but the final order had to be voted on the spot.

Immediately, the live screen reviewed the highlights of the 2012-2013 Champions League season.

Tang Zheng appears in close-ups a lot of times, so even if he is only one of the best players in Europe, the chances of winning the final selection are very high.

At the end of the short film screening, McNeil, who once led Celtic in the Soviet Super League to win the Champions League trophy, entered the draw as one of the lottery guests with the Champions League trophy in hand.

Portuguese legend Figo was another guest in the draw as the ambassador of the Stadium of Light, the venue of the 2013-2014 Champions League final.

In addition, there are Dutch legend Cruyff, former England international Owen, Dortmund legend Sosa, and the host is still UEFA Secretary General Gianni Infantino.
