The 2014 European Golden Boy Award 40-man roster and the 2014 FIFA Golden Ball Award 23-man shortlist gave the Chinese media and fans the opportunity to raise their eyebrows again, so that the Japanese and South Korean media during this period were quite low-key, and the reports were also decent, and they did not dare to add any feelings.

Because during the period of Tang Zheng's rise, China's outstanding young players have sprung up like mushrooms, and the 2014 Golden Boy Award shortlist is very obvious, in addition to the hope star Lu Liang was shortlisted, and Sun Jingbo, who joined Celta Vigo on loan from Barcelona II this summer.

Although the 22-year-old South Korean phenom joined Bayer Leverkusen for a club-record €10 million last year, and scored 10 goals and four assists in the Bundesliga in the past 2013-2014 season, it is still far from Tang Zheng's series of records at Borussia Dortmund, and even less than the 19-year-old Lu Liang.

Where else is there to show off?

The Japanese media were no better, with Shinji Kagawa being squeezed out of place by Tang Zheng at Dortmund.

Keisuke Honda, another representative figure in Europe, has been plagued by injuries recently, and he is not a core player at AC Milan, so if he comes up with it, he will probably be laughed at by the media from China until his stomach hurts.

So at the end of October, the sports media and fans in South Korea and Japan were very depressed, and there was a feeling that they couldn't do it.

Closer to home, Real Madrid's season continues, with a total of six games in November, which doesn't look very dense and is spread out at a game every five days, but that's based on the absence of an international break.

Real Madrid's home game against Barakale on November 9 will enter the international break of about a week and a half, and under normal circumstances, the time between the end of the league and the second international break is about ten days, which means that Real Madrid will play six games in 20 days, plus Real Madrid's players are almost the main core level of each national team, which means that all two national team matches in the two international breaks will be participated.

Eight races a month, and a lot of hard work.

Especially for players like Tang Zheng, who need to fly half the world on international flights, it is even more difficult!

With only two months left before the 2015 Asian Cup in Australia, it is well known that there is no international break in December, which means that the two international breaks in November are the last training period for the Chinese team before the Asian Cup in Australia.

The 2015 Asian Cup in Australia is played in January, and January is the start of the second half of La Liga, which is very important for teams like Real Madrid, who are competing for the league title, because the Champions League will be back in action in February, and if you want to go on all three fronts, you must get as many points as possible in the league to ensure that you are fully prepared for the Champions League.

According to the relevant regulations of FIFA, Real Madrid has no right to prevent the Chinese team from recruiting Tang Zheng to participate in the Asian Cup, but Tang Zheng has a strong sense of responsibility and cannot ignore the interests of the club for the sake of the national team's competition, so he decided to do his best before the Asian Cup to help the club advance in the league as much as possible.

When I returned to China to prepare for the Asian Cup, the Club World Cup had just ended, and La Liga had also entered a short winter break, which had no impact, but Real Madrid had five league games in January, and according to the arrangement of past Copa del Rey matches, there may be two legs of the Copa del Rey 1/8 finals in between.

If the Chinese team can reach the final of the Asian Cup, Real Madrid will lose Tang Zheng seven games!

Tang Zheng, who has a wide view of the court, is also forward-looking in life, and he began to shine in the early November game.

In the away game against Granada, he contributed two goals and two assists to help Real Madrid beat the home team 4:0, and in the group stage of the Champions League at home in midweek, it was Tang Zheng's world wave goal that broke through Mignolet's goal, and Real Madrid finally won 1:0 at home with Tang Zheng's world wave and won the group ahead of schedule with four consecutive wins.

Due to Basel's draw with Ludogoredes in the fourth round, both sides are second and third in the group with only four points from four games, and Liverpool is at the bottom of the group with only three points from four games, which means that Real Madrid has won the group two rounds in advance, and the remaining two rounds of the Champions League group stage can be used as a training game for substitutes and young players.

Before the start of the international break, Real Madrid hosted Barakale, and Tang Zheng once again showed an amazing competitive state, helping Real Madrid defeat the opponent 5:1 at home, and the Butterfly won 14 consecutive victories in all competitions.

It is worth mentioning that Barcelona lost 1:4 to Real Madrid and then lost 0:1 to Celta at home, and the player who helped Celta score the only goal of the game was Sun Jingbo, a Chinese international who joined Celta on loan from Barcelona II this summer.

Real Madrid themselves topped the league table by one point ahead of Barcelona, and with Barcelona dropping points and Real Madrid scoring, the difference between them widened to four points.

It's a pity that Tang Zheng's winning streak was accompanied by Barcelona to stop the losing streak and follow closely in points.

When the international break came, Tang Zheng took a flight back to China to prepare for the international A-level friendly match before the Asian Cup.

This time, the Chinese team's warm-up opponent was not strong, it was neighboring North Korea, and head coach Lippi took into account the tacit understanding between himself and Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti, and this friendly match did not give Tang Zheng much playing time, only about 20 minutes.

Because in Lippi's view, as long as the Chinese team has Tang Zheng to press the lineup, it will be the strongest time, and Tang Zheng will also adjust to the best state.

The 2015 Australian Asian Cup is the 16th Asian Cup of the AFC, from January 9 to 31 in five stadiums in five cities in Australia, the 2014 season of the Chinese Super League ended in early November, domestic players have a longer run-in, the winter break of the European League is basically before Christmas, just about half a month from the opening of the Asian Cup, but fortunately, the Chinese team currently has no players to play in the Premier League, otherwise it is a problem to call up players to participate in the Asian Cup.

Of course, the pressure on the other four major leagues in Europe is also not small, but the clubs in these leagues have no choice, after all, the relevant FIFA regulations are written in black and white, and if you don't agree, you have to agree.

Despite this, the time for players to get together with the team is always limited, and Christmas is only half a month away from the start of the Asian Cup.

But these are the problems that any Asian national team with players in Europe will have to face, and Lippi is not worried about this, because he has the most trusted Tang Zheng, who can directly meet the national team after playing two Club World Cup games in Morocco before Christmas, and enter the preparation for the Asian Cup.

In fact, Tang Zheng has not been running in with the national team for a long time in this year's World Cup in Brazil, but he can quickly integrate into the national team, so Lippi is thinking that China has the absolute strength to impact the Asian Cup championship in Australia next year.

After only one international match scheduled for the last two international breaks of 2014, Tang Zheng took a flight back to Madrid that evening to prepare for the twelfth round of the 2014-2015 La Liga season, where he was visiting promoted Mayiba.

In fact, before Real Madrid prepared for the Club World Cup, Real Madrid encountered no strong opponents, but in early December, Real Madrid's match against Celta at the Bernabeu attracted the attention of domestic media, because Tang Zheng will play the first Chinese derby in La Liga history with Sun Jingbo.

Promoted Hipbar had limited strength, and even at home, the Real Madrid players experienced the blind competition of the international break, but they were superior in quality and won the game thanks to two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and James Rodriguez.

Next is the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, because Real Madrid has won the group ahead of schedule, Ancelotti in order to better prepare for the league, many players did not go to Basel, but Real Madrid still won the game with Isco's goal.

It is worth mentioning that the Chinese international Wu Sanshi, who plays for Basel, has performed well, and if it were not for bad luck, he could have helped Basel draw with Real Madrid.

No one expected that Real Madrid, after experiencing a slump at the beginning of the season, would miraculously win 16 consecutive victories in all competitions and 10 consecutive league wins.

At the weekend, Real Madrid continued their away journey against Málaga, and helped Real Madrid beat Malaga 2-1 away to Malaga with Tang Zheng's stoppage time corner kick, winning 11 consecutive league wins.

If Real Madrid, who have won 17 consecutive games in all competitions, can win CD-Corne, Celta, Ludogdez and Almeria before the Club World Cup, Real Madrid can hit the record of 24 consecutive wins in all competitions set by Coritiba in 2011, because Real Madrid's overall strength is outstanding in the Club World Cup, and winning the semi-finals and finals is not a big problem, and then it will be 23 consecutive wins in all competitions.

The Spanish and domestic media are also reporting on the possible world record that Real Madrid, who are in good form, making the whole Real Madrid team extremely exposed during this period.

Records are what every professional player pursues, and Tang Zheng is no exception.

At the beginning, his original intention was to perform well in the domestic league to help Real Madrid establish an advantage in the league, and when the time comes, Real Madrid can recover even if they lose points after the Asian Cup, but now that they have the opportunity to set a world record, why not work harder?

In this regard, Tang Zheng and his teammates have the same idea.

Real Madrid, who returned to their home stadium, faced the challenge of CD-Cone in the second leg of the Copa del Rey 1/16 finals, and in view of the weakness of the opponent, Ancelotti still sent a large number of substitutes and young players to participate, and finally won the opponent by five goals with excellent overall strength.

The league match between Real Madrid and Celta Vigo has not been much to watch for the Spanish media, with only local media from Catalonia and pro-Atletico Madrid hoping that Celta, who had beaten Barcelona in the past, could beat Real Madrid again.

This gave Barcelona and Atletico Madrid a chance to close the score.

The domestic media in China has paid a lot of attention to this game, and not many people have paid attention to the young Sun Jingbo before the World Cup in Brazil this summer, but as he shines in the World Cup, more and more people know that there is a Chinese named Sun Jingbo in the Barcelona second team.

After the efforts of Tang Zheng's agency this summer, Sun Jingbo got the opportunity to join Celta on loan, and Sun Jingbo did not disappoint Tang Zheng and Rodrigo, and quickly won the starting position with his extraordinary strength, and even killed his parent team Barcelona in the focus battle.

As a result, the La Liga match at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium has attracted a lot of attention from the media and fans in China.

As we all know, Sun Jingbo is a signed player of Tang Zheng's agency, so the Chinese domestic media chose a very gimmicky title for this game: China's La Liga Derby Master Hiring Battle.

The Spanish domestic media named the match much more conventionally, only describing it as David challenging Goliath.

In the end, David failed to beat Goliath, Tang Zheng, Luka Modric and Benzema scored a goal each to help Real Madrid beat the visiting Celta 3-0.

The two games leading up to the Club World Cup did not pose any threat to Real Madrid, beating Ludogedes 4-0 at home and Almeria 4-1 away to make it 21 wins in a row in all competitions and 13 in a league winning streak.

The Real Madrid team, who won the game, flew to Monaco that evening to begin preparations for the Club World Cup.

Real Madrid enjoy the privilege of being Champions League winners and do not have to play in the quarter-finals, and will qualify directly for the semi-finals like the Copa Libertadores winners and San Lorenzo.

For the sake of spectacle in the final, the semi-finals of the Champions League and the Copa Libertadores are staggered, so Real Madrid's opponent in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup is the Blue Cross from Mexico.

Tang Zheng won the Copa Libertadores and the Champions League with River Plate and Borussia Dortmund respectively, but he joined Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2009 and Real Madrid last summer, so he lost the opportunity to participate in the Club World Cup, which means that the semi-final of the Club World Cup against Blue Cross was the first Club World Cup match of Tang Zheng's career.

For the first time in life, men always care very much, and Tang Zheng is the same.

In the semi-finals at the Prince Abdullah Stadium, Real Madrid advanced to the final with Tang Zheng's brace and Ramos and Benzema's bloodless 4:0 victory over Blue Cross.

A day later, in the other semi-final at the Marrakech Stadium, Copa Libertadores champions San Lorenzo beat Auckland City 2-1.

At 7:30 p.m. local time on December 20 in Monaco, Real Madrid accepted the challenge from San Lorenzo, the winner of the Copa Libertadores, at the Marrakech Stadium.

With Real Madrid's four-goal win over the Blue Cross, Real Madrid have won 22 consecutive games in all competitions and are in hot form, and San Lorenzo is worried that Real Madrid will be able to play something in attack and opt for a full-fledged defense.

In the first half, the United Nations drew 0-0 with Real Madrid, but Tang Zheng, who has been in excellent form recently, broke the deadlock in the World Cup at the beginning of the second half.

With the score behind, the defense has lost its meaning to San Lorenzo.

However, San Lorenzo, who strengthened the attack, did not make achievements on the offensive end, but conceded another goal in defense, and Tang Zheng accurately found Cristiano Ronaldo with a long pass after the break, forming a single knife.

Cristiano Ronaldo was very calm and easily kicked the ball into the far corner in the face of the goalkeeper.

It was the last goal of the 2014 Club World Cup.

In this way, Tang Zhengsui Real Madrid won the first Club World Cup championship in the personal glory list.
