Real Madrid and Real Betis have met 96 times in history, Real Madrid has an absolute advantage with 53 wins, 20 draws and 23 losses, scoring 207 goals and conceding 104 goals, including 36 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses at home, scoring 132 goals and conceding 37 goals.

The last home draw was back in the 2006-2007 season, when both teams played out 0-0 home and away, and the last time Real Betis took all three points at the Bernabeu was 15 years ago in the 1998-1999 season.

Ancelotti's squad has made significant changes compared to the squad that competed in the International Champions Cup.

The goalkeeper sent the 'octopus' Diego Lopes in better form, the four defenders did not change much, Marcelo, Ramos, Pepe and Carvajal, the double back is Khedira and Modric, Cristiano Ronaldo and Di Maria left and right, Tang Zheng plays in the middle of the midfield, and Benzema is in the front.

The tactical thinking of Real Betis, who was a guest at the Bernabeu, was very clear from the very beginning of the game: a draw is a victory!

The formation offered by Real Madrid is a four-two-three-one formation full of strategy, while Real Betis officially gives a four-five-one-team formation, but in fact it is a five-five formation, and it seems that it only wants to hold on to one point.

Breaking down dense defence has always been a problem in the world, and Ancelotti, who is coaching Real Madrid for the first time, has nothing to do, all he can do now is wait!

Wait for Real Betis to make a mistake on their own initiative!

Or, wait for your team's stars to shine.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng both have the ability to do this, but the game has only just begun, and the Real Betis players are full of energy and defensive concentration, and few problems have been exposed.

In addition, Ancelotti's concerns have persisted and show no signs of improvement.

Whether it is Real Madrid fans at the scene or Real Madrid fans in front of the TV, they all want to see the connection between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, but the tacit understanding between the two is very low, and even the most common small-scale cooperation does not appear.

It's not that Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo don't connect with each other, but their rhythm is not at the same point, and the two like to compete with each other, which has brought some negative effects to Real Madrid's attack.

Cristiano Ronaldo's performance was very strong, but Real Betis' defensive right side players have figured out how many ways he can break through, whether it is down or inside, and he is so well defended that it is difficult for him to play his own characteristics.

On the other side, Di Maria is playing vigorously under Tang Zheng's 'care', he and Tang Zheng do not speak the same language, and there are many exchanges in private, although the friendship is not very deep, but at least it can improve the tacit understanding of the game.

Also playing well is right wing-back Carvajal, who experienced Tang Zheng's strength during his time at Bayer Leverkusen, and left no stone unturned in assists, Tang Zheng has a wide field of vision, so he passes a long diagonal pass with full precision when the Real Betis defender is too adducted.

As the attack on the right continued to grow, Cristiano Ronaldo on the left looked more and more sluggish and played very poorly.

Tang Zheng plays a very big role in Ancelotti's tactical system, even more important than Cristiano Ronaldo, so the offense has fallen into a stalemate, and football should be given priority to Tang Zheng, and he will decide the way of attacking.

※※※

Tang Zheng's attacking style is diverse, not only does he have excellent long-range shooting ability, but he can also catch the opponent's defensive holes while moving, so the Real Betis defenders have become more and more anxious as time goes on.

In the 25th minute, Tang Zheng flicked the ball to the right with the outside of his right foot about 30 meters away from the baseline on the left rib of the attack, looked up at Carvajal who was inserted at high speed on the right side, and then picked up his right foot, he successfully deceived Cedric into stretching his leg to block.

Tang Zheng's right foot was quickly retracted, and the ball was pushed to the left front with the front of the instep, and the right foot was parked about 15 centimeters in front of the right side of the football.

After several years of tempering, Tang Zheng's left foot accuracy is not much worse than that of his right foot, so the angle of this long-range shot is very good when the volume is full.

Goalkeeper Anderson was well positioned and reacted quickly with a right-hand pounce to lift the ball over the crossbar.

"Whoa"

Suddenly, there was a loud exclamation at the Bernabeu Stadium.

According to the slow-motion replay, it's really a little bit worse!

Tang Zheng, who did not score the first goal at the Bernabeu, also looked very sorry and held his head in his hands.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei made witty remarks: "Shooting wonderfully, saving beautifully! Tang Zheng's state is really good, his offensive organization has gradually played a role, and now he uses long-range shots to warn the visiting Real Betis! I think the next game will be even more exciting! The best way to break the dense defense is nothing more than long-range shots and set-pieces, both of which Tang Zheng is very good at, it seems that ...... His goal on his debut at the Bernabeu is coming soon......"

The commentator of Spanish national television is also optimistic about Tang Zheng's performance, and even Ancelotti, who is standing on the sidelines and nervously directing the game, also thinks so.

But no one expected that the visiting Real Betis would open the scoring......

Cedric counter-attacked by Cristiano Ronaldo's feet in midfield, and Khedira slowed down his tackle by half a beat.

Sateri then started to accelerate in the middle and ran more than 50 meters, dangling an angle in front of the big penalty area to send a direct pass from the right rib of the penalty area, Molina fell to the ground and stretched out his right foot to rub the ball before Pepe intercepted, and the ball flew between Diego López's legs into the net.

The close-up of the live director was explained to Cristiano Ronaldo, who made a fatal mistake, and he pursed his mouth in the broadcast screen, very regretful.

Benzema, who was closest to him, patted him on the shoulder as a gesture of comfort.

Cristiano Ronaldo patted Benzema on the back with a heavy expression, indicating that he knew what he knew.

But I made up my mind that I must make up for it in the next competition.

Tang Zheng's debut at the Bernabeu was so good, how could he be a sinner in the opening game of the new season as a real thigh for Real Madrid?

The game restarted and Cristiano Ronaldo's ball was very strong.

In the face of Cristiano Ronaldo's frequent beckoning requests, even if other teammates were in better positions, Tang Zheng was embarrassed not to hand the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo.

It's not that Cristiano Ronaldo is so deterrent, but that he wants the ball too close, and Tang Zheng doesn't give the ball a little overwhelmed.

It's one thing to be on the sidelines, it's another thing to be on the field.

Tang Zheng is a very thoughtful player, he and Cristiano Ronaldo do not conflict in the field position, the only conflict is the dressing room status.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been at Real Madrid for four years, and if he is new to the game, he must perform better if he wants to have more say.

As the core of the team's midfield, the task of scoring goals is not so heavy, and the overall attack is the most important thing.

Since Cristiano Ronaldo took the initiative to ask for the ball, give it to him.

After all, "fairness" is at ease in the hearts of the people, and it is clear who performs well on the court and who does not.

Cristiano Ronaldo has a strong desire for the ball and has contributed very little to the team.

His crosses lacked crosshairs under the interference of opposing players, and his long-range shot after cutting inside either hit the opposing player or fired an anti-aircraft gun.

The rhythm was not right, and the kick was not going well.

As Cristiano Ronaldo squandered his chances, Tang Zheng consciously passed the ball to Di Maria and Carvajal.

Two minutes later, Real Madrid equalised at the Bernabeu.

Carvajal took advantage of the concentration of Real Betis defenders in the middle and on the left flank, and quietly inserted back.

He knew that Tang Zheng would definitely be able to see it.

Sure enough!

When he ran parallel to Perques, the last defender of Real Betis, Tang Zheng made a precise diagonal teleportation.

Centre-back Perquez, who was dragging behind, raised his right arm and signalled for linesman Carvajal to be offside.

But the linesman remained unfazed and followed Carvajal's run.

Other words...... No offside!

Tang Zheng's passing is quite tacit with Carvajal's running, and Carvajal on the back does not need to slow down, and it is very comfortable, so he only needs to adjust his pace during the run.

I saw Carvajal in the broadcast screen directly pick up his right foot, and swept the ball directly to the middle of the penalty area without stopping.

Benzema, who flanked the follow-up in the middle, caught up and kicked the ball into the far corner of the goal.

1：1

Real Madrid equalize!

At the same time, Yang 5 commentator He Wei said ecstatically: "Many people say that Ozil can make the game easier, Tang Zheng's role is more obvious, he can create a chance that is not a chance at any time and any place into a great opportunity! His pass to Carvajal is very good, the so-called person to the ball, is such a pass! It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a master-level performance!"

Carlo Ancelotti, who was standing in front of the home team's coaching area, finally breathed a sigh of relief, because the premise of winning the game was an equaliser.

There were also deafening cheers at the Bernabeu Stadium, with Cristiano Ronaldo looking depressed.

He was keen to help his side equalise, but the Real Betis defenders paid special attention to him.

Two fists are hard to beat four hands, describing the meritorious Cristiano Ronaldo.

※※※

Real Madrid, who equalised, were playing more and more flexible in a frenetic home atmosphere, and it looked like it was only a matter of time before they overtook the scoreline.

Cristiano Ronaldo is still working hard and asks for the ball a lot.

However, he played more calmly than he did before the equaliser, and he no longer relied on his individual ability to cross or cut inside, but tried to link up with his team-mates.

Benzema has worked with Cristiano Ronaldo for four seasons and has a high level of tacit understanding, and Di Maria has also worked together for three seasons, and the degree of tacit understanding is not low.

Only Tang Zheng has the lowest degree of tacit understanding with him, but in the eyes of many commentators and head coach Ancelotti, it is not the length of cooperation time, but the lack of a ** seeking cooperation between the two.

And this kind of ** has to come from friendship outside the arena.

Like Cristiano Ronaldo's time at Manchester United, he and Wayne Rooney often played some subtle small-scale combinations in the game, which made people unguardable.

Is this talent?

Match tacit?

No!

It is a habit that is cultivated in daily training, or rather...... Habit becomes nature.

As long as the relationship is good enough, the training will consciously observe each other's playing habits, so as to increase the tacit understanding.

There is a lot of cooperation in the small area of the training ground, and you are worried about the lack of tacit understanding in the game?

So now Ancelotti in the home coaching area is not worried about whether the team can get off to a good start at home, he is most worried about whether Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng can form a tacit understanding.

Even if you lose points at the beginning of the season, there is still room for maneuver, otherwise it will be troublesome when the league enters a critical period.

It has always been difficult for a big manager to do, especially a team of Real Madrid's level, where the margin for error is even lower.

Jose Mourinho was ruled by Barcelona before Real Madrid, and his arrival gradually broke Barcelona's rule.

In the 2011-2012 La Liga season, they scored a record 100 points, but in the 2012-2013 season, they were dismissed because they did not get along with the stars on the inside.

Carlo Ancelotti's personality and way of dealing with the world make it difficult for him to contradict the players, but as a manager, if he doesn't handle the team well, he is not far from the end of the class.

The game continued on the pitch, and Real Madrid still dominated the game, with possession going from 64 per cent to 72 per cent.

Cristiano Ronaldo is still playing frustrated, and he will be taken care of by the Real Betis defenders wherever he is.

Tang Zheng ran aggressively, far away from the goal, and the defenders were unable to defend even if they wanted to.

After all, the Bernabeu Stadium is so big, and it is not usually difficult to control the core players who are active in the midfield.

The Real Betis coach is not stupid, they came to the Bernabeu with a draw, and it is completely acceptable to end the game according to the current score.

As the minutes ticked down and the 45th minute approached, the frenetic atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabeu was gradually decreasing.

The Spanish national television commentator shook his head and said: "It seems that the fans at the Bernabeu are a little dissatisfied with the players on the field, and they protest in this silent way, protest against ......"

However, before the words fell, Real Madrid suddenly launched a wave of offensive.

Tang Zheng retreated to the attacking 40-meter area to seek the cooperation of Modric and Di Maria, and came to the attacking 35-meter area through continuous crossing.

He noticed that the concentration of the Real Betis players had dropped a little, and the moment they stepped forward was not fierce enough.

So, Tang Zheng directly picked up his right foot while running, and he didn't even raise his head, it was completely by feeling.

“boom~”

The football flew straight into the goal like a cannonball, and Matilia and Nosa, who stepped forward to block, did not touch it.

They subconsciously turned their heads to look at the football flying towards the goal, and their hearts were shocked.

Goalkeeper Anderson looked at the football that came in front of him in a blink of an eye, and it was too late to run, he just subconsciously pounced on the spot.

However, compared to the flying speed of a football, his save speed is noticeably slower.

A few tenths of a second later, a deafening loud scuff rang out at the Bernabeu stadium.

And Tang Zheng, with his arms open and his eyes closed, felt the huge energy released by the Bernabeu stadium.
