Chapter 063: World Wave

Atletico Madrid's defenders Godin, Juanfrán, Koke, Gabi and Thiago are all concentrated on the right side of their own defense, and the defenders close to the middle and left naturally move closer to the middle, which means that the entire back line is squeezed very hard, making the left side of the defense almost unguarded.

Tang Zheng was keenly aware of this, and he hurriedly signaled Cristiano Ronaldo to pass the ball back.

Cristiano Ronaldo made an instant decision, pulled the ball back with the sole of his right foot, turned his body center of gravity back, and then pushed the ball to Tang Zheng with the arch of his foot.

Cork is not particularly tall, but his body is strong, his movements are stiff, and it is a little difficult to keep up with Tang Zheng's agile pace.

In addition, Tang Zheng did not give Cork a chance to come up, he directly kicked a 45-degree cross to the incoming ball.

Seeing Tang Zheng's passing posture, the double central defenders Godin and Miranda subconsciously looked for striker Benzema.

At the same time, Simeone, the head coach of the home team's command area, leaned forward half a step forward and exclaimed, "Watch the distance!"

But the frenetic atmosphere at Calderón Stadium is extremely frenetic, the momentum is huge, and the attention of the players is so focused on the game that Simeone's voice cannot reach the players, even if it can reach the field.

Match concentration is something that every professional player must do in the game.

The adducted left-back Felipe was upset as he pulled out Godin to defend Cristiano Ronaldo's position and joined Miranda in defending Benzema.

As for the aftermath......

There is no full-back!

And Tang Zheng's non-stop direct pass was sent right behind Felipe.

Felipe didn't forget to look at the ball in the air as he turned, and as he fully turned to pull out, he saw Real Madrid's right wing-back Carvajal plugging in at high speed.

"Oops!"

Tang Zheng's pass was very comfortable, exactly the same as Carvajal's step.

"Oh, oh, oh-"

The Atletico Madrid fans at the Calderón Stadium immediately let out a loud exclamation.

Carvajal didn't need any adjustment in his high-speed run, saw where the ball would land, took a step forward with his left foot, and then picked up his right foot and fired a low ball with the arch of his foot to the penalty spot.

The live broadcast camera switched instantly, and before the penalty spot, the commentator of Spanish national television channel 5 shouted violently: "- Cristiano Ronaldo!!"

The two central defenders, Godin and Miranda, immediately stretched out their legs and fell to the ground to block and increase the coverage area.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo's leg swings were so fast and the ball was kicked so fast that Godin and Miranda's downed blocks didn't touch the ball.

On the contrary, it must have interfered with goalkeeper Courtois's vision, and it was too late for him to make a save when he saw the football clinging to the turf towards the bottom left corner of the goal.

There is only one action he can do, and that is to look at the ball and sigh.

The frenzied atmosphere of the Calderón Stadium was reduced to a minimum in that moment, and only the thrill of the hysterical catharsis of the Real Madrid players present.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the goal, made a celebration like a roc spreading his wings.

"Woo-woo-"

He was greeted by the home fans who reacted.

In front of the away team's coach's box, Carlo Ancelotti and his assistants Clement and Zidane hugged excitedly to celebrate the goal.

Three games against Atletico Madrid, finally scored!

Atletico Madrid coach Simeone looked very frustrated, the past two games have been very successful, facing Real Madrid with one win and one draw, and he thought that this game would still maintain a clean sheet against Real Madrid.

But man is not as good as heaven, and his best disciple noticed a fleeting defensive hole in Atletico's defense at a critical moment.

Of course, Carvajal's cross was just as clear as Cristiano Ronaldo's role.

However, in Simeone's view, without Tang Zheng, Real Madrid's goal would no longer exist.

PPTV commentator Su Dong said excitedly: "Real Madrid's attack finally broke through Atletico Madrid's iron wall, it is not easy! Although the goal was scored by Carvajal assisting Ronaldo, Tang Zheng's role is extremely important, if there is no timely offensive transfer and just right, I think Real Madrid's goal will be postponed indefinitely." ”

Cristiano Ronaldo, who celebrated the goal, did not forget Tang Zheng, he smiled and opened his arms and gave Tang Zheng a big hug.

As a goalscorer, Cristiano Ronaldo is well aware of Tang Zheng's strength.

The league's goal so far has been able to beat Messi, which is directly related to Tang Zheng's direct assist and indirect participation.

In the 2013 FIFA Golden Globe Awards, Cristiano Ronaldo believes that he has a great chance of winning the 2014 FIFA Golden Globe Awards!

※※※

Now that the goal conceded is a fact, there wasn't much frustration on the part of the Atletico players as they picked up their mood and tried to equalise before half-time.

The winner of the two legs of home and away matches can certainly determine the winning team, but if the aggregate score is drawn, it will depend on the number of away goals scored by both sides.

There is no doubt that Atletico Madrid are currently without an away goal, while Real Madrid have one.

Therefore, if Atletico want to qualify for this season's Copa del Rey final, the equalizer is not enough, it must be overtaken.

The goal of the visiting Real Madrid also means that there will be no extra time in this game, and Atletico Madrid has no way back!

Diego Costa is very capable and can play a vital role in both the offensive and defensive ends, but he can't do anything in this relatively passive situation.

As a second striker, David Villa is old and inevitably a little unable to play at such a high level.

However, Atletico Madrid, who strengthened the attack, and Real Madrid fought on a par, after all, Real Madrid is a visiting team, and even if it has a technical advantage, it does not dare to strengthen the attack too much.

The current Atletico Madrid team has its own characteristics in rapid counterattacks, and the same is true for positional attacks, but they are slightly weaker than Real Madrid's positional attacking ability.

Despite this, Atletico did not score until the end of the first half, and the two sides went into the break with a score of 0:1.

In the home team's dressing room, Simeone stirred up the emotions of his players with his unique passionate and stimulating approach.

In the second half, Atletico Madrid, who fell behind in the score, obviously had a significant increase in momentum.

And the most obvious manifestation of this increase in momentum is the grabbing of five-five opens, so that Real Madrid players competing for five-five goals will feel that Atletico Madrid players are going to use the soles of their shoes to stomp their feet instead of grabbing the ball.

In the first few minutes of the second half, there was a feeling that the Real Madrid defence was in a state of collapse, with the football pass struggling the midfield.

Tang Zheng is even more bitter, as one of the most relied on players in Real Madrid's attacking line, he has received more attention than Cristiano Ronaldo.

Obviously, this was the focus of Simeone's half-time explanation.

Tang Zheng has a high ball quotient and tried to switch positions again after realizing the importance that Atletico players are focusing on him, hoping to find an opportunity.

It's just that Simeone has a targeted deployment for this, and the position between the defender and the defender is kept very close, and there is no more dislocation like the first half of the goal.

Ancelotti, who was standing in front of the away team's coach's box, didn't worry too much about Real Madrid's attack, anyway, now with an away goal in hand, even if Atletico equalized, Real Madrid could rely on the away goal advantage to advance to the final.

So the person who pays more attention to the live director is Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone.

In La Liga, more and more people have called him a bandit, and every time the live broadcast director will give priority to his 'wonderful performance' on the sidelines.

Inflammatory gestures can not only stir up the emotions of the fans, but also send a signal to the players on the field - as long as the game is not over, anything is possible!

In the blink of an eye, fifteen minutes into the second half, Atletico Madrid still did not knock on the Real Madrid goal.

Simeone had no choice but to make adjustments through substitutions.

Adrian replaces David Villa, who is 33 years old this year.

A change was made in midfield at the same time, with Raul Garcia replacing Portugal international Thiago with a yellow card.

Two minutes later, Real Madrid made a substitution.

Isco replaced Di Maria to strengthen the small technical combination of the frontcourt players.

Just as Real Madrid had just completed the substitution, Atletico equalized!

Felipe used his excellent footwork to get past Isco and Carvajal on the left before crossing in time for Khedira.

Diego Costa pressed Ramos' header back to the top and Koke fired straight at the edge of the penalty area.

The football burst out of the cracks, and goalkeeper Diego López reacted unhappily and subconsciously made a flying save, but helplessly due to the infinite power of Koke's shot, the football only changed direction slightly and did not completely move away from the goal.

"Whoa—"

A second later, the Calderón Stadium resounded with a deafening loud cheer.

The goal-scoring Coke is like a wild horse on the loose, he has scored few goals himself, and now he has scored a crucial goal, and it is his knee-jerk to celebrate wildly.

Simeone in front of the home team's dugout looked more like he had scored a goal, and the exaggerated celebration was eye-catching.

The Atletico fans in the stands became even more agitated by Simeone, and the deafening chanting quickly spread from one side of the stand to the entire stadium.

※※※

As Cork helped Atletico Madrid equalise, the frenzy at the Calderón Stadium continued to run high, with huge cheers rising one after another.

In many cases, the performance of the fans is closely related to the performance of the players on the field, and the fans are isolated, and the players follow suit.

It's not ...... Diego López's goalkeeping has been continuously tested by Atletico Madrid players.

Carlo Ancelotti realised that the situation of passive defence had to change, otherwise Atletico Madrid at home could have overtaken the score in a frenzied atmosphere!

If you overtake the score, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Now this Atletico Madrid team is already good at defense, if it overtakes the score, it is still unknown whether Real Madrid's offensive ability can break through Atletico Madrid's defense.

But then again, the score is still 1:1, and it is still Real Madrid who ends the game with the current score and advances to the final.

It's just that......

The passive situation must be improved, so Ancelotti's eyes are on Tang Zheng.

Although Cristiano Ronaldo's scoring ability is super strong, only Tang Zheng can solve the current predicament!

However, the game is fiercely contested, and it is a bit difficult to convey the latest tactical ideas.

So...... still have to rely on Tang Zheng's reading competition to try to change the current unfavorable situation.

At the same time, Tang Zheng came to attack the left rib, raised his right arm, and motioned for Xavi Alonso to pass the ball over.

Although Gabi and Coke were focused on Tang Zheng, Xavi Alonso did not hesitate, because he believed that Tang Zheng was not a reckless person and that he must have a reason for asking for the ball.

Simeone's brows furrowed, he didn't know why Tang Zheng would ask for the ball when he was focusing on defense.

Could it be ...... Found a hole in your own defense?

The football rolled towards Tang Zheng, and Gabi and Cork roared away like sharks smelling blood.

Tang Zheng did not catch the football first, but stepped forward with his right foot, stuck his body in front of Koke, and then stretched out his left foot to catch the ball.

In order to organize Tang Zheng to take the ball comfortably, Gabi's whole body was attached to Tang Zheng from behind, preventing him from turning around to meet the ball.

Because Tang Zheng's skills at his feet are excellent, especially when he turns to meet the ball, he can often be unexpected.

But what he never expected was that Tang Zheng did not take the ball, but suddenly gave way to the left with his left foot at the moment of receiving the ball.

The ball drilled between Tang Zheng's legs, and Gabi subconsciously retracted his feet to keep the ball in place, but the speed was half a beat slower, and the ball continued to roll backwards.

Tang Zheng, who let the ball go, did not observe the direction of the football, but started on the spot and ran diagonally from the ribs to the middle.

Gabi's attention was taken away by football, and Cork lacked explosiveness and started slowly.

"- Cristiano Ronaldo!"

With a shout from the commentator of Spanish TV 5, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was backed by Raul Garcia, stepped on the football, saw Tang Zheng's running direction, and pushed the ball over.

There is nothing the defender can do about this targeted coordination.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng are in exactly the same position, and the defenders can only get as close as possible to interfere, but not destroy in the first place.

Tang Zheng, who was running, looked up at the direction of the goal, then took a big step forward with his left foot, and picked up his right foot about thirty-two meters away from the goal.

Seeing this, where did Turan not know what Tang Zheng was going to do?

"Oops!"

Suddenly, Simeone's pupils shrank suddenly, and he felt bad.

He realized that in addition to passing and defending, his proud disciple Tang Zheng is also famous for his long-range shooting!

Turan lowered his center of gravity with the downward pressure of his left foot and stretched forward with his right foot, trying to use his body to expand the defensive area and thus play the role of interception.

“Boom~”

Tang Zheng's long-range shot was very decisive, so he had enough power.

The force of the ball in the air almost grazed the tip of Turan's stretched right foot and whistled in the direction of the goal, and the two central defenders Godin and Miranda could not do anything about the football in the air, all they could do was to look at the football, twist their waist and turn around, and pin all their hopes on goalkeeper Courtois.

The same can be said of Atletico fans in the stands, who will be hoping that Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois can save the team.

And Courtois knows that Tang Zheng's long-range shot is extremely powerful and the angle is tricky, and he subconsciously pounced sideways but failed to touch the football.

"Damn!" Courtois was unwilling: "Just a little bit!"

The ball ended up smashing on the inside edge of the right throttle post and bouncing into the net.

World Wave!
