The 7th round of the 2013-2014 La Liga season is undoubtedly the match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium, the two teams have met a total of 152 times in La Liga history, Real Madrid won 85, drew 32 and lost 35, scored 277 goals and conceded 202 goals to have the upper hand.

Among them, Real Madrid won 76, drew 12 and lost 12 at home, scoring 154 goals and conceding 88 goals.

Real Madrid have won eight in a row against Atletico Madrid in La Liga, and the last time Atletico Madrid took a point at the Bernabeu was back in the 26th round of La Liga in the 2008-2009 season, when Atletico drew 1-1 with Real Madrid.

And Atletico Madrid's defeat of Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium dates back to the late nineties of the last century, in the 10th round of La Liga in the 1999-2000 season, Atletico Madrid defeated Real Madrid 3:1.

This is the 153rd meeting between the two sides in La Liga, and the two sides have fielded their strongest squads.

The official formation given by the visiting Atletico Madrid is 442, the starting goalkeeper is the Belgian 21-year-old Courtois, the four defenders Juanfran, Miranda, Godin and Felipe, the four midfielders Gabi, Thiago, Turan and Koke, and the double striker Diego Costa partners David Villa.

The official formation given by Real Madrid is 4231, considering that there is still a Champions League group stage in the middle of next week, there are new changes at full-back, Coentrão replaces Marcelo, Arbeloa on the right, and Ramos is still in central defence with Pepe.

The two-man midfield partnership has also changed, Ancelotti took into account the impact of Atletico's full-time pressure on the team's central system, he did not choose Xavi Alonso or Modric to partner Khedira, but used Tang Zheng as a partner.

This change surprised many commentators who got the starting lineup, Tang Zheng's transfer to Real Madrid was due to his excellent performance in the midfield position, and Tang Zheng appeared in the front midfield position in the first six league games and the first round of the Champions League group stage, but this Madrid derby unexpectedly appeared in the back position......

However, no one is surprised that Tang Zheng appeared in the midfield position, after all, Tang Zheng played as a defensive midfielder at the beginning of his career.

In fact, Ancelotti's idea is very simple, since Tang Zheng, who plays in the front midfield, and Cristiano Ronaldo cannot form a tacit understanding, it is better to disassemble the offensive combination in the front court, let Tang Zheng return to the defensive midfield, and increase the efficiency of switching from defense to attack while strengthening the defense in the middle.

This is also the fundamental reason why Luka Modric and Xavi Alonso did not start.

The three defenders were Cristiano Ronaldo, Isco and Di Maria, with Benzema up front.

It is worth mentioning that before the start of the Madrid derby, Barcelona won 2:0 at the Juan Roas Stadium and ranked first in the league with 21 points from seven wins.

It is equivalent to saying that once the match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid is not decided, then Barcelona will enjoy the first place in the league alone.

For Real Madrid, who are playing at home, they can't afford to draw, let alone lose!

The fourth-round draw away to Villarreal has already put them behind Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, and will be at least four points behind Barcelona if they fail to win the next Madrid derby.

But then again, the premise of winning is not to concede the ball first, and then to score again, so Tang Zheng appeared in the defensive midfield.

※※※

With the Spanish golden whistle Lahozzi whistle, the 153rd Madrid derby in La Liga history officially kicked off, Real Madrid at home took the lead, Benzema kicked the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, who handed it to Isco, and the overall formation was opened.

As Ancelotti imagined, starting with striker Diego Costa, Villa, Gabi, Thiago, Koke and Turan quickly joined the frenzied pressing in the frontcourt, without giving the Real Madrid players with the ball even half a second to think.

Isco had already experienced Atletico's full-court pressing during his time in Malaga last season, so he handed the ball to Tang Zheng the moment he received a pass from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Before the game, Ancelotti explained more than once that if there is difficulty in controlling the ball or organizing the attack, he must hand the ball to Tang Zheng as soon as possible, and he will solve the problem.

Seeing the football roll towards Tang Zheng, Diego Costa and Villa turned a corner and pounced on Tang Zheng one from left to the other.

Tang Zheng faced the football, his body was slightly tilted to the left, and his right ankle was broken outward, making a posture of wanting to pass the ball to his partner Khedira.

Diego Costa is not a professional defensive player, and his siege with Villa is mainly based on momentum.

Coupled with his hideous appearance, it gives people a chilling feeling.

But Tang Zheng was not afraid, he deceived Diego Costa's center of gravity and then used the flexibility of his ankle to slam the football to the left.

Villa's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his left foot to try to break the ball at Tang Zheng's feet during the run.

The result?

Tang Zheng slammed the ball to the right with the inside of his left instep, and the ball rolled into the space between Diego Costa and Villa.

“…… Midfielder Khedira partnered with Tang Zheng, and the three forwards were ......" Yang 5 commentator He Wei was still introducing the starting list of the two sides, and when he saw this, he suddenly changed his voice and shouted: "Beautiful!

Diego Costa and Villa braked sharply on the spot, and Tang Zheng started forward, completed an easy breakthrough, and took the ball forward.

The Turkish international Turan was very fierce and rushed towards the football.

Tang Zheng's ball distance was moderate, he did not panic, his right long leg stretched forward, stepped on the football, and then pulled back, and his body completed a counterclockwise turn of about 120 degrees.

Immediately, Tang Zheng's left foot quickly pulled the ball back, and then leaned his back against Turan, completing a 90-degree turn to the left, and refacing the direction of Atletico Madrid's goal.

Marseille maneuver!

"Whoa"

At the same time, there were loud cheers at the Bernabeu Stadium, cheering for Tang Zheng's continuous dribbling.

Atletico captain Gabi couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed towards Tang Zheng with a fierce momentum.

This time, Tang Zheng didn't choose anyone again, because he got a lot of space for his teammates after attracting two defenders from Atletico!

But...... Referee Lahoz's whistle sounded.

It turned out that Tang Zheng used dribbling to win space for his teammates, and Gabi, as the captain, did not allow the football to be passed out, so he even kicked Tang Zheng to the ground with the ball.

Referee Lahoz blew the whistle for the first time, but did not give a card.

"Woo woo"

This can cause a backlash from the home fans, who create a deafening boo.

On the field, captain Sergio Ramos also ran to Lahoz to complain, hoping that the referee would give Gabi a yellow card.

The first is that Tang Zheng is very beautiful to get rid of, and if the ball is successfully divided, it can bring great benefits to the team's offense.

In the face of such an opportunity, the referee should set an example.

If Gabi receives a yellow card less than a minute into the game, he will definitely be more honest in the future, which will be beneficial to the team's overall attack in the future.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti also excitedly came to the fourth official and complained about the soft-heartedness of referee Lahoz.

Despite this, Lahoz stuck to his judgment and only gave Atletico captain Gabi a verbal warning.

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the referee Lahoz opened the net, otherwise once Gabi received a yellow card, it would be a hidden danger to Atletico Madrid's future full-court pressure.

Real Madrid won a free kick from the back close to the arc of the center circle, and Simeone looked up at Tang Zheng, the most satisfied disciple so far, and shook his head in regret......

A player like Tang Zheng who can directly strengthen the overall strength of the team is something that no head coach wants to miss.

Therefore, after the farewell of the riverplate, it is a pity.

Simeone's eyes continued to 'wander' the pitch before locking on to Koke, who was wearing the number six shirt.

Koke can be said to be a weakened version of Tang Zheng, a typical hexagonal player.

Physical, physical, full of fitness, strong defensive ability, passing and receiving the ball and protecting the ball are not lacking, if you have to find a weakness, it is that his dribbling accuracy is not enough.

Because of his size, he has a strong ability to protect the ball, but the problems that come with it are a lack of physical flexibility and agility.

However, Cork has a strong character and great potential, perhaps ...... He may be able to make a splash in this game!

※※※

The game continued to start, and the iron-blooded Atletico continued their usual full-court pressing, even if the footwork was as strong as Cristiano Ronaldo, Isco and Tang Zheng, it was difficult to calm down in the circle of Atletico Madrid players.

In many cases, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the Atletico players will not be able to break the ball on the spot and play the counterattack quickly, but this kind of quick ball is prone to mistakes.

Once the football does not reach Tang Zheng's feet, this situation occurs very frequently.

Fortunately, Tang Zheng and Khedira are often able to appear in key positions in the transition from attack to defense, so that Atletico's quick counter-attacks are difficult to achieve.

Due to Atletico Madrid's very strategic style of play, which leads to weak control of the midfield, it is difficult to maintain continuous control of football like Barcelona and Real Madrid even if they get opportunities from defense to attack.

However, it also increased the confidence of the Atletico players, as Diego Simeone said before the game, as long as there is unwavering full-court pressing, it will be Atletico Madrid who will win.

Isn't that the last six rounds of the league?

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes into the first half, Real Madrid led Atletico Madrid's 39% with 61%.

It is worth mentioning that Real Madrid spend most of their possession time at the back, so there is no advantage in possession close to the six-fourth opening.

In the 11th minute, Atletico Madrid combined forces on the right side of the defense to cut off the ball at the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo, and then quickly pushed forward, Gabi suddenly made a long pass to Diego Costa in front of him from a distance of 40 meters on the right side.

Arbeloa picked the ball very well and pushed the ball forward as he retreated.

Because the body retreats backwards, it does not borrow much power, and the distance to top the ball is not far enough.

Right centre-back Pepe stepped in in and pressed Koke to push the ball forward.

Tang Zheng stuck the position, carried Thiago's header sideways, pushed it to Di Maria, who was deep in the recovery position, and then pulled away to receive the ball.

However, what I didn't expect was that Di Maria did not pass the ball back to Tang Zheng in the face of Atletico Madrid's left-back Felipe, but chose to break through by himself.

As a result, Felipe saw through it, did not eat Di Maria's feints, and stretched his right foot just to block the forward route of the football.

The whole team was in a shift from defense to attack, and the two backs Tang Zheng and Khedira both pulled out of position as a receiving point, but no one expected that Di Maria, who was excellent in the team's footwork, would make a mistake in dribbling......

Felipe stretched out his foot and kicked the ball to the ghostly Koke, and Pepe, who was closest to him, hurriedly stepped forward.

Koke, who received the ball, met the ball with the inside of his right foot and slammed it to the left, just widening the distance between him and Pepe.

Arbeloa is defensively minded, keeping a parallel to the last defender while also keeping an eye out for the link between Koke and Diego Costa.

Before the game, Carlo Ancelotti had been told to pay attention to the connection between Koke and the strikers.

However, Koke's feet were very fast, and just after the inside of his right instep was dunked the ball, he quickly passed a very hidden through ball with the outside instep.

The ball rolls into the rib space between Pepe and Arbeloa, Abelloa subconsciously stretches out his foot and does not touch the ball, and the ball continues to roll towards Diego Costa, who is running from the outside to the ribs.

Tournament veteran Arbeloa and Pepe raised their right arms at the same time to signal for offside for Diego Costa.

However, the linesman remained unfazed and continued to follow Diego Costa forward towards the baseline.

Other words...... No offside!

Diego Costa got into the ball and was already stepping on the line of the penalty area, and his next adjustment went into the box.

Facing Diego Lopez, who was standing in front of the small penalty line, Diego Costa calmly pushed the far corner into the armpit of Diego López.

This position is very awkward for the goalkeeper because he doesn't know whether to get down to the ground or stretch out his legs to block.

Often in their hesitation, they have already missed the best time to make a save, and the ball rolls into the goal from the armpit position of Diego López.

0：1

Atletico Madrid takes the lead!

Diego Costa, who scored the goal, celebrated the goal excitedly, but the close-up of the live director was explained to Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti.

He has a straight face in a suit and leather shoes, and he looks ugly.

This time the switch from defense to attack should have been handled very succinctly, whether it was Tang Zheng or Khedira, or Isco, it was a good receiving position, but Di Maria chose the stupidest way......

Yang 5 commentator He Wei first praised Atletico Madrid's tactical success, and then felt sorry for Real Madrid: "Real Madrid has been working on how to get rid of Atletico Madrid's efficient and fast counterattack before conceding the goal, Tang Zheng also did a good enough, his vision is broad, and the header is very reasonable for Di Maria, but Di Maria's brain suddenly short-circuited in the key transition from defense to attack, which caused Real Madrid to be in the stage of switching from attack to defense at the moment of turning from defense to attack." ”

Commentator Xu Yang added: "From defense to attack to attack is the weakest link in the team's defense, and according to the slow-motion replay, the left central defender Ramos is dragging at the back, and the inconsistent position of the entire back line is also a problem exposed by this shift from attack to defense, so even if Tang Zheng performs well on the defensive end, he can't make up for the mistakes of the entire back line, but the game time is still early, and there is still a lot of time left for Real Madrid, I believe Tang Zheng can bring something different to Real Madrid......"

The Real Madrid fans in the stands looked very depressed, last season's Real Madrid could still beat Atletico Madrid home and away, why does it feel like Atletico Madrid has changed to another team this season?

A team that is good enough to wrestle with Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga.
