The first leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League semi-final was 0-0 at the Stadio Calderón as Atletico drew with Chelsea at home, but the best way for both teams to play was to counter-attack, so it was not surprising that they did not score.

As a result, the first leg of the Champions League semi-final at the Bernabeu Stadium the next day attracted everyone's attention.

Real Madrid have been on the offensive this season, especially in the Champions League, with the most goals scored, while Bayern Munich is the second-most team to reach the semi-finals.

The teams with the most goals and the teams with the second most goals meet in the semi-finals, and the process will certainly not be boring.

With an hour to go before the start of the game, the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, which was covered with the five-star logo of the Champions League, was already full.

As far as the eye can see, it is all white.

Of course, at the far end of the stadium, you can still see a red phalanx belonging to the fans of the Bayern Expeditionary Force, but compared to the snow-white Real Madrid fan phalanx, it is like an ark in the ocean, which is completely negligible.

Despite this, Bayern fans are still happy to cheer for the away team Bayern.

During the warm-up, Tang Zheng did not have any communication with the Bayern players, and the Bayern players did not 'catch up' with Tang Zheng, because in the hearts of many Bayern players, Tang Zheng is like a curse, a curse that can never be broken.

As the clock ticked by, the Bayern players, who had been confident before the game, were gradually feeling the pressure.

But this pressure does not come from the atmosphere of the frenetic Bernabeu stadium, but from the 'Bayern nemesis' Tang Zheng.

After a short time, the players from both sides came out of their dressing rooms and then converged at the entrance of the players' tunnel, and the close-up of the live director followed in time, from the panoramic shot of the Bernabeu stadium to the close-up of the players in the players' tunnel.

There is no doubt that Cristiano Ronaldo, who has returned from injury, and Tang Zheng, who has been in hot form recently, are the focus of live broadcasters.

In addition, Ribery, Robben and Neuer of Bayern Munich are also captured objects.

Tang Zheng, who broadcast the picture, walked to the Bayern player on the right side of the tunnel with a simple high-five and encouragement with his teammates, as a former Dortmund player and now a Real Madrid player, he has enough reason to welcome the opponent Bayern player.

Tang Zheng was the first to walk to the nearest goalkeeper Neuer, he raised his right arm to hold Neuer's outstretched right hand, and said with a smile: "Manuel, are you ready to pick up the ball in the goal?"

Neuer gave Tang Zheng a roll of his eyes, but his tone did not fall behind, he said, "Let the horse come." ”

"Haha. Tang Zheng laughed and walked over to Robben and Ribery, then Ram.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei said with a smile: "Tang Zheng is still very host, and he took the initiative to welcome the visiting Bayern players. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly changed his voice: "But what Tang Zheng said to the Bayern players, we can analyze it according to the reaction of the Bayern players......"

At the same time, the other players also interacted with each other.

Although Khedira did not make the starting line-up, he was in the 18-man squad and shook hands with his team-mates as he walked to the home team's bench on the sidelines.

Moreover, both teams are long-established stars, and they will always say a few words to each other before the game to say hello and relieve the tension at the same time.

The commentator who has a good thing pays more attention to Tang Zheng and Bayern right-back Raphinha, who once clashed between the two during Raphinha's time with Schalke 04, so ......

In the blink of an eye, Swedish referee Eriksson led the referee staff and two players from the tunnel to the stadium, while the classic Champions League theme song "Champions-League_" sounded on the Bernabeu stadium radio at the same time

For this song full of religious praise, Tang Zheng will feel his blood boiling every time he hears it, and he has inexhaustible strength all over his body, so Tang Zheng's performance in the Champions League is better than that of the domestic league.

The 2012-2013 season is the best proof of this, the Bundesliga double 20+, the number of Champions League goals is equal to the single-season record of 14 goals in the Champions League jointly held by AC Milan and Messi.

However, that record could well be broken by the return of Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored 13 goals so far and could easily break it with just two goals in two semi-final games......

Getting back to business, after a series of necessary pre-match links, the two sides arranged for half time, waiting for the opening whistle of the first leg of the Champions League semi-final of referee Eriksen.

※※※

"Beep~"

With the whistle of the referee on duty, Eriksen, the first leg of the 2013-2014 Champions League semi-finals between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich was officially announced.

Mandzukic, who kicked off first, handed Robben, who quickly handed it to Toni Kroos, and the Bayern players spread out in formation and moved according to the rigorous tactics of manager Pep Guardiola before the game.

In the semi-finals of the Champions League, they can't afford to lose either against Real Madrid or Bayern, so the two sides are more concerned about defense.

Of course, it is not that the core strength of both sides is on defense, but the attack at the beginning of the game is mainly tentative.

Pep Guardiola is in charge of Bayern Munich in his first season, and his tactical philosophy has not yet been fully integrated with the team, and there will always be a bit of a leak in execution, plus Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo are in the Real Madrid attacking line, so that Guardiola and his coaching staff have to be careful.

The two sides of the game are somewhat similar in terms of formation, both are 4231 formations.

However, Real Madrid has made some changes in the use of the midfield, compared to the two legs of the quarter-finals, Tang Zheng is no longer a defensive midfield partner Xavi Alonso, but Modric, so Pep Guardiola's team chose to attack tentatively at the beginning of the game.

Ancelotti's core tactics are to follow the rapid counter-attack of former Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho, the attack is not in a hurry, the defense is the mainstay, and then the three playmaking midfielders look for counter-attacking opportunities.

Xavi Alonso, Luka Modric and Tang Zheng are all the kind of midfielders who are extremely accurate with long passes, and the two full-backs, Cristiano Ronaldo and Angel Di Maria, can attack Bayern Munich's flanks with speed at the slightest opportunity.

Obviously, Pep Guardiola is most worried about Real Madrid's quick counter-attacking tactics, so the number of times the two flanks can press is greatly limited, and both sides cannot press at the same time.

There was no actual attack between the two sides, and the on-site commentators began to explain the historical battles between the two sides.

Real Madrid and Bayern have met 15 times in the Champions League, equalling the record held by Barcelona and AC Milan, with Real Madrid topping the Champions League semi-final list with 50 games, followed by Bayern Munich with 31.

Real Madrid has been unbeaten in 17 consecutive Champions League games at home, so the Spanish media is very optimistic about Real Madrid's Champions League journey this season, and the last defeat was back in the 2010-2011 Champions League semi-finals.

After a few tentative attacks, it was only in the fifth minute that both sides contributed their first shot to the back of the net.

Arjen Robben cut inside from the right and Toni Kroos made a slight left-footed adjustment at the edge of the penalty area to shoot directly from distance, but his shot slowed down Ramos and the ball was picked up by Casillas in good position.

Two minutes later, Tang Zheng made a 45-degree cross directly from the right side of the attack, and Cristiano Ronaldo on the left side of the penalty area pressed Boateng to complete the header arch, and the football was slightly off the goal post, causing a burst of regret at the Bernabeu Stadium: "Oh, oh, oh-"

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes into the game, the visiting Bayern Munich led Real Madrid 46% with 56% possession, but considering that most of Bayern Munich's possession time was concentrated in the middle and back, not many Real Madrid fans were worried.

Pep Guardiola's football philosophy is to control the ball, find the space brought by the front teammate in successive horizontal passes and return passes, and then give a lethal pass.

But Bayern Munich is not Barcelona, there is no Xavi in the team, there is no Iniesta, and there is no Messi......

Sky England commentator Andy Gray commented: "The game was obviously affected by the Champions League semi-final that ended at Calderón Stadium last night, and there were not many attacking forces on both sides, but in the end it was unrealistic to decide the team to advance to the final, and it was unrealistic to decide the winner in 90 minutes, so the fans sitting in front of the TV need to be patient......

In the middle of the words, Toni Kroos took a corner kick from the right and Schweinsteiger headed Harvey Alonso nine meters in front of goal, and the ball was held in the arms of Casillas, who had chosen a good position.

Standing in front of the visiting team's dugout, Pep Guardiola sighed that he knew the huge benefits of Schweinsteiger's header.

But...... It's a pity.

Carlo Ancelotti didn't yell on the sidelines, the team had no problem defending corners, Schweinsteiger was right to get to the spot, but he didn't make a splash under Xavi Alonso's interference.

As long as it's not a defensive leak, it's not a problem.

※※※

In the corner where no one noticed, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone looked at Tang Zheng who was moving left and right near the center circle, thoughtfully.

It stands to reason that Tang Zheng should be more active in the 30-meter area of the attacking third zone, but during this time, he returned to a defensive midfield position, so Xavi Alonso and Modric had to retreat or position accordingly.

The problem caused by Tang Zheng's position retreat is very obvious, that is, Bayern dominates the rhythm of the game.

Pep Guardiola didn't notice anything, he followed his philosophy that Tiki-Taka was all about using various triangle passes to win attacking space, so it was normal to maintain control of the ball in successive triangle passes.

Immediately, the live director gave Guardiola a close-up of him pinching his stubbled chin, looking confident.

On the contrary, as time passed, Ancelotti became less calm.

Football is changing rapidly, and Bayern's offensive is becoming more and more fierce.

In the 19th minute, Bayern Munich's attack progressed from the centre to the right, as a series of foreshadowing had allowed right-back Raphinha to win plenty of crosses.

Raphinha crossed almost unmarked, and at the back post Mandzukic forced Ramos to head back to Toni Kroos in the middle as he stepped back.

Thankfully, Pepe moved very fast at his feet and Toni Kroos' half-volley hit Pepe and the ball bounced back to the edge of the box.

Luka Modric blocked Schweinsteiger in early stage and then handed it to Xavi Alonso, and Real Madrid switched from defending to attacking.

Tang Zheng immediately stepped forward to respond, and at the same time, his running position was different from the past, he did not run to the middle, but to the left.

Cristiano Ronaldo had a swap with Tang Zheng in terms of movement, and he came to the middle.

Xavi Alonso glanced up and kicked the ball directly to Tang Zheng, who was running forward along the left touchline.

Rahm and Robben made eye contact in defence, with the former retreating down the middle and Robben using his excellent speed to chase Tang Zheng, who received the ball.

Tang Zheng is very fast, but there is still a little gap compared to Robben, plus he has the ball at his feet, so he was caught up by Robben after crossing the halfway.

But this result was expected, so Tang Zheng was not surprised, but he slammed the ball back with his left foot at the moment Robben caught up, forcing Robben to brake sharply on the spot.

By the time Robben completed the sudden braking, Tang Zheng had already handed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, who was attacking on the left rib.

Lahm made the right choice as he turned and crossed in front of Cristiano Ronaldo to prevent Cristiano Ronaldo from accelerating.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo had no intention of speeding up the breakthrough, and he paused with his right foot on the football.

"Watch out for Don—"

Ram, who was defending Cristiano Ronaldo head-on, noticed that Tang Zheng was accelerating along the touchline, while Robben, who was chasing back, crouched in place.

Clearly, Ram's reminder was too late.

Because Tang Zheng has fully accelerated, and Robben still needs to start the process.

Although Raphinha had noticed Tang Zheng a long time ago, his speed was completely incomparable to Tang Zheng, and he didn't even pull people behind him.

At this moment, Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly attacked the left rib with a direct pass, and Lahm reminded that it was too late to stretch his leg......

The ball slipped between Lahm's legs and rolled against the turf towards the rib space between Raphinha and centre-back Dante

"Beautiful pass!"

It can be seen from the broadcast screen that the football is heading towards Tang Zheng's running route, so He Wei, the central 5 commentator, shouted violently.

Cristiano Ronaldo not only has superb shooting skills, but also passes the ball very accurately, and Tang Zheng, who is running at high speed, takes the ball forward, and then turns his head to look at the penalty area.

According to the pre-game counterattack arrangement, Tang Zheng passed the ball to the penalty area with a quick low pass with his left foot, and Dante, who subconsciously fell to the ground and put the shovel, did not shovel the football, and Boateng, who was defending Benzema in the middle, saw the football rolling at high speed, and his body instinctively fell to the ground to intercept, but Tang Zheng's pass was too fast, and the football had an acceleration on the wet grass, so the football leaked......

Suddenly, the Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu Stadium went crazy and erupted into a deafening loud chant: "Whoa-whoa-"

Benzema, who is completely unmarked, does not need to make any adjustments, because Tang Zheng's left-footed horizontal pass is very accurate, and what Benzema needs to do is very simple, that is, to extend his right foot and change the direction of the ball.

In a frenzied atmosphere, Benzema stretched out his right foot and kicked the ball towards the bottom right corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer needed time to move from the near end to the far end, but Benzema didn't give him time, and by the time he made a fall to the ground too late, the ball slammed into the snow-white net......
