The 2014 World Cup in Brazil Asian qualifiers ended in June this year, and the Chinese team scheduled two warm-up matches during the international break last month, so the Football Association did not arrange a warm-up match for the national team in October.

Not to mention the fatigue of the Chinese players who stayed abroad, Guangzhou Evergrande, as a major international player, is attacking the AFC Champions League, so the Football Association did not arrange a warm-up match for the national team based on various factors.

At the same time, the Brazil World Cup Europe, America, North America, and Africa qualifiers have entered the final two rounds of competition, which means that whether you can get a ticket to next year's World Cup depends on the performance of the last two games.

The German national team, which has many friends of Tang Zheng, has long been ahead of the group and qualified from the group ahead of schedule, and the national team of the current club's Spanish teammates is a bit troublesome, they are in the same group as the strong French team, and they have the same number of points as the French team with one round less.

Qualification should not be a problem, though, with Spain's remaining two opponents being Belarus and Georgia, while France are playing Finland at home.

The lack of a direct confrontation also means that defending champions Spain will not make mistakes on their own initiative, and the situation will not change in qualifying for Group I.

Moreover, the remaining two games are at home of Spain, so the chances of an upset are infinitely close to zero.

However, what worried the Spanish fans was that Spain won 2-1 at home to Belarus, but the match played four days later was completely reassuring to the Spanish fans.

Spain at the Carlos Belmont Stadium took an early two-goal lead and finally beat Georgia 3-0 to top Group I with a three-point advantage and advance to the main match of next year's World Cup in Brazil.

It is worth mentioning that Spain has been unbeaten in the World Cup qualifiers for 21 years, which is amazing, and it is truly the king of the world preliminaries.

At the end of the international break in October, the teams that qualified for the World Cup in Brazil have largely settled, with 24 direct qualification spots being created, with the remaining seven to be decided through the play-offs, excluding hosts Brazil.

Among them, Europe has four places to enter the World Cup finals through the play-offs, Africa has one place, and the remaining two places are Asia vs. Americas and Oceania vs. Central and North America.

During the international break, the Chinese sports media were not idle, and they watched the play-offs of the South Korean team like a good show.

Uzbekistan has never been a tough team, even very tricky.

In addition, even if South Korea beat Uzbekistan to get 0.5 qualifying places in Asia, they will have to compete with Uruguay, who finished fifth in the South American qualifiers.

Not to mention the World Football League rankings of the two teams, the difference in strength between them is also quite obvious.

Even though the Korean media wanted to scold her mother, they couldn't find a breakthrough.

Recently, Tang Zheng has not had a good time in Real Madrid, and has attracted the attention of the mainstream media in Europe, which is only a personal problem of the players, and it cannot reach the national team level at all, and the Chinese team has obtained a direct qualification for the World Cup in Brazil.

During the two international breaks, Tang Zheng spent time at the Beldebebas training base.

Real Madrid is a world-class giant club, and the players in the team are either the main core of the national teams or indispensable players, and no matter how bad they are, they are also rotation players, so only Tang Zheng is training in the first team at the Beldebebas training ground.

He was the only one who trained during the international break, so he stood out.

While the Spanish media are paying attention to the World Cup qualifiers of the Spanish national team, there are also reports that Tang Zheng used the gap time during the international break to practice, and is a model for professional players.

Of course, Tang Zheng's attention is not only on training, he has to fly to Lyon, France when he has time, and spend a romantic day with his girlfriend Zhao Lina.

As the international break ended, Tang's attention shifted.

Because an authoritative domestic media broke the news, saying that the Football Association has negotiated a breakup fee with the head coach of the national football team Camacho, and the new head coach will be selected in the next month, and the most promising candidate to become the head coach of the national team is Silver Fox Lippi, that is, Marcelo Lippi, who is now leading Guangzhou Evergrande to the AFC Champions League semifinals.

In addition, Bielsa, who is currently idle at home, and former Atletico Madrid manager Manzano are also a big hit.

This news is very good for Tang Zheng, he is now difficult to endure Camacho's poor tactical arrangement, and he has not found Camacho's shortcomings in all aspects at the beginning of cooperation, and it is not difficult to find that his tactics are outdated and stubborn after the real cooperation.

Regardless of whether it is Lippi or Bielsa who will take over the future head coach of the national team, or Manzano, the coaching resume and ability are enough to throw off Camacho a few streets.

In Tang Zheng's mind, the most ideal head coach is the 'madman' Bielsa, as a striker, he is fluent in his bones is offensive blood, but many times the existence of a sense of responsibility has to be sacrificed, so Tang Zheng is very consistent with the concept of 'madman' Bielsa.

※※※

Tang Zheng's attention naturally cannot be kept on the Chinese men's football team, and he still has to prepare for the next Champions League group stage and national derby.

Because Tang Zheng changed two yellows and one red in the league before the international break, he was automatically suspended for one round, and Real Madrid Club also tried to appeal, but the appeal failed and the suspension was maintained.

Real Madrid's home league game against Malaga will be Isco's first face against his former club since his move to Real Madrid, and he will replace the suspended Tang Zheng as the starting midfielder.

Perhaps for the first time against his former club, Isco didn't play well in the first half.

Málaga has not made a lot of changes to the squad this season, the players are very knowledgeable about Isco's technical characteristics, so his performance has been greatly limited, and most of the players in the squad have participated in the international break, and the game is not exciting enough.

In the first half, the two sides fought 0:0, and Yang 5 commentator He Wei commented: "Although the tacit understanding between Tang Zheng and Ronaldo is not high, which has a great impact on Real Madrid's offensive, but without Tang Zheng's Real Madrid offensive obviously lacks strategy, Isco is full of aura, but he does not have Tang Zheng's strategy, and his reading of the game is not good enough." ”

Commentator Zhang Lu said with a smile: "Tang Zheng's personal ability has been recognized by the world, and he led Dortmund to win the treble by himself, as long as he is given enough trust and time, it is only a matter of time before Real Madrid wins the tenth Champions League." ”

At this time, Tang Zheng sat in the VIP seat of the Bernabeu in casual clothes, occasionally interacting with fans, which looked very natural.

Actually, no, he is now concerned about the team.

In the ninth round of the 2013-2014 La Liga season, Real Madrid's home match against Malaga was the first game to start, which means that Real Madrid's victory in the game can temporarily narrow the gap between them.

On the other hand, not being able to close the score with the first game will be a heavy blow to the next national derby.

According to Tang Zheng's observation, the overall strength of Malaga has decreased to a certain extent compared with Málaga, which entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League last season, but its defensive ability seems to be stronger.

No one expected that less than a minute into the second half, Di Maria curled a left-footed cross from 30 yards on the right near the touchline, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who flanked him in the middle, jumped high but failed to reach the football, but it flicked to goalkeeper Caballero, and the ball bounced off the ground and flew into the far corner of the goal.

Real Madrid struggled to take a 1-0 lead with a windfall goal.

Luck can often determine the direction of a game, and Real Madrid's home match against Malaga in the league fully interprets luck to decide the game.

It's not that Real Madrid need luck to win, but it takes an opportunity for Real Madrid to win.

Real Madrid took the lead and played more relaxed, controlling the tempo of the game with their strong technical superiority.

Málaga, who were trailing by the scoreline, wanted to step up their attack, but Real Madrid, who were at the Bernabeu Stadium, played with ease, using familiar crosses and cuts to control the game.

As the clock ticked on, there was less and less time left in the game, and the away team Malaga played more and more impatiently.

Isco, who didn't perform well throughout the first half, took advantage of the impatience of his former team-mates in attack to get past several people in the box, and when he picked up his right foot to shoot, he was tripped by centre-back Weleton.

The referee on duty blew the whistle decisively and pointed his finger at the penalty spot.

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't waste the chance and made it all in one fell swoop to extend the score to two goals.

With a Champions League group game at home to Juventus next week, Real Madrid, who are leading by two goals, have begun to close their ranks with a build-up to control their position and counter-attack.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated the visiting Malaga 2-0 at home thanks to a surprise from Angel Di Maria and a penalty kick from Cristiano Ronaldo, making it two consecutive league wins.

Perhaps Real Madrid's luck in the ninth round of the league has not run out, with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, who have won eight consecutive league games, not winning in the following leagues.

Barcelona did not win against Osasuna at the El Sadar Stadium, and both sides were scoreless for 90 minutes, ending the game 0-0.

Atletico Madrid, who visited the El Prat Stadium in Corneira, Catalonia, suffered their first defeat of the season with a 1-0 defeat to Espanyol.

In the ninth round of the 2013-2014 La Liga season, Real Madrid, who beat Malaga at home, narrowed the gap from five points to two and three points.

In this way, the 167th national derby of La Liga at Camp Nou in the next round will be full of suspense.

Real Madrid, with seven wins, one draw and one loss in nine games, with 22 points, is only three points behind Barcelona, who have 25 points from nine games, eight wins and one draw.

According to the rules of La Liga with the same points, if the two teams have the same points, the relationship between the two sides will be seen first, and then the goal difference, which means that if Real Madrid beats Barcelona at Camp Nou, Real Madrid will surpass Barcelona in the rankings.

If luck is enough and Atletico Madrid fail to win, Real Madrid could well move to the top of the league table on goal difference.

Of course, the script is written like this, and whether it can be played like this depends on the Real Madrid players to fight in the 167th national derby of La Liga in the future.

There is never a pie in the sky, and even if it does, it will be a knife.

Although Barcelona has changed its new head coach this season, its combat effectiveness has increased instead of decreasing.

Messi, Iniesta and other stars are in full swing, and this summer has the Brazilian genius Neymar joined, and the overall performance is quite good.

If it weren't for the large number of Barcelona internationals, who are away from home just after the international break, manager Martino would have to take into account the third round of the Champions League group stage away to AC Milan in the middle of next week, and it is very likely that he will win nine consecutive league games.

Before the 167th national derby in La Liga, Real Madrid and Barcelona have to face strong opponents from Serie A, so they dare not slack off, and the attention of the Spanish media is not all focused on the first leg of the 2013-2014 Spanish national derby that starts next weekend, but more on the Spanish-Italian showdown in the middle of next week.

As in previous Champions League group stages, the third and fourth rounds are back-to-back, and if the crucial two rounds of the group stage are not played well, although it will not make the two Spanish giants miss the knockout round, it will definitely increase the difficulty of themselves.

Last season's Real Madrid was the best proof of this, when everyone thought that Real Madrid would come out on top even if they were in the group of death.

The result?

Dortmund led by Tang Zheng won the first place in the group undefeated, almost defeated Real Madrid in the back-to-back group stage of home and away, and staged a miracle in the final to win the final Champions League.

Together, it all means that no game should be underestimated.

Especially Juventus and AC Milan, they are both world-renowned giants, whether it is Real Madrid or Barcelona, they do not underestimate each other's capital.

So neither Carlo Ancelotti nor Martino focused too much on the weekend's national derby, focusing on their respective Champions League group stage opponents.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's Champions League matchday.

The only difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona is that Real Madrid play at home and don't have to travel hard, while Barcelona need to fly to the Apennine Peninsula to take on AC Milan at the San Siro Stadium.

It is worth mentioning that the first-team training ground at the Valdebebas training base has the scene that Real Madrid players want to see the most, and the two superstars Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo no longer ignore each other as in the past, and do not actively seek cooperation in training.

Now their cooperation is not very tacit, and they can at least understand what the other party wants to express.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti was the happiest, and the best tactics he had conceived since becoming Real Madrid manager finally had the possibility of implementation.

Outside of training, Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo are the kind of players who like to take the initiative to practice, so they take the initiative to increase each other's cooperation in a small area after breaking that layer of window paper.

Tang Zheng has a feeling of returning to Dortmund, and he has endless small-scale cooperation with his teammates, and he is very comfortable to play.

The same is true for Cristiano Ronaldo, perhaps because there is a technical gap between Benzema and Rooney, and now he and Tang Zheng have a special tacit feeling that they can only have with Rooney......

In addition, Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo's strengthened tie, and head coach Ancelotti gave the players a gag order.

For the 167th National Derby, you have to be prepared!
