Playing closed is a very normal thing for professional players, because sometimes the event is very important, and once you miss it, you will regret it, and Tang Zheng is the same.

Although he was a little resistant, he resolutely chose to take a shot to close it, so as to maximize the lack of impact on the second half of the game.

The fifteen-minute half-time break passed quickly, and players from both sides walked from their dressing rooms to the tunnel and then onto the pitch to prepare for the remaining 45 minutes.

"Whoa—"

The frenetic atmosphere at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin was noticeably higher than it was at the end of the first half.

Dortmund fans sitting in the neutral stands saw Tang Zheng walk out of the players' tunnel, and they raised their voices under the leadership of Hans Heisenberg: "Taaaaa

Tang Zheng, who stepped into the court, heard the shouts pouring down behind him, and subconsciously turned his head to look.

A crowd of Dortmund fans in yellow and black striped shirts, holding up banners, slogans and huge posters about themselves, were so moved that they raised their arms and clapped their hands to thank the fans for their support.

As for the specific thanks, we have to wait until the end of the game.

So no matter what, Tang Zheng must help Real Madrid beat Barcelona and win the Champions League!

"Beep~"

With the whistle of the referee on duty, Kakiel, the second half of the 2014-2015 Champions League final was announced!

Real Madrid, who had the advantage on the eoff, did not rush to attack, but passed the ball under the deliberate control of Tang Zheng, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos to bypass the high press that Barcelona had offered at the beginning of the second half.

After two rounds of scrambling in a row, the Barcelona players were well-trained to stand up and wait for Real Madrid to attack.

However, Real Madrid's first wave of attack in the second half did not pose a threat to the Barcelona defence, and James Rodriguez received a cross pass from Tang Zheng and fired an anti-aircraft gun from distance.

James Rodriguez was embarrassed to accomplish something, raising his right hand high towards Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, who had space to catch the ball, signalling that he had been reckless in handling the ball.

It is true that James Rodriguez is reckless in handling the ball and the chances would have been better if he had opted for passing.

But he has a good attitude and knows that he apologizes to his teammates as soon as he makes a mistake, which is very rare.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei's voice changed: "When Real Madrid is behind the score, it is understandable that Ronaldo is earnest, and his attitude is very good, and he realizes that he wasted offensive opportunities and knows to apologize to his teammates." ”

The implication is that Cristiano Ronaldo squandered his opportunities for granted, and there were no teammates in his eyes.

Of course, what He Wei wanted to convey was that he did not say it explicitly.

Barcelona kick off a short goal, and because Real Madrid did not press high, the Barcelona players who controlled the ball were able to quickly move through the half court and organize the attack.

As in the past first half, Messi returned to the midfield more often to help organize the attack and relieve the pressure on the midfield organization.

Barcelona solved the problem of lack of organization in the midfield, but relying on Neymar and Suarez in front was obviously not enough to deal with the Real Madrid backline.

Besides, Suarez only joined Barcelona last summer, and the tacit understanding with his teammates is not particularly high, and many times he is forcibly isolated by Real Madrid's defensive system, which makes him fall into a situation of individual combat.

Neymar has excellent skills at his feet and can create chances with his own dribbling, but Real Madrid's strategy in the second half was to shrink the defense, leaving Neymar not as much space to break through as in the first half, so Barcelona got a lot of time on the ball but could not directly threaten Casillas to guard the goal.

The scoreboard at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin showed that Barcelona was still 1-0 ahead of Real Madrid, and Barcelona were not in a hurry to increase their attacking efforts to expand the score, because Real Madrid's quick counterattack in the first half gave them a deep impression.

During the halftime break, coach Enrique particularly told the players not to blindly strengthen the attack in the second half, pay attention to the position, and it should not be themselves who are anxious, but Real Madrid, who is behind the score!

Compared to Real Madrid's ability to counter-attack in front, Barcelona are clearly better in terms of speed.

In other words, Enrique hopes to expand the score as much as possible through positional attack, and even if he can't expand the score, he can return to the defense at the first time from attack to defense.

When Real Madrid, who are eager to equalize, switch from attack to defense, that is Barcelona's real chance to extend the score!

In Enrique's words, who rules that Barcelona, who are good at playing pass-and-control football, cannot play quick counter-attacks?

※※※

At the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid focused on solid defense, until the game entered the fifth minute, Tang Zheng's position had an obvious premise, Real Madrid's offensive and defensive conversion accelerated, and the offensive slowly increased.

Barcelona manager Luis Enrique quickly saw the changes in Real Madrid's attack and defence, Rakitic was closer to Busquets and looked more like a double midfielder, while Iniesta and the retreating Messi formed a double forward to strengthen the deep defense in the middle.

Messi, who has never needed to defend, will actively return to defend during the period when Real Madrid strengthens the attack, and even recycles to the ribs of the penalty area.

You must know that Messi has absolute privileges in Barcelona, and he does not need to work so hard at all.

Obviously, in the 2014-2015 season, after missing the league championship and the Copa del Rey in succession, Messi is very eager to win the most important Champions League title, so as to maintain the competition with Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Enrique's tactical changes worked, with Real Madrid's attack not substantially testing the Barcelona backline, and Real Madrid only recovered some time on the ball.

From the original 42% possession ratio to 45%, if the current offensive can be maintained, the possession ratio is likely to become 50%, and even beat Barcelona to lead the possession ratio.

It is a very dangerous thing to be scoreless, Tang Zheng is keenly aware of this, and decisively asks for the ball when Modric and Toni Kroos enhance the rib pass, and then divert the direction of attack by increasing the number of attackers locally and then making long passes.

In any game, make reasonable use of the width of the court.

Marcelo and Carvajal both have strong crosses and can deliver precise crosses to Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema, and Tang Zheng will sometimes enter the box appropriately to participate in headers, increasing Real Madrid's control in the Barcelona penalty area.

Pique is more than 1.9 meters tall, and the same is true for Busquets in the penalty area, but another central defender, Mascherano, is enough to choke, less than 1.8 meters tall, basically in the coverage of Tang Zheng, Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema, he can only stare dryly, and he can't grab the landing point at all.

This is also a concern for Enrique, but Mathieu in the same position is not very reassuring, and the choice of central defender can only be Mascherano, who is experienced and rarely makes mistakes.

It was still very difficult to get the cross into Ter Stegen's goal.

After all, Marcelo and Carvajal's crosses did not fly to the best landing point, and being able to grab the landing point is completely a reflection of the ability of Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng, and has nothing to do with the quality of the cross.

Tang Zheng's attacking changes increased the number of shots Real Madrid had throughout the game, and Messi was not far behind, and his breakthrough points were often a threat to the Real Madrid backline.

Between the 50th and 60th minutes, the most mentioned names by the commentators in the commentary seats were Tang Zheng and Messi.

During the period when Tang Zheng and Messi were active, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Suarez, and Benzema completely became the best background.

However, Real Madrid had yet to equalise in the last fifteen minutes of the second half, and Ancelotti was a little unable to sit still.

Isco replaces James Rodriguez.

James Rodriguez was in a bad mood after being substituted in the Champions League final, believing he was already doing well, at least better than Cristiano Ronaldo, who squandered his chances.

Ay~

Tang Zheng took the initiative to walk over to comfort his friend James Rodriguez: "Hames, you played very well today, you are still young, there will be opportunities in the future, and you will be the real protagonist at that time! Don't think too much! You are the best partner I have met since the beginning of my career!"

This sentence is definitely Tang Zheng's heartfelt words, because when they were trying out for Boca Juniors, the two cooperated tacitly without cooperating, and that feeling was innate, so Tang Zheng believes that in the future, as James Rodriguez adapts to Real Madrid's overall tactics, he will play better.

James Rodriguez knew that this was the comfort of his friend Tang Zheng, and tapped his chin: "I know, Don, behave well! I believe that you will definitely become a well-deserved brother at the Bernabeu!"

"Hopefully!"

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and Tang Zheng is not at the level of a soldier, with the improvement of his status in world football, he also has a higher pursuit, so he gently patted James Rodriguez's right shoulder and said with a smile.

Recently, his agent Rodrigo has been discussing with Florentino about the treatment of modifying the contract, because with Tang Zheng's current contribution, it is difficult to correspond to the contract signed two years ago, so at least in terms of annual salary, he must surpass Cristiano Ronaldo!

If you want to get a higher salary, you must show a consistent, stable and efficient performance.

Although James Rodriguez did not put in an eye-catching performance in this game, the Real Madrid fans in the stands still stood up and applauded him.

※※※

Carlo Ancelotti's intention to bring on Isco was clear, to use his dribbling ability to create chances up front.

His playmaking ability may be a bit behind Tang Zheng, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos, but his ability to handle the ball in the front court is very strong, and it takes at least three players to break the ball, and it is accompanied by a foul.

Real Madrid have been able to come back from behind in recent times, thanks to Isco, who has been fouled and has resulted in a lot of direct free-kicks.

Ancelotti's tactical ideas are on Enrique's radar, but there is a limit to what he can do, and the execution still has to rely on the players on the pitch.

Stand in position, don't blindly go out of your feet, everyone knows, many times there is just no way.

Formed a breakthrough and did not foul?

The consequences are unimaginable!

However, Carlo Ancelotti has his own plan, and Enrique has his own ladder over the wall.

Real Madrid have free-kick masters Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, and Barcelona also have Messi and Neymar.

When it comes to breakthrough ability, Messi doesn't say that he is the first in the world, and there is no problem with the top three.

When Real Madrid attacked, Isco increased the number of breakthroughs, and when Barcelona attacked, Messi and Neymar did the same, relying on their individual ability to create set-piece opportunities, because anyway, there was no way to test Casillas in the positional attack, and the number of attackers was limited, and free kicks in front of the court were a means that could be used in a limited way.

Messi's sluggish performance in the past game with Tang Zheng is largely due to his self-confidence frustration, Messi, who did not look directly at failure, and Messi, who had no way out, chose to break through and look directly at failure, and will break through again after being successfully defended by Tang Zheng, and more decisively!

Slowly, Tang Zheng felt tremendous pressure.

He realized that the current Messi is the real Messi!

Messi's successive breakthroughs helped Barcelona get two well-placed direct free-kick opportunities, one on the left and one on the right, completed by Neymar and Messi respectively.

Neymar's crosshairs are not very good, and Messi, who is in excellent form, is full of crosshairs, and his direct free kick in the 66th minute smashed directly on the crossbar, startling the Real Madrid fans in the stands into a cold sweat.

Although Real Madrid has a strong ability to reverse the game this season, the Champions League final is different from the past La Liga Copa del Rey and Champions League semi-finals, and more importantly, Barcelona, who are leading the score, cannot make the same mistake as in the Copa del Rey final!

Barcelona's offensive has become more threatening as Messi returns to form, making Real Madrid a little weak in attack and gradually tilting their attention towards defence.

"That's not the way to do it!"

With Messi's long-range shot after cutting inside missed the goal post, Tang Zheng, who was looking at Messi's back, crossed his hands on his waist and frowned.

It's good to say that the score is drawn, and then defending after falling behind is useless!

But Messi is in such good shape, everyone's attention is gradually tilted to defense, and they don't know what to do for a while.

Players who didn't pay much attention to the game before the game are gradually feeling inadequate, and they are slowly realizing that the Champions League final is different from every game they have experienced this season, and it seems that it is difficult to score goals in the current situation!

Equalizer?

The difficulty factor is very high!

Tang Zheng, who realized the problem, gradually made up his mind that he wanted to increase the time he spent holding the ball when switching from defense to offense!

According to the pre-match tactics, it was already difficult to break through Barcelona's defense, and the most appropriate changes had to be made according to the situation of the game!

Messi, whose self-confidence has been restored, chose to break through again, but his breakthrough route has a number of Real Madrid players, so he chooses to pass.

He saw Neymar running to an open position and decisively chose to pass the ball with the outside of his left foot, but what he never expected was that Ramos went around the front defense, appeared on Messi's passing route, and cut off the football.

Tang Zheng was keenly aware that the opportunity was coming, and ran forward as soon as possible, and at the same time waved at Ramos for the ball: "Hey~ Sergio!"
