Chapter 95 New Real Madrid

The 2016 European Cup in France has reached its most tense moment. At the Stade de France, the host France team led by Griezmann and the Portuguese national team led by Cristiano Ronaldo are preparing for the final of the 15th European Cup.

However, the Portuguese national team led by Cristiano Ronaldo is not the top in Europe, not even first-rate. Portugal, which is in the transition period between the old and the new, can only be regarded as the second-rate in Europe. However, being able to advance to the European Cup finals also proves their strength. and luck.

They were winless in three games in the group stage, and even failed to win within 90 minutes before defeating Wales in the semi-finals. Therefore, not many people were optimistic about facing the impressive host nation in the finals.

Of course, it's just that people don't like it.

The European Cup has had too many unpredictable results. In the 1992 European Cup, the Danish team entered the finals as a substitute and created a Danish fairy tale. In the 2004 European Cup in Portugal, the Greek national team created a Greek myth. Then... Portugal also has hope. The Stade de France defeated France to win the European Cup.

The Stade de France can accommodate 80,000 fans. The French team entering the European Cup finals at their home court naturally attracted a large number of domestic fans to watch the finals. Therefore, many people believe that the French team sitting at home will defeat Cristia under the cheers of the home fans. Portugal led by Ronaldo.

Not long after the game started, only eight minutes in, Payet actively made a move, but Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't avoid it. His left knee collided hard with Payet's right knee, and he fell to the ground in pain.

After a short treatment, Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the field, but at the 17th minute of the game, he sat on the grass without confrontation, and when he returned to the field, his left knee was wrapped with a thick bandage. Keep playing.

However, Cristiano Ronaldo, who had played for less than ten minutes, shook his index finger at the broadcast screen to indicate that he could not continue the game.

What was different from the previous two times was that he angrily took off the captain's armband, threw it on the ground, and then hammered the ground. His eyes were covered with mist, and tears fell on the field.

This... is not the first European Cup final of his career, but it is very likely to be the last European Cup final of his career. Therefore, if he cannot persist in such a crucial game, it is inevitable that he will lose some control over his emotions.

Tang Zheng, who was watching the game from the VIP seats, watched Cristiano Ronaldo being carried off the field on a stretcher. He shook his head helplessly and sighed, feeling sorry for Cristiano Ronaldo.

Playing for the country is the game that every professional player with patriotic sentiments most hopes to participate in, especially a gold-rich game like the European Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo is Portugal’s top star.

It is also Portugal's battering ram and core attack point.

His injury will undoubtedly bring great difficulties to the Portuguese national team.

At this time, the hanging hearts of the French fans in the stands fell. In their view, Portugal without Cristiano Ronaldo was a beast without fangs, a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Many on-site commentators also believe that Portugal, which is in the transition period between the old and the new and lacks strong Mesozoic players, will find it difficult to defeat the French team, which is getting better and better, at its home court.

However, there are many factors that affect the game. Portuguese coach Santos simply defended with all his strength when Cristiano Ronaldo was injured and unable to persist.

Defense doesn't win games, but... it can not lose games.

When the game entered overtime, the physical fitness of both sides reached the critical point, and more of the struggle was willpower...

Portugal defended with all its strength, and the French team entered a half-time offensive drill. However, the Portuguese team, which defended with all its strength, performed very well. It was not at all as miserable as it was in the World Cup in Brazil two years ago. On the contrary, it became more and more courageous as it fought.

Until the end of the first half, the French team, which had the advantage of being at home, failed to break the deadlock.

In the second half, the side changed sides and the French team attacked again, and Portugal had to continue to defend with all its strength.

It is a pity that the French team has a far leading number of shots but cannot convert them into goals. The fans watching are extremely worried.

As the game entered the 70th minute, the French team's physical fitness gradually began to decline. The Portuguese team ushered in a precious breathing opportunity and posed a threat to Lloris's goalkeeping, which caused the French team to not be so unscrupulous in attacking.

At this stage of the game, if a goal is scored, it will most likely be a winner.

Even if France has the home advantage, it will be difficult to equalize the score when falling behind, so they have to play cautiously.

So at the end of 90 minutes of regular time, the score did not change, and the two sides entered overtime.

No one expected that Portugal, which was not optimistic, would enter overtime when captain Cristiano Ronaldo was replaced due to injury. Therefore, the stance of many on-site commentators changed and they believed that there would be no Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo's Portugal is more united.

Perhaps if we unite as one, the French Miracle will happen.

Tang Zheng, who was sitting in the VIP seat, had a strange feeling. He felt that Portugal might defeat the host France team at the Stade de France...

In the third minute of the second half of overtime, forward Edel was dribbling horizontally on the left side of the attack, and suddenly shot angrily from about 30 meters away from the goal. The football quickly rolled against the turf towards the lower left corner of the goal.

France goalkeeper Lloris's vision was disturbed to some extent. By the time his body fell to the ground, it was already too late. The football hit the ground and hit the net in the lower left corner...

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—"

The Stade de France resounded with long-lost cheers from Portuguese fans. Cristiano Ronaldo, whose left knee was thickly bandaged, raised his arms and shouted excitedly, and embraced his teammates on the bench passionately.

If nothing else happens, Edel's goal is likely to bring a heavy championship trophy to the Portuguese national team!

There is still time left for the French team, but the long period of winning and not scoring has caused the French players to decline in physical fitness. Now they are suddenly behind in the score and are exhausted mentally and physically.

The Portuguese team, which is leading by the score, is fully defensive, because they still have a lot of room for maneuver. As long as they hold on to the score in the remaining game time, they can win the first European Cup championship in the history of the national team.

No matter what happens, they can also enter a penalty shootout and make a last-ditch effort to win the European Cup.

However, the French team did not score until the English referee Clattenberg blew the whistle for the end of the game. In the end, Portugal relied on forward Eder's goal in the second half of overtime to defeat the host France and win the team's history. The first European Cup title.

※※※

The European Cup in France came to an end at the Stade de France, and the European transfer market is in full swing.

In addition, the replacement of famous coaches has also brought huge effects.

Carlo Ancelotti, who was fired by Real Madrid, became the head coach of Bayern Munich, the former Bayern coach Guardiola became the head coach of Manchester City, and the former Chelsea coach Mourinho became the head coach of Manchester United...

In the summer of 2016, Real Madrid's actions in the European transfer market were still modest, but they attracted attention.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who led the Portuguese national team to win the European Cup this summer, returned to Manchester United, and the price Manchester United paid was Bell + 20 million euros in cash.

In addition, Real Madrid also bought back Morata for 30 million euros through a buy-back clause to enhance the offensive strength of the frontcourt.

After all, with Cristiano Ronaldo leaving, certain adjustments need to be made to the team's offensive lineup.

Until the start of training camp in the new season, Real Madrid had no new signings, but it did a good job in slimming down. Cheryshev, who caused Real Madrid to be eliminated from the Copa del Rey last season, returned to Villarreal for 7 million euros. you.

Melander was sold to Valencia for 1.5 million euros, Mayoral was loaned to Wolfsburg for free, and Arbeloa's contract expired...

Real Madrid has four games to play before the new 2016-2017 season, including three International Champions Cup games in the United States. The last one is related to the contract signing of Toni Kroos from Bayern in the summer of 2014. It was a warm-up match against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.

It is worth mentioning that with the return of Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United, Tang Zheng naturally became the first brother of Real Madrid. It felt strange for him to return to the Valdebebas training base because neither the staff nor his teammates treated him well. There was a subtle change in his attitude.

But Tang Zheng is still the same Tang Zheng. Zidane, who will be the coach of Real Madrid in the new season, has already drafted a strategy with Tang Zheng as the absolute core, allowing the players to adapt as soon as possible, and then launch an attack on various championships in the 2016-2017 season!

Since Real Madrid's participation in the International Champions Cup was not complete in terms of personnel, the results in the three games were not ideal, but the media and fans were very optimistic about Real Madrid's results in the 2016-2017 season.

Why?

Real Madrid will have more changes in tactics in the new season!

Cristiano Ronaldo's departure brought Bale and 20 million euros to Real Madrid. Bale's foot skills are not particularly good, but he is extremely fast and is a good player in quick counterattacks.

Real Madrid's performance dropped significantly last season. Apart from the disagreement between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, a certain reason was that the tactics were too fixed, too lax and lacking in changes, especially when the two superstars had no intention of contacting each other.

Well, with the arrival of Bale, who led Wales to the European Cup semi-finals this summer, Real Madrid has greatly improved in quick counterattacks.

Real Madrid did not have good results in three International Champions Cup games, but the connection between Tang Zheng and Bale is eye-catching. Real Madrid fans believe that as Bale integrates into Real Madrid's overall tactics, Real Madrid's results in the new season will definitely surprise people!

The first round of the 2016-2017 La Liga season kicked off at 3 pm local time in Spain, and Real Madrid's first league opponent was Real Sociedad, and they challenged Real Sociedad as a guest.

Bell, who had previously shown excellent chemistry with Tang Zheng, shined in his first La Liga match, scoring two goals and helping Real Madrid defeat Real Sociedad with three goals as a guest.

However, Tang Zheng received the most attention in this game. His one goal and two assists were the foundation of Real Madrid's away win.

Real Madrid is without Cristiano Ronaldo. Tang Zheng has become Real Madrid's well-deserved number one star and tactical core, and he has also performed accordingly to prove his name to the world. He is capable enough to obtain everything he has now!

On the other end, Cristiano Ronaldo, who returned to Manchester United, performed equally well wearing No. 7. He scored a hat-trick in the first round, helping Manchester United beat Bournemouth 4-0 as a guest and get a good start in the league.

The media is very imaginative. In their opinion, Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo are competing in different leagues.

It is a pity that Manchester United missed the top four in the league in the 2015-2016 season and was unable to participate in the UEFA Champions League in the 2016-2017 season. Therefore, the media and fans could not see Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo competing in the Champions League.

The distanced confrontation between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo certainly attracts attention, but the end of the summer transfer window is even more attractive.

After three seasons, transfers worth more than 100 million pounds have occurred again.

Manchester United, which has spent huge sums of money to introduce Cristiano Ronaldo, Bailly, Mkhitaryan and Ibrahimovic this summer, has once again become the focus of major media attention. They took them away from Juventus at a cost of 100 million pounds. Pogba.

So, a chain reaction occurred.

With a lot of money, Juventus spent a lot of money to buy Argentina international Higuain from Naples. They bought Pjanic from Roma for 32 million euros and Pjaca for 23 million euros...

Tang Zheng's performance in the first round of the league gave people a very reassuring feeling. He could advance, attack, retreat or defend.

In addition to being able to directly help the team solve offensive problems, it can also solve the difficulties encountered on the defensive end when the team is defensive.

Therefore, Real Madrid, who were in excellent form in the first round of the league, continued their amazing form under the leadership of Tang Zheng until the ninth round. Under the leadership of Tang Zheng, they won nine consecutive victories. The team scored an astonishing thirty-three goals. Conceded two goals, showing the championship status of the new season.

The same was true in the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2016-2017 season, with three consecutive victories and ranking first in the group.

If nothing unexpected happens, Real Madrid will once again top the group and advance to the top 16.

Such a suffocatingly powerful Real Madrid can't help but remind people of the perverted Real Madrid that won the Triple Crown in the 2014-2015 season.

Facts have proved that Real Madrid quickly returned to the top under the leadership of 27-year-old Tang Zheng.

In the 12th round of the La Liga Madrid derby in the 2016-2017 season, and in the 2016-2017 La Liga El Clasico, Real Madrid won the two direct battles for the championship in related games, and they won it as a guest.

Tang Zheng personally contributed three goals and two assists in the two games, helping Real Madrid defeat Atletico Madrid and Barcelona 3:1 and 4:2 respectively in away games.

Before the winter break, Real Madrid had achieved astonishing results of 15 wins, one draw and 46 points in 16 rounds of the league. It was six points ahead of Atletico Madrid, who was second in the league, and eight points ahead of Barcelona, ​​who was third in the league.

In the last three rounds of the Champions League group stage, Real Madrid was distracted, with two wins and one draw, but this did not prevent them from advancing to the top 16 of the Champions League as the group leader.

No one thought that Real Madrid, which had no glory except the Club World Cup last season, would return to its peak in the 2016-2017 season, with no defeat in sixteen league rounds, six Champions League group matches and four Copa del Rey games... 8)
