Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 23 Enhanced Lampard

Ancelotti was not relieved when he learned from the fitness coach Giovanni Mauri that Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo appeared in the hotel gym after a day off. On the contrary, he was very worried. Fast updates and no ads.

Thinking of the conflict that happened at the Baldbebas training base a few days ago, I was even more afraid.

However, hearing Giovanni Mauri say that Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo hadn't had any communication in the gym for half an hour, he felt a little helpless while letting out a sigh of relief.

The current Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo are not much better than strangers, if this situation continues, it will be very unfavorable for the upcoming La Liga.

At the same time, Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, who were in the gym, were engaged in an air-to-air competition in full swing.

It's like an endurance race, whoever can't do it first is the loser.

Until the two were exhausted, there was no winner...

Cristiano Ronaldo was lying on the expensive floor panting heavily, he raised his head with difficulty, and looked at Tang Zheng, who was also not much better, and a strange feeling arose in his heart.

Tang Zheng didn't lie on the floor, but leaned his back against the wall, feeling the burning sensation from his lungs.

This feeling has not been 'enjoyed' for a long time.

At this time, he caught someone looking at him out of the corner of his eye, so he subconsciously looked up and met Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes.

Tang Zheng grinned, showing admiring eyes, because he hadn't met anyone who could compete with his training intensity for a long time.

But Cristiano Ronaldo quickly lay back and continued to catch his breath.

Tang Zheng, who was already used to this kind of reaction from Cristiano Ronaldo, did not appear embarrassed. He stood up with difficulty holding the fitness equipment, and then began to relax seriously.

Just after high-intensity training, the first thing to do is not to rest, but to relax, otherwise the body will not be able to bear it the next day.

About half an hour later, Tang Zheng returned to his hotel room.

After taking a shower, it was still early for lunch, so he took out his iPhone 5 to surf the Internet and read instant news when he had nothing to do.

However, Tang Zheng was depressed because the current news was so speechless, he just appeared in the hotel gym where he was staying with Cristiano Ronaldo unexpectedly at the same time, and he could become a hot topic on Twitter.

What is even more speechless is the comments on the Twitter content of the hotel where Real Madrid is staying. There are all kinds of strange comments.

Only you can't think of, there are no comments you can't see.

Not long after, roommate Isco returned to the room, and he asked Tang Zheng excitedly: "Tang, you and Cristiano Ronaldo didn't have any troubles in the gym, did you? Like doing something?"

"Hey~ Can't you use your 14K brain to think about it?" Tang Zheng rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Do you think it's possible?"

Isco shrugged his shoulders and said, "Why is it impossible? Your expression looked like you were going to kill someone that day."

"Go, go, you know it's that day? It's been so long now." Tang Zheng said.

"By the way, how did you guys stay in the gym for two hours? What are you doing?" Isco's voice changed, like a curious baby.

Tang Zheng was speechless about Isco's curiosity, but he still kept the story short so as not to spread rumors.

Two minutes later, Isco gave the original expression: "I really admire you! I chose to compete in the gym instead of relaxing during the great vacation."

"I'll correct it again, it's a coincidence!" Tang Zheng raised his right fist.

"That's right, it's a coincidence! It's not an appointment." Looking at Tang Zheng's large body, Isco quickly raised his hands in surrender.

The next morning, the Real Madrid team flew to Miami, the last stop of the International Champions Cup.

The first International Champions Cup game at Sun Life Stadium in Miami was a contest between Juventus and Inter Milan. The two sides fought 1:1 in 90 minutes. In the end, Inter Milan won 9:8 in the penalty shootout and became Seventh place in the first International Champions Cup.

Valencia defeated Everton 1:0 to become fifth, and AC Milan defeated Los Angeles Galaxy 2:0 to obtain third place, which means that the losing Juventus, Everton and Los Angeles Galaxy respectively obtained eighth place , sixth and fourth.

The final will be held at 7:00 pm local time on August 9th in the United States at Sun Life Stadium.

Previously, Chelsea and Real Madrid had won two consecutive victories and advanced to the final with a goal difference advantage. This International Champions Cup final attracted a lot of fans, especially Chinese fans.

Tang Zheng performed well in the first two warm-up matches of Real Madrid, which gave a resounding slap to those trolls who questioned Tang Zheng's inability to integrate into Real Madrid, and at the same time made Chinese fans feel great pride.

Real Madrid is the best club in the twentieth century, a star-studded Galaxy battleship, if Tang Zheng can fully integrate into the team, it will give him greater confidence in conquering the tricky Bernabéu fans in the future.

In Real Madrid's preparation for the International Champions Cup final against Chelsea, Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng looked calm.

Those paparazzi who have been focusing on them all the time are very speechless, after all, for them, the more trouble Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo make, the more profit they will get.

Conversely, the calmer you are, the more you lose.

But this kind of calm is a good thing in the eyes of the Real Madrid coaching staff.

why?

The current Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo are more like strangers.

How are friends formed?

Haven't started to develop from strangers?

Therefore, in Ancelotti's view, the spark between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo lacks opportunity.

The three International Champions Cup qualifying rounds are over, which symbolizes that the final to determine the champion will kick off at Sun Life Stadium on time at 7:00 p.m. local time in the United States.

For Real Madrid, the goalkeeper captain Iker Casillas, the four defenders are Marcelo, Ramos, Pepe and Carvajal, the double midfielder Modric partnered with Khedira, Tang Zheng served as the midfielder, and Cristiano · Ronaldo and one left and one right, with Benzema at the forefront.

Chelsea's goalkeeper Petr Cech, the four defenders are Ashley Cole, Cahill, Terry and Azpilicueta, the double midfielders are Ramirez and Van Ginkel, and the three attacking midfielders are Argentine. Zall, Lampard, Oscar, and the little monster Lukaku are at the front.

Compared with Real Madrid, which is full of main players, Chelsea is more like training newcomers.

But there are plenty of things to watch in this game. First, it is the first confrontation between Chelsea's new head coach Mourinho and former club Real Madrid. Then it is whether Tang Zheng and Lampard, the attacking midfielders who can score the most goals, can compete in the game. Win or lose.

In the end, can Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo continue their on-court relationship from the previous game...

Sun Life Stadium was full of seats, and the fans were enthusiastic, contributing to the final of the International Champions Cup and creating a fanatical atmosphere for the game.

Real Madrid and Chelsea played against each other a total of three times in official matches. Chelsea won two and one draw and remained unbeaten. In the 1971 European Cup Winners Cup final, the two sides fought 1:1 in regular time, and Chelsea defeated Real Madrid 2:1 in overtime to win the championship.

The last time they met was also a long time ago, dating back to the European Super Cup in 1998, when Chelsea, the winner of the Cup Winners' Cup, beat Real Madrid 1-0.

In addition, Mourinho and the team coached by Ancelotti have faced each other four times, and Mourinho has an absolute advantage with three wins and one loss.

Of course, for each new game, the past games can only be used as a reference, not as real.

The on-site director immediately gave a close-up shot of Mourinho, who entered the palace for the second time. This was his first game against Real Madrid after leaving this year, so he looked very serious, standing on the sidelines and directing the game meticulously .

Less than two minutes into the game, Tang Zheng, who was wearing Real Madrid's No. 10 jersey, made a knockout shot. He received a cross pass from Isco and chose to shoot from long range without making any adjustments.

Fortunately, goalkeeper Petr Cech reacted quickly and lifted the ball out of the left post of the goal with a single palm.

Mourinho looked at Tang Zheng and shook his head. If Tang Zheng was with Real Madrid last season, why not win the championship?

The first thing he did when he took over Chelsea this summer was to ask the owner Abramovich to buy Tang Zheng, but the result was that he couldn't pay 100 million euros...

Very depressed!

In the end, Tang Zheng was bought by Real Madrid with floating terms of 105 million euros + 20 million euros.

Look at Lampard, who is already thirty-five years old this year, time is really not forgiving.

The current Tang Zheng can even be said to be an enhanced version of Lampard at his peak.

One must know that Tang Zheng is only twenty-three years old this year, and the upper limit is still very high...

Thinking of this, Mourinho inevitably scolded the boss Abramovich in his heart.

If you are willing to pay 100 million euros, why are you reluctant to part with the floating terms of 5 million euros and 20 million euros?

Although Tang Zheng only moved to Real Madrid this summer, he has not yet reached the ideal tacit understanding with his teammates, but his high golf quotient allows him to use his strengths and avoid weaknesses on the court, using active running and super reading ability to actively cater to his teammates.

However, the problem Ancelotti was worried about still existed. Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, who had a total worth of more than 200 million euros, had not had a chemical reaction yet.

Chelsea coach Mourinho frowned. He knew the overall strength of Real Madrid best. Compared to last season, only Carvajal, Tang Zheng and Isco were replaced in the lineup, and the other positions remained unchanged.

According to Mourinho's analysis, now this Real Madrid team is more dominant.

Tang Zheng didn't have a high level of tacit understanding with his teammates, but his golf intelligence was high enough that he knew what he should do on the court.

He and Cristiano Ronaldo do not have a tacit understanding on the field, but with Isco, who has a better relationship, they often play small cooperation together, so that the midfield triangle of Ramirez, Van Ginkel and Lampard can't do it at all. Estimated to turn from defense to offense.

In the set-piece attack, Tang Zheng's advantage is quite obvious. Even Cahill and Terry, who have been working hard in the Premier League all year round, find it difficult to take advantage of Tang Zheng.

If Mourinho hadn't witnessed Tang Zheng's control in the air with his own eyes, he would really be prepared to complain to Terry and Cahill.

Moreover, Tang Zheng is not the only player in Real Madrid who has a strong ability to grab points. Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Khedira, Ramos, and Pepe all have a strong ability to compete for headers. In front of Tang Zheng, it is normal to lose more and win less.

The game continued, and the team coached by Mourinho still played their good defense and counterattack.

Real Madrid controlled the game normally, Tang Zheng was a bit rough in the details, he couldn't link up the entire midfield attack, but he played very smartly, never sloppy passing and receiving the ball, and he basically delivered the ball with one kick.

Central 5 commentator He Wei was enthusiastic: "Whether it is in Dortmund or Real Madrid, Tang Zheng's playing is still simple, and he is never ambiguous when it is time to pass. His one-foot pass can make the team's offense smoother. Responding to teammates who are closely guarded by the opponent can always rely on excellent foot skills to ensure that the football is not controlled, so Real Madrid spent 105 million euros to introduce Tang Zheng this summer. It is a very cost-effective deal..."

The commentator of ESPN TV in the United States also praised Tang Zheng. He said: "Tang's integration speed is amazing, and there is a feeling of seamless connection. Compared with Mesut Ozil, his abilities are more comprehensive, and his body Strength, speed, ability to read the game, vision, passing, taking the ball forward, long-range shooting, etc. have obvious advantages, I think Chelsea's defense line will be difficult to guard against him."

Twenty minutes into the game, the broadcaster gave the ball possession ratio of the two sides. Real Madrid led Chelsea with 68% and 32%.

It is worth mentioning that Real Madrid's 68% ball possession ratio is not carried out in the midfield, but in Chelsea's defensive half.

British Sky commentator Andy Gray said worriedly: "Real Madrid's control of the frontcourt is too strong. In the front, Tang is responsible for connecting the frontcourt and attacking the midfield. Khedira can also enrich the team's overall offense while completing the defensive task. If Don can spark with Cristiano Ronaldo, it will be really difficult for Real Madrid to find a team that can pose a threat to them next season... "

Guest commentator Martin Taylor raised his head and said proudly: "That's needless to say? I'm not exaggerating. No matter which giants Tang goes to, the overall strength of that giants will rise to a higher level! The real value of Real Madrid's 105 million euros !"

In the twenty-sixth minute, the problem Mourinho worried about finally happened.

Lampard is too old, Van Ginkel lacks experience in high-level competitions, and Ramirez's competitive state has declined. Because he paid too much attention to Tang Zheng's performance, Modric ignored it.

Modric received the ball from the outside of Tang Zheng's left foot and chose to pass the ball non-stop to attack the left rib. Marcelo, who was actively thrusting in, first made an inside cut to Cahill who was defending, and then suddenly Bottom.

The tall Cahill is naturally inferior to Marcelo in terms of movement, so Marcelo, who gained the passing space, swept the ball to the center, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who followed up, kicked the ball to the far end of the goal.

Even Cech, one of the world's three great gate gods, can't do anything.

Real Madrid lead Chelsea 1-0 at Sun Life Stadium...

The score fell behind, and Mourinho sighed. He knew that with the current defensive strength of the midfield, it would be difficult for the team to win the championship in the new season.

Therefore, signings are urgent!
