Midfielder Ruler

- The UEFA Champions League Group Draw Ceremony and the Best European Player Awards Ceremony came to an end, and everyone's focus was on the final selection of the best European players.

Is it Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, or Tang Zheng?

In fact, everyone has already made up their minds. After all, 2010 is not a big game year, and only one player achieved a record-breaking achievement in the -season.

That's right, it was Tang Zheng.

His performance in Dortmund is miraculous, - season Bundesliga champion, German Cup champion, Champions League champion.

Except for the insignificant contribution of the German Cup championship, the league and the Champions League are all obtained by Tang Zheng's super personal ability.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to join the Galaxy Battleship Real Madrid with a floating clause of 100 million euros plus 10,000 euros, becoming the new transfer fee record holder in world football.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and the final ownership cannot be determined until the last moment.

All the suspense came to an abrupt end when UEFA President Michel Platini announced that Tang Zheng was the best European player of the season.

The central commentator He Wei was ecstatic and a little incoherent.

Watching the subtitles given by the broadcaster, the Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV were also excited, so they didn't care. Some fans even became more excited because of He Wei's passionate voice.

On-site British Sky commentator Andy Gray was full of excitement and said loudly: "This is the expected result, but this is a new chapter in history. The first Asian and Chinese player in the history of Champions League football Don!! His talent has been fully displayed in the past-season, which is still fresh in people's memory. After transferring to Real Madrid for .100 million euros, his performance in the new season is remarkable. The FIFA Ballon d'Or at the end of the year will be Tang Is it? Let's wait and see!"

During the speech, Tang Zheng had already walked to the middle, and shook hands with the host Pedro Pinto, Melanie Venig, UEFA President Michel Platini, and "Kicker" magazine rest Holtzshu respectively. , by the way to ease the excitement in my heart.

Pedro Pinto and Melanie Venig tactfully stepped aside to make room, Platini and Holtzshu pulled Tang Zheng and said a few words affectionately, especially the "Kicking" Baller magazine chairman Holtz Shu.

Although Tang Zheng is now a Real Madrid player, he was able to win the title of best player in Europe entirely because of his outstanding performance in Dortmund, which means that Tang Zheng was elected to represent Dortmund and the Bundesliga!

"Kicker" magazine has great influence in Europe,

The Bundesliga is the top five European leagues, but in recent years with the rise of the Premier League and La Liga, the influence of the Bundesliga has been declining. If Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund hadn't performed well one after another, the Bundesliga would have become a second-tier league in Europe. Now Tang Zheng won the best player in Europe The title is a kind of publicity for the golden signboard of the Bundesliga.

Not long after, Tang Zheng patted Holtzshu on the shoulder, tidied up the bow tie suit that Versace had carefully designed for him, and then walked to the middle podium.

The guests, players, and media reporters at the Grimaldi Conference Center held their breaths knowingly, and looked at Tang Zheng.

The same is true for Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi standing behind Tang Zheng, but their concerns are different.

As the glory monopoly before Tang Zheng's sudden emergence, they need to reflect and gather energy, and then regain the lost glory in the coming year.

Tang Zheng coughed lightly, tugged on the black tie again, and exhaled, with a hint of teasing in his majestic voice, he held up the trophy symbolizing the best player in Europe and said: "I thought about it, this time I won't thank my teammates first, coach With the fans, I can finally get the glory, I want to thank..."

Speaking of this, Tang Zheng paused, and said loudly to the seats where the representatives of the 53 UEFA member countries are located: "Thank you to the representatives who voted for me, thank you for your support, voted for me..."

"Hahaha--"

Before the words were finished, there was a loud roar of laughter in the Grimaldi Conference Center.

Tang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly, shrugged his shoulders and said: "I am very serious to thank the representatives who supported me. Is it wrong? I am speechless to you."

There was another burst of laughter in the Grimaldi Conference Center, but Tang Zheng did not stop, but changed his voice from English to Chinese, and shouted: "Actually, I can stand here, I just want to prove one thing, We Chinese can play football well, and even be the best! I am the first Chinese to stand on this stage, but definitely not the last! In the future, I believe that many, many Chinese will stand here, Tell you! I can do it!"

He Wei, who was sitting in the studio in Beijing, was still waiting to translate Tang Zheng's English, but Tang Zheng actually spoke Chinese directly, so that he was stunned.

But the Chinese fans waiting in front of the TV did not. Their emotions became more elevated and uncontrollable.

In residential areas, bars, Internet cafes and other places in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other cities, there was a tacit understanding of shouts echoing around the circle.

Fortunately, He Wei's reaction was quick. After a pause of about three seconds, he said excitedly: "Did the fans waiting in front of the TV hear you clearly? Tang Zheng has proved to the whole world! Chinese players can do it!" The best! Today Tang Zheng can get the best player in Europe, why can't you? If you spend your time drinking and singing, playing games, and beauties on football, are you afraid that you won't be able to become a player like Tang Zheng?"

Guest commentator Xu Yang went on to chat up the surging: "I think everyone is very puzzled why Tang Zheng spoke in Mandarin in such a crucial award acceptance speech? Here I will talk about my own opinion. Tang Zheng hopes that the audience in front of the TV Every fan can feel his original excitement and faith for the first time! Why can’t everyone do what Tang Zheng can do? I think many fans still remember Tang Zheng’s exclusive interview back then, right?”

As a result, the memories of countless fans waiting in front of the TV were brought back to Yang's exclusive interview with Tang Zheng before the UEFA Champions League final.

Many years ago, Tang Zheng was one of the thousands of ordinary amateur players in China. He was a leader among his peers, but sometimes he would inevitably encounter some setbacks. Tang Zheng did not encounter difficulties like most of the best players. With his head down, he faced up to the difficulties and spent a very difficult time in Argentina.

Then step by step, starting from River Plate to Dortmund, after four years of struggle, he finally became the best player in Europe.

Isn't this... a real case?

Who said the Chinese can't play football?

※※※

The Chinese fans in front of the TV listened to Tang Zheng's words and their blood boiled with passion, while Tang Zheng in the Grimaldi Conference Center continued his speech, but his Mandarin then switched back to English: "I'm thinking Ladies and gentlemen here are wondering what I just said, aren't they?"

The guests at the scene nodded in agreement, but Tang Zheng smiled mischievously: "Of course, I won't repeat it."

Tang Zheng's mischievousness caused the guests present to burst into laughter again.

Of course, this is helpless.

Although most of the guests at the scene could not understand Chinese, many foreign fans sitting in front of the TV could hear the real-time translation of the TV station they were watching.

Tang Zheng is Chinese, and many TV stations that purchased the UEFA Champions League group draw and the season-European best player award ceremony have prepared in advance, and prepared instant Chinese translations, so that customers in front of the TV can have a better experience.

It is undeniable that many foreign fans in front of the TV are very dissatisfied with Tang Zheng's remarks, but there is nothing they can do about it. After all, Tang Zheng's achievements are there, and they are recognized by almost everyone.

People, as long as there are achievements as a guarantee, they are impeccable.

As for what Tang Zheng said next, it was quite standard, that is, those who thanked the former teammates, coaches and fans, as well as the teammates and fans of the current club.

In short, he thanked everyone who could be thanked.

On the second day, the focus of mainstream European media was not Dortmund being drawn into the group of death again, nor was it the first European Super Cup away from the Louis II stadium, but what Tang Zheng said when he won the best player award in Europe .

Everything has two sides. If there are media that question it, there will naturally be media that support it.

However, Tang Zheng, the person involved, did not pay attention to the media reports. He returned to Madrid with his coach and teammates on the night of the UEFA Champions League group draw, and prepared for the third round of La Liga at the Bernabéu two days later.

That night, the UEFA Super Cup was held at the Eden Stadium in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.

Although Tang Zheng is no longer a Dortmund player, he has always loved this club deeply, so he watched the live broadcast.

Dortmund, who lost him, always has problems in offensive and defensive transitions. Neither Mkhitaryan, Gundogan, nor Gotze can make up for it.

Not without good news for Borussia Dortmund, at least two times behind the season-long Europa League champions Chelsea, leveled with goals from Lewandowski and Reus respectively, and in the penalty shoot-out : Defeat Chelsea and win the final UEFA Super Cup.

Counting the defeat of Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup at the end of July, Dortmund has already won five championships throughout the year. If they finally win the Club World Cup at the end of the year, they will replicate the six championships won by Barcelona in 2019.

Thinking of this, Tang Zheng shook his head, turned off the TV, and walked to the bathroom.

The brutality of professional football, that's it.

The so-called forever is only a scene in movies.

At twelve o'clock on Sunday, Real Madrid ushered in the third round of La Liga this season at the Bernabeu Stadium, Athletic Bilbao.

In the past season, Athletic Bilbao barely avoided relegation, but in the new season, under the leadership of head coach Ernesto Valverde, the team played the characteristics and courage of the Basque Lions and won two consecutive league victories.

If it weren't for the goal difference, Athletic Bilbao would be able to enter the top three in the World Cup.

Such a team full of characteristics, Real Madrid sitting at the Bernabeu has been unable to open Athletic Bilbao players for a long time.

Athletic Bilbao has always been a team full of combat effectiveness, especially as the head coach Valverde gradually activated the team, the combat effectiveness of the entire team has plummeted.

Many 50-50 opportunities are often grabbed by the imposing Athletic Bilbao players. Cristiano Ronaldo even felt that the Athletic Bilbao players were not aimed at football, but at his ankles.

Actually?

The Athletic Bilbao players just fought fiercely and overwhelmed others with momentum.

As the game progressed, Tang Zheng gradually gained a firm foothold, using a quick kick to connect the midfield and frontcourt to attack, making it impossible for the fierce Athletic Bilbao players to make a move.

As a result, the game gradually returned to Real Madrid's familiar rhythm of the game.

After all, the game is a 90-minute battle, and the physical fitness of the players is limited. It is impossible for the Athletic Bilbao players to use up the physical fitness of a game in just ten or twenty minutes.

so……

In the twenty-seventh minute of the game, Real Madrid opened the scoring.

Tang Zheng gained space for passing the ball through active running. He crossed the penalty area obliquely. Benzema overwhelmed Iraura and returned the ball to the top. The ball returned to the top to complete a burst shot, and then shot the ball to the dead corner.

:

With the first goal produced, the second goal arrived as promised.

The player who scored the goal was Cristiano Ronaldo again!

In the corner kick attack, he relied on Tang Zheng's 'cover' in the front to complete the head-shaking attack, and the football fell to the far corner with an obvious parabola.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a goal, was naturally very excited and completed a domineering celebration.

Tang Zheng pursed his lips and looked very helpless. Just now he was obviously going to head towards the goal, but he was abruptly pushed away by the Bilbao players. Cristiano Ronaldo, who was equally capable of grabbing points, headed towards the goal...

It is equivalent to saying that Tang Zheng's 'cover' was not what he thought in his heart, and everything was caused by inadvertently inserting willows.

Of course, Tang Zheng didn't show it, as long as the team scored a goal.

Before the end of the first half, Athletic Bilbao took advantage of the carelessness of Real Madrid's defense and Herrera pulled a goal back.

But Tang Zheng kicked the world wave at the beginning of the second half to open the score again by two goals, making the game lose suspense again.

And Tang Zheng's goal was also the last goal of the game. In the end, Real Madrid defeated the Basque Lions Athletic Bilbao at home with Cristiano Ronaldo's brace and Tang Zheng's world wave.

It is worth mentioning that in a later league game, Barcelona away game: narrowly beat Valencia, Atletico Madrid away game: narrowly beat Real Sociedad, that is to say, Real Madrid ranked first in La Liga this season with the advantage of goal difference.

This ranking made the Madrid media ecstatic, while the Catalan media and the media that supported Atletico seemed a bit sour.

However, what the media reported made Carlo Ancelotti's coaching staff very worried. The opponents in the first three rounds of the league were not strong enough to oppress Real Madrid enough, such as Tang Zheng, Modric and Xavi Alonso. Players with such super ability have room to play.

If once you meet a team like Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, ​​if there is no cooperation between Tang Zheng and Cristiano Ronaldo, the overall defense may not be affected much, but the problem of offense will be big...

It's just that with the full end of the third round of La Liga in the -season, the international match day is coming again, and the focus of media attention has also shifted.

The Chinese team has two warm-up matches in two international competitions. Tang Zheng, as a member of the national team, will naturally return to China to participate in the warm-up matches against Mexico in Changsha and the away game against Iran.
