Midfielder Ruler

Cristiano Ronaldo used an unconventional backheel shot into the goal of Asenjo to help Real Madrid equalize away and create the basic conditions for the lead.

But Real Madrid will go to the devil's arena in Turkey in the middle of next week. If they focus too much on the domestic league, the Champions League is a bit hanging.

On the contrary, if too much energy is put on the future Champions League group stage, the domestic league will become a bit hanging. After all, the strength of Villarreal should not be underestimated.

And Cristiano Ronaldo's goal helped Real Madrid equalize the score, somewhat reassuring coach Ancelotti, because the away draw with Villarreal, who had won the first three rounds of the league, is also acceptable.

The league has only started four rounds and has a high fault tolerance rate.

In addition, he believes that with the chemical effect between Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng, Real Madrid's performance will only get better and better.

The game continued, and the two sides played each other offensively and defensively under the fanatical atmosphere of the game, but the guest Real Madrid seemed more conservative than the home team Villarreal.

However, considering that Real Madrid is a super giant, there are many international players in the team, and they are all the main players. The impact of the Fifa virus is not small, and the players have some physical problems. In the middle of next week, they will fly to Istanbul, Turkey to participate in the UEFA Champions League group stage. There is nothing wrong with the domestic league.

Also affected is Barcelona. They not only have to stay in the Champions League group stage next week, but also face a very strong opponent in this round, which is Sevilla.

In a blink of an eye, the first half ended, and the scoreboard still showed 1:1

Double-handed players enter the locker room from player to player to prepare for the second half of the game.

The 15-minute intermission passed in a blink of an eye, and the players from both sides returned to the court to change sides and fight again.

The game situation is still controlled by the home team Villarreal, but it does not mean that Real Madrid is passively defending. Tang Zheng retreats to the central midfielder position to defend firmly. At the same time, because of his super running ability and reading the game, he can participate in the attack in time .

It's just that his Cristiano Ronaldo has not had a tacit understanding for a long time, so that he can only contact Benzema in front and Isco on the right on the offensive end.

In this way, the number of contacts is greatly limited, which means that Villarreal's defense only needs to limit Benzema or Isco when changing from offense to defense, and it is difficult to play the quick counterattack that Real Madrid is good at.

Tang Zheng has a high ball quotient, so he didn't rush to hand over the ball when he switched from defense to offense, but controlled the rhythm of the game.

Ten minutes later in the second half, Real Madrid threatened Asenjo to defend the goal and did not play the offense for a long time, but the ball possession rate caught up a little bit, from the original slightly behind to the current slightly ahead.

However, the result of a football game does not depend on the ball possession rate, but on the grasp of the opportunities of the double opposition in the game.

As the second half of the game passed, Real Madrid took the lead in making personnel adjustments. Harvey Alonso, who returned from injury, replaced Illarramendi and partnered with Modric to strengthen the ability to play in the middle.

Judging from the initial effect, it was indeed good, but as Villarreal's defensive system gradually adapted, Real Madrid's offense was seriously hindered.

Ancelotti knows that this is not a question of tactics or player ability, but rather that the fifa virus has affected the physical fitness of most of the main players.

Even Tang Zheng, who has always been physically strong, had a decline in coverage, let alone other players.

For Ancelotti, the score of 1:1 is also within the acceptable range of results. The league has just begun, allowing room for mistakes.

Coupled with the more important UEFA Champions League group stage next week, the league can obviously be put aside for the time being.

The score of 1:1 remained unchanged when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, and both sides scored one point each.

The match had just ended, Tang Zheng and his old friend Musacchio walked towards each other tacitly.

"I haven't seen you in three years, and I'm a lot stronger."

Tang Zheng was 1.94 meters tall, and Musacchio, who had just passed 1.8 meters, had to stand on tiptoe slightly, patted his hands behind his back, and responded, "No matter how strong I am, I can't compare to you. It’s the best way to describe your speed of progress.”

"Okay, without further ado, let's exchange jerseys." Tang Zheng took off his jerseys and handed them over.

Musacchio reached out and put Tang Zheng's Real Madrid No. 10 jersey on his left shoulder naturally, and handed over the jersey he took off with his right hand.

Immediately, the two chattered a few more words, and they did not separate until the on-site staff informed them to go to the mixed area for media interviews.

Tang Zheng shook his head, put the jersey on his right shoulder, and remembered the 2010-2011 UEFA Europa League.

That season was really amazing, and I met many old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Had Falcao not moved to Monaco, they would have met in the Madrid derby in La Liga.

Pity.

Since the game ended at ten o'clock in the evening, the Real Madrid team rested in this small city for one night, and then took a flight back to Madrid the next morning.

Real Madrid held a press conference in the press hall of the Bernabéu stadium before the team took a flight to Istanbul, Turkey.

Chairman Florentino personally announced that the club has completed the contract extension with Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, and the two parties will renew their contract until 2018.

Although the specific annual salary figure has not been disclosed, many media have roughly learned about Cristiano Ronaldo's latest annual salary figure and related treatment in Real Madrid through special channels.

According to reports, Cristiano Ronaldo's annual salary has changed from the original 12 million euros to the current 17 million euros, thus surpassing Falcao, Ibrahimovic and Messi in one fell swoop to become the world football player Highest paid professional football player.

Tang Zheng watched the live broadcast of Real Madrid TV in the five-star hotel he rented. To be honest, he felt a little uncomfortable. Salary treatment.

Now, Cristiano Ronaldo's annual salary after tax has reached 17 million euros.

Of course, to Tang Zheng, the salary is just a number, but most of the time the annual salary represents the player's status in the team.

Could it be... the club is more inclined to support Cristiano Ronaldo?

It wasn't until the afternoon of that day that Tang Zheng learned from the official Twitter that the annual salary of 17 million euros after tax for Cristiano Ronaldo was due to his image rights. Real Madrid had 40% and Cristiano Ronaldo had 60%.

In terms of beauty, Tang Zheng has a high proportion.

In order to show their sincerity this summer, Real Madrid didn't even talk about the image rights that La Liga clubs value most, which means that Tang Zheng enjoys all of his image rights.

In this way, he is not worse than Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the afternoon, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid played against Sevilla and Almeria respectively at home.

Barcelona beat Sevilla 3:2 thrillingly at home, and Atletico Madrid beat Almeria 4:2.

In other words, Real Madrid, which drew in this round, retreated from the first place in the league to third in the league, Barcelona returned to the top of the list, and Atletico Madrid was second in the league.

However, the changes in points in the early stages of the league seemed normal in all major leagues, and not many media were dissatisfied with Real Madrid's performance.

Of course, the local media in Catalonia will not let go of this opportunity.

There are reports that ridicule Real Madrid's investment of more than 200 million euros in the new season. They believe that even though Barcelona did not invest a lot of money and even changed a new coach, Barcelona coached by Martino showed super combat effectiveness at the beginning of the new season.

If it weren't for the diversion behind the defense line, the team's goal difference would be more.

So as the league deepens, regardless of whether Real Madrid can find their status, the team that finally won the league championship this season is still Barcelona!

At 8 o'clock the next morning, the Real Madrid team took a flight from Madrid to Istanbul, Turkey, to prepare for the first round of this season's Champions League group stage.

At 8:45 p.m. on September 17, local time in Europe, Real Madrid's away game against Galatasaray kicked off the Champions League group stage, and there are seven games to be played at the same time.

Real Madrid coached by Ancelotti played all the main players in the first UEFA Champions League game. Captain Casillas also met the requirements of the starting lineup after resting for most of the season. He returned to the starting lineup after 238 days.

The four defenders are Marcelo, Pepe, Ramos and Carvajal, the double midfielders are Xavi Alonso and Modric, and the three forwards are Cristiano Ronaldo, Tang Zheng and Isco , Benzema is at the top.

At the beginning of the game, both sides were very cautious.

After all, the error tolerance rate of the Champions League is far lower than that of the league. As long as one or two of the six group matches do not perform well, the result is to wait for the resumption of the Champions League next season.

It should have been a good thing for Casillas to return to the starting lineup, but unfortunately he collided with Ramos in the 14th minute.

After being diagnosed by the team doctor, Casillas had no way to persist in the game, and he had to be replaced by Diego Lopez.

Real Madrid's overall strength is much higher than that of the home team Galatasaray, but Casillas' injury has affected the team's overall offense to a certain extent, making the direct threat to Muslera's shot delayed.

Until the 32nd minute, Tang Zheng suddenly made a 45-degree diagonal pass from the left side of the center line to find Isco.

The football was placed very accurately. Isco unloaded the football in the right corner of the penalty area, resisted Riera and slammed the ball to the right, and took advantage of the stride frequency to grab the shot before Riera shoveled and blocked.

Uruguay goalkeeper Muslera's speed is not unreasonable, but Isco's shot angle is very tricky, and it is against the turf.

The football ran from the fingertips of the fallen Muslera to the far corner of the goal, hit the inner edge of the left goal post and bounced into the net.

The hellish Turk Telecom Stadium almost completely lost its sound at this moment, only the Real Madrid fans who came from afar shouted excitedly.

Isco, who scored the goal, was even more passionate and ecstatic.

Because... this is his first Champions League goal since joining Real Madrid.

As a good friend, Tang Zheng was very happy for Isco, and temporarily heaved a sigh of relief.

In the last round, the team drew 1:1 with Villarreal in an away game. Although many media believe that it is normal for Real Madrid to not be able to play their own characteristics against strong teams during the run-in period, there are also many media who point their finger at Tang Zheng.

Cristiano Ronaldo's final decision helped Real Madrid equalize the score, but Tang Zheng, who is 105 million euros, did not score or assist, and he will be criticized by the media to some extent.

Now Isco, who has transferred to Real Madrid for 30 million euros, scored assists from himself, which can relieve some pressure.

Real Madrid lead the away game, and Galatasaray, who sits at home, seems a little anxious.

But in many cases, it is useless to be anxious. The offense needs to be organized in an orderly manner, otherwise it will be difficult to score goals on a team of Real Madrid's level.

Of course, defensive mistakes are not included in this ranks.

After all, it is expected that Real Madrid's defense will make inexplicable mistakes. The prerequisite is that the frontcourt attack will put huge pressure on the defense.

However, the most difficult thing for Galatasaray at home is to attack and pose a threat to Real Madrid's defense, so the game situation is still inclined to the visiting team Real Madrid.

Tang Zheng has a large activity area in the midfield and attracts a lot of Galatasaray defensive players, allowing Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Isco to gain a lot of space and opportunities.

It was only due to luck that the score was not extended to two goals.

Before the end of the first half, Galatasaray central defender Eboue made a clearance error and kicked Benzema, and the football rolled into Tang Zheng's controllable range.

After making some adjustments, Tang Zheng glanced at the direction of the goal, then raised his right foot and made a long shot from the front of the penalty area.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema went to the penalty area, one left and one right, waiting for Tang Zheng's deadly pass.

Half a second later, Cristiano Ronaldo stopped in place and shook his arm angrily.

Because Tang Zheng didn't give him the ball, but passed it straight to Benzema.

Focusing entirely on the football, Benzema stopped the ball forward on the inside of the instep of his right foot before turning to face the goal.

Eboue made a mistake in clearing the siege, and his partner Qieru had to step forward to defend Tang Zheng, but the transition from defense to offense is when the defense is the weakest, and there will often be situations where people are missed.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema, Eboue can only defend one.

In terms of choice, Eboue tends to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Therefore, the target of Tang Zheng's pass is Benzema.

It was too late for the left back Nunku to recover again. Benzema met the ball and entered the penalty area, facing the goalkeeper Muslera one-on-one.

There is no doubt about Muslera's talent, but his stability is a little bit poor, but the single-handed ball has little to do with stability, and what is more tested is on-the-spot performance.

Benzema's shooting skills are relatively superb. Facing Muslera's attack, he did not panic. Instead, he made a fake move to trick Muslera into making a save, and then pushed the ball away from Muslera with the outside of his right foot. Slila's controllable range, and then hit the empty goal...

In the first match of Real Madrid's new Champions League season, Tang Zheng did not score a goal, but had two assists.

Benzema, who has a better relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, seemed a little at a loss. After scoring a goal, he subconsciously ran towards Cristiano Ronaldo, but thought that the assist was Tang Zheng...

Embarrassed.
