Midfielder Ruler

Before the start of Real Madrid's home game against Granada, Tang Zheng showed his FIFA Ballon d'Or trophy in front of more than 80,000 Real Madrid fans. Dust √ Fate × Literature? Learning × Network

"Aww-"

Deafening huge cheers quickly swept the audience.

Tang Zheng enjoyed this feeling very much, especially when all the fans were chanting his name.

This feeling is even stronger than ML.

And in the next game, Real Madrid won Granada by virtue of Tang Zheng's one pass and one shot in the first and second half.

Three days later, Real Madrid once again sat at the Bernabeu at home to face the Spaniard in the second round of the quarter-finals of the 2013-2014 La Liga Copa del Rey.

The final score was the same as the first round, 1:0, a very economical score. The only goal in the game was scored by Cristiano Ronaldo, and Tang Zheng assisted.

The total score of the two rounds eliminated the Espanyol with a total score of 2:0, approaching the semi-finals.

After playing the second leg of the King's Cup quarter-finals, the time came to February, and the first leg of the 2013-2014 season, which was played away at the end of the month, had six games.

Four league games and two Copa del Rey semi-finals.

The next day, the 2013-2014 Copa del Rey quarter-finals came to an end, and La Liga drew lots for the semi-finals.

Two of the four semi-finalists are from Madrid, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, while Barcelona and Real Sociedad are the other two.

Excluding Real Sociedad, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are all popular choices for the league title, and it is unexpected that the same is true for the Copa del Rey.

However, three teams entering the semi-finals also means that at least one of them will withdraw from the 2013-2014 Copa del Rey championship.

The draw for the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey will soon end, Real Madrid VS Atletico Madrid, Barcelona VS Real Sociedad.

In order to make way for the World Cup, the league schedules and domestic cup schedules of major European leagues have been squeezed. At the same time, in order to ensure that the three teams in La Liga can go further in the Champions League, La Liga will hold the semi-finals of the 2013-2014 Copa del Rey. Arranged before the first leg of the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals.

The time is arranged at 7:00 pm on February 5/6 and 8:00 pm on February 12/13 local time in Spain.

That is, after the 22nd round of La Liga in the 2013-2014 season, Real Madrid was a guest at the San Mames Stadium to challenge the Basque Lions Athletic Bilbao.

Considering that the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final at home against Atletico Madrid in the middle of next week, Ancelotti's Real Madrid lineup has been reserved and did not send all the main players.

After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, Real Madrid, which should have won, almost encountered a serious block at the San Mamés Stadium. If Ramos hadn't scored a valuable header in stoppage time during the game, Real Madrid would have been very lucky. It is possible to lose away from home.

Another game at the same time broke a big upset. Barcelona lost 2:3 to Valencia at the Nou Camp.

The next day, Atlético de Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 4-0 at home at the Calderón Stadium.

When all 22 rounds of the league are over, Atletico Madrid will take the first place in the league with the three points they won at home, and Real Madrid will rank second with a difference of two points. Barcelona is four points behind Atletico Madrid and two points behind Real Madrid due to the loss in this round.

Therefore, Barcelona, ​​which unexpectedly lost at home this round, was criticized by the local Catalan media, especially the head coach Martino.

The local media in Catalonia believes that his skills and tactics are not suitable for the current Barcelona at all, because he hopes that Barcelona's traditional Titi-Taka will be more concise and practical, but the reform has not been successful.

Facing a weaker team, he can play content, but once facing a strong team, the sudden acceleration of the game can never keep up with the opponent's rhythm.

Barcelona’s Tiki-Taka tactic is to boil frogs in warm water. It is obviously unrealistic to change it from one gear to five gears. It lost 1:2 to Real Madrid at home, drew 0:0 with Atletico Madrid in the away game, and lost 2:3 at home. Valencia, are the best evidence.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is the trouble caused by Xavi's old age. His role in the midfield is so great that Barcelona is not very comfortable playing in the games he is absent.

Alexander Song, Iniesta, Busquets, Messi have all tried, but the results are not satisfactory.

In addition to the local media in Catalonia bombarding Martino's coaching ability, the Madrid media, which supports Real Madrid, also fished in troubled waters, hoping to influence Barcelona.

After all, one less competitor means more hope of winning the championship.

Whether it is the league level or the Copa del Rey level.

But the next schedule is not very good for Real Madrid. In addition to the home and away scene against Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-finals, they will also face the challenge of Villarreal at home.

The next two opponents are easy to deal with, namely Getafe and Elche.

Then began the first leg of this season's Champions League 1/8 finals, an away game against Gelsenkirchen's representative team Schalke 04, which is Tang Zheng's mortal enemy in the Ruhr Derby when he played for Dortmund.

After that, the Madrid derby.

According to the schedule, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid will have three direct confrontations in just one month.

In other words, the outcome of the three games this season will directly affect the Copa del Rey championship and the league championship.

The Copa del Rey is in the semi-finals, and no team can ignore it. Therefore, whether it is Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid, they will send their main players to fight for glory.

Leaving aside the Copa del Rey semi-finals, the Madrid derby is a must for both sides, especially now that Atletico Madrid is no longer the same as Wuxia Amon back then.

Under the guidance of Simeone, Atletico Madrid can now wrestle with Real Madrid and Barcelona.

In the seventh round of La Liga this season, Atletico Madrid took away a victory at the Bernabéu Stadium.

※※※

At 7:00 pm on February 5th local time in Spain, Real Madrid sat at the Bernabéu Stadium to face Atletico Madrid in the first round of the Copa del Rey semi-final.

Since Atletico Madrid won the away game in the seventh round of the league this season, Ancelotti made some adjustments to the lineup at home in this campaign.

Considering Atletico Madrid's full-court oppression, Real Madrid's midfield configuration is inclined to conduction, that is, midfielders who are good at their feet.

Xavi Alonso, Modric, Tang Zheng and Isco sit in the midfield, the goalkeeper is Diego Lopez in the domestic league, and the defenders are still Marcelo, Ramos, Pepe and Isco. Carvajal.

Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo were at the front of the striker.

Although the official formation is 442, it is not known whether it will be a 442 formation in the end.

The Bernabéu Stadium, which can accommodate 81,000 fans, was full of seats. The Real Madrid fans in white jerseys and the Atletico Madrid fans in red and white striped shirts were clearly distinguishable.

Of course, there are far more Real Madrid fans at home than Atletico fans.

From the first second of the game, the visiting Atletico Madrid used their magic weapon to win La Liga in the past two seasons-full-court oppression!

Xavi Alonso and Modric partnered with double defensive midfielders, Tang Zheng played the central midfielder, and they formed an iron triangle with a tacit understanding of movement and passed the ball with one kick. Atletico Madrid's full-court oppression had little effect on them.

However, in order to prevent the football from being taken away, the Real Madrid players did not pass much forward, but more pass from the midfield to the midfield.

Several consecutive waves of looting did not touch the football, and Atletico Madrid's oppression slowed down.

Obviously, plan B is started.

Real Madrid's countermeasures were within the expectations of Simeone in front of the coach of the visiting team, so the operation of Atletico Madrid was not affected in any way.

Anyway, what they are good at is to counterattack quickly. It is easier to keep the formation stable by retiring to the half-court defense, which will get twice the result with half the effort.

Therefore, Real Madrid's offense seems to be smooth, but it rarely threatens the goal guarded by Courtois.

The Belgian young goalkeeper, who was loaned to Atletico Madrid from the age of 19, has been performing steadily, and this season is even more amazing.

Atletico Madrid's ability to become the team with the fewest conceded goals in La Liga is directly related to his stable and experienced performance.

On the offensive side, Tang Zheng was also closely guarded by Atletico Madrid's midfield four, which isolated him from other attacking Real Madrid offensive players, especially his connection with Isco and Cristiano Ronaldo.

It is not difficult to see that Tang Zheng's teacher Simone spent a lot of energy before the competition to study his most proud disciple so far.

Both Harvey Alonso and Modric are very capable of organizing offense, but Atletico Madrid retreated to the half and chose to almost give up attacking, leaving Real Madrid with extremely limited offensive space, so Harvey Alonso and Modric Qi's attack on Real Madrid can only play a role in diversifying the offensive points.

In addition, Ancelotti was worried about Atletico Madrid's quick counterattack. He asked the players on the field not to attack too unscrupulously, especially the players with defensive functions. The situation of conceding the ball first.

The game lasted until 20 minutes before the two sides contributed an attack that directly threatened the goal.

It was not Real Madrid at home that threatened, but Atlético Madrid as a guest. Diego Costa suddenly went up to steal the ball from Ramos to Xavi Alonso near the arc of the middle circle, and then drove straight in.

Fortunately, Ramos, who made a mistake, has good speed. When Diego Costa shot, he stretched out his foot and touched it. The football hit the right post of the goal when goalkeeper Diego Lopez disarmed and surrendered. Pepe kicked out of the bottom line to be on the safe side.

With this dangerous situation, Real Madrid's offense has become more cautious.

In the absence of the support of Modric and Harvey Alonso, Tang Zheng seemed isolated and helpless, and his connection with Isco and Cristiano Ronaldo was cut off, except for relying on his personal ability to create threats.

But a football game is a team sport, especially in this top-level contest, it is difficult for individual abilities to play a decisive role.

However, there are no absolutes in everything, and many goals that determine the outcome of key games come from the flashes of stars.

Real Madrid has never lacked stars, but the flashes of stars are not common.

Even Cristiano Ronaldo and Tang Zheng, who are in full bloom, find it difficult to shine often.

Therefore, when the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, the score was still 0:0.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Neither side made personnel adjustments, and the game was still played according to the starting lineup of the first half.

As a guest, Atletico Madrid still kept a low profile and gave up the initiative.

In this case, Real Madrid can only 'passively' choose to attack and look for Atletico Madrid's defensive loopholes.

However, the midfield composed of Turan, Gabi, Thiago, and Cork is full of hardness, and everyone has a strong coverage area, abundant physical fitness, and a tough style of play. It is relatively easy for Real Madrid players to control the ball near the midfield , but once they enter the 35-meter area of ​​Atletico Madrid's defense, they will be defended toughly.

Diego Costa not only helped Atletico Madrid in scoring goals, but also played a role in intensifying the emotions of opposing players during the game.

Even La Liga veterans Ramos and Pepe were fooled to varying degrees and received a yellow card each.

As for the instigator, Diego Costa, nothing happened.

The head coach of the visiting team, Simeone, stood on the sidelines and watched the scene with a faint smile. It wasn't that he instructed Diego Costa to do this, but that Diego Costa's behavior was very passionate and inspired the team's morale.

Captain Gabi, Turkish midfielder Turan, Portuguese internationals Thiago and Koke are all under the intangible encouragement of Diego Costa.

In the words of the commentator of the Spanish national TV five - the current Atlético Madrid is different, full of blood, and makes people boil.

In terms of spirit, Atletico Madrid players perfectly suppressed Real Madrid.

Perhaps many Atletico Madrid players are inferior to Real Madrid players in terms of technology, but their game attitude and tactical execution ability are impeccable.

What defense considers is not ability, but more about the positional relationship between each other.

It's very simple, one or two chopsticks are easy to break, but ten chopsticks are very difficult.

Tang Zheng ran more aggressively in the second half, but no matter where he ran, he would find that some Atletico Madrid players were very tight against him.

It's okay to play the ball with one kick. If you hold the ball too much, at least three Atletico Madrid players will gather around him in less than two seconds, blocking all his passing space.

Even though Tang Zheng's footwork is outstanding, it is still difficult to protect the football.

The only advantage is that Tang Zheng has a huge body, and it is very difficult for Atletico Madrid defenders to steal the ball successfully, unless there is a foul.

The on-duty referee Alehand had very sharp eyes and was able to see every detail. He blew his whistle frequently to signal Atletico Madrid players to foul.

Since the fouls were not major, the referee did not give a card.

On the contrary, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone was a little dissatisfied. He chatted with the fourth official from time to time to put a little pressure on the referee on duty.

From a micro point of view, this little action played a huge role, preventing Atletico Madrid's defensive players from eating Real Madrid in defense, and they were not even whistled for fouls in actions that tended to foul.

The game continued, even though Tang Zheng tried his best, there was no way to help Real Madrid pose a threat to Atletico Madrid's goal.

The same is true for Cristiano Ronaldo. In the end, he could only create murderous intent with a long shot after a breakthrough.

But Courtois was in such good form that he turned away shots that were within range of the goal...

Tang Zheng also tried long shots with two feet, but the effect was not ideal, so he chose to play the ball for his teammates instead of seeking the so-called world waves.

In the last twenty minutes, the two sides began to deploy troops, but unfortunately, no one was able to knock on the other side's door.

The score of 0:0 continued until the end of the game.
